Lock and secure

Following Ye Xiao and the others, we came to an ancient courtyard.

After many twists and turns, we arrived in front of the main house.

Ye Qing went forward and knocked on the door, "Grandpa, open the door, there are guests coming!"

When the old man with white beard inside heard this, he was shocked and said, "It's been eleven years. Who would come to Qingye Valley?"

The door flung open, and dozens of poisonous needles grazed Ye Xiao's face as they flew towards Ye Qing and Zhang Hu'ao. Ye Qing suddenly pulled Zhang Hu'ao, who had been admiring the beautiful scenery, aside. The two looked up in shock. They saw a man in his eighties, his hair and beard completely white, and a horrific knife wound on his face.

Ye Qing didn't recognize the old man at first, but the old man recognized Ye Qing first, rushed out and excitedly grabbed Ye Qing's arms.

"Are you Ye Jiang's son Xiaoqing?!"

Ye Qing nodded stiffly, obviously confused.

The old man looked into Ye Qing's eyes and knew that Ye Qing didn't recognize him. He shook Ye Qing anxiously and said loudly: "I am the weird old man! Do you remember me? I went to see you every day when you were a child!"

What?! The old man who had always been hiding in the dark and watching him when he was a child turned out to be Ye Qing. A look of disgust appeared on his face.

The old man touched Ye Qing's face and said, "Xiaoqing, you are so pretty. When you were a child, grandpa knew you were a good-looking boy just by touching you!"

Ye Qing took a step back, thinking of the dark memory of being touched all over his body while sleeping one day when he was a child. It caused him to have a nightmare in which he dreamed that his hands and feet were entangled by black poisonous snakes.

Thinking of the gazes hiding in the dark that he often sensed at that time, Ye Qing's face turned pale. This old man was definitely the nightmare of every child in Ye Qinggu's childhood!

Seeing that he looked pale, the old man thought he was sick. He went over and grabbed his wrist. When he felt his pulse, his face turned pale. He glanced at Zhang Hu'ao who was standing there stupidly, and kicked him in disgust, "What's your name, kid?!"

Zhang Hu'ao: "My name is Zhang Hu'ao, and I'm from Jingzhou."

Old man: "Go dig the fields!"

Zhang Huao glanced at Ye Qing, said "Oh", and went obediently.

So Ye Qing was pulled aside by the old man and talked to for a long time, all of which were about that... young people should learn to be restrained and so on... Ye Qing blushed when he heard it.

This old man is too much. He used to like stealing children from the valley and releasing them after playing with them for a few days. The people in the valley had no way to deal with him because he was an excellent doctor, a first-class poisoner, and had a weird temper. No one dared to mess with him.

It was clearly he who planted the beautiful lady in the Forest of Hundred Diseases, yet he still scolded Ye Qing with a look of disappointment.

After feeling comfortable scolding, the old man started to care about Ye Qing again. The two of them had a long talk. When Ye Xiao came to call them to eat, it was already dark.

The dining area was in the kitchen. When Ye Qing supported the strange old man and followed Ye Xiao over, he saw Zhang Huao playing with four children aged eight or nine, chattering about something.

After going over and listening, Ye Qing finally understood what had happened. It turned out that Zhang Hu'ao had encountered a family of wild boars that had come to steal medicinal herbs while he was digging in the fields. Then, Zhang Hu'ao shot the father wild boar to death and crippled the mother wild boar. He then followed the mother wild boar, who was barely breathing, to the wild boars' home and captured four little wild boars alive...

Ye Linger: "Brother Tiger, if we cut grass for the little wild boar as you said, will we have meat to eat in the future?"

Zhang Huao nodded seriously.

Ye Shan, a chubby boy, patted his chest and said, "Brother Shan will take care of the little wild boar. When it grows up, I will kill it and give it to everyone to eat!"

Ye Qing coughed twice and walked into the room. Zhang Hu'ao immediately stood up with a look of surprise on his face, "Miracle doctor!"

A group of people gathered around to eat. No one in Qingye Valley had ever eaten such delicious food. Everyone was scrambling for food, including the strange old man with gray hair.

"You little brats, I, an old man, have spent all my hard work raising you up. You little brats have eaten so much food, and yet you're still trying to steal food from me, an old man, even though you're already so grown up!"

The kids were laughing and not taking him seriously.

Ye Xiao: "The Valley Master is here, don't be rude!"

