Fang Zhai more than ten acres [system]

The mountain road is difficult to walk.

Some road sections are steep and steep, the sky is getting late, the light is dim, and everyone has to be careful when walking among the jagged rocks, which seriously delays the pace of the return journey.

When we rushed back to Wuyunzhai, it was completely dark, and it was almost Haizheng.

As soon as the Wuyun village master saw Yu Rong and his party, he forgot even a word of polite greetings, and hurriedly bowed his hands to the crowd, with a serious expression and a straightforward tone: "There is trouble in Xiqin, and it may affect Wuyun village."

Yu Rong was shocked when he heard this.

Zhou Fangzhen was even more anxious, and asked first: "What's wrong? Is it dangerous?"

Wu Yun didn't answer him directly, but glanced at her husband, and landed on the doctor who was the leader of the crowd: "It's dangerous to walk on the mountain road at night, so Doctor Xiaoyu," he looked at Zhou Fangzhen again, with a gentle look in his eyes, "Lao You take Xiaohong and leave Baini Mountain as soon as possible tomorrow, as long as you can enter Xianmen Town."

Xianmen Town is called Zhenzi, but it is actually the last frontier city of Min Country on Southwest Road.

The border town is heavily guarded by its own soldiers, and exchanges between Xiqin, Nanfan and Min Kingdom must pass through this important pass.

Yu Rong didn't answer or refuse immediately, but frowned inadvertently, and asked obliquely, "I don't know what Wuzhai Lord's plan is going to be?"

Wu Yun smiled casually: "Please rest assured, Doctor Xiaoyu, the people in my Wuyun Village are not vegetarians."

Yu Rong was a little sweaty.

Even though it was out of date, she still couldn't help but think to herself, this queen really has the demeanor of a "king of the mountain" at this moment.

After Wu Yun laughed, he changed the subject and said seriously: "You are from Min, the matter of Xiqin has nothing to do with you, why bother to cause chaos for nothing." After a short pause, his eyes fell on Zhou Fangzhen again, and his tone softened a little, " Don't worry, no matter how big the trouble is, no one in Xiqin dares to go to Xianmen Town, so you don't have to worry about your own safety."

Yu Rong sighed slightly.

Compared with his own safety, he was more concerned about his elder brother who went deep into Xiqin, and he didn't know what was going on with the chaos that the village master Wuyun mentioned.just hope...

Zhou Fangzhen's voice sounded immediately: "The village is in danger, how can I leave at this time, leaving you and going back to Min country alone?"

Especially righteous words, clank and iron bones.

Wu Yun said unceremoniously: "You will drag me down if you don't leave, and it won't help much if you stay."

Zhou Fangzhen was stunned instantly, he opened and closed his mouth several times, unable to speak.

Yu Rong was embarrassed at the same time.

What King Wuyun said really hurt my heart. Although it may be true, brother Zhou must have good intentions anyway.

Thinking about it this way in my heart, seeing that Zhou Fangzhen didn't look unsuspecting, he didn't tactfully talk too much.

Gathering up his chaotic thoughts, Yu Rong cupped his hands at Wu Yun: "The Lord of Wuzhai is exhausted, so he will leave the mountain immediately at the dawn of tomorrow." After that, he added, "Lord Wuzhai can rest assured, I will take good care of Brother Zhou later. .”

Zhou Fangzhen said weakly: "I can take care of myself..."

The other two didn't listen at all.

Wu Yun returned another salute and said gratefully, "I'll leave it to Doctor Xiao Yu."

Zhou Fangzhen interrupted: "I..."

Yu Rong curled his lips together, and said straightly: "Don't bother the two of you." Looking at his friend, he said, "Brother Zhou should rest well tonight, and the journey tomorrow will be very hard."

After saying that, he decided not to stay any longer.

Back to the wooden house where he was temporarily staying, Yu Rong lay on the straw mat and tossed and turned.

He told Zhou Fangzhen to sleep well, but he couldn't fall asleep himself.

For a while, I thought of my uncle whose whereabouts were unknown, and for a while, I remembered the trouble that the head of Wuyun Village said... That kind of uncomfortable intuition lingered in my heart.

I don't know, where is my brother now and what is he doing?

