After the indigenous heroine was reborn, she went crazy and reorganized the plot line
Chapter 104: The Trouble on the Mudflats
The carriage traveled for two days and finally saw a small town.
The coachman was responsible for feeding the horses and also had to eat something along the way, so they got off the carriage and went to do what they needed to do.
Seeing that the dizziness medicine on Rong Su's hand was almost gone, he planned to go to the pharmacy to buy some herbs to make it, and Gu Yun also planned to go with him to help, so naturally the two doctors went to the pharmacy together.
Shitou went to help the coachman, and Shen Peiqing disappeared as soon as he got off the carriage without saying where he was going. Naturally, Rong Su didn't care about him. As long as there was no danger to his life, she wouldn't care about anything else.
In the end, the task of purchasing food for everyone fell on Yulan and Gu Yuer. Since Gu Yuer was still a little weak, she just watched from the side.
Rong Su and Gu Yun found a relatively large pharmacy in the town. After entering, she asked the owner for some herbs, paid him some extra money, and borrowed some tools from the pharmacy to make dizziness medicine.
She was busy getting some herbs, and Gu Yun took the initiative to help her get the other part. They didn't speak to each other, but they already knew what the other needed to do.
In this unspoken situation, they cooperated well with each other, as if the tacit understanding between them had been formed unconsciously.
While boiling the herbs, they gathered in front of the medicine furnace. Gu Yun spoke softly, his voice filled with tenderness and happiness.
"If only we could pause right now."
Hearing this, Rong Su stared at the flame in the medicine furnace, did not say anything, just listened quietly.
Seeing that she didn't reply, a trace of sadness flashed across Gu Yun's eyes, but it quickly disappeared. He asked in a gentle voice, "How is the injury on your hand?"
When the injury on her wrist was mentioned, Rong Su subconsciously gathered her sleeves and said softly, "It's okay. Don't worry."
When Gu Yun noticed Rong Su's actions, he felt uncomfortable. He knew that she was intentionally hiding something, but even if she didn't say it, he would see it.
During the past two days of traveling, whenever she stopped to rest long enough, she would find a reason to get off the carriage, and then find a place not too far from the carriage. After that, you could see her holding some silver-gleaming weapons and using trees as targets, practicing something continuously.
He couldn't understand what she was practicing, but he knew some people in the martial arts world and knew that it might be a kind of martial arts.
Seeing her learning martial arts, he couldn't help but support her, because in this turbulent era, having more ability to protect oneself is a good thing.
However, he didn't want to see her practicing martial arts with injuries. It would not only make him worried, but also make him heartbroken.
Gu Yun looked at her opposite him. Her eyes were as calm as water. The shadow of the blazing flame in the medicine furnace was reflected in her moving eyes, making them look particularly bright.
Maybe he could help her somewhere.
Finally, after Rong Su prepared the dizziness medicine, she and Gu Yun left the pharmacy. However, no one knew what Gu Yun was going to do, so he asked the boss for a few more medicines before leaving.
After thinking about it, she thought maybe he was going to make some medicine as a backup, so she didn't think much about it. In the end, they decided to go find Shi Tou and the others.
Because before we parted, we agreed to meet at a small inn in town.
On the way there, I occasionally heard some merchants sitting next to the noodle stalls talking, and I saw that they had sad faces, as if they had encountered something bad.
"Why are there suddenly so many terrifying monsters on the mudflats?"
"How should I know! It's such bad luck! I was planning to go to Xuancheng to do business, but now I can't even get there!"
"Not really. I heard that some caravans invited martial artists to come and visit. But the money they paid was a lot."
"I'm just a small businessman. Why would I spend that much money to find some quacks? Forget it. Let's go to Zhongdu and have a look."
The two businessmen looked sad and dejected.
Rong Su and Gu Yun looked at each other and realized that something must have happened on the way to Xuancheng.
Thinking of this, Rong Su walked towards the two businessmen with a friendly smile on his face. "Brothers, I was just passing by and happened to hear you two talking about going to Xuancheng. Isn't that a coincidence? I'm also going to Xuancheng to do business. I wonder what happened? Why do you two look so worried?"
Originally, Rong Su approached, and the two men saw her beautiful face and did not have much hostility. However, when they heard that she was also a businesswoman, they were still a little wary. They just glanced at her, and then their eyes met, without saying a word.
