"The medicine is here!"
The people who were busy baking clothes heard the sound and rushed over there.
The crude earthenware bowl contained the concoction and was slowly steaming.
The women in the village sternly scooped out the soup.
Originally, these medicines had to be paid for, but it was Immortal Peng who dispensed the medicine, and Immortal Peng was the one who brewed the medicine. Immortal Peng also said that these were the sky-high asking prices for the villagers, which meant that they could follow the instructions just now. The price asks for the silver money for the caravan's accommodation. Thinking about it this way, it was a little better. After all, if the caravan ran away, it would not make any money.
"Don't squeeze!"
The crowds are surging and the noise is endless.
Mo Li heard something wrong in the house, and went out without even asking about Fengxing Pavilion.
Looking at the situation again, I found that during the time he and Meng Qi were delayed in Doctor Peng's house, hundreds of people came to the Lingyao Village.
The medicine was far from enough, so there was a scramble.
People who do business in the vicinity of Pengze generally know the terrible disease. Even those who don’t know it have heard about it from the hired coachman, so everyone wants to drink the medicine first, lest they will be entangled by hungry ghosts later. .
Lingyao Village used to have caravans and people from neighboring villages who came to seek medical treatment, but they all came in batches, and they basically didn't rush together.
Today is different. The torrential rain flooded many places and caused the water levels of rivers and lakes to rise over the dams. The low-lying area has become a swamp.
People from nearby villages rushed to Lingyao Village by boat in a panic, and people from Lingyao Village actively went out to "rescue" people.
These villagers only know that the more people who come, the more money they can make, but they don't count how many people the houses in the village can accommodate.
Meng Qi saw that the situation was not good, and Luck let out an angry shout.
The crowded crowd suddenly stopped, they felt dizzy, they hugged their heads and looked around in horror.
Doctor Peng was helped out by Han Can and Mo Li. Suddenly seeing so many people, Doctor Han's expression changed.
"Squeeze what?" Han Can shouted skillfully, "How do you drink the medicine, you have to listen to Immortal Peng, how long have you been soaking in the water, and where is the water? Come here and grab the medicine, you drink the wrong one. How to do?"
Ink carp: "… "
It's nonsense, but it's useful
The crowd slowly dispersed. Although some people were not so superstitious about Dr. Peng and really regarded him as an immortal, everyone would die.
"Those who are over forty, those under fifteen, who have been in the water for more than an hour, let Immortal Peng take a look first.
"Don't crowd, it's crowded, and if you go wrong, it will delay things even more!"
Han Can has internal strength, and his voice is even better, and his voice can be heard from far away.
The caravan from outside saw that the people who accompanied Peng Xianren were indeed capable, and gradually became quiet.
Under such circumstances, Dr. Peng naturally didn't have time to diagnose the pulse of these people one by one, so he could only put on an appearance, mainly relying on "look" to separate the thin, frail and older people to one side. After the evil spirits enter the body, their own strength is poor, and the probability of high fever and acute illness is higher.
"I'm afraid I'm going to trouble my nephew today." Doctor Peng said worriedly.
He and Han Can alone cannot cope with the increasing number of people.
Mo Li answered without frowning. Palpation and pulse cutting can be done very quickly for martial arts masters. You don't need to feel it carefully. You only need to see if the person is not right. , to prevent crowds or to separate people.
Some people noticed Mo Li's actions, but they didn't think much about it. First, because Mo Li had changed into clothes, they thought that this was the person next to Peng Xianren, and secondly, the warrior from Lingyao Village thought maliciously that everyone was afraid. Damn, isn't this guy who looks a bit of a backing bow his head and work obediently for Peng Xianren
Mo Li didn't bother to pay attention to them, Meng Qi was different.
As a result, the people of Lingyao Village felt that their luck was surprisingly bad today.
At the beginning, there were still people yelling, and slowly no one dared to speak. Could it be that something was wrong and affected the luck and longevity
Seeing the increasing number of people in the village, they slowly closed their mouths that were grinning at first, and ran back vigilantly to remove the jar for storing the ointment, hid the money, and went to Immortal Peng anxiously. The water bandits had come to Lingyao Village. They were afraid of bandits, so they took out their knives and killed them all at night.
