Chapter 23: Jealous?

The smell of blood mixed with the stench came to the nostrils, and the boar screamed, two long fangs digging deep into the trunk.

The place where Rong Zhi was standing just now was gone.

She crouched on the tree, holding the medicine basket between a few criss-crossing trunks, observing the movement below.

The fangs were so deep that the boar roared and retreated, and with each retreat, the tree, which was several feet high, shook as if it were shaking with the ground.

Rong Zhi looked at the green leaves that kept falling in front of her, and felt that this wild boar was too irritable.

After a closer look, I found that there was a wooden stick with a thickness of three fingers inserted in the hind legs of the wild boar, which was only three inches long, and the color of the wooden stick was similar to the color of the pig's skin.

The wild boar skin is thick, and the wooden stick should be the handle of some sharp weapon, artificially inserted into it.

Could it be that there are others here?

Just as he was thinking, he heard a loud noise, and a crossbow arrow flew out of the grass and shot straight into the boar's eye.

The boar's screams became louder, and its huge body began to sway from side to side, and with a clattering sound, the boar finally pulled its fangs out of the trunk, and at the same time, it also brought up a section of old roots that were intertwined, and the tree fell to the side, crushing the canopy next to it.

The wild boar staggered, could not see the direction clearly, and suddenly fell into a deep pit next to it, and at the same time, a large stone suddenly fell from the sky and smashed into it.

After a few screams that were visibly weak, there was no movement inside.

One of them cleared the grass and walked to the edge of the pit, and let out a sigh.

"What a tough guy, when can I subdue it with my bare hands."

"It's good to be able to catch prey, so why bother with tools, isn't it more dangerous to subdue with your bare hands?"

"Who?"

Liu Hong turned around and was taken aback when he found a woman falling from the tree.

"Miss Lin, why are you here?"

He didn't even notice it just now.

"I'll pick up the medicine."

Rong Zhi pointed to the back basket that was still stuck on the tree.

"I didn't expect to be so unlucky today, I met a wild boar on the mountain for the first time, if it weren't for you, I'm afraid I wouldn't be able to go back."

Liu Hong smiled: "Girl, don't be modest, with your skills just now, even without me, you will definitely be able to get out of trouble." ”

This Orion's heart is still quite small, Rong Zhi pointed to the wild boar in the pit that had lost its breath, and asked, "This wild boar is going to be sold to a restaurant?" ”

"Yes, I am an outsider, and I have no land in the village, so I can only go up to the mountains to hunt some game and barely make a living."

"I see."

Rong Zhi's gaze fell on Liu Hong's very normal, completely handsome face.

"Brother Liu, I see that the people in our village have some signs of poisoning on their faces, why are you okay?"

"Miss Lin, you are really powerful, you can see at a glance that it is poisoned."

Liu Hong's eyes flashed with a hint of admiration, and then explained: "This was two years ago, the big guys went out to be busy during the day as usual, and went back to cook and eat at night, and they suddenly got sick at night, and the doctor in the town said that it might be that there was a problem with the water we drank, and at that time I went into the mountains to hunt, and I stayed in the mountains for several days, and I didn't drink the water in the village, so it was okay." ”

There is a problem with the water you drink.

Rong Zhi thought for a while and said, "Do the villagers drink well water all the time?" ”

"yes."

"That's strange, why is it okay to drink it usually, but it's okay to drink it in those two days, could it be that someone deliberately poisoned it."

"Yes, there are many traffickers in the village, and there were poisons two years ago, and the government can't find out."

"Isn't there a cure for that miracle doctor?"

Liu Hong shook his head.

"The divine doctor said that I have never seen this poison, and I don't know how to solve it for the time being, but the divine doctor also prescribed us a prescription, thanks to that prescription, otherwise I really don't know how many people will die."

"I see."

Chu Tian is known as a miracle doctor, but he can't cure the poison in the villagers, could it be that this poison is very tricky?

"By the way, Miss Lin, you will collect medicine in the future, don't come in this direction, you go in the direction to the east, there are also a lot of medicinal herbs on that hillside, and there are few beasts over there, you still have to pay attention to safety when you go up the mountain with a girl's house."

"Okay, thank you."

"You're welcome." Liu Hong was a little embarrassed.

"Miss Lin, I'm about to go down the mountain, stop by the way, let's go back together."

"Okay."

Liu Hong walked under a tree not far away, pulled a rope from the trunk, and pulled it down twice hard.

It turned out that the other end of the rope was tied to the stone in the pit, and with Liu Hong's movements, the stone slowly rose, and after rising to a certain height, Liu Hong tied the rope to the trunk again.

He jumped into the pit, grabbed the two hooves of the boar with one hand, and carried it to his shoulders with all his might.

The wild boar is not small, but Liu Hong carried it without any effort, and he said to Rong Zhi: "Let's go, Miss Lin." ”

"Okay."

Rong Zhi came to the tree where she was hiding just now, grabbed a tree trunk in one hand, jumped up to the position just now, and took off the medicine basket.

"Miss Lin is very skilled."

Liu Hong couldn't help but sigh again.

"It's really rare for a girl to have such good skills."

On the way, Liu Hong opened the way in front, and Rong Zhi followed behind.

"Learning to defend oneself is not a big skill, light skills are okay, but if you fight with others, you can't do it."

Liu Hong's face was clear, generally people who practice martial arts have their own weaknesses and strengths, if they specialize in one subject, they will inevitably be not very good at other aspects, especially women, who have poor energy, and no matter how much they practice, they can't compare to men.

Thinking like this, he thought that Rong Zhi was only good at light skills, so he didn't ask too much.

"Brother Liu, is this the way down the mountain?"

Rong Zhi saw that this road was completely different from when she went up the mountain, which was a little strange.

