Chapter 360 A Century of Prestige
Jin Diandian almost choked to death.
I tried to comfort them out of kindness, but the brat didn't appreciate it. I'm not going to waste my breath arguing with them!
"Son, go plant some herbs! Look at how much these villagers are planting, it's like they're trying to burst the land with their sap!"
"Yes, we must know that too much of a good thing can be bad. Look at these grasses, all huddled together. No matter how much fertilizer there is in the ground, it's not enough for them to eat. How can we grow high-quality medicinal herbs?"
As Jin Duoduo spoke, he plucked a clump of medicinal seedlings and threw it out.
The landowner almost went up to beat him, but was stopped by his two brothers who were guarding them.
"It's alright. If they try anything funny, just chop them up and use them as fertilizer for your medicinal herb field."
The mother and son trembled with fright.
Si Xi seemed to be deep in thought.
"It sounds like you really understand. It's like weeding out weeds when planting crops."
"Of course! I've been growing herbs for thirty years. I've learned the habits of each herb through years of observation and practical experience!"
Jin Diandian plucked another blade of grass and threw it away. "How can you plant mint with ordinary herbs? With it there, nothing else can grow."
"And the Scutellaria baicalensis needs sunlight. Can it thrive if you plant it under a big tree?"
"Coptis chinensis and Evodia rutaecarpa should not be put together, as their medicinal efficacy will be reduced..."
...
Si Xi and Wang Jincai's eyes lit up as they listened.
They really are experts at growing medicinal herbs!
Looking at the surprised group of people, Jin Diandian and her son felt a sense of pride and satisfaction.
"Now you know how powerful we are, right?"
"Amazing! Absolutely amazing!" Sixi clapped his hands.
"I've found a way to get my aunt to pay attention to me. I'm going to learn how to grow medicinal herbs! And I'll grow them better than everyone else!"
"Jin Cai, go get me paper and pen, I need to write this down!"
"Okay!"
Wang Jincai was overjoyed to see that Sixi was in good spirits again, and he ran off in a flash.
Jin Diandian and her son let out a soft "heh".
"If you want to learn, does that mean we have to teach you? This is experience that my daughter and I have painstakingly accumulated; we won't teach it to anyone else!"
"You won't teach me? If you won't teach me, I'll chop you up and use you as fertilizer! Brothers, tie them up!"
The two brothers immediately grabbed the two men.
Huh? No, what happened to the eldest disciple who was supposed to be neglected?
"Teach, teach, we'll teach!"
Si Xi chuckled coldly, his arrogant little face revealing a ruthlessness beyond his years.
“Teach me! Explain every herb to me in detail. I will remember it all and even go out to find people to identify it. If there is any falsehood, I will tell my aunt. My aunt said that there is not a single good person in the Holy Medicine Sect. Those who do evil will have their hearts, livers, and kidneys ripped out!”
Don't take advantage of your poor brains to slack off! Those who don't work will be killed!
"..."
The mother and son hugged each other, feeling suffocated.
Mother, didn't you say that Third Aunt was very kind? How could her daughter be so cruel?
I don't know, maybe she takes after her dad! Her dad must be a big bad guy!
It was evening.
Si Xi took a stack of papers to show Lu Qingqing.
"Auntie, I think those two are really stupid. Besides knowing about Chinese herbal medicine, they are completely useless."
"Some people are very good at pretending. In short, it won't hurt to keep an eye on them."
Lu Qingqing looked at the papers and her eyes lit up.
These two are really experienced in growing herbs; compared to them, she's a complete novice.
Although she didn't know if everything in it was correct, Lu Qingqing was familiar with several of the herbs in it, and the planting methods were all correct.
"Sixi, you have to dig out everything they know!"
"Auntie, they didn't do anything bad?"
"I don't know yet. Don't worry, I'll definitely have someone verify it."
If you dare to do anything evil, I'll rip out your heart, liver, and kidneys!
...
I'm exhausted after a long day.
Jin Diandian and Jin Duoduo, exhausted, moved into the abandoned thatched hut.
“Son, I have never suffered like this in my entire life.”
"Mother, me too. We really shouldn't have come."
"I don't want to eat cornbread anymore."
"Mother, my hands are rough from being worn out and my face is tanned. What's wrong with the people in this village? So many girls in the Holy Medicine Sect wanted to marry me, why do they all look down on me here?"
Especially that old woman Liu, whenever she saw me she called me a skinny little chicken, a heartless man, and an old hag! It made me so angry!
Jin Diandian stopped eating her cornbread.
He looked at his son's face for a moment and patted his son's chest.
“You’re not skinny, but you have muscles when you take your clothes off. I’ve thought of a good idea.”
"Mother, what's the solution?"
"Go and seduce Lu Qingqing!"
“You’re really my mother. She’s so terrible, I don’t like her at all.”
"Are you stupid! Who told you to like her? If you get her, you'll make her less watchful so we can escape!"
The guy listening outside: "..."
Listening to their conversation here, I feel like my mental age has dropped to that of an eight-year-old...
The following day.
The mother and son were still dreaming when they were jolted awake by the sound of a gong.
"Get up! Follow me!"
"Where are you going? We haven't eaten yet! We don't have the energy to work!!!"
The two people were dragged into the mountains while wailing.
In the mountains and forests, more than a hundred people were tied to trees.
Lu Qingqing was sharpening a large machete on a rock with a "sizzling" sound.
As soon as the mother and son arrived, she turned around and gave them a sinister smile.
"I heard someone's trying to seduce me?"
"Mother! I dare not, I dare not, I was wrong, please don't kill me!" Jin Duoduo's legs went weak and she knelt on the ground.
Jin Diandian was also trembling all over.
Most importantly, how many of the people tied to the tree looked familiar to her?
Lu Qingqing stood up, her face, which bore a striking resemblance to Shan Yueming, beaming with a bright smile.
The dappled sunlight filtering through the leaves danced on her face.
How beautiful!
If it weren't for the hundred or so half-dead men tied to the tree.
"They...they are..."
"Yes, they are the ones sent by your Holy Healer Sect to investigate."
Jin trembled slightly, "You want to... kill them?"
"Why kill them? They're all so strong, what a waste."
Jin Diandian breathed a sigh of relief.
"Actually, you don't need to do this. You just want a share of the pie. The Holy Medicine Sect doesn't take over all of Daqian's business. Everyone relies on their own abilities. Why do you have to oppose us?"
If you want to avenge your mother, you only need to kill the sect leader. Your blatant slander of the Holy Medicine Sect has already aroused the dissatisfaction of all doctors in the world. Do you really think that the Holy Medicine Sect's century-old prestige can be so easily destroyed?
Oh, you're too young.
Lu Qingqing smiled.
"A century of prestige? Do you really think the Holy Healer Sect is still a mountain in people's hearts?"
This mountain has been crumbling for a long time.
You didn't see it? In the city, which is monopolized by the Holy Physician Sect, the price of medicine has been rising year after year, and the people dare not enter the clinic until they die.
"Didn't you see how many doctors died mysteriously because the Holy Physician Sect suppressed dissent?"
A booklet was thrown hard at Jin Diandian's face.
"Take a good look! The Holy Healer Sect, with its century-long prestige, built its overwhelming power by stepping over countless corpses!"
