The visitor ran to the school out of breath and quickly explained the matter, "The government forces are forcing everyone to hand over the magic medicine, otherwise they will chop off the heads of the mayor and his family. If they haven't, they will continue to chop off our heads!"
Is it the mayor's uncle who is very kind to me and sends him to school? !
Lemongrass was stunned.
"How dare you do this?!" Master Cheng was angry, "I'll go and reason with him." After saying that, he threw down the book and walked out angrily.
The visitor may have thought Master Cheng was more useful than Lemongrass, so he quickly followed Master Cheng out.
Lemongrass thought for a while, put down the pen, and walked out.
The other students in the school ran out in a hurry. Only Xin Mao did not dare to join in the fun and followed Xiang Maozi step by step, "Sister, where are you going?"
Lemongrass said, "Go back to the house and get your things."
Xin Mao asked, "What are you taking?"
Lemongrass didn't answer him. She almost trotted all the way back to the inn. At the foot of the bed in the lower room where they stayed, there was a large, inconspicuous jar, almost filled with a jar of water.
Xiangmaozi returned to the inn, skillfully found a rope, put it on the jar and tied it up, then carried it on a pole and walked to the ancestral hall.
When Xiangmaozi walked back to the ancestral hall, he heard Master Cheng rebuking Boss Huang loudly and righteously, "Given by the immortal, those who are destined can get it. How can you dare to take something by force, without fear of the immortal's reproach?" "
Mr. Huang smiled but said, "Mr. Cheng, why are you so loud! What's the matter, this immortal is raised by your family?! Just say it?"
Mr. Cheng was so embarrassed that he was speechless.
Mr. Huang suddenly changed his face and shouted, "Is it time yet?! Drag out one of them and let them see the blood, otherwise they will think it is a man playing with them!"
"Yes!" The soldiers behind said loudly, and with a grin, they dragged a person out from behind. Naturally, the mayor's family was not willing to accept it, and tried their best to intercept him, but only got a rough elbow, kick, and stick beating!
Suddenly there were cries everywhere.
The expressions of the citizens of Huangshi Town also changed drastically.
Knowing that the government soldiers were serious about it now, they would attack the mayor and his family first. If they couldn't get the magic medicine as they wished, the whole town might not be able to escape from the other side's poisonous hands.
Master Cheng shouted loudly, "How dare you! You massacre civilians for no reason, aren't you afraid of Wang Fa Tiandao?!"
Mr. Huang smiled ferociously, "Wang's law?! Heaven's law?!"
"How can Wang Fa control it?! Your Huangshi town has been sealed off because of the epidemic, and the whole town has died. What does Wang Fa have to do with it?! As for the way of heaven, haha, if God is really wise, how could he cause such a big epidemic? ? And it's right here with us! In Huangshi Town!"
Everyone was speechless at his question, and Master Cheng could only be so angry that his hands and mouth shook, unable to speak.
"The way of heaven is natural, and the way of heaven is that immortals are destined to me!" A crisp girl's voice shouted from behind the crowd.
"Who is it?" Mr. Huangba called.
The crowd parted like running water, and Lemongrass's small figure appeared on the periphery of the crowd.
With firm eyes, she walked towards Mr. Huang step by step.
"Are you a little girl talking nonsense behind you?" Huang Anshi squinted his eyes and saw that this was a girl wearing school clothes. She was not tall and had dark skin.
Xiangmaozi took off the courage from his shoulders with one shoulder, and stood up more than fifty steps with the yellow handle, "I didn't lie. The opportunity of the immortal was given to me, and it has nothing to do with your city."
Huang Anshi sneered, "You know what the hell, our Fucheng Tongfutai personally raised the red ticket to summon the immortal order to ask for it."
Lemongrass gently picked up one side of the jar with one hand, tilting it slightly, and then said, "No!"
Huang Anshi laughed angrily at this stubborn little girl, "According to what you said, Master Futai lied, or did I lie?"