Rationality made him try to stay calm, and he believed that with Nie Xinzhi's ability, he would be able to face any kind of chaos with ease;

Emotionally, I really wish I could "give wings under my threat", fly to my brother, and see with my own eyes that the other party is safe and sound, so that I can rest assured.

Forget it.

Still don't think about it.

I said earlier that the people of Xiqin are tough, and fights between the villages are common, and Nie Xinzhi didn't go back to the hinterland of Xiqin, why did he scare himself? !

Very dead!

Yu Rong closed his eyes, held his "corpse" for a long time, and suddenly sat up.

Lying quietly, she couldn't control her wild thoughts.

The more I think about it, the more restless I feel.

Yu Rong decided to find something to do for himself, it's best to keep his mind full so that he doesn't have the time to think about it.

But in the middle of the night, what can you do?

Then write "Corpse"?My thoughts were confused, my mind was completely blank, and I couldn't write a word.

Sitting in a daze for a long while, Yu Rong suddenly had a flash of inspiration, quickly tidied himself up, opened the door carefully, and quietly passed Lang Wei's room.

A blue light suddenly flashed in the dark sky.

Yu Rong subconsciously stopped his movements, and then heard a loud thunder, and couldn't help being slightly startled:

In the late autumn, when Meng Dong was approaching, there was thunder?

According to folk superstition, "thunder in autumn is full of thieves", which is a harbinger of disaster.

As soon as the thought passed, Yu Rong put aside the completely unscientific argument, and Yu Rong picked up his pace and walked to another wooden door in a few steps.

Lightly.

A small log cabin, which was originally empty, is now filled with whole plants, fruits or tubers of various colors.

Since I can't sleep, why not deal with the medicinal materials.

Some rhizomes, such as Alisma, Codonopsis, Dendrobium, and Habitat, cannot be dried in the sun or kang for a while, so fresh medicinal materials can be stored by spreading some dry sand and putting them in baskets.

Yu Rong walked around the house, and found that the Langwei headed by He Xiaowei acted very appropriately.

The dry sand is paved in layers, not to mention the order, some medicinal materials are specially stored in pairs according to the "anti-storage method".

For example, this time I encountered a diptero tree that is rare in Min country, and may not even exist at all. The dipterocarp separated from its trunk is natural borneol, and it is stored together with rush grass, which has the effect of "preserving and preventing consumption." "The role.

In addition, medicinal materials such as pepper and alum that can effectively prevent insects are scattered around.

Yu Rong looked left and right, feeling that he didn't need to do anything else.

Captain He and the others are too capable.

It doesn't matter if you don't have work to do, it's just killing time.

Then he took out a glove from the storage compartment and put it on, Yu Rong slowly looked through the harvest this time one by one.

Many medicinal materials are either commonly used but really easy to use and good in appearance, or rare and precious, or even rare.

For example, dipterocarp mentioned earlier.

Unexpectedly, at the northern foothills of Longyan Mountain, there is actually a large diptero forest, and the ice flakes alone are worth the trip.

In addition to dipterocarp, Dendrobium that is suitable for harvesting was found in Nanshan of Baini Mountain.

Although not the "reputable" Dendrobium officinale with the reputation of fairy grass, Dendrobium officinale is not much different from Dendrobium officinale when used medicinally.

Of course, in terms of efficacy, Dendrobium purple skin is relatively weak.

But no matter what, in this era, no matter what kind of Dendrobium it is, it is a precious and rare medicinal material.

Even if it is not as good as Dendrobium candidum, so many purple dendrobiums are better than enough!

Dendrobium tonifies qi and yin, and belongs to the stomach, kidney, and lung meridians. It is very suitable for the illness of officials and Nie Xuan, and it is good for nourishing and conditioning.

There is also Panax notoginseng, except for Kuang Wanchun Tang, most pharmacies currently rarely supply it.

Another example is Polygonatum, which has long been recorded as medicinal in this world, but unfortunately it is as rare as ginseng.

Also a bumper harvest.

The main reason is that there are enough people on this trip.

Except for "professionals" like He Xiaowei who are proficient in herbal medicine, the rest of Lang Wei was also consciously selected by Nie Xinzhi, and they all knew a thing or two about medicinal materials.

Without Yu Rong's instructions, these capable young men scattered in all directions within a visible distance, wishing to plunder the land three feet away.

