Chapter Twenty-Nine: The Night Lady
The setting sun reflected the distant sky, the cold wind blew, and the river "rattle". On the bank of the Xiang River, two large water tanks are set on a stone-made stove, and the firewood is "crackling" and burning.
Chu Xiaofeng and the poison doctor stood not far away, looking at the steaming water tank, their faces were solemn, they had been busy all day, and they never figured out how the toxin was transmitted, why the two of them had been fine, but Yu Wenlang was poisoned.
"I always thought that this time the poison was spread by water or food, but I didn't expect it to spread like a plague. But you and I are all right, it's really strange. The poison doctor twisted his beard and whispered. This made him very puzzled, why he could not be afraid of such a strange poison.
"Could it be the dragon Gu soup you gave me before, if we have something in common, there is only this dragon Gu soup, I believe you should have tasted it during the configuration process." Chu Xiaofeng said lightly.
"That's right! I didn't think it was possible. The poison doctor slapped his head and laughed. Then his expression instantly dimmed, he had already developed this dragon Gu soup, because of that incident, he stopped the research on this decoction, if it was really the antidote to this heavenly poison, then his wife, children and villagers died too unjustly, could it be that there is a certain number in the dark.
"We're going to give it a try, anyway." Chu Xiaofeng raised his head and looked at the sparse cold stars in the sky, his face became even more solemn. Who was so mad that he actually poisoned hundreds of thousands of people in Tanglin County. And for what purpose is he?
"I'll go find the recipe for the Dragon Gu Soup." The poison doctor nodded, turned and returned to the house. If the Dragon Gu Soup developed by himself can really cure the Huitian Poison, then he will have no regrets in this life.
On the bank of the Xiang River, the cold wind was howling, the withered grass was swaying, Chu Xiaofeng looked at the sky and sighed, his face was full of clouds, as if he was about to drip water. Just now, the poison doctor actually told him that Xiao Xiao was missing last night, which made Chu Xiaofeng almost strangle him to death, and that was his only hope of returning to Beijing.
"Let's settle the plague first." Chu Xiaofeng muttered to himself in a low voice. I hope that Xiao Huwei Jiren has his own natural appearance, so that he can find him smoothly, and I don't know what happened to my father's side, I hope my father is all well.
"Master, we seem to be lacking a few medicinal herbs." The poison doctor said as he flipped through a worn-out manuscript.
"You can list what is missing, and I'll figure it out." Chu Xiaofeng said lightly, now he can only hope that the Dragon Gu Soup can play a miraculous effect.
Fushou gambling house, the candle lights are tall, and the voices are boiling. The night made the gamblers' nerves even more excited, and they shouted happily one by one, looking forward to the next opening victory.
On the second floor, in an elegant room, Guo Qingzheng looked at the gorgeous lampstand on the table boredly, his eyes were scattered, and he didn't know where his mind had gone.
"Damn ugly monster, why hasn't he come back yet, is it possible that he won't, Daddy often says, good people don't live long, and disasters live for thousands of years. How could someone like him die so easily! Guo Qingzheng suddenly held the tea bowl in his hand tightly, poured it violently, and said in a low voice. She had already sent all the eight adults of Fushou Gambling House out to look for Chu Xiaofeng, and it had been almost two days, and there was still no news of him, Guo Qingzheng felt abnormal troubles and worries in his heart for the first time, which had never happened before.
"Miss, there is a person outside who calls himself Xiao Feng who asks to see you." Just when Guo Qingzheng was upset, suddenly a maid whispered outside the door.
"Let him go! The old lady didn't have time to see him! Guo Qingzheng shouted without thinking. Today she is worried about it, how can she have time to meet some inconsequential people!
"Xiao Feng! Wait, let him in. Guo Qingzheng just reacted and hurriedly shouted. She got up and walked to the dresser, took a closer look at the bronze mirror, combed her hair, and then walked briskly towards the parlor.
In the living room, Chu Xiaofeng was drinking water with a tea bowl, and he was tired after a busy day. Drinking the fragrant high-quality tea, Chu Xiaofeng's heart fluttered, as if he had returned to the palace with fine clothes and food.
"Ugly! You're back! Before Guo Qingzheng arrived, he shouted loudly. The words were full of joy and joy, which made Chu Xiaofeng frown, shouldn't this fierce girl be looking forward to her death? When did you care so much about yourself? Could it be that this prince is handsome and chic, which impressed her.
"Guo is in charge, don't come unharmed." Chu Xiaofeng hurriedly stood up and saluted Guo Qingzheng, who had just entered the door.
"Humph! Do you know how worried I am! Why are you only coming back now! Guo Qingzheng's face suddenly sank, and he shouted.
"Uh" Chu Xiaofeng was a little dumbfounded, why is this fierce girl so fickle, she was full of joy just now, but now she has become a cold-faced judge again. Shaking his head with a wry smile, Chu Xiaofeng smiled and said, "I'm tired of Guo Dang's family, isn't Xiao returning safely?" ”
"Tell me how you got back." Guo Qingzheng smiled abruptly, sat opposite Chu Xiaofeng, and asked eagerly. Her series of abnormal actions made Chu Xiaofeng cry and laugh. Picking up the teacup and taking a sip of tea, Chu Xiaofeng told Guo Qingzheng about his experience.
"Well played! Such a bully who oppresses the good people, it is really cheap for him to die! If the old lady is here, he will regret coming to this world! After hearing that Chu Xiaofeng said about Longjing Village, Guo Qingzheng was indignant, waving his small fists, swinging up and down, and he hated to be at the scene in person.
"Skynet is magnificent, negligent but not leaky. Such wicked people, seeing one and exclusive, are very happy! Chu Xiaofeng saw Guo Qingzheng revealing a rare daughter, his heart moved, and he hurriedly looked away, and said lightly. It turns out that this fierce girl also has such charm, which is really life-threatening.
