The old man started laughing again, calling his grandson, who picked up a small bag of dried fruits of the rice husk flower.

At this time, people in the village appeared one after another, and even the doctor in the most luxurious building at the edge came with the boy.

He grabbed the peanuts from the boy's plate and threw them into his mouth, then slowly untied the wine flask at his waist and drank a sip of wine. His expression was relaxed and at ease, like a spoiled young man with nothing to do.

Seeing this, Jiang Shi stepped forward to say hello.

Coincidentally, Jiang Shi had an excuse to go back for another consultation as he had not asked for the medicine prescribed by the doctor before.

The doctor turned his head away and continued to drink and eat peanuts with an arrogant look. Because Hu Luanfei had never given him face, he was now angry at Jiang Shi and refused to see him again.

He drank his wine and sneered disdainfully.

Hu Luanfei took the old man's "local specialties", ignored the doctor, and walked straight towards the carriage.

Seeing this, Jiang Shi had no choice but to leave in shame.

Just before getting on the carriage, the doctor called Jiang Shi and nodded to the boy to go back and give him the prescribed herbs.

Jiang Shi: “This is…”

Doctor: "Your medicine."

Jiang Shi glanced towards the carriage, and Hu Luanfei pretended not to notice his look for help.

There was no choice but for Jiang Shi to pay the bill.

After the transaction was completed, Jiang Shiru was in so much pain that he wanted to cry but had no tears.

"I knew his medical treatment was expensive, but I didn't expect it to be this expensive."

Just three prescriptions cost him a year's salary.

Ah, I’m going to vomit blood!

Hu Luanfei stared at him without blinking, "You can't take this medicine."

At this moment, she was not as casual as she was in the morning, but was serious and cautious.

There was a chill around the carriage, as if something was blowing past, causing Jiang Shi to sweat profusely.

"Could it be that this medicine..."

"There must be some bad stuff mixed in. Once I have investigated it thoroughly, I will tell you in detail."

The two of them followed the path, left the village, and headed towards Yancheng.

Hu Luanfei had his own ideas and did not go far. He changed his destination and went to several other villages to investigate.

Without exception, the symptoms of the villagers in several villages were almost the same. They all went to Mi Ke Hua Village for medical treatment and medicine. According to some villagers who were not infected, they went to see a doctor almost once every ten days or half a month, and each time they spent a lot of money. The income and expenditure were not proportional, and many villagers embarked on a road of no return.

Hearing this, Hu Luanfei's anger grew.

"My God, what happened to those villagers? How come they seem to ascend to heaven just by smoking a cigarette?"

"The problem lies in the 'local specialties' given by the old man. This is something that makes people obsessed. Once you get addicted, it is difficult to quit."

Jiang Shi suddenly felt puzzled: "Then why did the queen accept it?"

"We need evidence." Hu Luanfei frowned slightly, feeling uneasy. "I feel that the doctor will not let us get away easily. It's getting dark now. We have to find a place to boil the medicine."

"Eh? Isn't it a bad thing? Why are you still..."

"I didn't really let you eat it, I just pretended to eat it for those people to see."

Jiang Shi breathed a sigh of relief, "I was so scared, I thought I was going to test the poison on myself."

Seeing him like this, Hu Luanfei raised his eyebrows slightly, "You almost got caught."

"when!"

"From the moment we were attacked by the gangsters before we met the old woman, it was just the beginning of the game. If I had asked the doctor to make medicine for you, I'm afraid you would end up like those villagers. Mrs. Li was the same. She was driven away because she was poor and couldn't afford medicine."

Just as Jiang Shi frowned, he suddenly felt nauseous and wanted to vomit. His throat seemed to be stuck and he was unable to utter a word.

"At that time, I really thought you had a bug in your head, and I kept using insect repellent herbs to treat you. Fortunately, I managed to avoid danger by accident."

"..." Jiang Shi whispered: "That herb is smelly and bitter..."

-

In the dark night, every household is immersed in a world of illusion, living a life of drunkenness and dreams.

A dark shadow sneaked in and wandered around the village.

The doctor said, "That horse is a good horse, with a very fierce temperament."

Old man: "My Ergou needs a wife, and that woman looks good."

The doctor sneered: "That woman is as fierce as a horse. Can your wimp subdue her?"

"Don't underestimate my Ergou. Even though he looks skinny, he's more violent than the mad bull in the village when he gets into a fight."

"Oh. I have a handsome young man by my side. He is young, skilled, and a martial artist. Even the craziest bull would be afraid of his sword."

The old man held the pipe tightly, staring at the doctor with cold and sinister eyes. There was displeasure and a hint of sarcasm in his eyes: "I don't believe you will let go of this fat sheep passing by."

Who is the doctor? How can he just refuse such enormous wealth?

The doctor pinched his moustache and did not comment.

"By the way, Beiqiu can provide medicinal herbs, right? Don't ignore the growth of medicinal herbs for such a small matter."

The old man knocked off the ash from his cigarette and said, "Don't worry about this."

Nowadays, there is a constant stream of people coming to several villages near Menghu Mountain and some towns in Beiqiu to seek medical treatment.

Silver flows into their pockets like water, and piling up gold, silver and treasures into mountains is not a dream.

"Who!" The boy suddenly appeared with tea in his hand. He shouted, and the people in the room rushed out immediately.

In a short while, the whole village was lit up with countless torches.

Seeing that the situation was not right, the man in black jumped onto the roof, crossed the Mi Ke Garden, and quickly dived into the jungle.

"Did you see who it was?" the doctor asked the boy angrily.

The boy shook his head: "I can't tell because I'm wearing night clothes."

The old man stood by, his cold eyes like a hawk narrowed slightly, "Looking at his figure, he looks like a young man passing by in the daytime."

The doctor clenched his fists: "He heard about us."

Old man: "Almost exactly."

"It seems that this man can't be kept." The doctor's eyes were deep and strange, staring at the direction where the black shadow left with an unusually cold look.

-

"My lady, please get out of here."

"how?"

"This matter is of great importance. We will talk about it later."

Jiang Shi felt a little panicked for a moment, but he quickly calmed down, grabbed the reins, and set off in the night without hesitation.

Suddenly, a sharp whistle was heard from the front of the road, and sparks of fire rose into the sky and exploded, like a blooming Epiphyllum, enchanting and gorgeous.

The two were startled and looked around quickly, and soon found many flames coming from all directions in the jungle.

On the tree-lined path, dozens of villagers holding torches jumped out, yelling "Don't even think about escaping", and rushed towards the carriage. Their footsteps were chaotic and murderous.

"Jiang Shi, you deal with them, I'll drive."

Hu Luanfei and Jiang Shi exchanged positions.

A clanging sound.

Jiang Shi drew his sword to block the villager who was rushing in front, and the other villagers followed suit.

A fierce battle broke out instantly.

Hu Luanfei took advantage of the favorable terrain and knocked away many villagers.

But four hands cannot defeat eight punches.

The two of them gradually fell below.
