Yufu returned to the yard, and there was silence inside, people sitting scattered all over the place, but no one spoke, the children fell asleep, not crying or making noise, and the villagers all had haggard faces with sunken eye sockets , his skin was sallow, much worse than when he left, and a few familiar faces were gone, probably because he couldn't hold on.

As soon as they saw him walk in, everyone immediately stopped what they were doing, and their fiery eyes fell on him, staring at him in unison, making him feel uncomfortable.

The expressions on their faces were a bit strange, they all surrounded him, hesitating to speak.

"What's the matter?" Yu Fu asked softly, surrounded by so many people, he felt very stressed, calmly took two steps back to a place where there were few people, and subconsciously clutched his stomach to protect the child in his stomach .

Before, he was just a doctor, he would not be afraid to get along with all kinds of patients, and he wanted to save them from fire and water, but now that he has a body, it is different now, this child is the flesh and blood of his senior brother, the only one in this world with He is very careful about things he concerns.

A woman holding a child came out. The child in her arms was sleeping soundly. The skin on her body was flushed and her cheeks were festered. She only applied some ordinary herbal medicine, which relieved the pain but could not cure the root cause. She was afraid of waking up the child. , the voice was very low, the tone was a little urgent, and he said softly, "Genius doctor, we heard that you have found a cure for this strange disease, right?"

She cried softly and begged, "Genius doctor, please save my child, he can't hold on any longer."

As soon as she said this, the people around stared at Yu Fu with burning eyes, full of expectations, walked to his side anxiously, and pulled his sleeve nervously.

They all thought so in their hearts, but Yu Fu was traveling all the way, full of dust and dust, and hadn't had time to take a break, and didn't even have a sip of tea, so they didn't have the nerve to ask.

And this mother was worried about her children, and couldn't wait any longer, and spoke out the aspirations of all of them

Someone in the crowd echoed in a low voice, "That's right, genius doctor, if you have a cure, please save us. We are grateful, and we will definitely repay you in the next life."

Yu Fu pursed his lips and fell into deep thought. The villagers looked at him expectantly, waiting for his answer.

For the sake of the child in his stomach, he did not reveal the facts, and said half-truthfully, "I just have some clues, and the cure will still take some time. Please give me some more time. I will soon think of a way to cure you."

In the end, he said to them apologetically, "I'm really sorry, I failed everyone's expectations."

There are many sick villagers in the yard, and most of them are terminally ill and in critical condition. It cannot be cured by one or two bowls of medicine.

Even draining all the blood from his body may not necessarily save everyone. After all, this is not a once-and-for-all solution.

What's more, with his current physical condition, he was seriously worn out, and the fetal image was unstable, showing signs of slight tire slippage, so he really couldn't afford the dose of medicine for so many people.

He is a selfish person, his brother is gone, now, the most important thing to him is the child in his womb.

He no longer has the confidence to be self-willed, and no one will take care of him after he misbehaves, so he has to think more about himself.

Right now, he doesn't care about anyone, he just wants to give birth to this child safely.

The expressions on the faces of the villagers turned into disappointment, and they looked at him as if they were blaming. Several people turned their backs to him, whispering with their heads down, and when they looked up again, their eyes became sullen. His expression was a bit ruthless.

This was a look he had never seen on their faces before, and he couldn't help but feel a little scared. He had already seen the evil in people's hearts, so it was hard not to be on guard against these people.

What he didn't know was that the villagers didn't tell him the truth, they were testing each other.

People on the mountain and people in the village below the mountain have been exchanging letters, and what happened at the bottom of the mountain has long been passed on.

The yard is not big at all, and everyone knows about any troubles, so everyone in the yard now knows that his blood can cure this strange disease, and those polite words are just the last decency of both parties.

They didn't expect that Yufu would choose to hide it. For a moment, they felt a feeling of being cheated in their hearts, and they were furious, and developed a deep resentment towards Yufu.

They believed that Yufu had never really wanted to save them from the very beginning, and the trust established between them over the past few days collapsed in an instant.

When it comes to vital interests, everyone is selfish, and human nature is inherently evil.

But they didn't turn against him immediately. He thought it was a fool. He went back to the room and put down the medicine box, but found that the book boy was not in the room, and he was not in the yard. He was a little puzzled, where would he go at this time?