"By the way, how are your two friends doing?" Guo Qingzheng asked softly. The plague in Tanglin County, she had heard of it for a long time, but she didn't expect that someone would dare to poison hundreds of thousands of people, so how could his heart be vicious!
"The toxins in their bodies are only temporarily contained." Chu Xiaofeng sighed. He studied with the poison doctor for a day, one used decoction to treat internally, and the other used silver needles to clear the pulse, but there was still no improvement.
"Get out of here!" Guo Qingzheng suddenly grabbed Chu Xiaofeng's arm and walked out. She suddenly remembered that when the plague broke out, all the doctors in Qinghe Town were forcibly requisitioned to Tanglin County, which was a dead end!
"Hey, girl, what's wrong with you?" Seeing Guo Qingzheng looking so nervous, Chu Xiaofeng asked with some puzzlement.
"You ugly bastard, haven't you noticed that there is no doctor in Qinghe Town?" Guo Qingzheng said angrily, and continued to pull him out.
"I've paid attention to this, that's why I'm practicing medicine here." Chu Xiaofeng asked with some puzzlement. He also saw that the poison doctor was practicing medicine on the bank of the Xianghe River that day, and the flow of people was like a dragon, so he decided to make money for medical treatment.
"That's because those doctors were all requisitioned to Tanglin County to solve the epidemic, which is a dead end. Now, if you offend Uncle Xu, he may declare a personal vendetta and drag you to death! Guo Qingzheng said anxiously. As the daughter of the Marquis of Zhenshan, her mind is much higher than that of ordinary people, and she instantly thought of a terrible consequence. The ugly eight monsters cured Uncle Long of strange diseases, and he respected him as a miracle doctor, if the ugly eight monsters and Uncle Xu had a good relationship, it would be fine, but now, they have been married, and I am afraid that they will not die.
"Haha, what should I do? You Guo is in charge of Qinghe Town, don't you say one or the other, you don't say a word. Chu Xiaofeng gently broke away from Guo Qingzheng's hand, turned around and sat on the chair, and laughed.
"Hey! You ugly bastard, the yamen of the state capital has a notice from the imperial court, and even if the old lady is barbaric, she will not dare to fight against the imperial court! Guo Qingzheng glanced at Chu Xiaofeng angrily and said softly.
"Hehe, that's even better, I've torn it in two and thrown it away." Chu Xiaofeng picked up the tea bowl, took a sip of tea, and said lightly.
"Tear it, tear it, what! You tore the proclamation off! Guo Qingzheng saw that Chu Xiaofeng looked like he didn't know whether he was alive or dead, and he laughed in his heart and replied casually. Suddenly, she suddenly cried out, "Oh my God! Is this ugly monster crazy, how dare he tear up the proclamation of the court! This is a great crime of treason!
"When I came back, the officers and soldiers of the state government blocked my way and talked nonsense. The leading kid is even more hateful, you don't see his swaggering appearance, it's just a pug. In the end, I couldn't bear it anymore, and I taught him a lesson, and tore up the proclamation. Chu Xiaofeng said angrily. And Guo Qingzheng in front of him is already stupid, my God, what kind of person is this! You did the first job as a hooligan, and you didn't even pay attention to the court, and the old lady opened her eyes today.
"Well, you came to me, you won't catch up with me, right?" Guo Qingzheng held his forehead with his hands and sat weakly on the chair. Now, he has completely subdued Chu Xiaofeng.
"Hey Guo is wise, Xiao came this time, one is to visit the beautiful Guo Dangjia. The second is to ask Guo to do something. Chu Xiaofeng said with a smile. Leaned in front of Guo Qingzheng and said in a low voice.
"What's the matter, tell me." Guo Qingzheng said softly. Seeing Chu Xiaofeng coming to her, the two of them were so close, a flush flashed on her face, but there was a very comfortable feeling in her heart.
"I have already been to the Long Mansion just now, and I borrowed 10,000 taels of silver from the Long Yuan." Chu Xiaofeng sighed, this treatment of the plague was originally a matter for the imperial court, but now he has to pay for it himself.
"Huh? What are you borrowing so much money for! Guo Qingzheng raised his eyebrows and asked lightly. Ten thousand taels of silver, it is a huge amount of money placed there.
"I've found a cure for the plague, I just need validation and herbs. The money was borrowed for the purpose of buying medicinal herbs. Chu Xiaofeng's face froze, and he said in a deep voice.
"I see, let's say, how can I help?" When Guo Qingzheng heard this, he was shocked, what is the origin of this ugly monster, he actually found a way to cure the plague, this person is by no means an ordinary gangster, when his father comes back, he must let him take a good look at this ugly monster.
"I'm short of people right now." Chu Xiaofeng stared at Guo Qingzheng and said. He saw that the people around Guo Qingzheng were all strong and strong, and they were all good at work, so he came to borrow someone. How big Tanglin County is, how much dragon Gu soup needs to be made to get rid of the plague, Chu Xiaofeng didn't know the bottom in his heart, so he came to Guo Qingzheng for help.
"No problem, before dawn, I'll get you five hundred men." Guo Qingzheng said softly. A resolute look flashed in his eyes, if he could really resolve the epidemic, what would he be able to do with some manpower.
"Xiao is not talented, on behalf of all the people of Tanglin County, thank you for the generosity of Guo Dangjia!" Chu Xiaofeng hurriedly took two steps back and saluted solemnly. Originally, he planned to borrow more than a dozen people for use, but he didn't expect Guo Qingzheng to promise 500 people, which made Chu Xiaofeng's heart warm, but he didn't expect that a woman in her would understand righteousness.
