Chapter 64: Beast Temple Sacrifice
"You can pretend for a while, but you can't pretend forever."
Shen Qi was not angry at his words, but wanted to wait and see.
This guy who is obviously a wolf but disguises himself as a dog, when will he reveal his true colors in front of Yunzhi?
In the following days, Chen Qi always found various reasons to visit Yun Zhi, and even invited Yun Zhi to visit his tribe to see the medicinal herbs he planted.
Qi Chengfeng was forced to stay at home alone, watching Yunzhi leave with a look full of resentment.
Yunzhi looked at such a large piece of land planted with medicinal herbs of various grades, and thought to herself that it was no wonder that Chen Qi had become a famous herbal merchant in such a short time. The herbs he provided were both large in quantity and high in quality. Who wouldn't like to cooperate with him?
"It must be very hard for you to be responsible for growing such a large area of medicinal herbs by yourself."
Chen Qi was stunned. This was the first time someone asked him if he worked hard. Most people only saw his bright and beautiful appearance, and no one cared about how much he paid behind the scenes.
Chen Qi's affection for Yun Zhi grew day by day. He thought that he must have liked Yun Zhi before he lost his memory.
Chen Qi smiled and said, "It was very hard at the beginning. I had to do everything myself, but now I have hired some wood-type ability users. Although their levels are not high, they have helped me share a lot of the workload, so it's not bad now."
Yunzhi nodded.
In the future, Chen Qi's business will grow bigger and bigger, and he will become a well-known herbal merchant spanning the north and the south, monopolizing the supply of many pharmacies.
So now, it's just the beginning.
However, Yunzhi did not expect that after her relationship with Shen Qi became better and better, the price of the supplies provided by Shen Qi to the medical clinic also changed, and was basically sold at the cost price.
Zhou Feng felt a little embarrassed: "Yunzhi girl, aren't we taking advantage of others like this a bit too much?"
Yunzhi turned around and told Chen Qi to trade at the market price and not to make too much concessions for her.
However, Shen Qi insisted on doing so. He said, "You saved me in the black market before, and I didn't have time to repay you for saving my life. I can only do these small things for you. If you still want to treat me as a friend, don't reject my kindness."
Seeing that he was too stubborn about this matter, Yunzhi had no choice but to agree.
After a few months, it was the end of the year.
As the weather began to get colder, many people began to change into thick animal skin clothes.
Fortunately, it doesn't snow in this place, so the temperature doesn't drop below zero, so Yunzhi's daily journey from the tribe to the medical clinic is not delayed.
But the air was filled with damp cold, the kind of cold that could seep into the bones.
Zhou Feng asked Yunzhi to come to the clinic less often and rest at home, in case she got frozen on the road.
Yunzhi refused: "I eat and sleep all day in the tribe. I will gain weight in the winter. At least I have something to do in the infirmary."
Zhou Feng: "Other females enjoy themselves and would rather have the males feed them, but you insist on finding some work for yourself."
Yunzhi: "Master, don't you understand me? I just can't sit still."
Zhou Feng wiped the bone needles he often used. "The sacrificial ceremony at the Beast God Temple will begin in a few days. Since you can't be idle, why not go there for a while? Every year at this time, your senior brother goes there for free medical treatment, and you two can meet each other."
When Yunzhi heard this, she thought it was a good opportunity.
If she could participate in the free clinic, she would be able to diagnose more patients independently and improve herself.
Of course, in addition to this, she is also looking forward to this senior brother.
The location where the Beast Temple's sacrificial activities are held is quite far from the Snake Tribe.
Therefore, Yunzhi specially hired a horse beastman who could travel a hundred miles a day to take her to the Beast God Temple.
As for Qi Chengfeng, Yunzhi originally wanted him to take Ah Fu with him, but he abnormally said that he didn't want to go.
Yunzhi asked him why: "That sacrificial ceremony is not boring. It will gather many people from both the north and south sides, including many vendors who will set up stalls there. It's like a large market. It's very lively and fun. Don't you really want to go and have a look?"
Qi Chengfeng lowered his dog-like eyes and said, "Yunzhi, my parents were killed by the people from the Beast Temple."
Yunzhi's eyes widened in shock: "What?"
Qi Chengfeng: "I don't want to see those sanctimonious priests. I'm afraid I won't be able to control myself."
Yunzhi frowned and said, "Sorry, I didn't know about this. Then... I won't go either."
Qi Chengfeng shook his head: "You didn't go there for those priests, you went there for the free clinic and your senior brother. I don't want to see you give up your prepared plans for me."
Yunzhi: "But..."
Qi Chengfeng: "Go ahead, I'll wait for you at home."
Yunzhi never thought that Qi Chengfeng and the Beast Temple had such a deep blood feud.
She wanted to ask which priest there was the murderer of his parents, but she was afraid of opening Qi Chengfeng's scars and making him sad, so she didn't dare to ask further.
Because of this incident, Yunzhi lost most of her enthusiasm for participating in sacrificial activities, and she was even more disgusted with the priests in the Beast Temple.
However, since the free medical consultation had already been agreed upon, Yunzhi didn't want to stand them up, so she packed her bags and got on the carriage pulled by the horsemen.
It was three days later when we arrived at the Beast Temple.
Yunzhi saw that the horsemen were extremely tired during the past three days and their hooves were severely worn out.
Not only did he receive the proper compensation, but he also received an extra tip, totaling 100 beast coins.
When the horse beastman saw the heavy bag of beast coins, he took the initiative to tell Yunzhi that he had given too much.
Yunzhi said that this was what he deserved.
The horse beastman knew that he had met a generous customer this time. After accepting the money, he thanked Yunzhi profusely.
Yunzhi shook her head and said it was nothing. She followed the route Zhou Feng told her, carrying her bag and walking slowly along the way, and finally found where Mo Wuyou lived.
Looking at the large courtyard with two entrances and two exits, Yunzhi stood at the door like a country bumpkin, looking left and right, and confirmed that the three big words "Wuyoutang" were written on the door before she went forward and knocked on the door.
It’s really generous that a place where you only rest for a few days every year is built so well.
Soon, someone opened the door.
The young man who opened the door saw Yunzhi and looked her up and down before coming over to greet her. "Is that Miss Yunzhi? My boss has been waiting for you for a long time."
"How do you know it's me?" Yunzhi was curious.
"Because we have your portrait, which was painted by our boss himself."
As he spoke, the young man took out a painting from his arms. The person in the painting was Yunzhi herself. The painting was not complicated, just a few simple strokes, but it perfectly outlined the person's facial features and lively expression.