"I don't know whether Mr. Futai will burn the red ticket or not. But the immortal I met who gave us the elixir was definitely not begged by Mr. Futai." Xiangmaozi said, "Because the immortal indeed said it himself, let me The person who went back to take the medicine to save—Huang! Shi! Zhen! people!"
"Have you met an immortal?" Huang Anshi frowned and grasped the key point keenly.
Lemongrass said, "Yes! I met it. But there are three things you don't know!"
This kind of rhetoric made Huang Anshi more and more interested, "What three things?"
"The first thing, the immortal actually gave me two things. The first was a pill that melts in water. It was called Qingxin Pill, which was the fairy water that was later distributed to everyone. The second thing, the immortal also gave me A talisman, called a purification talisman. It is about two fingers long and three inches long. Let me bury it in the middle of the busiest street in Huangshi Town. It can protect Huangshi Town from evil things for ten years!" Xiang Maozi said.
As soon as she finished speaking, there was a "boom" and a lot of noise broke out around her.
Regarding the origin of the fairy water, the mayor did not hide her achievements in order to make Lemongrass famous, so most of the townspeople knew about it. But regarding the Purification Talisman, not even the mayor knew about it, let alone anyone else. This is the first time for everyone to hear it.
Huang Anshi asked loudly, "Where's the purification talisman?"
Xiangmaozi said, "I was buried in the middle of the road into the town! As long as the talisman is unfolded gently, it can stand on the ground, and then it will burrow underground very quickly. It disappeared all of a sudden, and later I was still there After digging for a long time, I couldn't find any trace of it!"
Huang Anshi was so angry that he wanted to slap his thigh. You damn girl, why are you so ignorant? If you don't keep this kind of thing and sell it in the future, you can donate it to the prince. How can you just bury it in the town? ? ! What can this broken town give you? !
"Come here, take this little girl and search the place where the talisman is buried to see if you can find the purification talisman. Even if you dig ten feet into the ground, I will have to search for it!" Huang Anshi shouted.
The military man behind responded with a bang.
"Wait a minute, I have the third thing I haven't said yet." Xiangmaozi screamed. The girl's voice was always high and harsh, but it was actually able to come out clearly under such circumstances.
The buzz of everyone's discussion finally subsided, and everyone wanted to hear what the third item was.
"Say!" Huang Anshi was also like this for a moment.
"The third thing is that the immortal said that he is destined to me. Do you know who this immortal is who gave me the elixir and talisman?"
"who is it?"
"It's the immortal from Kunlun, the immortal Mingjun from Kunlun!" Xiang Maozi said loudly.
Everyone in Huangshi Town knew that Kunlun was the sect of all immortals, let alone Huang Anshi. He blushed and said, "You lied!"
Xiangmaozi said, "I didn't lie. I met the Immortal Mingjun in the Dongpo Woodland outside the town. He gently patted my head and said that he was destined to me. He also gave me these things and told me I will come back to see me in three months when he finds out about this change."
Huang Anshi sneered, "Will the immortal come back to see you?"
Lemongrass's last game was made up, but the previous ones were real. So she spoke eloquently about what happened that night from beginning to end.
She has an excellent memory, starting from walking through the courtyard where Sun Fuhu's soul was suspended, to the chat between the two soldiers who climbed the tree wall, to killing the man-eating rat, and the Immortal Ming Jun asked her why she didn't escape, and I praised her for having a Kunlun temperament... She spoke in twists and turns, her articulation was clear and the plot was compact, and for a while she even imitated everyone's tone of voice.
Everyone was stunned for a moment. Huang Anshi was already convinced at this time, but he had always been a cautious person, so he immediately turned back to look at the soldier behind him.
Two people emerged from the group of soldiers behind him, bowed and replied, "Boss, as this girl said, it should be my two brothers who were patrolling the woods outside the town that night. There are no others. Dare I say it, but what the two of us talked about that day was exactly the same!"