The kids immediately fell silent and ate their food obediently. They stopped quarreling, but each one was faster than the other in grabbing the food.

Seeing that Ye Qing was eating slowly, Zhang Huao followed the boys and grabbed a lot of meat and put it in his bowl, piling it high.

Ye Qing looked at him with cold eyes, and Zhang Huao put away his chopsticks and ate quietly.

After eating and taking medicine, the two were arranged to sleep in a temporary residence of the valley master. The bed was small, so Ye Qing slept on it while Zhang Huao slept on the floor.

After a night's rest, Ye Qing wrote a letter to Gu Lao and Ye Sheng at the foot of Daci Mountain early the next morning.

The four children in the valley were the surviving descendants of the old man Ye Guai who had been abducted before the Qingye Valley was massacred. Ye Xiao was rescued by Ye Guai at the risk of his life.

An old man and several children lived in the valley. Ye Qing was worried about the old man's advanced age. Ye Sheng was in his twenties, and Gu Lao was in his early fifties and in good health, so he had to call them back to help support the valley.

The valley has the blood of the Ye family, so as the son of the valley master, Ye Qing will not let Qingye Valley disappear, and the medical skills of Qingye Valley must be passed on!

He wrote a letter in the identity of the valley master, stamped it with the Thousand Medicine Pattern, and summoned the Thousand Medicine Valley messenger bird to deliver the letter.

The messenger bird, the messenger bird of the Ye family of the Qing Dynasty, is psychic and can track people by smell.

The messenger bird's ability to deliver messages is inherited by the Qingye Valley messenger bird clan.

After the Qingye Valley massacre, the psychic messenger bird, at a young age, took on the responsibility of finding the descendants of the Qingye Valley who were left behind among the people. Ye Qing had no concerns about the bird failing to deliver messages, as he had encountered the messenger bird every year since the Qingye Valley incident, especially in the first few years after the incident.

He knew about the incident in Qingye Valley while practicing medicine among the people. He only realized that something had happened in Qingye Valley after he noticed the strangeness of the Xinling Bird.

When he returned home and saw the scene in the valley, he was heartbroken. He buried his parents and left his sad hometown. He only wanted to go to the northwest to get away from the sad place, practice medicine and save people, hoping to collect enough money to go to Xindian to find out who massacred the people in Qingye Valley.

When he was practicing medicine in a village on the border of Yuanzhou and Xizhou, he was asked by the old man in the village to save a dying boy, Bei Zhenting. He followed Bei Zhenting to the northwest and did not return home. The letter-writing birds found several of them.

The Xinling bird flew away. Zhang Huao, who was standing by, was very curious and stood by the window to watch the bird with a long white tail fly away.

Ye Qing: "I'm going somewhere, don't follow me."

Zhang Hu'ao chose to ignore his words: "I follow the miracle doctor."

Facing Zhang Huao's loyal eyes, Ye Qing said nothing and left first.

The two went to the Thousand Medicine Forest one after the other. Eleven years had passed, and herbs had grown in the Thousand Medicine Forest that had been burned clean by the fire again. Dead trees and green trees were side by side. Ye Qing stroked those rare herbs that were ten years old, and his vision blurred.

Zhang Hu'ao was a curious baby. He didn't know what he saw but suddenly ran away far away.

"Miracle doctor!"

Ye Qing thought he had seen some strange plant he didn't recognize, so he walked over and asked, "What's wrong?"

Zhang Huao suddenly pulled Ye Qing's hand and put two soft and furry things in his hand. Ye Qing was so scared that he wanted to retract his hand quickly, and the two furry things fell to the ground.

The little rabbits were only as big as a hand, two small balls of white fur. The little rabbits smelled the familiar medicinal scent of the Ye family on Ye Qing and rubbed Ye Qing's feet affectionately.

Zhang Huao grabbed one rabbit and stuffed it into Ye Qing's arms, while he played with the other one.

Seeing Zhang Hu'ao walking forward, Ye Qing followed him, touching the furry animal in his arms.

So soft and comfortable... Furry things can really heal people's hearts. Ye Qing put away the sadness in his heart.

Wild fire, in spring.

The burned Thousand Medicine Forest is recovering, and there are still survivors in the tribe. Their homes are being rebuilt and restored bit by bit, gradually becoming what he remembered.

Everything that happened recently was very lucky, so don’t be sad when you go home!
