At the beginning, everything was normal. Lin Murong recovered and the herbs given by the Taoist priest eliminated the side effects of the blood medicine. His grandmother was very happy to see him healthy.
However, other families were not as lucky as Lin Murong. Within one to two months, those who took the blood medicine gradually became weaker, and some even died from weakness. Even though Lin Murong had not witnessed it with her own eyes, she had heard from her grandmother that those who took the blood medicine became even sicker after the effects wore off.
Before, Lin Murong and her grandmother had distributed the seeds to several families with whom they had a good relationship and had also taken the blood medicine. It was unknown who leaked the news, but even though Lin Murong did not go out during that time, the other grief-stricken families noticed something was wrong. Those families collectively broke into the Lin family's house and pulled out all the herbs in the medicinal fields that Lin Murong had carefully cultivated.
But how could the small medicinal field satisfy so many people? A few days later, the Lin family was surrounded by those people again to ask for medicinal herbs. Lin Murong told them that he had no seeds left. Originally, there were a few old medicinal herbs left in the medicinal field that were kept for seeds, but now they have been pulled out.
But no one believed these words. Lin Murong spoke until his mouth was dry and those people were unwilling to leave. Fortunately, people from the yamen arrived quickly. Several of these people had been arrested before for breaking in and stealing things, so they dispersed when they saw the government officials.
But things started to get tough for the Lin family after that. Almost every day, people would throw foul, smelly things at the door, and the cleaning staff would complain endlessly. Lin Murong and his grandmother were followed when they went out, and sometimes, when they walked into less crowded areas, they would be spitted at. In the middle of the night, people would bang gongs and drums outside the door while they slept, and even the neighbors started to resent them.
Finally, seeing that his grandmother was so exhausted from torture, and his own health was deteriorating, Lin Murong decided to leave Su County and come to the capital.
"I didn't expect this to happen." Li Mofu said thoughtfully.
Although he had anticipated this when he knew about it, he still didn't expect those people to be so united and to directly break into the Lin family. After all, the Lin family is a wealthy family in Su County.
Perhaps it was because there were only Lin Murong and his grandmother left in the Lin family, and Lin Murong was usually kind and friendly, so those people felt that he was easy to bully.
If Lin Murong had been a bit tougher and more ruthless, those people wouldn't have dared to offend him so much. However, if this were to happen, rumors would spread in Su County that a villain had seized the life-saving medicine. Then, finding a martial arts hero to eliminate him would be another story.
"Alas," Lin Murong's throat moved, and then he sighed deeply, "It was obviously my fate to meet that Taoist priest, and I never wanted to monopolize the herbs. I just need to wait another month for the herbs to bear seeds, and then I can share them with more people..."
"It's not your fault, this is originally yours." Lu Mingyun said.
"Yeah, it's a favor to give them to them, and it's my duty not to give them to them. I'm not a Taoist immortal who saves the world, so why should I give my life-saving medicine to others? It's ridiculous." Li Mofu said disdainfully.
Lin Murong pursed her lips and smiled softly, then shook her head, "If they had come to me and asked for medicine, and then listened to me explain the functions of every herb in the medicine field, they wouldn't have ended up with nothing."
Li Mofu pouted and said, "You don't understand. They'd rather no one get it than tolerate one person surviving. Either everyone has it, or no one gets it. That's their mentality."
Lu Mingyun sat next to Li Mofu, glanced at him, then picked up the teacup and took a sip.
