LV (6-15g)
Chi Shao (Red Peony Root) - The Red Pony.
The red pony got hot blooded on that
summer day, when he saw the forest on fire
he couldn't believe his eyes. He
ran in bloody circles and caused a traffic
jam which unfortunately didn't help the fire engines get there
any faster!
When the red pony found that the pregnant (cc:
pregnancy) Li Lu (cc: incompatible with LiLu)
had started the fire, it demanded blood (cc: blood
deficiency)
