[Chapter 124 Chapter 124 Ascending to Immortality]
After sending the medicines home, Shen Yuyao was a little absent-minded in everything she did for the next few days.
She has been worrying about her family.
I have to perform in front of the emperor.
Just thinking about it made Shen Yuyao's heart tighten into a ball, and she didn't dare to think about it any further.
Although her father was reluctant to tell her second brother about this in advance, he did not hide it from her.
Because her help is indeed needed.
For example, show your uncle how to transport something.
But precisely because of this, Shen Yuyao has been worried these past few days and has never been able to let it go.
That morning, as soon as Cheng Liyan stood up, Shen Yuyao sat up too.
"Why are you up so early? It's not even daybreak yet."
Shen Yuyao rubbed her eyes and said, "I can't sleep. I'll get up and cook some porridge."
My father has been carrying the jade plate with him these days.
In order to avoid any accidents, I told her in advance that if she did not receive any letters from home, she could not contact them through Xiaowan.
Shen Yuyao can no longer receive food from her mother.
Although there were some things saved in the cabin, most of them were for lunch and dinner, and there was nothing left for breakfast.
Cheng Liyan touched the red marks on his wife's shoulder left last night, and said distressedly: "Don't cook anymore, you sleep a little longer. I'll come back from exercise later and cook some noodles..."
"Ah!" Shen Yuyao suddenly screamed.
Her face turned pale instantly, and she jumped up and hugged Cheng Liyan.
She pressed her face against his neck, her eyes tightly closed, not daring to open them.
"What's wrong? What happened?" Cheng Liyan was startled by his wife who suddenly threw herself into his arms.
He looked around warily.
But the house was still the same house, and he didn't see any danger.
He held his wife's butt with one hand and stroked her back soothingly from top to bottom with the other hand.
He kept comforting her: "Don't be afraid, don't be afraid. Tell me what happened. Who bullied you? I'll beat him up!"
The tone didn't sound like coaxing a wife at all, it was more like coaxing a daughter.
Don’t say that this kind of comfort is effective for Shen Yuyao.
Her tense body slowly relaxed in her husband's arms.
"Head, pig head..." Shen Yuyao stuttered, sounding still frightened.
"There's a pig's head in the hut."
Cheng Liyan: “?”
“And the heads of cows and sheep.
Bloody, and so were their bodies.
The head and body are separate!
My father, my father actually asked them to send all the animals for sacrifice to my house!"
Shen Yuyao was obviously really scared.
After I realized what was happening, I was so angry again.
As he spoke, he couldn't help crying: "I want to find my mother! I want to tell my mother that my father bullied me and threw a pig's head into my room!"
Cheng Liyan: “…”
The expression on his face looked extremely complicated, even a little distorted.
The way he tried to hold back his laughter made people doubt whether he was trying hard to hold back his laughter!
Cheng Liyan took a deep breath and tried to comfort her in a gentle tone: "Don't cry, don't cry for now.
Yaoyao, tell me, what is the situation now?
How can it be a sacrifice? What are the three animals and five livestock? Why should they be sent to your house?"
With her husband by her side, Shen Yuyao's emotions finally calmed down.
Although my hands and feet were still cold and my mind was still confused, my soul had finally returned.
Actually, it's not her fault.
Anyone else just wanted to go into the hut to see if there was anything they could have for breakfast, but suddenly a huge bloody pig's head appeared out of nowhere next to them!
The shock she felt must have been no less than hers!
Shen Yuyao rubbed her husband's neck, wiped the tears from her face, and then reached out her hand.
A letter appeared out of thin air in his hand.
Cheng Liyan took a look at the strong handwriting on the envelope and immediately knew that it was from his father-in-law.
He put his wife back on the bed and sat her down, then opened the letter and began to read.
Prime Minister Shen wrote in the letter what had happened over there in the past few days.
He told his daughter and son-in-law that the emperor had summoned the imperial physician and asked them to study those medicines.
The imperial doctors were unable to determine the medicinal ingredients used in the pills, but they quickly determined that the medicine was non-toxic.
