"What are you thinking about Shang Jun?" Ruan Tingyu followed Shang Jun's line of sight, but there was nothing but the billowing smoke.
Leaning on the stone wall behind him, Shang Jun replied worriedly: "I'm thinking about the source of this epidemic? This place has been isolated, and so many people continue to be sent in every day. If this source is not found, even if there is a green Hanging grass may not necessarily solve this epidemic.”
"General plagues mostly break out after wars, floods, land subsidences and other disasters. No one is buried in the corpse, and it is easy to breed poisonous qi and evil wind. People can get sick by breathing and drinking water, but in recent months, there has been no war at Linfeng Pass. , there is no disaster, why is there an epidemic?" Ruan Tingyu sighed, she and her brother were also at a loss for this sudden epidemic.
Ruan Tingyu finished speaking, and Shang Jun suddenly jumped off the boulder and walked towards the path behind the village. Ruan Tingyu stared blankly at his hurried back, and asked inexplicably, "Mr. Shang, where are you going?"
"Go and see the water source of Huqiu Village." If the source of the epidemic can be found, the epidemic will end as soon as possible. If it is true that there is a problem with the water source, as Ruan Tingyu said, the scope of the epidemic will not be limited to Linfeng. Close it.
"I'll go with you." Ruan Tingyu ran over quickly and followed behind Shang Jun.
The two walked along the path, and in less than a stick of incense, they reached the river closest to Huqiu Village. The river is neither fast nor wide, but the water is very clear. Under the sunlight, the water is sparkling. The river meanders down from the upper reaches. On both sides of the river, there are many livestock that the villagers have no time to take care of, drinking water. A peaceful and vibrant scene.
Ruan Tingyu approached the river, carefully observed the water flow, and could faintly see many fish swimming leisurely from the upstream. "The river is very clear, it doesn't look like it's been polluted."
Shang Jun nodded, squinted slightly to look at the meanders of the river ahead, and said, "Go upstream and take a look."
Along the small river, they walked all the way, observing the river water all the way, the water pressure was getting bigger and bigger, Ruan Tingyu whispered: "The next step is the Yue River, and there are soldiers guarding it. It seems that there is no problem with the water source, so why?"
Shang Jun stopped at the mouth of the river. There were no animals to drink water here, and no small fish could be seen, but he knew that the water here was also clean, because the short grass by the river was growing well and lush. Looking at the gradually westward sun, it was almost two hours after they came out. Shang Jun said helplessly: "It's getting late, let's go back."
"good."
Shang Jun lowered his eyebrows and thought, walking slowly on the river bank, the setting sun shone on his body, the face that was full of melancholy was mixed in a faint halo, melancholy and confusing. Ruan Tingyu looked at Shang Jun, bit her lip lightly, and asked softly, "Is there only one person in Shang Jun's family? If you come alone like this, the family will be worried."
Shang Jun came back to his senses and smiled perfunctorily: "The family is all settled, I will take care of myself, there is nothing to worry about."
Ruan Tingyu lowered her head in disappointment. She didn't know what kind of answer she wanted to hear. The path on the riverbank was wet and muddy. Ruan Tingyu was in a trance, and her feet slipped. Fortunately, Shang Jun held her arm and said, "It's getting dark, be careful."
"Oh." He was thinking about something just now. Ruan Tingyu bowed her head embarrassedly, and saw Shang Jun supporting her fair and slender hand, she didn't understand what was going on, and her face was red again.
Shang Jun felt that Ruan Tingyu was a little different today, noticed the abnormal blush on her face, and suddenly realized that he quickly retracted his hand, stepped forward, and no longer walked with Ruan Tingyu.
Speechless all the way, the two returned to the village one after the other.
When she came into the village, she saw the magpie hurriedly looking for something like a headless fly. When she saw Ruan Tingyu, she ran over immediately and complained, "Miss, you are back, can you tell the magpie next time you go out? Suddenly, it disappeared, scaring people to death."
Ruan Tingyu shook her head with a light smile, and asked, "Okay, I'm fine, what are you doing in such a hurry?" When will her troublesome problems be corrected.
