    When Jiang Baiye came to find him, Mr. Da Da had already given Lu Lizhi the pulse of nearly a cup of tea kung fu.

    Generally, the longer you watch, it may mean that things are not going well...

    Lu Lizhi lowered his eyes and waited quietly, no one could see his emotions.

    But Da Dafu could feel through his pulse that he was tense, afraid, desperate, and even a trace of violence that wanted to retreat was gradually growing.

    At this time, a hand put on his shoulder and stroked gently, "How is it?"

    Lu Li was stunned, and in an instant, he turned back from his negative emotions, and the coldness all over his body quickly dissipated under this caring sound.

    The independent and indifferent guy in front of outsiders, at this moment, unexpectedly overflowed with a little grievance.

    Jiang Baiye sensed this, exerted a little strength, and conveyed his strength through his shoulders.

    not afraid.

    Lu Lizhi's brows and eyes widened.

    Mrs. Da Da felt a little displeased with this scene, "Hey, you brat, you interfered with my pulse, and you interrupted me now!"

    "Is it possible for me to interrupt your powerful ability? That's too..." Jiang Baiye was not afraid at all, and he just wanted to.

    "Hmph, don't be aggressive, since I've already checked his pulse, he won't die."

    "Some people don't seem to have said that before~" Jiang Baiye reminded suspiciously and tactfully.

    Mr. Da Da concealed his blushing, snorted again, took a sip of tea, pointed to his head with two pairs of eyes that finally looked him squarely, "There is a problem here."

    Jiang Baiye sighed secretly, so it is said that Chinese medicine is extensive and profound, which can only be revealed in modern times through various instrumental examinations, and dumb diseases are also difficult to cure through modern medical methods.

    "Probably, 30% certainty." Da Dafu said again.

    Lu Lizhi was instantly pleasantly surprised, 30%!

    When he was young, his father took him to see other doctors, let alone treating his dumb disease, they couldn't even discover his constitution, and now they are 30% sure!?

    Jiang Baiye frowned, "It's only 30%, less than half?"

    These are only mentioned in the book, Jiang Baiye doesn't know the specific situation, and his ancestors are not good at dumb disease, otherwise he might have given two prescriptions to cure dumb disease, but 30%... is really too low!

    Mr. Da Da didn't even bother to pursue his attitude. The 30% chance was really not very high for him, but as a doctor, he definitely couldn't talk too much, and left himself a little room for change.

    "The next step is to drink medicine, acupuncture and medicated bath for treatment. How long it will take depends on his recovery. The trouble is that some medicinal materials are extremely difficult to find in the market." He frowned, feeling troubled.

    "I should have no problem with the medicine. I will spare no effort to find it for you. You can just tell me what medicine you need. It's just about the consultation fee..." Jiang Baiye was thinking about whether he was going to sell prescriptions again.

    Ever since he decided not to sell his ancestral secret recipe, but still used it to make a profit again and again, Jiang Baiye's conscience was not at ease every time, and he felt that he was indebted to his grandfather and grandparents.

    Unexpectedly, Mr. Da Da's eyes flickered, "Consultation fee? It takes a lot of effort and energy to treat him. If you really want to ask for a consultation fee, you may not be able to afford it."

    Lu Lizhi clenched his fists, thinking about how to make money, how to make more money.

    "How about this, you just cook me a meal every day. You can't repeat the same meal every day. It's best to let me eat to my heart's content. Besides, I'm picky and have eaten countless things, so I can't fool me at will..."

    Mrs. Da Da talked about the conditions for a long time, and the more he talked, the quieter he became. He felt that it was too much. He was afraid that the person at the top didn't have such treatment in terms of food. He was daydreaming!

    Jiang Baiye smiled and said, "Okay! Once a word is said, it is hard to follow. We'd better sign a contract, lest some people will regret it."

    "Playing, playing tricks..." Who on earth would play tricks, dare to accept such harsh conditions?

    Dafu has already begun to look forward to what surprises he can bring to himself!

    And Jiang Baiye was not afraid of him asking for conditions at all, but he was afraid that he would not get in. Since there was something to be said, he would definitely plan something long-term.

