Now the job of cultivating medicine gardens is all young and middle-aged laborers, working more than four hours a day, and the wages range from 20 to 30. It is more profitable than carrying jobs in the town, and the wages are paid on time. Their two sons and daughter-in-law are worth a hundred dollars a day!
Those who know herbs can also pick herbs in the nearby hills after casual work. The manager of the medicine garden also collects herbs, and the price is higher than that of the pharmacies in the city. There are many people in the village who know simple herbal medicines, and they can earn a few cents every day when they go out early and return late every day.
The Kenkun family recognized a lot of herbs, and the herbs they dug every time were of the best quality and the largest quantity. When you are lucky, you can buy dozens of pennies of herbs in a day!
The wild beasts on several nearby hills have been cleaned up or driven away. Except for the marked miasma forest, other places are safe. Whether it is collecting herbs, picking wild vegetables, or hunting some small prey for tooth sacrifice, it is safe!
In the nearby villages, there is no need to worry about wild beasts coming down the mountain and taking the children away. The little genius doctor is really a living Bodhisattva who has done so many good deeds. Looking back, I must set up a longevity card for the little genius doctor, and the incense is kept offering!
Liya's ability to work as a long-term worker in the medicine garden is also due to the kindness of the little genius doctor. The old patriarch secretly told his daughter to help the little genius doctor take care of the medicine garden. They have no ability to repay the great kindness of the little genius doctor, so they can only express their gratitude in this way.
The news that Gu Ye had healed the little boy naturally couldn't be hidden from the emperor of Sen Kingdom. He fell into deep thought, if the plague on the human face can be cured, how many people died in vain in the massacre of exterminating villages more than 30 years ago!
Thirty years ago, he was still the prince. Seeing this case, I was shocked and angry! He is the one who demands severe punishment of the officials involved. After ascending to this position, he gradually understood that without the acquiescence and connivance of his father, how could those officials dare to set fire to a village with hundreds of people?
The rumors of human-faced plague were too terrifying, and Ah Wang's cottage was only a hundred miles away from the capital, so no one in high position dared to gamble with the lives of all the people in the capital. After all, in the capital of Sen Country at that time, there was no "peerless little genius doctor" as a big killer, and there was no confidence to retreat from the plague.
If it were him, maybe he would make the same choice, right?
"Little genius doctor...going to find the truth in Ah Wang's village?" Emperor Sen Kingdom looked at Master Guoshi and asked softly?
Situ Yan nodded lightly and said, "Yes!"
Emperor Sen Kingdom was silent for a long time before he sighed and said, "Let her go! It's better to find out the truth of the matter than to hide my ears and steal the bell for more than 30 years! National Teacher, it's hard work for you to accompany me for a walk! "
Master Guoshi who is about to break up with Ling Juechen: ...
Can he say no? Of course not. well! The more you want to avoid that ugly woman with a poisonous tongue, the more you want to get entangled. This is the so-called evil fate!
Two days later, Situ Yan looked hopeless, and lazily followed behind the couple who were showing their affection all the time, asking the sky silently: Why is he here, forced to eat a mouthful of dog food? Who will save him?
What is even more helpless is the head of the Li clan who was invited as a guide. When he was young, he was foolish and bold, and secretly ran to the village of Ah Wang, but that doesn't mean he wasn't afraid! In case the plague god in the village hasn't left yet and blames him for leading the way, will he still have a way out?
Do not! There is an injustice and a debtor! Lord God of Plague, if you want to blame, blame these culprits who proposed to go to Ah Wang's cottage. They are the sinners who disturb your purity!
"Patriarch Li, hurry up! Look, the ants on the ground are overtaking you! What are you doing?" Gu Ye disliked his slow speed, "Don't worry, with me around, I won't let you get sick. Besides, even if there is a virus that can infect people in Ah Wang's cottage, it will be gone after more than thirty years. What else do you have to worry about?"
Putting it lightly! They all say "Don't be afraid of 10,000, just in case", if the plague god hasn't left, they will all be unlucky! Under the threatening eyes of Master Guoshi, Patriarch Li had no choice but to pull himself together and move on.
Ah Wang's cottage is in the deep mountains, and it took a whole day to walk along Guangshan Road. It is as remote as Qingshan Village, where Gu Ye lived since he was a child.
The closer he got to Ah Wang's cottage, the more uncomfortable Gu Ye felt, and his exposed skin felt a slight tingling pain. She frowned and asked her husband, "Do you feel anything?"
Ling Juechen felt it seriously, shook his head lightly and said: "I didn't notice the physical feeling, but there seems to be something pressing on my heart, and I feel a little uncomfortable."
Ling Juechen knew that his daughter-in-law's five senses were much more sensitive than ordinary people's. Seeing her complexion getting worse and worse, he couldn't help asking: "How do you feel? What's wrong?"
Gu Ye shook his head lightly, and said: "I don't know what the reason is, the more I walk in, the whole body feels wrong. It doesn't look like poison..."
Patriarch Li stopped involuntarily after hearing the conversation between the two. He timidly looked left and right, always feeling that the devil hidden in the darkness would rush out when people were not paying attention.
