One hundred and thirty
After Mo Lang and Fu Wei parted ways, he returned to Muyun Mountain. He hurriedly found his father and told him that Fu Wei had gone to look for him.
——Speculations about the assassination of Prefect Shen and Fu Wei’s request.
Putting aside Fu Wei's request, Uncle Mo's face suddenly became serious when he heard the speculation that Prefect Shen was assassinated.
"Just as the village chief is here, I will go and discuss this matter with him now."
Mo Lang called out to his father, "Dad, Fu Wei is a talented person. Why not recruit him to Muyun Village?"
Uncle Mo stopped and thought of the young man with outstanding temperament. Even when he was sitting on a plain carriage, his back was always straight.
In terms of appearance, Fu Zhen is more like his father, but in terms of temperament and behavior, Fu Wei is more like his father.
Just as calm, just as strategic.
"By the way, Fu Wei's legs and feet have returned to normal." Mo Lang suddenly added.
Uncle Mo looked at his son in surprise: "Really?"
Mo Lang: "It is certainly true that he rode alone from the county seat to Hepu."
After Mo Lang was surprised, he thought about it carefully after hearing these words and found something wrong.
If he can even ride a horse, it means he has been cured long ago.
But if Fu Wei's legs had been healed, he should have received the news long ago, but there was no news at all. The only possibility was...
Mo Lang had the same guess as his father and said, "He's just sleeping on straw and eating bitter food. I guess his leg has been cured long ago, but to hide it from the Huo family, he continues to pretend to be crippled. He has endured it until now, which shows that he is a man who can hold his temper. If he can come to Muyun Mountain to seek a job, we Muyun Mountain..."
Mo Lang was interrupted by his father before he could finish his words.
"Don't mention it. He won't agree."
"Why wouldn't he want to? The court is so corrupt, is he really going to serve it?"
Uncle Mo sighed and said, "Everyone has their own aspirations. At least he's living openly now, while we've always lived in the shadows. Besides..."
He smiled helplessly, looked at his son, and then said, "Besides, you said he was harvesting grain, and Yun County is also promoting herbal medicine cultivation. Do you think he really hasn't made any preparations?"
Mo Lang thought of what Fu Wei had said when he went to Hepu to look for him, asking Muyun Village not to touch Yun County. He frowned and said, "He must have anticipated something."
Uncle Mo smiled and said, "He knew about it, but he didn't strongly recommend it. Instead, he just wanted to protect the little piece of land in Yun County. What do you think he still expects from the court?"
Mo Lang was silent for a moment. "But he's only loyal to a small county magistrate. If the world really falls into chaos, how can the county magistrate protect him?"
Uncle Mo laughed and said, "Don't forget, the magistrate of Cangwu Yun County is from the Zhou family of Yuzhang."
Mo Lang was stunned for a moment, then reacted: "But even if Magistrate Zhou had some abilities in the Zhou family before, he is now just a discarded pawn of the Zhou family. How can he turn the tide?"
"Who can say for sure what will happen in the future?" Uncle Mo shook his head and said, "The village chief is in the village. I will go and discuss with him the matter of the assassination of Governor Shen. Don't mention anything else for now."
After giving the instructions, Uncle Mo left the house and went to the village chief's house.
As soon as I got outside the house, I saw the doctor from Muyun Village coming out with a medical box and a sad look on his face.
Seeing Uncle Mo, the doctor bowed and said, "Master Mo."
Uncle Mo nodded, glanced into the house, and said with concern: "Has the village chief's headache come back again?"
The doctor sighed helplessly, "It's all because of my poor medical skills that I can't cure the village chief's headache."
Uncle Mo consoled him, "The village chief has suffered from headaches for several years. He has sought help from other doctors, but the results have been minimal. It's truly a stubborn disease."
After saying a few words, Uncle Mo went into the house.

Half a month had passed since returning from the county seat, and Yu Ying went back to Lingshui Village.
The rice in the fields can be harvested, and it’s time to take a look at the medicinal herbs.
Food is important, followed by medicinal materials.
The medicinal herbs grew very well last year. Although they were only planted for one year and had low efficacy, they became hot commodities when there was a shortage of medicinal herbs.
After Yu Ying visited the rice and medicinal fields, she went to the medicinal fields on the hillside.
There were more than ten acres of medicinal fields on the slope. Yu Ying naturally paid someone to take care of them, and also paid Uncle He and Aunt He to be the managers.
Aunt He and Yu Ying went up the hillside to check the medicinal fields. There were several people taking care of the fields. When they saw Yu Ying, they all stopped and called her Madam Yu, even more respectfully than when she came back last time. This made her puzzled, so she asked Aunt He beside her.
Aunt He sighed, "Thanks to your family, our family has no problem paying taxes this year. Not only our family, but also many people in the village have a much better life now, and they don't have to commit suicide because of taxes."
Upon hearing this, Yu Ying couldn't help but ask, "Aren't the beans harvested yet?"
Aunt He smiled and said, "Even if there's no harvest, your family has a lot of land, and the villagers earned some money by cultivating it for you."
"Later, the government sent someone to teach us how to identify some herbs. After we collected them, we sold them to medical clinics at the government's price. Every household saved some money, which helped us pay taxes. However, after paying the taxes, life would be difficult, not to mention the additional taxes we had to pay after the New Year."
At the end of her speech, Aunt He sighed dejectedly.
A cruel government is more ferocious than a tiger.
Yu Ying sighed helplessly in her heart.
After looking at the medicinal fields, Yu Ying returned to the thatched cottage.
Although the whole family moved to Yu County, some items remained in the village, such as the crutches that Fu Wei had used before.
