After the indigenous heroine was reborn, she went crazy and reorganized the plot line
Chapter 9: Crazy Daily Life of Finding Books 4
Yuan Town is surrounded by towering camphor trees. Although it is early autumn now, the trees are still lush and green.
The area surrounded by camphor trees is filled with a faint and elegant scent.
From time to time, some spherical fruits would fall on the road, paving the gravel road like a layer of purple-black mat, which was unique and elegant.
Rong Su looked at the lush camphor trees, smelled their unique fragrance, and had some ideas in his mind.
It is worthy of being a place of doctors, even the plants grown there can be used as medicine.
The roots, fruits, branches and leaves of camphor trees can all be made into medicinal materials with different therapeutic effects.
It just so happened that she had slept in the cave yesterday while it was raining, and she caught a cold.
Take some of this camphor and make some medicine to dispel wind and cold.
Having made up his mind, Rong Su took action and randomly found a camphor tree to pick it.
Shen Peiqing, who was following behind her, saw her fiddling with something under the camphor tree. He tilted his head and just watched quietly.
Seeing her serious and focused expression, I couldn't help but feel that she looked much better this way than with that hypocritical smile.
After thinking about it, Shen Peiqing's face suddenly darkened and he immediately looked away. He didn't care whether her smile was pretty or not!
After Rong Su had collected the camphor, she turned to the stern-faced Shen Peiqing and said, "Let's go to the inn."
Shen Peiqing hummed a word in a hard voice: "Hmm."
Noticing his expression, Rong Su felt puzzled, but ignored him and turned directly towards the inn to find Gu Yun and Gu Yuer.
When I was looking for Yuan Feng before, I also asked about the place where Yuan Town accommodated foreigners.
The Foreigner Inn is the only place in Yuan Town that accommodates foreigners.
When Rong Su arrived at the foreign inn, she just walked in and looked up, and saw the Gu Yun brothers and sisters sitting in the lobby.
Gu Yuer just turned her head and met her eyes. Gu Yuer was slightly stunned, then turned her head away suddenly as if she was angry.
Seeing this, Rong Su didn't show much expression. Gu Yun also saw Gu Yuer's actions and immediately looked at her with apology.
"Miss Rong, Yu'er was just having a temper for a while. Please forgive me."
Rong Su smiled at Gu Yun, walked over, sat opposite them, picked up the teacup on the table, poured a glass of water, took a sip, and then replied slowly.
"I won't argue with a little girl."
"Thank you, Miss Rong." Gu Yun smiled helplessly.
After he finished speaking, Shen Peiqing had already sat opposite Gu Yun and poured himself some water.
Then, they all fell silent, no one spoke, and the atmosphere became inexplicably frozen.
Until the inn's waiter brought a few plates of vegetarian dishes and greeted them with a smile: "Dear guests, the dishes you ordered are here."
Gu Yun looked at the waiter and thanked him. Then he said to Gu Yuer, who was still sulking, "Yuer, don't you like stuffed tofu the most? The dishes are here, let's eat."
Gu Yuer pursed her lips, tilted her head, and looked at the stuffed tofu from time to time, but she was stubborn and refused to sit straight, and she still looked angry.
Rong Su naturally knew that Gu Yu'er was angry with her. She raised her mouth slightly, picked up the chopsticks, picked up a piece of stuffed tofu, opened her mouth and took a bite, then looked at Gu Yu'er, smiled and praised her.
"Oh, this stuffed tofu is so tender, smooth, and refreshing. It's delicious. If anyone doesn't want to eat it, I'll eat it all."
She made a gesture as if she was about to reach out and move the whole plate of stuffed tofu in front of herself.
When Gu Yuer saw this, her eyes widened immediately, her face filled with shock and displeasure. She turned around, raised her hand and grabbed the plate.
"No! You can't finish it!"
Seeing that she finally looked at him straight in the eye, Rong Su smiled and let go of her hand: "Oh. Then you eat it."
Seeing this, Gu Yuer realized that Rong Su was deliberately using this trick to make her surrender. She immediately became even more angry, her cheeks flushed with anger, and she glared at her and said, "How could you do this!"
Knowing that the little girl was about to cry out of anger, Rong Su decided to stop while she was ahead. She said to her with a serious smile, "Aren't you going to help Yuan Shen and the others? Eat your fill, and we'll work out a solution together."
When Gu Yu'er heard Rong Su's words, she immediately stopped crying and looked at her with surprise: "Sister, are you willing to help Yuan Shen and the others?"
After a pause, she pursed her lips and continued with a hint of resentment, "Sister Rong tried to stop me just now, why did you suddenly change your mind?"
Gu Yuer's words also attracted the attention of Shen Peiqing and Gu Yun.
Seeing that they were all looking at her, Rong Su picked up her chopsticks and ate without hesitation while speaking out the words she had prepared long ago.
