If you keep making noise, I won’t stand it anymore!

Lying on the ground was a man in his early thirties, thin. His clothes had been washed so much that the original color could not be seen. There were several patches on the corners and cuffs of his clothes. His face was clean-shaven and his hair was neatly combed.

Mei Xiang squatted down and stretched out her right hand to touch his pulse at the wrist. After a few breaths, she said, "Mei Ying, go to the car and get some water for him to drink." Then she glanced at Situ Yidong and the others standing in a circle and added, "Everyone should stand farther away. It's not good for air circulation if you gather too closely. He's fine. He may not have eaten or rested well recently, so he fainted due to low blood sugar. He'll be fine once he wakes up."

Meiying brought a bowl of warm water from the carriage, and Xiaosan helped feed the man some. Meixiang checked his pulse again and confirmed that it was stronger than before, but he might not wake up in a short time. "He may not wake up for a while, but we can't just leave him on the side of the road. Brother Situ Shi, can you move him to your carriage and wait until he wakes up?"

"That's definitely no problem. We have to walk the rest of the way anyway, and the carriage happens to be empty." As he said that, he asked Meiying, Xiaosan, Xiaonuo and the others to lift the man onto the carriage. They followed behind and talked about the affairs of Liuzhou Prefecture as they walked.

The man was already awake when he was put on the carriage, but he didn't want to move. To him, it didn't matter where he was, so he simply let himself lie down on the carriage and fell asleep.

Along the way, we often saw old people and women working in the fields, and sometimes there were some half-grown children helping, but there were few middle-aged laborers. It really verified what Old Man Luo said, that most of the people in the nearby villages were old people, children, women and children.

An hour later, they saw from afar the small courtyard full of medicinal herbs at the entrance of the village that Old Man Luo had mentioned. The three houses faced north and south, and the courtyard was surrounded by a bamboo fence. Through the gaps in the fence, they could clearly see pieces of land planted with different varieties of medicinal herbs growing well, and from afar they could smell the fragrance of herbs in the air.

Meixiang couldn't help but close her eyes and take a deep breath, silently identifying in her mind what herbs Old Man Luo had planted in the yard. Seeing this, Xiaosan, who was standing next to her, also took a deep breath and closed her eyes.

Meixiang's face, with her eyes slightly closed, showed an increasingly happy smile. Her already delicate little face seemed to glow. Situ Yidong and others were stunned for a moment.

"Oh, little girl, you really are here!" The greeting coming from not far away broke this beautiful picture.

"Cough" Chu Zeming and others who came back to their senses coughed lightly and turned their heads, their faces and ears slightly flushed, and the scene just now was deeply imprinted in their minds. Many years later, whenever they think of this day, some people are happy, and more people are full of regrets for missing it.

Meixiang opened her eyes upon hearing this, and saw that it was indeed Old Man Luo standing at the gate of the courtyard: "Ah, Uncle Luo, you really didn't lie to me. I just smelled the fragrance of at least fifteen herbs in the air."

"Hahaha, the girl is indeed an expert. I have planted a total of eighteen of these plants in my yard." Old man Luo laughed. It is a happy thing for anyone to meet someone who knows the business.

"Really? Which three are there that I haven't smelled out yet, Uncle Luo, take me to see them quickly." Meixiang pulled Xiaosan, lifted her skirt and ran towards Old Man Luo's courtyard. Chu Zeming and the others were also infected by this cheerful atmosphere and followed with a smile.

Meixiang looked at the medicinal fields in front of her, the light in her eyes couldn't be blocked: "Uncle Luo, did you grow all these? It's amazing! This is the first time I have seen these three kinds of herbs in real life." Meixiang shouted, pointing to the three innermost medicinal fields.

"Hahaha......"

Meixiang sniffed the air again. This strong herbal scent must be coming from more than just Uncle Luo's yard. "Uncle Luo, are there other families in the village that grow herbs? I smell other herbal scents."

"You really have a good nose. We can't say that everyone in Luojia Village knows how to grow herbs, but more than 90% of them grow some to a greater or lesser extent."

Situ Yidong and the others froze again, and then looked at Meixiang with envy. What kind of divine physique does this lady have? I just said that I would help the people increase production and income, and when I came to visit Luojia Village, I encountered a "herbal medicine village". This luck is really too good!

"Uncle Luo, can you take us for a walk around the village? Oh, they are all my friends who came with me. If there are any suitable herbs, we would like to purchase some more."

"Oh, that's great. Do you want to take a rest or go take a look at the village now?" Old Man Luo asked happily when he heard that.

Meixiang turned to look at Chu Zeming. He was the weakest among the group. After the master's treatment, his sleep quality improved a lot, but the loss over the years could not be made up overnight. "Brother Chu, are you still feeling well? Do you need to rest for a while?"

"Thank you for your concern, Sister Xiang'er. I'm fine. Just follow your plan and don't worry about me." Chu Zeming said with a smile.

"Uncle Luo, let's go now."

Meixiang and her group had just walked out of Old Man Luo's courtyard when Meiying, who had been guarding the carriage, walked over quickly. After nodding and greeting Old Man Luo who was walking in front of them, she turned around and reported to Meixiang anxiously, "Miss, the man in the carriage has woken up."

Hearing this, the group turned and walked towards the carriage. The man who was about to get off the carriage with the help of Xiao Nuo heard the noise, looked up at Meixiang and others, lowered his head, got off the carriage, turned around and left.

"This?" Doesn't this person even have the most basic manners?

Seeing Meixiang and the others' surprised expressions, Old Man Luo sighed and said, "Miss, Master, he treats everyone like this. We are all used to it. By the way, why is he in your carriage today?"

Meixiang briefly told Old Man Luo about her encounter with the man, and Old Man Luo sighed again: "He must have gone to see his deceased wife and children again. He is a pitiful man. Alas!"

Seeing that everyone was looking at him with puzzled eyes, Old Man Luo had to explain to everyone: "This kid is also from our Luojia Village and lives in the easternmost part. When the court recruited soldiers a few years ago, this kid also joined the army. At that time, his wife was pregnant, which was a happy thing. Who knew that two years later, when he returned from the war, he was the only one left at home."

"Ah?! What happened?"
