We gathered a few more herbs in the glade. I explained to Lin Weiwei the effects of each as we collected them: poria helps absorb excess water in the body, angelica pacifies over-sensitivity in digestion, and so on. Lin Weiwei listened carefully, and I felt a sense of pride rising in me. At least I had enough skills in medicine to teach someone else.
"How much more do you think you'll need?" I asked her when my basket was nearly full. She hadn't used hers yet. "We can put the rest in your basket if necessary, though I think what we have is already enough."
Lin Weiwei placed her hand on her basket draped over with a piece of white cloth. It was a typical measure to block sunlight and retain moisture in the herbs. "I think this is enough," she agreed. "This is a wonderful glade, Senior Yun. Does anyone else know about this place?"
"Only my master," I said with a smile. Bai Ye had been proud of me for finding the underground lake.