    For example, what both Li Zhi and the He family want to see - buy Mrs. Da Da over!

    Almost when he made up his mind, the Shanyitang could no longer sit still.

    He had just lost a "general", so he couldn't let Mr. Da Da get into trouble again.

    Mrs. Da Da is the movable-type signboard of their Shanyitang. He left Beijing recently. Many regular customers and some patients who came to him in his name heard that he was not there, and they complained a lot.

    Even if there are some diseases that can be treated by other doctors, they only trust Dr. Dafa and would rather wait for a long time, so Shanyi Tang wrote a letter urging Dr. Dafa to go back as soon as possible.

    He was also afraid that Huichuntang would do something wrong, and he would write in the letter how his family was, how his friends were, and how the patients he had been with before missed him and needed him.

    However, the Shanyitang wrote a lot of long articles, but they didn't hit Mr. Da Da's idea.

    Mrs. Da Da suddenly felt a little sad for his boss, "I don't know what I really like. Hey, it's so disappointing. Those people have nothing to do with me!"

    Having lived to this age, worrying about this and that, for so many years, now, he just wants to treat himself better.

    Before Lu Lizhi officially started the treatment, he wanted to share the good news with Granny Li.

    On the day of returning to the village, he specially bought some warm winter clothes for the old man, brought some candied fruits she loved, and special products bought on the road before, including the hometown flavor that Granny Li had talked to him about before..

    Naturally, Jiang Baiye's family also went back together, and they also had a lot of things to deal with.

    The first thing is to go to Wang Lizheng and give a general talk about the construction of the flood canal during this period of time.

    "...The specific situation is like this. The reward is estimated to wait until the flood discharge canal is completely completed, probably around March next year."

    "Okay, okay!" Wang Li was so excited that his eyes were hot, "You and Li Zhi have done a big deal! It was your uncle who was stupid before, and he didn't know when he was deceived, but I asked, except for us in Baishi Town, other placesThings don't seem to be going well…”

    Jiang Baiye curled his lips to remind him, "Li Zhi previously worshiped Yan Zhifu as his teacher."

    Wang Lizheng understood it instantly, and was overjoyed, "This is a great thing! It seems that our Qingshui Village will have a champion in the future..."

    "Prefect Yan... I heard that the prefect Yan did a good job of reducing the burden on Baishi Town. Li Zhi must have put a lot of effort into it, otherwise it wouldn't have such an effect!"

    And this matter was quickly spread throughout Qingshui Village via Wang Lizheng. Everyone was surprised and grateful.

    Some brought groceries to Lu Lizhi, some thanked him in front of him, and some even came to ask him and Jiang Baiye about their family's situation there.

    When learned that ate and drank there and was not tortured, burst into tears.

    Kneeling on the ground with a plop!

    "The old woman knows that she must follow you, and only by following you can you survive!"

    "Thank you, thank you! If you don't tell me, I know that there is no life for people. I used to build a city wall and my legs and feet were useless. Not to mention such a long flood canal. You must be protecting the people in our village..”

    People who didn't know heard the words, and they were all touched. This is equivalent to, they owe Lu Lizhi and Jiang Baiye half their lives!

    Later, many people in Baishi Town also heard the news that they were blessed by others, but they didn't know that Lu Lizhi was a student of Yan Zhifu, so they didn't take it seriously, they just thought it was a rumor.

    Lu Lizhi didn't plan for anything, but he conquered those people who didn't take him seriously, and even gossiped about him behind his back.

    It is also a sense of accomplishment.

    Grandpa, father, Li Zhi can do it too, and will only do better in the future!

    Not far away under the bare saponin tree, Granny Li, who was asked to put on a warm new dress, watched this scene, her eyes were moist, and there was also a worry hidden in her eyes full of vicissitudes.

    She didn't know if she should tell him about that...

    The second thing Jiang Baiye did when he returned to the village was naturally to go to the workshop and inspect the situation from top to bottom.

    He Yun took care of it before, and he was orderly inside and out. He even felt that it was more orderly than his meeting. Nothing important happened in the past few days, and Yuan Guanshi can handle it by himself.

