Chapter 186 Return to Hongye Town Sect Master Huang Yitian
"Really?" Brother Dahuang was extremely excited.
Rong Zhen left room for further discussion. "That's what I read in the notes. Whether it's true or not will require verification by Divine Doctor Liu. A few miles ahead is Hongye Town, where there are forests of cotinus coggygria trees."
Brother Da Huang immediately turned to Divine Doctor Liu and said, "Divine Doctor, now that we've found the main medicine, if you can help me cure this illness, even if it can't be cured completely, at least alleviate it a little and prolong my life, I can guarantee that as long as I live, all expenses for you and me will be covered by the Xuanmen Sect."
He emphasized the word "all", meaning that in addition to covering the expenses of Liu Shenyi and his apprentice's medical treatment, food, clothing, housing and transportation in the future, he could also provide unlimited support for Liu Shenyi's research on poison materials.
It's not that he hadn't thought about using this method before, but Doctor Liu refused too firmly. He didn't even want to admit him, so how could he give him such an opportunity to show his affection?
But now it’s different, the main medicine has appeared, and his chance of survival has also come!
Divine Doctor Liu wiped his hands and rolled his eyes at him. "The girl didn't even make any promises, yet you believed them so readily."
"So you agree?" Brother Dahuang confirmed with surprise.
Divine Doctor Liu answered the question irrelevantly, "Let's go to Red Leaf Town first. When I passed by here before, I only thought the flowers in the forest were beautiful, and the leaves were also nice when they turned red. I never thought it could have such benefits."
Rong Zhen nodded in agreement. "Hongye Town has always relied on it for dyes, building materials, furniture, and other products. No one has yet discovered its medicinal value. If the miracle doctor can pioneer this, he will surely be remembered in history."
"Don't flatter me." Divine Doctor Liu nodded at her and pointed at Jing Shu lying on the carriage. "Even if you put on more, his poison won't be cured in a short time."
Rong Zhen saw that the people in the car looked much better after taking the antidote prepared by Divine Doctor Liu, but they were still unconscious. She asked worriedly, "What should we do?"
Otherwise, she would take the opportunity to throw the person to the pair of miracle doctors and their apprentices, and then run away?
This thought flashed through my mind, but ultimately it was defeated by my conscience.
Alas, who made her a good person?
Rongzhen frowned.
The cute Yuan Que took the initiative to relieve her worries and said, "What else can you do? Come with us to Hongye Town. It just so happens that you have nowhere else to go right now. With Master Huang traveling with you, I'm sure that even if the people sent by your uncle catch up and find you two, they won't be able to do anything to you."
Brother Da Huang spoke at the right moment, "If Miss Song is interested in going to Hongye Town with you, I will arrange the rest of your trip and ensure you don't have to worry about trivial matters."
Rong Zhen did not say that her original destination was Hongye Town. After pretending to hesitate, she readily agreed.
After making the decision, the group quickly had breakfast and set off.
Rongzhen was still driving his own carriage, with the donkey and the chestnut horse standing by, waiting to take turns.
Not long after the car started on the road, a slight cough was heard in the car. Rong Zhen, who was paying attention to the movement inside, heard it and immediately turned to look.
I saw the person lying on the bedding and leaning against the cargo had opened his silent phoenix eyes and was looking at the shaking roof without moving, as if he was still immersed in his own thoughts.
While driving the carriage, Rong Zhen paid him some attention and explained in a few words what happened after he fell into a coma.
Including the fabricated relationship between them, and the name 'Jingshu' she gave him based on the words engraved on the sword pendant. She hoped he wouldn't mind.
The swordsman, who had been sluggish since waking up, finally moved his head after hearing this. A little light flashed in his eyes as he looked over, and he said in a hoarse voice, "Thank you. My real name is Jingshu."
From then on, he was no one but Jingshu.
Rong Zhen then introduced herself, "My name is Song Xizhen. You can call me Zhenzhen or sister. From now on, I'll call you Jingshu or brother. Your injuries and poison still need treatment from Divine Doctor Liu. We can't reveal our true relationship yet. Besides, Young Master Huang is traveling with you, so you don't have to worry about those people chasing you."
After his injuries healed, the poison was removed, and Doctor Liu and Brother Dahuang left, they could sever their ties and go their separate ways.
By then, she will have repaid his kindness and will be able to live with her conscience.
Between Zhenzhen and his sister, Jingshu chose the latter, who was relatively less intimate, and said, "Sister, I'm going to trouble you next." Then he took out a purse from under his sleeve and handed it to her.
Rongzhen didn't bother to be polite and took it and opened it to take a look.
Wow, they are all small pieces of gold and silver, with no special marks. Some are in the shape of small ingots, some are like peanuts, and there are also some gold and silver beans that are very convenient to carry, easy to use, and have high purchasing power.
Did this guy hand over all the money he had?
Probably not, there must be more.
Rongzhen was not greedy. She accepted the bag of living expenses plus the babysitting fee and said to Jingshu in a friendly manner, "Are you thirsty or hungry?"
There were prepared pastries and water bags in the car, right next to him, ready for him to use at any time.
"Thank you." Jingshu thanked him again, took some food and water and ate slowly.
Rong Zhen waved her hand. "Don't be so polite. With the identities and relationship I fabricated about us, being too polite would only arouse suspicion."
Having an older brother in public would make it easier for her to settle down and gain a foothold in Hongye Town, so as to avoid being offended by some guys who look down on women or even want to take advantage of single women and wipe out their families.
Although Rongzhen is not afraid of them causing trouble, it cannot be too troublesome. She can't kill them all. How can she get married, have children and live her life if she does that?
