Yu Qingwu said nothing, the nails hidden in the palms of his hands dug deeper, and his face became paler.
All the way back, Yu Qingwu was silent.
Yu Qingwu didn't speak, and Xie Jinyan didn't speak either.
Seeing that both of them were silent, Yan Qingqing did not dare to speak.
Along the way, apart from the sound of breathing, there was the sound of footsteps, and occasionally the chirping of birds could be heard.
As the sky became darker and darker, the way forward became increasingly unclear. Fortunately, the three of them finally reached the foot of the mountain before it completely darkened.
As soon as they walked out of the forest, they saw Hu Die and Ning Yu walking hurriedly, both holding lanterns in their hands.
"Second Senior Sister, where have you been?" Hu Die frowned. When he saw Yu Qingwu and the others appeared, his heart finally dropped. He stepped forward and grabbed Yu Qingwu's arm, and asked nervously, "Second Senior Sister, where are you?"
Senior sister, are you not injured?"
"How dare you run into the woods alone? You don't know that there are many wild animals in the mountains behind our college, especially wild wolves. Once night comes, they run out in groups. Fortunately, you didn't run into them.
, it would be terrible if this happens."
"It's okay, I just got lost. I took a side road that I have never walked before and heard the howl of wolves. Fortunately, Qingqing and Xie Jinyan arrived in time." Yu Qingwu waved his hands, trying to show a sense of relaxation on his solemn face, and replied with a forced smile.
Hu Die said, "By the way, Hu Die, how are you doing collecting herbs? Do you still want to go tomorrow?"
"Of course I want to go." After hearing that Yu Qingwu said nothing happened, Hu Die breathed a sigh of relief, but when it came to collecting herbs, she became very depressed and said dissatisfied, "This master is also strange, our master just doesn't have money to repair new buildings."
There is a dormitory, but there is also a lot of business in the master's sect. Not to mention the silk business, even the breeding industry is more profitable than collecting herbs every day. I don't know how the master thought, but he had to let us collect herbs.
"
"The mountain behind our college is indeed a holy land for growing herbal medicine, but we are picking it every day and we don't have to go on missions? If this continues, I don't know when I will be able to start teaching."
Hu Die kept complaining, but never noticed that the expressions of Yu Qingwu and Xie Jinyan had suddenly changed.
But soon, the two of them returned to their normal expressions.
Looking at each other with Yu Qingwu, Xie Jinyan put on a carefree and dandy smile and asked her, "Hu Die, look at you, you can't even endure this little hardship, and you still want to become a teacher? Why don't you go back to the Prince's Mansion with you?
Forget it, Gongtong, I promise, I will give you all the Gongtongs in the house, and I will never make it easier for others!"
"You..." Hu Die immediately became angry when Xie Jinyan made a joke.
She glared at him fiercely and complained to Yu Qingwu, "Second Senior Sister, look at him!"
"Isn't he just such a virtuous person? Why are you arguing with him? You see, I'm too lazy to get angry with him." Yu Qingwu smiled lightly, with a helpless look on his face as he had reconciled with Xie Jinyan, and continued to talk naturally.
Pulling it apart, he pulled Hu Die toward the teacher's door and asked her, "But Hu Die, I think you are right. Compared with those herbal medicines, the other businesses are clearly more profitable, so I bet a few more
The profit of the tripartite is higher than that of these medicinal materials. After all, it takes less than a month to dry these medicinal materials. The process is complicated and they have to be shipped out. Then they have to find a big buyer, and there is no way to go back and forth.
You may not be able to make money in half a year..." New
"Hey, what kind of medicine has Master asked you to pick these days? Are they all commonly used medicines in drug stores?"
Yu Qingwu asked questions one after another, and quickly brought the topic to the most important point.
Hu Die didn't feel anything strange at all, and just chatted with Yu Qingwu as usual, counting, "What are these Bletilla striata, dandelions, honeysuckle, moxa leaves, Imperata cognac, forsythia and so on..."
Mugwort, dandelion, honeysuckle?
Hearing the names of these medicines, Yu Qingwu's pupils trembled slightly, and the answer in his heart became more obvious.
She didn't know the functions of the other herbs, but moxa leaves were used to stop bleeding, while dandelion and honeysuckle were used to relieve pain and suppuration to prevent infection.
If she remembered correctly, South Vietnam was currently at war with the neighboring country of Li.
The losses on both sides were extremely heavy, especially in South Vietnam.
Due to the previous battle with the Zhou Kingdom, their vitality was severely damaged, and now they are at war with the Li Kingdom. It must be that both hemostatic drugs and medicinal materials for pain relief and suppuration are in extremely short supply.
So Master really has a relationship with Nanyue...
Thinking of this, Yu Qingwu's mood became more and more complicated. He still maintained a calm expression on his face, and sighed as if he felt sorry for Hu Die, "Hey, these medicines are commonly used medicines, and they are easy to sell. I think Master also wants to exercise.
You, I ask you to collect medicine every day. From now on, if you are injured when you go out, you will know how to heal yourself."
"Second Senior Sister, you will speak for Master." Seeing Yu Qingwu speaking for Xiao Rongqi, Hu Die was immediately dissatisfied.
Yu Qingwu patted her head and said with a smile, "Okay, it's getting late. Go back and rest early. You have to go up the mountain to collect herbs tomorrow, so you have to maintain good physical strength."
While they were talking, several people had already reached the fork in the road.
"Sister, is there anything unusual about Master asking us to collect medicine?" Yan Qingqing asked in a low voice as soon as the three of them separated from Hu Die and the others.
After returning all the way, in just one and a half hours, she became more and more aware of the seriousness of the matter.
He raised his eyes and looked at Yu Qingwu, then at Xie Jinyan, and finally lowered his voice and said, "Second Senior Sister, Seventh Senior Brother, these honeysuckle, dandelion, and forsythia are all used to treat suppuration and relieve pain. Mugwort leaves, Bletilla striata, and Imperata Imperata root are used to stop bleeding.
.”
So, as she expected, the master was using these medicines to supply military supplies to South Vietnam?
Even Queen Zhou, who was the princess of South Vietnam, had never done such a thing. Why would Master do it?
The seeds of doubt gradually sprouted in his heart. Yu Qingwu nodded gently to Yan and responded to her warmly, "Well, I understand. You can go back and rest first. Get up early tomorrow. We have to get to Xinghua Village before noon.
"
"Okay." Yan nodded lightly. Seeing that Yu Qingwu and Xie Jinyan seemed to have something important to discuss, he turned around and walked towards her room without saying anything more.
Yu Qingwu and Xie Jinyan also quickly returned to the room.
All the way back to the room, both of them looked solemn.
Under the dim light, the two looked at each other, but neither spoke.
After a long time, Xie Jinyan spoke first, but unexpectedly he did not talk about Xiao Rongqi's identity. Instead, he called Yu Qingwu warmly and said in a comforting tone, "Awu, even if Master treats you with kindness, you don't have to be sad.
There is no need to feel guilty for scaring Xiao Yumo crazy."
"After all, if that's the case, then the master wanted you to be his concubine and Xiao Yumo to be his concubine from the very beginning. When the time comes, you will fight to the death and stand in front to block the knife, but Xiao Yumo will just sit back and enjoy the results. He, he wants to
Let Xiao Yumo be prosperous and wealthy without suffering hardship, and also want her to be a prostitute, how can there be a good thing in the world that has both ends?"
