At the gate of the county town, Su Song saw a notice posted on the gate saying that there was a nobleman named An in Luzhou who was waiting for the resurrection grass to make medicine to save his life, and offered a reward of 10,000 taels of silver.
Ten thousand taels of silver...
It was hard for Su Song not to be tempted. If he could get 10,000 taels of silver, he would no longer have to take the risk of collecting herbs.
Luzhou is only about a hundred kilometers away from the county seat.
He carefully put away the resurrection grass and kept it close to his body. He sent a message home, bought a dozen pancakes on the street, and then set off for Luzhou.
He never came back after he left.
Some people said that they had seen him on the official road to Luzhou. He was alone at that time and did not notice anything unusual.
Some people said that they had seen Su Song’s bag under the cliff. It was estimated that the man had fallen into the surging river below the cliff and drowned.
Some people said that there were bandits nearby, and it was estimated that Su Song was robbed and killed by those bandits.
Some people also said that his family had relatives in Luzhou, and the relatives there said that the nobleman surnamed An was still offering a reward for the resurrection grass. It seemed that Su Song never went to Luzhou to settle down and died on the way.
There are all kinds of rumors, all of which are terrifying and bad news.
The original owner received the letter and returned to Shanyan Village from the clinic. He took his younger brothers and sisters to search along the way and asked around, but ultimately found nothing.
Su Song just disappeared like that, no one saw him alive, and no one found his body after he died.
After the head of the family disappeared, the Su family was targeted by their brothers and villagers.
Lotus is weak and useless, easily influenced by others, and very easy to manipulate. The original owner was a daughter. The three sons of the Su family were all under ten years old. The fighting power of these three little boys was negligible, and the remaining two daughters who were about five years old were even more useless.
The Su family's three spacious and beautiful houses and the two acres of farmland on the East Mountain became a big piece of fat meat without an owner, making people drool.
Fortunately, the original owner was fierce and powerful, and had learned a lot of skills.
She tried her best and used all means to scare her uncles and aunts so much that they turned pale when talking about her. The neighbors around her didn't dare to pass by her house. She gained a reputation in the village for being fierce and vicious, and only then did she manage to keep her family business.
However, the original owner knew that these people were just evil wolves who had temporarily hidden in the shadows and temporarily suppressed their greedy faces.
They were always keeping an eye on him, plotting schemes and tricks in their minds, waiting for an opportunity to swallow up the family fortune that his father had worked so hard to accumulate.
She wouldn't let them have their way.
So after the original owner returned to the village, she worked even harder to collect and sell herbs. She wanted to raise her younger brothers and sisters so that those who were eyeing her would never dare to invade again.
Unfortunately, the original owner's wish had not yet been fulfilled as he was seriously injured and passed away.
It was at this time that Su Wanti's soul traveled through time.
After receiving the original owner's memories, she lowered her head and took out a resurrection grass from her chest.
"It was because of picking you that she fell off the cliff and lost her life..."
Under the midsummer starry sky, the twinkling stars illuminate the surroundings clearly, and the resurrection grass in the hand is clearly visible.
The herb was slightly deformed by the pressure, but not damaged at all. The leaves were crisp and green, and the purple flowers were charming and gorgeous.
A small herb actually claimed two lives in succession.
Su Wanti's eyes were deep and she sighed softly, then she put the herbs away and put them in her arms.
"Go home!" she said, standing up.
After the original owner fell off the cliff, he lay by the stream for an afternoon and a night. His family must have been very worried.
Su Wanti thought of the situation at the original owner's home and couldn't help but quicken her pace.
“Help…Help…”
"Is there anyone here..."
When Su Wanti heard the cry for help, her scalp went numb and she stopped.
She walked down the stream for half an hour when she suddenly heard voices coming from behind the low bushes ahead.
Maybe he is the target person of this small world?
Su Wanti thought to herself, and then walked lightly and cautiously towards the sound.
Pushing aside the branches of the bushes, she could see the scene clearly in the starlight.
A young man closed his eyes and groaned in pain. He had sword wounds on his body and his clothes were stained with blood.
"What's your name?" Su Wanti asked in a low voice.
"My name is An Jing, yes... yes..." Due to blood loss and pain, his consciousness was blurred and he answered vaguely.
Su Wanti frowned slightly. She remembered that the target person's name was Shang Xingjian.
The injured man doesn't seem to be lying, so he is not the target?
You can't just save a strange man. Who knows if he will repay you with evil or bring you harm?
Su Wanti's eyes dimmed slightly, she quietly let go of her hand, turned around quietly, and prepared to leave.
Suddenly, her neck felt cold, and a sword as cold as ice was across her neck.
A cold voice rang in her ears, "Save him!"
