"Yiyi, bring those strong men over, I have something to ask." Song Pingcun interrupted Shan Xi who was still talking. I am afraid that Mr. Shan has had enough today. Sure enough, as soon as he opened his mouth, Shan Xi stopped consciously this time, without any lingering meaning.
"Mr. Song, let me go! Miss Liu was very tired just now. You can just ask me to do such vulgar work from now on." Wen Keshu stepped forward very wisely and with a respectful attitude.
Liu Yiyi glanced at it, but she understood the interest and did not stop him. She nodded to Song Pingcun who looked over.
In the blink of an eye, Wenkeshu landed from the air with two strong men in one hand.
Song Pingcun had to admire Shan Xi's ability to attack with words. The four of them were all paralyzed with no love.
"Master, there is an acquaintance among these four people." Liu Yi leaned close to one of them and waved his hand gently. The man came to his senses, but was extremely nervous. He looked around and saw Dan Xi on the side and exclaimed: "Ah! Don't come over."
The trembling voice showed how much impact Shan Xi had on their hearts just now, and he had become a demon in their hearts. Song Pingcun looked carefully and realized why Liu Yiyi said he was an acquaintance. Surprisingly, it was the villager surnamed Zhang who was burrowed into the belly by golden leech a few years ago. His life was in danger and was saved by Song Pingxun at the Shennong Zongyi Dojo.
It was just that it was described as haggard at the time, but now it has returned to its normal appearance. However, the man at that time did not remember Song Pingcun. Later, Song Pingcun visited the medical clinic and the villager recuperated at home. Naturally, he did not recognize the benefactor who saved his life. It's such a coincidence that I met you here.
Liu Yiyi asked Dan Xi to go to the back of the carriage and took action again to help him regain his consciousness. Tell him in time that the young master in front of him is the "miraculous doctor" who saved his life.
The villagers who came to their senses hurriedly kowtowed and thanked him. When his father went to thank him, he was still recuperating. Three years had passed before he saw him for the first time. According to what his father told the miracle doctor, his lifespan was already long. More than a year left. I can still see my savior in my lifetime. Although I can't repay him, I can at least thank him in person.
"Does your village rely on this peach grove for its livelihood?" After asking, Song Pingcun found out that the villager's name was Zhang Daniu, who was from Zhangjia Village deep in the peach grove. Song Pingcun asked his doubts.
"It's been several generations to repay my benefactor. Our village has no fields and is full of peach trees. Except for people who come to harvest peach gum every year, we rely on hunting. Although we are not rich, we can still make ends meet." Zhang Da Niu also felt sad when talking about this.
According to the words left by the elders, Zhangjiacun originally made a living by farming and there were no hunters. Although there are ferocious beasts in the Daling Mountains, they are restricted by the Shennong Sect and rarely go down the mountain to hurt people. The tax burden of Pingyao City has never been The villagers could not survive, but they could still live in peace and quiet.
It's just that after the previous generations started planting peach trees, they lived in fear even though they had money income. Because those who harvest peach gum only care about the quantity of peach gum, they never care about the peach harvest, nor do they take it away. The villagers were willing to cut down the trees instead of planting them, but they were beaten and threatened, and it was impossible for the people in the village to move. This continued from generation to generation.
Fortunately, there is enough peach gum, and if you give enough money, if there is not enough peach gum, you will have to pay a big price. The villagers did not dare to slack off in fertilizing, cutting trees, and harvesting glue. They did not dare to be vague at all, which is why the peach trees are now huge, but the peach fruits are as small as plums.
Today they smelled the smell of burning peach gum, which was their lifeblood, so they hurried over from the village.
"Daniu, do you know who is here to collect peach gum?" Song Pingcun was very confused. The peach gum industry is quite long! According to this time, there should have been countless peach gums on the market, but even though he didn't care about the shops in Pingyao City, he didn't hear or see anyone selling peach gum at a cheap price.
"I don't know, generations of people don't dare to ask. Sometimes there is too much peach gum, and we will hide some so as not to have insufficient next time, but the other party seems to know that as long as the average can be reached. If things go on like this, We no longer ask who they are. The other party doesn't lower or increase the price, so we don't mind who they are. None of those who collect medicinal materials can collect so much at one time, and we don't dare to sell, because we are afraid When there is heavy rain or drought, there is no choice but to hide some private goods." There is bitterness in Zhang Daniu's narrative, but there is also joy.
However, Song Pingcun found it strange no matter what he heard. Peach trees were planted on a large scale to harvest peach gum on the edge of the Shennong Sect's sphere of influence. This matter has been going on for so long. Is it possible that the Shennong Sect didn't notice anything unusual?
"Daniu, are the people who came to your village to collect peach gum from the Shennong Sect?" Song Pingcun asked again.