"We stopped you just now to avoid a dispute between us and the people of Yuan Town. If you had been unhappy with the people of Yuan Town because of Yuan Shen and his men, would you still be able to enter Yuan Town now?"
After these words were spoken, they were all stunned.
Gu Yuer lowered her eyes, pursed her lips, and looked like she was deep in thought.
Gu Yun saw that Gu Yuer didn't understand, so he spoke first and helped Rong Su explain to her with a gentle smile.
"Yuan Shen has now been judged by the people of Yuan Town to have violated the clan rules. If those of us accompanying him get into a dispute, they will definitely be wary of us, thinking we are out to antagonize them. In this case, we will not be able to enter Yuan Town."
He paused, then looked at Rong Su and asked with a smile, "Is this what Miss Rong meant?"
Rong Su smiled with satisfaction and nodded in agreement with Gu Yun's explanation. It turned out that it was a good thing to be with smart people.
Gu Yu'er seemed to understand what she heard, but she thought for a moment and asked Rong Su, "Then why does Sister Rong want to help them now?"
She had already thought of this explanation, Rong Su answered calmly.
"Because in order to borrow medical books, one must be a direct descendant of the clan leader. And Yuan Shen is the son of the previous clan leader."
After these words were spoken, Gu Yun and Gu Yuer both showed expressions of surprise, obviously they didn't know about this yet.
Gu Yun seemed to be more interested in medical books. He looked at Rong Su and asked, "Does Yuan Zhen really have that medical book?"
Rong Su nodded, then started eating seriously: "Yes."
After receiving the confirmation, Gu Yun pondered for a moment, then said excitedly, "That's really great."
"Then let's eat quickly and find a way to help Yuan Shen and the others!" Gu Yuer was no longer hesitant. Knowing that Rong Su was willing to help, she became excited and picked up her chopsticks to eat heartily.
Gu Yun looked at Gu Yuer like this and shook his head helplessly. He just picked up the chopsticks to eat, but looked up and saw Shen Peiqing opposite him seemed to be motionless, with a silent and thoughtful look on his face. He thought that Shen Peiqing didn't like these dishes.
"Master Shen, are these vegetarian dishes not to your liking? If you want something else, you can call the waiter over to order more."
Shen Peiqing came back to his senses after hearing Gu Yun's words. He also picked up his chopsticks, took a few bites casually, and then said, "No problem."
After hearing what he said, Gu Yun said nothing more. After they had eaten and drunk their fill, the night gradually darkened.
Rong Su was just about to take the camphor trees he had collected today to the inn's kitchen to make some medicine, but as he walked out of his room, he met Gu Yun who seemed to be waiting for him.
When Gu Yun saw her coming out of the room, a look of inexplicable embarrassment appeared on her pretty face. He then saw that she was holding a bag in her hand and couldn't help but ask curiously.
"Miss Rong, what is that in your hand?"
Seeing him looking at the cloth bag in her hand, Rong Su opened the bag and let him see it.
When Gu Yun saw the cloth bag filled with camphor, he immediately understood what Rong Su was going to do. He turned and looked at her with a faint smile.
"Perhaps I can be of use. Why don't you let me help Miss Rong?"
After hearing this, Rong Su thought about it, nodded and walked towards the kitchen, and said to Gu Yun, "Then let's go together."
Seeing that she did not refuse, Gu Yun unconsciously revealed some unconscious joy between his eyebrows, and then quickly followed.
In the kitchen, we explained our needs to the waiter and they obtained the right to use it.
Rong Su planned to make some medicinal powder. The medicinal powder made from camphor has the effects of dispelling wind and cold, relieving pain and itching, and regulating qi and activating blood circulation.
After she told Gu Yun her idea, Gu Yun immediately understood and helped her.
It seemed that Gu Yun was very good at pharmacology. His every move seemed slow and methodical, but in fact it was all in good order. In just half an hour, they had turned all the camphor in the bag into medicinal powder.
After finishing, Rong Su suddenly remembered something. She split the medicine powder in half and handed half to Gu Yun. She looked at him and asked, "You didn't come to me tonight just to make medicine powder for me, did you?"
Gu Yun thanked her and politely declined the medicine powder. He was slightly stunned when he heard her words. He suddenly looked at Rong Su with a serious expression, hesitated for a moment, and then spoke slowly.
"Miss Rong, I saw you use poison to help Yuan Shen and the others escape. You know that this is a taboo for medical practitioners."
She didn't expect that he came to her because she had poisoned the servants.
Rong Su retracted her gaze, lowered her head and slowly packed her things. Her voice was calm, but revealed a hint of indifference: "Really?"
Hearing her perfunctory response, Gu Yun couldn't help but frown slightly. A layer of anxiety crept onto his gentle face. He thought about how to persuade her, hoping that she would not go astray.
