Qian Jiujiu took the herbs and checked them. When she found that they were fine, she said, "Then take me to the place where the herbs are boiled. I will teach you how to boil the herbs. My husband, you stay here and watch him. If anything happens, you can call me."
Mu Yexiao nodded, then stood beside the Seventh Young Master's bed. Yan Feng, who was standing beside him, did not leave either. He sat at the table and kept staring at Mu Yexiao.
Lin Xing'er brought Qian Jiujiu to the place where the medicine was boiled: "The place is a bit small, there is no other way, we will live here temporarily, just make do with it."
Qian Jiujiu pretended to be curious and asked, "Why do you live in the mountains and get attacked by wild animals?"
Lin Xing'er sighed and did not hide it: "It was because of a natural disaster. Inexplicably, a group of locusts flew in from nowhere, covering the sky and the sun. In an instant, all the food in the town was eaten up."
Qian Jiujiu grasped a key point: "It appeared suddenly? Was there no sign? The food was all eaten, why is there nothing wrong with the mountain?"
Lin Xing'er shook her head: "I don't know. The locusts went straight into the mountains and disappeared without a trace, just like when they came. We have no choice but to move to the mountains and see if we can find something to eat."
After listening to what Lin Xing'er said, Qian Jiujiu felt that something was wrong. Even if there was no food, they could come to the mountains to find it. There was no need to move everyone to the mountains.
But since she was already here, there was no need to rush and she could just ask slowly. If she asked too much right away, it would easily make others defensive.
After decocting the medicine, Lin Xing'er followed Qian Jiujiu with the medicine and walked towards the Seventh Young Master's room.
When he entered, he saw two people staring at each other in the room. Qian Jiujiu raised his eyebrows and said, "Husband, is there any problem here?"
Mu Yexiao shook his head: "No problem. It's just that this person's eyes are not very kind."
Lin Xing'er was somewhat helpless: "Yan Feng, why are you still like this? They are the saviors of Brother Qi, you should be more polite."
Yan Feng still grumbled a little unconvinced: "Who knows why these two people would pass by here by such a coincidence, what is their purpose."
Lin Xing'er rolled her eyes. "What purpose could that be? Is there anything about us that could be of interest to others? Besides, do you really not know why we were besieged by wolves?"
Yan Feng suddenly looked up at Lin Xing'er: "What do you mean by that?"
Lin Xing'er was also angry and snorted, "I don't want to quarrel with you, get out. You are not allowed to stay in Brother Seven's room."
Putting the medicine aside, he was about to start to chase them away. Yan Feng was not willing to be chased away like this, and looked at Lin Xing'er: "Tell me clearly, do you know something that you are not telling me?"
"I don't have anything to say to you. I'll tell you after Brother Seven wakes up. Now go and do your own thing."
After pushing the person out, Lin Xing'er turned around and saw Qian Jiujiu and Mu Yexiao staring at her. She felt a little embarrassed for a moment: "Well, I'll feed the medicine to Brother Qi."
Just at this moment, the Seventh Young Master, who was lying on the bed, also woke up. When he saw the appearance of Mu Yexiao and Qian Jiujiu clearly, his eyes widened instantly, as if he had seen something very exciting.
Lin Xing'er was trembling all over, and was frightened by the Seventh Young Master's appearance: "Seventh Brother, what's wrong with you? Don't scare me, doctor, please take a look."
Doctor? Lin Xing'er suddenly remembered that she had never asked these two what to call them in such a long time. Qian Jiujiu was also curious about why this person was so excited when he saw them.
Before she could go forward, she was stopped by the Seventh Young Master: "No, Xing'er, go out first. I have something to say to them. You go and guard the door."
Lin Xing'er trusted the Seventh Young Master very much and nodded obediently: "Okay, then I'll go to the door to guard it for you and prevent anyone from eavesdropping."
After Lin Xing'er left, the Seventh Young Master struggled to sit up, but was stopped by Qian Jiujiu: "I think you'd better not get up, unless you don't want to live anymore."
The Seventh Young Master flashed a trace of embarrassment, and then said: "Gu Qi greets the prince and the princess."
Qian Jiujiu and Mu Yexiao looked at each other. They didn't expect that this guy actually knew them. Mu Yexiao asked with some doubt: "Do you know us?"
Gu Qi nodded: "Yes, I am from the Gu family. When I was in the Prime Minister's Mansion before, I had the opportunity to meet the prince and princess. It's just that I was inconspicuous at that time, so it's normal that the prince and princess don't remember me."
Have you met him? Qian Jiujiu really couldn't remember. But Mu Yexiao did remember one thing: "Are you the kid who fell from the wall in the Prime Minister's Residence?"
Gu Qi's face flushed: "I didn't expect the prince still remembered it."
