The princess only wants to get rich and support her family

Hu Luanfei had a bad feeling in her heart. This matter was strange. She felt that if she stayed here any longer, something that she didn't want to see would definitely happen in the village.

She slept on the same kang with the old woman and the baby last night, and there was a fierce robbery and fight in the middle of the night. She woke up shortly after the criminals entered the house, but the two of them were still sleeping soundly. In addition to the illness, Jiang Shi and she were very close, but she was fine, but he was. There must be a conspiracy.

Hu Luanfei smiled coldly: "How dare you play this poisoning trick in front of me? You are really bold. Jiang Shi, you must investigate it carefully."

"Yes." Jiang Shi thought for a moment, "Do you think that doctor is very strange, a bit like the robber last night?"

Hu Luanfei snorted, his expression becoming even more indifferent, "A robber was stabbed by me with a pair of scissors. Go back and test to see if the doctor is injured."

A thought suddenly flashed through Jiang Shi's mind, "You said... the epidemic in the village has been recurring and not getting better, could it be those people who are behind it?"

Hu Luanfei showed a look of surprise, "You think so too?"

"Brother Li said that the doctor would charge a high fee for treatment. Those who could afford it would be saved, and those who couldn't would die. Moreover, shortly after the flood broke out, the imperial court had already distributed various relief items. Do you think that baby family looked like they had received any financial assistance?"

"Don't look like it." Suddenly thinking of the person who saved her, Hu Luanfei looked around. She was lying on a large flat rock under the sun, with a high cliff next to her.

Looking behind Jiang Shi, there was a very clean cave two meters away, with all the furniture. There was a rope tied between two big trees nearby, where some clothes and wild vegetables were hung to dry.

"By the way, where are Brother Li and his wife?"

"Brother Li went hunting, and Sister Li just fell asleep after taking medicine."

"Help me over there and take a look."

After I stood up, I realized that from the location of the big rock, I could see the whole picture of the nearby village. There were only one or two families sparsely scattered on the periphery, and the village was located just over a slope, with many flowers and plants, colorful and beautiful, like a paradise.

The sharp-eyed Hu Luanfei recognized that one of the two families on the outskirts belonged to the old woman, and her grandson started to trouble the big goose again.

"So my parents are watching us." But why don't you go home?

The man didn't look sick, he was strong and a good hunter. How could the couple bear to leave their family behind?

When she entered the cave and saw Mrs. Li, she was deeply slapped in the face by her dirty thoughts just now. She even felt a little guilty.

She had never seen such a woman before, with a gray face, sunken eye sockets, bloodless thin lips, and hair like dry yellow weeds. She was so thin that there was not a pound of flesh on her body. Even mice shook their heads when they saw her.

Hu Luanfei's fingertips trembled. "What's wrong with her?"

"Brother Li said he was poisoned like me, but he didn't have the money to get treatment so he was driven out of the village. Plus, he had a confinement disease, so he kept putting it off until it became like this."

"Brother Li knows medicine, doesn't he?"

“I roughly understand.”

I'm afraid he was forced out.

The current situation does not allow people to continue to be bad.

Hu Luanfei sighed secretly and didn't want to talk anymore. Anyway, Brother Li saved her life, and the old woman took them in for a night. She gave her the space water to try, which was her way of repaying them.

Considering the negative example Jiang Shi had set before, Hu Luanfei didn't dare to guarantee that the space water would have any effect on Mrs. Li, so he just treated it as a last resort.

"My lady, our current schedule..."

"Go into the village and find out the truth about the epidemic."

When Brother Li was about to come back, Hu Luanfei took the note left by Jiang Shi and some medicinal and blood-replenishing foods, and told him that everything was fine at home, and then set off.

Passing by an old woman's house, he told her about his and her couple's situation. After receiving the old woman's many thanks, he drove into the village.

The village and outside the village are completely two different worlds.

The village was well restored. Although it didn't have red walls and high tiles, it wasn't as dilapidated as the old woman's house. Everyone had a smile on their face, whether it was courtesy or hypocrisy, but when they saw Hu Luanfei's carriage, their eyes sparkled, not at all reserved.

Hu Luanfei thought that if it had not been in broad daylight, the carriage would have been lost long ago.

The largest and most luxurious buildings in the village are the doctor's and the village chief's houses. They are the same as the residential buildings she had seen in Beiqiu. If they were in modern times, they could be considered the homes of wealthy families.

There is a phenomenon that the villagers here all have similar complexions. Their complexions are yellowish and dark, and their eyes are expressionless. Some people have dull eyes and are thin, as if they have been drained of their yang energy.

"My lady, look at the beautiful flowers those children have planted."

Hu Luanfei followed Jiang Shi's gaze and her expression froze instantly when she saw the pink, fan-shaped flower in the child's hand.

This flower is rice husk flower!

She got off the carriage and walked up to the child. "Can you tell aunt what this is used for?"

When the child saw that Hu Luanfei was a stranger, he immediately ran away and walked into a farmhouse. He paused slightly, turned around, looked at her, and then went into the house.

After a while, an old man holding a pipe came out, squinting his eyes and looking at them.

When he saw the carriage behind Hu Luanfei, his eyes lit up and he immediately became polite, warmly inviting her into the house.

There was smoke rising from the house, but Hu Luanfei did not step in.

"Uncle, the flowers your grandson grows are very beautiful. Can you tell me what kind they are?"

The old man smiled politely and said, "You are talking about the Elephant Valley. The flowers here are really beautiful, there are white, pink and purple ones."

It turns out that the rice husk flower here has a nice name called "Elephant Valley".

It is beautiful, but if you use it wrongly, there is no turning back.

"Your village is really poetic, growing such beautiful flowers. By the way, what are these flowers used for? I see you have quite a lot of them planted."

The old man paused, then suddenly smiled again, "The fruit of this flower can be used to make soup, which is delicious and sweet. Would you like to try it, young lady?"

In the next short half incense stick of time, the old man stared at her face strangely, his eyes were straightforward and malicious.

This old man seemed different from the villagers, he looked more energetic. His family was also quite well-off, and his grandson was very fair and tender, showing a world of difference compared to other children.

Other children have fear and worry about the unknown life, but his children are carefree, lively and active.

Hu Luanfei said slowly: "No, we have to hurry."

"Where are you going in such a hurry, young lady?"

Hu Luanfei made up an excuse: "I went to Yancheng to visit relatives."

When the old man heard about Yancheng, his eyebrows raised, and his thoughts became more obvious, "Young lady, why don't you bring some local specialties with you?"

Hu Luanfei scratched his head. "They were afraid they might get tired of eating chicken, duck, fish, etc., so they only brought some wild vegetables found in the mountains."

"Oh, how shabby." The old man chatted for a while, pausing while smoking his pipe, "Can I give you some local specialties from our village to take to your relatives?"

"That's embarrassing." Hu Luanfei tried to refuse, but his eyes never left the flowers in the child's hand.