Magpie pouted, pointed at Shang Jun, and said, "The Xiao family has come, I'm not in a hurry to find him."
"Where?" Shang Jun was overjoyed.
"In the account."
Magpie just finished speaking, Shang Jun dodged and ran over quickly.
When he opened the tent, he saw a man in a dark purple flowing gown with his back turned to him, talking to Ruan Tingfeng. When he saw the appearance of the person coming, Shang Jun couldn't help but say, "Why are you?"
"It's me." Xiao Zongqing turned around and looked into the eyes of Shang Jun, inexplicably deep, and said, "Come out, I have something to tell you."
When he saw Xiao Zongqing, Shang Jun was shocked. He was fixing a book for him, looking for green hanging grass, but he never thought that he would come to Fengguan. Following Xiao Zongqing out of the tent, Shang Jun was surprised and annoyed and asked: "It's very dangerous here, how could your brothers agree to let you come?" Year-old boy in danger!
Standing still in the open space, Xiao Zongqing turned around abruptly and replied stubbornly: "No one wants to stop what I want to do."
Shang Jun reluctantly looked at the boy who was as tall as him, but still had such a childish temperament. He didn't want to criticize him again, and advised: "San'er, don't be self-willed, you will die here at any time, leave quickly, After being locked up in Linfeng for a period of time, I will return to the Xiao family immediately if I am fine." I hope San'er did not contract the disease because of this, otherwise he will really feel sorry for the Xiao family.
Xiao Zongqing lowered his head and thought for a while, then raised his head, stared at Shang Jun, and asked, "Are you going?"
Shang Jun shook his head with a wry smile, "I can't go."
The word "can't go" ignited Xiao Zongqing's anger over the past few days. He shouted: "Why? Since you will die at any time, what are you doing here? You are not a fairy, and they are not your responsibility. I can hang the green hanging. Grass for them, but you have to leave with me." After receiving the letter from Shang Jun, he almost died of anger. He is not a doctor, nor an official, so what fun.
If it wasn't for the fear that Shang Jun would contract the disease here, he would not have brought the green hanging grass to Fengguan.
Shang Jun replied: "I have been staying for several days, and now I may bring the disease out when I go out. I want to cure this disease, not because I think I am an immortal, but the person I want to protect. She is in Linfeng Pass. The epidemic is not good for one day, and she is in danger one day." Xiao'er is everything to him, as long as it is something that harms her, he will eliminate it.
she? Which she? Is it important to him? Xiao Zongqing suddenly felt a displeasure that he couldn't explain.
Shang Jun looked at the sky, the sky was already dark, and the longer he stayed here, the more dangerous it would be, he lightly pushed Xiao Zongqing's shoulder and said, "Okay, don't talk too much, give me the green hanging grass, and you can go. "
Originally displeased, but now Shang Jun is in a hurry to drive him away, Xiao Zongqing pushes Shang Jun's hand irritably, humming: "If you don't go, I won't go. The green hanging grass is a treasure of my Xiao family. , if you don't let me stay, I won't hand it over."
"You!" Shang Jun was angry. That's all, if San'er refuses to hand over the green hanging grass, he will think of other ways, and he must not let him have three advantages and two disadvantages.
Shang Jun was about to persuade him to leave, Xiao Zongqing seemed to have already thought of what he would say, and immediately pointed to the tent and shouted: "If you must drive me out, I will let myself catch the disease, so that you can You can't drive me away."
"San'er!" Shang Jun was furious, but he didn't know what else to say. He finally understood that it wasn't that Xiao Zongqing's brother didn't want to control him, it was because he couldn't control him at all.
Both of them were angry and refused to give in to each other. Shang Jun almost wanted to carry him and throw him out of Huqiu Village, but Shang Jun didn't do it in the end. He knew that if he did, this kid would definitely not do it. He will make himself sick as he said. Too lazy to look at him again, Shang Jun turned around and went back to the tent.
Just as Shang Jun walked in, Ruan Tingfeng immediately greeted him and asked, "Shang Jun, how is it?" He did not expect that the young master of the Xiao family would come, and that person was coming for Shang Jun. If you don't see him, don't take medicine. How deep friendship does it take to be willing to take such a big risk.