He went outside, grabbed a villager, and asked, "Hello, do you know where my book boy has gone? It's the little boy who has been helping you with medicine. I can't find it anywhere." to him."

"No, I don't know." The villagers faltered in answering, their eyes dodged and they didn't dare to look at him.

Yu Fu panicked, thinking something must have happened to him, but he didn't understand why the villagers refused to tell him the truth?

He walked out in a hurry, and the villagers who were sitting on the ground suddenly stood up. Several men were tall and stood in front of him. Although they were ill, their strength should not be underestimated. He was not them. opponent.

Yu Fu's expression changed, and he asked, "What's the matter?"

Several people looked at each other, and one of the young men asked him, "The genius doctor just came back from outside, where are you going?"

He folded his hands and shielded his lower abdomen, lowered his eyes, and explained softly, "My bookboy is missing. I'm afraid he might be in danger, so I went out to look for him."

The man persuaded, "Don't worry, the genius doctor, Mr. Tong is fine. He just went to the back mountain to collect medicine, and he will be back soon. It's windy outside, and it's freezing cold. Be careful of catching a cold. The genius doctor should go indoors and wait." .”

Yu Fu shook his head and said, "No, I'm still worried, I want to go and see for myself."

He planned to go around the people in front of him, but they blocked his way with their hands outstretched, his brows frowned, a little angry, and he asked angrily, "What are you doing?"

Several men walked forward without saying a word, one of them held one of his shoulders, dragged and dragged him, and brought him back to the room involuntarily.

He was afraid of hurting the child in his belly, so he didn't dare to struggle hard. He is a hero in real time, and he knew in his heart that he was no match for these people, so he had to think of other ways.

The wooden door was slammed shut, and there was a sound of ding ding dong dong outside the door, as if tinkering with an iron chain. It quickly became quiet, and the footsteps slowly moved away. He's locked inside.

He was under house arrest by those people outside.

He didn't understand what happened, why the villagers changed their temperament drastically, and why they didn't let him go out, what were they hiding?

But the whereabouts of the book boy was unknown, and he was very worried. The book boy was always clumsy and caused trouble everywhere. She was afraid that he would accidentally offend someone, and she didn't know. What if something happened?

He must find a way to escape from here.

Thinking of this, he couldn't help but feel sad. This small courtyard was originally a paradise built by his senior for him, but now it is also full of dangers.Master did not know where he was wandering, he could not find anyone, and he completely became a homeless person.

In the evening, a man opened the door, brought him some water, put it on the table, turned around and left without saying a word, Yu Fu quickly stopped him, "Please wait a moment."

The man paused, turned his head, looked at him vigilantly, and took two steps to the side, blocking the front of the door for fear that he would run out.

Yu Fu didn't ask him why he locked himself up, he would definitely not answer, and the truth is not the most important thing to him right now.

He smiled slightly, and handed the thing in his hand to the man in front of him, which was a ginseng wrapped in cloth, and said, "Don't be nervous, I won't run away, I will cure you as I said, and I will do it , I found this thousand-year-old ginseng tree by chance at the foot of the mountain, it is extremely rare, and I have never been willing to use it, you can share it with everyone, even if you just drink a sip of soup, it will be good for your illness."

The man didn't reach out to take it, but looked at him half-believingly, Yu Fu persuaded again, "I have no evil intentions, if I want to hurt you, I would have done it as early as the first day, if you don't believe me, you can take it out and ask others People, there are always people who know ginseng."

"Thank you." The man took the ginseng with both hands, wrapped it carefully, bowed to him, opened his mouth, hesitated to speak, seemed to want to tell him something, but in the end he didn't say anything, and silently backed out , and re-lock the door.

Yu Fu sat in the room, silently in a daze. Because he was worried about the book boy, he felt that every minute and every second that passed was difficult. After finally waiting for the outside sky to completely darken, he walked into the yard through the crack of the door. After a glance, everyone fell to the ground and fell asleep unconsciously. There was a pot in the middle of the yard. When they smelled it from a distance, they knew it was the ginseng plant he gave. The water in the pot was still steaming.

He breathed a sigh of relief, brought the stool to the window, stepped on the stool, carefully turned out the window, went around to the back of the house, and went down the mountain by another path.

