Chapter 70 Just for this broken grass
"No." Mu Nanzhao denied it flatly, "You think too much."
"However, you did remind me that you can't just take these prescriptions away."
As he spoke, he pretended to reach out to take it back.
Meng Chengping was so scared that he hid the prescription behind him, "Brother Mu, we can talk!"
He thought of a solution in a hurry, "Yes, Brother Mu, just ask for any conditions you want. I will definitely agree to them if I can!"
Mu Nanzhao asked, "Any conditions are acceptable?"
Plague is the biggest problem right now. Meng Chengping nodded decisively, "Yes! Even if my ability is limited and I can't do it for the time being, I will help you present it to the general!"
Mu Nanzhao said calmly, "Don't bother with that, it's just a small matter."
He raised his eyes and glanced at Meng Chengping, "I want you to conceal the origin of the plague prescription. The old man likes quietness and does not like to be disturbed by the world. Don't let anyone have the opportunity to find out his information."
These words were actually the result of a discussion between Mu Nanzhao and Gu Xixi.
First, the old doctor’s background is still unclear, so it should continue to be buried as a secret.
Secondly, the old doctor refused to deal with people in the imperial court. If he spread his reputation as a miracle doctor this time, he would be afraid of all kinds of fame and fortune, coercion and inducement.
Meng Chengping breathed a sigh of relief and said with a smile, "I thought it was just a small matter. Leave it to me."
"Wait." Mu Nanzhao's eyes flashed, "I haven't finished yet."
"All these things were hard-earned. The rat extermination plan was thought up by Gu Xixi. Do you have the nerve to take them for free?"
Meng Chengping stared at him for a moment, then suddenly realized, "I know!"
"Brother Mu, don't worry. I will go back and ask the general for the reward and commendation for my sister-in-law."
"I promise that once this method is promoted and effective, I will immediately redeem it. How about that?"
Mu Nanzhao walked back with his hands behind his back, "Forget about the commendation, she likes practical things."
Ten days have passed, and when you walk in Stone Village, you can no longer see rats running all over the ground.
The rat fire had dwindled to its last two.
What is even more gratifying is that the plague patient in Zhao Si's family has recovered, and there has not been a second case in the village in the past ten days.
The government invited two doctors to go into the village for inspection and decided to remove the blockade at the village entrance after noon today.
Under the big elm tree on the mountainside, they were busy packing up their belongings.
Village Chief Zhao came over with a bullock cart and tried to persuade the old doctor to stay again and again, "Old doctor, we were blind and neglected you in the past. There is no local doctor in Shitou Village. If you can forgive the past, you can stay..."
Gu Xixi glared at Village Chief Zhao and said, "My uncle has already agreed to come back home with me to live in old age. It's not a good idea for Village Chief Zhao to snatch him from me at this time, right?"
Village Chief Zhao quickly apologized with a smile, "No, no, I'm just expressing my reluctance to part with the miracle doctor."
"Of course, if Miss Gu and her family can move here, we would be most welcome to do so."
Gu Xixi put a big bag on the car and said, "Your abacus beads are about to fall to Huachidu Village."
"My fields and my house are over there, how can I move?"
"Besides, we don't have a doctor in Huachidu Village."
Village chief Zhao smiled awkwardly, not angry at all. Everyone present was a benefactor, and he liked to listen to whatever they said.
The old doctor laughed and said, "Xixi is just joking with you."
"The two villages are not far from each other. From now on, if anyone needs medical treatment, just come to me."
"Okay, okay. I feel relieved when you say that." Village Chief Zhao nodded and bowed, expressing his gratitude.
Mu Nanzhao came over carrying a large jar.
Gu Xixi couldn't help but glance sideways a few more times.
Normally, he is seen in an immaculately dressed manner, like an immortal. But at this moment, with his sleeves rolled up and the look on his face as he was seriously moving something heavy, he seemed a bit more...human.
Mu Nanzhao looked up at this moment, and their eyes met. Gu Xixi calmly stretched out his right hand towards him.
"Where are the things I asked you to bring from home?"
After a moment.
Gu Xixi squatted under the wooden shed and dug the soil carefully.
Mu Nanzhao watched from behind with a dark face.
"So the reason you asked me to take a detour back that day was just for..."
He almost gritted his teeth when he said the last part, "This damn grass."
"This is not bad grass." Gu Xixi said without raising her head, "Maybe it is good grass that can fill the stomachs of more people."
She dug a little at a time and finally dug out the wild corn grass with its roots.
Pour some powder from the vial and dissolve it in a little water.
The root system is somewhat damaged, so it needs to be soaked in rooting water before being transplanted into a small wooden pot.
While soaking in the water, Gu Xixi grabbed the calico cat on the ground and stuffed it directly into Mu Nanzhao's arms.
"And this one, move it with us too."
"You go ahead, I'll come back soon after I'm done planting."
There was suddenly a soft, furry thing in Mu Nanzhao's arms.
His body stiffened, and he looked down in shock, meeting a pair of emerald green eyes.
“Meow~!”
"Gu Xixi!!!"
Sitting on the ox cart leaving the village, Mu Nanzhao sneezed from time to time.
The old doctor sighed, "This is caused by evil spirits. Due to different physical conditions, when people come into contact with certain sensitive objects, their skin will develop rashes, and their throats and noses will itch from time to time."
"Generally, those with mild symptoms do not need to take medicine. Just avoid touching that thing and it will be fine after a while."
Gu Xixi hugged Xiaohua and said apologetically, "I'm sorry, I didn't know you can't touch cats."
Mu Nanzhao's eyes were sharp, "Stay away from me."
The blockade at the entrance to the village has been removed, and Shitou Village has regained its life, as lively as during the Chinese New Year.
The main road leading to the village entrance was full of people.
When the ox cart passed by, the crowds on both sides suddenly stopped and smiled at the people on the cart.
"Thank you, old doctor!!"
"Thank you Miss Gu!!"
Everyone roared in unison, followed by laughter.
Immediately afterwards, vegetables, fruits and eggs were stuffed into the car one by one.
In the chaos, Gu Xixi couldn't tell who put each thing there.
"Village Chief Zhao, this is..."
Village Chief Zhao turned around and smiled, "We all had to come and give you a present. This little bit is far from enough to express our gratitude. Please don't be disgusted and accept it."
The old doctor nodded and said, "Xixi, it's a kind gesture from someone, don't refuse it."
When the car was about to drive out of the village, several more people rushed out and knelt down in the middle of the road.
"Thank you, doctor, for saving my life!"
Gu Xixi looked carefully and said to the old doctor, "It's Zhao Si's family, and the boy you treated."
The old doctor stopped the car, got out and walked to the few people, bent down to support them, and asked them to stand up.
"I've already said that this is what I should do, you don't have to do this."
As the two sides were talking, Gu Xixi said to Mu Nanzhao, "Master was once treated coldly and looked down upon here."
"Now that it's finally over, he should be happy."
Mu Nanzhao's eyes were cold and indifferent, which was out of tune with the bustle around him.
"What is there to be happy about? It's just the worldly human nature to use people forward and not use them backward."
In Huachidu Village, I saw Aunt Zhang and Lao Qian standing at the entrance of the village from afar.
Gu Xixi was surprised and asked, "How did they know we were back?"
