Wealth and glory seek stability

Mo Chuan patted the dirt in his hands and looked around.

"Huh? Where's Lingbao?"

Jian Xi pursed her lips and asked him to look at the hut. "They said they wanted to go see the old lady's grandson."

Mo Chuan directly threw the wheat straw seedlings in his hand to Wu Zhuo, "Let's go and take a look."

As he spoke, he walked towards the hut in the distance.

Bai Zhi inside was checking the pulse of a skinny little boy with a serious expression.

When he saw Jian Xi and others trying to come in, he immediately shouted, "Don't come in!"

Mo Chuan didn't understand.

Bai Zhi looked at Jian Xi with eyes that seemed to be asking for help, "Sister, do you have any extra handkerchiefs? Throw them to me."

Jian Xi threw the two handkerchiefs on her body in without any hesitation.

Baizhi took the handkerchief and first covered the face of Lingbao next to her, and then used the remaining handkerchief to cover her own face.

A bad thought popped up in Jian Xi's mind. Could it be some serious illness that could make Bai Zhi so serious?

Is it an infectious disease?

Bai Zhi continued, "Stay away. This child may have leprosy, which is fatal. Taoist Mo Chuan, please find a way to boil some hot water. I just saw several clumps of wormwood that have not yet withered on the hillside over there. Go pick some and burn them."

Leprosy is a fatal infectious disease.

Jian Xi's heart shrank. She didn't know any medical skills, but she was a person who listened to advice very much.

He immediately took Wu Zhuo to the back mountain to pick mugwort.

"Mo Chuan, go boil some water, remember to be quick."

Mo Chuan didn't have time to think about Lingbao, he did it immediately after hearing the order.

Jian Xi didn't forget to say to the two kids, "The three of us are going out. Remember to come out and get some fresh air. It's very stuffy in there."

"it is good."

Baizhi waited for the others to leave before pulling Lingbao out of the house.

The few of them did not dare to delay. Mo Chuan found an iron pot in the backyard, and went to the river at the foot of the mountain to fetch a large bucket of water, and immediately started to boil water.

It can be seen that the old woman's family is not well off, as there is not even a flint near the stove.

Fortunately, Mo Chuan was familiar with making fire and quickly lit the stove.

The freshly picked mugwort was wet. Jian Xi placed the mugwort under the stove and lit it. A thick smoke came out of the green mugwort.

Bai Zhi hurriedly shouted, "Yes, that's it, sister, give it to me. We were very careful just now. Just in case, it would be helpful to fumigate it with burning wormwood."

Jian Xi didn't say anything, but silently held the mugwort in her hand and tried her best to fumigate the two people's bodies.

Ling Bao looked at Jian Xi whose belly was slightly bulging, squatted down and fumigate herself little by little, tears instantly bursting out.

"Sister, it's all my fault. If I hadn't insisted on joining in the fun, this wouldn't have happened."

Jian Xi stared at the places on the two people's bodies that were not affected by the smoke, and said, "Don't move, it will be healed soon."

Wu Zhuo watched Mo Chuan making a fire nearby. When the water in the pot was about to boil, he threw all the bark and leaves he had collected into the pot.

"What are you doing?" Mo Chuan shouted.

Wu Zhuo looked innocent, "Aren't you going to make medicine? This is the leprosy tree. The bark and leaves have preventive and therapeutic effects. Boil it for a while, and then wipe your hands with the boiled leaves after drinking it, and you won't be infected."

Mo Chuan frowned, "Really?"

How come he had never heard of such a tree in the world?

The bark and leaves in the pot looked like wild flowers and weeds that Wu Zhuo had picked up on the roadside.

Wu Zhuo felt that he was being questioned and crossed his arms over his chest. "I am the most promising witch doctor in the tribe. How dare you not believe me?"

If he wasn't afraid that these people would be infected with leprosy and pass it on to him, he wouldn't be so kind.

Mo Chuan turned his eyes to the side and saw Jian Xi's gloomy expression.

Jian Xi's sinister voice sounded from behind Wu Zhuo, "In other words, you may have known that the child was suffering from leprosy?"

Even though he knew the reason, he did not try to stop them and just played them around like monkeys.

it is good.

It's really good.

She hadn't been this angry in a long time.

Wu Zhuo turned his back stiffly. For some reason, he felt a chill on the back of his head.

The air was like gel, and only the bubbling sound of the herbal soup in front of Mo Chuan could be heard.

"Huh? The bark and leaves of the leprosy tree. It's written in the medical book that Master gave me that the leprosy tree can treat and prevent leprosy. That's great. We are saved."

Bai Zhi hugged Lingbao beside her, her eyes full of joy.

Jian Xi didn't say anything. She just waited for the herbs to be cooked, then scooped a bowl and handed it to Wu Zhuo.

Wu Zhuo knew that this time he might have offended his master for the next five years, and he didn't dare to say that he had never come into contact with lepers and there was no need for him to drink the herbal medicine. He took it and swallowed it all down his throat without caring that the medicine was boiling hot.

Jian Xi had no intention of making things difficult for Wu Zhuo, it was just that the way this man did things was a little too unreasonable.

We still need to find an opportunity to make an example of someone.

Wu Zhuo's behavior shows that the people who follow her are not completely loyal.

She must find an opportunity to shock everyone.

Keng!

The sound of swords being unsheathed was heard.

A strange yet familiar voice came, "Hahaha, you never expected it, it's your own bad luck that brought you here, this young master will not let you off this time."

Qing Zhuzui came with a group of servants, all of whom were armed with weapons and were strong and sturdy.

Jian Xi asked harshly:

"Don't people in Qingzhufang follow the law?"

Qing Zhuzui seemed to have heard the funniest joke in the world, "The law? In Kecheng, I am the law. That old woman's grandson has leprosy, and you have been in contact with patients with the plague. I will send you to the plague village today. What's wrong with that?

If you know what's best for you, hand over the wheat seeds, kneel down and kowtow to me to admit your mistake, maybe I will show mercy and forgive you."

Jian Xi was so angry at this top-notch guy that she almost laughed. If they were given wheat seeds, they would still have a chance to survive. But Qing Zhuzui looked so frivolous, what did he want wheat seeds for?

I asked, "What do you want the wheat seeds for?"

Qing Zhuzui raised one leg, as if he was playing with his prey, and said with a playful smile: "Why should I tell you? Come on!"

Six or seven servants were lined up in front.

Jian Xi suddenly came up with an idea that would kill two birds with one stone.

"Mo Chuan!"

Mo Chuan pulled out a soft sword from his waist. It was a trophy he won when he passed by Xiasheng Grassland.

The soft sword slashed and poked.

The strong and robust servants were injured, and coupled with the leg strength weighing over a hundred pounds, anyone who had fought with him felt the pain.

Seeing that Mo Chuan was a difficult character, everyone directed their attack towards Jian Xi and the others.

Wu Zhuo was truly powerless, and immediately panicked, he could only dodge everywhere but had no power to fight back.
