Chapter 192 Mourning
"I've heard of pottery. Two years ago, pottery was all the rage across the land. But in recent years, pottery has stopped being sold. The price of the original pottery has also risen, and it's no longer available in this market."
"What about the Jiang Shuiqi clan? Are there any members of the Jiang Shuiqi clan in the city?"
"Jiang Shuiqi clan?" The vendor thought for a moment, "I remember now, it's the Jiang Shuiqi clan that produces dragon silk?"
Mu Yunyun nodded: "Exactly."
"This... I've only heard some rumors. I heard that the Jiang Shuiqi clan chief was seriously ill and on the verge of death two years ago. Last month, he was on the verge of passing away. The Qi clan members in the city rushed to the main family early on. I heard that even Shennong was invited there."
"what!"
Critically ill and on the verge of death?
"How could this happen? What went wrong?"
"I don't know about that. You should ask around elsewhere, my lady."
The question Mu Yunyun wanted to ask got stuck in her throat, and she could only swallow it down.
Shao Yi bought a small bamboo bowl for the cubs and handed it over with the sea coins, saying, "Thank you for your trouble."
"It's nothing, it's nothing." The vendor smiled憨厚ly; this little bamboo bowl didn't even cost a single coin, he was actually making a profit.
"What happened? Has something happened?"
Could Jiang Shuiqi be her clan?
“I had some connection with the patriarch of the Jiang Shuiqi clan. Before I fell into trouble, I asked him to take care of my Snow Weasel clan. I never expected that something like this would happen.”
She fell seriously ill two years ago, which was when she was still alive. Why didn't they tell her about such a big thing earlier? She had never heard the Nightbird Clan mention it.
"Since Shennong has come out of seclusion, there shouldn't be any major problems. There are members of Shennong's clan in the city, so why don't we go and ask them?"
"Alright."
......
The Shennong clan of Kunshan was a large clan.
As early as the time of Shennong, the legendary ancestor, his medical skills were renowned throughout the land.
There are many herbal medicine shops in the city, all of which are collateral relatives of Shennong.
Shao Yi was very familiar with their territory, clearly indicating that this wasn't her first time there.
“Shennong would also go up the mountain to get herbs,” he explained.
It turned out to be the case.
Mu Yunyun understood.
When they arrived at Shennong's territory, the gatekeeper slaves exclaimed "Oh!" as soon as they saw Shaoyi.
"Ancestor, it's the ancestor."
The old man was thin and short, but his voice was very loud.
He slapped his thigh and hurried over, only to find Mu Yunyun beside him and the cub she was holding in her arms when he got closer.
"Our ancestor hasn't been here for a long time, what's going on?"
"Father, hug me."
The little guy wanted to snuggle into his arms; he was still a little scared of unfamiliar places.
The old man's eyes lit up.
"I never expected it to be the ancestor's offspring and mate."
The repeated use of "ancestor" made Shao Yi's face turn as black as it could possibly be.
He asked in a deep voice, "Where is the clan chief?"
"They're inside. The ancestor arrived at just the right time. If it had been half an hour later, the clan leader would have gone to Jiangshui."
The words "ginger water" made Mu Yunyun's eyelids twitch.
Why drink ginger water?
"It's like this, our family needs a batch of herbs, one of which, the Immortal Mountain Spirit Saliva, is only available in our Fenglin. So, we need to send it over as soon as possible."
The elixir of immortality from the sacred mountain!
"Isn't this celestial mountain saliva used for summoning spirits?"
What is a hanging spirit?
This herb is used when a dying person lingers on their breath and refuses to breathe, and all medical treatments have failed, to help them find relief as quickly as possible.
Mu Yunyun had a growing sense of foreboding.
"Is it used by Jiang Shuiqi?"
"You even know about this, Lady Ji?" The old man was surprised. "That's right, it was indeed sent to Jiang Shuiqi's family. There's only one of these spiritual herbs, so we need to send it over as soon as possible."
