Tong Wenyao said, "Put this matter aside for now. I need you to help me keep watch." Hearing this, Min Zhi asked with some anticipation, "Boss, do we dare to go back to our old ways?"
Tong Wenyao rolled her eyes and said, "We're doing serious business, not stealing, murder, or robbery." Upon hearing this, Min Zhi quickly agreed, "Yes, yes, yes, boss, you tell me."
"Find some brothers to go into the city and keep an eye on Baimafang. Be careful not to overdo it." Min Zhi said, "Baimafang? It sounds familiar." Goudan said, "Boss, isn't this the Baimafang they came to a few days ago and asked us brothers to work for them?"
Tong Wenyao heard this and said, "That's perfect. Find some smart people to work for them, so they can cooperate with us when the time comes." Min Zhi said, "Boss, didn't you stop us from doing these things? The gambling house they do is a bloody business."
Tong Wenyao glanced at them and said, "So, isn't this asking you to pick the smart ones? The ones who are good at taking shortcuts and slacking off."
After Min Zhi sighed several times, he ordered Goudan to pick someone.
"I'm going to Cangzhou tomorrow. Please help me keep an eye on Changjiang Village and protect them." Min Zhi immediately said, "Boss, don't worry, I will."
Tong Wenyao seemed to remember something and asked, "How are the people we recruited last time getting along?"
Min Zhi scratched his head, wanting to say something but not knowing where to start. Seeing this, Tong Wenyao said directly, "Don't be so shy like a real man. If you have something to say, just say it directly."
He then said, "We get along well, but he eats a bit too much." She expected them to eat so much; she had originally recruited them because they were large and muscular, along with the four winemakers. The four winemakers were now settled at the inn, while the five larger and burly men were relocated to Changzhen Village, making construction easier.
"By the way, after the New Year, I will arrange a group of people for you to practice martial arts. You should study hard and strive to master it. One day, I will need you, and then you will be the one to be made a marquis or a prime minister."
"Okay, we will definitely study hard."
That night, Tong Wen Yao rode a horse and took Xing'er back to Changjiang Village. She wanted to take Wen Jiang to Cangzhou to let the master see if the toxicity could be suppressed. She had never seen this kind of poison in Wen Jiang before, and it was a bit overbearing, running rampant inside. She said it could be suppressed just to calm her second aunt, otherwise Wen Jiang would not have vomited and had diarrhea the next morning.
When they hurried back, only a few houses in the village were still lit, including their Tong family. After riding to the door, Xiaohua came out and led the horse back. Second Aunt immediately ran out and said, "Jiang'er is vomiting blood again. Yao'er, come quickly."
After hearing this, Tong Wenyao immediately ran over and saw Wen Jiang closing her eyes to rest. Her face was pale and her lips had become darker. Tong Wenyao asked, "Have you brought my medicine box?"
A voice came from behind, "Miss, here."
She immediately opened it and took out the gold needles inside, "Jiang'er, it may be a little painful, you have to bear with it." People who know her well will find that she seldom uses gold needles. Firstly, most of the diseases she encounters can be cured by silver needles. Secondly, gold needles are only used when the patient's life is in danger, otherwise it will be too stressful.
Tong Wenyao concentrated on piercing the acupuncture points on her hands and legs. Then, after estimating the time, she pulled out the needles.
At this time, Wen Jiang's face looked a little better.
"Second Aunt, have Dongzi prepare the carriage. We'll leave tonight and go to Cangzhou to see if we can find my master to suppress him."
At this point, she could no longer hide it and could only tell her second aunt to see if she could find a master to suppress it. Although she knew the antidote, she didn't have the herbs. Secondly, she was not sure whether the antidote was really effective on Wen Jiang. Now she could only take it one step at a time.
Tong Bo heard this at the door and quickly said, "Yao'er, I'll go too." She said without even looking up, "Okay."
After wrapping Wen Jiang with clothes and tying his outer robe on him, Tong Bo reached out and carried him down. After Xing'er learned that her young lady was going to Cangzhou, while she was giving Wen Jiang acupuncture, she went to her young lady's room, quickly packed her clothes, made all the preparations, and asked Lanhua to pack some dry food for them to eat on the road.
Dongzi drove the carriage to the door, and Lan Cui brought the stove over. Worried that it would be cold on the road, she also put a bag of charcoal in the back so that she wouldn't have to worry about it burning out.
Tong Wen Yao followed Tong Bo and climbed onto the carriage. Xing'er took the package and put it in the back of the carriage before getting on.
Originally, Dongzi was the only one driving the carriage, but Second Aunt said, "It's cold at night, and one person will be on guard while the other drives the carriage. Let Xiaohua go with us."
"Okay." But one horse might pull people slower, so Tong Bo asked to add another horse to the carriage, making a total of two horses, so that it could run faster.
The carriage was traveling on the official road late at night. Wen Jiang vomited for a while before falling asleep.
Tong Bo rubbed his brows and said, "Yao'er, can your master suppress my brother's poison?" Tong Wen Yao said, "Actually, I'm not sure. Wen Jiang's poison is too complicated. If it can be suppressed during this period, and we spend time looking for herbs later, maybe it can be cured. This kind of poison will have sequelae after being cured, but I'm not sure what they will be. It could be a talent, or it could be the loss of something, like taste or hearing."
This poison is very similar to the poison developed by her junior sister in her previous life, but the formula of this poison is incomplete, so it has sequelae. The poison developed by her junior sister in her previous life had no sequelae at all, which was equivalent to developing the talents that humans are good at. This poison has sequelae, but she did not participate in the development process of her junior sister at that time and only knew the general idea.
In her previous life, her junior sister was captured and taken for scientific research, and no one knew how she was doing now.
They spoke quietly, fearing to disturb Wen Jiang. The carriage was covered with two layers of blankets, and with the stove, they weren't too cold. Tong Bo said, "Yao'er, get some sleep first. I'll wake you up when we get there."
Tong Wenyao said, "Okay, second brother, let's take turns guarding Wen Jiang. If Wen Jiang feels uncomfortable, you can wake me up."
"Okay." Tong Bo took the pillow and let her use it as a cushion so that she could sleep more comfortably. Since the carriage was small, Xing'er did not follow.
Tong Bo took into consideration that the people driving the carriage outside would be cold, so he took out two hot water bottles and handed them out.
"Xiaohua, Dongzi, this is a hot water bottle. Take it, it will warm you up."
Xiaohua was driving the carriage. Dongzi took it and said, "Thank you, sir." Then he handed one of them to Xiaohua. After using the hot water bottle, he felt warmer and his hands and feet were not so stiff.
