"Nonsense, I didn't do it, it wasn't me!"
Dr. Gao was still struggling, but the more he struggled, the tighter the rope bound him, and the exposed parts of his wrists and ankles were chafed raw by the rope.
Lu Qiqi delivered a well-reasoned and logical explanation, convincing most of the villagers, with only a small minority remaining skeptical.
After all, only Lu Qiqi testified, and there was no evidence to prove that Dr. Gao did all these things.
“I remember now!” a villager suddenly exclaimed.
"What did you remember?"
"That night, we fled because we heard that there was no one guarding the southeast intersection, so everyone rushed over there."
Once these words were spoken, any denial seemed powerless and meaningless.
"So it was him who caused so many deaths in our village. My poor husband was drowned!"
"I want him to pay for my cousin's life!"
Da Niu raised his fist, straddled Dr. Gao, and punched him hard.
"Stop hitting me! Stop hitting me! Please stop hitting me!" Doctor Gao lay on the ground, his limbs bound, with nowhere to dodge, only able to take punch after punch.
Seeing that things were not going well and that the fight might lead to someone's death if it continued, Zhao Xiaodong quickly stepped forward to stop Da Niu's fist.
Da Niu's fist was blocked by Zhao Xiaodong. His eyes were bloodshot and his face was ferocious as he said, "He killed my brother, and you still want to stand up for him?"
Seeing that Da Niu was blinded by rage, Zhao Xiaodong immediately said, "Your older brother is dead. Do you want to kill him, go to jail, and get beheaded?"
Da Niu paused for a moment, then slowly lowered his raised fist, and Zhao Xiaodong also released Da Niu's fist.
After getting up, Da Niu still felt unsatisfied, so he kicked Doctor Gao hard before walking away.
Dr. Gao was in so much pain that he didn't even have the strength to hiss; he could only curl up like a shrimp.
"Miss Lu, what should we do about this?"
Zhao Xiaodong asked Lu Qiqi, "What Doctor Gao did is unforgivable, but he's not from this village after all."
The only thing he could think of was to lock him up and send him to the authorities for trial after Tianxin Village was unsealed.
Lu Qiqi said, "Didn't some soldiers come to Tianxin Village? Let's send Doctor Gao there and see how they handle it."
Zhao Xiaodong has been so busy lately, worrying about his elder brother Lu Da that he completely forgot about the six soldiers who came to the village.
"I'll have someone take him there right away!"
After saying that, Zhao Xiaodong called two people, then untied the ropes on Doctor Gao's feet and lifted Doctor Gao up like a sack.
"Walk!"
After Dr. Gao and two villagers left the ancestral hall, the villagers' weeping continued unabated.
Lu Qiqi couldn't care less about all that. Today, the government had delivered medicinal herbs, and Li Changlong and Zhou Yi led a group of people to collect them.
Judging by the time, I should be back soon.
Therefore, Lu Qiqi walked towards the courtyard where the medicine was being boiled.
As soon as she arrived at the entrance of the courtyard, she heard a chorus of complaints.
"What should we do? It's the only thing missing!"
"These corrupt officials, no matter how much disaster relief money is allocated from above, they dare to pocket it all!"
Finally, it was Doctor Luo who started the cursing. When the doctors heard Doctor Luo insulting the official like that, their hearts were in their throats, fearing that he might say something outrageous again.
Dr. Huang coughed lightly and said, "Dr. Luo, please be careful what you say."
"Be careful what you say! Missing one ingredient is no different from cooking rice with only water and no rice!"
Dr. Huang was speechless after being rebuked by Dr. Luo, and even felt that Dr. Luo's description was very accurate.
Before Lu Qiqi even entered the courtyard, upon hearing these words, she knew without even looking what medicinal herbs were missing.
"I'll figure out a way to get the medicinal herbs."
Before you see him, you hear his voice.
Dr. Huang and the others craned their necks to look out of the courtyard.
A moment later, Lu Qiqi's figure appeared.
"Miss Lu, do you have any good ideas?" Doctor Qin asked.
"Everyone is trapped in Tianxin Village. Even if they could get out, they wouldn't have enough money to buy ginseng!"
"Besides, ginseng isn't like a white radish that you can just buy whenever you want."
Lu Qiqi also understood that ginseng was precious because it was rare.
Just because others can't do something doesn't mean she can't.
Lu Qiqi smiled and said, "Don't worry, just go ahead and get the medicine. Just wait for my good news."
After Lu Qiqi finished speaking, the doctors were still somewhat skeptical.
But what we hope for even more is that Lu Qiqi can actually find the ginseng, otherwise they will all die in Tianxin Village.
After Lu Qiqi left, she returned to her small courtyard, closed the door, and entered her spatial dimension.
Wangcai was extremely excited to see Lu Qiqi suddenly appear in the space, and ran over to Lu Qiqi with great enthusiasm.
It blinked its charming big eyes, seemingly inviting Lu Qiqi to play with it.
Lu Qiqi said, "I don't have time to play with you today. Come on, I'll take you to dig a hole."
After saying that, Lu Qiqi led Wangcai into the small wooden house in the space, where she took a hoe and a bamboo basket.
Push open the back door of the cabin and walk a dozen meters to the left to find a medicinal herb field.
Following her memory and the wooden signs on each medicinal herb field, Lu Qiqi found a plot of land where ginseng was planted.
Lush green herbaceous plants, verdant and verdant.
Ginseng grown in this space grows several times faster than ginseng grown outdoors.
Lu Qiqi put down her bamboo basket, picked up a hoe, and began digging with her face to the ground and her back to the sky, huffing and puffing.
The soil in the space was loose and not compacted, so it was not difficult to dig. Lu Qiqi quickly dug out a tender white ginseng.
The ginseng was about the size of a thumb, with some soil still on its surface, making it look rather simple and endearing.
Lu Qiqi estimated that even garden ginseng would take five or six years to grow to this size.
In other words, using spatial soil and diluted spiritual spring water, one can grow ginseng in just a few months that would take others several years to grow.
Thinking about this, Lu Qiqi felt like she had hit the jackpot!
In the future, anyone who grows ginseng in this space can become a wealthy woman, and owning a manor villa will no longer be a dream.
Thinking this way, Lu Qiqi's enthusiasm for digging ginseng grew stronger and stronger. After digging up half a basket, Lu Qiqi estimated that it was about enough, so she stopped.
Looking at the half-full basket of ginseng, Lu Qiqi suddenly felt a pain in her chest.
So many ginseng roots were given away for nothing; it would be a lie to say I wasn't heartbroken.
But there's no other way right now. She can't just watch so many villagers die without offering any help.
Even worse, the deadline given by the government was too tight. If they didn't hurry up and treat the villagers, all the doctors who came from Luzhou Prefecture, including Li Changlong and Zhou Yi, would be burned to ashes.
Lu Qiqi mentally prepared herself, telling herself, 'Just consider this accumulating good karma for myself, praying that I'll be reborn into a good family in my next life, with plenty of food and drink, and more money than I can spend.'
After spouting a bunch of useless nonsense, Lu Qiqi left the space carrying a bamboo basket on her back.
As soon as she stepped out of the space, she heard Li Changlong and Zhou Yi talking.