    "In the future, I may ask Guanshi Yuan, Master Ding, and Master Qian to help me take care of it." Jiang Baiye will live in Fucheng, so he must not go back to the village every day to stay in the workshop. He can take care of things, but he can't fix themDay soak in the workshop, right?

    No, no, no, he doesn't want to be in the ancient 996. He makes money to enjoy the blessings, so he can't take care of one thing and lose another.

    For this reason, Jiang Baiye humbly raised wages for each of them—50 taels a month for a few masters, 80 taels a month for Yuan Guanshi, 5 taels a month for a group of people with good craftsmanship, and 3 taels a month for ordinary helpers.It is directly ten times as much as in other places!

    A group of people were instantly excited and full of energy, wishing they could live in the workshop without going home during the Chinese New Year.

    But they also know that the workshop is really making money, and these also have their share of credit.

    When it came to the four people of Ronghuafugui, now they are rarely injured, and they all sincerely pay respects to Jiang Baiye.

    "Anhua, how is your sister?"

    An Huadeng, who was still in a low mood, was so flattered that he almost knelt down and kowtowed to him!

    "Fang, Fangzhu, you were right at the beginning. I took my sister to Huichun Hall to see, and found out that there was no problem, so I changed to a stable wife. My little nephew and my sister are safe and sound!"

    "That's good."

    An Hua still couldn't help but kowtowed, "Thank you Fangzhu for your concern!"

    "It's not terrible to make mistakes, but you have to learn a lesson, and if the purpose is not pure, there is no chance of trial and error here." The implication is also a disguised affirmation and knock on Anhua.

    At this time, Jiang Baiye became amiable, "Get ready, follow me into the mountains to pick some herbs."

    He had vaguely seen the medicines that Dafu mentioned in the mountains, but he was not sure if they were still available in this season.

    The most important thing is to look for it wherever you are.

    In the early morning of the second day, everything was quiet and there was light snow in the sky. When they learned that Jiang Baiye was going to enter the mountain at this time, Lu Lizhi and He Shi naturally disagreed.

    "It's cold and slippery today, and it's too dangerous to go to the mountains. It won't be too late when the weather clears up, and Li Zhi is not in a hurry!"

    Lu Lizhi nodded solemnly.

    Jiang Baiye was a little anxious, Li Zhi's opponents in the imperial examination would only get stronger and stronger in the future, and at a similar level, Li Zhi's inability to speak would become an obstacle for him.

    And Dafa couldn't say for sure how long the treatment would last.

    "After that, the snow will only get bigger and bigger. If it drags on for a while, the herbs will be buried by the heavy snow, making it even more difficult to find."

    Jiang Baiye is determined, no one can stop him.

    But Lu Lizhi insisted on going into the mountain with him, and Jiang Baiye didn't dare to stop him.

    In the end, the two put on the warmest clothes, brought something to keep out the cold and a series of tools, and met the four people who were already prepared.

    "Actually, winter is fine. In winter, all the beasts hide, and the poisonous snakes, rats, insects and ants are gone."

    But correspondingly, the originally emerald green mountains have also turned into gloomy gray and yellow, giving people a sense of depression and dilapidation.

    Lu Lizhi was a little worried about Jiang Baiye's workshop revenue.

    A group of people were walking in the light snow in coir raincoats. Jiang Baiye seemed to know what he was thinking, "Don't worry, the leaves on the surface are withered, and many rhizomes hidden in the soil are ripening. There are also many cold-resistant herbs in this mountain.They are still quite expensive, but if the production volume decreases, the price will increase.”

    Ginger white wild medicine is sold cheaply, and it must follow the laws of the market. It is difficult to collect herbs in winter, and it is not easy to make medicine. The price of each kind must be increased accordingly.

    Furthermore, he also took precautions against the current situation, so in autumn, he stored a lot of crude medicine for further processing in winter.

    While talking intermittently, the breath in front of his eyes became foggy, and the temperature became lower as he went further into the mountains, and even the four men who were engaged in heavy physical labor were a little bit overwhelmed.

    Lu Lizhi felt that his eyelashes were frozen, slightly cold and heavy.

