It is said that E Feiying was picked up from the Zhang Family Pharmacy and stayed with her father and Sima Tu at the Taiping audience in the town. Based on E Binghuan's friendship with Sima Tu, Miss E Wu should now be in the safest situation in the world. Therefore, everyone no longer worried about this willful young lady, and used all the saved thoughts to deal with possible situations that may come.
When this incident passed, before you knew it, the horizon was already crimson for the first time, and a glimmer of morning glow appeared on the eastern hillside. The hard-working people began to repeat yesterday's tedious work.
Perhaps because his petition was approved, his tense heart finally got a chance to relax a little. Doctor Zhang, the medical officer of Xiahe Town, woke up later than everyone else in the pharmacy for the first time since the initial results of the drug test that day.
But the first thing he remembered after opening his eyes was to run to see the patients being treated and ask around about the status of the medicinal materials. Some patients had been consulted once, but he thought they had not been consulted before, so he asked again; some medicinal materials were checked several times, but he still checked them one by one. He even walked around the pharmacy, saying that he couldn't find his little cousin. Finally, after someone reminded him, he remembered what happened last night.
Zhang Yi, who was obviously the last to wake up and do things, suddenly became the busiest person. It can be seen that his level of fatigue has reached a worrying level.
Seeing that his friends and fellow villagers outside the pharmacy were all ready to go, Zhang Yi felt very sorry. So I quickened my pace, organized useful manuscripts, and prepared to assign and explain today's tasks. At this moment, several familiar curses came from not far away.
"Slave dog, walk faster!" This angry voice came from a simple carriage carried by four Taoists. The man on the seat was kicking and yelling at the brokers like he was showing off, and said: "If you can't catch up, I will use you to test the knife!"
The four people under the sedan quickly quickened their pace and headed straight to the door of Zhang Family Pharmacy, followed closely by more than ten Taoists who were similarly dressed and uniformly dressed - they were all wearing blue shirts and white clothes, with a little red on their foreheads.
When the sedan arrived, it was slowly put down. At this moment, the people in front of the pharmacy were able to recognize clearly that the person on the sedan in front of them turned out to be Miss E Wu who had been staying at the Zhang Family Pharmacy these days. It's just that at this time, she has her hair in a high bun, a gray-white feather dress, and a light red makeup on her face. She seems to have been carefully dressed up, which is completely different from the man's attire before.
"Cousin...cousin?" Zhang Yi couldn't help but ask why when he saw that the other party had to come early in the morning even though his legs were inconvenient.
E Feiying only held on to a path beside her, slowly passed through the crowd in front of the pharmacy, crossed the threshold, and invited Zhang Yi, Bai Feng and other friends to talk for a while.
After closing the door, Miss E Wu was eager to take off the heavy bun on her head, but she was forced to do so in front of a large public, so she did not care about her image so much.
"Alas! This damn place doesn't even have any clothes that fit me! I have to put on those Taoist nuns' clothes and let those maids and servants play with my hair, otherwise I won't be allowed to go out! They say they're afraid that I'll lose the E family's face... It’s so depressing!”
After saying that, Zhang Yi couldn't wait to ask: "What can happen that can make you, cousin, mobilize so much?"
"Actually, I asked Taoist Master Wu Gu last night to send people from the Taoist temple to help us." E Feiying carefully fiddled with the hair accessories on her head, as if she was very uncomfortable. Feeling like this, he said: "Unexpectedly, he actually agreed casually. What do you mean, 'Since the daughter of a close friend has something to ask for, how can I excuse myself?' No, those people are now under your control, cousin." !" Miss E Wu imitated Sima Tu's tone and looked lively.
"Is this... really reliable?" Zhao Kuo on the side also put down the medicine basket and began to recall the confrontation with Sima Tu last night and said, "In my opinion, we'd better be more careful!"
E Feiying argued: "But there is no need for him to frame us! Moreover, those Taoists are all proficient in medicine, which can make our work more effective with half the effort."
"What Miss E said is not unreasonable. If it puts everyone in danger, their Taiping Road will not be much better." The young swordsman replied thoughtfully.
"Brother Feng, I..." Murong Yan suddenly said suspiciously: "I think we should stay here to avoid other accidents... By the way, we can accompany Sister Ying and help the people in the pharmacy. busy……"
As soon as the words fell, E Feiying stood up quickly, walked in front of Murong Yan, held her arm with her, and said happily: "This is a good suggestion. I'm not here just because you are here. If you all go out, I won't be here." It’s no different from being in a Taoist temple…”
After a while, everyone decided to let Xiaohu take the village officials and Taoist priests who came to help to collect medicinal materials, while they stayed in the pharmacy to prepare for the continuous flow of patients.
As time went by, baskets of medicine were delivered to the pharmacy from outside, and they were neatly placed in the back hall. Compared to yesterday when most of the useless herbs had to be discarded from a basket of medicines, this time there were many baskets that did not require such strenuous selection and were only waiting for the medicine boy to come and prepare them.
With the participation of those Taoists, the efficiency of collecting herbs has certainly improved a lot. However, there is always a faint uneasiness lingering in people's hearts. If you ask what kind of uneasiness it is, it is naturally the sinister rumors about Sima Tu. Is it true that as Sima Tu said, those sensational rumors are just rumors?
It is a fact that Taiping Road entertains poor people and provides them with food and clothing; it is also a fact among facts that it confuses the people and confuses the public with its monstrous words.
These two seemingly contradictory aspects were actually displayed to the Taiping Taoists at the same time in this short period of time, which is really puzzling. But if you think about it for a moment, you can begin to see its clues. All these actions are done to control the minds of Taoists to achieve more evil purposes.
After understanding the nature of things, people will no longer be used by them, but will instead use them to control others. In the pyramid of superstition, those in higher positions are never as pious as those in lower positions. This is the foundation of Taiping Dao.
However, this truth can only be felt most strongly by those who have experienced it. Perhaps tonight, the flames of sin will begin to burn blazingly forever...
With all kinds of uneasiness in their hearts, those young people spent another busy day. Taking advantage of the seemingly peaceful and peaceful night, I fell asleep sadly, but I didn't know that the crisis that had been hidden would finally be staged at this time.