Seeing this, Rong Su knew what to do. She turned around and said to the noodle stall owner, "Boss, I've paid for the noodles for these two brothers. Bring them two more bowls!"
After Rong Su finished speaking, Gu Yun went to pay the money. The noodle stall owner didn't care who paid the money, as long as there was money. And since there was business again, he was naturally happy and immediately shouted, "Great!"
Seeing how good Rong Su was at dealing with people, the two businessmen lowered their guard and began to tell her about the mudflats.
After learning about the situation on the mudflats, Rong Su said goodbye to the two with a smile, and went to the inn with Gu Yun to find Shitou and the others.
After returning, everyone was there except Shen Peiqing.
Rong Su didn't wait for Shen Peiqing. She asked everyone to sit in the lobby of the inn, and Rong Su told them that there was a monster on the mudflat.
After hearing this, Gu Yuer revealed a horrified expression: "What kind of monster is this? It's crawling on the ground, and it has a bloody mouth full of fangs. And it's coming in groups. It's too scary!"
Yes, this kind of monster was the first time Rong Su had heard of it. She had no idea what kind of monster it was. She frowned and didn't know what to do for a moment.
This news is not good for them now, because it will delay their trip to Xuancheng again.
There was a long silence. After all, no one seemed to be able to think of any good solution, because to go to Xuancheng, the mudflat was a must-pass place.
At this time, Shen Peiqing came to the inn and saw that they all had sad faces, which made him curious.
He looked directly at the stone and asked, "What happened?"
When Shi Tou saw his master coming back, he immediately stood up and made room for him. When Shen Peiqing saw this, he sat down directly, crossed his arms, and waited for Shi Tou to tell him something.
"Master, Doctor Rong and some merchants who have been to the mudflats before have learned about the situation there. They say that a large number of crawling monsters with long mouths and fangs, tough leather armor, and bodies that crawl on the ground have appeared there since some time ago."
"Everyone is troubled by this now, because that mudflat is a must-pass place. If you can't get through it, you can't go to Xuancheng."
After hearing this, everyone's faces seemed even more depressed.
Shen Peiqing's gaze fell directly on Rong Su, who was sitting opposite him. Seeing her frowning and deep in thought, he pondered for a moment before speaking slowly, "Didn't the county magistrate in charge of this place deal with this matter?"
"They said that the county magistrate here had sent people to deal with it a while ago, but those monsters were so ferocious that they have already bitten and killed many people. Now the county magistrate is at a loss as to what to do about this matter." After hearing what Shen Peiqing said, Rong Su told him what he knew, and he was still very troubled by the matter.
After saying this, there was a brief silence. Shen Peiqing seemed to be very calm. He said slowly, "If I remember correctly, I saw a monster like this in a book. It was very similar to what you described."
"The earth dragon has four legs and resembles a crocodile. Its scales are like armor, and its mouth has sharp teeth like a saw. It moves swiftly and agilely."
Hearing this, Gu Yuer became interested and asked excitedly, "Then does that book you read describe how to deal with this monster? Oh no, this earth dragon? I didn't expect this monster to be called a dragon. It's obviously causing a lot of harm to people."
After asking, Gu Yuer muttered softly, feeling unhappy about the appearance of the monster.
After Gu Yuer finished asking, everyone looked at Shen Peiqing, hoping to get from him how to deal with the earth dragon.
Shen Peiqing looked at everyone's eyes and looked at him with a calm expression. He pondered for a while and shook his head.
"The book review doesn't say anything."
I thought I had found a glimmer of hope, but it turned out to be a failure. Naturally, I felt a little disappointed.
Rong Su was worried that if she couldn't get to Xuancheng as soon as possible, Rong Yingxin might get what she wanted and leave early, and she would end up with nothing.
No matter what, we must find a way to cross the mudflats!
In the end, Rong Su couldn't think of a practical solution, so he asked everyone to rent a few rooms in the inn to stay in, otherwise just sitting there was not a solution.
At night, the cold wind was blowing fiercely. Compared to the mining city, the towns near the border of Dongzhou seemed not to be as cold, even though there was a howling cold wind.
Maybe it’s because we are getting closer to the sea.
The book says that cities, towns and villages near the sea are cool in summer and warm in winter, which is obviously not wrong.
With something on her mind, Rong Su tossed and turned in bed and couldn't fall asleep.