In addition to the guide Ma Yafeng, he is very clever, but he is quite honest, and he is especially good at leading the way. Under his guidance, the efficiency of the group's search for herbs has been greatly improved.

It is a matter of course that the harvest is fruitful.

It's a pity that there was a temporary change and the harvesting time was shortened, otherwise the "traders" on this trip might really make a fortune.

The truth is.

Xiqin, who relies on mountains to eat mountains and water, and Min country, which is rich in resources, mainly rely on the trading of medicinal materials.

Of course, the reason why precious medicinal materials are precious lies in their rarity.

It can only be said that this trip was very lucky, and it happened to catch up with the end of autumn and the beginning of winter, which is the harvest season for most medicinal materials.

Although the gastrodia elata he wanted most was not found, dipterocarp and sealwort were unexpected joys.

In addition, Yu Rong did not miss relatively common medicinal materials, such as Niu Dali, which was recorded in the Min Dynasty as having no medicinal uses.

Many medicinal materials that are easy to find outside the Southwest, such as forsythia, are harvested at the time when Huangqiao is harvested, and Yu Rong often picks its fruits.

Including yam, Huangling and Codonopsis, etc., which are commonly used medicines.

As a "traveler" who resells medicinal materials, he travels all the way to the southwest, of course he must "receive" as much "goods" as possible, no matter how many medicinal materials are too much.

Fake it to the end.Since it was said that something happened to Xiqin, there were a lot of people in their line, so it was a bit of an eye-opener.

The young doctor, who couldn't help but feel happy because the room was full of medicinal materials, forgot his previous boredom and anxiety for a while, picked up a "ginger" - it was the extremely rare Huang Jing - and looked at it carefully, the corner of his mouth unconsciously up.

The whistling rain brought Yu Rong, who was intoxicated in the pile of medicinal herbs, back to his senses.

It's raining?

Covering Huang Jing with dry sand, Yu Rong picked up the oil lamp, walked to the door, and opened the wooden door.

The strong wind blew out the lights.

Yu Rong didn't care, and found a place to put down the oil lamp, and hurried out to close the wooden door to prevent the wind from blowing rain on the medicinal materials.

The wooden house has a veranda, but it is windy and rainy. After standing under the veranda for a short while, the clothes on the body are gradually wet.

Yu Rong, who was drenched all over, didn't want to turn around and go back to the hut, so as not to contaminate the medicinal materials.

Seeing that the rain was getting heavier and heavier, it seemed to be pouring, fearing that it would not stop for a while, he bit his lower lip lightly, his heart sank, and let the rain drench his head, holding on to the wooden railing, carefully stepping, stepping on Mu Tiaozi went down step by step.

As soon as he touched the rocky ground, he ran quickly to the room where he slept.

Inadvertently, the sole of his foot slipped, and he staggered. Fortunately, Yu Rong forgot the agility taught by the system and basically never used, and used it urgently at this time.

Anyway, I didn't fall forward and roll.

I don't care about embarrassment, the key is that the mountain road is scattered with gravels of all sizes. If a person falls heavily, he may suffer physically.

Then it was slippery step by step, but luckily the two wooden houses were only a few steps away, so Yu Rong managed to rush back to the room.

The whole body was drenched with rainwater.

Fortunately, there are water tanks, firewood, hanging pots, and large and small wooden basins for washing in the house. I don’t want to be sick and delay tomorrow’s trip. A certain doctor hurriedly changed into the soaked clothes and made a bowl of ginger water to drink. .

Add firewood again, boil water again.

After scrubbing, Yu Rong, who had been busy all night, was so tired that he finally didn't have time to think about this or that. He fell on the bed and fell into a sound sleep after a few breaths.

Boom, boom, knock on the door hastily, shaking the dream away.

Yu Rong woke up instantly, her heart throbbing with the sound of the drum beating on the door, she didn't even have time to put on her shoes, and hurried to open the door.

It was not yet clear.

A wrong eye almost didn't notice the existence of the black boy.

Ma Yafeng stumbled into the official Min dialect: "Sick, sick."

Yu Rong's heart tightened: "Who is sick?"

Hearing the sound, Ma Yafeng let go of his arms wrapped around his chest, and held up a small furry animal.

