Others are fleeing famine, but I am a salted fish

After thinking about it, I could only grit my teeth and endure it.

It’s really unpleasant.

Even though they were scared to death, they still had to explain. Otherwise, if they met unreasonable people who would accuse them of some crime, they would have no way to seek redress.

"My lords, yes, there is one among us..." The word "doctor" was just on the tip of his tongue when the head of the village remembered that he had not asked the three people for their opinions yet. It might not be a good idea to say it rashly, so he turned around and asked the three people with his eyes if he could say it.

As soon as he turned around, the village head regretted it.

Why was he so impulsive? Wasn't this putting the three doctors on the spot? He was so anxious that he wanted to slap himself twice.

The people who came over saw that the head of the village was hesitant and had no confidence. He also made an excuse of "discretion", which was clearly looking for trouble. They were upset and raised their feet to kick the head of the village.

After all, the village head is over fifty years old. If he were kicked hard by these soldiers, his old waist might be broken on the spot.

At the critical moment, Lin Xiaoyue rushed forward from behind without thinking and kicked against the soldier.

The soldier was not prepared for resistance and was hit. He fell backwards and hit his butt hard on the ground. He grimaced in pain and shouted, "You bastards, you dare to touch me, I think you are tired of living. Brothers, arrest them all, arrest them all, and make them all do corvée labor for me."

When the officers and soldiers nearby saw this, they thought they were troublemakers and rushed over with spears and short swords in hand, attacking the group.

Lin Xiaoyue was furious, and immediately prepared to fight these people head-on, thinking that she must do everything she can to delay these officers and soldiers and make them retreat to a safe place first.

"Stop, I am the 28th generation descendant of the Medicine Saint of Medicine King Valley, and I have the jade pendant as proof." Doctor Li raised his hand, holding the jade pendant high, and shouted loudly to stop the soldiers from stabbing with their spears.

Lin Xiaoyue and her group didn’t know it, but in larger places, the three words “Medicine King Valley” were as heavy as a thousand pounds, and everyone knew about it.

The commotion here was quite loud, and it really attracted the attention of the people around. Many officers and soldiers also squeezed through the crowd and rushed over. "What's going on? What are you doing? Didn't you read the rules written on the notice board? You don't want to make a good decision, right?"

The soldier who was kicked down by Lin Xiaoyue didn't expect that the other party actually had some background. However, he was humiliated to be kicked down in public by a little girl. How could he hold his head up in front of his colleagues in the future?

Moreover, if the other party said that he was the heir of Medicine King Valley, did he really become the heir of Medicine King Valley? Whether it was true or not, who could prove it with just his words and a broken jade pendant?

The officer glared at Lin Xiaoyue and her group fiercely, a gloom flashed across his eyes. When he saw his superior coming, he quickly got up and ran to complain with his numb buttocks, "Captain Wu, they are a mob. They just attacked me. I was calling on my brothers to arrest them all."

The man called Captain Wu was a non-commissioned officer in his forties wearing armor. Upon hearing this, he looked in the direction of the soldier's finger with sharp eyes at Lin Xiaoyue and his group.

"Are you the ones causing trouble?"

"I……"

Lin Xiaoyue had just opened her mouth when the village head quickly pulled her behind him and protected her with his hunched and skinny body. "Sir, Sir, listen to what the old man said. She is just a child and had no intention of offending you. I hope you will be magnanimous and let her go."

As he said this, the village head knelt down heavily on his knees, hugged Captain Wu's legs and cried, "Sir, we are all good citizens and don't want to cause trouble. The girl is just a child. Please let her go, please, sir."

"Sir, please let my child go. No matter how wrong I am, I am willing to bear the consequences for my child. Please let my child go. I beg you, sir." Miao ran forward quickly, pulled the daughter who was protected by the head of the village a step behind her, and knelt on the ground and kowtowed to the captain.

"I beg you, sir, to have mercy on me and spare my child." Regardless of his leg injury, Old Man Lin jumped off the backpack that Lin Xiaoyue was carrying, knelt beside Miao, and kowtowed to the magistrate together. After a few kowtows, his head was bleeding.

"Please, sir, let the child go..."

Except for the three doctors and the Luo family members who were squeezed behind the crowd, the Lin family's team fell to their knees and begged the official to show mercy and spare San Ya's life.

"You...you guys..." Lin Xiaoyue's eyes were red, and her heart seemed to be grasped by a pair of invisible hands, making her feel depressed and uncomfortable.

These people are obviously too weak to be looked at, but at the critical moment, they all protected him. Don't they know how dangerous it is to do so?

No, they knew. It was because they knew that they wanted to protect Lin Xiaoyue.

Along the way, it can be said that without Lin Xiaoyue, they would have been buried in some ditch long ago.

But no matter how strong Lin Xiaoyue is, in their eyes she is just a child who needs to be protected. Besides, who are the people on the other side? They are not wolves and wild dogs in the mountains, they are officials. What do officials represent? They have two mouths. If they say they want you to lose your head, you will lose your head.

There was no moment that made Lin Xiaoyue realize clearly the cruelty of this era.

This is not the modern world, not the society ruled by law where she grew up under the five-star rule of law.

There is no equality here. It is just the ancient times with clear class divisions. In the eyes of officials and dignitaries, the lives of ordinary people are worthless.

She lives under the five stars, protected by the law; she lives in the end times and has supernatural powers.

But what does she have here? She can't even protect the people around her, and she has to be protected by the weak...

Lin Xiaoyue was going crazy.

For a moment, she really wanted to take out the gasoline bottle from her backpack and fight these unreasonable bastards. No matter if the space was broken or the connection was disconnected, she had to fight her way out and let these idiots who were protecting her escape.

Just as Lin Xiaoyue was secretly communicating with the space, trying to get more gasoline bottles out, Wu Qianhu's sight completely passed them by and fell accurately on Yaowanggu Yujue.

To be honest, he had no idea whether this thing was real or not. He had only heard of the resounding name of Medicine King Valley, but he looked up and down at this fifty-year-old man who seemed to have an extraordinary aura, and he could not see that he showed any sign of guilt or falsehood.

After thinking for a while, he stepped forward and asked, "Sir, if you are really the heir of Medicine King Valley as you said, then besides the jade pendant, do you have any other items that can prove your identity?"

Captain Wu obviously did not believe Doctor Li just because of his casual words. He needed other more convincing evidence.

Doctor Li was a little confused for a moment and wanted to use the jade pendant to tap the other person's forehead so that he could see clearly. There were clearly three big characters "Medicine King Order" engraved on it. He was a thousand households, which was at least a decent official position if it was said to others. How come you can't even recognize the characters?
