Chapter 37: Awakening Abilities through Contract
"This Young Master Yue was once a man of extraordinary talent. He was the heir apparent of Duke Dingguo, holding the military power of the Tiger Tally and a renowned general. If he hadn't been severely injured in a battle, breaking his leg and injuring that area, leading to his abandonment by the Duke Dingguo's mansion, he wouldn't have ended up in this situation."
"His leg injury was very serious. It was said that even the imperial physician could not cure it. If our Young Valley Master had intervened at that time, could his leg have been cured?"
"Not everyone can see our Young Valley Master. Even we can't see him."
"Tell me, if the people in Duke Ding's Mansion knew that Master Yue was dead, would they blame us?"
"Humph, if anyone needs to blame someone, it should be his wife. That ugly, fat female beast is disgusting and should have died long ago. Besides, we are the Medicine King Valley. Our Valley Master and Young Master are so powerful. Who dares to offend us? No one will know what we do..."
Then Qiao Su Luo saw in her dream that Yue Hanzheng's body was carried to a place in the back mountain of Yaowang Valley where medicinal herbs were planted. They were going to bury him there.
Seeing this scene, Qiao Su Luo woke up from her sleep.
Qiao Su Luo was breathing heavily.
In her dream, she saw Yue Hanzheng being treated like that and seeing Yue Hanzheng die. For some reason, she felt a sense of suffocation in her heart.
The system also discovered that something was wrong with its host at this time, "Is the host having a nightmare?"
Qiao Su Luo muttered, "Well, I dreamed that Yue Hanzheng died."
The system didn't believe it at all. "How is that possible? Yue Hanzheng is an important villain in this world. He won't die so easily. Host, don't think too much."
"It was just a dream."
Qiao Su Luo also knew that it was just a dream, but the Yue Hanzheng she saw in the dream was so real.
Seeing him being treated like that by the people from Yaowang Valley, even though he knew it was poison, he would still drink it numbly. Every time after drinking it, his body would tremble with pain, but he endured it without making any sound.
Seeing that scene, even if it wasn't because of the mission, she couldn't bear it.
"It is said that he has been on the battlefield guarding the border since he was ten years old, and he still has scars of all sizes from the battles."
"He did so much to defend his country, why did Duke Ding treat him like that? And his predecessor even sold him to Medicine King Valley to be a medicine man. How cruel."
She grew up in a beautiful world and would never do something like her predecessor.
"If the host had redeemed him earlier, there wouldn't be so many problems."
Qiao Su Luo concentrated and said, "Yes, we still have to redeem Yue Hanzheng first. How much silver did my previous life sell him for?"
"Fifty taels of silver."
Qiao Suluo's expression changed. "Fifty taels of silver?"
The thirty-odd taels of silver she had was not enough to redeem the person.
But she still thought of one thing, "His leg is broken, can it be healed?"
"Can we ask the Master or Junior Master of Medicine King Valley to treat it?"
She also wanted to ask the people from Yaowang Valley to help cure Que Hongjin, Bai Qianluo and others.
But she also knew that she was not qualified to meet the Master or Deputy Master of Yaowang Valley now. Such people were not people she could meet.
The system said, "Host, I just investigated and discovered something. Your soul seems to have some peculiarities. If you form a true bond with the Beast Husband, you will be able to obtain the Divine Healer's inheritance."
Qiao Su Luo exclaimed, "What?"
"You actually asked me to do this kind of thing. If Que Hongjin and the others knew, they would definitely try to kill me."
As she spoke, Qiao Su Luo touched her neck. She still remembered the feeling of being pinched by Tu Shan Fei Shang.
The system knew that its host was emotionally dull and innocent, so it explained, "Although the host's beast husbands are now disabled, they themselves have powerful bloodlines. When they form a bond, they can stimulate some latent abilities and allow the host to awaken some abilities."
"The host will receive corresponding rewards for every beast husband he forms a pact with."
Even if there was a reward, Qiao Su Luo didn't think about it. She just thought about it and said, "I still have to find a way to ask the Valley Master or the Young Valley Master of Medicine King Valley to rescue people."
Based on her previous life's memories, she also knew that the threshold to enter Yaowang Valley was very high, and Yaowang Valley was divided into the inner valley and the outer valley.
The inner valley is the core area of Yaowang Valley.
All doctors in the outer valley must pass the inner valley assessment every year before entering the inner valley.
The predecessor was to sell Yue Hanzheng to a physician in charge of the outer valley. They took a fancy to Yue Hanzheng's physique and endurance, and wanted to turn him into a medicine man. If he had a breakthrough in medical skills, he might have a chance to be accepted into the inner valley.
As Qiao Su Luo pondered these things, the sky gradually brightened.
…
After breakfast, Qiao Su Luo, Que Hong Jin and Bai Qian Luo came to the county.
It had rained for three days, and the ground was still wet when they arrived.
They first went to Jinxiu Cloth Shop and delivered the doll there.
After delivering the doll, Qiao Su Luo took the 800 coins she received as payment and went back to the place where they had set up their stall before with Que Hong Jin and Bai Qian Luo.
They arrived at the stall. There were not many people at first, but because it was located on the main street, there were many people coming and going, and soon, people came to see the things on their stall.
After a while, old customers came over.
"It rained for the past three days, and I came here in the rain to buy some konjac noodles, but I didn't see you. Today, the rain stopped, and you finally came out to set up your stall."
"By the way, there's no tofu today? That tofu tastes really good."
Qiao Su Luo smiled and explained, "We didn't make tofu today, but we will have tofu tomorrow. However, we have malt sugar and peach blossom wine today. Auntie can buy some malt sugar and peach blossom wine."
She didn't know whether it would rain today, so she didn't soak the soybeans yesterday.
If the tofu is made and not sold on the same day, it will go bad, so it is not made.
Another old customer asked curiously, "What is peach blossom wine?"
They had never heard of peach blossom wine.
Just as Qiao Su Luo was about to explain something, she heard a sneering voice.
Qiao Su Luo looked in the direction of the voice and saw a woman in an orange dress standing not far away, looking at her with a look of contempt and disgust.
Qiao Su Luo didn't know her at all.
The man next to her, who was wearing a college student uniform, asked, "Qiumei, what's wrong?"
Lu Qiumei deliberately said loudly, "You also know that Qiao Erlin from the Qiao family insisted on marrying me, and even delayed breaking off the engagement for a long time. She is Qiao Erlin's sister, a fake daughter who was driven back from the capital."
"I heard that Qiao Feishuang deliberately swapped her daughters, letting a fake country girl grow up in a wealthy aristocratic family. This family is not a good family. Who knows if the things they sell are mixed with something bad."
The man in the academy uniform said with arrogance and contempt, "How dare such a person sell things?"
"I advise everyone not to buy things casually. If something goes wrong, the Qiao family will not be responsible and will only run away faster."
