Herb Family [Rebirth]

Lu Qi and Mr. Bai still don't know the secrets in the cottage.

Although the people in the village respected old man Bai very much, they would not casually tell what happened in the village. Therefore, old man Bai only knew that many people in the village had to work, but he didn't know what kind of work they were doing.

It's not that old man Bai has never asked about it, but the population in the village is very tight, and old man Bai was afraid of causing trouble if he asked too much, so he observed silently and stopped asking.

Now that Lu Qi is here, the old man has someone more to talk to.

It's just that old man Bai didn't dare to say too much. After all, walls have ears. Although he is respected now, Lu Qi was kidnapped by the people in the village. The people in the village must be worried about Lu Qi.

So Mr. Bai didn't talk to Lu Qi for too long, and after quickly explaining how he came here, he yelled at Lu Qi to sort out the herbs outside the house.

Lu Qi squinted his eyes, and quickly guessed the intention of old man Bai, so he cooperated with the work of the drug boy.

In a hidden corner where the two of them didn't pay attention, the person in charge of supervising them didn't relax at all, and was still watching their movement closely. ...

Under the protection of his guards, Bai Heng came all the way to Meizhen.

According to what Lu Qi wrote in the letter, he found the yard that Lu Qi rented, and after knocking on the door, no one came to answer the door for a long time.

Bai Heng frowned, and signaled the guard who knocked on the door to continue knocking.

After a while, it seemed as if they heard movement outside in the next yard. A middle-aged man in servant clothes was sizing up Bai Heng and his party.

A servant who was following Bai Heng looked very winkingly, and after asking Bai Heng for instructions in a low voice, he walked towards the courtyard next door.

After chatting with the middle-aged man for a while, the boy walked back quickly, "Master, the uncle next door said that Master Lu and others left about a month ago and never came back."

After hearing this, Bai Heng's heart skipped a beat, and he heard the young man continue to say: "There were people left behind in the yard, but the servants who stayed behind went out early and returned late every day, as if they were looking for Young Master Lu's whereabouts."

"Master, it's not an option for us to wait here, we might as well find an inn to rest." After hearing the boy's report, the head guard stepped forward and said in a low voice.

"Alright, I'm sorry to bother you." Bai Heng nodded and asked the head guard to make arrangements.

The middle-aged uncle next door saw that Bai Heng and the others seemed to be leaving, so he retreated to the yard again and stopped paying attention to them.

Under the arrangement of the chief guard, Bai Heng quickly moved into a medium-sized inn in Meizhen. After settling down, the chief guard sent someone to wait in Lu Qi's yard to meet the servants who stayed behind.

"Young master, I just went out for a while and came back after inquiring a lot of news." Bai Heng's servant walked around as soon as he arrived at the inn, and returned to his room to report to Bai Heng after staying for a while.

"Let's hear it." Bai Heng was exhausted from the journey, and finally he could rest, but because he was worried about Lu Qi and Mr. Bai, he couldn't sit still.

The boy hurriedly told the news one by one, focusing on the "disappearance" of Lu Qi and others.

"Missing?" Bai Heng's heart jumped again.

Usually, I would always hear that some people who went to Wolong Mountain never returned. I heard it at the time, but now that my grandfather and Lu Qi are also missing, Bai Heng finally felt anxious.

"Although Young Master Lu and his party are not eye-catching, they are still strangers. There are still some people in the town who remember them."

"Do you know when they left?"

"I'm not sure about this, but I know where they went."

"Crouching Dragon Mountain?"

"Yes, I asked a few people, and they all said that they saw Young Master Lu and took people to Wolong Mountain."

At this time, the head of the guards also came back.

The news brought back was similar to what the boy had heard, but in more detail, and the chief guard also found Orion who might have seen Lu Qi and his party for the last time.

The Orion looked about mid-forties, with a cramped face, not well-dressed, but not bad at all, at least tidy and clean, not even a single patch.

"Uncle, don't be nervous, we just want to ask, I heard that you met my third brother a while ago?" Bai Heng asked in a slow tone.

Originally, Orion saw that the chief guard and his party were not easy to mess with, and felt a little uneasy, but who knew that the person in charge was actually a baby, he was surprised, but relaxed a lot.

"Yes, I have seen the appearance this little brother described just now." Orion rubbed his hands, and replied cautiously.

"Oh? Uncle, please tell me in detail." Bai Heng asked Orion to sit down, and asked about the whereabouts of Lu Qi and his party in detail. ...

It turned out that Orion was supposed to be the guide of Lu Qi and others, but when he was about to set off, something happened at home, and he couldn't leave for a while, so he recommended another friend who was also Orion to Lu Qi.

Before Lu Qi and others set off, they stayed at Orion's house for one night, so when Orion heard the description from the chief guard who went to inquire about it, he said with certainty that he had seen Lu Qi.

It's just that Orion doesn't know the whereabouts of Lu Qi and others, but only knows their route into the mountain.

In fact, even if Bai Heng and others didn't come to Meizhen, Orion planned to report to the officials.

