The mountain roads are rugged and complex, the jungles are uniform, and there are common poisonous insects and miasma. Without adequate protective measures, outsiders who are new to the mountains will definitely not dare to enter the mountains.
Before Ye Zhenzhen came, the Yulin army searched along the mountains and forests. The roads in the mountains and forests are too complicated. Without the guidance of locals, it is easy to get lost. If you are bitten by poisonous insects, your life will be in danger, so the progress will be slow.
Very slowly.
The men who led the way have settled here for generations, and this mountain is a treasure for their livelihood. Although they cannot say that they know every place well, they are certainly familiar with it.
Everyone who entered the mountain, including Ye Zhenzhen, applied the secret medicine provided by the villagers. As expected, the insects no longer surrounded them. This made Ye Zhenzhen breathe a sigh of relief - it was indeed a secret medicine passed down from generation to generation.
Its ability to repel insects is unparalleled.
The man led the way, avoiding areas dense with poisonous insects and miasma, and finally came to a valley, then stopped and said: "People in our village all build wooden houses in the valley, but every family's wooden houses are scattered everywhere.
The location is very hidden, and everyone has a tacit understanding, so I don’t know the specific location of the Yang family cabin, so I need to look for it carefully.”
It is also understandable that Orion's house is equivalent to a lounge and a storage room. If you do not keep it confidential, your house may become someone else's warehouse.
Ye Zhenzhen translated the man's words. Zhu Mingyu listened and said: "Well, everyone should be tired after walking on the mountain road for so long. Let's rest here for a while. I'll send scouts to search everywhere.
Is there anything suspicious?"
The people present were all handsome men, and the mountain road was not a problem for them at all. Zhu Mingyu said this because he was taking care of Ye Zhenzhen's situation.
Ye Zhenzhen's physical fitness has been getting worse and worse recently, and she really can't hold on anymore. She nodded and accepted Zhu Mingyu's kindness, and while the scouts went to inquire about the news, she silently took out the dry food and started to eat it.
She must replenish her lost energy, otherwise she will become a burden to everyone later.
Ye Zhenzhen just finished eating the dry food and took a sip of water from her water bag. The scout she sent out came back: "General, there is a wooden house in front of you. It should have been built by hunters in the mountains. There is smoke rising from the house. It should be
There are people living there.”
Ye Zhenzhen suddenly became energetic, her fatigue disappeared, she put away her water bag and dry food, and spoke before General Zhu, "Quickly lead the way!"
The scout got the general's permission and led the way. Ye Zhenzhen couldn't wait to move forward. After twists and turns, she found a wooden house deep in the jungle.
There was a fence around the house, and the wood door, which was only half a man's height, was tightly locked. The scout shouted directly to the yard, "Is there anyone there? Our master and servants strayed into the depths of the mountain forest and accidentally discovered that there was a home here. Please ask the master."
Ka Fat is kind enough to let us use your place to rest for a while."
After a long time, a strong middle-aged man opened the door and walked out. He looked at Zhu Mingyu and others warily. He felt that these young and strong men were very dangerous, and asked warily: "This is deep in the mountains and forests.
It’s inaccessible, why did you come?”
It seems that they are not fully trusted.
At this time, the guide at the back of the crowd came forward and said with a warm smile: "Brother Yang Xiong, it's me. These people are the servants of the nobles in the city. Their master is sick. I heard that there is a century-old man in our mountain."
Ginseng, specially hired me as a guide to go into the mountains to find medicine. We happened to enter this place. We were all tired, so we wanted to find a place to rest. As you know, my house was just a narrow cave, so I had to take it with me.
They come here to try their luck, don't blame me for breaking the rules."
This was Ye Zhenzhen's excuse.
Cui Weizhen's whereabouts are unknown now, and it's unclear whether he actively concealed his identity or was controlled by others, so they didn't have a clear purpose when looking for someone, they just needed to find an excuse to find out.
Seeing that they were from the village, the man's eyes softened and he completely let down his guard. He opened the wood door and let them in, "It turns out to be Old Wu. I trust your character. Please come in quickly. We also have patients in bed at home.
Please don't make any noise."
Ye Zhenzhen's heart skipped a beat. Before she could ask further questions, she saw a pretty woman coming down from the second floor. She looked around at the strangers with a wary look on her face, "Dad, who are these people?"
Yang Xiong explained it again and said, "Ru'er, go prepare some wine and food. Daddy wants to entertain guests."
The girl Ru'er pouted reluctantly, but still obediently went to the kitchen and started working. Ye Zhenzhen apologized, "I'm really sorry for causing you trouble."
Yang Xiong shook his head repeatedly and said it was no trouble. Old Wu, the guide, received Ye Zhenzhen's instructions and quickly started to inquire about the news: "Brother Yang, how come there are patients in your family? We saw your daughter going to the city to get medicine before, and we thought it was you.
He was injured while hunting, and now it seems that there is another person. Counting the days, this person must have been ill for more than two months, why not send him to the city to see a doctor?"
Ye Zhenzhen held her breath and waited anxiously for the other party's answer.
Yang Xiong seemed a little embarrassed and said: "It's a long story at this time. We are all from the same village. I don't have to hide it from you, but..."
His voice paused, and his eyes fell on Ye Zhenzhen and others, as if he didn't believe them.
Ye Zhenzhen was extremely anxious, but she still pretended to have a nonchalant look on her face, and asked tentatively: "Can't we tell the identity of the patient? I heard that the imperial envoy Mr. Cui was missing, and the whole Qingyun Mansion was in an uproar. We, the masters, are all
I'm helping to find someone, but I wonder if the patient in Brother Yang is the missing Master Cui?"
Yang Xiong's face changed slightly, as if he had been exposed to some secret. His previously tight airs and aura suddenly dropped, revealing the panic and bewilderment of an honest man.
He hesitated for a while and finally said: "Actually..."
"Daddy!"
Yang Yun came out of the kitchen carrying the dishes, interrupted what Yang Xiong was about to say, glared at Ye Zhenzhen unceremoniously, and said angrily, "They are just a group of unknown strangers, even if Uncle Wu brought them,
But who knows whether they are loyal or traitorous? Why should dad tell them about our family affairs? Be careful of being deceived!"
Yang Xiong was so embarrassed that he apologized to everyone, especially Lao Wu, "Yun'er has always been outspoken, and I was rude for a moment. Please don't take offense."
"No, no, I'm too troublesome."
Ye Zhenzhen fell short of the mark, saying that she was not sorry would be a lie, but she still had to greet Yang Xiong in a harmonious and soft voice, and at the same time gave Zhu Mingyu a wink, hinting that he would find a chance to go upstairs to find out.
Whether the mysterious patient is Cui Weizhen will soon be revealed.