Then they saw the two prescriptions written by Old Man Gu.
After seeing it, everyone exclaimed “Wonderful” and said it was a magical recipe they had never seen before!
Finally, the imperial doctors looked at the "Barefoot Doctor's Manual" again. After reading it, they kowtowed to the emperor together and said that this magical book was a blessing from heaven for the unparalleled country.
Many of the Chinese herbal medicines listed there are not even known to the Imperial Medical Service, and the prevention and treatment of infectious diseases mentioned therein will be of great help in this epidemic!
These words made the emperor very happy!
Afterwards, the emperor sent someone to quickly deliver the medicine to the military camp, and the imperial physician supervised the patients to take it according to the instructions.
At the same time, he made a decoction according to the prescription given by the old man and asked all the soldiers, sick or not, to drink a bowl of it.
They also sent people to clean up the barracks in accordance with the regulations on the prevention of infectious diseases in the Barefoot Doctors Manual...
In just two days, the epidemic in the military camp was completely under control.
The patients' conditions began to improve significantly, and no new patients appeared.
In addition, several dying soldiers recovered after taking the supplements specially prepared for them.
The emperor was overjoyed and immediately said that he would build a Taoist temple for Shen Yuyao and send a female Taoist priest to preside over it!
Then, he was dissuaded by Prime Minister Shen.
Finally, at his suggestion, the emperor decided to build a Taoist temple for prayers in Xuantong Temple. He would be there in person, and civil and military officials would also accompany him.
A grand ceremony was held to thank Shen Yuyao for bringing blessings to Wushuang Country...
When Cheng Liyan saw that someone wanted to build a Taoist temple for his wife, he finally couldn't help but burst into laughter.
He laughed so hard that he held his stomach and bent over.
Shen Yuyao hadn't completely stopped sobbing yet when she saw her husband laughing like this!
She was suddenly angry and annoyed, so she grabbed the pillow and threw it at him.
"You're still laughing! Find a way to get rid of those things! Those things... I don't even dare to enter the hut!"
When Shen Yuyao closed her eyes, the scene in front of her still appeared suddenly like the pig head.
She almost suffocated when she thought about what she had just experienced.
She didn't dare to sink her consciousness into the space at all.
But even if she didn't look, she could actually feel that there was a steady stream of tributes coming into her space through the divine bowl.
After reading her father's letter, she learned that her father and his second uncle had discussed and decided to send all the rewards and offerings from the emperor to her.
For this purpose, my father even placed a white jade plate on the altar, just to let everyone see the "miracle" with their own eyes!
Prime Minister Shen had told Shen Yuyao about his thoughts before.
Prime Minister Shen has actually been very worried since he got in touch with his daughter.
He knew that he couldn't keep the fact that his daughter was in contact with his family a secret forever.
No matter how capable a wife is, and how well she manages the household, it won’t go wrong.
As long as this kind of interaction does not stop, it is only a matter of time before the information is leaked.
There is no wall that is completely airtight.
Delivering the medicine carries the risk of making their entire family outcasts.
But if handled well, it could become a talisman that protects their family for generations.
So after those medicines showed their magical powers, he wanted to let more skeptical people see with their own eyes the fact that the tribute was accepted in this Taoist temple!
This proves that his daughter has indeed ascended to become an immortal!
...So, because her father wanted those people to see the tribute disappear, she would be forced to accept these pig heads, cow heads, and sheep heads?
And their headless, bloody bodies?!
Only she can enter that hut, and only she can see those things.
When Shen Yuyao thought about having to face and deal with those things independently, she felt like she was going to collapse!
When she came to her senses, she saw her husband hugging his pillow and smiling like a fool, with no intention of solving the problem for her at all.
Shen Yuyao was so angry that she couldn't even cry!
She jumped off the bed, grabbed Cheng Liyan and walked towards the cabin.
"Don't worry, don't worry, I'll help you find a solution... Damn it!"
Cheng Liyan was pulled by his wife and walked while laughing.
But just as he entered the hut, before he could finish his sentence, he saw a headless fat pig suddenly appear in the open space in the middle of the house!
