Chapter 447: The Taoist Priest Tricks
The Taoist priest turned Wang Fugui away, and now he is refreshed. It still remembered that Wang Fugui stopped him and then rescued Xue Rou before. He shook the flask and bottle in his hand, and was about to go out to get a pot of wine, but he heard the villagers talking.
"After Fu Zhi recovers from his illness, will he give Miss Xue Rou a hand?"
"It seems that yes, I went up the mountain with Yuan Gongzi to collect medicine just now. Miss Xue also praised him for his medical talent. β
The Taoist priest followed behind the two villagers, heard them whispering about Fuzhi and Yuan Junfeng, and heard that the two of them had gone to the mountain, and suddenly had a plan.
He threw the wine jug and went up the mountain himself, there are several roads on this mountain, but there are only a few that are commonly used, and he goes in the opposite direction of Yuan Junfeng and them, and he will definitely be able to block people.
The Taoist priest was full of bad water, and set up several traps on the mountain, all of which were dug holes, and thorny branches were placed in them, and if they fell, the skin and flesh would have to be scraped open, and blood would definitely be seen.
He clapped his hands, looked at his masterpiece with satisfaction, and boiled the trap with a twig, and spread some weeds on it, so that it looked like the usual road.
And under the tree next to him was the herb that grew, and he crooked his mouth and hid contentedly to the side, waiting to see the two of them get hit.
On the back mountain, Yuan Junfeng and Fuzhi went to the mountain to collect medicine with a backpack on their backs. Fu Zhi is really talented, and sometimes he has more time to see herbs than Yuan Junfeng, and the two of them quickly picked up a memorizer.
Fu Zhi's eyes were sharp, "Yuan Gongzi, look, there seems to be one over there." β
He hurried over, Yuan Junfeng wanted to reach out to pull him, but he didn't. Fu Zhi stepped on the trap designed by the Taoist priest, and Yuan Junfeng accidentally fell down, snorted, and stopped moving.
The Taoist priest grinned and came out from behind the tree, stroked his palms and laughed, "Okay, good! I finally let out a bad breath in my heart! You are here to die! β
He spat hard, picked up a rock and threw it down.
Seeing that there was no movement, he turned around and left contentedly.
Seeing that it was getting late, Yuan Junfeng and Fu Shangshan had not come back to collect medicine, and Xue Rou was also a little worried. But thinking of Yuan Junfeng's martial arts, he had also come back late before, so he pressed his worries a little.
However, soon, some villagers hurriedly ran over, "Miss Xue! Miss Xue! Oh no! Someone is dead again! β
"What?!" Xue Rou was surprised, "Take me to see it." β
Xue Rou hurriedly followed the villagers to see the dead bodies, but found no special symptoms, and saw some new faces in the house.
"What are these?"
"These are all new infections. Miss Xue, what should I do? The villager said worriedly.
Xue Rou looked at a few corpses, and then at the patients who had just contracted the disease, and asked, "Are all the medicines I gave on time?" β
"Eat on time."
"Have they been anywhere else? Or what activities did you do, what did you eat, or something like that? β
"No, everyone stays in the house obediently, nothing out of the ordinary."
It's strange how a good person can suddenly aggravate his condition. Fuzhi took the medicine she gave on time and slowly got better. Yanagi is the same, although it is not completely better, but it has also been relieved. How can these patients get worse and worse?
Xue Rou couldn't find the reason, so she could only go home first.
It was dinner time, and Yanagi was gulping down the meat, and although he was still seriously ill, he was able to eat it. Instead, he came to see Wang Fugui, but he just sat on the side with a bowl of vegetarian porridge, taking small sips, looking like he had no appetite.
Xue Rou went to Liu Sheng first and said, "You are sick now, you should eat less of these greasy things." It's not that you won't be allowed to get it, but you have to pay attention to the amount. β
Liu Sheng nodded, and sure enough, he ate a few pieces of meat less.
She went to look at Wang Fugui, who was difficult to swallow, and wondered in her heart, "You don't look like you like to drink porridge, why do you force yourself to eat it?" Since I'm already sick, I still have to make up for it. You and Liu Sheng have two extremes, one is big fish and big meat, and the other is not good, so you still have to neutralize it. β
Wang Fugui nodded casually, "I just like to drink porridge, Miss Xue, don't worry about me." Drinking porridge should also be healthier, who is like Yanagi, eating so much all day may not be able to get better. Shh β
Liu Sheng heard it, turned his head and wanted to quarrel with him again, Xue Rou hurriedly stopped in front of him, "You two don't quarrel again." Sit here with peace of mind, finish your meal, hurry, and drink the medicine. β
Xue Rou's tone of voice was a little fierce, Liu Sheng and Wang Fugui shrunk their necks, and they didn't dare to say anything more, so they had to look at each other angrily and eat their own food.
After eating, he gave them medicine, and the medicine that Xue Rou prescribed to them was the same, and Wang Fugui seemed to be very cooperative. Hand it to him, and he drank it directly.
Xue Rou joked, "Aren't you afraid that the medicine is poisonous?" Why do you drink so refreshingly? β
Wang Fugui was a little weak-hearted, his eyes dodged, "How could there be a problem with the medicine given by Miss Xue?" I'm willing to believe Miss Xue. β
Xue Rou shook her head and didn't ask him anything more.
