Li Qi and Wei Gang followed Wang Tu to a thatched hut.
I saw a woman lying on a pile of hay in the house. The woman was dressed in cloth, her face was blue, and she looked a little dying.
Li Qi walked over and touched the woman's forehead with his hand. He found that it was a little hot, but there was no herpes on her body. This was obviously not a symptom of smallpox.
So Li Qi asked Wang Tu about the situation. According to him, his wife suddenly fainted while working during the day, and he carried her back after that.
Hearing this, Li Qi looked at the weather outside. It was over thirty degrees at least.
Working in such hot temperatures will most likely cause heat stroke.
Thinking of this, Li Qi quickly asked Wang Tu to get a basin of water, and then Li Qi said: "We will go out in a while. You follow my instructions, take off your wife's clothes, and wipe her with a cloth dipped in water."
After wiping her body, you use a fan to cool her down. It doesn't look like your wife is sick, she must be suffering from heatstroke."
When Wang Tu heard this, his face lit up: "My wife is really not infected?"
Li Qi was also a little unsure, so he said: "Do as I say first."
Wang Tu nodded.
Li Qi and Wei just came out of the thatched house and came to the yard.
When Wei Gang saw Li Qi laughing and sighing for a while, he couldn't help but ask: "Master, what's wrong?"
Li Qi glanced at him and said, "I have a way to get Zhao Yuanwai's head..."
Wei Gang was a little surprised: "Master, what can I do?"
Li Qi pursed his lips, leaned over and whispered: "Think about it, if Zhao Yuanwai is infected with smallpox, he will be weak by then, and if we take the opportunity to take action, wouldn't we be able to capture him easily?"
When Wei Gang heard this, his eyes lit up and he said: "This method is good, but I don't know how the young master can make him get sick?"
This question immediately stopped Li Qi.
"Don't worry, let's go to the Yuanwai Mansion first and then talk." Li Qi said.
As expected, Wang just suffered from heatstroke. After some physical cooling by Wang Tu, she woke up quickly.
Wang Tu thanked Li Qi for a while and refused to accept any money from Li Qi. He also said that it didn't matter how long they wanted to stay.
"Brother Wang, take this money and ask your sister-in-law to buy some food later. We'll probably have to be in trouble for a few more days, so don't be polite to me." Li Qi stuffed the few taels of silver over.
Without waiting for Wang Tu to refuse again, Li Qi said: "We still have some things to do. We have to go out first, so we won't bother Brother Wang and sister-in-law."
After saying that, he took Wei Gang and left the farmhouse.
Both of them were wearing tattered clothes and had some mud on their faces.
At first glance, they look exactly like beggars, and no one will pay them any attention when walking on the street.
At first, Li Qi thought that it might take some time to find Yuanwaifu, but it turned out that it didn't take long. Not long after walking on the street, he saw a magnificent villa.
Before reaching the gate of the other courtyard, I saw two big characters standing out: Zhao Mansion.
Obviously there will never be another villa like this in Maguan Town. If this wasn't the place where Zhao Guanshan lived, Li Qi wouldn't believe it even if he killed him.
There were several servants standing at the door, and people would come in and out from time to time.
The people who come in and out are basically people from the Jianghu, and each of them carries a weapon.
After looking at the door for a long time, Li Qi leaned into Wei Gang's ear, said something, and then gave him some money.
Soon Wei Gang nodded and left.
After the lieutenant had just left, Li Qi went around to the back door of Yuanwai Mansion, found an inconspicuous place and squatted down.
I stayed like this until the afternoon, and finally someone came out of the back door. There were three people in total, an aunt and two maids.
All three of them were carrying baskets in their hands, obviously going out to buy something.
Li Qi leaned over and lowered his head and said, "Have mercy on me, I haven't eaten for several days..."
"Ouch, what's wrong with you, a beggar? Why are you here begging for food? Hurry up and don't block the way." The leading aunt scolded.
Li Qi continued: "Okay, I haven't eaten for several days..."
"Get out of the way quickly. If you block the road again, I'll have someone come out to deal with you later... Besides, how can we have food now? We have to rush to buy groceries."
Hearing this, Li Qi felt happy, stopped blocking the road, and quickly got out of the way.
As soon as the three people left, Li Qi got into the alley and rushed towards the market without stopping.
There was only a vegetable place in Maguan Town. When Li Qi passed by, Wei Gang was already standing in front of a pork stall and shouted: "Pork, pork, fresh pork."
Li Qi didn't rush over, but found a place where no one was around and took out the medicine bottle from his arms.
Now there are not many medicines that he brought from Feiyan Village. Except for the spring medicine, there are not many other medicines left, and some medicines have been used up.
Grandma, even if the poison doesn't kill you, it won't make you feel better.
Li Qi poured some medicine out of each medicine bottle and mixed it together. Then he went to Weigang's side, changed his clothes under the pork stall table, and then put the medicine on a piece of pork and kneaded it.
After a while, I cut the meat open again with a knife and stuffed some into it.
After doing all this, he got out from under the table and placed the piece of processed pork in the corner.
After a while, the aunt who came out of Zhao Yuan's house came to the pork stall.
"Is this pork fresh?"
Li Qi grinned and said, "It's absolutely fresh. The pig was just killed today, especially this piece of meat. Look at how good it is."
"How to sell?"
"Thirteen cents per catty, guaranteed to be delicious. If it doesn't taste good, there's no charge."
The aunt hesitated for a moment and turned it over with her hands: "Why is the color of this pork so different?"
"This is the best pig just brought back from other places. There is no shop like this after passing this village. And this kind of pork does not need to be washed. It can be cooked directly after taking it back, ensuring the original flavor. You will want to eat it again," said Li Qi.
.
The aunt was dubious: "Wouldn't it be unclean if I don't wash it?"
"I said, aunt, this pig is different from other pigs. If you wash it, the fragrance will be washed away, and you won't be able to taste the original deliciousness when it is cooked. If you don't believe it, take this piece of meat first, and follow the instructions
I'll do what I say. If it doesn't taste good, I won't charge you. If it tastes good, how about you come over and give me money?"
"Is there such a good thing?" Something flashed in the aunt's eyes.
"How can I lie to you? This piece of pork is worth at least a hundred coins, right? I sell it to repeat customers." Li Qi said with a troubled face, "Otherwise, you can take the meat, it's delicious and come back."
Just pay me half of the price, if it doesn’t taste good you won’t get a penny.”
When he said this, the aunt was a little moved. She hesitated for a moment and said: "Okay, let's take it back and try it. I can tell you, we are from Zhao Yuan's house. If it doesn't taste good then, don't
Blame me for letting someone come over and blow up your stall."
