Upon hearing this, Ning Ye knew his chance had come. "My lord, I have a family heirloom medicine here that is specially used to treat headaches. Would you like to give it a try?"
Wang Mingyuan asked with great interest, "You can't just make wild claims about medicine. If anything goes wrong, you'll lose your head."
Ning Ye directly opened the system and redeemed the ibuprofen capsules. One pill of this stuff would be an absolute panacea for these ancient people who had virtually no drug resistance.
Ning Ye said confidently, "My lord, if this medicine doesn't work within a short time, I'll let you do whatever you want with me."
Ning Ye placed ibuprofen in his palm and presented it to everyone.
Seeing Ning Ye's confidence, Wang Mingyuan took the medicine even though he had never seen such a strange medicine before. "Since you are so confident, I will trust you this time. How should I take it?"
"Just take it orally and drink some water."
The woman in the pink dress was also sensible; she immediately brought over a cup of tea, which Wang Mingyuan drank in front of everyone.
Lin Qinshu nervously gripped her hands. Even someone as knowledgeable as her had never seen medicine like this before.
What should we do if something happens?
In less than the time it takes to drink a cup of tea, Wang Mingyuan felt his headache disappear. As the saying goes, a headache is not a disease, but when it really hurts, it can be deadly.
After being plagued by headaches for many days, the pain suddenly disappeared, and it felt absolutely wonderful.
"This family secret recipe is indeed effective. Tell me, you've done me such a great favor, how should I reward you?"
"It is my honor to be able to help you, sir. As for anything else, I dare not ask for more."
Wang Mingyuan stared at Ning Ye and smiled slightly, "People who say things like this are either truly without desires or have extremely high desires. Which type of person are you?"
Ning Ye met Wang Mingyuan's gaze without flinching. "I heard that your headache is caused by those despicable bandits."
"That's true, but there are just too few people in Qingyuan County. I have no way to send troops to arrest them, otherwise I wouldn't be having such a headache."
"My lord, I believe that to solve these people's problems, we must beat them into submission, or even destroy them completely."
Wang Mingyuan asked with great interest, "If you want Lin Changhe to take people out, you can forget about it, it's impossible."
"Of course not. I think you can recruit local militia. With just a little money and food, people are willing to risk their lives for you, sir."
"Are you going to say next that you are willing to lead this local militia and share my burdens?"
Ning Ye said righteously, "Although I have never read any military books, I hate these ruthless bandits to the bone and am willing to do my part for you, sir."
Wang Mingyuan laughed heartily, "Consider this my reward to you. The recruitment notice will be issued tomorrow. Come to the county government office again in three days."
After receiving the money from Xu Sanguan, Ning Ye took Lin Qinshu and the others to a random inn in the county town to stay.
Meanwhile, Wang Mingyuan had already returned to his study. The woman in the pink dress was nowhere to be seen; only Xu Sanguan remained with him in the study.
Xu Sanguan asked, puzzled, "That's just a young boy, sir. Do we really have to do this?"
Wang Mingyuan held a chess manual in one hand and played a game with the other. "I had the idea of ​​recruiting people all along. I don't care who is in charge of this. Since there is a kid who is willing to do it, let him give it a try. Maybe there will be a surprise."
"Sir, should I go and investigate this kid? We need to find out more about him before we can use him with peace of mind."
"If this group of people still doesn't intend to let me go even after I've reached such a remote and impoverished place, then there's no point in taking precautions."
Xu San nodded, indicating that he understood. "My lord, I shall take my leave now."
Wang Mingyuan didn't even look up, his focus was solely on the chessboard in front of him, where the black and white pieces seemed to be killing each other.
Ning Ye, who had chosen an inn, didn't skimp on the meal and treated himself to a good one.
Although meat dishes are indeed rare, does that mean we can't eat as many vegetarian dishes as we want?
The table was laden with several dishes, including a plate of cured pork. The aroma of the meat had already captivated Lin Qinshu and the others.
Even if I've eaten countless delicacies before, after this period of wandering, I'm still incredibly hungry for them.
Xiao Yuan's eyes seemed to be swirling around; she was clearly mesmerized by the aroma. Xiao Qing wasn't much better off; she obviously didn't know where to put her hands. However, since Ning Ye hadn't touched his chopsticks, the others naturally didn't dare to either.
After the rice was served, Ning Ye picked up his bowl and chopsticks. "Alright, stop staring and start eating. I know you're all starving."
After saying that, Ning Ye thoughtfully added a piece of cured meat to Lin Qinshu's plate, saying, "Eat slowly, or your stomachs won't be able to handle it."
Lin Qinshu blushed slightly. "Husband, you eat. There's not much meat to begin with. The three of us can just have a little."
Ning Ye said indulgently, "You can eat meat every meal from now on, so eat this meat obediently now, or I'll punish you. How can I not fatten you up?"
Lin Qinshu could only obediently eat the meat in her bowl, feeling a little sweet in her heart. From any perspective, Ning Ye did not seem like that kind of uncouth person, so she thought that her future days would not be difficult.
Ning Ye, who had been starving all day, started eating, but his first reaction to the food was that it tasted rather unpalatable.
However, hunger can make everything taste delicious. After Lin Qinshu and the other two finished eating, Ning Ye devoured all the food on the table.
After finishing all of these things, Ning Ye finally felt that his hungry body was satisfied.
To save money, the group shared a large dormitory room, so nothing could happen at night; at most, Lin Qinshu would fall asleep next to Ning Ye.
When it was broad daylight the next day, Ning Ye and his group got up early and returned to Qingyuan Village.
Before they even reached the village entrance, they saw Ning Silang looking around at the main road. When he saw Ning Ye appear, he immediately walked over. "You haven't come home all day. I thought something had happened to you. You should have told your fourth uncle where you went."
These heartfelt words warmed Ning Ye's heart; it was indeed nice to feel cared for.
