On her wedding night, she went into exile with her pharmacy arsenal

After bidding farewell to the eldest lady, Yan Ruyu and Huo Changhe left the inn without returning to their residence.

"Let's go to the manor outside the city?" Huo Changhe asked.

Yan Ruyu thought for a while: "I suddenly had other thoughts."

"what idea?"

"Let's go to the grain store we just got today," Yan Ruyu said with a cold smile, "to collect some grain."

Huo Changhe's eyes lit up: "What a good idea."

Only the deed of ownership of the grain store had been transferred, and the other items had not yet been handed over. Yan Ruyu and Huo Changhe arrived at the grain store. The door was closed, so they climbed in directly from the side wall.

When I arrived at the warehouse, I found that there wasn't much rice in it, only about two-thirds full.

Huo Changhe whispered: "The secret guards checked this shop. Before we entered the city, we just received a batch of rice. It has only been a few days, so we shouldn't have sold so much."

"If it is not sold, then part of it is hidden. If it is hidden, firstly, he feels that he has suffered a loss and wants to take some away. The less he loses, the better; secondly,..."

Yan Ruyu paused slightly: "As soon as the food entered the city, it was sent elsewhere and did not enter here."

"You mean, they store food elsewhere?" Huo Changhe suddenly thought of the future famine mentioned by Yan Ruyu, "Is it to prepare for the food disaster?"

"It's very possible," Yan Ruyu frowned slightly, "Unfortunately, Hong Yu knows too little. She doesn't know the inside story about what happened during the famine."

"If they really stored it in advance, it would be artificial." Huo Changhe's eyes were cold and stern, "Take it first and then ask for an explanation from them later."

Yan Ruyu nodded: "Yes, just take it away without leaving a single drop, and then go find him and ask what's going on."

The two of them agreed that Huo Changhe would go out and Yan Ruyu would collect the grain. After collecting the food, they would carefully check whether there was a dark room before exiting.

The two of them went to the front together and collected all the rice vats and the like.

After harvesting the grain, the two of them went out to the manor outside the city without stopping for a moment.

Yan Ruyu came to the city for the first time, but Huo Changhe didn't. He led the way and even took a shortcut.

In the night, the manor was silent, like a sleeping giant, and it could be seen that it covered a large area.

Yan Ruyu secretly thought to herself that she had already harvested quite a lot in King Yi's manor before. The scale of this manor was not smaller than King Yi's. Another harvest here would be enough to feed everyone for several years in the northwest.

When the food is there, the heart is at ease, that’s true.

Yan Ruyu was eager to give it a try, so Huo Changhe took her outside the courtyard wall, first jumped up to the treetops and looked down.

"There won't be any dogs, right?" Yan Ruyu whispered.

Huo Changhe could tell that she was really afraid of dogs.

"Usually manors keep a few of them, but don't worry, I'm by your side and won't let you get hurt. I'll knock them out first."

Yan Ruyu's face turned pale, and she squeezed his sleeve tightly with her fingers: "Okay, keep your word."

"Keep your word," Huo Changhe replied affirmatively.

"go!"

Huo Changhe touched a branch with his toes, leaped into the air, and took her over the courtyard wall, landing in the courtyard.

It was Huo Changhe's first time to come to this manor, and neither of them were familiar with it. However, the layout was generally similar.

"Let's go, find the warehouse first."

The manor warehouse is usually on the last few floors of the courtyard, and then there are the fields. Once the harvest is harvested, it will be more convenient and labor-saving to go directly to the warehouse.

Before reaching the warehouse door, Yan Ruyu stopped and refused to leave.

Huo Changhe asked: "What's wrong?"

"Look, see if there's a dog in front of you."

Huo Changhe wanted to laugh, but felt a little distressed. He pursed his lips and walked forward to take a look. Sure enough, he saw two cages in front of the door, with two dogs sleeping in each.

Huo Changhe returned to Yan Ruyu: "Come on, I will take you to the back wall. There is a window over there."

No need to ask, Yan Ruyu knew that she had guessed correctly. She took a deep breath and tried her best not to think about the dog.

The rear window was very high and the windows were smaller than ordinary windows, but this was not a problem for Huo Changhe. He went up first and opened the window. Yan Ruyu threw her flying claws, climbed up smoothly, and jumped in.

As soon as we entered the warehouse, we smelled the aroma of new rice.

There is more than ten times more rice and grain here than in the grain store. Not only rice, but also freshly picked fruits and vegetables. There are hundreds of bamboo baskets full of them.

Yan Ruyu smiled widely and quickly closed her eyes.

Huo Changhe stood guard behind the door, looking at the two dogs through the crack in the door.

After Yan Ruyu had collected almost everything, Huo Changhe went back and looked for a dark room.

There were no mechanisms on the wall, and the thickness of the wall was normal. Yan Ruyu walked slowly in the warehouse, and suddenly felt that the ground was a little cold when she reached a place.

There is still a swoosh of cold air somewhere.

Yan Ruyu stopped. Huo Changhe finished checking the other wall and came over to ask, "What's wrong?"

As soon as he finished speaking, Huo Changhe also felt: "Here..."

"There is something underground. The agency should be nearby. Let's look for it."

The two immediately split up and searched nearby. Soon, Huo Changhe discovered that a small brick in the corner was movable and could be moved left and right.

Pulling Yan Ruyu behind him to block it, he pulled out the dagger and flicked it hard.

There was a slight "click" sound, and the ground where they had just stood slid, revealing an entrance.

The two looked at each other and Huo Changhe said, "I'll go down and you watch from above."

Yan Ruyu thought for a moment: "Go and lock the warehouse door from the inside, and we'll all go down and take a look."

"Alright."

Yan Ruyu took out a small flashlight and followed Huo Changhe down the secret passage together.

"No wonder it feels cold when you're up there. There are so many ice cubes here." Huo Changhe's lips were white as he spoke, "Is it cold? If you can't stand it, go up first."

"It's okay," Yan Ruyu quickly looked around, "This is like a simple cold storage. It's not such a hot summer right now. Why do you need so much ice? Still hiding it in this place."

After walking a little further inside, Huo Changhe opened his eyes slightly: "This is..."

A kind of dark red grass with dark red leaves, bright red stems, and the back of the leaves is almost black, especially because it is frozen. There are small water droplets on the edges of the leaves, as if they are full of blood. Very strange.

There is not just one plant of this kind of grass, there are tens of thousands of them densely packed, neatly arranged.

Yan Ruyu's face was solemn, she pinched a piece under her nose and smelled it: "Does the prince still remember Wen Qingzhuo and his son, and the second son of the Song family?"

They all have a "strange disease". They usually look like good people, but when they get sick, they appear crazy and completely lose their minds.

"You mean, this kind of grass is..."

"Yes, this herb should be the main raw material for making the powder that makes them addicted."

Huo Changhe gritted his teeth slightly: "No wonder it looks so weird, it is really a very harmful thing!"

"Yu'er, take them out and burn them!"

Yan Ruyu thought for a while: "I definitely have to take it with me, including the ice cubes. In summer, I won't have to buy them again."

"However, the herbal medicine is not guilty at all. The guilty are those who use it incorrectly. Let's take it away first, and then I will see if it has any other uses."

"Okay, listen to you."

Yan Ruyu took away the herbs and ice cubes without leaving anything behind.
