The little Fubao in the deserted village made all the dignitaries in the court go crazy with envy
Chapter 38 Extraordinary
The Lin family’s gate was surrounded by villagers in an instant.
Not only did the men grab their weapons, but the village women also forced their way in, forming a human wall at the gate of the Lin family's courtyard. They glared fiercely at the fat bald man who was trapped in the crowd, and even became wary of the men in constable uniforms, even though the other party was already considered a half-acquaintance.
“Don’t panic. I’m Captain Zhao from the government office. I’ve been to Yuxi Village twice. You should all know me and my identity cannot be fake. This time, an innocent person was arrested by mistake, so I received an order from the adults to send him to Shennv Mountain.” Captain Zhao had a headache and could understand the reaction of the Yuxi villagers.
The village has been attacked by bandits repeatedly, and Fatty fell in the yard with the bandits last night, so it is difficult to clear himself of the connection.
Who told him to sneak into someone's yard in the middle of the night and steal things?
If the letter with the official seal was not forged, he would not believe that the fat man was innocent.
Who among the people under the government could do such a thing? It would bring shame to our ancestors.
Fortunately, Captain Zhao was there, explaining the situation in front of the Lin family and the villagers, and also brought up the title of the garrison commander and stood as a guarantor, which barely dispelled the villagers' vigilance.
Jia Banxian squatted in the middle of the crowd, expressionless and tired.
What unforgivable thing has he done?
After the three brothers of the Lin family came back from the medicinal field panting, the villagers stayed for a long time. After they were sure that the fat man had no chance of winning against three of them, they dispersed with peace of mind.
Captain Zhao had to go back to work, so after clarifying the misunderstanding he hurried back to the yamen without staying long.
But the Lin family still didn't let the fat man in.
They first went into the room and helped the old man, who was half hanging on the bed and wanted to climb out in a hurry, back to lie down. After explaining the whole situation, the Lin family members looked at each other without looking away and went back to their own work.
Jia Banxian squatted at the gate of the courtyard, facing inward, feeling really wronged. "I've been talking so hard that my lips are almost worn out, why don't you believe me? I'm not a bad person, I'm really not a bad person! If I were a bandit, would the government dare to release me? And even personally send me to the foot of the Goddess Mountain? Didn't you listen to the constable's explanation? Why do you have to think the worst of me!"
The Lin family was busy with their own things and turned a deaf ear to the noise.
Zhang Cui'e brought a basin of dirty water from the kitchen and splashed it at the bald man's feet. "He did something bad and you blame others for thinking the worst of him. Bah! Look at my yard. Why don't you explain why you pulled up my herbs in the middle of the night? The evidence is still in your bag!"
"I paid you silver!" Jia Banxian complained. "Two cents of silver! That's enough to buy a bag of herbs from your family, right?"
"People have two lips. What can't they say? And I gave you the silver. No one in my family has seen the silver!"
Xiao Baixiang, who was sitting on the eaves of the corridor and secretly planting grass, paused, dug in the small pit in front of him, and dug out a small silver coin, showing it to his family, "Is this the silver?"
Lin family: "..." It is very likely that it is this silver.
Jia Banxian jumped up, his fat body trembling. "See it? See it! This is the silver that the Taoist left behind when he bought herbs! Feel it with your hands and see if it is two cents! I threw it next to your dog!"
“……”This makes people feel uncomfortable.
It turns out that they really gave money.
Presumably, due to the chaos in the middle of the night, the silver coin was accidentally kicked into the pit, so none of the Lin family members saw it.
Zhang Cui'e cleared her throat and turned stiffly back to the kitchen. "Even if you gave me money, it was still a forced purchase. Did you ask me if I wanted to buy my herbs? Did we agree? Humph."
Mother Lin took the silver coin from her granddaughter, wiped off the dirt on it, and put it away. "You sneaked into the house and did things in a sneaky way. We have no guilt in accepting this silver."