When Aunt He saw Yu Ying off, she saw her holding a cane and asked in confusion, "Doesn't your Erlang already have a chair with wheels? Why does he need this cane?"
Yu Ying smiled faintly: "Erlang's legs have gradually recovered, and he can stand up now."
When Aunt He heard this, she was stunned for a moment before reacting. She was surprised and delighted: "Can he really stand up?!"
Yu Ying nodded: "We should be able to leave in a month or two."
After all, Fu Wei cannot get better suddenly, it still takes a process.
Aunt He clapped her hands and said excitedly, "Sixth Mother, your medical skills are truly amazing!"
When Fu Wei was carried back by her husband and son last year, she knew the situation best. Even the doctor was very sure that her bones were broken and she would be disabled for life.
But now he can stand up, which shows how great Liu Niang's medical skills are!
Yu Ying smiled and said, "It's because Erlang is so determined that I can cure him. If he were depressed, I wouldn't be able to cure him."
Hearing this, Aunt He couldn't help but admire him and said, "Your Erlang is indeed different from ordinary people. If an ordinary person were to end up like him, they wouldn't know how long they would be depressed, but he managed to get through it in just six months."
Yu Ying recalled the first time she met Fu Wei, she said he was depressed and decadent, but he was clean and tidy, without any sense of decadence.
The only difference was his eyes, which were lifeless.
Although she had a deep memory of his eyes, it was different now and she didn't care.
After saying goodbye to Aunt He, Yu Ying returned to the city.
Because Fu Wei and County Magistrate Zhou went to inspect a village far away, it was already dusk and they had not returned yet.
It was dark when Yu Ying returned to her room after taking a shower. Fu Wei was already in the room looking at the crutch he had used.
Fu Wei only looked up when Yu Ying returned to her room.
Yu Ying closed the door and walked over with her hair twisted: "Have you eaten yet?"
Fu Wei nodded: "I used it at the government office when I came back."
He glanced at the handkerchief holding her hair, reached out his hand, and said softly, "I'll do it."
Yu Ying handed him the handkerchief, glanced at the cane, and said, "It's a little old, but still sturdy."
Then he sat down at the table.
Fu Wei stood behind her, wrapped her long black hair in a handkerchief, and massaged it with moderate force, allowing the handkerchief to absorb the moisture from the black hair.
"I will take this cane to the government office tomorrow and use it when appropriate."
Fu Wei's movements were so gentle that Yu Ying felt like a treasure.
My scalp feels numb and comfortable, and I feel relaxed.
She squinted her eyes slightly in comfort, and said in a clear and slow voice: "Once your leg recovers, the reputation of Yongxi Hall will spread."
Fu Wei hummed, then asked, "Will there be any trouble?"
Yu Ying shook her head: "Not really, I'm just busy."
"What's the situation at the clinic now?"
Yu Ying said, "There are fewer people coming to see the doctor, but there are still many guests on the second floor."
The blackmailing of Yongxitang has caused a sensation in Yu County.
Yongxi Hall was closed for two days. After it reopened, it was deserted and no one dared to come.
Later, after County Magistrate Zhou had someone beat a gong to spread the news of what he had investigated, the truth came to light and then there were some customers again, but compared to before, there were far fewer.
The accounts for the past half month were much worse than before. Fortunately, Yu Ying had a good reputation. When others heard that she was back, they thought she was capable and reliable, so people started making appointments again. The business on the second floor gradually recovered, but the number of patients on the first floor gradually decreased.
Fu Wei: "Perhaps it's because of the increased taxes that people have to endure illnesses."
Yu Ying fell silent.
"I know you feel bad." Fu Wei said this without saying much to comfort her. She understood the truth as well as he did.
Yu Ying smiled and said, "I'm not pretentious, but sometimes I just feel uncomfortable."
After all, she grew up in a peaceful era, so how could she not be upset when talking about these things?
But she also understood that although she had some skills, they were not enough to shake anything, so she would only help if she could to protect herself.
His hair was already half dry and didn't need to be wiped anymore, so Fu Wei put down his handkerchief, found some clothes and went to wash.
Yu Ying opened the window to blow dry her hair.
When Fu Wei came back from bathing, her hair was dry, but she still sat in front of the window with her hair loose.
The moonlight was bright, and the soft light fell on Yu Ying's body, which was very gentle.
Fu Wei looked at her with some desire, walked over, closed the window, and then picked her up.
His voice lowered: "It's time to rest."
Although they had been married for a short time, Fu Wei always appeared to be pure and unselfish, but Yu Ying understood him.
She put her arms around Fu Wei's neck, tilted her head back and kissed his Adam's apple, then whispered, "Okay."
Things will not be peaceful from now on, so we should cherish the few days of peace we still have.
Fu Wei walked to the bedside and laughed softly. His voice was like pearls falling on a plate, making people's ears numb.
Fu Wei gently placed the person in his arms on the couch, and then lowered the hook on the curtain.
As the curtain fell, the tall body was pressed down with it.
*
Magistrate Zhou of Yu County had an aide with disabled legs. At the end of last year, after a dinner at the Cangwu County Prefectural Governor's Mansion, all the magistrates of the seven counties knew about this person.
By mid-July, Fu Wei was able to walk with the help of a cane.
Everyone in the seven counties had heard about Fu Wei's story to some extent, so when Fu Muzhe's leg was cured, the news spread quickly.
Naturally, the news that his wife had treated him also spread.
In Yu County there was a female doctor named Yu. She was originally the daughter of an imperial physician, and later became a wife of the Fu family.
Doctor Yu can cure epidemics, diseases, and even broken legs. His medical skills are extremely amazing.
Yu Ying's reputation spread in this way.