After all, Spirit Medicine Village was the richest village nearby, and the caravans that gathered here also brought goods.
The more the villagers think, the more afraid they become.
Seeing that Doctor Peng was so busy that his feet could not touch the ground, he had to rack his brains to make up words to deal with these villagers, Mo Li sighed deeply.
Han Can quietly closed the door and whispered to Mo Li in the backyard, "Don't worry, there are actually no water bandits nearby, and some of them are refugees who don't know martial arts. You can deal with them with the caravan's own hands. I'm here. The Hengshan faction knows a lot of disciples, as well as some brothers and sisters from the outer sect. Among them, there are guards who say that Fengxing Pavilion is recently killing Peng Ze's water bandits, which is very strange. Fengxing Pavilion only sells news, although it is inside There are a lot of masters, but they don't usually move lightly, which is very unreasonable..."
Meng Qi didn't follow them when they were talking, but they could hear them anyway.
Hearing what Han Can said, both of them thought about it.
Over there, Han Can continued: "It's not that it's bad to suppress the water bandits, it's just that Peng Ze is very big, and it takes less than half a year to "raise" a nest of bandits. There will be people in the rivers and lakes who are so poor that they can't afford to eat, and they will become grass bandits, and it will be useless for anyone but the government."
Even if it is the government, as long as it is not stationed there and does not leave, there will still be accidents.
He can also collude with officials and bandits, but Han Can doesn't know about these things. He has only studied martial arts for ten years at the Hengshan School, and has never dealt with the government.
Mo Li thought about it and asked, "Peng Shibo thinks things are strange?"
"This... The fact that my uncle asked you about Fengxing Pavilion was not for the sake of the water bandits. Although it was strange, it was a good thing for the people around Pengze. The uncle wanted to ask something else. To tell you the truth, we actually The people from Fengxing Pavilion have never dealt with on the surface, but they have a tacit understanding in the dark." Han Can hesitated, as if he didn't know where to start.
It was not the time when Mo Li came out of Zhushan County. He heard and heard along the way and Meng Qi's "demonstration", and Mo Li could grasp the key points of simple things with a little thought.
"Is it the ointment?"
Hearing this, Han Can looked at him in surprise: "How do you know?"
It seems to be true, Mo Li said again: "Fengxing Pavilion sells ointments for the prevention and treatment of evil diseases to Jianghu people?"
Han Can thought Mo Li had bought it, so he nodded quickly and said, "Yes, but the ointment they sell is different from ours. It smells much better because it is mixed with spices, and this ointment actually works on the body, and it dissolves when exposed to water. It has to be slower. On the one hand, it retains the smell and repels the insects, and on the other hand, apply a thick layer to prevent the skin from directly touching the water, so that the invisible insects cannot get in. My uncle said that as long as you understand the cause, it is not difficult to get a similar prescription. The kind sold by the pavilion is more like an ointment... Cough, it looks better. After applying it, it will not look like a layer of mud on the body, which is eye-catching. I heard that there are also caravan managers who dislike our ointment, and those who are afraid of falling into the water The gentleman and literati who want to come and swim in the lake also paint it, in fact, this is a good thing, and my uncle is very happy."
It's not that Dr. Peng doesn't want to improve the ointment formula, but his goal of improvement is how to make it easier to do, the medicinal materials are cheaper, and the poor can't afford the ointment that is too good.
It doesn't matter if it smells bad or looks bad, it can save your life.
"Fengxing Pavilion is well-informed, and it is not surprising to know the truth of the disease." Mo Li said slowly.
"No." Obviously Han Can thought so too.
Fengxing Pavilion sells news, and the business targets are caravans other than Jianghu people. Anyway, they are not poor people. The real "Pengxianren ointment" can't be sold.
"It is said that Fengxing Pavilion is well-informed. I guess they have been to the Spirit Medicine Village more than once."
As soon as Han Can finished speaking, Mo Li Meng Qi's expression was a little weird.
No, at least there may be one in the village right now, the old seventh driver who came with them.
Of course, it is also possible that it is not Fengxing Pavilion, after all, it is just a guess.
