Go back? No, no, no, Qian Jiujiu and Mu Yexiao had no intention of going back. They wanted to go to the village to see what was going on and observe the village chief. There must be other secrets in that small village.
"You should go back first. Be careful on your way. This place is not very safe."
This road is much shorter than the one they came from, and it won’t take that long to go back. I believe that if one person can come here, there will be no problem going back.
After eating the roasted chicken, Tong Ruyu left with the couple. Before leaving, Tong Ruyu told Qian Jiujiu and Mu Yexiao a piece of news: "Tomorrow is the grand opening of Master Mu's Herbal Medicine Pavilion. Will you go back to attend, sir and madam?"
Good luck to the business tomorrow. The two thought about it and looked at Tong Ruyu: "Thank you for reminding me. We will talk about this matter later."
It was just a small restaurant opening, and there didn't seem to be anything good to go back for. After Qian Jiujiu and Mu Yexiao finished eating, they had already left the opening aside and decided to go back and continue to see what was going on in the village.
When they returned to the village again, it was daytime, which allowed Qian Jiujiu and Mu Yexiao to see the whole picture of the village openly. After looking at it once, Qian Jiujiu's face was not very good.
Mu Yexiao looked at Qian Jiujiu: "What's wrong? Did you find anything?"
Qian Jiujiu nodded and pointed to a green seedling not far away: "Look what is that?"
Mu Yexiao had no knowledge of these green seedlings, so of course he had no idea. He shook his head and asked, "Could it be that these people are growing vegetables?"
Qian Jiujiu rolled her eyes. Forget it. Mu Yexiao didn’t understand, so she couldn’t ask too much of him. “That’s a seedling of the raw material for making Wu Shi San.”
Mu Yexiao understood after hearing this that this village also grows Wu Shi San. How to describe this thing called Wu Shi San! If used in small amounts, it can be used as an anesthetic, but if used in large amounts, it will be addictive.
If it is used to harm people, it will definitely harm them. Thinking of this, he looked at Qian Jiujiu and said, "What should we do? It seems that this village is a place full of filth and corruption. We should take it down."
Qian Jiujiu shook his head: "I don't think so. Look at the villagers in this village. They all look healthy, which proves that they are in good health."
They look very healthy, which proves that they didn't use the Wu Shi San at all, so it is very likely that they were sold.
After walking around the village, the people in the village seemed to be full of energy and healthy, and they should be living a normal life. As for the women, Qian Jiujiu could not touch them, nor could he see what was going on inside their bodies.
There is no way to prove whether these women are drugged or not. No, we can't do anything in the dark. We have to do it openly.
After making the decision, I discussed it with Mu Yexiao and decided to go back first and find an opportunity to come openly. Well, it's a good opportunity to go back and see about the opening of my son's restaurant.
No matter what, it was a sign that Nan Nan was determined to make progress, so he should be rewarded appropriately. Thinking of this, Qian Jiujiu and Mu Yexiao left Tongjia Village and headed back to Xianyou Town.
When we returned to Xianyou Town, it was already dark. As soon as we entered, we met Master Fang. Master Fang was very happy to see us coming back!
"Greetings, madam, you are back."
Mu Yexiao was stunned for a moment, and looked at Master Fang: "Why haven't you gone back yet?"
Master Fang was a little embarrassed: "Didn't I see you sorting out documents some time ago? I'll continue sorting them out. Are you going to count the villages and population in Xianyou Town?"
Mu Yexiao's mind suddenly lit up, and he remembered that he could still go to Tongjia Village openly through this method.
"I do have this idea, but there is no rush. Let's take our time. Don't rush. We still have plenty of time. We need to do some statistics, not just on the population, but also on the planting of vegetables and grains."
Originally Qian Jiujiu had this plan. The people living in Xianyou Town only rely on the income from the mountains, which is inherently unstable. They seem very rich, but in fact, many people still cannot get enough to eat.
Going into the mountains to hunt is also a dangerous thing, but there are still many hunters in Xianyou Town. To solve the problem fundamentally, we still have to start with the land.
What's more, after traveling to so many places before, Qian Jiujiu had not found a place that specializes in growing medicinal herbs. The geographical location of Xianyou Town is unique and is very suitable for growing medicinal herbs.
Master Fang was very happy when he heard what Mu Yexiao said: "Then I will go back first. It is getting late. If I don't go back, my parents will be worried."
This guy had to walk back from town every day, which was hard work: "You can ride a horse, right? Go pick a horse from the backyard and ride back. I'll bring it back tomorrow."
Master Fang thanked him immediately. He knew how to ride a horse, but his family was not well off, so even if he wanted to, he couldn't afford one.
"Thank you, sir."
