Lock and secure

The old man continued, "I've developed a scar-lightening ointment. If the scar on your palm isn't removed, it'll itch unbearably. Also, the scar on your forehead and the burn at the corner of your eye need to be healed. I imagine you used to be handsome and well-mannered..."

Luo Yao felt a little embarrassed when the old man grabbed his hand and tried to sell him something, and he swallowed hard.

The old man saw that there was a good chance, so he immediately called his servant and said, "Go, give this young man a try with my scar removal cream."

Luo Yao was scared. He thought this old man might want to use him as a test subject.

After a while, the waiter brought two boxes of plasters in wooden boxes.

When Luo Yao smelled it, the smell seemed familiar. Luo Yao rubbed some medicine on the palm of his hand. It felt cool, and after a while he felt a cool and refreshing stream seeping into his skin.

The effect of the medicine was so obvious that Luo Yao opened his eyes wide. Could this old man be a miracle doctor?

The old man's face was full of pride.

As a result, Luo Yao was successfully sold a large number of drugs.

There are medicines for preventing colds, homemade emergency wound medicines, and a large number of medicines with various functions.

The old man was afraid that Luo Yao would not remember and take the medicine randomly, so he thoughtfully marked each set of medicine with instructions for use, applicable symptoms, contraindications, etc., which were complete additional instructions!

After feeding Lin Mo some medicine to stabilize his condition, he boiled some hot water for Lin Mo to take a bath. I don't know why, but the little brat insisted on bathing his brother himself even though he originally asked the waiter to help.

Seeing that he was also dirty, Luo Yao asked the two of them to wash together, and asked the shop assistant to help him go out and buy a few sets of clothes and shoes for the children.

The two children were covered in dirt and washed in several pots of hot water.

Li Xian hurriedly carried Lin Mo out, who was dressed, and the old doctor immediately began to clean the wounds.

Fortunately, although the wounds on Lin Mo's body had festered, they were not external injuries, but mostly internal injuries.

After treating the external injuries, Li Xian paid all the medical fees and medicine expenses, took a bunch of medicine, and when they were about to leave, Zhang Xiaoxiao immediately hugged Luo Yao.

He didn't say anything and just refused to let me go.

Luo Yao found that he was a good boy and became more patient. "Xiaoxiao, my brother lives far away and needs to go back early. I really can't stay any longer."

Zhang Xiaoxiao burst into tears and knelt on the ground. "My brother and I are willing to serve you for life to repay your kindness today. Can you take me and my brother in... Wuwuwu..."

Luo Yao frowned. He couldn't even take care of his younger brother Luo Xinchen, so it would be too difficult for him to take care of these two half-grown children...

Li Xian also looked unhappy. These two little beggars wanted to snatch the young master from him?!

Seeing Luo Yao in trouble, the little beggar cried even harder and began to promote himself, "Brother... Brother Lin Mo and I can take care of ourselves. We came here from the capital on our own... Woohoo... Brother Lin Mo can use a slingshot to shoot birds and rabbits, and he can cook chestnuts... Brother Lin Mo can do everything..."

Luo Yao opened his eyes wide. These two little brats, who depended on each other for survival, were able to run from the capital to here without starving to death. In this chaotic era with wild beasts running rampant in the mountains, these two little kids were really lucky!

"Doctor, what's wrong with this child?"

Luo Yao wanted to ask Lin Mo if he could travel long distances.

Seeing that he was willing to take in these two little beggars, the old doctor was moved that there were actually such kind people. He quickly said, "Young Master, since you are so kind, I will be a good person for once!"

The old man with white beard took the box on top of the medicine cabinet, took out the porcelain bottle inside, poured out a small pill, and fed it to Lin Mo.

Li Xian's jaw dropped in shock, that small pill was actually a smaller version of Lingyue Pill!

A Lingyue Pill is priceless and hard to come by. The Lingyue Pill that the old man took out smelled obviously more refined.

"Young Master, consider this bottle of medicine a gift from me to you!"

Luo Yao saw that the pill was ordinary and thought it was some free medicine, so he reached out to take it and put it directly into his arms.

Li Xian, who was standing by, looked excited. "Old man, do you have any more? Can you give me a bottle too?"

Luo Yao slapped him on the forehead and cursed: "You are getting more aggressive!"

After listening to the old doctor talk about a bunch of precautions, Li Xian carried Lin Mo on his back and put the medicine into Luo Yao's backpack. They said goodbye and left. Before leaving, Luo Yao took out two bills and stuffed them into the shop assistant, then took his brother away.

The clerk seemed to have touched upon something hot potato. The white-haired old man saw him standing at the door motionless, and went forward to take a look. He saw two silver notes worth one thousand taels!

