Chapter 161: Medicinal Materials
There was a chilling silence in the room.
Xia Mei sat with her back to the window, at this moment the scorching sun outside was still baking the earth hard, the scorching temperature made her back sweat, and the slightest cool breeze blew in, and she couldn't help but shiver.
The sticky feeling on her back made Xia Mei move uncomfortably and swallowed her saliva.
The old valley lord on the opposite side seemed to fall into memory, and sat down in his chair, not moving.
Xia Mei lowered her eyes and looked at her clean-trimmed nails, but there was a mess of paste in her mind.
To be honest, she didn't understand why the old valley lord would tell her these things, she hadn't seen Qin Batian, and she didn't know anything about it.
But...... Xia Mei exhaled softly, her heart was still heavy.
I don't know...... Qin Zhihan, do you know this news?
Moreover, Qin Batian is just a small owner of a restaurant, who would use such a rare poison to take his life?
According to what the old valley lord said, that person should not be a small role...... There are not a few people who are persecuted by it on the rivers and lakes, and such people are definitely not ordinary people.
At least not within the scope of Xia Mei's friendship.
The old valley lord slowly opened his eyes, recovered from his memories, and glanced at the woman with a frowning brow, and the pity in his eyes was full of pity.
"Mrs. Xia, the old man has no other meaning, this matter, Mrs. Xia is not suitable to participate in it, the twists and turns, you better not think too much."
Out of kindness, the old valley lord still reminded Xia Mei that she was just a woman after all.
Xia Mei raised her head and glanced at the old valley master, her eyes flashed with firmness, and she said with a straight face: "Old valley master, can you tell Xia Mei what is the use of the method of making ice in the Medicine King Valley?" ”
Speaking of this, the old valley lord sighed deeply, "What the old man said to Mrs. Xia before was not all a joke, I said before that there were poisoned people on the rivers and lakes. There were forty or fifty people in ten years, but the old man has never developed an antidote. ”
"It wasn't until two years ago that I happened to meet a young man on the side of the road, and I was deeply poisoned at that time. The old decay brought it back to the valley, and with the results of the past ten years, the toxicity was finally temporarily suppressed. ”
"It was at that time that the old man accidentally discovered a plant born in an extremely cold place, the fox fruit. It works wonders for suppressing such toxicity. ”
"The old man immediately poured out the strength of the whole valley and went to the extremely cold land in the far north to retrieve that kind of plant, this kind of fruit is always guarded by a large group of snow foxes, and it is quite difficult to obtain, but the strength of the Medicine King Valley is not vegetarian, and it can collect a few grains anyway."
"It's just ......" Speaking of this, the old valley master's expression was really extremely depressed, and even Xia Mei felt the deep anger and helplessness from the other party, "That thing is really too delicate." If you leave the extremely cold place, you must take medicine within an hour, which ...... It's impossible! ”
……
Xia Mei thought that maybe she had vaguely guessed the other party's intentions.
Sure enough, the next words made Xia Mei's mood very subtlely complicated.
The old valley lord looked at Xia Mei with a look of expectation, full of helplessness and pleading, and his voice trembled slightly with excitement: "If it is...... If there is a way to make ice, this way back from the extremely cold place to ensure that the temperature of the fox fruit is below its growth temperature. I can transport it back to the Medicine King Valley......"
Seeing the other party's urgency to grasp the life-saving straw, what else could Xia Mei say?
Yu Qing, Yu Li, and Xia Mei have no reason to refuse.
On the emotional side. The other party has long played the emotional card, Qin Zhihan's father died because of this poison, and if he wants to stand in Qin Zhihan's perspective, he doesn't want to see the real culprit behind the scenes continue to harm people, and he doesn't want to see anyone experience the same pain as him.
And Xia Mei said that she was a little cook under Qin Zhihan when she was young, and she said that she had a good personal relationship with the boss when she was older. And some strange women with strange ideas.
Therefore, she will definitely not go against Qin Zhihan's wishes.
Then from a rational point of view, the other party is the Medicine King Valley who stomps his feet, and the entire Dayu has to tremble, if he can make friends with the other party, this is an opportunity that no matter how many people ask for, they can't ask for it.
Xia Mei also had no reason to refuse.
Therefore, Xia Mei finally sighed faintly, stood up, and saluted the old valley lord, "Old valley lord, the little woman is willing to help the medicine king valley." ”
The old valley lord showed a relieved smile on his face, and he couldn't stop bowing his head and said, "Yes, yes, San'er really didn't misunderstand you." ”
Xia Mei decided to take the initiative to teach the other party the method, anyway, if it was the owner of the Medicine King Valley, as long as she went to the cellar to take a look, she would be able to know her little tricks, and the other party could negotiate with herself openly and honestly, which was already enough to give herself face.
