Chapter 82
Hutou Village.
Ever since Wei Zhen's method of removing miasma became public, villagers began to form groups and go to the swamp forest.
At first, they did not dare to go too deep, but they gained a lot.
There are prey such as sheep or spores, and some valuable herbs such as ginseng.
Facts have proved that Wei Zhen’s method still works.
As a result, more and more people, calling friends or relatives, headed to the swamp.
Hutou Village became more and more lively because of this.
There are gains, but of course there are also injuries. There are especially many beasts in the swamp.
But so far, no one has died because no one dares to go too deep into the mountains.
After three days of excitement, a group of people came from Pan Village Chief’s house.
It was a regular army. Everyone knew at a glance that it was the Shen family from Fucheng.
The Shen family attaches great importance to the swampland. This time, not only Shen Baijin came, but Shen Nianfeng, the eldest son of the Shen family, also came.
Shen Baijin is Shen Wanying's fifth brother and a concubine.
That is, the person who took Pan Tiesheng, the village chief's sister, as his fifth concubine.
In addition, Shen Wanying's youngest legitimate daughter, Shen Xinyi, is here, which is very surprising.
Two hundred of the most courageous vanguard guards.
A group of people entered the village in great force, immediately letting everyone in Hutou Village know.
But almost no one beat them, firstly because they were afraid, and secondly because they were disgusted.
No matter how majestic the army is, what's the use? They don't regard the previous villagers in the county as human beings, and they don't defend the village against foreign enemies. Instead, they often bully and humiliate them.
Anyway, it’s just not welcome.
Shen Jiajun came to Hutou Village after resting in the county town. It was noon when he arrived.
They did not delay, and under the leadership of the village chief, they went straight to the swamp forest.
Of course, Shen Xinyi, a delicate girl, was left in Hutou Village, and twenty guards were left to protect her, and they all stayed at the village chief's house.
It is said that it is renting, but in fact it is almost the same as moving.
Shen Xinyi brought a lot of daily necessities and decorated almost the best room in the Pan family.
He even brought a chef to cook the food himself, and there were all kinds of delicacies from the mountains and seas. The smell of the rice made the children of the village chief's family hungry.
Of course, in the eyes of the eldest lady, untouchables are not worthy of eating her food, even if she can't finish it and throw it away.
However, no one in the Pan family dared to come in front of the noble and beat him up.
The Pan family heard from their sister-in-law that the eldest lady was impure, unruly, willful, ruthless, disrespectful of human life, and full of misdeeds.
Not only the people of the Pan family, but also the people of Hutou Village, every household has closed its doors, except for the adults who need to go out to work.
Therefore, after Shen Xinyi ate and drank enough, she took another nap. After getting up, she went for a walk to the exile village in search of fun.
As a result, I found loneliness.
It was so boring and dusty that she had no choice but to return to Pan's house early.
In the evening, the team that entered the mountain did not come back. Shen Xinyi was not worried and went to bed early after eating well.
On the second day, she couldn't help but come to the foot of the mountain with her servants and guards, euphemistically called to meet her brother.
In fact, she really wanted to go into the swamp forest and personally find one or two medicinal plants to give to her father, as long as he was happy.
Maybe the Yueguang brocade that was waiting for tribute would be left to her, which she had been begging for a long time.
Of course, the scorching sun and the mountains full of thorns blocked her enthusiasm.
So I was melancholy at the corner of the mountain.
At this moment, I suddenly saw a peasant girl carrying a backpack walking out of the diagonal corner.
That girl has a delicate appearance, a good figure, and a quiet and elegant face. She is the type of woman Shen Xinyi hates the most!
"Hey! That mud-legged guy, come here!" Shen Xinyi squinted and played with the riding crop in her hand carelessly.
The contemptuous attitude is like looking at a cheap thing.
Li Hongzhi pretended to be surprised, and then walked over with a calm face.
"Li Hongzhi, a civilian girl, comes to see the eldest lady. Why did the eldest lady call me here?"
Neither humble nor arrogant, she pretends to be cool, but in fact she is so jealous that she is crazy in her heart!
He is just a fool who was reincarnated for a while. He looks ordinary, but he is dressed in jewels. Each piece is a rare and precious treasure.
Suddenly, Shen Xinyi whipped out the whip. If Li Hongzhi hadn't been able to dodge quickly, she would have definitely suffered this time.
"Who are you? You don't kneel down when you see me, how dare you call yourself me?"
Come on! Hold her down, I'm going to slap her face."
Li Hongzhi's heart skipped a beat and she quickly said: "Miss, wait a moment.
Do you want to wait for your family at this time? To be honest, there are many dangers in this swamp forest. Once you step into the depths, you will definitely escape death.
And they may not have received anything, because all the villagers know that the best medicinal materials have been picked by the first person."
"What did you say?!" Sure enough, Shen Xinyi's attention was diverted by her.
"Didn't the village chief's family tell you? The first person to go to the depths of the swamp was the girl from the Wei family.
She brought back thousands of kilograms of thousand-year-old pythons and several bags of ginseng and Ganoderma lucidum.
No matter how big the swamp forest is, it can't be filled with precious medicines, right?"
The implication is that the precious medicine has already been discovered by others, and no matter how hard you Shen family tries, it will be in vain.
Of course, Li Hongzhi exaggerated. Who knows whether Wei Zhen's bags contained medicine or pigweed.
But later everyone who went into the mountain picked ginseng, so Wei Zhen must have gained even more, right?
Diverting trouble to the east, killing two birds with one stone! Li Hongzhi felt proud.
"Are you serious? Who has the precious medicine? Take me there!" Ha, it took no effort to get it, and Shen Xinyi was very excited.
"This is the house with the largest camphor tree in the village. If I take you there, they will definitely not let me go..."
Li Hongzhi was about to cry, so pitiful.
