The daughter of an elite disciple from a major sect, Shi Zelan possessed the best conditions for cultivation. However, she was plotted against and cursed, burdened with an inherently unlucky consti...
Chapter 293 Kindness
"Xiao Liu, I'm meditating on the rooftop."
Shi Zelan responded to Shi Xiaoliu, she felt that this time and place was most suitable for meditation and practice on the roof.
When it was almost dawn, people who were collecting herbs came down the mountain, all of them with frightened expressions on their faces.
After they climbed to the mountainside, someone spoke up: "There were soldiers at the foot of the mountain yesterday."
"You also recognized the footprints left by the officers and soldiers?"
"A few years ago, when I met the uncle from Xiaoliu Mountain in the mountains, he told me about it."
"Alas, we won't go up the mountain to collect herbs now. When it snows, we won't be able to go in here to collect herbs."
"What do you think happened on this mountain?"
Shi Xiaoliu and Xia Yu were sitting on the edge of the mountain, so they naturally heard what they said.
Shi Zelan flew down from the roof and took the thatched hut directly.
She said to Shi Xiaoliu and Xia Yu, "Let's move back. This mountain is even more restless."
Shi Xiaoliu and Xia Yu also vacated their respective residences, and then the three of them cleaned up the top of the mountain together, restoring the ground to almost its original state.
As they left, Xia Yu waved her hand and withdrew all the protective measures and barriers on the top of the mountain.
The people on the mountainside inadvertently looked up at the top of the mountain.
The man suddenly laughed: "It's daybreak. There is less fog on the mountain today, and the top of the mountain is exposed."
Shi Xiaoliu and the other two have returned to the top of the mountain. After settling into their new home, they discussed what they would do today.
Shi Xiaoliu said that he still wanted to pick herbs, and Xia Yu and Shi Zelan had no objection.
The three of them went out from the back of the mountain, and naturally they avoided those who went up the mountain to collect herbs.
As they walked inside, they heard the herbalists discussing whether to go down the mountain that day.
"The weather has been good these past few days, so I want to stay a few more days so I can pick herbs and dry them."
"After the soldiers arrived, I felt that this mountain should be much safer."
"Okay, let's go together. I don't dare go down the mountain alone."
Shi Xiaoliu whispered, "I don't know what happened. It sounds like people are in a panic."
Xia Yu sighed and said, "Give it a few days, we can go to Yangzhou Prefecture and get some news."
After the three of them walked inside for a while, they began to look for herbs and dig them up carefully.
Shi Xiaoliu said to Shi Zelan and Xia Yu, "Dig more herbs. I will sell them next time I go to the city."
"Well, we need to spend money on food and other necessities, so let's work hard to dig herbs."
"Now I understand what Uncle Jun said. Even if we become masters of formations, it is still not inconvenient to use them in many cases."
"Xia Yu, you have cultivated the spiritual plant technique to the level of a master, and now everything you do is very convenient."
After saying this, Shi Zelan couldn't help but laugh at Xia Yu three times, which gave Xia Yu goose bumps.
"Sister Lan, smile normally."
"puff."
Shi Xiaoliu couldn't help laughing: "She has thought of a way to make money for you."
Shi Zelan glanced at Shi Xiaoliu and said, "Xiaoliu, don't remind me too obviously."
The three of them dug up a lot of medicinal herbs, and when they went to the nearby river to wash them, they found that the water was very turbid.
After Shi Xiaoliu and the other two looked at each other, Shi Zelan threw a purification talisman directly into the river.
However, the three of them had no intention of washing the herbs and simply carried them to another place.
After they walked for a while, Shi Xiaoliu said to Shi Zelan and Xia Yu, "We can't just leave, there are still people collecting herbs on this mountain.
We looked along the river, and if we couldn’t handle it, we would wait for our uncles and aunts to come. ”
They walked upstream along the river, and after a while, they found that there were many people stationed upstream, and they all looked a bit bloody.
Shi Xiaoliu looked at Shi Zelan and Xia Yu and whispered, "Something is not right about this place. I'm afraid it will become chaotic."
After Shi Zelan listened to the noise for a while, he sighed and said, "Let's go back. This is a matter of the mortal world, we can't interfere."
"Why can't everyone just live a good life? Why do they always have to find ways to make some noise?"
"There are gold mines here, sake is popular, and money moves people's hearts."
The three of them walked back with sighs. Halfway through the journey, they saw five or six people picking herbs. They looked at each other.
Shi Xiaoliu came forward to talk to the oldest-looking person among them, and reminded them very subtly not to go any further.
After the three of them left, the herbalists looked at each other, and the young and impulsive ones shouted directly: "If they can go, why can't we go?"
The herbalists looked at each other. They saw that the herbs picked by Shi Xiaoliu and the other two were all ordinary mountain herbs.
Others come here to give a reminder with good intentions, but I'm afraid there really is something going on here.
The older herbalist pondered for a while and then made a decision: “It’s getting late, so I dug a basket of herbs today.
I am old and my health is not good. I am going down the mountain now. Do you want to come with me? ”
The herbalists looked at each other and decided to go down the mountain together.
Even though the young man was somewhat unwilling, he had no choice but to catch up when he saw everyone was walking down the mountain.
When Shi Xiaoliu and the other two saw the herbalists walking down the mountain, they felt much more at ease.
Shi Xiaoliu and Shi Zelan looked at each other, and Shi Zelan whispered, "These people are too greedy. It has only been a short time, and they have polluted the river below."
Shi Xiaoliu looked at her for a while and asked, "Do you want to send a message to the government?"
After Shi Zelan thought about it carefully, he said, "This message cannot be sent casually."
"Yes, if you encounter someone who goes along with the corrupt, it will cause more trouble for the people nearby."
Xia Yu glanced at them and said: "Since you don't trust the people in the nearby government offices, then we should find a way to use their power to send the message outside Yangzhou Prefecture."
Shi Zelan thought for a moment and said to Shi Xiaoliu, "Xia Yu's method is good. We don't need to worry about the conduct of officials in the secular world.
Wherever there are people, there are conflicts of interest.
We will send the news to the government officials in the vicinity of Yangzhou Prefecture, and someone will come to take charge of the affairs of this area. ”
Shi Xiaoliu agreed, “Okay.
Professional matters should be handled by professionals.
As passers-by, we can only lend a helping hand and show kindness to the indigenous people here. ”
After the three of them returned to the top of the mountain, they decided to act separately.
One person guarded the top of the mountain, while the other two delivered this earth-shaking news.
That night, the three of them went to that place again and observed the people's behavior for a while. They were very sure that it was a mob.
The next morning, before Shi Xiaoliu and Xia Yu set off, they said to Shi Zelan, "If anything happens to you, don't worry about cause and effect."
Shi Zelan rolled her eyes at them and said, "I'm not stupid.
If someone wants to hit me on the left cheek, I will definitely make them puff up both sides of their cheeks. ”
