"Drink the medicine, drink the medicine."
"Drinking the medicine not only helps you work more energetically, but also prevents you from catching wind and cold."
While everyone was delivering crops to their homes, Zhao Ping set up a stall outside the door and shouted at the top of his lungs.
It immediately attracted the attention of the villagers.
But no one paid any attention to him, and even whispered some gossip.
"Is this boy from the Zhao family crazy because of his poverty? He is actually selling medicine at home? He is not a medical officer, so isn't he afraid of being arrested by the government and put in jail?"
"Our place is remote, and the village chief Yunman is his apprentice. If no one reports him, who will take care of him?"
"Have you forgotten? This boy from the Zhao family is a poison doctor. He can poison even tigers. The medicine he prepares is probably poison. Who dares to eat it?"
"That's right, let's stay away quickly to avoid being poisoned."
"Yeah."
Those working farmers, instead of taking the medicine, actually stayed further away.
Originally, it would be much closer to cross the road from Zhao Ping's house, but in the end, those people would rather walk the distance of two more yards than to avoid Zhao Ping.
It's like he is the god of plague.
Zhao Ping was dumbfounded.
"Master, what should we do? They don't take medicine. If they catch the cold, they will die."
Yunman was anxious.
"What can I do?"
Zhao Ping was also quite helpless, "Send the medicine to Xia Cun and see if they drink it."
He never expected that after the medicine was boiled, no one would drink it.
I can't get angry and throw away the medicine.
We didn’t produce many medicinal materials in the first place, so if we waste one, we will lose one.
Zhao Ping is well aware of the pain of finding a medicine that is hard to find.
"Boy from the Zhao family, don't give it away yet, let's have a bowl."
At this moment, Li Shou and his fourth aunt came back with the donkey cart. When they passed by, they heard this and said with a smile: "I have been busy all day and night, and I am also a little thirsty."
"Yunman, serve them two bowls."
Zhao Ping ordered.
The two of them drank two bowls.
Not to mention, it's quite thirst-quenching, but a bit bitter.
"How much? I'll get it when I go home."
Putting down the bowl, Li Shou asked.
"for free."
Zhao Ping said: "This medicine is distributed free of charge."
"for free?"
Li Shou was stunned, "You braved the rain to dig out medicinal materials, and used firewood to boil them into medicinal soup at your own expense. You didn't pay for it?"
"Isn't this a loss?"
"You have to do it even at a loss."
Zhao Ping explained: "You are all rushing to harvest food in the rain, so you will definitely get wet."
"If you are blown by the mountain wind, you will easily catch the wind chill."
"If there are many infected people, it is very likely to form a plague. As a member of Xiping Village, I cannot be immune."
"I can only make some medicinal soup. I hope it will be useful."
"Boy Zhao, you are such a good person."
Li Shou sighed: "If you are an official, you will definitely be an upright and honest official who can benefit the whole country."
"How can I be an official if I don't have two ounces of ink in my stomach?"
Zhao Ping said modestly.
The two of them exchanged a few polite words, and Li Shou and his fourth aunt drove the donkey cart back.
Zhao Ping waited for a while, but no one came to drink medicine again.
We can only ask Yunman to send the medicine to Xia Cun, hoping that the people there will drink some because of Xia Cun's prestige.
Not long after, Yun Man came back and brought back the medicine bucket.
Zhao Ping asked hurriedly, "How is it over there? Have you taken the medicine?"
"Drink."
Yun Man said: "The village chief Xia is highly respected. He asked everyone to drink, and no one dared not listen."
"I drank it all in no time."
"No, I brought all the medicine buckets back. Before I left, Village Chief Xia told you to continue preparing tomorrow."
"no problem."
Zhao Ping also breathed a sigh of relief.
As long as someone is drinking, that's a good sign.
People who haven't drank for two days will catch wind and cold and develop symptoms such as headache, runny nose, general weakness, etc., and they can only rest.
But those who insist on taking medicine every day are very active and still go to the fields to collect food.
The benefits are immediate, and you are not afraid that they will not come to drink the medicine.
If more people take the medicine, there will be no more widespread colds. The medicinal materials I prepared should be able to be used.
The big stone hanging in Zhao Ping's heart also fell.
You should be able to have a good night's sleep.
After eating, Zhao Ping fell asleep.
He didn't sleep well last night and had another busy day today. Not long after he lay down, Zhao Ping fell into a deep sleep and even snored slightly.
In a daze, I heard someone shouting.
"who?"
"Brother Ping, someone breaks into our house at night, get up quickly."
This is Li Hu's voice.
Zhao Ping heard it and jumped up from the bed.
He didn't bother to put on his clothes, so he grabbed a stick and walked out.
There was already a fight in the yard.
Three masked men in black clothes were lying on the ground. They were hit by arrows and kept wailing in pain. They obviously lost their fighting ability.
There are three men in black fighting.
The two of them dealt with Yun Man.
Yun Man took the Zhuge Liannu and kept smashing it. He had no plan and was already at a disadvantage.
On the sixth watch of the Qian Dynasty, a man in black rode on him and beat him. He was a human punching bag.
But his hands were tightly holding the man's feet, probably to buy time for Yun Man.
Li Hu was not seen.
