Amazing Pastoral World: Unparalleled Medical Queen

After saying goodbye to Wei Jinzhi and his son, Lu Ke'er and her friend returned to the river to continue their fishing career.

Lu Ke'er placed the bamboo basket horizontally in the water, so that the water submerged the entire basket. The basket was filled with crushed snails. After a while, a fish swam into the basket to peck at the snail meat. When the fish entered, Lu Ke'er quickly lifted the basket out of the water, and the fish could no longer escape. This method of catching fish was very effective, and Dong Ling laughed and jumped, very happy.

After fishing, Lu Ke'er and Dong Ling caught a lot of snails. Before they knew it, half a day had passed and the midday sun had climbed overhead, exuding the heat of mid-autumn.

Lu Keer and Dong Ling reaped a lot of benefits.

The bottom of the basket was filled with snails that they had caught, weighing more than ten pounds. A dozen fat fish were placed on top of the snails, filling the entire basket. In addition, the two of them also strung a few fish on willow branches, carrying them in their hands, which felt heavy.

"Ke'er, you are amazing." After a morning, Dong Ling has become a loyal fan of Lu Ke'er. "Your beautiful little head is really smart. You can catch fish without a fishing net, and you caught so many. Those who say you are stupid are really stupid."

"Their mouths are on their faces. We can't control what they say." Lu Ke'er winked at her mischievously. "But even if we can't control their mouths, we can still slap them in the face."

Dong Ling was stunned for a moment, then she started laughing: "Isn't it? You caught so many fish, isn't that a slap in their face? Haha!"

"Ke'er, I'll help you carry the fish home."

"Row."

The two of them carried the bamboo basket in one hand and the fish in the other, chatting and laughing as they walked home.

Before arriving at the Lu family, I saw a group of people gathered at the door from afar.

Lu Ke'er was startled, looked at Dong Ling, and quickened her pace.

At the gate of the Lu family compound, Ma Dani supported her waist and shouted in a loud voice: "Ji Li Niang, if you have treasures, take them out and let everyone see them. What's the point of hiding them?"

"That's right! Are you afraid that we might snatch it away?" Lin looked at Ji with disdain, "I really didn't realize that, Ji Li Niang, you usually don't show off your talents, and you pretend to be more pitiful than anyone else. Who would have thought that you had a treasure hidden at home."

The people watching were talking a lot.

“Doesn’t the Lu family owe a lot of debt?”

"In the past few years, their family has borrowed money from many families in our village. Everyone in our village has lent them some money. But I didn't expect that they actually have a treasure. Tell me, why would they borrow money when they have a treasure?"

"Who knows? I guess other people's money isn't money, so you feel comfortable spending it. But your own money is money, so you probably won't be willing to spend it."

"The Lu family seems to be quite kind..."

Ji's face turned pale, and she felt uneasy. But she did not back down. She suppressed her nervousness and explained, "The villagers know everything about our Lu family. Over the years, thanks to everyone's support, our family has survived to this day. I don't know where Dani heard that my family has a treasure. If there really is a treasure, our family would not have fallen into this situation now."

As soon as the words fell, Lei Qi in the crowd nodded in agreement: "Ji is right. The Lu family has lived in our village for more than ten years, and everyone knows everything about them. She has no reason to lie to us!"

"Madani, where did you get this information?" someone asked, "Are you lying to us?"

"I'm full and have nothing to do. Do you think it's fun to tease everyone?" Ma Dani pulled Jin Feng behind her and said proudly, "My Feng Er heard Lu Mingxi say it with her own ears. Come on, Feng Er, tell everyone."

Jin Feng twisted her waist, straightened her chest, and raised her head proudly, like a fighting little rooster.

"This morning I went to the vegetable garden to pick vegetables, and I happened to see Lu Mingxi playing with Shidan. Shidan boasted to Lu Mingxi that he could eat an egg for breakfast every day, and teased Lu Mingxi that he could only eat wild vegetables for every meal. Lu Mingxi was not convinced and said that his family would not eat wild vegetables soon. Shidan asked him why, and Lu Mingxi said that his sister dug ginseng, and when she exchanged it for money, she would have eggs to eat."

"Xiao Xi..." Ji's heart choked, and she turned to look at her son who was huddled behind her. The little boy knew that he had caused trouble for the family, so he lowered his head, twisted the corners of his clothes with his hands, and tears fell.

Everyone was in an uproar.

"Ginseng! The Lu family actually has ginseng?"

"What luck did the Lu family have? They were able to obtain a magical medicine like ginseng."

"His family still owes me two taels of silver!" Some people said happily, "So, they can pay me back?"

"Hmph, I think it's a bit mysterious." Ma Dani's sharp voice almost pierced everyone's eardrums, "I'm afraid they will secretly run away with the ginseng, and then all the money you lent them will be wasted!"

"That's not the case..."

"What do you mean? You have to be on guard against others! Money can move people!"

"Everyone, ask the Lu family to hand over the ginseng! Don't let them have the chance to run away with the ginseng!" Suddenly a rough sound was heard, instantly igniting the dark desires hidden in the hearts of some people with ulterior motives present.

"Hand over the ginseng!" Many people followed suit.

Ji's face turned pale and he took two steps back.

Lu Mingxi was so scared that he burst into tears.

Lei Qi was very anxious: "Fellow villagers, calm down, the Lu family is not that kind of people! You can't force the Lu family like this..."

However, as soon as his voice was heard, it was immediately drowned out by the thunderous roar.

"Hand over the ginseng!"

"Hand over the ginseng!"

"If they don't pay, we will go to the Lu family and ask for it! Let's see how they can deny their debt!" The rough and hoarse voice sounded again.

Lu Ke'er's eyes turned cold, and she looked intently, and found that the person shouting was a man in gray cloth, about thirty years old. He was hiding behind the crowd, and his behavior was very suspicious. The man looked unfamiliar, with a pair of inverted eyebrows and triangular eyes. At this moment, he stared at the Lu family's gate with a sinister look, like a wolf staring at fresh meat.

"Who is that person?" Lu Ke'er pointed at the man and asked Dong Ling quietly.

Dong Ling looked over and said, "It seems to be Uncle Qianggen's brother-in-law. His name seems to be Lin Yunmu. Sometimes he would come to Uncle Qianggen's house to stay for a few days."

Lu Ke'er narrowed her eyes slightly, with a hint of sarcasm appearing at the corner of her mouth.

Brother-in-law? Isn't that Lin Yunhua's brother?

Good, very good! She made a note of this!

Under the instigation of Lin Yunmu, someone got hot-headed and tried to force his way into the Lu family's courtyard.

"What...what do you want to do?" Ji opened her arms and tried to stop them with all her might.

"What are you doing? Looking for the ginseng hidden in your house! If you don't move out of the way, I won't be polite!" A wretched man who looked like a skinny monkey laughed, stared at Ji's chest with his lustful eyes, and reached out to touch Ji's body.

Ji was so frightened that he forgot to react.

Suddenly, with a "whoosh" sound, a black shadow flew over everyone's heads and flew straight towards the wretched man, hitting the back of the man's head with a heavy "slap".

The man fell to the ground.

Everyone took two steps back in shock. After a closer look, they realized that the man had been hit by a fish.

"I wonder who dares to break into my house!" A cold shout, like thunder and lightning wrapped in anger, exploded in everyone's ears.

The people surrounding the Lu family felt a strong force pushing them to the sides. A thin figure crossed the crowd.