He happily picked a white horse from the backyard and rode home. When he arrived at Fangjia Village, he saw his sister looking around at the door, obviously waiting for him to come back.
"Xiao Xi, I'm back."
Fang Xiaoxi looked at her brother riding a tall horse and blinked in surprise: "Brother, where did this horse come from? It's so beautiful."
The whole body was pure white without any color. Fang Xiaoxi couldn't help but reach out to touch it, and this action scared Master Fang.
"Don't touch it, in case the horse gets angry..."
Before he finished speaking, Master Fang was stunned. It turned out that Fang Xiaoxi had just extended her hand, but the white horse rubbed its head against Fang Xiaoxi's hand, and it seemed that it liked Fang Xiaoxi very much!
Fang Xiaoxi smiled: "Brother, it likes me! What's its name?"
Master Fang really didn’t know what it was called: “I don’t know. This is a horse from the backyard of the government office. It will be sent back tomorrow. I didn’t ask what it was called.”
Fang Xiaoxi nodded somewhat disappointedly without asking: "I see, then can I call you Xiaobai for the time being? What does Xiaobai eat? Grass? Do we have grass at home?"
Fang Xiaoxi asked as she walked forward, and the white horse actually followed behind her and entered the yard together. Fang Xiaoxi had some grass at home, so she quickly fed it to the horse.
Master Fang looked at Fang Xiaoxi and said something else: "By the way, Master Mu's shop will open tomorrow, are you going?"
Fang Xiaoxi knew about this matter. Forget it. No matter what, she still had to go for the sake of her master. Fang Xiaoxi thought about it and nodded: "Go, I have prepared a gift. Let's go and join in the fun tomorrow."
In the blink of an eye, it was the next day. In the morning, Master Fang was worried about Fang Xiaoxi going out alone, so he took her with him when he went out.
When they arrived at the yamen, they sent the person to the backyard. After all, the madam was back, and Xiao Xi was her disciple, so it was only right for him to go and accompany her.
When Fang Xiaoxi came to the yard, Qian Jiujiu had just woken up. After having breakfast, he heard Zi Tong say that Fang Xiaoxi was here, so he quickly called her in.
"Master, you are awake. Sorry for disturbing you today."
Seeing Qian Jiujiu, Fang Xiaoxi hurriedly greeted him. Qian Jiujiu smiled and said, "Don't bother me. By the way, how many of the books I asked you to read have you read?"
After Nan Nan's reminder, she had read quite a few books, so when Qian Jiujiu asked her about it, Fang Xiaoxi was not panicked at all: "I have read four books, and I have memorized all the contents, and I can understand them."
It may be because she has lived one more life than others, and her brain capacity has become huge. She can remember things after seeing them more than once. The most important thing is that after remembering them, she can understand what they mean and make use of them.
Qian Jiujiu randomly picked out a few medicinal herbs and some cases mentioned in the book, and asked a few questions. He found that Fang Xiaoxi's answers were all correct, and nodded with satisfaction: "Not bad, not bad, I knew that you must have a talent for studying medicine and can inherit my mantle."
Looking at Fang Xiaoxi, Qian Jiujiu's eyes became more and more satisfied. The two were still talking when Nan Nan came over: "Mom, are you up? It's almost time, let's go."
Qian Jiujiu rolled his eyes and said, "I won't show up today. And you, you can't go out and do things under the banner of your father."
Having said that, Qian Jiujiu still wants to go and take a look at the decoration of her son's store.
Holding Fang Xiaoxi's hand, he said, "We'll go watch the fun and pretend to be guests going in to eat."
Fang Xiaoxi looked at Nan Nan sympathetically, then nodded: "Okay, Master."
Nan Nan understood after hearing this. In fact, most people didn't know him as the son of the county magistrate, except for a few people who had contact with him.
So until now, no one knew that the herbal medicine pavilion was the property of the county magistrate's son. And the shopkeeper next to Nan Nan was also the previous restaurant owner.
After the boss who sold the restaurant left, Nan Nan took over all the staff and only asked Kyoto to send a chef over. He then went to the restaurant with Kawatani and a few others around him.
Flower baskets have been placed on both sides of the restaurant's entrance. These flower baskets were made by Nan Nan herself in the past few days. The style of the flower baskets is still the same beautiful one she saw in Huadu before.
But the people in Xianyou Town had never seen it before, so they thought it was very novel. In the early morning, many people were already blocking the entrance to see the flowers.
Qian Jiujiu and Fang Xiaoxi went out together and saw it. Fang Xiaoxi looked at the flowers and was also a little surprised: "Those flowers are so beautiful."
That's right! Looking at those flowers, Qian Jiujiu was thinking, when can I go to the Flower City again