Huang Anshi snorted, "Idiot, you don't know how to let people crawl out from above your head. I'll fight you ten times with military sticks when I get back. Let's write it down for now!"
The two soldiers should retreat.
At this time, Huang Anshi believed 70% of what Xiangmaozi said.
But he was very confused. If it was true as this girl said, then the elixir in Huangshi Town really had nothing to do with Lord Fu. But a gentleman is not guilty, but he is guilty of carrying a jade.
Mr. Fujun's only son is still waiting for the elixir to save his life. Regardless of whether the elixir in Huangshi Town has anything to do with Mr. Fu, he must get it today, otherwise he may be waiting for more than just prison.
But at this time, Xiangmaozi spoke again, "It's not that easy for you to cover the sky with one hand. All the merchants have left in the past few days, and the woodcutter and hunters have also come in and out. As long as you leave a trace of clues, you can't escape the immortal." Dharma Eye. How will you explain it to the immortal then?!"
This is precisely the reason why Huang Anshi has not taken action.
At that time, he was not afraid of what the immortal would do, but he felt that once this kind of news was leaked, the aloof Lord Fu would be fine, but he, a little boss, would be pushed out of the tank.
Mr. Huang was caught in a dilemma and didn't know what to do for a while.
At this time, he heard the little girl say, "Here is the last elixir, there is only so much left. If you swear not to harm anyone in Huangshi Town, I will give it to you. Otherwise, I would rather knock it over!" "
It turned out to be a turn of events!
Huang Anshi was overjoyed. He had long seen the girl tilting a big wine jar, not even relaxing when speaking, so he knew there must be something inside. He never expected that it was a fairy medicine!
The jar is not big, but there are always twenty or thirty bowls of wine in it! At least I can save the prince, not to mention it!
So Huang Anshi agreed repeatedly, "I promise you! I promise you! I have no grudges against Huangshi Town. This is why the Master forced me to come, so I have to come. As long as you give me the elixir, I will Of course, the corps commander will not cause trouble for you!"
Xiangmaozi didn't believe him, she insisted, "Swear an oath!"
There are gods and immortals in this world. To the immortals, an oath represents a promise. Once the oath is broken, it will be extremely detrimental to the practice. Ordinary mortals, on the other hand, will not dare to violate their oaths easily because of the existence of immortals, lest they be overheard by heaven and repaid in this life.
Huang Anshi also knew that the person he offended in Huangshi Town was miserable, so he could only raise his hand and swear, "The emperor and heaven are above, and the gods can hear it. I, Huang Anshi, swear here that if this woman..." He paused for a moment.
"Lemongrass!" Lemongrass said loudly.
What kind of reputation is this? Huang Anshi cursed, but he didn't stop talking, "I, Huang Anshi, swear here, if this female lemongrass gives me the jar and the magic medicine, I will immediately lead my troops and retreat, and I will never harm anyone in Huangshi Town." One person. If anyone violates the oath, I will be gutted and die by sword!"
This is a very heavy oath.
Lemongrass nodded after hearing this, then gently straightened the jar and put it down, then stepped aside. When she did this action, Huang Anshi's heart kept hanging, fearing that something might happen to him. It wasn't until the jar was placed firmly on the open ground that he finally put his heart back into his stomach.
Huang Anshi rushed to the jar in three steps and immediately opened the cork on the wine jar and looked inside, only to see that there was almost a jar full of magic medicine inside. He was satisfied with this quantity.
He lowered his head and looked back and forth, and even leaned over to sniff around, but he didn't see any clues. "Are you really saying this is a magic medicine? Didn't you scoop up a jar of well water to scare me?!"
Seeing that he was suspicious, Xiangmaozi said loudly, "This is exactly the same as what we drink. If it weren't, I would be gutted and die of a sword!"
