Chapter 147
Chapter 146 – Sakunlin
The pharmacy is not difficult to find, it is only half a street away from the door of the main house, Yan Yu walked in the door looking for the fragrance of herbs.
“Is this medicinal herb available for sale?” Yan Yu asked holding a blueprint.
The guests here usually come to grab the medicine with the prescription after seeing the illness, and few like Yan Yu come here for a certain kind of herb alone. Looking at her clothes, the prescription owner probably guessed her identity pretty well. ten.
After all, no one like them will put on clothes for those men who are about to be dragged to execution.
The old lady pushed her glasses, and took her drawing with both hands. This herb has a circle of slender round teeth and a light yellow stamen dotted in the center. It is very characteristic, and she is no stranger to it.
“Grass in the palm, there are a lot of stocks, how many do you want?”
This kind of grass likes to grow in dry and hot areas, and it will fall off after a few hours of freezing. It is very common here, but it is very difficult to find elsewhere.
“I’ll buy as much as you have.” Yan Yu said in a calm tone that the pharmacy owner’s jaw dropped, and he took out his money bag and put it on the table.
“I have a warehouse, are you sure?” The old lady confirmed with her, gesticulating with her hands, “There are so many, three carts can’t be transported away.”
“Well, I’m sure, just tell me how much it is.” Yan Yu motioned her to look at the purse.
The old lady shook her hand and took away a piece of coins, “Just one of these, I’ll find you for the money.”
Yan Yu took the change from her and put it back into the purse without looking at it, “Lead me to the warehouse.”
“Wait, I’ll find some people to help you move.” Worried that Yan Yu might misunderstand, she continued, “They are all my own children, and you won’t be charged for labor. Wherever you want to move, I’ll ask them to give it to you immediately.” deliver.”
“No need.” Yan Yu smiled, “I have room to pretend.”
The old lady looked her back and forth, and really couldn’t guess how the empty-handed Yan Yu would move her large warehouse of herbs.
She led Yan Yu into the warehouse, and turned around to fetch sacks for her. When she bent down, she caught a glimpse of a light flashing from the corner of her eye. When she turned her head, the mountain of medicinal herbs had disappeared out of thin air.
“Wash the medicinal herbs for me.” Yan Yu said to the two cubs who were dozing in the soul domain.
Then she nodded to the prescription boss, leaving the stunned counterpart to leave directly.
She didn’t go back the same way, but went in the direction that the team escorted the man in the morning according to her memory.
It was almost time for dinner, and everyone was rushing back, so of course there were not many people staying in the square.
It is said to be a square here, but it is actually a spacious open space with a few wooden stakes standing in the middle. There are many mottled blood stains on the ground around the wooden stakes. Some of the colors are precipitated, but some are still very fresh.
She caressed the strangle marks on the wooden post, judging that it should be used to fix the executioner, but when her fingers touched it, she suddenly felt a strange feeling in her heart, and then her brain seemed to be covered by something, and her eyes A picture emerges of a man with naked upper body being tied to this pillar and whipped.
The scene was short but very real, and when she broke away from it, she could still hear the crisp sound of whipping.
“Beep—” the system’s notification sound followed, “Congratulations to the host for successfully awakening the omniscient ability! The current skill point is 20 points, please continue to work hard!”
On the system panel, related texts about skill introductions also came into Yan Yu’s sight. The so-called omniscient skill means that when she touches a certain person or a certain object, she may read what happened to her (it) in the past. matter.
“When facing a person or thing with rich emotional energy, the omniscience skill will be triggered more easily.” Yan Yu silently read this small reminder.
She withdrew her hand, and vaguely remembered the ancient prophecy she had memorized to deceive Yin Beiqing.
“In the first year of Guangliu, a goddess came, who knew astronomy from above, and geography from below; told thousands of years of misfortunes and fortunes, and solved ten thousand years of mysteries; the goddess’ holy hand, who can cure all diseases, revives from the ashes, and returns the dead.”
The so-called goddess not only has the ability to predict the future, but also has the insight to see the past.
It’s very strange, at first Yan Yu didn’t believe that the word “goddess” could be associated with herself. I don’t know if it’s because she has lived with this name for a long time now, but she began to feel that these miraculous things happened in It is a matter of course for myself.
According to the skill introduction, what she saw just now happened in real life?
Yan Yu closed her eyes, changed another pillar to feel again, through her fingertips, her nerves seemed to be connected with their emotions, unwillingness, grievance, despair…
They were wronged and wronged, but only lacked anger, so apart from begging for mercy and admitting their mistakes, they had no choice but to struggle and be pushed to death in panic.
“My lord, what are you doing?” Yan Yu who was interrupted opened his eyes, and found that standing behind him was the owner of the pharmacy just now.
She gave a questioning look, and the other party replied immediately, “I just want to ask, do you still need palm grass in the future? We pick a lot here. If you have a lot of use for it, you can always come to me to get it. Yes.”
After Yan Yu left just now, she thought about it carefully. Their climate is special, and many rare herbs that cannot be seen outside grow, but they suffer from no good sales. No matter how good the quality of the herbs is, they can only be sold to the surrounding residents at low prices. She had thought a long time ago that if there was a way to sell these medicinal herbs to those alchemists in the main city, she would make a fortune, so now that such a good opportunity was in front of her, how could she not seize it.
Moreover, Yan Yu seemed to have a good temper, even if he asked too much, he wouldn’t offend her.
