The plague in Xianglan finally got better with the concerted efforts of the imperial doctors. Wen Yuan thought that he should not stay here for a long time, "Let's hit the road in a few days, and hurry to Eryang Mountain while the weather is good."
Five days later, she took Shen Huaiyan and others on the road again. Wen Yuan believed that Xianglan's matter could be handled well by the newly appointed county magistrate. After getting along with each other for so long, Wen Yuan believed in Zhou Tianrun's ability.
Talking about Xianglan's experience on the way, Wen Yuan expressed many emotions, "I hope we won't encounter such problems wherever we go next."
Wen Yuan feels deeply pained every time he sees the people trying their best to survive.
"Probably not. This time we will go directly to Eryang Mountain. A Yuan will have to practice there for a long time."
"What about the spiritual roots? Is there any hope of growing them?" Wen Yuan was always concerned about this issue.
But Quan's answer is the same every time. Wait a minute. Don't rush this kind of thing, you have to be patient...
Wen Yuan was tired of hearing this rhetoric. Sometimes she even doubted whether Quan was telling the truth and whether she still had a chance to become a cultivator.
"Good Samaritans, help me..." Not long after the carriage started on the road, everyone heard a woman's cry for help on the side of the road.
The voice didn't sound loud, and the breath was weak, as if it was about to disappear at any time, "Help me..."
Wen Yuan asked the driver to stop, and jumped out first to look for the sound, "I heard the sound near here, how could it not be there?"
Finally, Wen Yuan found the person asking for help in a deep pit on the ground, a girl with a delicate face who was estimated to be fifteen or sixteen years old. "Kind lady, please save me..."
"How could you fall into such a deep pit... I can't save you. I'll find someone to come." Wen Yuan called over Shen Huaiyan and the three of them.
She asked Shen Huaiyan to go down and rescue the people by name.
Shen Huaiyan jumped into the pit, hugged the girl with one hand and quickly came up using Qinggong.
After being placed on the ground, the girl kept covering her arm and crying out in pain, "Kind girl, can you please take me to the nearest doctor's house...it's not that far away, just two miles away."
Wen Yuan was kind-hearted and agreed without saying a word, and asked Chunhua to help the girl onto the carriage.
"Kind girl, my name is Liansheng, and my family lives in the village in front of me. If you don't mind, please come to my house and let me cook a meal to thank you."
"We are in a hurry and have to leave as soon as we get you to the doctor, but we accept your wishes." Wen Yuan politely declined the girl's proposal.
But the woman grabbed Wen Yuan's hand and told her not to reject her, "My father said that every drop of kindness is repaid by a spring. If I hadn't met a few people today, I'm afraid I would have been eaten by wild beasts in the end. "
Wen Yuan felt that something was fishy. This girl's hand was obviously injured like this, but she also said that she would cook for them. And seeing that she was holding his hand now, there was no problem at all. Wen Yuan became more suspicious.
She was also a person who liked to join in the fun and meddle in other people's business. Seeing that this woman had no good intentions, Wen Yuan thought for a while and agreed, "Okay, Miss Liansheng's kindness is hard to refuse."
After accompanying her to see the doctor, Wen Yuan followed Liansheng to her so-called home.
Not to mention the remote location, this home can only be described with four words: "Miss Liansheng... do you live here alone?"
"Yes, my parents died early. I grow some vegetables here by myself and sell them in the city." Liansheng poured water for several people. It was just ordinary plain water. She didn't look like she could drink tea. of.
Soon a steaming meal of simple meals was served to the table by Liansheng, "They are all vegetables grown by myself, don't dislike them."
For some reason, Wen Yuan always felt that she was looking forward to them using their chopsticks, and kept glancing at her, "What are you looking at?"
"It's nothing, I'm just afraid it won't suit your taste." Liansheng's eyes dodge, which further confirmed Wen Yuan's suspicion.
The three men all smelled that there was something added to the dish, but when Wen Yuan ate it without saying a word, they followed suit and put the food into their mouths.
They are just some low-grade intoxicating drugs. How can you kill them by eating them? Worse, there is still a spring here.
Liansheng watched with satisfaction as several people ate the food he had drugged, "Eat more."
The effect of this drug is slow and it will take a while to take effect. She kept adding vegetables to Wen Yuan's bowl, "Thank you, miss. Eat more, more."
The girl thought that the time was almost up, and kept observing Wen Yuan's face. Seeing that she was already drowsy, she knew that the effect of the medicine had begun to take effect, and she was just waiting for Wen Yuan to fall asleep.
Wen Yuan had already taken the elixir refined by Quan, so she was just pretending at this moment, but Chun Hua was really dizzy...
When the other three people saw her pretending to be drugged and fell on the table, they all fell down one after another. This acting skill was a competition.
"Humph, come out." As soon as Liansheng finished speaking, several tall and thick men appeared from outside the house.