Although she didn't want to admit it, Xia Mei felt that if she didn't agree, the other party might solve it herself.
Although, Xia Mei is also curious, why did so many shops in Dayu sell ice alone? Even if he is the "creator" of this method, but as the transcendent Medicine King Valley of the rivers and lakes, it is much better to negotiate with the Huaiyun Gang.
There were still doubts in her heart, but Xia Mei didn't ask, the relationship between these big forces on the rivers and lakes, she should not talk too much......
It's already unsettling to know this......
The negotiation with the old valley lord is over, both parties are satisfied with the current results, and the old valley lord is not polite, but just said that there is a place where the Medicine King Valley needs in the future, and they will definitely not refuse.
Xia Mei smiled indifferently, hesitated for a moment and asked, "I don't know...... The poisoned teenager is still in good health? ”
Hearing this, the old pavilion master's body stiffened, the smile on his face slowly converged, and the heartache that flashed in his eyes was seen by Xia Mei, who immediately apologized, "It's Xia Mei who has overstepped." ”
Unexpectedly, the old pavilion master shook his head, glanced at her before sighing: "That kid is Mu San......"
“!!!”
Xia Mei's eyes widened in shock, staring at the old pavilion master with a bitter face.
A full sense of sourness instantly surged in her heart, Xia Mei couldn't bear to look away, she really regretted it now.
I really didn't expect Mu San to be so young...... Unexpectedly...... I really shouldn't have asked.
The old valley lord suddenly straightened up, straightened his face and pleaded to Xia Mei: "Mrs. Xia, the old man still has a reluctant request. ”
"The valley master, but it doesn't hurt to say."
"This kid lost his memory after waking up two years ago, and he has a simple temperament, and the old man let him out of the valley just to see if he can help him get his memory back, so in the future, if there is any emergency situation in this child, please also ask Mrs. Xia to inform the old man as soon as possible."
Xia Mei was stunned, "The valley master is ready to ...... Let Mu San continue to stay here? ”
Since the residual poison on Mu San's body has not been cleared. Now that he has found a way to make the antidote, why do you want to leave Mu San outside?
"Hehe, don't worry about Mrs. Xia, Mu San has half of my strength in his body. The toxicity will not take half a year to set in, and during this time, the old decay will develop an antidote, and if he returns to the valley, the child will be bored again. ”
……
All right. Affectionate people think of themselves as a vacation place! I'm going to be a babysitter myself!
Xia Mei, who always felt that she was being pitted, tried her best to flatten her distorted expression, squeezed out a smile and said: "Xia Mei will definitely live up to the trust of the valley master and will take good care of Mu San." ”
The old valley lord nodded with satisfaction, and finally achieved all the expected goals, and the old valley lord left satisfied, and when he left, he took a few pig's trotters from the kitchen before leaving flutteringly.
Xia Mei: "......"
It's a big loss!
Rubbing the corners of her forehead, the news she heard today was really enough for her to digest for a while.
But also, where there are people, there is right and wrong. How much more about the ancient law, where the law was not sound?
Killing someone and setting it on fire, as long as there is no obvious evidence of guilt, it is not a matter.
In addition, everyone has nothing to do after eating, no mobile phone, no computer, no network, life is boring, and they always have to find something to do.
Otherwise, why is the palace the most insidious and terrifying place? Those concubines in the harem have nothing to do when they are full, what else can they do all day long except to plan for favor and suppress opponents?
Xia Mei remembered. I still can't help but feel sorry.
Fortunately, she is just a widow with a bun, not a boudoir woman from a noble family, because the family needs to marry into the palace to meet those delicate women who are very scheming and handsome but always have a mask on their faces, and fight wits and courage with them.
Luckily, these things are far away from me.
Xia Mei always comforted herself like this. In other words, suggesting to herself, in fact, she is also subconsciously escaping from a fact.
That is, my life is becoming more and more unpeaceful.
Leaving those annoying thoughts behind, Xia Mei took the old valley master to the cellar the next day. After demonstrating the method of making zuò, seeing the very standardized mold in front of him and the ice cubes that filled the mold in an instant, the old valley owner's cloudy eyes were glowing with terrifying essence, and he couldn't stop sighing: "It's really good, it's good!" ”
The white beard on his chin shook with his movements, and at this moment he was like a little old man who saw a toy, and he was quite cute.