"Probably not. They wrap themselves in black robes every time they come, no matter how cold or hot the weather is. If you hadn't asked me, the people in the village have issued a hush-hush order and cannot tell outsiders any news about them." Zhang Daniu I told Song Pingcun honestly.
"Yiyi, Sister Wen, what do you think of this matter?" Song Pingcun turned to ask Liu Yiyi and Wen Hui.
Liu Yiyi smiled and said, "Whatever the young master thinks is what it is."
Wen Hui was still thinking about how to answer, but when she heard what Liu Yiyi said, she also said, "Whatever Brother Cun thinks it should be."
Song Pingcun looked at the two girls, and then at Wenkeshu standing next to him. Wenkeshu turned his head and pretended to look away. Even if he had any ideas at this time, he would not be stupid enough to say anything.
Not to mention the red and green clothes, the meaning is self-evident.
Song Pingcun suddenly felt that Liu Yiyi seemed to have deliberately not said anything about the arrangements for this trip, leaving it all up to him. He took out the Shennong Sect's golden nanmu ring that had never been opened, and carefully examined it, finally seeing clearly what the space inside it looked like. Ten thousand fire attribute spiritual stones and hundreds of medicinal materials, including a message jade tablet.
He took out the jade tablet, poured spiritual energy into it, and prepared to enter his doubts, including the conjecture about the golden leech, but he held back as soon as his mind moved. The identity of the person the wood spirit killed made him hesitate.
Seeing that he suddenly stopped, Liu Yiyi stepped forward and said, "If the young master is worried about leaking, leave this matter to the slave family."
"Okay, but it's best not to disturb the lives of the villagers."
"Young master, wait for me for a while. I'll go back as soon as I can. I'll treat it as repaying the Shennong Sect for the sacrifices I've made over the past few years." Liu Yiyi flew up, but she didn't leave, but headed towards the peach forest.
Although the communication of spiritual thoughts is the most confidential, Wen Wushang's realm is not yet at the top level. There is no guarantee that a strange person like Song Pingcun will notice the abnormality. She went to the depths of the peach forest to avoid the few people around her. Once an external force intervenes in the spiritual communication between her and Wen Wushang, she will be able to know and distinguish it, so that no one will escape.
The leader of the Shennong Sect, Wen Wushang, just received a message from Liu Yiyi a few days ago about a traitor within the sect. Today, he received a message from Liu Yiyi about the border of the Wu Kingdom, which is also outside the sphere of influence of the Shennong Sect. , the news of cultivating peach gum in films was shocking for a while.
Song Pingcun and his party had already set out for seven days, but they had only traveled less than 200 miles. Although it was a carriage, it was obviously not a hurry at this speed. Why? Just when he was doubting, the chief elder of the House of Internal Affairs also sent a message, and the wooden ring of the guest elder Song Pingcun was finally opened.
From this point of view, Song Pingcun's cultivation level is at least above the Body Body Realm. This is not terrible! The scary thing is that this is just a basic judgment. Liu Yiyi can transmit his spiritual thoughts nearly two hundred miles away. This realm will not be lower than the Heshen realm. As for the Heshen realm, I don't know which realm it is.
When they met for the first time, Liu Yiyi said it was because of the portrait of the ancestor of the sect, but he would never refuse when he asked for it. It seemed that it was not simply that there was some secret in the portrait, but that he dared to do so only if he was sure of his strength. in this way.
Therefore, when Liu Yiyi conveyed Song Pingcun's message not to affect the survival of the villagers, he did not dare to make as big a show as searching for golden leech. The crisis of golden leech has indeed been effective since it was learned that relying on spiritual stones is effective. In the past few days, the disciples have been searching everywhere for the golden leech that slipped through the net, but there is no trace of it anymore. Perhaps the crisis is over, but a new problem has arisen regarding peach gum.
The sect is no longer trustworthy, but it is necessary to maintain contact with Miss Liu at all times. There is really no way, so we can only think of ways to use flying tools to arrange for someone to send the top flying boat to the Blue Star Continent. , but Liu Yiyi refused and said that he didn't need those crappy things, leaving Wen Wushang speechless for a while, but he didn't know what the opponent's trump card was.
They can only tell Liu Yiyi from a news channel that is not open to the public. If there is any problem, the Wen family has its own way to contact Wenhui and let Wenhui tell him.
It didn't take long for Liu Yiyi to return and nodded to Song Pingcun, indicating that it was done.
Song Pingcun then said to Zhang Daniu, who was still a little worried: "Brother Daniu, there is something I want to trouble you with."
"Miracle doctor, please tell me, although I, Zhang Daniu, don't have much time to live, these extra years are given by the miracle doctor. I can go up to the mountain of knives and to the sea of fire." Zhang Daniu spoke with simple and true feelings from the heart.