The men all stared at Wen Yuan, "This little girl is so exciting, you still have something to do."
Several people are in the same group as this woman, specifically to deceive these passers-by. If they are men, they will seduce them with their beauty. If they are women, they will pretend to be injured just like today, trick people into this place, drug them and make them faint before proceeding. Next step.
A few people were about to drag Wen Yuan and Chunhua to another place to play first, when Quan woke up first and punched the man in the face, "You will encounter ghosts if you walk too much at night."
Then Shen Huaiyan and Chi Zhaoyue also opened their eyes one after another, and the three of them worked together to capture a room full of people, "How many people have you killed by staying here? Tell me!"
"No...it didn't hurt much...just...just a few..."
The leading man was beaten until his nose was bruised and his face was swollen, and his voice changed.
"How many?" Shen Huaiyan pressed his head harder to the ground, "Ah Yue, go report to the official and bring these lewd thieves to justice."
When someone came from the Yamen, a group of men and the woman had all been tied up with ropes and were kneeling on the ground. "These thieves have always been a thorn in the side of our Yamen. This time, it's thanks to a few knights."
This was just a minor incident on the road. After dealing with this group of people, Wen Yuan and the others continued on their way.
"That woman's acting skills are so bad. If she didn't show it so obviously, maybe I would actually believe it." Wen Yuan was laughing in anger as he recalled what happened just now in the carriage.
Because they were delayed for a while by this incident, and the heavy rain continued, Wen Yuan and the others had to interrupt their trip.
Arriving outside a farm, Wen Yuan knocked on the door. The door was opened by two old men in their late teens, "What's the matter, girl?"
"Old man, we are on our way to Eryang Mountain, but the rain is really heavy. Can we stay here for one night? There are three men, two women, and a driver."
She moved away a little so that the two old men inside could see the others clearly.
After seeing the faces of several people clearly, the couple let them into the home. "At first glance, these two people are not ordinary people. Not to mention their extraordinary temperament, even their appearance is one of the best among people."
"We are from the capital, sorry for bothering you, this is a small kindness, I hope you two can accept it." Wen Yuan took out a lot of money and saw it in the old couple's hands, "Don't shirk it, otherwise we will not be able to Very kind."
Under such a heavy downpour, he could only sit around and have nothing to do. Wen Yuan simply chatted with the old man, "Is it just you and grandpa? Why don't you see other family members?"
"I have a son." For some reason, Wen Yuan always felt that the old couple were unhappy when they mentioned their son.
"Then what is he doing? Why doesn't he see others coming back?"
The old woman sighed, "What I do is not a good job, so don't ask, girl, just go to bed early."
After blowing out the oil lamp, the old woman left the room, and Wen Yuan fell asleep peacefully.
In the middle of the night, the heavy rain continued. Wen Yuan could clearly sense that someone had entered the farmyard. The door of the farm was violently pushed open. She hurriedly hid in the corner and did not dare to speak.
"Where are the people..." The man who pushed the door in burped, and the strong smell of alcohol spread into Wen Yuan's nose.
Why are you still a drunkard... Wen Yuan tried not to make a sound, hiding in the darkness with Chunhua's arm.
"This damn old man..." The man took another sip of wine from the wine bottle. Seeing that the wine bottle was empty, he threw the thing to the ground, and the broken pieces were scattered everywhere.
The sound alarmed the old couple. They quickly put on their clothes and came out of the room. They grabbed the man's hand and said, "What are you doing! Stop it!"
If he didn't stop, everything in the farm would be smashed.
At this time, the man pointed at the old man and cursed endlessly, "You old guy, didn't you say I had money when I came back this time? Where's the money? Where's the money? You took it all for yourself?"
He rummaged around in the room for a long time. He couldn't find it for a long time and started to fumble in the pockets of the two old men. "Didn't you say they have money?! Where is the money?!" When he couldn't find what he wanted, the man screamed loudly. , it looks like he is still going to take action.
The fist that was about to fall was stopped by Shen Huaiyan. He pinched the man's arm and squeezed the man until he screamed, "Who dares to touch me! Do you know who my eldest brother is!"
"You...didn't you say you had to change your ways? Why are you still hanging around with those ignorant gangsters?!"
"Bah!" The man spat on the old man's face, "What right do you, an old man, have to say this? If you couldn't give me a good life, would I have gone to the local gangster? It's not all your fault. !”
How could there be such a bastard in the world? Wen Yuan thought that this person must be the son of the old couple, so he didn't let Shen Huaiyan do anything harsh.
She asked Chunhua to light the oil lamp in the room, and then she could clearly see the man's appearance. Isn't this one of the gangsters in the morning...
Why were they released so quickly?
The man also had a vivid memory of her appearance, "It turns out it was you, a stinky bitch, who caused me to be arrested and beaten alive by the officials for more than ten dozen years."
"You only played a dozen games and you were let go?"