After a pause, Mrs. Lin looked at the fat man standing by the door, her tone softened a little, "I heard you say before that you were going to Goddess Mountain to look for medicine. There might really be ancient stars in the mountain. The first time the bandits broke into our house, they got some grass leaves from the mountain. My youngest son said that they were leaves of Companion Star vines. Where Companion Star vines grow, ancient stars grow. The mountain is quiet now. You just need to be careful of snakes and beasts when you go in."
After hearing what Mrs. Lin said, Jia Banxian was stunned for a moment, then he returned to his smiling face, "Someone in the donor's family actually knows Guxing? You are quite knowledgeable. Guxing is a rare medicinal material, and its price is only higher than that of ginseng. Since you have a guess, why don't you earn the money yourself, but instead kindly tell me?"
"We farmers don't seek to be rich, we just want our family to be safe and secure. There are many wild animals in the mountains and dangers everywhere. We don't seek the wealth that comes with danger."
When the family was in trouble, the children talked about going into the mountains to look for Gu Xing. Mrs. Lin didn't say much. Anyway, the bandits had not been wiped out, and the children would not act rashly.
Now that there are no more bandits and the family's difficulties have been overcome, she would never let her sons go to danger for money.
As for the bald Taoist priest, he took two cents of silver and exchanged it for a bag of Hundred-Angle Grass and a piece of information. The Lin family is a good person in doing things.
"Okay, then I would like to thank you for telling me. This matter is urgent and I can't delay any longer. I will go up the mountain to look for medicine now." Jia Banxian smiled and handed over the water bag across the threshold. "Before I leave, I am shameless and asked for another bag of water to take with me. I also asked for the Baixiang Tea I drank yesterday!"
Mrs. Lin: "..."
The man and woman in the kitchen pricked up their ears and said, "..."
I was amazed at the old Taoist priest's shamelessness.
In the end, I gave him a bag of Baixiang Tea.
After putting the water bag on his back, before leaving, the bald old Taoist turned around and looked at the Lin family members who were looking out to see him off, and said meaningfully, "Everyone, we'll see each other again soon."
Yuxi Village is not simple.
Or rather, the Lin family is not simple.
He was an old man who played with medicine. He was the only one who used medicine to harm others, and no one could ever show off his skills in front of him. However, he fell down inexplicably in the Lin family yard, and he didn't know how he fell down.
He was so unsure whether the bandits were defeated by his trick or by someone else's trick like him, so he didn't say anything more about the incident.
In addition, the Hundred-Angle Grass in the Eight Treasures Bag is also a wonder.
As soon as he entered Yuxi Village yesterday, he smelled a unique herbal aroma. He followed the scent and came to the Lin family courtyard.
After the Baixiang tea went down his throat, he was sure that it was extraordinary.
The richness of the medicinal power and the variety of medicinal properties of the Baixiang herbs were something he had never seen in his life.
Rather than saying it is just one herb, it is better to say that it combines the effects of hundreds of herbs, perfectly blending the properties of hundreds of herbs into a tiny plant.
As long as the medicine is properly prepared, he is sure that Baixiangcao can replace any herb in the Baicao Jing!
The Goddess Mountain is high and deep. The old Taoist climbs up along the road with deep and mysterious eyes.
In the town, he had already delivered a letter to the imperial capital to inform them of this opportunity. If the ancient star still could not be found, the Hundred-phase Grass might be the last hope for the little boy.
After the Taoist priest left, the Lin family felt completely relieved. Farmers’ life was simple and their thoughts were not complicated.
What’s past is past, don’t worry about it anymore.
Baixiang was even simpler. Today, the fat monk did not have the disgusting aura that she felt last night, and he left sensibly. The little girl then concentrated on growing her own Baixiang grass.
The little man looked at the small potholes in front of him. The seeds had been planted and would grow out in ten days or half a month.
But it's still a bit of a pity.
Among the stolen Hundred-Angle Grasses, the ones she ate on a daily basis had the most green light balls, which grew the best and had the strongest medicinal effects. The fat monk got them for free.
Wawa didn't know at this time that the fat monk had been eyeing her Hundred-Angle Grass for a long time.