The night wind shook the branches and leaves of the trees, making a rustling sound. An unknown night bird suddenly broke the silence of the forest and let out a piercing scream, like the cry of a wronged soul.
The head of the Li family is more than fifty people, but his legs and feet are extremely agile. He flashed behind the master in an instant, and said tremblingly: "There are still two or three miles to go, and we will reach the ruins of the Awang village... It is already dark now. Already, Master Guoshi, why don’t we go there tomorrow?”
By the light of the torch, Situ Yan saw the wild grass half a person's height in front of him. Indeed, no one has walked this road for more than 30 years, and it can no longer be called a road. In the dark night, weeds grow wildly, making it even more difficult to walk. At night, I couldn't find any clues.
He looked back at Ling Juechen and Gu Ye and his wife, and suggested, "Why don't we retreat first and find a flat place to rest for the night. What do you think?"
Gu Ye was about to nod. Suddenly, Patriarch Li's pupils dilated suddenly, and he stared behind Master Guoshi with a horrified expression.
Gu Ye followed his line of sight, and saw a pair of beast-like eyes among the dense bushes, reflecting the dazzling light in the light of the torch. The point is, this creature that looks like a human actually has two faces...
"Ah—Human Face Plague! Ghost!" Li Clan Chief screamed, staggering towards the road to the afterlife and running away. It is said that in the deep mountains, there has been a ghost wandering in Awang's cottage, it must be! They are here for revenge! Whoever touches it will get a face plague! !
The humanoid creature in the darkness obviously didn't expect to be discovered suddenly. In a daze, he quickly fled towards the deep mountains. "He" is clearly familiar with the surrounding terrain, and even in the dark night without starlight, he can walk like flying.
"What are you doing, chase after him!" Gu Ye glared at Situ Yan, and quickly chased after the black shadow. Seeing his daughter-in-law gone, Ling Juechen naturally followed to protect her.
Situ Yan hesitated for a moment, but also followed helplessly. He was on the same level as Ling Juechen, muttering in a low voice: "I mean, Chenzi, your wife is too courageous. She chased after her before she was sure what she was. Sigh... Thank you for your hard work." !"
Tonight's night is very dark, not to mention the moonlight, not even the stars. Even though Gu Ye has good eyesight, the rugged mountain road covered with weeds still affected her speed.
She was about to quietly take out the speed potion and drink it, but she saw the black figure in front of her, jumping and turning several times between the rocks, and lost the figure of the other party.
"Huh? You ran really fast!" Gu Ye wandered around the place where the black shadow disappeared for a few times, but found nothing, and turned to vent his anger on the two people who followed, "You two are peerless masters, and you can't even catch up with anyone Come on! Especially you, holding a torch and landing at the end, no woman can run as fast as me, are you embarrassed?"
Situ Yan, who was shot in the knee, felt that his teeth were going bald. Ever since this stinky woman came, the frequency of his teeth grinding has become more and more frequent day by day.
Master Guoshi took a deep breath, silently said several times "Only women and villains are difficult to raise", "I don't have the same knowledge as women", and then said: "Are you sure the other party is a human?"
"It's not a human, is it a monkey? Have you ever seen a monkey that is about the same height as you?" Gu Ye couldn't help yelling at him again, grabbed the torch in his hand, and went to check the surrounding terrain.
Women are really unreasonable and difficult to communicate! Situ Yan looked at Ling Juechen, and asked, "Have you seen the other party's appearance clearly? Doesn't it really have something to do with the human face plague?"
Ling Juechen frowned and said, "There is indeed another face beside that person's face. It is somewhat similar to the legendary human face plague... I just don't know if the extra face is real or fake. "
"Can this be faked? Who is so bored, and puts a fake face on himself, pretending to be a human face? Aren't you afraid of attracting people from the government?" Situ Yan fell into deep thought—could it be... Thirty years ago, Ah Are there any survivors in Wangshan Village?
Gu Ye didn't find any clues, and said a little uncomfortable: "Honey, let's get out of here quickly. I'm a little dizzy..."
Startled, Ling Juechen hurried over, supported Gu Ye, and asked softly, "What's uncomfortable? Is it poison?"
Gu Ye shook his head and said: "It doesn't look like poison, but... a kind of radiation. The closer I get to the Awang village, my skin feels like I've been sunburned, and it hurts hot. I've been here for a long time. My head started to feel heavy, too."
Ling Juechen quickly picked him up, and flew towards the way he came. Situ Yan followed closely, and said strangely: "What's 'ambush'? Could it be a trap set by bandits or robbers? Who is so bold to ambush us openly?"
Seeing the uncomfortable appearance of the little woman in his arms, Ling Juechen quickened his speed again, not having time to explain to Situ Yan. Gu Ye didn't feel better until he walked out of the three or four mile mountain road.
Ling Juechen was worried, and walked further out of the mountain for a while before stopping. Gu Ye took out four bottles of potion from the space, gave one bottle to her husband, Master Guoshi, and Yue Yuan, and asked them to drink it.
