Chapter 319: Scarcity Makes Things Valuable
"Yes, Master, your guess is spot on." Guo Yang now somewhat understood why his brother Guo Sheng was so startled. He cleared his throat and said, "Master, I just received news that Miss Xiao is now in a village under Xingfeng Town. Hou Jian, under the alias Pang Hai, is hiding in Shibazhai. He was disfigured and injured in the eye, and now only has one eye left."
"I guess Miss Xiao wants to use the information about anthocyanin treating eyes to lure Hou Jian out." Guo Yang expressed his guess.
"Send someone to keep an eye on it. There must not be any mistakes." Jun Lie said.
Guo Yang replied: "Don't worry, Miss Xiao will definitely not make any mistakes."
…
"My eyes are really healed?" Luo Min looked at his eyes. He only had one eye before, and he almost stepped on it and fell to the ground when going to the toilet. Who would have thought that after being treated by Hua Qing, his eyes would really be healed.
"Okay, okay!" Luo's mother saw that there was light in Luo Min's eyes again, and she was so excited that she didn't know what to say.
Hua Qinglao sat there in a state of composure, as if this was an easy matter. With Luo Minzhi's eyes, the news that a miracle doctor had come to Donglin County was completely spread out. The news seemed to have wings and flew to every corner of Donglin County.
On the top of Tianzihao Mountain, a masked man listened to his subordinates' reports and asked, "Is that master really that amazing?"
"Yes, I saw it with my own eyes. The girl was blind in one eye. Who knew that the master could have gotten the blessings of a hundred children, an octogenarian's blessing, and the blood of his relatives? The girl drank the blood, and her eye really was healed."
"Send someone to bring him up." The masked man was so excited that a smile appeared on his face.
"yes."
…
"Miss, the food in Donglin County is not tasty. They put chili peppers in everything, even when they stir-fry cabbage. The taste is not as good as the food in Fengchunlou!"
Luo Kui returned from Donglin County with a full stomach and began to talk about the information he had gathered today. He said, "There's all sorts of information about the Eighteen Villages. I sorted it out, but it seems useless."
Luo Kui reported all the information she had gathered, one by one. Finally, she said, "Oh, Miss, I heard that an important figure has moved into the county government office. He came from Shengjing. I heard that he is of high status, and when he leaves, the government officials lead the way. He is quite impressive."
"I don't know which master it is. He doesn't live in Xiangcheng, but lives in the county instead." Luo Kui muttered, and said, "I went to inquire again later, but there was no news."
"The Jinjiang River levee in Xiangcheng breaks every year, and hundreds of thousands of people downstream suffer from floods and their crops are wiped out. The imperial court allocates disaster relief funds, and ministers come to inspect the area every year. It's not surprising."
Xiao Jiuyue wasn't at all curious about this important figure in the capital. She asked, "How's Hua Qing doing?"
"Amazing!" Luo Kui's voice became particularly excited when Hua Qing was mentioned. "Miss, you didn't see the scene. Hua Qing was like a real fortune teller. Every prediction was accurate. There was a woman who was watching the excitement, but who knew that the excitement would come to her."
"Hua Qing said that her husband is fooling around with someone else at home. If she doesn't go back, the house will be burned down. Guess what?" Luo Kui's voice rose several tones in excitement.
Xiao Jiuyue took a sip of tea while Lian Xin said, "Hua Qing must have calculated it correctly, otherwise, he would have been ruined."
"Yes." Luo Kui danced with his hands and spoke vividly.
"Have you seen the bandits?" Xiao Jiuyue asked.
Upon hearing this, Luo Kui immediately looked at Jin Wu for help. Jin Wu cleared his throat and said, "The bandits must have gotten the news. Luo Min and her mother and daughter are famous throughout Donglin County today. It's impossible for the bandits not to know about it."
"Jin Wu, be careful when you go to Hua Qing today." As Xiao Jiuyue finished speaking, Lian Xin's heart immediately tightened. "Miss, are you worried that those bandits will kidnap people directly?"
"It's very likely." Jin Wu seemed to be reminded: "Bandits always act without rules. If they really knew that Hua Qing could cure eyes, they would definitely send people to capture Hua."
"Miss, I'll be there now." Jin Wu bowed to Xiao Jiuyue, turned around and left.
Luo Kui turned around, looked at his back and said, "Jin Wu, you haven't eaten dinner yet."
"No need." Jin Wu said and started running.
Xiao Jiuyue watched him leave and said, "You won't starve when you get to Huaqing's place. Luokui, you've been tired all day, so hurry up and take a shower and change your clothes." Luokui, dressed as an old woman, looked so...
"Okay, I feel like I stink." Luo Kui raised his hand and sniffed, but didn't dare to get close to Xiao Jiuyue. He turned around and ran away. When he crossed the threshold, he almost fell out.
Lian Xin reminded: "Slow down."
"Luo Kui always does things in a hurry." Lian Xin smiled as she watched her back. Wherever Luo Kui was, the smile on her lips could not stop.
"Very good." Xiao Jiuyue praised, looking at the attentive Lianxin beside her and said, "You and Luokui, one is meticulous and the other is carefree, you complement each other perfectly."
For dinner, Luo Kui went to the kitchen and made braised pork and salad cucumber for Xiao Jiuyue, and also prepared braised eggplant and boiled edamame.
"Miss, tomorrow I will go catch some fish to make fish soup." Luo Kui felt a little embarrassed looking at this simple dish.
"Being able to eat hot dishes is better than the dry food on the road." Xiao Jiuyue ate casually along the way. Although there were boiled vegetables, after eating a few meals, no matter how delicious the boiled vegetables were, he couldn't eat them anymore.
"Don't wait here anymore, let's eat quickly." Xiao Jiuyue urged. She asked Luokui and Lianxin to sit down. The two of them felt very uncomfortable, so Xiao Jiuyue simply distributed some food to each of them and asked them to eat in the yard.
"Thank you, Miss." Luo Kui and Lian Xin happily took their bowls to the yard to eat. Sitting with the Miss to eat, she felt that no matter how delicious the food was, it was not fragrant. As soon as she walked into the yard, Luo Kui looked at the pickled vegetable bun in Luo Yuan's hand and silently ate a piece of braised pork: It is really a blessing to be with the Miss.
It’s late at night.
Shang Yifan brought Zhou Lin back. Although he failed to find the bandit contact, Shang Yifan had some good news: the cloth they brought was sold.
"The purple cloth in Xiangcheng is too dark in color and only older women like it. Now there is such a bright purple. All cloth shop owners who are not stupid will buy it." Xiao Jiuyue is very confident in the cloth she made. The color is bright and it does not fade. There is no other cloth like it on the market. It would be strange if this kind of goods cannot be sold.
"Sister Yue, you are right. Scarcity makes things valuable." Shang Yifan returned to his room and began to work. He had to think about how to increase the output of Shangri-La's cloth.
"Miss, we rescued a man." Jin Wen, who had gone to inquire about the bandits, came back with a dying man covered in blood.
