Shen Yuyu felt very uneasy, so he and Ji Xun drove the carriage to Baijiacun.
On the road, there was an endless stream of horse-drawn carriages pulling ore, making the road uneven. The carriages were loaded with black and gray stones, which looked like iron ore.
After asking a rickshaw driver, he found that it was indeed iron ore.
Two or three months ago, an iron ore was suddenly discovered in Baijia Village, and now it is being mined in full swing.
Shen Yuyu was not in the mood to meddle in these nosy matters. She was thinking about Uncle Bai, wondering if he was sick. Why didn't she ask someone to go to the county to tell her that she really didn't treat her as a daughter.
All the way to Baijia Village, after entering the village, I asked an uncle where shopkeeper Bai's home was. The uncle pointed to a wooden house at the foot of the mountain and said, "Are you his distant relatives? If you go now, you might be able to give him a final gift. One ride.”
"What do you mean? What's wrong with Uncle Bai?" Shen Yuyu's face suddenly turned pale.
"What's the matter? He's about to die. You'll know if you go and have a look." The uncle said and left.
Shen Yuyu's heart felt as if someone had squeezed it so hard that it hurt.
"Axun, hurry up the carriage." Her voice was choked with sobs.
How long has it been? How could a good person be about to die? She didn't believe it, but she couldn't help but not believe it. Who would joke about such a thing?
Shen Yuyu sat in the carriage and was anxious. Ji Xun drove the carriage very fast and soon stopped in front of a simple yard.
Shen Yuyu hurriedly got out of the car, grabbed the medicine box in the car and ran to the main room: "Uncle Bai, Uncle Bai?"
Aunt Bai came out with black eyes when she heard the shouting. She was surprised and happy when she saw it was Shen Yuxi, "Why is this girl here?" The man in the family has been sick for so long, and this is the first time someone has come to visit. Before he finished speaking, his eyes turned red.
"Auntie, is my uncle really sick?" Shen Yuyu took Aunt Bai's hand.
"I'm sick. I've been ill for a few days." Aunt Bai wiped the corners of her eyes.
"Where is it? I'm going to have a look." She is a doctor, she can save him, and she still has the Magic Flower Fruit in her hand. She was able to save the fugitive from being so seriously injured last time, and Uncle Bai's illness must be the same. Can.
Shen Yuyu looked into the house anxiously. His eyes couldn't adjust to the darkness in the room, and he couldn't see anyone there.
Shopkeeper Bai, who was lying on the bed at this time, recognized Shen Yuyu's voice and said weakly: "Shen, girl Shen, where did you get this letter? Come here to send it to uncle on his last journey."
Shen Yuyu felt uncomfortable when she heard this familiar voice, and hurriedly ran towards the wooden bed in the corner.
Looking at the sunken-eyed and skinny shopkeeper Shen Yuyu, tears welled up in her eyes: "Uncle, didn't you say I was your daughter? Why didn't you ask someone to tell me when you were so sick?"
Shopkeeper Bai was choked up and speechless, his eyes filled with tears. He knew he was hopeless. When Shen Yuyu asked someone to inquire about him, he hid it, not wanting the girl to worry.
At this time, Ji Xun had already opened the medicine box, took out the pulse pillow and handed it to Shen Yuyu. Shen Yuyu hurriedly wiped away his tears and checked Shopkeeper Bai's pulse.
"Uncle, you were poisoned, who did it?'
Shen Yuyu's face was full of uncontrollable anger. The dose of this chronic poison was extremely large and had penetrated deep into the bone marrow. She happened to have a few magic flower fruits in the medicine box ready for Ji Xun to take. Shen Yuyu He quickly took it out, helped Shopkeeper Bai up, and fed him the five fruits together.
After taking the medicine, Shopkeeper Bai felt a little better. He looked at Ji Xun and said, "Ah Xun, treat our daughter well and take good care of her. Also, after uncle died, your aunt was all alone. I ask you to take care of her for a while." ."
"Uncle, you will be fine, I can cure you." Shen Yuyu shed tears and checked Shopkeeper Bai's pulse, but Shopkeeper Bai's pulse was weakening little by little, and the poison invaded the heart and lungs. Even after taking the magic god The flowers and fruits are also beyond repair.
Shopkeeper Bai's sunken eyes were full of tears and full of relief, "Daughter, can you come and see me off for the last time? If my uncle dies, he will die in peace." After saying this, his pulse gradually weakened and his life passed away little by little.
"No, uncle, you can't die. I have a way to save you. Just hold on tight first." Shen Yuyu wanted to grab the silver needle bag, but Ji Xun held her down.
"Yu Yu accepts the reality, Uncle Bai is leaving soon.
"No, I still have medicine. I still have medicine to detoxify uncle. Give me the silver needle." Shen Yuyu's face was full of grief and panic. "Uncle, please don't die, not yet! I can still save you." Shen Yu With tears streaming down her face, Yu was tightly held in Ji Xun's arms.
Shen Yuyu saw Uncle Bai's eyes closing, and her heart suddenly twisted. She remembered the first time she went to Uncle Bai's medicine hall to sell ginseng, and the uncle gave her ten taels of silver with two thin beards. Thinking of Ji Xun being arrested, The uncle secretly stopped the carriage, waited for her behind, and took her into the county. Thinking of her going to stop the lady's sedan chair, the uncle looked anxiously at the door of the inn for a long time. Thinking of her being unjustly accused of murder, the uncle knelt down to watch the lady. In front of the sedan chair, a human head was used to guarantee that she was not the murderer.
"Who poisoned the uncle? If I don't help the uncle to avenge this, I, Shen Yuxi, will never be a human being." Shen Yuxi gritted his teeth and knelt in front of Shopkeeper Bai's bed, tears streaming down his face.
"It's someone from the government office in the iron mine." Aunt Bai seemed to have been mentally prepared early in the morning, or maybe her tears had already dried up. She silently pulled up the quilt to cover Shopkeeper Bai.
After Shen Yuyu cried for a while and stabilized her mood, the three of them went to sit in the yard outside the house, and Aunt Bai told the story of the incident.
There was a heavy snowfall two years ago, and a mountain in the village collapsed, exposing an iron ore vein. The village reported it to the government. The government quickly sent a large number of people to start mining.
Mining was not a big deal, but there was a river next to the mine. Baijia Village and the downstream villages all drank water from the river. Not long after the mine started, villagers who drank the river water suffered from poisoning, and more than a dozen of them died.
At that time, shopkeeper Bai conducted autopsies on the bodies of these deceased people, and concluded that the iron ore contained a toxic substance that had polluted the entire river.
Everyone complained to the county and demanded that the mine be closed down.
The iron ore mine sent someone to invite Shopkeeper Bai, trying to bribe him with money to change his autopsy statement, but Shopkeeper Bai refused.
After coming back, shopkeeper Bai had a poisoning reaction. He must have poisoned the tea.
After listening to Aunt Bai's narration, Ji Xun fell silent. He received a letter from Zhang Neng, saying that He Shaoyuan, the new general of Red Flame Camp, had dismissed him, the Night King's former subordinate, for various crimes and sent him to Baijia Mine. to do hard labor in the mines,
He originally came to Baijiacun to inquire about the news under the pretext of visiting Uncle Bai, but he never involved Yu Yu in this matter.
Yu Yu and Shopkeeper Bai are not biologically biological, so how could Yu Yu let this matter go?