Is it the groundhog caught on the mountain yesterday?

Yu Rong was silent.

This brat!He was so nervous that he thought...

Thinking instead of Ma Yafeng's love for small animals, a certain "non-professional veterinarian" straightened his mind, looked at the little groundhog cub, and shook his head without checking at all: "It's dead .”

"sick."

"Horse tooth wind," Yu Rong called, bluntly speaking, "This wild animal may be dirty, so it's better to avoid physical contact, if you accidentally get germs or bugs, you will be the one who will get sick. "Paused, and softened his tone, "Since it is dead, why not bury Ma Yafeng, so that it can be buried in peace."

It was a long conversation, but Ma Yafeng didn't know if he understood.

No longer forcing Yu Rong to treat the small animals, he turned around and ran away with the little groundhog limply in his arms.

Seeing that Yu Rong was a little bit guilty, she felt that she just refused because of what she was doing, and pretended to treat the groundhog.

only……

"Son."

He Xiaowei's voice suddenly sounded, interrupting Yu Rong's fleeting thoughts.

He didn't pay much attention, he followed the sound and turned his head.

He Xiaowei said respectfully: "It may be dangerous to travel in rainy days. I wonder if we will start today?"

Yu Rong didn't answer right away, looking at the still dark sky.

The rain was much weaker than it was in the middle of the night, but it was pattering, and you could tell it at a glance, and it might not stop in a while.

After pondering for a while, he said: "It's not safe to walk on the mountain road before dawn, let's wait and see." After thinking for a while, he added, "Since Lord Wuzhai told us to leave as soon as possible, it might be inappropriate to stay here. If we arrive During the day, the rain does not seem to increase, so we still go out of the mountain and follow the way we came, so it should be fine to be careful."

He Xiaowei had no objection, and solemnly agreed.

Yu Rong suddenly thought of a room full of medicinal materials, and couldn't help but frown. If it's raining, if you're traveling outside, no matter how you protect yourself, the medicinal materials will inevitably get wet from the rain, right?

Then he thought, if all goes well, he will set off at dawn and arrive at Xianmen Town after dark, and then find a big house and quickly process the medicinal materials, which will not damage the medicinal properties much.

After a round of calculations, I calmed down a little.

Looking up and seeing the rain falling like a bead curtain, Yu Rong sighed unconsciously.

It's really "leakage in the house is rainy night."

Well, this analogy seems to be exaggerated and not appropriate enough, but... it really is too coincidental.

What I didn't want, let alone coincidence, happened after all the people cleaned up.

Dark clouds suddenly visit.

Yu Rong, who was checking whether the medicinal materials were placed properly, greeted the king with a smile: "Master Wuzhai, I don't know..."

Before he finished speaking, he saw two people following behind Wu Yun.

No, three people to be precise.

The two guards who rushed to the hinterland of Xiqin with Nie Xinzhi, and...

Yu Rong stared blankly at the young man who was "carried by the princess" by Ichiro Wei.

His pale face was quite familiar to him.

His Royal Highness, younger uncle Nie Dan.

He just opened his mouth: "He—"

The two captains knelt down with a "plop".

One person was not agile enough because he was hugging and protecting Nie Dan.

The other Lang Wei, perhaps because of the rain, was dripping water all over his body, and his leather uniform was cut into gaps, and he was extremely embarrassed.He kowtowed to Yu Rongmeng.

The young doctor was caught off guard.

"What are the two wrestlers doing?" Yu Rong asked anxiously, "Please get up quickly."

Lang Wei, who bowed his head to the ground and refused to get up, pleaded in pain: "This subordinate is incompetent, and he is not doing enough to protect His Royal Highness Yu Wang. Please come down to me, my lord."

Yu Rong's heart skipped a beat, his movements were slightly stagnant, and he didn't care whether to commit the crime or not, so he immediately bent down and squatted in front of Nie Dan: "What's wrong, uncle?"

At this time, the captain holding Nie Dan said, "His Royal Highness—"

"Passed away."

Yu Rong suddenly opened his eyes wide: How, what, can, can? !

I even forgot my words for a moment.

The brain seemed to stop functioning temporarily, but the movements of the hands were not sluggish, and the fingers lightly pressed on Nie Dan's jugular artery.

pulse...

Dead silence.