That was several years ago. The child is now fifteen or sixteen years old. Mu Yexiao took a closer look and found that the face was indeed the same as before.
"You've grown up to be a lot more handsome. Why are you here?"
Gu Qi? Qian Jiujiu thought about it carefully, but still couldn't remember. But Rabbit reminded him in the space: "A few years ago, when you met Xiaoman, the Gu family also went to pay a visit. At that time, Gu Qi climbed up the wall to peek at Mu Yexiao, but he accidentally fell in."
No wonder, this incident happened in the outer courtyard, Qian Jiujiu was in the inner courtyard, it was normal that he didn't know. Rabbit said so, that is, this guy, is really Gu Qi of the Gu family.
The Gu family is the imperial merchant family, the family that collects grain. This time they entered the city, they still used the name of the Gu family! Speaking of which, Qian Jiujiu is indeed the eldest daughter of the Gu family. After all, they are still a family.
Gu Qi felt a little embarrassed. His real name was Gu Qiyuan, and he was a collateral branch descendant of the Gu family. Since he was the first in his generation, he was called Gu Qi.
"Well, I thought that the country is peaceful and the people are safe, so I came out to have fun. I also wanted to see where there is good food and bring some back. Who would have thought that I didn't get any food this time and almost lost my life here."
It’s true. If he hadn’t met Qian Jiujiu and Mu Yexiao this time, he would have really lost his life.
Qian Jiujiu and Mu Yexiao looked at each other and said, "What's going on here? Why don't you live in the town at the foot of the mountain, but come to the mountain instead?"
Gu Qi knew that the prince and princess were out for fun, so when they descended from the sky on a big bird, he did not doubt it at all. Instead, he slowly told them what happened in Tianfeng Town.
"When I arrived at Tianfeng Town, there was no insect plague yet! I met Xing'er's father, Uncle Lin, the county magistrate of Tianfeng Town, on the way. Uncle Lin is a good official and treated me very warmly. He also announced to the public that I was his nephew. So I stayed in Tianfeng Town and planned to play for a while.
By the way, let's take a look at the grain harvest and quality here. If possible, we can also collect it. You also know that the descendants of our Gu family like to monitor the grain harvest and quality wherever they go. It has been deeply rooted in their bones.
There was nothing I could do. Growing up in that environment, it was my instinct. But who would have thought that after I had been there for only a few days, when the crops were about to be harvested, a large group of locusts suddenly rushed out and ate up all the food.
A year's harvest, nothing. The people were having a hard time. Uncle Lin went to Shanzhou City as soon as possible, wanting to find Zheng Yiju to report the situation here. But who knew that bastard would agree to report it.
But there was no report at all. After waiting for a while, there was no news. When Uncle Lin went there again, he found that Shanzhou City had been sealed off. Of course, he knew what the sealing off of the city meant. The only place affected by the disaster this time was Shanzhou City.
If they didn’t report it, what would happen to the people in Shanzhou City? What would happen to the people in Tianfeng Town? Seeing that every household was starving and Uncle Lin couldn’t enter Shanzhou City, he took the initiative to distribute the grain in the granary to the people in Tianfeng Town.
Who knew that Zheng Yi Ju, this corrupt official, was actually well-informed? On the night of grain distribution, Zheng Yi Ju showed up with his army and said that Uncle Lin had opened the granary privately, which was illegal, and that he wanted to take Uncle Lin away. So Uncle Lin was taken away.
Along with Uncle Lin, all the food in Tianfeng Town was taken away, not a single grain was left. After these people left, I accidentally got a piece of news that Zheng Yiju was planning to release a plague in this place and then kill all the people in Tianfeng Town.
There was no other way, I could only move everyone to the mountain overnight and build a tree house for temporary residence. As for food, everything on the mountain was still there, and we could barely survive by hunting.
Shortly after we left, a group of people did come to Tianfeng Town, but when they saw that there was no one in Tianfeng Town, they turned around and left. Not long after, I heard that there was no one alive in Lihua Town, not far from Tianfeng Town.
The people there were infected with the plague, and the town was burned down. I don't know if all the people in Lihua Town died. The servants around me were sent out to investigate this matter. I suspect that Zheng Yiju has other intentions. "
Qian Jiujiu and Mu Yexiao looked at each other when they heard this. They didn't expect that they were too late and that a whole town had already been killed.
Mu Yexiao looked at Gu Qi: "What do you think Zheng Yiju's purpose is? Why do you think he has other intentions?"
Gu Qi frowned and continued, "Because there are still people from Zheng Yiju in the place where I am, he tried every means to kill me, and this time he was caught. I always thought he kept us because he couldn't find our address.
But now that he has his people here, it can't be for this reason, which means that he has other uses for these people. These are all my guesses, and the specific purpose is not yet known. Now that the prince and princess are here, I believe they can definitely take down Zheng Yiju. "
