Chapter 391: Healing and Slander
Yunyan carried the medicine basket on his back to the shady side of the mountain, which was very steep and the ground was covered with thick vines. Wielding her scythe, she kept her head down and searched for herbs. But she didn't notice a green snake, slowly approaching her, the green snake spat out a red snake letter, about to open its venom-filled fangs and bite the legs of the clouds.
Yunyan had already heard the "hiss" sound, and also smelled a trace of fishy smell, very similar to the smell of earth. She had already clenched the scythe, looked at the reflection of the snake's shadow on the scythe, said that it was too late, that was too fast, she took the knife in her hand and calculated the time, and then slashed at the poisonous snake, which fell directly as soon as it became soft.
Yunyan rubbed his eyes, looked at the corpse of the snake on the ground, and then looked at the sickle in his hand, and wondered, "I hit it?" I didn't hit? ”
Suddenly, she caught a sharp glimpse of a round mound near the poisonous snake covered with a handful of medicinal herbs, and she smiled, "God help me!" That's you! "That mound is supposed to be where the snake lives, and the place where the snake lives is dark and damp, and it is easy to have that kind of herb.
She happily rushed over and carefully pulled out the herbs and put them in the basket, and then went down the hill satisfied.
In the forest behind her, a white figure slowly walked out, and the man smiled faintly.
Yun Yan had just come down the mountain, and when he saw Li Daniu rushing towards her, the joy on his face was overflowing, and he said excitedly: "Yun Gongzi! Rizheng woke up! ”
Yunyan smiled faintly, nodded, and went to Li Tong's house with Li Daniu.
Li Zheng saw Yun Yan, folded his hands, and immediately knelt down, reciting the words "Reincarnate Buddha, bless ....." Yun Yan immediately helped him up and said: "Li Zheng doesn't have to be so polite, Yun is just helping him, besides, how can such a righteous person die innocently?" ”
Yunyan asked, "Now that the herbs are ready, Li Zheng will see if you can gather the villagers to come out and take the medicine home to drink." Li Tong nodded and said: "Li Mou has this intention, but it is still daylight at the moment, and the villagers are afraid of light and heat, so they can't come out yet." He added: "When the sun recedes in the evening, I will gather everyone to the village meeting square, and everyone will be there to listen to Yun Gongzi's arrangement." ”
Yunyan sat on the chair, looked at the patches on his clothes, moved in his heart, and asked, "Listen to Da Niu, Li Zheng You reported the epidemic before and was suppressed?" ”
Li Zheng smiled bitterly: "Don't mention it Gongzi Yun." Although the old man is a sesame petty official, he also wants to do something for the villagers in the village. At that time, when the epidemic appeared, the old man immediately reported it, but was suppressed by the deacon's prefect. He shook his head and sighed when he said this: "Xiaomin Village is located in a remote area, the news is closed, as the saying goes, the mountain is high and the emperor is far away, so no one has come to treat it for a long time, and the situation has become more and more serious." In the end, as you can see, more than half of the village has been gone. ”
Yunyan frowned, her worries gradually rose, she couldn't believe that under Zhao Mingsheng's management, this kind of fraud would still occur, or did Zhao Mingsheng know it?
Li Tong looked at Yun Yan's expression a little sad, and comforted: "Yun Gongzi, now that you are here, you are the savior of our Xiaomin Village, everyone will get better after drinking the medicine." Whatever you want, even if you mention it, our village will definitely do its best! ”
Yunyan hurriedly waved his hand and smiled: "No need, I am a chivalrous man." ”
Yunyan and Li Daniu sharpened the medicinal materials for an afternoon, and the two of them carried the divided medicine bags into the basket in the evening and carried them to the square with a flat belt.
There, Li Zheng temporarily built two large tables for Yunyan, and they distributed medicinal herbs to the villagers. Li Zhengdao: "Folks, line up, take your time!" ”
A little boy looked at Yun Yan with a pair of clear eyes, and his mother pushed him next to him and said, "Xiaobao, say thank you Yun Gongzi!" ”
The little boy learned decently: "Thank you, Yun Gongzi." ”
Yunyan touched his head, looking at the grateful people, a little relieved, fortunately she chose to come out to help the villagers of Xiaomin Village, otherwise she would definitely feel guilty for the rest of her life.
After distributing all the medicinal herbs, Yunyan instructed everyone: "Everyone remember not to eat anything in the village again!" All chopsticks must be destroyed! Everyone nodded yes, no one dared to take their lives as child's play anymore.
After a busy day, Yunyan moved a bamboo chair and sat under the patio, and Li Tieniu slept in it, making a deafening snoring sound. She thought about what she was talking to her during the day, and the more she thought about it, the more chilling she felt in her heart. The remote area is still so dark, and the bureaucrats in the capital are afraid that it is too dark to see.
She never wrote a letter to Zhao Mingsheng, nor did she write a letter to the Daoxu Sect. The people of the Daoxu Sect had found Dust Lingzi, and Dust Lingzi also generously told Yun Daoxu that she was helping him in the Medicine Valley, but Zhao Mingsheng never came over.