He lit the oil lamp, got up, and sat by the bed for a while. Then he couldn't stay any longer and remembered that there was a small courtyard behind the inn, so he decided to stay there for a while, enjoy the cool breeze and calm down.
Sometimes she likes to find a very quiet and uncomfortable place to calm down and think about things, because this allows her to concentrate her whole body and soul in her mind.
When we arrived at the small courtyard, there was no one around. There was only a stone table and four stone chairs fixed on the ground.
She walked over with the oil lamp, found a stone bench and sat down, letting the cold wind whistle in her ears.
As the body was blown by the cold wind, the mind became clearer and many things were clearly thought about in the mind.
Before I had sat down for a while, I heard footsteps.
Rong Su pulled herself back to her thoughts, raised her head, and through the dim light of the oil lamp, she saw a figure slowly approaching.
When the man came closer, she could see his face clearly in the dim light. It was cold and stern, with an indifferent expression. It was Shen Peiqing.
Seeing that it was him, Rong Su withdrew her gaze and her slightly nervous mood subsided.
"The fact that I can still see Master Shen in the middle of the night means that Master Shen can't sleep either."
When Shen Peiqing heard Rong Su calling him like this, his handsome brows frowned slightly. Ever since they made the deal with Bai Tiaomen that day, she had been calling him like this. Obviously, this way of addressing him seemed much more polite than the previous rude way, but somehow, he didn't feel very happy.
Just like before, she felt more comfortable calling him by his full name.
Thinking this in his heart, Shen Peiqing spoke directly: "I didn't expect that Doctor Rong could be so polite."
How could Rong Su not hear the sarcasm in the words? She immediately became angry. Would this guy die if he didn't say such sarcastic words to her?
"Haha. Shen Peiqing, don't be shameless."
If it weren't for the fact that he was currently the richest man in Bai Tiaomen, she would not have given him a good face!
Hearing Rong Su call him like this again, Shen Peiqing's eyes softened a little and he felt relieved.
Even though he was scolded like that, he didn't seem to get angry. Rong Su looked at Shen Peiqing with a strange look. This guy might have been hit in the head and become stupid.
For a moment, neither of them spoke. The only sound around them was the whistling of the cold wind and the occasional voice of the night watchman, but nothing else.
Rong Su really didn't like having one more person disturb her thoughts, and she felt very uncomfortable being alone with Shen Peiqing. She couldn't say anything and wanted to go back.
Just as he was about to get up, Shen Peiqing spoke, his voice sounding a little gloomy in the quiet night.
"When do you plan to cross the mudflats?"
Hearing this question, Rong Su stopped getting up and thought for a moment.
"Two days later."
Shen Peiqing turned to look at her, his eyes shimmering with a deep light: "Have you thought of a way to cross the mudflats?"
"No. Methods are all thought up by people, but we can't delay going to Xuancheng." Rong Su shook her head, but she was determined to go to Xuancheng.
The other party was silent for a moment, and suddenly asked a question that made Rong Su a little wary.
"You went to Xuancheng not just to look for herbs."
This was not a question, but a word of affirmation. Rong Su narrowed her eyes and looked directly into Shen Peiqing's deep black eyes.
But Rong Su suddenly thought of something and regained her composure. She stood up and said softly, "Let's go to bed. It gets colder the later it gets."
Seeing that she had no intention of answering him, Shen Peiqing watched her leave the courtyard and sat there for a long time before leaving.
I don’t know if it was because I was pissed off by Shen Peiqing, but I was able to sleep. As soon as I got back to the bed, I fell asleep. It was magical.
Naturally, this matter was just a sigh in her heart, and Rong Su soon forgot about it.
Two days later, Rong Su asked everyone to set out to cross the mudflats.
She dared to do this not because she was very sure, but because she could no longer wait.
However, she was not one to act rashly. After all, she had practiced the Thousand Transformation Dart for a long time. Although it could not be said to be always accurate, it was at least of some use. Maybe it could be used to deal with those earth dragons.
So, among them, only Gu Yun siblings and Yu Lan don’t know martial arts, so they should act separately.
She made such an arrangement that she, Shitou and Shen Peiqing would lure away the earth dragon, and then after Gu Yun and the others passed, they would find a way to avoid the earth dragon and reunite with them.
As soon as they were told about this plan, the first person to object was Gu Yun.
"No, Ah Su, you haven't mastered the Thousand Transformation Darts yet. How can you deal with the Earth Dragon?"