After all, his friend had also been missing for a month.

So Orion would go around Wolong Mountain every day, but he didn't dare to go too deep, and always looked for people on the outside.

This search allowed him to find a lot of clues, at least he determined the route for his friend and Young Master Lu to enter the mountain.

It's just that he didn't dare to enter the mountain alone, so he could only wander back at the foot of the mountain every day.

Now that Bai Heng and his party came, Orion also wanted to follow them into the mountain to find them.

After discussing with the chief guard, Bai Heng decided to hire Orion as a guide. After all, Orion is a local, and he often goes to Wolong Mountain on weekdays. Although it is only a shallow periphery, it is much better than outsiders like them.

When Orion heard about it, he immediately patted his chest and said, "Don't worry, young master, just leave it to me."

The head guard and Orion discussed the departure date, and Orion went back to prepare.

But when everyone looked back, there was a dispute over whether to bring Bai Heng with them.

The chief guard suggested that he take half of the manpower and Orion into the mountain to search for people, while Bai Heng took the other half of the guards to wait in Meizhen.

Bai Heng was reluctant at first, but after thinking about it carefully, with his current stature, if he really entered the mountain, he would be a burden, not to mention helping, as long as he didn't make trouble.

At that time, the guards will have to use their minds to protect themselves, so they might as well stay in Meizhen peacefully.

So after thinking about it, even though Bai Heng was unwilling, he could only agree to wait in Mei Town.

…………

When the day agreed with Orion arrived, Bai Heng went to the yard rented by Lu Qi early.

Lu Qi's confidant among the people staying in the yard saw Bai Heng coming, so he quickly welcomed him in and settled him in the guest room not far from Lu Qi's room.

Others who have never met Bai Heng have heard of his name. After all, Lu Qi came to Meizhen this time to find Mr. Bai.

Lu Qi and Mr. Bai had nothing to do with each other. If it wasn't because of his friendship with Bai Heng, why bother to get involved in this muddy water?This shows the friendship between Lu Qi and Bai Heng, so the servants who stayed behind did not dare to neglect Bai Heng.

Hearing that Bai Heng also sent someone to go into the mountain to look for Lu Qi, the servants who stayed behind treated Bai Heng even more attentively. ...

Wolong Mountain

Lu Qi didn't know that Bai Heng had already arrived in Meizhen.

It has been a month since they were tied up on the mountain. During this month, Lu Qi almost lost contact with his subordinates.

He stays in old man Bai's room every day, processing herbs with old man Bai, and sometimes helps old man beat up when people in the village come to see a doctor.

Lu Qi has become a doctor for a long time, and has read a lot of medical books since he was a child. Some rough medical theories and common herbal medicines are not difficult for him. A lot of basics.

Therefore, following the old man's side, he got started very quickly without any fuss.

On this day, Lu Qi squatted by the medicine garden in front of the house by himself, processing the freshly picked herbs.

He kept moving his hands, but his lowered eyes were quietly looking around.

When he caught sight of the faint shadow by the corner of the wall, he sighed silently.

This stockade is really guarded against them, it has been a month, and people are still watching him and the old man every day.

In the past month, I don't know what happened to others?Those who work can go home every day, but he has never seen his own people.

Could it be that...?

Lu Qi felt chills in his heart, and planned to have a good discussion with the old man at night.

In the evening, after Lu Qi and the old man finished their meal, taking advantage of the sound of the old man pounding the medicine, Lu Qi quickly dipped his finger in the water in the cup and wrote a few words on the table.

The old man didn't stop, he just shook his head.

Lu Qi dipped some more water and wrote a few more words.

Seeing this, the old man's face was also a little dignified, but after a while, he still shook his head.

Lu Qi was a little anxious and was about to continue writing. The old man put down the medicine pestle and said, "Boy Lu, put these away and be careful not to get wet."

"Yes." Lu Qi paused, got up and took the pestle and mortar into the small room dedicated to medicinal materials.

The old man continued to pack other herbs, and after Lu Qi came out, he gave him a look and said, "Don't be impatient."

Lu Qi rubbed his nose, obediently let the old man talk.

At this moment, there was a faint commotion outside.

The old man immediately stopped what he was doing. He and Lu Qi glanced at each other, got up and walked towards the door at the same time, but just after reaching the door, someone from the village came over with a smile and said, "Don't worry, old man, but Some animals fell into the trap, it's getting late, let's go back and rest."

Just as he finished speaking, there was another loud noise in front of him, and immediately after that, there was still a flame bursting out.

This time the man was also stunned, Lu Qi took the opportunity to take out a handkerchief from his sleeve, and directly covered the man's mouth and nose.

The man didn't expect that Lu Qi would suddenly get into trouble, he was covered upright, and fell limp to the ground without struggling a few times.

"Let's go." Seeing that Lu Qi had put him down, old man Bai pulled Lu Qi into the woods beside him.

The author has something to say: Oh~ the two of you will finally meet tomorrow, it's too slow, we need to speed up...