Shang Jun was silent, and Xiao Zongqing, who followed him in, replied coldly: "I can give you some green hanging grass first, you can try it, if your prescription is really effective, I will take out the rest. ." In this way, his family's treasure will not be wasted, and Shang Jun will not drive him away.
Ruan Tingfeng was overjoyed, "It's great." This way, the recipe can be completed, and the epidemic may be brought under control, and the other people in the tent cheered.
Xiao Zongqing ignored these people and said to Lin Yi behind him, "Lin Yi, bring it here."
"Yes." Lin Yi took out a small rectangular box from his bag and handed it to Xiao Zongqing.
Xiao Zongqing opened the box, and there was a green, slender and soft plant lying inside. It looked like a water plant, but it was fresher than a water plant, and the tips of the leaves seemed to drip water. If it was brought from Cang Yue, it would have been at least ten days and eight days, but the grass looked like it was newly picked.
Ruan Tingyu asked in surprise: "This... is the green hanging grass?"
Ruan Tingfeng stared at the green constricted grass and sighed, "It's it, that's right." According to the book, the green constricted grass is green and bright in color, and it can still maintain its appearance when it comes out of water for several years. Visible.
The crowd surrounded the green hanging grass, and there was a lot of discussion. Xiao Zongqing looked left and right, but there was no sign of Shang Jun. He stuffed the green hanging grass that everyone admired into Ruan Tingfeng's hand and hurried out. .
Without much effort, Xiao Zongqing found Shang Jun on the boulder behind the village. He put his hands behind his head, lay on the boulder, closed his eyes, expressionless, and there was a rare aura of indifference all over his body. Xiao Zongqing walked over, stood beside the boulder, and asked softly, "Mr. Shang, are you angry?"
Shang Jun still refused to open his eyes, and after a long time he replied coldly: "You don't cherish your own life, why am I angry."
After listening to Shang Jun's words, Xiao Zongqing smirked instead, "You are really angry." This shows that Shang Jun is still very concerned about his life and death.
Shang Jun didn't bother to pay attention to him, he turned sideways, but saw a little girl of eight or nine years old, carrying a small bucket, swaying over here.
Shang Jun jumped off the boulder, walked to the child, leaned down, and asked gently, "Son, what are you doing?"
The girl pointed to the bucket and replied softly, "Mother wants to drink water, I'll fetch her water." There was no one else at home, and the mother said that both father and brother had gone far and far, and only she could Take care of my mother.
Shang Jun patted the child's head lovingly, took her bucket, and said with a smile: "The river is far from here, you wait, my brother will help you fight." When the bucket was empty, she picked it up and shook it three times. Not to mention filled with water, although the river is not far from here, it is not easy for a child.
The little girl pulled Shang Jun's sleeve and said, "You don't have to go to the river, we all drink well water."
Shang Jun asked, "Where is the well?"
Pointing to the well not far ahead, the little girl replied: "There are three in the village, one in front, one at the entrance of the village, and one at the back of the village."
Shang Jun frowned slightly and asked, "Do you all drink well water? What about the river water?"
"River water is used to feed animals and wash clothes. Well water is sweet and sweet, and everyone likes to drink well water." The little girl answered honestly one by one. This brother is so gentle, and like her brother, treats her well.
They drink well water, is there a problem with the well water? ? Shang Jun picked up the little girl and put it on the boulder, and said softly, "You wait here, my brother will help you fight."
Picking up the bucket, Shang Jun flew towards the river. Xiao Zongqing shouted from behind, "Mr. Shang, wait for me, I'll go too."
Unfortunately, Shang Jun did not stop. He rushed to the river and quickly filled a bucket of river water for the little girl, returned to the boulder, and then held the little girl in his arms and helped her carry the water home. Xiao Zongqing followed closely.
"Shangjun, don't be angry, I promise I will be very careful and won't let myself get sick, you believe me."
"Shangjun, with the green hanging grass, the epidemic will be over soon, don't be too nervous."
"Shang Jun, you owed me a drink last time. Let's go have a drink together when the epidemic is over."
"Shangjun, my second brother said that your tea and silk are very good, and I will do business with you in the future."
"Shangjun."