"To be honest, what I'm most worried about these years is not the ignorant villagers or the government, but the fear of coming from a Jianghu person who doesn't know anything and wants to be chivalrous and righteous." Han Can said with a toothache. , "Especially the kind of person who comes from a well-known and decent family, who is young and does not know anything, who can only do things and can't speak."
Meng Qi knew it, Mo Li thought of the disciples of the Qingcheng School Jinjian Taoist they met in Qinghu Town, Pingzhou, but they brought a group of people and held a buddy from the cloth village to break into the town to eliminate violence Anliang and eradicate saints. Lotus altar split rudder
I never thought that I couldn't beat the incense master of the holy lotus altar, and as a result, I killed the guy in Buzhuang.
Although in the end these people were all deprived of their martial arts by Meng Qi Mo Li, but if they didn't meet Meng Qi, it is estimated that their own lives were also taken by the incense master of the holy lotus altar.
Doctor Peng is not the holy lotus altar that deceives the people and tries to rebel.
"There have been some earlier. When they heard that I was a disciple of Hengshan Sect, not only were they not afraid, but their eyes glowed, and they shouted that Hengshan sent to clean up the division. I think they either wished Hengshan sent a big clown for their own sect. Having a long face, or he really thinks that by exposing the dirty things of the famous family, he can become famous in the world and become a knight that everyone admires." Han Can finally found someone who could spit bitterness, and he was very angry.
Seeing Mo Li's solemn expression, Han Can quickly waved his hand and continued, "But then I heard that it seems that Fengxing Pavilion has come forward, and there are fewer such people. Occasionally one is also poor in martial arts, so I can handle it. They shouted fiercely. , No one from the Hengshan faction came to me, and there was no trouble in the rivers and lakes, so I still lead the favor of Fengxingge."
This is the tacit understanding that Han Can said.
Fengxing Pavilion must have also inquired about the details of the Spirit Medicine Village. They did not come to expose that Peng Xianren was a liar, nor did they sell the cheap ointments from the Spirit Medicine Village to compete with the Spirit Medicine Village. They also helped solve some problems later. Trouble is already a great favor.
Han Can looked into the house and said in a low voice, "Uncle feels that Fengxing Pavilion has found those doctors who escaped back then, so he can know the truth of the disease. Uncle really wants to know the whereabouts of the doctors who were sentenced to exile by the government and rescue them. Then The two doctors, both surnamed Wei, are cousins, and I don't know what happened to them for so many years. But my uncle and I are considered to be the favors of Fengxing Pavilion, and I owe them to them. In addition, I bought medicinal materials to improve the prescription. I don’t have a lot of money, and I’m a little nameless character in the Hengshan faction. With the outer sect brothers I know who are running darts, it’s great to be able to find someone at the bottom of Fengxing Pavilion to buy news. Uncle is more worried about hearing the bad news, after so many years... "
This is the second time Han Can mentioned "so many years" in a short paragraph.
If the Wei brothers were too seriously injured to adapt to the hardships of exile, they would be gone.
If he was still alive, Doctor Peng would not have the face to see them.
The Wei brothers suffered from this great change, their family was ruined, and they left their hometown to be blamed. They knew that Doctor Peng had done something they most disdain for Shinto. Maybe the anger has passed, and if you think about it carefully, you will know the difficulty of Dr. Peng, but they will be even more uncomfortable. If they do the same, will they be able to save their family members, I am afraid it is—
Living in this world is so hard.
Why rush to block others.
So Dr. Peng was indecisive, plus he really had no money and no way, he became a knot in his heart.
"I see you here today, and I know that Shixiong is a disciple of Qin Shenyi, so my husband... Er, Shixiong's martial arts are also very good, so I wanted to ask." Han Can awkwardly looked at Meng Qi in the distance, Meng Qi's back He started pretending to look at the herbs planted next to him.
Mo Li had no chance to know whether Han Can wanted to say "husband-in-law" or "madam".
All he knew was that the gerbil was very proud.
The back is written.
Although in the eyes of others, it is Zhuo Ran's free and easy appearance.
- No, let's get down to business, why can't your eyes always turn to someone
Mo Li calmed down and said in a low voice, "Okay, I've seen Pavilion Master Fengxing, and I'll be able to help Peng Shibo find out the whereabouts of those two seniors."
