My queen does not compete for favor

Chapter 166

Wan Qixiao was taken to the lobby to meet the lucky man who narrowly escaped death.It is an elderly mother-in-law.

The old woman walked tremblingly in front of Wan Chengxiao on crutches, hunched over and subconsciously knelt down to salute when she saw someone above her.

Wan Chengxiao saw that she was so old, so skinny, and she was struggling to move. She didn't know where her conscience came from, and when she got hot, she stepped forward to stop her almost subconsciously: "Old man, sit down. "

The old lady obviously didn't expect such a high-ranking official to be so polite, which made her extremely reserved when she couldn't get used to it, and was foolishly sat down by Wan Chengxiao, not knowing what to do with her hands and feet.

Wan Qixiao cleared his throat and said: "Old man, don't be cautious. I invited you here just to find out what you did in those days when you worshiped the Bodhisattva on the top of the mountain. Don't be afraid, I just want to learn from it. Find a cure for this plague. So, we need your help."

"I... I didn't do anything... I just... worshiped the Bodhisattva... drank water, slept, and worshiped the Bodhisattva..." The old woman's wrinkled face was full of confusion.

Wan Chengxiao saw that she didn't look like she was lying, so he had to remind him as much as possible: "Besides, have you done other things on the top of the mountain? For example, have you eaten anything special, where did you drink the water? Have you done anything? Something different from the others?"

The gray-haired old lady thought for a long time, then shook her head: "I don't really remember... I just worship Bodhisattva, sincerely worship Bodhisattva... I have been believing in Bodhisattva for decades, and finally God has eyes. Bodhisattva bless me..."

Wan Chengxiao couldn't figure out why, so he had to change the soup and continue to ask: "Old man, think about it carefully, have you ever eaten or drank anything different from others before and after going to the top of the mountain?"

The old woman thought for a while, but still shook her head: "In the disaster year...everything is flooded, we can't even eat a piece of tree bark, what else can we eat... Eh? The officials asked about water peanuts... ..."

"Water peanuts?" Wan Qixiao was stunned for a moment, "Peanuts still grow in the water?"

The old woman grinned with her toothless mouth: "What are you talking about... These water peanuts are aquatic plants that usually grow on the surface of stagnant water, and they are usually used as fodder for donkeys and horses. ...so I snatched them up and shared them...My son was a big cow and grabbed a few, and I drank half a bowl of peanut soup before I left..."

Wan Qixiao was overjoyed.Could it be this?

At this moment, several other survivors who escaped from death were also brought by Ning Shuoyun, and just hearing what the old woman said, their eyes lit up, and they rushed to say: "Coincidentally, I also Eat some water peanuts!"

"Me too!"

"My daughter-in-law was afraid of starvation on the mountain, so I secretly sent two bowls of water, peanut porridge and soup..."

Could it be... Wan Qixiao and Ning Shuoyun exchanged a look in surprise.

Ning Shuoyun asked these people to take them down to rest, and he immediately sent a pot of boiled peanuts.

The two of them carried the cauldron in a tacit understanding and ran up the mountain.

When they reached the top of the mountain, they distributed the peanut soup one by one, and watched them drink it with a bowl in their hands. Wan Chengxiao and Ning Shuoyun didn't say much, so they packed up their things and went back.

After holding back his temper and waiting for a few days, Wan Qixiao felt like his days were like years.Aunt Qingci was sent by Wan Qixiao a few days ago to take all the guards in Kyoto to the disaster relief in several hard-hit counties below. Seeing the beginning but not the end, only in the middle of the night when the dream came back at midnight, it seemed that he would always see this guy squatting on the bed and smiling at her...

On the fifth day, Ning Shuoyun brought a good news and a bad news.

The good news is that the water peanuts really worked, and nine people got better all of a sudden.The bad news is that the water peanuts are not completely effective. There are more than 40 people in five or six temples, and the others show no signs of improvement.

"Could it be that there are other concurrent conditions?" Wan Chengxiao could only make such an inference.It is likely that the water peanut is just a blind ingredient in the antidote.And these nine were lucky enough to get the other ingredients.

Ning Shuoyun nodded seriously and said, "Another condition is to worship the Bodhisattva seriously. If you take the antidote, you also need to be blessed by the Bodhisattva, so you can come back from a desperate situation."

Wan Chengxiao shook his hand and almost hit him with the teacup in his hand.

Throwing down the teacup, Wan Chengxiao went to find the sixteen survivors and gathered them together for discussion.But this time there was obviously no progress. These people tried their best and only came to one conclusion: they drank water and peanut soup, and then worshiped the Bodhisattva wholeheartedly.

Wan Qixiao almost ran away.Bye bye, bye, obsessed with obsession, hopeless!

Wan Qixiao simply went to the temple on the top of the mountain to check again.Anyway, I believe the answer must be in the temple.

The temple on the top of the mountain kept burning the dying and dead patients, and quickly built new temples in the burned places. At the place burned last time, a new simple temple has already stood in place.

About nine recovering people at once stimulated these people who were waiting to die. In five or six temples, cigarettes flourished, and the top of the mountain was almost entangled in cigarettes.

As soon as Wan Qixiao went up the mountain, he saw a man with a fever going down the mountain happily under the leadership of the yamen servant.That is to say, the rest of the healing ingredients must come from some link here.

Wan Qixiao first found the water source.The water that the patients drink here is picked up from the foot of the mountain by the officials of the yamen. Wan Qixiao checked it and found that the water is normal, nothing special.As for food, they didn't have it at all before. Occasionally eating two pieces of bark was considered a big meal. Now that Wan Qixiao's relief supplies are available, he can finally drink millet porridge from time to time.Obviously, it won't be in terms of food either.

Well, eighty percent of them are in the temple.

Wan Qixiao was about to go in, but was stopped by the yamen servant. "My lord, you can't go in!"

"Why?" Wan Qixiao was displeased.Under the cloak, she stared at them coldly.Even the palace guards didn't have the guts to stop her easily, these government servants are quite courageous.

"My lord, there are critically ill patients inside, and the air is not circulating. Once you go in, you are very likely to be infected! The closest relative safe distance is here. After we go back, we have to take a bath every day and smoke vinegar every night." It is more likely that nothing will happen, but just like this, there are still several brothers who... went in." The voice behind the yamen servant was very soft, and his eyes were slightly red.

Wan Qixiao was a little startled, but he didn't expect that it was kind of people to stop her.She was a little embarrassed, coughed slightly, and said in a slow voice: "It's okay, my lord was ordered by the emperor to provide disaster relief, and naturally I have the blessing of the dragon spirit from heaven, so everything will be fine."
