Chapter 213 Medicine Man
It was quite a distance from the village to the county government office. Ji Yingying really wanted to use a donkey, but they had already brought a horse-drawn carriage and kept urging her to take it.
Ji Yingying finally agreed to ride in the carriage.
Besides, the donkey doesn't have much battery left, so we'll take it back to recharge it first. It also carried four bags of fertilizer today.
Waste electricity.
"Ugh, this is so annoying, I'm thinking of skipping work." Ji Yingying made up her mind. She planned to skip work because the corn and sweet potatoes were growing well. Although composting was a simple method, it was quite effective.
Upon arriving at the county government office, the magistrate immediately arranged a room for her to rest, and Ji Yingying was quite satisfied with the room.
There will be a religious ceremony tomorrow night, and Ji Yingying plans to sneak away tomorrow. She intends to finish her April absences and go back to work in May. She is now a princess, and if the emperor blames her, she plans to use her title of princess to take the blame.
After waking up and having a full meal, the county magistrate actually wanted her to see the production model of Fengcheng and also wanted her to help manage it, especially the area that had been washed away by last year's flood.
Ji Yingying quickly made up an excuse to look around the county, waiting for nightfall.
[Host, there's some juicy gossip.]
"Tell me quickly, I'm bored right now, and I'd like to taste the saltiness." Ji Yingying poured herself a cup of tea, since she was bored anyway.
[That little kid, guess how old he is?]
[Five years old?] Looks like five years old, small and thin, this is probably due to malnutrition.
"No, he's already ten years old, he's just malnourished." Ji Yingying suddenly wanted to take his pulse. Someone who looks like he's five but is actually ten must have a problem.
Do you know about drug users?
"I know, I came into this world because I'm a doctor, how could I not know?" Ji Yingying blinked. If this melon is a "medicine person," then it means that this child is being called a "medicine person."
Being a drug user is very painful.
From birth, he was forced to become a drug user; no, he was fed a lot of drugs while still in his mother's womb, yet he still survived, even though the dosage wasn't large.
[Hiss~ Who is it?! Don't their parents feel bad about doing this?]
"If you ask me, it was their parents who did it, wasn't it?" Ji Yingying's eyes lit up. These parents probably weren't good people.
Tell me quickly, I want to hear exactly what kind of pitiful little thing it is.
His mother was a master of poisons, and his father was a skilled healer. Both of them were the type to live as long as they could, and if they couldn't live, they wouldn't. So, they had a terrifying idea from the moment the child was conceived: one would use poison, and the other would use medicine, to see if the child could survive.
Good heavens, is this cultivating drug-impregnated humans? No, this isn't, this is trying to poison children! So what's going on with him now?
Now that his parents are dead, he's an orphan. But he's skilled in medicine and poisons, and is immune to most poisons, though his body is rather weak.
Does he have anywhere to go now?
No, his parents were in debt when they died, so how could they have any money? As for him, he had already been raised to be quite extreme by his parents.
[Hiss~ A yandere! I have to go save him. Who knows, maybe when he grows up, he'll protect me and respect me!]
Why don't you tell me you love me?
I don't think my parents will marry me off to anyone else. Other families' daughters, by my age (eleven), should be looking for partners, but my parents haven't. I guess they don't plan to marry me off. And I don't plan to get married either. When I'm old enough, I plan to keep a sugar daddy/mistress.
【Goodness, keeping male concubines? That's great, I support it. With me around, I'll definitely find you clean, unspoiled male concubines.】
Okay, okay... Let's go downstairs and help this little boy.
[Please, I hope to find a sweet and soft... no, a sweet and firm boy in the future.]
Xiangxiang was also interested.
Ji Yingying became even more interested and walked up to him. Xu Yining had his head down when suddenly a figure covered him, so he looked up at the person in front of him.
She is a very cute little girl, and she is very pretty.
"May I have your name?"
"Are you hungry? Do you want to eat this?" Ji Yingying took out a chicken leg and gave it to him.
"Here you go." She stuffed the chicken leg into his hand and gave him a silver note.
"Keep this and live well." As Ji Yingying stuffed the money into his hand, she casually took his pulse and immediately felt very interested.
His body is full of poison and Gu worms, yet he's still alive—that's incredible.
"His physique is amazing!" Ji Yingying was genuinely interested.
However, they didn't dare to have too much contact with each other.
[I told you he was a drug user, did you believe me?]
"I believe you, you really are amazing." Ji Yingying chuckled twice, then turned to leave.
Xu Yining, however, acted as if he knew nothing. Seeing her about to leave, he even asked, "What's your name?"
"Ji Yingying, my name is Ji Yingying! Until we meet again!"
Ji Yingying~
Xu Yining remembered her name. Seeing that she was about to get pregnant again, he stopped her, cut a little blood from her, and put it in a bamboo tube for her.
What's going on here?
The blood of a medicinal human should be able to cure all poisons, but I don't know for sure.
"What use are you!" Ji Yingying took out another hundred taels and gave it to him: "Here, take this. Eat well and live a good life." This time she was really leaving! Ji Yingying looked at the city gate and suddenly had an idea.
I'd better take this opportunity to leave quickly, lest I be conscripted again.
"Are you about to skip work? This isn't modern times." Xiangxiang was a little resistant, feeling that skipping work in ancient times was not a good thing.
[Even dogs don't roam freely, but I will!]
【Huh~】
As soon as the little donkey was out, Ji Yingying, looking so lively, dashed out of the county and headed straight for Fengcheng.
Luckily, the little donkey had been charged overnight, so there's no need to worry about it running out of power now.
On the way to Fengcheng, Ji Yingying entered a village. The village seemed strange, and the villagers were even stranger.
Everyone wore black hats when they went out, covering their entire bodies so that not a single inch of skin could be exposed.
Although it's not too hot at this time of year, being wrapped up like that would still make you feel unbearably hot.
"Young lady, why are you coming this way? There's a sign at the entrance of our village that says outsiders aren't allowed to enter. You'd better leave quickly, the people in our village are sick, they'll kill you in a bit."
Someone came over to say hello and wanted her to leave quickly.
"What's going on here?" Ji Yingying wasn't afraid. If there was a real problem, she could heal herself. If all else failed, she still had her blood.
"We're... fine, you should leave now!"
"Are you the village chief?"
The man nodded. The whole village had contracted a strange disease, and everyone treated them like monsters, which was why no one was allowed into the village.
[Host, they are very ill!]