Xia Mei wiped her face in the dark, really, she was really getting more and more stunned, where would the bad old man in front of her be cute?!
During the demonstration, Xia Mei intentionally or unintentionally revealed that since she made her own ice, the vegetables in the cellar have been kept fresh and can be stored for a longer time......
Seeing the other party's flash of inspiration, Xia Mei was finally relieved, since she gave the other party the method, don't be violent and ruined, such a big refrigerator, if you use it unreasonably, you will be damned!
The old valley lord looked at Xia Mei's eyes more and more satisfied, and his attitude towards her became more and more enthusiastic and sincere, of course Mu San was happy to see it, although he was a traitor, but now Xia Mei forgave him and had a good relationship with his master, which is really a happy thing.
Others only knew that this person was Mu San's master, but they didn't know that this was the valley master of the famous Medicine King Valley, if they knew, Xia Mei was sure that Liu Quan would never scold the other party when he was stealing pig's trotters.
The old valley owner stayed in Qingshan Town for a few days and left, and before leaving, he gave Xia Mei a bag of large and small bottles, saying that it was a little gadget and kept it for her to play.
One day before, Xia Mei went to pick up Tang Bao from school, and was met by the old valley master who was drunk in a daze, Xia Mei pulled Tang Bao to greet the old valley master, Tang Bao bowed obediently, "Hello old man!" ”
When he bent over, the jade pendant hanging around his neck fell out, and the old valley lord's eyes flashed with surprise, looking at Tang Bao, his eyes couldn't help but be a little more scrutinized.
After looking at it for a long time, he laughed loudly: "Haha, good boy! Anyway, since you have a fate, then the old decay will help you more! ”
As he spoke, the old valley lord stretched out his hand and touched Tang Bao's heavenly spirit cover, in Xia Mei's opinion, the other party just looked at Tang Bao and touched his head, and didn't think much about it, Tang Bao just felt warm, and then he felt clearer.
looked at the old man in front of him ignorantly, but the other party smiled lovingly and said, "Boy, remember to come to the Medicine King Valley to play when you grow up!" ”
After speaking, he staggered away, regardless of the mother and son who were confused behind him.
Xia Mei didn't know anything, and Tang Bao didn't notice anything abnormal, but a few days later, Wu Song, who checked Tang Bao's internal strength, was surprised.
"This kid ...... Could it be that you have met some master? The shackles in the body were broken up all at once......"
Surprised, Wu Song decided to ask Xia Mei tentatively, "Lady, has your son seen any strangers recently?" Like what...... Jianghu people? ”
Xia Mei glanced at him strangely, and then thought, "No...... He's in school all day, and the rest of the time he's at home...... Ah, we met the old valley lord that day! What, what's the problem? ”
Wu Song frowned, "Valley Master? What valley owner? ”
Xia Mei folded the washed clothes in her hand and said casually: "The valley master of the Medicine King Valley! ”
The speaker was unintentional, the listener was intentional, Wu Song was startled, and the bow and arrow he wiped in his hand were almost thrown out.
"What?! Medicine King Valley? ”
Wu Song's surprised voice made Xia Mei raise her head blankly, "Yes, what's wrong?" Husband, do you know you too? ”
Wu Song looked at his mother's natural eyebrows with a strange face, and held it for a long time before he breathed, "Forget it, it's nothing." ”
Xia Mei felt inexplicable, and suddenly realized after a while, "Yes, if the husband used to be a dart game, he should also be from the rivers and lakes!" So you should be familiar with the Medicine King Valley? ”
Wu Song's eyes crossed a trace of affection, and Xia Mei, who was fast in front of him, didn't find any clues, nodded indifferently and said, "Yes, I've heard of it before." ”
"But, lady, how do you know the valley master of the Medicine King Valley? What happened? ”
Xia Mei folded her clothes, looked out the window and Tang Bao ran out to play, thought about it, it should be okay to sue her husband, anyway, everyone is just ordinary people now, these things are to be heard as a story.
So Xia Mei told the old valley master about what he told himself, 1510 to his father-in-law, and after Balabala finished speaking, he asked at the end, "Xianggong, how can you say that these people in the rivers and lakes can be so tossed?" I don't know who that person is......"
Smacking her lips unsatisfied, Xia Mei found that this felt pretty good, no wonder it was a woman's nature to gossip, and sharing this kind of thing with others would really be a pleasure!
Xia Mei, who had been thinking about it for a while, chuckled and turned her face, wanting to ask her husband's opinion on this matter, who knows, she was startled when she saw it.
She had never seen Wu Song's face so ugly. (To be continued.) )
