Five kinds of medicine in another world

Gu Shijiu was extremely surprised when he saw this figure.

"Sister Hongling, why are you here?"

Gu Shijiu asked happily, feeling as if he had met an old friend in a foreign land.

"I have nothing to do, so I came over to see if I can help."

Zhao Hongling said softly with a faint smile.

"By the way, Sister Hongling, are you healed?"

Gu Shijiu asked with some concern.

Zhao Hongling rolled her eyes at Gu Shijiu, as if she had all kinds of charm, and then said:

"You knew your sister Hongling was injured, but you didn't go to see her? Don't worry, she's fine now. It's just a pity for sister Wenya."

Zhao Hongling's voice suddenly became low, and in an instant, it seemed as if the sky had darkened.

Gu Shijiu was also shocked. He recalled the scene of escorting the caravan with Wen Ya and others, and couldn't help feeling sad.

"I'm glad Sister Hongling is okay. I have killed Sun Quan myself, which is considered revenge for Sister Wenya."

Gu Shijiu said fiercely.

Zhao Hongling nodded upon seeing this, and also said fiercely:

"I hate that the inn failed to kill Sun Quan that day to prevent future troubles!"

"I hate that I didn't have good martial arts skills and was unable to capture all the people from the Sun family who robbed and killed me that day!"

"I hate that I am too badly injured to help Sister Wen Ya to avenge herself!"

As she spoke, tears flowed from Zhao Hongling's eyes and her voice became more and more sad.

Gu Shijiu couldn't bear to see a girl cry, so he stepped forward and comforted her:

"Sister Hongling, stop crying. There are so many people here, and you are still the world's number one female warrior. Let's pay attention to our image."

"By the way, Sister Hongling, did you come here alone?"

Gu Shijiu quickly changed the subject.

Zhao Hongling was feeling quite uncomfortable at first, but when she heard what Gu Shijiu said, her face froze. She quickly wiped away her tears and said to Gu Shijiu:

"I was originally alone, but I met the two of them on the road, so we became a team and came together to Zhenxie County."

After saying that, Zhao Hongling pointed at the two people behind her and introduced them.

"This is Brother Xiao Changtian, and this is Brother Ye Yushi."

Gu Shijiu looked in the direction Zhao Hongling pointed.

I saw a tall, dignified and elegant young man with a noble demeanor and a young boy with a childish face and wearing luxurious robes smiling at him.

The tall young man bowed to Gu Shijiu and said:

"I am Xiao Changtian, and I have met Brother Gu. I have long heard from my fourth uncle that Gu Shijiu of Hengdao Escort Agency is worth making friends with. It is fate that we meet today, haha."

Gu Nineteen asked doubtfully:

"Brother Changtian, who is your fourth uncle?"

"Hahaha, my fourth uncle is named Xiao Wufa, and he is the escort king of Fengtian County in your escort agency."

Xiao Changtian said with a smile.

"Oh, so it's Xiao Wufa, the Escort King. Haha, it's really fate."

Gu Shijiu suddenly understood.

"Brother Gu, my name is Ye Yushi."

The young boy with a childish face next to him greeted Gu Shijiu.

"Hello, hello, my name is Gu Nineteen."

Gu Shijiu also said with a smile.

"I'm late today. I've been traveling all night and it's already dawn. I'm going back to sleep. We'll meet here when it's almost dawn."

Zhao Hongling said this in a nonchalant manner and turned to leave.

"Wait, Sister Hongling, where do you live?"

Gu Shijiu asked hurriedly.

"There is a business of my Zhao family in Zhenxie County. I can just stay here for a day."

Zhao Hongling said nonchalantly.

"Why don't you come to our escort agency? There are a lot of empty rooms in our branch offices here, so we can all take care of each other when we are together."

Gu Shijiu said quickly.

"There are so many empty houses? Where have all the people gone? Did they run away?"

A hint of disdain flashed across Ye Yushi's eyes.

Although he is young, he has been extremely arrogant since he was a child. He looks down on others and will not pretend or cover up.

Gu Shijiu also saw Ye Yushi’s expression and did not argue with this boy. After all, he was an adult.

Gu Nineteen said self-deprecatingly:

"The Zhenxie County branch of the Hengdao Escort Agency originally had 372 people. 350 of them died in the battle with the evil spirits. Now there are only 22 left. Isn't that a lot of empty rooms?"

After hearing this, Ye Yushi's eyes flashed with admiration, but he still said with disdain:

"To be killed by these evil spirits, your cultivation is really poor."

Before Ye Yushi could finish his words, he was interrupted by Zhao Hongling's angry shout.

"Ye Yushi, please speak properly. Don't say anything if you don't know anything!"

"Did I say something wrong, Sister Hongling?"

Ye Yushi was still being stubborn, but Xiao Changtian couldn't stand it anymore and said directly:

"First of all, the brothers of the escort agency are great. They swore to fight to the death and defended Zhenxie County today. These brothers have made great contributions!"

"Secondly, the brothers in the escort agency don't have as many cultivation resources as you, Second Young Master Ye, nor do they have as much foundation as your Ye family. Of course, not everyone has as good qualifications as you, Second Young Master Ye. They can't practice every day, and they have to earn cultivation resources, so it's impossible for them to practice quickly."

"Finally, you, Second Young Master Ye, don't comment if you don't know anything."

"Last night, the attackers were only the lowest level souls and spirits, only level one or two, while the brothers from the escort agency were blocking level three ghosts, level four spirits, and even level five Oblivion and level six Panic!"

"Can you, Young Master Ye, pick up a knife when you encounter a sixth-level evil spirit? Are you still mocking the brothers of the escort agency? Let me tell you, the second-level brothers of the Hengdao Escort Agency dare to rush forward when they encounter a sixth-level panic. Do you dare?"

Xiao Changtian said a lot in one breath, which made Ye Yushi stunned.

"How is it possible? How could there be such a fool?"

Ye Yushi muttered to himself, his eyes full of disbelief.

"How is it impossible?"

The smile on Gu Shijiu's face disappeared, and he said coldly:

"As long as the brothers of the escort agency retreat, these evil spirits may enter the city and kill or injure a large number of people. For the sake of the people, they can only sacrifice themselves."

"Aren't their lives lives? How dare they not want their own lives?"

Ye Yushi felt that his worldview had received a huge impact.

Since he was young, his father and brothers taught him that one has only one life, and no matter at what time, in what place, or when doing anything, the first thing to do is to save one's own life.

Only when you are sure that your life is not threatened can you consider other things.

But now, Ye Yushi felt that his worldview had collapsed.

Your own life is less important than the lives of ordinary people?

"No, no, that's not it."

Ye Yushi tried to explain, and then heard Gu Shijiu continue:

"It's not that the brothers in the escort agency are so great, it's just that they know how to settle accounts."

"What account?"

Ye Yushi asked subconsciously.

"How many lives of ordinary people can be exchanged for their life?"

"If you change one option, you may hesitate, but if you change ten or a hundred options, you may not hesitate."

Gu Nineteen said lightly.

"Can this be settled?" Ye Yushi had just fallen into self-reflection when he heard Gu Shijiu continue:

"Why can't it count?"

"I want fish, and I also want bear's paw. I cannot have both, so I will give up fish and take bear's paw."

"Life is what I want, and righteousness is what I want. I cannot have both, so I would rather sacrifice life for righteousness."

"My life is what I desire, and the lives of the people are what I desire. I cannot have both, so I would rather sacrifice my life for the lives of the people."
