Finding The Herb

"What happened, Girl?"

The old physician as he saw that Li Rui was standing straight without cutting the plant from the pot.

"Hurry! Here dig it out."

He said as he forwarded a pointy thing to Li Rui that could help her in digging out the plant. However, Li Rui shook her head and said in a low voice.

"They can't be used. All of them are already rotten."

There was so much heaviness in her voice. The old physician's heart sank inside his chest. He looked at the plants and couldn't help but ask

  "From where are they rotten?"

"Their roots."

Li Rui answered again in a low voice as she stepped out from the grassy area. The old physician also bent down to check one of the plants and his face went red when he saw that it was indeed spoiled.

"It is my fault."

The old physician couldn't help but say to himself. After all, it was he who was taking care of these plants since Li Rui was pregnant.