What she said made Huang Anshi feel relieved.
Then he heard Master Cheng say, "I have drunk that magical medicine you mentioned. It is colorless, tasteless and sweet in the mouth, but it can cure diseases!"
Although Huang Anshi looked down upon Master Cheng's pedantry, he knew that he never told lies. At this moment, he was anxious to go back and recover his life, and hurriedly took the soldiers back. He and his son held the jar, fearing that something might go wrong.
It's not that Huang Anshi didn't expect to take Citronella back with him, but this little girl is difficult to deal with. Secondly, she is related to the immortal. Thirdly, she is a great benefactor of Huangshi Town. I am afraid that if she is taken away by force, there will be more troubles. It's more important to go back and save people first.
So Huang Anshi came with his soldiers, whooping and galloping out as if he had just arrived.
The people in Huangshi Town breathed a sigh of relief when they saw that Huang Anshi had kept his promise and led his people to evacuate.
The mayor held Xiangmaozi's hand and said with tears, "Good boy, last time you saved our entire town in Huangshi Town, and this time you saved our family again. From now on, you will be our biological daughter in Huangshi Town!" "
Xiangmaozi didn't expect so much for saving people, but now that she was so grateful to the mayor, she wished she could crawl into the ground in embarrassment and waved her hands repeatedly.
"Why do you still have a jar of elixir?!" Master Cheng suddenly interrupted and looked at her coldly.
"Hey, Old Cheng, are you being too aggressive again?" The mayor tried to stop Master Cheng.
But Master Cheng persisted in staring at Xiangmaozi, waiting to see her answer.
Xiang Mao Zi thought for a while and then told the truth, "My family is poor. If I find any delicious fruit or hunt rabbits outside, if I bring them back in one breath, my stepmother will eat them all for my younger brother. But If I take out half and keep half, when dad comes back, the whole family can have a bite."
"The elixir is a good life-saving thing. I thought that if someone hid it and refused to share it with the townspeople, many people would die innocently. This is not in line with the immortal's idea of helping everyone. I kept it. A little less than half, I thought in case it's not enough or it's been hidden, I still have some stock here that I can distribute to everyone."
Master Cheng stared closely at Xiangmaozi. The girl had a magnanimous expression and her eyes were clear and transparent. The big eyes reflected the color of the sky and water.
Master Cheng's face softened, he nodded and said, "You're fine." Then the old man shook his sleeves and walked back.
"Hey, this old Cheng. It's true!" The mayor shook his head helplessly.
"Girl, will you stay at the mayor's uncle's house from now on?" the mayor asked softly again.
"Thank you, uncle, but I still don't want it. I heard that your home has suffered a lot of damage, so go back and clean it up. It's good for me to live in Sixian Building. I'm a handyman, and shopkeeper Chen treats me very well." "Xiangmaozi doesn't want to cause trouble to others. In Sixian Building, she has hands and feet and can still work. But when she goes to the mayor's house, what can she do? !
Seeing that she was unwilling, the mayor didn't force it, "Okay, you can live in Sixian Building for now. When the mayor's uncle's house is cleaned up, he will take you over to play."
Seeing that the matter was resolved, everyone onlookers wiped away the cold sweat they had just broken out.
Some of them dispersed, while others were still whispering and gossiping about immortals and purification talismans.
At this moment, a group of ragged people suddenly walked in along the road. Their descriptions were miserable and their clothes were in rags, almost like fleeing beggars.
Moreover, his body was very weak and he walked very slowly.
Everyone was wondering where these refugees came from when they heard a boy crying loudly, "Dad! Mom!"
He ran quickly into the crowd.
Xiangmaozi let out a soft "Ah", and then she also saw the two people on the outermost side of the crowd, both holding wooden sticks and supporting each other as they walked in.
But isn't it Xin Wang and his stepmother? !
She also shouted, "Daddy!" and quickly rushed towards the crowd.