"yes." The people in front of them kept moving.

"There are too many weeds up the mountain from the entrance of the village, and now it has just rained, and the mountain road is not easy to walk, so it is better to walk from this side."

Rong Zhi looked around, and sure enough, the weeds here were sparse and not so high, and it was indeed easier to walk than the previous road.

It's better to have someone lead the way!

"Miss Lin, if you want to collect medicine again in the future, you can go up the mountain with me, and you can take care of it on the way."

"Then I'm bothering you."

Rong Zhi did not refuse, although she was used to taking medicine, but after all, it was more convenient to have someone lead the way when she first arrived.

"Miss Lin, have you thought about where to sell this medicinal herb?"

Rong Zhi said: "Jishitang." ”

"Oh...... It's the largest pharmacy in Changping County, but the shopkeeper's temperament is a little weird, girl, if you talk about the price, you have to pay more attention, don't be slaughtered by him. ”

"What's weird?"

These words aroused Rong Zhi's curiosity.

The two of them gradually saw the village, the slope down the hill was a little steep, and the voices of the people in front of them also had a slight wheezing sound.

"The shopkeeper's surname is Zhao, he has opened that pharmacy for many years, at the beginning, he claimed to save people is to accumulate virtue and do good, and he never sells medicine at a high price, and the big guys are willing to go to his pharmacy to buy medicine, but then the price suddenly began to rise, and the price is rising higher and higher, and he doesn't say anything about accumulating virtue and doing good, as if he suddenly changed a person, and people have become particularly picky, if someone in our village picks medicine to sell, the surname Zhao will also deliberately lower the price, which is similar to Ming robbery, so I said that you talk to him about the price, you should pay more attention."

Knock on the door......

She only has a one-sided relationship with that shopkeeper Zhao, and she really doesn't know what kind of character he is.

"But the shopkeeper has a good relationship with Doctor Chu, you go and find Doctor Chu. Maybe you can negotiate a good price. ”

"Okay, thank you for the reminder, Brother Liu."

Rong Zhi still didn't understand, why Chu Tian wanted to let him provide medicinal materials to Jishitang, could it be just because the shopkeeper of Jishitang was too picky, and no one collected medicine for him?

However, all the larger pharmacies have a special place to buy goods, and the villagers provide this point is just better than nothing, and it really depends on this basket of medicinal materials every day, and the pharmacies have long starved to death.

When she arrived in the town, Rong Zhi wanted to see how hard this shopkeeper was.

The two of them had already entered the village, and the outline of the ghost house slowly appeared in the field of vision, but Liu Hong didn't seem to realize it and continued to speak.

"Girl, if you want me to say that you sell to Jishitang is better than sell to other pharmacies, you can give more, I know a pharmacy shop owner is good, and my heart is good, if you don't deal with that surnamed Zhao, I'll help you introduce ......"

"Xiaomo, you're back."

Xia Yunting came to the door at some point and interrupted Liu Hong's words.

"Oh, you're all home, and I'm talking too much before I know it."

He was a little embarrassed.

"It's okay, Brother Liu, thank you for reminding me, if Boss Zhao is really unreliable, I will definitely look for you, then I'll go back first, be careful on the road."

"Hey!"

Liu Hong's tall figure gradually faded away.

Xia Yunting looked at Rong Zhi with a smile on his face, and said in a light tone: "You two are chatting very happily." ”

Even he hadn't noticed it, and his tone was a little questioning.

"He knows a lot, and it doesn't hurt to ask."

Rong Zhi didn't think much about it, and was about to enter the door with the back basket on her back, but her back suddenly loosened.

"I'll hold it for you!"

Xia Yunting took the medicine basket in his hand, watched Rong Zhi go in, did not move, and changed into a look of watching a play.

"Oops!"

As soon as Rong Zhi entered the door, she stepped on a rope, and then her ankles were slathered, and the whole person was suspended in the air, hanging on the door frame and shaking.

"Xia Yunting! What the hell are you doing? ”

"Oh, Xiaomo, why are you so careless, I said it, I will lay some traps in the yard, why did you step on it as soon as you came in?"

"Nonsense! How can anyone set a trap at the gate, and will the thief come in through the gate? ”

"Not really."

Xia Yunting put the medicine basket into the courtyard, came to the door and held his chin, and looked at Rong Zhi with interest.

"Xiaomo, do you think you can see the way up the mountain from this position?"

Rong Zhi took the time to glare at him: "Can you put me down first?" ”

Xia Yunting ignored it and continued to take care of himself.

"I was in this position just now, I wanted to see when you came back, I saw you from afar, and I had such a happy chat with that man, I waited so long."

Rong Zhi suddenly realized something, and her gaze at Xia Yunting changed.

"You're not going to be jealous, are you?"

Xia Yunting's eyes flashed, but he didn't speak.

After speaking, Rong Zhi quickly realized that something was wrong, Xia Yunting didn't really have amnesia, the two of them were just a cooperative relationship, and what kind of vinegar they ate must be just trying to trick her.

Thinking like this, Rong Zhi hooked the rope with one foot and pressed upward, and the rope was already in his hand.

A dagger came out of the cuff, and a knife cut the rope, and in the blink of an eye, the person had landed.

Xia Yunting raised his eyebrows, it was really boring to be cracked by her so quickly.

Suddenly, Xia Yunting stepped back, and Rong Zhi's dagger slashed in front of him, if he didn't take such a step back, I'm afraid he would have broken his appearance by now.

"Murder your husband!"

"Let you play tricks on me!"

She had to teach him a lesson today.

Rong Zhi was about to strike again, but Xia Yunting's face suddenly turned pale, his body shook twice, and he was about to fall.

Rong Zhi was startled, and quickly helped the person up: "What's wrong with you?" ”
