"Waste, such waste!"
An old man with white hair and beard stamped his feet, put his hands on his hips, pointed at a group of people in black and roared.
The leader of the men in black bowed his head, clasped his fists, and said to a man reclining on the bed, "Master, we have searched the entire county and have not found a girl who fits your description. Please punish me."
"Back off." The master said, and a group of people left quickly.
The person leaning on the bed was the sick beauty that Gu Xinran rescued today.
The old man said to the person on the bed with a sullen face, "Mingzhan, the information you provided is 'excellent medical skills, not particular about details, young girl, with a clear voice'. There are no physical characteristics. It's no wonder your guards couldn't find her. Think about it carefully. Is there anything else you can find?"
The sick beauty closed her eyes and rested, like a quiet painting. He recalled the scene at that time. In the haze, he heard a pleasant girl's voice, saying that he was handsome, saved, capable, and very expensive. He just thought that such a straightforward and bold person was very interesting. He opened his thin lips and said, "That's it."
A young man in red, who was neither standing nor sitting properly, said lazily, "Doctor Ling, you know that Ming Zhan was in the early stages of the poisoning and was completely unconscious. It's good that he can remember these details. And I've never heard of any outstanding female doctors in Dafeng County."
The old man shook his head helplessly. "You all should pay attention. This Nine-Day Soul-Eating Gu, if it continues to develop like this, Mingzhan will have less than three months left. The potion that girl gave today can not only detoxify the insect toxins, but also replenish the body's essence and blood. It's simply a life-saving miracle drug! If you can take it long-term, surviving without an outbreak is not a dream."
The sickly beauty Ming Zhan frowned slightly, "Really?"
The man in red sat up straight with a serious expression, "Really?"
The two asked in shock at the same time.
Doctor Ling was so angry that he blew his beard and glared, "How can you say that? You have verified it today. I really want to study and find out how it is matched! There are always people who are better than you!"
The Nine Heavens Soul-Eating Gu is the most venomous Gu in the world. Junior high schoolers might not notice it, but as the worm grows, it continuously sucks the body's essence and blood, transforming it into toxins. When the toxins accumulate to a certain level, the worm erupts. The initial eruption causes the host to lose consciousness, their body then spirals out of control, becoming violent and brutal, killing anyone they meet and even killing gods. After an eruption, the host is left vulnerable for a long time before recovering, and then the next round begins again. This is the nightmare cycle. Once the worm fully matures, the more essence and blood it consumes, the more toxins it produces, and the more frequent the eruptions become. The host can no longer sustain the consumption, ultimately expiring.
The old man consulted a large number of ancient books before he found a cure. Now he is still short of two main ingredients, "Resurrection Grass and Soul-Calming Mushroom", but the sick beauty is almost dying.
The sickly beauty gave the order: "Qi Da, expand the area and continue searching."
A cold response came from outside the window: "As you command."
The man in red walked to the door and instructed his followers, "Tell all the shops, restaurants, inns, and banks on the Xiangyuan... to keep an eye out for a girl with medical skills and a generous personality. Anyone who provides useful information will be rewarded with 100 taels of silver."
"Wait, let me add one more thing, the ones with the golden melon seeds and peanuts with the word 'Zhan' on them." When the sick beauty heard about the money house, she remembered that the golden melon seeds and peanuts in his stolen purse were custom-made, and they all had a small "Zhan" mark on them. This was also a clue.
The old man was slightly happier. More clues meant more paths. Then he frowned and looked at the sick beauty in confusion: "You had an attack of the poison just a few days ago. The next attack should be ten days later. How come it suddenly happened earlier?"
The man in red sighed, "Ming Zhan said that when he was leaving the restaurant at noon, someone with a strange fragrance and a veil on their head brushed past him, and then he started to feel sick. He had no choice but to find a secluded place and wait for the secret guards to come. Unexpectedly, the first person they met was a woman, maybe even a beautiful one. He's lucky, and now he has another way out."
Divine Doctor Ling concentrated for a moment, "It might be the soul-attracting incense, which will cause the soul-devouring insects to riot. These bugs are so stubborn that they won't die. Zhan'er, from now on, let Qi Da serve you personally, and no strangers are allowed to approach within ten feet."
The sickly beauty frowned slightly, hummed, and then said, "Yun Chi, is there any news about the resurrection grass?"
The young man in red scratched his head. "Not yet. The Daqing Mountains are very long, so it might take a while."
Sick Beauty: "Tomorrow, we'll go into the mountains."
Gu Xinran, who is being looked for by people, is doing evening exercise - space farming.
Twenty large white radishes, twenty mustard heads, ten cabbages weighing more than ten pounds, a large basket of wild vegetables, and a pound of soybeans.
Chewing on the juicy radish and looking at the lovely fruits of labor beside the spiritual spring, Gu Xinran smiled like a fool.
Cabbage, radish, and mustard greens have only just begun to sprout, so it's hard to explain why they're being taken out. Pickled radish, kimchi, and mustard greens can be prepared. Wild vegetables and soybeans can supplement the family's meals.
What should I plant next? Four square meters of wild vegetables and soybeans, and the rest of the space for wheat. There's never too much food, and no worries about what to use. This little space can hold a lot for storage, but it's too small for planting. Even if the yield is high, the harvest won't be much, and getting rich is out of the question.
It would be a waste of space to plant these things. It would be worthwhile to use it to plant precious medicinal herbs.
She had to find an opportunity to go deep into the mountains. It had been untouched for a long time, and perhaps there were ginseng, ganoderma, Polygonum multiflorum, and other valuable medicinal herbs waiting for her to dig. One year in the space was equivalent to ten years. It would be very dangerous for others to go deep into the mountains, but she could hide in the space without fear.
In order to have a good retirement life soon, I need to buy land, houses, and manors. I can't stop making money. I have to work hard. My whole family has to work hard. My eldest brother is strong and good at martial arts, and my younger brother has a good memory and can learn literature. I will help them find teachers tomorrow. They will study until they die.
After planting the wheat, we sorted out the supplies we prepared for today. It was a great harvest. All kinds of food utensils were sorted and packed in baskets or jars and stacked up layer by layer.
If it doesn't rain, the crops will fail next year, and the price of grain will soar. There may even be unrest, and we will have to store more grain. We really can't just sit back and relax.
Don’t think about it, just deal with it as it comes. Let’s have a late-night snack to celebrate the space upgrade.
It’s good to have space. The wontons are still steaming hot when taken out. Add an apple and a sip of spring water, and it’s perfect.
Oh, bean sprouts, grow up quickly!
Today is a day when spiritual spring water is in abundance. Gu Xinran looked at the spring water in the small porcelain bottle and smiled foolishly. Beauty, health and wealth all depend on it.
Go to sleep and let everyone roll up tomorrow.
