Farming with medicine

Chapter 108 The Big Tree Attracts the Wind
Cardamom's heart skipped a beat, could someone really be making trouble?
"The remaining medicinal herbs are not very expensive, but they are poisonous. If you eat them wrong, you will be insane."

What Qi Tengmiao didn't seem to worry about was that someone was stealing the herbal medicine, but just let Cardamom go home first, and he went to have a look.

Last time he sent her home, he disappeared without a trace, this time she will follow.

There are a lot of questions I want to ask him, and there are still a few days before the Qixi Festival.
"I'll go with you, don't be afraid of danger, you can protect me," said Cardamom, although he didn't see anyone passing in the dark, but Qi Tengmiao said that there was only one person, and it should be easy to deal with.

Unable to hold back the cardamom, Qi Tengmiao could only take the little girl to touch it together. Who knew that before he got close to the foot of the mountain, a torch was lit there.

In the firelight, a familiar face was reflected in Cardamom's pupils.

It turned out to be the person who came to pull herbs during the day, she remembered that this person was a specially hired driver of Baiweitang, named Tang Zhengchu, the raw skin and tender meat were more delicate than a girl's skin, and he did not look like a driver at all. Blowing the traces of the sun, when I first met, Dougao didn’t believe that this person was a driver hired by Baekweitang. After asking, I found out that he was a drug dealer who was in charge of the accounts. Later, after the drug store was dominated by the market, he was coaxed After coming out, he took refuge in Boss Zhang of Baekweitang.

"I recognize this man," Dou Kou pulled La Qi Teng Miao's sleeve and said, "let him go."

Qi Tengmiao still obeyed the words of cardamom as always, and the two hid behind a big tree that needed three people to hug each other, poking their heads to watch every move over there.

"This man is sneaky. He must have done nothing good. Why did you let him go?" Although Qi Tengmiao obediently did not catch the man, seeing that Dou Ko was still looking at the man calmly, he felt suspicious.

Doing bad things with torches, either because of low IQ, thinking that others will not find out, or because of brazenness, waiting for someone to find out, being able to manage accounts in a medicine store, being kicked out and working as a driver in Baekweitang, Being able to bend and stretch, how could it be a stupid person, it can only be the latter, this person deliberately exposed himself, just waiting for others to find out that he is here.

But this person still made a mistake in his calculations. The villagers near this mountain did not dare to get close to profanity easily. Even the young lovers mostly go to the creek instead of at the foot of this ominous mountain. I went around the torch several times, back and forth, left and right, but no one came.

Tang Zhengchu had always relied on his pen and mouth for food, and rarely did physical work like this, so he was exhausted during the day, and he walked hundreds of steps up and down the mountain without seeing anyone coming. When he was thinking about something, suddenly The sound of someone arguing was heard.

He quickly held up the torch and followed the sound.

Thanks to the torch, Cardamom could see clearly that it was a man and a woman in the village fighting together.

The woman was the flour milling aunt who found Cao Bailan today, and the one who was fighting with her was Cao Bailan's neighbor. According to my mother, he was the one who tried to persuade the fight last night, but Cao Bailan still didn't miss a fight.

The two quarreled for a tael of silver, neither of them would give in. At first they were afraid of being heard, but then they quarreled, and they didn't realize that anyone went to the foot of the mountain at all, and neither Dou Kou nor Qi Tengmiao noticed anyone there. .

Cardamom pursed her lips and looked at Qi Tengmiao with a smile, "Then there are two more."

"Just looking at you, I didn't notice there were two people over there," Qi Tengmiao gave a dry laugh twice.

During this uproar, Tang Zhengchu found a witness, and refused to leave without saying anything, except to be a peacemaker between the two who got involved in the fight.

Cao Bailan ran out madly in the middle of the night, and was dragged by this person to the firewood hut in the back mountain. Cao Bailan gave in half-heartedly, but was discovered by the flour milling aunt, who asked him for a tael of silver to seal it up, but this person refused to give.

The two bargained, asking for one or two and giving ten copper coins at the same time. The big difference, not including the aunt, found this place where no one would come to bargain.

"Two, two, if you have anything, you might as well tell me, and I will give you an opinion, what do you think?"

The two of them saw the smile on this man's handsome face, and told him to get out at the same time. At night, such a white and clean Chinese character holding a torch must be here for a tryst. It looked like a little boy.

"Who are you, why are you sneaking around here at night?" Tang Zhengchu's face was put in the crowd of men, and it was there to sow hatred, especially for those who have low self-esteem because of their appearance, they are even more despised Because of this, his tone was not kind, and as soon as he rolled up his sleeves, he planned to beat up Tang Zhengchu.

Tang Zhengchu hastily called to stop, "A gentleman does not move his words, I don't mean anything malicious, I just came to the foot of the mountain to check on something, I don't want to disturb you two, I'm really sorry."

At the foot of the mountain is the place where Zhang Anping's family piled herbs. The whole village knows that Zhang Anping is capable of selling pigweed at sky-high prices, especially when the aunt heard that it was related to Zhang Anping's family, she asked about asking for money, " Why did you come to the foot of the mountain to check? Then pile up some pig grass and pig food, what's the use of that?"

When Tang Zhengchu saw this, he was naturally interested, and his heart was already filled with joy, "To be honest, the pigweed that my aunt said is actually a herbal medicine, and its value will increase according to its rarity. Although these are not considered to be high-quality herbs, they are also common Used as medicine, hogweed really degrades their value."

When the two heard this, their eyes lit up, and it seemed that it was really a valuable thing.

"Then what are you doing here?"

Tang Zhengchu coughed a few times, knowing that there was no one around Ye Hei Feng Gao, but he still looked around and said in a low voice, "This batch of medicine is poisonous, so the shopkeeper ordered me to come and check it out."

As soon as they heard that it was poisonous, the two immediately jumped back a few steps, staring at Tang Zhengchu and asked, "It can be used as medicine if it is poisonous, isn't it harmful?"

"To be honest, this batch of medicine was intentionally poisoned by someone, so the toxicity was aggravated after being concocted. This is a murderous matter, so I didn't dare to say it, so I waited until night to check."

Qi Tengmiao listened for a while, then asked Cardamom, who was asleep with her eyes closed, "Why don't you go and have a look?"

Cardamom slowly opened her clear eyes, her long and curly eyelashes fluttered a few times, and she shook her head lightly, "That's not the problem, this person is just trying to create public opinion in the city, waiting for my The good show is tomorrow."

She can't just sit still, this Tang Zhengchu's intention is just to let people find him here, and then casually tell the people who come here, it is estimated that officials will come to the village tomorrow to arrest people, and the person Tang Zhengchu met is her The most favorable witnesses to the poisoning of medicinal materials.

"It seems that someone is going to make trouble for my future wife, so don't blame me for being rude," Qi Tengmiao drew his sword and was about to rush over, but was pulled back by Cardamom.

"You go out now, isn't it obvious that it's killing people to silence the public? What's more, do you think he will come here alone? There must be someone outside the village to pick him up. If he doesn't leave the village when the time comes, someone will definitely come here to investigate. If he is dead, he will not be able to take off his poisoned hat, wait a minute, it is useless to kill him, we must find a way to silence his framing scene tomorrow."

The big tree attracts the wind, and the big leaves attract insects. She is at most a sapling now, but the wind and insects that she attracts probably have a lot to do with it.
