When Li Ye returned to the pig yard with the rooster's blood.
Normal order has been restored here, only the blood stains on the walls that have not been completely cleaned still remind Li Ye of the tragedy that happened last night.
In the yard in front of the pig house.
A group of pigherders gathered together in a mess, and there were more than a dozen little pigherders with unfamiliar faces, asking questions with excited faces.
"They are the new swineherds recruited today, thirteen people in total."
Huang An reported to Li Ye.
Li Ye lamented the efficiency of the Su family. A group of pigherders had just died last night, and a new group had been quickly replenished today, as if there would never be a shortage of people in the world who were willing to come to the Su family to be slaves.
"You can't slack off in your ideological work. There is a lot of chaos outside now. We must be careful to prevent enemy spies and spies from infiltrating." Li Ye ordered with a serious look on his face.
He thought of the strangers in Taiping Town.
Huang An conscientiously carried out Li Ye's order and immediately summoned all the new pig farmers, including yesterday's pig farmers, to hold a meeting in the yard to instill loyalty to the Su family.
Maybe a lot of people died last night, and many swineherds were depressed and absent-minded.
Huang An discussed it with several old pigherders, and after consulting Li Ye, held an event for these little pigherders.
Let the new pig shepherds sit in a circle and have a heart-to-heart talk, telling them about the hardships of the world, scolding the corruption of the Wei Dynasty, scolding God for being blind, suffering from droughts for years, weird things, natural disasters and man-made disasters.
Huang An took the opportunity to tell them that the Su family was righteous and was willing to take them in as slaves to raise pigs, giving them a way to survive in this dark and troubled world. It was a blessing from the smoke coming from the ancestral graves.
The head shepherd, Li Ye, was kind and dedicated to the welfare of everyone. He used his monthly salary to bury or care for the dead pig shepherds. He was a rare good man.
From now on, I must swear allegiance to the Su family and to Chief Li Ye.
The effect is obvious.
Through heart-to-heart talks, a group of newly hired pig shepherds cried with red eyes, but their expressions were firm, and they were full of gratitude to the Su family, and their loyalty was greatly improved.
At the same time, he also respected and loved Li Ye, the young pig farm director, even more.
Huang An observed everyone's behavior and took note of the few pigherders who were new to the job today but had different expressions. He guessed that they were probably spies planted by the enemy or people with ulterior motives.
When assigning dormitories, Huang An deliberately placed them in a remote corner to make it easier for them to move and wait for them to take the bait.
"If you can make a contribution through this, your position as steward can be moved up again!"
In the captain's lounge, the damaged floor had been repaired. Huang An stood in front of the table and reported his arrangements to Li Ye, smiling innocently.
But his eyes are as shrewd as a fox.
Li Ye said with satisfaction: "I saw you right, Huang An. With you by my side, I feel relieved. If I become rich and famous in the future, I will never forget you."
Huang An was so excited when he heard this, he stamped his feet together, bowed 90 degrees and saluted, and said loudly: "Thank you, Director, for your cultivation. Huang An's heart will always beat only for you!"
He looked at Li Ye with bright eyes and full of affection.
Li Ye's hand holding the tea cup stiffened slightly, his Adam's apple rumbled, the tea went into his throat, he rolled his tongue, spit the tea leaves into the cup, waved his hand and said:
"Go ahead and see if there are any boars that need to be castrated!"
"Yes!" Huang An strode away.
Before leaving, he saw that there was no water in Li Ye's teacup, so he quickly added a glass of water before leaving.
Li Ye held the cup and walked around the room.
Through the open window, he looked at the few pigherders busy in the yard. They were the spies or spies Huang An mentioned who might be the enemy.
They were busy in the yard, sometimes looking around and sometimes communicating with each other. They behaved strangely and made secretive movements, but they could not escape Li Ye's eyes.
Li Ye had a smile on his lips and deep eyes.
After observing these new swineherds for a while, Li Ye gradually got an idea.
The ritual of demon sacrifice must be carried out at midnight. Li Ye still had time to rearrange the sacrificial supplies to prevent any mistakes.
An hour later.
Huang An came over to report that the boars that needed to be castrated had been prepared. The pig herder from the B-size pig yard next door sent someone to say that they also had a group of boars that needed to be castrated and asked Li Ye to help.
Li Ye packed his things and got ready, but suddenly felt dizzy, unsteady on his feet, and his body was still very cold.
When I looked in the mirror, I found that my face was blue, my eyes were black, I looked extremely haggard, and my condition was extremely poor.
Li Ye's heart tightened, and he suddenly thought of Feiyu Guard Captain He Chao, who had fallen ill at home, and Boss Liu of Liu Jixiang Paper Shop.
His current appearance is so similar to theirs.
"Ask Dr. Hu over quickly." Li Ye weakly ordered.
Huang An was worried when he saw that Li Ye had physical abnormalities. He helped Li Ye lie down, tucked him in, and hurried to find a doctor. At the same time, he scolded the pigherder who came to the B-size pig farm next door to urge Li Ye to castrate the pigs. After a meal, let’s come back tomorrow.
The swineherd cursed and left.
The Su Mansion has a doctor who specializes in treating slaves. People call them Dr. Hu.
