Chapter 213: Enter Wu Village
Su Xi looked at Master Zhang for a moment, and finally nodded.
Su Xi was sent to the inn at the bottom of the mountain, and watching Master Zhang and Liang Zi's carriage drift away, she heard a conversation that was not very clear.
Liang Zi asked Master Zhang, "Master, ...... this deal?"
Master Zhang sighed, but his voice was a little firm and resolute: "In such a troubled world, we are all protecting our lives, the so-called affection, that is me to you, you to me." As for the others, all they can do is do their best. β
The corners of Su Xi's mouth rose, she liked this pair of masters and apprentices very much, and she also felt that they were very humane.
For the next five days, Su Xi went up the mountain to collect medicine before dawn every day, and only returned to the inn very late. At this time, the herbs were originally very rare, and if they were not diligent, they would be picked by others.
Sometimes I met other people who were collecting medicine on the mountain, and when they saw Su Xi, an old man of such an age, they were extremely humble to her, and they didn't compete with her for anything, and they were very polite and respected Su Xi very much.
Su Xi sighed, in this world, there are still many good people, and no one has a hard time, but they still keep the opportunity to themselves, of course she was moved.
Five days may be a long time for Master Zhang and Liang Zi, because they spend it in worry, worried that Su Xi will not be able to give them enough Jiang Lingcao, but for Su Xi, five days is a very short time, she only sleeps about two hours a day, and the rest of the time is spent in the mountains.
For Jing Hao, she had to race against time to collect Jiang Lingcao.
In a flash, five days have passed, according to the appointment time, Master Zhang took Liang Zi to the inn where Su Xi was staying, until the two saw the car topped Jiang Lingcao presented to them by Su Xi, and the hearts of the two of them were not settled.
Liang Zi stayed in the inn, while Master Zhang took Su Xi and drove towards Wu Village.
Master Zhang and Su Xi's hearts are all up and down, and the transaction between them is completed, but whether they can enter Wu Village smoothly depends on whether the guardian will let them go.
When passing through the guardians, they rationally checked the goods on the car, and unexpectedly, they did not stop Su Xi, and the two entered Wu Village smoothly.
Master Zhang and Su Xi inevitably overestimated the guardians, there were so many people who came in and out every day to do things, where could they remember, as long as they remembered that it was two people who sent the herbs, as for what kind of people they were, they didn't have much impression in their minds.
It wasn't until they entered Wu Village, when the car turned a corner and the guardian was no longer visible, that Master Zhang and Su Xi breathed a long sigh of relief.
"Old man, I can only bring you here, and as for the witch doctor you are looking for, I'm sorry, I don't know where it is, and I can't take you there. "Originally, Master Zhang had already taken a great risk by bringing Su Xi to Wu Village, and the deal he had reached with Su Xi was just to bring her in.
Su Xi knew that things had developed so far, Master Zhang had done his best, and she could only rely on herself for the rest.
Su Xi said to Master Zhang: "Thank you, I'll go to the witch doctor myself, and I don't have to trouble you for the rest." β
As he spoke, Su Xi was about to leave Master Zhang's cart transporting medicinal herbs and enter the interior of Wu Village, and after walking a few steps, Master Zhang stopped him: "Old man!"
Su Xi turned around, but saw Master Zhang looking at himself with sympathy and guilt: "I'm sorry, Liang Zi and I can only do so much for you, and, thank you for your herbs, look at your hands, presumably in these five days, you have been tired a lot, really, thank you, your cart of Jiang Lingcao saved our master and apprentice." β
Su Xi smiled faintly and said to Master Zhang: "We just take what we need, and if you can promise to bring me in, this is already the biggest reward for me." β
Take what you need, if you say this, maybe Master Zhang's heart will feel better.
In Master Zhang's opinion, the cart of Jiang Lingcao that Su Xi gave him allowed him and Liang Zi to continue the business with the shopkeeper of Wucun Wang, avoiding faults and losing partners, and for Su Xi, the most difficult thing at the moment is to enter Wucun, collecting Jiang Lingcao is not difficult for Su Xi, who knows Jiang Lingcao's habits and knows where they are used to growing, although it takes more energy, consumes physical energy and is exhausting, and the race against time in five days is easier than Wucun, which may not be able to enter even if it consumes physical energyγ
"It's just that the witch doctor in this witch village doesn't have a very good temper, I don't know if I can see your granddaughter, and besides, witch doctors generally won't go out of the witch village, as for your granddaughter's illness, in my opinion, ......."
The words "a little hanging" Master Zhang didn't say it, but Su Xi already understood the meaning of his words.
"Thank you Master Zhang for worrying, you hurry up and deliver the goods, I will figure out the matter of the witch doctor myself." β
After Su Xi and Master Zhang parted ways, they walked on the streets of the village.
Although it is called Witch Village, it may seem strange and strange to outsiders, and even mysterious and terrifying, but there is no difference between this place and the outside.
The people in the village dress, say and behave, are almost the same as the outside, if there is any difference, it can only be said that the architecture here is more tropical.
The bamboo buildings are connected, there is a lot of vegetation, and people's skin color is slightly darker.
However, in Su Xi's opinion, the climatic conditions here are not much different from the outside, or even more humid and hot, how can they seem to have such a healthy wheat complexion?
Therefore, even if Su Xi's dress is not eye-catching, even if she is disguised as an old man, she is a little more eye-catching among the people with an average skin color that is two sizes darker than her.
Su Xi kept praying in her heart, but she didn't want to expel her like the last village she experienced, she still wanted to find news of Jing Hao?
Thinking of Jing Hao, Su Xi, who was a little weak and scared in the unfamiliar and vigilant gaze of everyone, gradually grew in courage, hunched over, and coughed as he walked forward.
If it were a strong man from outside, maybe they would be more vigilant and more cautious, but Su Xi, who looked like a leader in his eighties, made their vigilance much weaker.
