Not long after the group of officers and soldiers left, they saw the ruins swept by the flames. Even though it was already dawn, there were still some determined people who wanted to take advantage of the bright sky to find those who were lucky enough not to be affected. of medicinal materials.
Unfortunately, not many kilograms of medicinal materials were found, but many traces of malicious arson in the pharmacy were found.
Those friends in the village found several tinder sticks that had not been completely burned from the ruins, which made everyone more and more convinced that all this was maliciously framed by someone behind the scenes.
Among the people searching among the rubbles was Bai Feng, and the woman who was inseparable from him. It is said that these two people took the lead in this seemingly meaningless behavior.
Everyone who had been grudged for a long time finally lost their temper and started to denounce loudly. They all looked at the young man standing in the middle and said that they wanted to seek justice for Zhang Family Pharmacy and Xiahe Town, but they had nothing to do. Take the guy and go to the county government to reason.
"Everyone! Please be patient. There is still one thing that cannot be explained clearly. Why is there a flame that becomes stronger the more water is poured on it? If the reason cannot be explained clearly, the right to speak is still in the theory of gods and ghosts in Taiping Dao. ." The young man raised the fire starter in his hand and continued: "How can such a thing that is merely similar in appearance be used as irrefutable evidence?"
As soon as he finished speaking, Murong Yan beside him responded: "Brother Feng, look!"
Following the direction pointed by the woman, Bai Feng saw the medical officer Zhang Yi and his cousin E Feiying who had been waiting outside the dormitory door for a long time.
Zhang Yi was seen walking slowly towards the young man, and E Feiying beside him followed suit. He first borrowed the fire from the opponent's hand and looked at it for a few times, and then advised others not to risk their lives for such an unprovoked thing, but to go back and take good care of their families.
After everyone dispersed, there were only a few people left here. Zhang Yi found a place to sit down, picked up a "thing" that looked like a medicinal material from the pile of waste, put it to his nose, smelled it, put it back to its original place, and then started to preach. : "Actually, I know that it's not surprising that those Taoists spend all day refining stones and elixirs, and they can make some strange things. But asking everyone to take risks for these things that have been burned to ashes is really against the way of a doctor. !”
"Cousin..." E Feiying crouched down and begged with all her strength: "As long as you say a word, I will go and explain everything to my father right away. He will never miss the old relationship between you and my family. I will give up and give up!"
Seeing the other party's disregard for his manners and identity, Zhang sighed and stood up to help each other, and replied: "Xiao Yingzi, Brother Bai, Murong Yanniang, you should not have come to this place and been involved in so many things. I Zhang How dare a country boy receive such great kindness?"
"Doctor Zhang means..." Bai Feng hesitated.
"I still remember that when I was young, I once said that I would save people all over the world by practicing medicine. Who would have thought that only today would I realize that 'the whole world is not the land of the king'. The lives of ordinary people like us have never been in our hands. Today. He can burn my medicinal materials, and he may burn my medicine shop tomorrow." After saying that, Zhang Yi couldn't help but said helplessly: "In such a world, the only thing that can save the world is the sword in Brother Bai's hand... …”
"I'm... just a nobody. I really don't deserve Doctor Zhang's praise."
"Hahaha, I just want to wish you all a safe journey..." As the conversation changed, Zhang Yi suddenly took out a handwritten letter with customs clearance stamped on the cover: "Take it and leave here with Mr. Zhao and the others as soon as possible. Right. Without a customs clearance letter proving that the body is not infected with the plague, no one is allowed to leave the town. And this letter can only be recognized by my signature."
Murong Yan looked at the letter, her brows suddenly knitted together, and she looked at the other person sadly, feeling that this was a farewell message. So he spoke: "Doctor Zhang, are you trying to drive us away?"
"Miss Murong, you are exaggerating." Zhang Yi replied: "It's just for everyone's safety. I really can't convince myself anymore to let you help me like this!"
"Yan'er, since Doctor Zhang has good intentions, we don't have to worry about it." Bai Feng saw that the other party's mood was abnormally fluctuating, so she persuaded him kindly.
E Feiying in front of her also said with confidence: "The Zhang family and the E family are cousins after all. Even without the help of Sister Murong, those bad guys would not dare to cause trouble again. Now my father has already sent some people to strengthen the defense. Sister Murong There is no need to worry about our safety.”
After finishing speaking, Bai Feng looked at the woman beside her with lowered eyebrows and nodded, and carefully took the handwritten letter. Just as she was about to thank Zhang Yi, Murong Yan snatched the handwritten letter, tore it in half without saying a word, and threw it to the ground.
"We can't leave! If we want to leave, let's all leave together!" Murong Yan cried out in pain, clutching her chest, looking at the young man, and moving her lips weakly, "Brother Feng... you know, if we leave, , everyone will die..."
Bai Feng subconsciously glanced at the string of copper bells fastened to his waist. This item that he had not noticed for a long time suddenly shook and vibrated violently again. Then, he saw the girl who was on the verge of fainting.
"Yan'er!" Bai Feng stepped away and hugged the opponent's head and waist, which almost hit the ground with broken sharp ridges.
Everyone else was panicked and didn't know what to say. Friends who had been sleeping soundly for a long time were also awakened by this strange incident and ran to the back hall to see what happened.
When Zhao Kuo, Ajuan and Zhao Xiaomei arrived, Murong Yan had already been helped into the dormitory to take a nap. After understanding the context of the matter, the three people who arrived later understood it better than the cousins. Because they know that this Xianbei girl has always hidden many secrets and stories.
According to Zhang Yi's diagnosis, perhaps this was just a matter of ordinary qi and blood rising to the point of fainting. But those friends who have been with Murong Yan for more than half a month clearly understand that this woman is far more sensitive to life than anyone else. Therefore, they believed that what Murong Yan just said was not alarmist.
After Zhao Kuo received the customs clearance souvenir, he also clarified his views and said: "Since my business has not been completed yet, how can I back down?"
"Brother Zhao really wants to do that business?" Bai Feng originally thought that the medicinal material business was just an excuse, but never thought that this was Zhao Kuo's plan from the beginning.
"As the saying goes, wealth is gained through danger. You must know that medicinal materials are always so scarce in Beizhen!"
After Ajuan and Zhao Xiaomei heard about it, they also followed their lover and brother and made up their minds to advance and retreat together with the people of Xiahe Town. But now, they want to see Murong Yan wake up.
After this strange thing happened in the early morning, it is no longer necessary to say who is the manipulator of the conspiracy, and its purpose gradually emerged. The most important thing now is how to counterattack a move without the opponent knowing what to do.