On the contrary, having an older brother would be a little better. If someone dares to do something wrong and provoke him, he can teach him a lesson.
After he left, she had established herself and it was time to look for a marriage partner.
Jingshu had no idea what she was thinking, so he nodded in agreement.
After that, the two of them said nothing more. Rong Zhen concentrated on driving the carriage in front, following closely the large carriage in front which was moving at a fast speed.
Why is it called a big carriage? Because other people's carriages are pulled by two horses, but hers is only pulled by one horse or donkey. If she wants to keep up with others and not be left behind, she can only use some horses and donkeys. She will feed them well when she gets to the destination.
This was not done intentionally by Doctor Liu and the others, but because Young Master Huang was extremely anxious and wanted to rush to Hongye Town as soon as possible.
Rongzhen could understand, but her adopted brother behind her might not be able to stick to it.
"Puff!" The other party suddenly spat out a mouthful of blood without her noticing, which made her think that the car was going too fast and was too bumpy, causing his injuries to worsen. She stopped the carriage and wanted to call Doctor Liu in the car in front to come over and take a look.
Jingshu raised his hand to stop him: "No, I'm just regulating my breathing to force out the poison."
Ah, it turned out to be a misunderstanding.
Rong Zhen breathed a sigh of relief. Seeing the black blood he spat out on the handkerchief, she gently reminded him, "Divine Doctor Liu said you were poisoned by a strange poison. It's the first time he's seen it. If you want to completely remove it, he needs to study it further and think of a solution."
So brothers, don’t try it recklessly. What if the poison takes effect prematurely and you lose your life?
She went to so much trouble to save him, but it was all in vain.
Professional matters are best left to professionals.
Jingshu was silent for a moment and then said, "I know, I just want to try."
"What's the result?"
“It didn’t work.”
Well, it's worthy of its reputation as a strange poison, no wonder it has won the "favor" of Doctor Liu.
Rong Zhen gave him some advice, turned around and continued driving, mentally planning a wonderful life after buying a house and a shop in Hongye Town.
Since she came to this world, she has been touching corpses, looting, pretending to be a corpse picker, and selling sow postpartum care. Isn't it just to have enough capital and confidence to start such a new life?
Soon, her initial goal will be achieved.
Happy! (*^▽^*)
Thanks to Brother Dahuang's impatient and hurried driving speed, the two carriages shortened the journey to Hongye Town by nearly one-third.
Before entering the town, Rongzhen took out the bones and meat that he had prepared early in the morning. Before they could be used, people from the town came to meet him, fed the wild dogs and drove them away, and then gathered around two carriages and entered the town.
Rongzhen didn't understand what was going on, but based on the situation, she guessed that it might be Brother Dahuang's men.
Jingshu obviously understood the rules of the underworld better than her, and knew more about some people and things in the underworld than she did.
Noticing the confusion on her face, he gestured for her to look at the pattern of black mountains and green leaves embroidered on those people's clothes, saying that this was the logo of Xuanmen Shengji Pavilion, representing that those who came to pick them up were all from Xuanmen Shengji Pavilion.
In the past, there was a rumor in the martial arts world that the Xuanmen sect had a Shengji Pavilion, which was used to search for the secret elixir of longevity for the Xuanmen sect leader. However, people thought it was a rumor and never expected that such a person really existed.
Rongzhen just listened to it as gossip, and suddenly understood Brother Dahuang's identity.
He was seriously ill, mentioned Xuanmen, and was able to command the people of Shengji Pavilion in a short period of time. Could he be the leader of Xuanmen?
They entered Hongye Town with great fanfare. The two carriages were ushered into a five-story courtyard. Only when the gates were closed and only 'our own people' remained inside did Huang Yitian, the Xuanmen Sect's leader as Rong Zhen had suspected, disembark. He bowed and said to everyone, "Excuse me, everyone. We have subordinates of the Xuanmen's rival, Manyue Tower, here. I have been forced to mobilize such a large force. I hope you will forgive me."
Afterwards, he asked someone to give him his little gift, which was not a token of respect.
The so-called small token of his appreciation was just his modesty. Anything that the dignified Lord of Xuanmen could show off must not be a simple item.
The first thing given to Doctor Liu was a collection of medicinal herbs, a large courtyard with three entrances, a two-story building facing the street where he could open a shop, a box of precious medicinal materials, and two carts of poisonous flowers and herbs.
Doctor Liu ignored the first few, but the last one touched his heart and made him smile with joy.
The second one was given to Liu Yuanque. As the only disciple of Doctor Liu, he naturally enjoyed good treatment. He was given a lot of gold, silver, jewelry, gorgeous clothes, cakes and snacks. In the future, he could have whatever he wanted as long as he followed his master.
Then came Rong Zhen, who gave her a two-story house, a storefront facing the street, two new household registration certificates and five thousand taels of silver.
"How much?" Rong Zhen vaguely thought she had misheard.
She worked so hard for so many years and earned so little, and they gave her five thousand taels?!
Oh my god, is this how much money you make as a sect leader?
Huang Yitian welcomed new hope in life, and naturally he was extremely generous. He said very generously: "A mere five thousand taels is not worth a fraction of what Miss Song has done for me. I hope you will accept it."
This, this is so embarrassing, Rongzhen smiled awkwardly, but her hand took the thing quickly and accurately.
Give it to me, um, um, all of it is um.
Huang Yitian laughed out loud, waved his hand and handed over another object, which was a Tianshan Snow Lotus, saying: "This thing is useless to me, so I'd rather give it to your brother to detoxify him."
Tianshan Snow Lotus is a must-have miracle medicine in the world of Jianghu, and it is said to have many effects.
Rongzhen doesn't dare to accept this thing.