“Not necessarily.” Yan Yu could probably guess her intentions, and pointed out bluntly, “I will go back to the main city after the mission is over. Hay can also be bought in pharmacies in the main city (although the price is high), but if you want to pay attention to changing the transportation method, the cost will be higher than your profit from selling herbs.”
The grass in the palm of her soul domain is enough for her to use for a period of time, and she said these just to help the old lady analyze.
“Oh…oh, that’s it.” The old lady clasped her hands and didn’t know whether she understood or not.
Yan Yu got down from the execution platform, “By the way, I want to ask you, what crime did the man who was dragged here to execute this morning commit?”
“Morning? There are several in the morning… Oh, is that the one you are talking about?” The old lady remembered the news she heard from her neighbors during the day.
“If you are asking about the person who sent you the clothes, he should have been found out alone after the curfew. Except for the dance festival, other men are not allowed to go out at night without permission, unless there are special events or when the wife Accompanied.” The old lady waved her hand, “It’s not a big deal, usually you can put it back after two lashes, he might have annoyed people today, so I rewarded him with a few more lashes, I heard that he has passed out until now. It’s on.”
“Is it just because you have been out at night that you have to be whipped?”
“Look what’s behind this pillar.”
Yan Yu walked around to the back, only to find that there was a portrait of this person printed on the pillar with thick arms. “It” closed its eyes, raised its head upwards, folded its hands on its chest, and faintly saw a newborn soul in its slightly opened mouth. beads.
She has seen this picture, which is the fertility **** worshiped by the Polai people long ago. Their people believe that pasting the portrait of the fertility **** on the head of the bed or on the door can play a role in protecting the fetus.
It’s just that Yan Yu didn’t expect that someone would engrave it on the execution ground.
“We don’t have many families in this remote place, so the host family advocates that everyone have more children, wishing that each family would have ten or eight children, but don’t get me wrong, we are not patriarchal, if Whoever gives birth to more than five male babies will be rewarded. Look, is the treatment of our male baby much better than that of the outsiders? Just throw it away in a deserted valley!” The old lady tapped the back of her right hand with her left hand, “Besides, it’s for their own good not to let little boys go out at night, and they usually stay at home pampered and have no strength at all. You can’t lift a basket of eggs, and you can’t protect yourself if you encounter danger.”
“Really.” After listening to her words, Yan Yu hung his head and didn’t know what he was thinking, but vaguely felt that the words were very familiar.
But she didn’t get too entangled in this issue, and quickly asked about something else, “In this case, how many children did the master have under his knees?”
“Master?” The old lady lowered her voice, approached her and said mysteriously, her tone was rather gloating, “He doesn’t have a baby.”
This answer was the same as what the master himself said, but Yan Yu just couldn’t rest assured, she couldn’t forget the baby crying when she passed by that room, since the hanging was true, the crying must not be groundless.
“Hi! He doesn’t seem to be able to give birth to a baby himself, and there has never been any movement in that regard. But when the former master’s family died, he often talked about the child, saying that his child could finally live, but she never How can I live without a child? So everyone said that she wanted a child so much that she went crazy and committed suicide.” The old lady added, “By the way, the former owner’s family is the current owner’s wife. He has just become the head of the family, otherwise he would be half blind in this position.”
Sure enough, gossip still has to be heard from the masses, Yan Yu showed an expression of interest, “Why are his eyes blind?”
“I don’t know that. He lost his eyes when he came to us. I don’t know what the former master’s family liked about him. He is ugly and disabled and can’t have a baby.”
Yan Yu accurately captured the information points in her words. It seems that the host is not even a native of the local people, but such a disabled man from outside has climbed up to the position of the host step by step. She wanted it to be an inspirational story, but she couldn’t ignore the strangeness in it.
Yan Yu pretended to look up at the sky, and said to the old lady, “I still have something to do, I have to go back first, and I’ll talk to you next time.”
“My lord, wait a minute.” The old lady stopped her, “We have a pre-festival dance tonight, if you have nothing else to do, you can come and have a look, listen to them, how many dances are you picking tonight?” The figure is very soft, it must look good when twisted.”
She spoke with a suggestive tone, Yan Yu knew what it meant, but she only felt disgusted.
“Let’s talk about it later.” Yan Yu left without much twiddling with her.
After she went back, she prepared the fresh palm herbs she bought together with several other medicines to make medicine.
Perhaps because practice makes perfect, she can now precisely control the amount of each herb without picking it with a measuring tool.
“Master, are you suspecting that something is wrong with the master’s house?”
“It’s a bit weird, but I can’t tell you the specifics.” She still remembered that Qi was a bargaining chip held in Yu Fusang’s hands, but she was surprisingly low-key all the way, not to mention petty moves, she didn’t even say a word A few words.
The Red Pavilion has rich experience in chasing the traces of evil spirits, but Qi can have such a long “disappearance period” after escaping. Logically, since it has a way to delay the pursuit of the Red Pavilion, it can completely come here after them. It “disappeared” again on the road, but it did not do so. Its position did not move at all during the first survey of the main city and the last survey after arriving here.
It’s as if it has already dug a trap here, waiting for the enemy to fall into the trap.
“After your analysis, I suddenly felt that there was something wrong.” The system acted more flustered than Yan Yu, “Then you must have thought about how to deal with it! I always feel that relying on the Heart Sutra alone is enough to deal with Qi.” The super world art evil spirit is still a bit confusing.”
Yan Yu slowly stirred the spoon in his hand, staring intently at the medicine dregs floating in the light brown medicine juice, “Well, I’ve thought about it.”