Soon, both patients who had taken the medicine fell asleep. Wang Fugui's recovery was obviously faster than Liu Sheng's, although the medicine was also useful for Liu Sheng before, but it was not as obvious as Wang Fugui's. Could it be that the effect of this medicine is really so useful?
Xue Rou was a little puzzled, if it really worked, then why didn't the villagers get better so quickly, and Liu Sheng didn't seem to improve, but Wang Fugui recovered so quickly?
However, she has seen that Wang Fuguide is indeed a tumor, not any other disease.
She shook her head, moved a stool and sat at the door, watching the sunset, the sunset climbed up, and the sky was red, and she never waited for Yuan Junfeng to come back with Fuzhi.
Xue Rou began to panic a little, didn't she just go to pick up a medicine, how could she go out for such a long time. She decided to go to the mountains to find them, so that nothing could happen to her.
Thinking like this, she changed into clothes, brought some self-defense powder and a dagger, and then went up the mountain. There was already a miasma on the mountain, and she could still hear the cries of insects, she groped her way up, probably knowing where Yuan Junfeng would go, after all, it was a tacit understanding cultivated over the years.
"Brother Yuan! Blessings! Where are you?! β
"Brother Yuan!"
"Blessings!"
"Anyone? Can you hear me?! β
Xue Rou shouted a few times, but no one answered, and she heard the crow's cry, which made her heart suddenly feel a little worried.
She walked up and down the hill, but no one answered. When I was more and more worried, I stepped on something. Xue Rou squatted down and picked up the thing to see that it turned out to be a yellow talisman.
How can there be a talisman in this deep mountain and old forest? Xue Rou suddenly remembered a personβthat is, a wild Taoist priest who was eating and living in the village. He didn't know anything about medicine, but it was his job to draw talismans.
Otherwise, how could there be a yellow charm in a good mountain. Xue Rou pursed her lips, feeling a little anxious, could it be that the wild Taoist priest did something?
She no longer looked in the mountains, but hurried down the mountain, about to go to the wild Taoist priest to settle accounts. Xue Rou held the yellow talisman in his hand and knocked on the door of the wild Taoist priest's house.
"Xue Rou? What are you here to do? The Taoist priest opened the door with a malicious smile on his face, "What? Your husband is gone, and you come to me when you're lonely? β
"Phew!" Xue Rou took a sip at him, "I'm here to ask you something." β
She raised the yellow talisman in her hand, "Is this thing yours?" I found it in the mountains, what are you going to do in the mountains? β
The Taoist priest's face changed, "Who said that this is my thing, every Taoist priest in this world can draw talismans, you can't rely on me." β
Xue Rou sneered, kicked his door open, grabbed him by the collar and threw the person in, "Every Taoist priest in the world can draw talismans, but in this village, there is only one Taoist priest." Tell me honestly, have you ever been to the mountains, otherwise I will not be polite to you. β
Seeing that he couldn't hide it anymore, the Taoist priest also changed the corners of his mouth, "What's wrong with me?" β
Xue Rou said anxiously, "Then have you ever seen Brother Yuan and Fuzhi?" β
The Taoist priest touched his beard, "I do know, so what?" I won't tell you their whereabouts unless you ask me. β
Xue Rou looked at him coldly, "Then how can you say it?" β
The Taoist priest fell into the well and said, "Give me your prescription for treating the epidemic, and I will tell you where they are." β
Xue Rou wondered in her heart, "Don't you already have a panacea that can cure diseases and save people?" Why do you keep clinging to my prescription? β
"Don't talk nonsense, you just say whether you give it or not."
The Taoist priest sneered, "You'd better think it through quickly, otherwise they're afraid they won't be able to wait for you to find it." It's going to get dark soon, and it will take you a while to go up and down the mountain, and you may not be able to find it. Who knows if they will stumble and get hurt somewhere. β
Xue Rou was anxious, knowing that he would not say anything if he didn't agree to the conditions of the Taoist priest, so he could only reluctantly agree, "Now I promise you and give you the recipe, but you also have to promise me a condition, so it's fair." β
When the Taoist priest heard her promise, he was secretly happy. But when she heard that she still had the conditions, her face changed, and she said impatiently, "What else do you want, say hurry up." β
Xue Rou said, "The villagers are innocent, I don't know why you want this prescription." But I hope that after you get the prescription, you can continue to help them. Otherwise, the epidemic will spread from one to the next, and this village will be too dangerous. β
The Taoist priest sneered, "They treat you so well, are you willing to continue to help them?" β
Xue Rou shook her head, "They are unkind, but I can't be unjust." β
The Taoist priest secretly scolded her for being stupid in his heart, but he didn't show anything on the surface, and he agreed. took a pen and paper to ask Xue Rou to write down the prescription, and Xue Rou saw that he agreed, so she also fulfilled her promise and wrote the prescription to him.
As she lowered her head to write, she pinned her hair behind her ear, revealing a fair patch of skin behind her ear. The Taoist priest saw that she had a fair complexion and rosy cheeks, and knew that Yuan Junfeng was not there now, and his lust rose again.