"Miss Rong, I know it's very presumptuous of me to say this, but I sincerely don't want you to ruin your reputation as a doctor by using poison. Doctors are there to save lives, not to hurt them."
Rong Su put the last thing in order in her hands. Listening to Gu Yun's advice, she stopped what she was doing and looked up at him.
Gu Yun saw her suddenly raise her head, and the usual smile in her eyes was gone, leaving only indifference and coldness, just like the cold winter.
He couldn't help but be stunned, a little dazed, and a little afraid that he might have said something wrong and angered the other party. He was about to explain his good intentions.
The next second, Rong Su interrupted him and spoke first: "Doctors should save people, not hurt them. In this chaotic world, doctors are also human beings. If they can't even save themselves, how can they save others? I use poison only to protect myself."
Seeing that he was lost in confused thought after listening to her words, Rong Su turned away, her eyes filled with cold sarcasm.
"Thank you for your concern, Doctor Gu. Please don't interfere in my affairs. Take care of your sister first. Sometimes, being too kind can hurt yourself."
After leaving these words behind, she brushed past Gu Yun and walked straight out of the back kitchen door.
Gu Yun lowered his eyes slightly, thinking about Rong Su's words, his eyes filled with confusion and complex emotions. He slowly raised his head to look at the place where she left, and murmured softly: "Self-protection. Did she encounter something?"
For two consecutive days, they split up to find out the general situation of the Yuanzhen people.
This is to plan how to help Yuan Shen and Jiang Yanyu in the future.
After their respective understanding and inquiries.
Perhaps he understood why Yuan Zhen reacted so strongly to Yuan Shen and Jiang Yanyu's elopement, even to the point of capturing the son of the former clan leader.
It turns out that Yuanzhen has a strictly enforced clan rule that prohibits intermarriage with outsiders. If violated, the offender will be severely punished and then expelled from the clan. People of different identities will receive different punishments.
Rong Su also went to find out about Yuan Shen's current situation. He was now imprisoned in the tribe's water dungeon by the tribe elders. Three days had passed, which meant he had been imprisoned for three days and three nights.
Gu Yuer looked at them, somewhat bewildered, and brought up what she and Gu Yun had learned. "My brother and I also learned that this clan rule exists because if a member of the Yuanzhen clan intermarries with an outsider, their children will not live past the age of ten."
"You actually believed this?" Rong Su couldn't help but sneer in her heart when she heard this. She asked back with a faint smile on her face, looking at them.
Gu Yun and Shen Peiqing both fell silent, looking half-believing and half-doubting.
Gu Yu'er was more innocent, her expression showing belief. She looked at her seriously, "My brother and I asked those two families. One family had a relative who married someone from another tribe, and it turned out that their children didn't live past the age of ten."
Rong Su only frowned slightly, and when she paused, she continued with the rest of her words.
"There's another family. This is a couple. They're from the Yuanzhen clan and married someone from another clan. Their previous child died suddenly and mysteriously before the age of ten. Now they don't dare to have any more children."
"Doesn't this prove it? This is a curse!" Gu Yuer lowered her voice, seemingly confused, but actually certain.
As soon as these words were spoken, the suspicion instantly rose to a higher level.
Gu Yun followed Gu Yuer's words and expressed his own views: "There are such sayings about strange and supernatural things. Sometimes they do exist. After all, existence is reasonable."
After hearing this, Gu Yuer nodded in agreement.
Rong Su just thought it was ridiculous. Even though she believed in supernatural things, she didn't believe in curses. She suddenly looked at the silent Shen Peiqing.
"What about you, do you think this is a curse?"
Shen Peiqing was stunned for a moment when Rong Su suddenly asked him this question. Then he pondered for a moment and replied in a low voice, "I don't believe it."
After the words fell, Gu Yuer asked in confusion: "Ah, there are so many proofs here, and you don't believe it? But..."
"Yu'er." Gu Yun seemed to notice the change in Shen Peiqing's expression and spoke to stop Gu Yu'er.
Rong Su looked at Shen Peiqing a few more times. It seemed that this guy was not always dissatisfied with her. At least he had the same idea as her.
Just then, two tribesmen passed by the inn while talking.
"I heard that the Yuan clan elders are planning to torture the woman who was captured and seduced the clan leader's son?"
"Serves her right! I think she's just a vixen. How dare she seduce our clan leader!"
"Hey, shall we go and see it later?"
"Let's go!"
After hearing these conversations, they looked at each other, and Gu Yuer rushed out immediately.
"Hurry up! Sister Jiang is in danger!"
Seeing that Gu Yuer was already hurriedly chasing after the two tribesmen, Gu Yun also hurriedly followed.
Seeing this, Rong Su drank the glass of water slowly before chasing after him. Shen Peiqing took a look at her actions, thought about it, and followed her.