When she first arrived in the Medicine Valley, she missed it very much and wanted to write a letter, but she didn't know where to start, and over time, she faded into wanting to say something to them.
Although it's not good to think so, sometimes she really hopes that Zhao Mingsheng's people can find her and tell her that Zhao Mingsheng has been looking for her all these years. But she just didn't dare, she knew that she was afraid, afraid of a result that she couldn't accept.
On the second day, Yunyan was going to pack up and go back to the Medicine Valley, but a group of people came to her door with a weak child, with a very bad attitude, it was the woman who thanked her yesterday, she cried: "Yun Gongzi, we have no grievances, why lie to me!" My little treasure is so big! ”
Two or three people in the crowd also said angrily: "Yes, there are also people in my family who have taken your medicine and are not well!" "You keep saying that you don't charge a penny, I think you just want to charge!" "If you want to charge a lot, you can say it directly, why bother doing these small actions!"
Yunyan quietly listened to these people's gossip accusations, and some people even began to push her. She was suddenly a little weak, these villagers regarded her as a quack doctor who cheated on her fees and did whatever it took to get her money, she smiled bitterly.
The woman screamed even more: "What are you laughing at?!" You can laugh like this! "Do you still have a conscience?!"
Li Daniu came back from outside and saw Yunyan surrounded by a group of people, Yunyan's face was pale, and his eyes looked coldly at these ungrateful people. He pushed them away and roared, "Look at you people who are as heartless as wolves! Don't forget who saved you! Or you can still stand?! ”
Those people were a little embarrassed by what they said, they were originally instigated by Widow Li and a few of them.
Yunyan said word by word: "Since you can stand here and perform a very wonderful performance, it also means that my medicine is useful, but this cannot be denied." ”
She leaned closer to Bao'er, checked his eyes and mouth, and said sharply: "But if you don't touch the things in the village as I said at the beginning, there won't be so many people who continue to get the plague!" ”
She sneered: "I guessed right, Widow Li, your child drank the water in the village without your favor!" ”
Widow Li was ridiculed to the point of indecency, she looked at the suspicious eyes of the people around her, and she immediately denied it: "Impossible! Don't talk nonsense! How could I not take good care of Xiao Bao'er! ”
Yunyan pointed to the water stain on Xiaobao's neckline, and his expression was full of mockery. Everyone also looked at it and exclaimed, "It's true! "Widow Li, how can you slander Yun Gongzi indiscriminately!" "Yun Gongzi is really sorry, I misunderstood you!"
Yunyan said lightly: "Da Niu, you can't afford to get a few more packets of medicine for them." ”
Li Da Niu snorted: "The lost boy still helps them like this!" He turned and went into the house, and quickly came out again and threw the medicine bag at the villagers.
Yunyan looked at these illiterate and crowded villagers, she sighed, and the mediocrity was not guilty.
She turned to Li Daniu and said, "If you want to cure the plague in the village, you must start from the source, you find some strong villagers and follow me to the source of the river in the mountains to check it." ”
At this time, he heard that Yunyan was being pestered by the villagers, and Li Zheng Li Tong hurried over, and he couldn't stop apologizing. Yun Yan said: "Village chief, you have to mobilize everyone to kill all the raw birds in the house and burn them with fire, so as to ensure that there will be no follow-up plagues." ”
Yunyan thought for a while and said, "By the way, I also have to tell the villagers to sprinkle the medicine in the well." Because the well is closed, this is the only way to remove viruses from the water. ”
Li Zheng nodded solemnly, even if these are everyone's income from a year's labor, they can only give up, and life is even more important!
Yunyan followed a few young and strong young men up the mountain and found the source of the water under the leadership of Li Daniu. She was completely shocked by the sight in front of her, the young people's legs were a little weak, and a few of them were directly holding on to the trunk of the tree to the side and vomited wildly.
At the water source, there are countless carcasses of livestock lying there, and the area of the wound looks like a wolf or other animal dragged here. The corpse had been there for a while, crawling with white, fat maggots, and some vultures were standing in the water pecking at carrion.
She shouted, "Use a stick to get these bodies out of the water and set them on fire." Those who didn't dare to snub the most honorable doctor in the village quickly got busy with the smell of ninjas.
Yunyan put the pressed herb cake in the bamboo basket, hung a dozen straw baskets with cowhide ropes and put them into the water, and then tied the other end of the leather rope to a small sapling nearby.
The group was busy until the evening to clean up the water at the source.
They descended the hill and saw in the distance a huge bonfire burning in the village square, and the smell of burnt animals was abundant in the air.
Yunyan packed her luggage in the room and pressed the prescription with a bamboo tube on the table. She recalled what Li Zheng said, the above approval came down, and officials from the capital should be sent to deal with the plague, and more than 30 places in Hu Country have been infected with the plague.
She picked up the cloth bag and walked outside, and vaguely saw a person standing at the entrance of the village, the dim light of the lamp, which stretched his shadow extremely long and lonely.
