The sacred tree is about to pass, and the cannon fodder's wish countdown is coming

Not long after, the two people brought by the village chief arrived at Lu Shi's house.

The two young men who came were from the village. One was the village chief's son, Fan Wenqiang. He usually worked with the village chief to manage village affairs. He was smooth and experienced in his dealings with others. If nothing unexpected happened, he would be the next village chief.

The other was a village orphan, Fan Delai. Like the original owner, he lost both his parents at a young age, but unlike him, he had a younger sister, with whom he had lived together since childhood. He was six years younger than the original owner and was a calm and steady person.

The village chief was indeed thoughtful in calling two people with different personalities and family backgrounds.

But what Lu Shi really noticed was not these. From his perspective, he discovered that both of them actually had spiritual roots. Before this, he had only seen Qi Jin's top-grade spiritual roots, which made him feel special towards Qi Jin.

Now he had discovered two more. Although the quality of their spiritual roots was far inferior to Qi Jin's top-grade spiritual roots, they still caught his eye. This village was truly a place of hidden talents, and meeting him was a chance for them.

The village chief is truly his benefactor.

Lu Shi didn't show his smile. He asked the monkey system to come into the house and take out the herbal book that it had placed on the table.

"Can you two read?"

"Just a little bit," Fan Wenqiang answered first.

"No," followed closely by Vanderlai.

Lu Shi paused as he handed the book over. He hadn't expected this. Few people in the village had the means to study, and most could only recognize a few words. After all, they hadn't learned anything systematically.

From this point of view, the original owner was really lucky to be able to get help from the whole village.

"Take a look at these two books first. It doesn't matter if you don't know how to read. Just memorize the pictures in the books first so that you don't mistake herbs for weeds. You can learn more slowly from then on. If possible, bring the villagers along to learn with you."

After taking the book, the two solemnly thanked Lu Tianshi and said, "We will definitely remember it well."

"Everyone is doing this for the good of Changping Village."

After the three of them finished their conversation, they prepared to go to town.

"Host, host, take me there, take me there! You've left me at home for several days and never take me with you. Yesterday I saw you taking that Qi Jin to the back mountain."

The monkey system was talking to Lu Shi in his mind, his tone full of grievance and indignation.

"I want to go with you." Qi Jin also interrupted at this time, but this time he had a legitimate reason.

"I'm going to town to buy some clothes and some things for myself." Then, fearing Lu Shi might misunderstand him, he hastily added, "I have money! You don't have to spend it, Qi Yi brought it with him!"

He has a strong desire to survive.

Since Qi Jin is going, Qi Yi, the money bag, will definitely go as well. And Qi Qi, who is almost going crazy from boredom, can't control his restless heart.

Therefore, the original three-person trip turned into a family outing.

A group of people were walking in the village. Fortunately, the village chief had prepared an ox cart in advance, otherwise the group would have to walk.

Everyone first came to the town government office to prepare for the purchase of the mountain. Things went very smoothly. They had already prepared the silver, and with the title of the original owner as a juren, they quickly got the mountain deed.

Since the work was done, Fan Wenqiang and Fan Delai knew not to disturb Lu Shi and the others anymore. At Lu Shi's signal, they took the ox cart back to the village.

Lu Shi had already made up his mind. He planned to buy a carriage when he returned to the village to make it easier for him to travel back and forth. He would not have to come to town as often for business in the future, so this was an early start and would be more convenient.

Soon after they left the government office, they encountered an emergency.

A group of people surrounded the entrance of the clinic so tightly that no one could get in or out. They could only understand what was happening through the sounds coming from the center of the circle.

"Doctor, please save my child. Please have mercy on him. He can still be saved. He is still so young."

The lady was holding a little boy of about seven or eight years old in her arms, and was hysterically asking for help from the doctor at the door of the clinic, but was ruthlessly stopped at the door by the clinic staff.

"My dear, please don't make things difficult for me. Let's go to another hospital. Your child was discovered too late, and now he has a high fever. If the fever can't be reduced, then... I can't treat him. You should go to another hospital. Maybe there is still some hope."

The doctor at the clinic was quite helpless about this, but there was nothing he could do.

The child came up too late. When he saw the child, he was already severely dehydrated, his face was very red, and his pulse was very weak. Such a young child would probably not be able to hold on.

He didn't dare to do anything, as if he couldn't cure the disease, it would ruin his reputation.

"Doctor, please save him. I've already been to many clinics. You're my last hope. Take a good look at him. He's still breathing. He's still gasping for air. Why can't you treat him?"

"Doctor, please help him, help my child..."

The woman pleaded miserably to the doctor, but her voice gradually became quieter due to exhaustion. In the end, only her mouth was opening and closing, but no sound could be heard. She gradually fell into deep despair.

The people around also showed sympathy. A life was slowly disappearing before everyone's eyes, and no one would remain unmoved.

But they had no choice. Life and death were determined by fate. Countless people died from injuries and illnesses among them, and no one found it strange and was used to it.

Lu Shi frowned. This was a particularly bad thing in this era. Even if a person was still alive and breathing, they would still give up their life for fear of the consequences and of ruining their reputation.

I can understand it, but perhaps, this is the sadness of the times.

"Host, let's save him." The monkey system was already standing on Lu Shi's shoulder and crying loudly.

Lu Shi did not refuse. Apart from anything else, this was a great opportunity to promote their Changping Village.

He pushed through the crowd and walked up to the woman, handing her the pill.

"This is a medicine developed in our village. If you believe in me, give it to your child and there may be hope."

This was made from the fresh herbs he picked yesterday. Due to the lack of spiritual energy, he adjusted the method and formula of refining the pill. Perhaps it was his first attempt, so he wasted a lot of herbs before he successfully refined this batch of pills.

Before the woman could react, someone in the crowd recognized Lu Shi.

"Is this the scholar from our town?"

"It's him. I remember they live in Changping Village, right? Did they research this medicine?"

"real or fake?"

They still respected the Juren, but it was really difficult for them to believe that a scholar could get involved in the field of medicine and make a difference.

On the second floor of a restaurant not far away, several people were watching silently and with great interest.

"Brother Huaian, do you think this guy is reliable? He won't end up getting himself into trouble, will he?"

"I believe him." Wen Huaian said lightly. He had just heard the three words Changping Village. If it was really as he expected, the effect of the medicine would not be bad.

Sure enough, the woman here seemed to have grasped the last straw.

When Lu Shi was refining the pill, he took into consideration that mortals might not be able to withstand the medicinal properties of the original pill, so he reduced its size by half. Now it appears to be only the size of a soybean.

The woman took it and put it into the child's mouth.

The pill melts in your mouth and does not require water to swallow.

Everyone waited quietly for the medicine to take effect, as if praying for a miracle to happen.
