Shopkeeper Li's expression changed, "That's impossible, the formula all came out of my hands."

Gu Yiyi raised her eyebrows, "Are you sure?"

Shopkeeper Li nodded, "Sure, every time I divide the formula into several parts and give them to the people below to make."

"In the end, my wife and I integrate it, so the finished product comes from me."

Shopkeeper Li was quite cautious, but if the formula went to someone else's house so quickly, something must have gone wrong.

Gu Yiyi no longer held shopkeeper Li responsible, but instead said:

"In this case, there may be something wrong with the people below, and I hope Shopkeeper Li will investigate it carefully."

Shopkeeper Li: "That's natural. This business has just started to pick up, and I can't give my money to others."

Gu Yiyi thought to herself that if you really give it away, I will have to scatter all your property.

She picked up the tea cup and took a sip.

"By the way, shopkeeper Li, have you heard any rumors in the past two days?"

Shopkeeper Li didn't know, "What rumors? Is it about the restaurant business, or what?"

Gu Yiyi whispered: "About the plague."

Shopkeeper Li was startled, "Is there a plague in the town? Where did the news come from?"

She shook her head, "I don't know either. I heard from the head of Jiangjia Village this morning that he blocked the entrance to the village and prevented the villagers from going out. The villagers were in trouble for a while."

Shopkeeper Li frowned, "I've never heard of this. I'll ask about it later. If there is really a plague, I have to inform Li Zheng earlier."

Gu Yiyi stood up and said, "Excuse me, Shopkeeper Li. I have something else to do, so I'll leave first."

Shopkeeper Li hurriedly sent her off, "Madam, go slowly. Thank you madam for reminding Li of this."

She waved her hand, "Let's get to know each other. It's good for you and me. Don't send me away. Just get busy."

After leaving the restaurant, Gu Yiyi wandered around the streets and alleys from morning to noon.

Whether it's a bustling market or a corner of a street.

Whether it is a place where rich people go or a place where beggars stay.

Gu Yiyi went to observe and inquire about it, and found something was wrong.

In some high-end tea shops, she found that many people had symptoms of mild cough.

The beggar on the street said that several people had died in the town. They were all burnt alive due to untreated high fever.

Among those burned to death were common people and beggars.

The beggars also said that many people from the neighboring county have gone to the south.

Gu Yiyi synthesized these clues and quickly guessed that it might be the flu.

But there is something wrong with the seasons. In general, influenza is most common in spring, autumn and winter.

Although it is mid-July, it is not autumn yet, and the weather is still warm.

However, prevention is still necessary.

After understanding the situation, Gu Yiyi went to the doctor they had originally arranged.

Shen Changfeng said that the doctor was introduced by Yuanwai Zhou, and others said that it was unlikely that his eyes would be cured.

Only that doctor said that it could be cured with some maintenance, but it would cost a lot of money.

Gu Yiyi saw the doctor, but the doctor said he didn't see the patient and refused to prescribe medicine.

Helpless, she had to turn back.

After doing this, she met Mr. Mei and prepared to go back.

Mr. Mei wore a black hat to cover his appearance.

The two met in a deserted place, and Mr. Mei handed a wad of banknotes to Gu Yiyi.

"The goods have been delivered. Now there are a few people who want to see you in person and invite you to the mansion."

Gu Yiyi counted the banknotes and found that there were only one thousand taels.

She muttered to herself: "There is a little money."

Mr. Mei paused in his steps, and his voice was colder when he spoke again.

"If you are worried, just don't let the money fall out of my hands in the future."

Gu Yiyi knew that he had misunderstood and explained: "That's not what I meant. Didn't the village chief say this morning that there is a plague outside? I asked around and found that there is indeed something wrong. This should be the reason why the sales of Yi Jing Dan have dropped. I don’t mean to doubt you. I don’t doubt you when you employ people, and you don’t use them when you doubt them.”

Mr. Mei still said coldly, "It doesn't matter, even if you doubt me, you should do it."

Gu Yiyi had no choice but to take out ten taels of silver from her arms and said, "This is your reward for bothering me."

Mr. Mei glanced at the silver and didn't take it, "It's too much."

He won't really refuse to accept it, after all, he really doesn't have much savings at the moment, but getting ten taels of silver just to give something away is indeed a lot.

Gu Yiyi threw the silver to him, and he took it reflexively, then was stunned.

"Take it, I always give Butcher Wang this number every time he goes there. If you really want to cheat me, just get the money and run away. You didn't run away, which means you don't do this kind of thing rarely, and you are in a place like a brothel." These people are not easy to deal with and have no ability, so I don’t feel comfortable handing over the work.”

After hearing her words, Mr. Mei no longer refused.

"Thank you. You are good at using people. No wonder that Butcher Wang is willing to follow you. I don't think he is a good person. You should be more careful."

Gu Yiyi smiled, "I'm not a good person, so you should be careful."

Mr. Mei stopped talking and concentrated on his journey.

She naturally knew that Butcher Wang was not a good person, but there were some things that good people could not do.

If she wants to be a businesswoman, she must not be merciful.

At present, Butcher Wang is quite obedient and easy to use, and she doesn't mind using him to give him some sweetness.

If the other party is ignorant and wants to trick her, she can also make the other party spit out the good things he has eaten.

There is a long stretch of road between Jiangjia Village and Pingshan Town, and one section of the road next to Jiangjia Village is a deserted forest.

The forest is not big, but because it is inaccessible all year round, there are many snakes, insects, mosquitoes and ants in it.

Usually people take detours, and Gu Yiyi is no exception.

Before she reached the forest, she vaguely saw a figure lying on the ground.

She suddenly felt wary, the two looked at each other and walked over cautiously.

As she got closer, Gu Yiyi heard the man calling for help.

"Is anyone there? Help, help me, I've been bitten by a snake."

This is a young man. His blue cloth is stained with mud and there are blood stains on his calf.

Next to it, a black-and-white snake was thrashing about half-dead, and its spine was broken at seven inches.

Gu Yiyi did not dare to be careless and threw a dart, completely cutting off seven inches of the snake.

At the same time, a stone also hit the snake's seven inches with great force, making a sound of breaking through the air.

The seven-inch-broken snake struggled twice in the end and became completely motionless.

Mr. Mei took back his hand, with a bit of regret in his tone.

"I know this kind of snake, a bungara snake. It's very venomous. He's hopeless."

Gu Yiyi said nothing. She looked at the other person carefully and finally sighed.

"His fortune is good, I can cure this poison."

She slowly walked up to the other party, kicked away the dead snake, and picked up her dart.

Mr. Mei quickly stopped him, "Don't touch it, it's poisonous!"

Gu Yiyi smiled and said, "It's okay. If you put it here, others will be more likely to be poisoned if they encounter it."

After saying that, she leaned down to look at the people on the ground.

Under the bamboo hat, Mr. Mei looked inquiringly, who is she?

After so many years in the world, he had never heard that the poison of Yinhuan could be cured.

If she could really get rid of Yinhuan's poison, why would she be willing to stay in this mountain village and be a nameless country woman?

And her husband is not that simple either. Who are these two people?