However, there were sounds of fighting outside the yard, and they must have been entangled by people outside.
Ma Jiu is here!
Zhao Ping immediately had this idea.
Really good at picking your time.
On a rainy night, everyone was busy harvesting food. There was a certain distance from the village, so no matter how loud the shouts were, it would be difficult to hear them if they were drowned out by the rain.
Even if those who were closer heard the shouts, by the time they came back, the battle would probably be over.
Even if they could make it in time, when they learned that Ma Jiu was dealing with them, they probably wouldn't dare to take action.
Just hide.
As for calling Xia Quan and the others, there was no time at all.
What makes Zhao Ping wonder is why Xia Zhixue didn't send back any news?
With so many people dispatched, there must be a lot of movement, but Xia Zhixue didn't notice it. It seems that this veteran is a bit useless.
Zhao Ping didn't think much and quietly sneaked over to Qian Liu.
Taking advantage of the man's unpreparedness, he hit him on the neck with a stick.
Click.
The neck bones were broken at the sound, and the man's head tilted and he fell to the ground, not knowing whether he was alive or dead.
Then Zhao Ping went to help Yun Man.
He held a stick and kept his body low, which was considered a sneak attack.
Soon another person was knocked down.
With only one person left, Zhao Ping and Yun Man worked together to knock each other down in a matter of seconds.
Zhao Ping asked Qian Liu to find ropes to tie them all up tightly, and he took Yun Man outside the yard.
The fighting outside became more intense.
Li Hu was able to deal with six of them by himself and still managed to win.
Four of them were lying on the ground, rolling and writhing, wailing and wailing, very embarrassed.
There were more than ten people standing nearby.
They were all dressed in black and wearing scarves. Their faces could not be seen clearly, only their two eyes were exposed.
Keep your eyes on the battlefield.
The leader was carrying a long knife, and the rain hitting the knife made a crisp sound.
He also has a mole between his eyebrows.
Connected with the two eyebrows, it looks like a majestic mountain lying across the forehead.
Zhao Ping heard Li Shou's introduction and knew that he was Ma Jiu.
Ma Jiu also saw Zhao Ping.
His eyes suddenly lit up, he pointed at Zhao Ping and said, "He is Zhao Ping."
"Kill him and we can get two hundred taels of silver."
"Divide three people into dealing with this reckless man, and the rest of you will come with me and kill Zhao Ping."
Grass!
Zhao Ping cursed secretly.
His head was only worth two hundred taels of silver, which was so cheap.
But the action was not sluggish at all.
First, he turned around and told Yun Man to go to Xia Village to move reinforcements.
After all, the opponent had too many men, and Zhuge Liannu only had ten arrows, but Yun Man shot them all in the courtyard.
Now we can only rely on brute force to fight.
Ma Jiu still had a long knife in his hand, and there were only four people on his side, including the half-wasted Qian Liu.
There was simply no hope of winning.
We can only delay time and wait for Yun Man to arrive with Xia Quan.
If you can't make it, you can count as one person who escaped.
"He's going to call someone, Third Brother, go and stop him."
Ma Jiu also saw Zhao Ping's intention and arranged for someone to stop Yun Man.
"snort!"
However, at this time, Li Hu snorted coldly and shouted: "As long as I am here, no one can touch Brother Ping."
"Jade girl shuttles."
"The jade girl in the sky is playing with the golden shuttle, weaving silk threads back and forth; who knows how the elephant will hit in Tai Chi and the rabbit will fly and the bird will fly."
As Li Hu shouted, his body lightly avoided the attacks of the six people and ran outside the circle.
Wait for the six people to react before attacking.
Li Hu shouted again, "Hidden hands and fists."
First, he blocked the opponent's attack, and then punched the person in front of him in the chest.
bump!
Click!
With the sound of bones breaking, the man fell to the ground.
"Gao Tanma!"
Li Hu shouted again.
He used his waist as the center to turn his feet, and his right palm hit the person in front of him with a snap, knocking him down instantly.
His back was leaning against another person, and he used his left elbow to hit that person's chest.
Click!
The sternum was broken and the man stumbled and fell.
They knocked out three people in an instant. The other three looked at each other with frightened expressions.
Li Hu took this opportunity and rushed towards Lao San who was chasing Yun Man.
He was extremely fast, and he caught up with him in just a few steps. He grabbed the man by the collar, pulled him down, and then stepped on his chest.
Click, the sternum was broken again.
Zhao Ping was dumbfounded.
And I heard it clearly.
This is Tai Chi.
And it was the move he taught Li Hu.
At that time, he felt that his body was a little worn out by the alcohol, and he had nothing to do, so Zhao Ping started practicing Tai Chi to keep fit.
After Li Hu followed him, he also began to learn.
I just saw its power today.
So fierce!
It's just that Zhao Ping is a little curious. Isn't Tai Chi a physical exercise?
When did it become so powerful? !
Ma Jiu and others reacted and shouted hurriedly: "He is too powerful, don't be obsessed with fighting, just pester him, we will deal with Zhao Ping."
"Kill Zhao Ping, let's retreat quickly."
"Haha, kill me? I am the ancestor of Tai Chi in this world."
Zhao Ping also became interested and waited for Ma Jiu and others with the white crane spread out.