He didn't want to hurt these villagers, but just smeared some medicinal powder on their ginseng that made them sleepy for several hours. They were all innocent, but they were tortured by illness, and they did some unavoidable actions, thinking in their shoes Thinking about it, if he was the one who got sick, he might not be able to be kinder than these villagers.

He was clutching his stomach, panting slightly, walking a little slowly, and accidentally bumped his stomach when he opened the window, causing a dull pain.

"Baby, be good and don't make trouble. Daddy has important things to do." He whispered into his stomach, wiped the cold sweat from his forehead, and slowed down. The child in his stomach seemed to really listen. By the time he said it, it didn't hurt that much.

He smiled knowingly, but suddenly his footsteps stopped, and the smile froze on his face. He saw a little girl standing in front of him, wearing shabby clothes, she seemed to have run out of the yard.

She was so thin that only her bones were left, with no flesh on her face, and her eyes were particularly protruding, as if the wind could knock her down.

She knew Yu Fu, she opened her big eyes, looked at him eagerly, and asked timidly, "Miraculous doctor, are you going to find Brother Xiaotong?"

She was in a bad mood and ran out without dinner. Her parents didn't care about her and didn't come out to look for her, so she escaped and didn't drink the drugged ginseng soup.

Yu Fu strode up to her, looked at her with hope, and asked in a trembling voice, "Do you know where he is?"

He was prepared to search for a long time without a clue, but the appearance of the little girl gave him a surprise.

The little girl was not used to being so close to others, she lowered her head, picked her fingers, and said softly, "He was taken away by a group of people with knives. I heard from my uncle that they are from the government. We can't mess with them." Let me stop talking nonsense, but I'm afraid Brother Xiao Tong will be in danger, those people are so vicious."

Yu Fu was startled, why did the people from the government take the book boy away?

He stabilized his mind, knelt down and said to the little girl, "It's dark, it's not safe outside, you go back to the yard and sleep with them, don't tell anyone about seeing me, and don't tell them I'm going Where is it, okay?"

The little girl nodded, and asked worriedly, "Genius doctor, will you save Brother Xiaotong?"

She has no father and no mother, and lived with her uncle when she was a child, and the uncle didn't care about her very much. Only the little boy made her feel warm, and he didn't dislike her. He is the best person in the world to her when he taught her how to write, and she doesn't want anything to happen to him.

Yu Fu nodded firmly, stroked her hair gently, and said, "I will definitely, don't worry, go back quickly."

The little girl ran away step by step.

Yu Fu went down the mountain with a heavy heart, and went to the local government. It was getting late, and the door was closed. He was worried about the book boy, not caring whether he would disturb others, so he knocked on the door. It took a long time for someone to come to open the door, yawning all over the place. , wearing the clothes of a guard, with a livid face, yelled at him ferociously, "Who is making noise here? It's late at night, disturbing your lord's rest, do you want to die?"

Yu Fu sincerely apologized to him, "I'm sorry, big brother, I didn't intend to bother you so late, but I really have something urgent to see the magistrate, please let me know, thank you very much."

The guard yin and yang said strangely, "Can cats, cats and dogs see our lord? They don't look in the mirror to see what kind of virtue they are. There are too many people who want to see our lord all day long. If everyone sees us, Aren't adults going to die of exhaustion?"

"Go away," he said impatiently as he drove people out with a stick, "Our lord has already rested. If we have something to do, we will come back tomorrow. Hurry up and leave. If you disturb your lord's rest, don't blame me for being rude."

Yu Fu didn't care so much, he pressed his foot between the cracks in the door, the guard closed the door forcefully, clamped his foot, the pain made him pale, he refused to let go, forced his way in, hurriedly said to the The guard said, "Wait a minute, my name is Yufu, please inform your lord, I really have something urgent to see."

"Yufu?" The guard stopped when he heard his name, looked him up and down, and asked, "You are Yufu, that miracle doctor on the mountain?"

Yu Fu nodded hastily, "It's me, the person you took away from my courtyard is my school boy."

The guard's attitude immediately became much more friendly. He let go of his hand, opened the door to let him in, and said to him, "Then come with me."

"Thank you." Yu Fu heaved a sigh of relief, and followed him into the mansion, looking around while walking, but he didn't see the figure of the book boy.

The guard seemed to see through what he was thinking, and said in a deep voice, "He's not here, don't look, just walk honestly, be careful what you don't see, your life will be in jeopardy."

Yu Fu looked back worriedly.