He has a wonderful rejuvenation technique. Although he signed a slave contract to be a slave in the Su family, he is highly used and often visits the medicine refining pavilion in the inner courtyard of the Su family.
It was a place for the people of the Su family to make elixirs. It was heavily guarded. Doctor Hu could go in and out, which showed his status. Ordinary servants couldn't invite him.
But Doctor Hu had eaten the pig whip given by Li Ye, and he had a deep memory of Li Ye, the new pig herdsman, and he had a good impression of him. When he heard that Li Ye was sick, he hurried over with a medicine box. He did not accept Huang An's tea and walked in. Go straight to the bed.
Seeing that Li Ye was about to get up, he quickly asked him to lie down, and then quickly felt his arm for pulse.
"Doctor Hu, can you tell what disease I have?"
Li Ye asked weakly, panting slightly. Doctor Hu glanced at Huang An who was standing next to him, but hesitated to speak.
Huang An hurriedly said: "I forgot to add food to the pigs."
He opened the door wisely and came out.
As soon as he left, Li Ye asked again: "Divine Doctor Hu?"
Doctor Hu had a goatee and was thin. He was feeling his pulse, twirling his beard and shaking his head. His brows were knotted, and he sighed one after another, which made Li Ye feel uneasy and his face was tense.
Don’t be afraid of Chinese medicine laughing.
I am afraid that the Chinese medicine doctor will frown and shake his head.
After a long time, Doctor Hu sighed: "Get ready for the funeral!"
Um? !
Li Ye's eyes suddenly widened, and he sat up in shock as he was dying.
I was fine in the afternoon, why did I suddenly stop? !
However, Divine Doctor Hu told him seriously that this was caused by Yin evil entering the body, which had damaged the lungs and invaded the heart. There was no cure, and no medicine or stone could cure it.
"Moreover, Director Li seems to have been poisoned by a strange poison. This poison is like a living thing. It can actually move within the body and eat away at your vitality."
Doctor Hu frowned and said, wondering who would poison Li Ye.
And this method is sinister and ruthless.
When Li Ye heard that someone had poisoned him, a figure quickly flashed through his mind...but in the end he eliminated them one by one.
"Huh? Is it that old guy?!"
Li Ye squinted his eyes and thought of the old lame man he met today. He opened his mouth and said that he was not going to die soon.
This person is the most suspicious.
Doctor Hu gave Li Ye a prescription, saying it could delay the disease. Then he stood up to leave. Li Ye took out a rare high-grade pig whip from his bedside table and gave it to Doctor Hu.
Doctor Hu doesn't like pork whip soaked in wine, but he likes pork whip stir-fried with chili pepper and eaten with rice.
Seeing the pig whip given by Li Ye, it was a rare high-quality one. His eyes lit up and his face was filled with a smile. He looked at Li Ye and said hesitantly:
"I have some friendship with Mr. Li from the Su Family Alchemy Pavilion. Mr. Li is a master of alchemy and has extraordinary medical skills. If he is willing to diagnose and treat you, you may be saved."
Seeing the joyful look on Li Ye's face, Doctor Hu added: "Mr. Li is a member of the Demon-Slayer Su family. He has a high seniority and is in charge of the medicine refining pavilion. He has a respected position. He may not be willing to diagnose and treat you. You have to be mentally prepared." .”
Li Ye nodded, called Huang An, and ordered him to send Doctor Hu away.
"Chief, your body..."
After Huang An sent Doctor Hu off, he returned and asked, with a worried look on his face. On the way just now, he asked Doctor Hu about Li Ye's condition, and Doctor Hu actually didn't miss a word.
Li Ye waved his hand and refused to say anything more. He asked him to grab the medicine and boil it before bringing it to him. He drank it hot immediately and broke out in a hot sweat. His body felt much more relaxed.
But when I look in the mirror, my face is still blue, my eyes are black, and the evil spirits and toxins in my body are still there.
"Dr. Hu can't save me. The only one who can save me is myself."
Li Ye pondered.
As for going out to find the old cripple, Li Ye shook his head. The other party obviously had bad intentions.
With his eyes closed, in the unknown space of his mind, the Demonic Dao Fruit was suspended like a black magic sun, exuding an evil and unpredictable aura, and was densely covered with shrines, arranged in a pyramid shape.
There is a shadow on the top of the shrine, and it is Zhiqiang.
"The Devil's Dao Fruit is mysterious and can enchant all living beings, so it's easy to cure diseases and survive."
"Tonight, enchant Zhiqiang and transform into the demon Zhu Bajie, and everything will be hopeful!"
Li Ye murmured in his heart, his eyes reflected the beating light of the oil lamp on the table, full of hope and expectation.
He struggled to get up, opened the cabinet, and took out the demon ritual sacrifices one by one.
It's getting late.
Dusk fell over the pig yard.
Huang An was sent back to rest by Li Yeping.
Under the eaves of the pig house, several old pig shepherds turned on the night lights one by one. In the dim pig pen, uncastrated boars and sows were climbing across.
Very intense.
The castrated boar lay lazily, losing interest in everything except eating, yawning and squinting to gain weight.
In the shepherd's lounge.
Li Ye dragged his weak body, carried the devil's sacrificial supplies, closed the door, and walked quietly to the depths of the pig yard.
