The old man became more and more excited as he talked. He seemed to be particularly disdainful of Qin Meng and dismissed her as useless:
"Before I saw her, I was just wandering around the village with nothing to do all day long!"
The old man's words became increasingly ugly.
There were some warm-hearted people in the crowd who began to defend Qin Meng: "Uncle Lin... No matter how Xiao Qin is, you injured your leg in the past two years, wouldn't it be better for her to give you physical therapy?"
"You're going too far!"
Uncle Lin's face immediately turned red after being refuted, but he still refused to be convinced: "Who said it was Qin Meng who cured me? She massaged me every day, saying it was to activate blood circulation, but she never felt better. If it weren't for Yun Shao Come on, give me a few injections, I'm afraid my legs will be useless in a few years."
Lin Bo leaned on the ground with the crutch in his hand. His dissatisfaction with Qin Meng was clear, and he was full of disgust: "Why don't you let others talk about your poor medical skills?"
Hearing this, Gu Beihuan's body suddenly felt cold.
These villagers are accustomed to flattering others and suppressing others, and at this moment... Qin Meng is the target of their influence.
"Have you said enough?" The voice was not loud, but it was so cold that it almost made people tremble subconsciously.
Most of the villagers recognized Gu Beihuan as the newlywed husband brought back by Qin Meng.
This little Gu looks so kind and cheerful!
When you don't want to be angry, you can be so bluffing.
The villagers dispersed in a hurry, leaving Gu Beihuan looking deeply at the figure of Nan Yunshao who had disappeared at the entrance of the village in the distance.
Is she that woman?
Thinking that he still has to find Qin Meng.
Gu Beihuan didn't stay any longer and quickly walked towards Qin Meng's home.
It's getting dark gradually.
Qu Jian and his wife Wang Yumei had already cooked.
But he never waited until he came back.
Qu Jian was anxious and walked towards the entrance of the village. He saw Gu Beihuan's figure appearing in front of him from a distance, and he immediately greeted him.
When he got closer, Qu Jian realized that he was alone: "Where's Xiao Meng, didn't he come back with you?"
"Didn't she come back?" Hearing this, Gu Beihuan also asked in surprise.
After he left from the river, he immediately went to Qin Meng's house.
But Gu Beihuan searched everywhere and couldn't find Qin Meng.
Hearing this, Qu Jian immediately shook his head, his eyes full of worry: "She's not at home, and she hasn't come back either? Where can this girl go?"
After saying that, Qu Jian frowned and seemed to have thought of something: "She must have gone to collect medicine!"
"I have told her many times that she, a woman, should not go to the back mountain easily. The back mountain is very dangerous and there are wolves, but she just doesn't listen and spends every day tossing those medicinal materials..."
"Back Mountain? Where is it? I'll go find her."
When Gu Beihuan heard the word 'danger', he immediately interrupted Qu Jian's words.
"The back mountain is in that direction."
Qu Jian just raised his hand and immediately put it down: "Forget it, let's go look for it together."
Qin Meng has been gone for a long time and has not returned, and everyone's heart is filled with a layer of gloom.
the other side.
Qin Meng is still looking for Tianxincao.
She had just combed through most of the mountain, and now she could barely see the area in front of her.
Like other places, there were only some scattered newly grown herbs swaying in the wind, and Qin Meng couldn't help but fall into deep thought.
The original back mountain was full of rare medicinal materials.
It had only been a few months since she last came here. Not only had most of the medicinal materials been picked, but the vegetation seemed to have been destroyed a lot, making it difficult to recycle the medicinal materials.
Obviously, the people who picked the medicinal materials did not know how to do it and damaged the roots when taking away the medicinal materials!
If this continues, I'm afraid it will be difficult for a single herb to grow on this back mountain in the future.
Who is so wicked?
Qin Meng's eyes suddenly turned cold. She must catch the person behind this!
However, it was getting late now. If we stayed any longer, it would be completely dark and we would not be able to return home.
Qin Meng didn't want to think about it anymore, took out the flashlight he had prepared in advance, and immediately accelerated his speed to continue looking for Tianxincao.
This time, she quickly found the only Tianxin grass in a stone wall.
I guess I was spared because of my relatively remote appearance.
Just when Qin Meng packed up the Tianxincao and was about to go back, he heard someone's voice coming from the front.
There were about seven or eight of them. Their accents did not sound like those from Paddy Village. They were obviously outsiders.
Thinking of this, Qin Meng immediately hid in the stone wall on one side.
A fat man picked up a flashlight and illuminated his eyes, and the newly grown medicinal herbs appeared in his field of vision. His face was suddenly full of smiles.
"The timing for my brothers to come here today is not bad. This herb has just grown. I'll pick it up and sell it later. I'm sure it will fetch a good price!"
There was a tall and lanky man underneath, who immediately agreed: "Yes, it's better to listen to you, brother, otherwise we won't be able to make this money."
"You are the only one who knows how to flatter me, so let's get down to business!"
The fat man said and ordered the other people to start taking action.
Soon, they uprooted the herbs that had just grown in front of them one by one.
Qin Meng looked on with heartache and wanted to rush out to stop him.
But she also thought that there were so many of them now that she might not be able to escape unscathed if they fought hard.
This is definitely not the first time this group of people have done this kind of thing... Next time, Qin Meng will definitely try to catch a turtle in a jar!
Thinking of this, she planned to go around the stone wall and go back down the mountain from the other direction.
In order to avoid those people, Qin Meng turned off the flashlight.
There was no light source. Qin Meng stepped on a raised stone and couldn't stand still. Severe pain suddenly came from his ankle. He yelled "Ah" and Qin Meng fell to the ground.
Oops, my foot seems to be sprained!
There seems to be severe pain in the waist. It seems that the waist sprained yesterday was aggravated by the fall.
It was a leaky house and it rained all night. Qin Meng held on, but fell back heavily in the end.
The group of people in the distance who were concentrating on looking for herbs heard her scream and immediately looked in this direction: "Who is it?"
Upon hearing the sound, Qin Meng immediately moved his body and hid behind a big tree.
Her movement was too big, and the small branch she touched suddenly began to sway, making a "swish" sound.
The fat man suddenly frowned, looked ahead with wary eyes and said, "Why do I feel like there's someone over there? Thin man, go over and take a look."
"If we are discovered, our business will be ruined!"
The footsteps in his ears were getting closer and closer, and Qin Meng's heart jumped into his throat.
Is she really doomed this time?