The old man snatched the bill and put it in his arms, stroked his beard, looked in the direction where Luo Yao was leaving and nodded.

Luo Yao was worried because he went down the mountain to buy supplies but ended up bringing back two mouths to feed.

When they returned to the street, several people from the escort agency were still guarding it. It seemed that a few more people from the escort agency had arrived. From a distance, they saw a man coming forward and bowing to Luo Yao.

"My eyesight is poor, and I didn't recognize the princess just now. I am Lu Hong from the Nanyan Escort Agency. Nice to meet you, princess."

The people behind also clasped their fists towards Luo Yao, and people on the street gathered around to watch the fun.

Luo Yao didn't want to reveal his identity, so he quickly helped them up. "Brothers, please stand up quickly. We are all brothers. Don't be so distant!"

Lu Hong looked at the people on the street and stood up quickly. "I don't know where the young master is going. We will see you off."

Luo Yao mentioned the entrance to the town, and several strong men took over the cart and took the unconscious Lin Mo. One of the strong men also carried Zhang Xiaoxiao, whose feet were covered with blisters and erosions.

Luo Xinchen was held in Lu Hong's sturdy arms. The little boy squirmed and twisted, not wanting Lu Hong to hold him. The strong man Lu Hong was very calm. "Chenchen is so big now. He followed the boss to the capital a long time ago. He was still a baby back then! So cute!"

The rough big hands pinched the soft little face of the little dumpling, making the little dumpling burst into tears, and then grabbed Lu Hong's hair and pulled it hard.

He was so painful that he cried out.

"Brother Lu brought soybeans here to sell. It's a bit of fate. I was the one who suggested buying those beans. I wonder if Brother Lu has anything urgent to do? If not, why not come with me to stay at the Zongsheng Temple for a few days?"

As they were talking, they had already arrived at the entrance of the town.

"We're here just to deliver beans, which is nothing special. It's difficult to get up the mountain from the temple, and we have a lot of beans and other goods. So, let the escort agency deliver them up the mountain together?"

Luo Yao put on a bitter face and said unwillingly, "If it weren't for the impending war, we would have just found a place to store this food! But now, even though the war hasn't reached this place, the town is in chaos! We have no choice but to move it all the way up the mountain!"

The abbot came over and said, "Young donor, don't worry. There's a hidden cave on the mountainside of the Zongsheng Temple. It's very well hidden and can store these beans. We only need to carry some up the mountain to meet the temple's daily needs."

When Luo Yao heard this, he thought it was abominable that the host had not told him earlier or later, causing him to carry so many supplies up the mountain! However, after all, it was a place where food was stored, so naturally he couldn't tell outsiders casually.

Having made up their minds, it was time to pack up and return to the temple. Several strong men set off with a large batch of beans escorted by the escort agency and a large batch of supplies purchased by Luo Yao.

When they reached the mountainside and entered the so-called grain storage area, Luo Yao was completely dumbfounded. The space inside was ridiculously large. A lot of beans had been harvested and neatly piled up in a corner of the wall.

The strong men carried down the things Luo Yao bought. Lu Hong came over with half a sack of stuff and asked Luo Yao, "Young Master, what is this? We have never seen this in all our years of escorting!"

Luo Yao took a look into the bag and was stunned.

Potatoes! They cost nothing! They were even given to me for free!

"Brother Lu, this stuff is great, hurry up and move it, let's go up the mountain to eat potatoes!"

"Potato?" Lu Hong scratched his head. Can this earthen egg really be eaten?

After the group of strong men moved several carts of beans and grain, the monk and his family went up the mountain.

He went up the mountain and got ten large potatoes with few eyes, fried them in a pot, and gave a bowl to several respected abbots in the temple. The people from the escort agency and the people in the courtyard each got a few pieces. After eating, everyone's eyes lit up.

That night, Luo Yao took two potatoes and threw them into the kang to roast. He always missed eating potatoes roasted by his grandfather in the countryside. The four of them gathered around the fire pit in the kitchen, waiting for the roasted potatoes to eat. The aroma of the roasted potatoes wafted far away, even reaching Lu who was sleeping in the side yard.

Therefore, the four guests who originally wanted to eat alone could only give him a small half.

Fortunately, Luo Xinchen loves to eat but can’t eat much, so several people tasted it.

Luo Yao was woken up early the next morning.

A group of strong monks blocked the front yard, they wanted to plant potatoes!

Luo Yao followed a group of strong monks in a daze to open up wasteland. Daci Mountain was steep and there were very few plots of land, but the soil was relatively fertile.

After searching the mountains for most of the day, they finally found a patch of barely flat land. Then they spent the entire day clearing and preparing the land, and constructing a simple greenhouse according to Luo Yao's instructions.
