Master Emperor, your wife is too poisonous

Chapter 17 Nothing Worth It

The quickness of Ye Lingxi's sudden agreement made the village chief stunned for a moment, and he was also secretly relieved when he came back to his senses.

"Okay, then we're done."

"There is no evidence for what you say." Ye Lingxi asked Mama Li to take a pen and ink, wrote down the note on the spot and handed it to the village chief, "You should leave a fingerprint, I will take a trip to the mountains with all my heart and soul, it's really a big deal If it’s done, I’ll lose a lot if you go back on your word.”

"Then how could it be?" The village head said with a dry smile, "But if you are really worried, Ms. Ye, then I will leave a written proof for you."

The village head took the pen handed over by Ye Lingxi, signed his name and pressed his fingerprint on the paper.

He knew that Ye Lingxi didn't want to see their father and son, and was about to leave after finishing business, but Ye Lingxi stopped them, "Village chief, wait a moment."

"You also said before that if I have any needs after entering the mountain, I can just ask you."

Ye Lingxi was not polite to the village chief at all, and said directly: "I do have some things that need to be done. There are none in the village. I have to go to the city. It's getting late. If I walk, I'm afraid tonight. They can’t make it back.”

"One thing doesn't bother the two masters, village chief, can you lend me the horse in your family?"

Hearing Ye Lingxi's previous words, the village head thought she was trying to extort something from him again, and his face was a little ugly.

But when she finally heard that she just borrowed a horse, he secretly breathed a sigh of relief, with a smile on his face, "It's easy to say, Miss Ye, whenever you want to use a horse, just come to my house to get it."

"Then I would like to thank the village chief." Ye Lingxi and the village chief said a few polite words, and asked Mama Li to send the village chief and his son out of the house.

When Mama Li came back, she saw Ye Lingxi flipping through the package sent by the village chief, carefully checking the contents.

She couldn't figure out what Ye Lingxi meant, so she walked up to Ye Lingxi and lowered her voice, "Miss, it's really dangerous to go into the mountains at this time of year, and the village chief's family just doesn't want to take risks, so they would rather spend money on this matter." Push it on to you."

"And their purpose is obviously not just to find people. It is said that the frosting grass is a rare medicinal herb that is priceless and hard to find. Since the Zhang family has already set their sights on the frosting grass, then you have really picked it. It might be a hot potato in your hand..."

No matter how she thinks about it, Mother Li feels that Ye Lingxi's initiative to go up the mountain is tantamount to getting angry.

She can figure out the truth, how could Ye Lingxi not understand?
"I went into the mountain. If I really found someone and the Zhang family gave me money, then others said that the Zhang family was responsible for the villagers. If I didn't find anyone, the village head could explain to the villagers. Anyway, they are Please ask me to look for the money.”

"It only cost a hundred taels of silver, without any effort or risk, and I can earn a good reputation among the villagers. It seems that I have taken advantage of this deal, but in fact, the Zhang family is the one who is sure to make money."

Ye Lingxi took out a wide-mouthed clay bottle with a cork from the package, pulled out the cork, and put the mouth of the bottle to Mama Li's nose to let her smell it: "This is not water, but wine."

"The frostgrass only appears once in a hundred years, and it only has a survival period of one month. After the deadline, it will die directly. At that time, it will have no medicinal effect at all."

"If you want to harvest frostgrass and preserve its medicinal effect, you can only pick the roots of frostgrass at the moment when the sun rises every day, and then seal the whole frostgrass in a pottery filled with wine. in the jar."

"The village head specially sent me all the clay pots full of wine, which shows that he has been thinking about the frost grass for a long time."

Ye Lingxi put the cork back again, and said with a smile: "He said on the surface that he doesn't talk about the frost grass, but if I really picked the frost grass, he might try his best to get the frost grass back. Frostgrass got it."

"Mother Li, I understand your concerns, but things have come to this point, can I still withdraw?"

"It was I who offered to help Liu Yong's daughter-in-law find Liu Yong. I will not keep my word, so no matter whether the village chief gives me money or not, I must go to the mountain."

"Let's talk about the Frostgrass, I don't know its existence. Now that I know it, the duck that is on my mouth, let me just watch it and eat it? Is it possible?"

Mother Li was choked by her words for a long time, and after a pause, she couldn't help but sighed and said, "I just don't think you should be so impulsive, no matter how rare that frost grass is, it's not worth your risk." Big risk."

"The Frostgrass has the effect of washing the scriptures and cutting the marrow. Xiaobao's body has not been well-raised these years, and his poor physique will affect his entry into martial arts. If I can really pick the Frostgrass, it will improve Xiaobao's physique. , he can get twice the result with half the effort when he practices martial arts in the future."

Ye Lingxi smiled and said: "It's just going to the mountains to pick a herb, and in exchange for a better future for Xiaobao, there is nothing more valuable than this."