    "It's so beautiful..." Jiang Baiye wiped away the mist between his eyebrows and eyes for him, and gave him a water bag wrapped in layers of blankets in a basket, "Keep it warm."

    There was scalding hot water inside, which was very warm and comfortable, and Lu Lizhi looked relieved.

    Although he was in the cold and deep mountains, but following Jiang Baiye and sticking to his strong and powerful body from time to time, Lu Li felt at ease.

    Occasionally, you can even enjoy the quiet beauty of the snow in the forest in your leisure time.

    The snow fell in the eyes, and the silence blended into one.

    Jiang Baiye felt that he was like a fairy walking out of the ice and snow, but at this time he had already caught his own temperature, which was far from the description in the book.

    Lonely, arrogant, like an eagle who despises everything, the height is too cold, making people feel that he seems very lonely...

    Such Li Zhi will never exist again.

    Jiang Baiye searched for a long time before he found one of the herbs. He dug in the frozen soil for a long time. Fortunately, the harvest was gratifying. He dug more than 20 herbs with tubers as big as potatoes.

    Put it in the back basket, and it sank.

    "This thing is valuable, mark it, you can come here to look for it in the future, but try to avoid going out when it snows." Jiang Baiye planted a branch on the ground so that they would not find the place.

    Prosperity and wealth now want to dig. They used to dig potatoes and sweet potatoes at home with great joy. For some reason, the joy of digging seems to be stronger than that of picking.

    It may also be that they have been picking herbs before, and they rarely dig herbs.

    In the mountains, there are some cold-resistant mushrooms in winter. Flammulina velutipes and oyster mushrooms are growing slowly. It is worth mentioning that winter bamboo shoots are in season.

    A few people came to a hill full of bamboo forests, Jiang Baiye let the four of them dig a bag, and it would be good to go back and order food.

    Then and Lu Lizhi made a stir-fried mushroom with winter bamboo shoots, sprinkled with a pinch of seasoning, and even had a wonderful taste of braised pork with winter bamboo shoots.

    At night, Jiang Baiye and Lu Lizhi still lived in the same cave.

    Move a stone as a door panel to block the hole from the air leakage, leaving only a little ventilation, then burn the fire vigorously, then spread the blankets, hug each other to keep warm, it is warmer than sleeping in the empty room of your own.

    In the next few days, the two traveled all over Daheng Mountain, even approaching places that they hadn't set foot on very much before, and finally got together several kinds of medicinal materials.

    It's just that one of them is a substitute for another herbal medicine that doesn't ripen in winter, and the other one is that he only found some seedlings and plans to go back and find a way to make a greenhouse to catalyze the growth as soon as possible.

    Ronghuafugui took care of himself and stayed with him in the mountains for a few days, but his condition was much worse than that of Jiang Baiye.

    However, all four of them felt that the two of them were nourished by sweet love, so their complexions were so rosy, and their movements were so neat.

    There are indeed some reasons for this.

    The two of them seemed to be on their honeymoon. One night, they went to secretly soak in a steaming mountain hot spring. When they came back, they rolled together, entangled like old trees and vines, intertwined and coiled layer by layer.

    Lu Lizhi thought of what Mr. Da Da said, and pulled Jiang Baiye's hand from his waist to the knee.

    He was too nervous, and even began to enjoy this kind of... stimulation between being discovered and not being discovered by him.

    However, Jiang Baiye treated him very highly, he didn't even rub him against him, suddenly he was a gentleman, it seemed that he was so hungry and thirsty.

    Thinking of this, Lu Lizhi, even though his porcelain-white skin was originally rosy and ruddy in the eyes of others!

    The group of people hurried back to the village at noon, and the snow was just as Jiang Baiye said, it was getting bigger and bigger, and an obvious layer had been laid on the ground.

    The temperature is also frighteningly low. At this moment, no one in the village is willing to come out, and even the children who used to love to play around under the big trees are staying at home.

    Fortunately, earth kangs are built in every household now, and the whole family gathers around the kang, eating, working and sleeping on the kang, and cannot leave the kang bed for half a step.

    When Jiang Baiye and his wife came back, He Shi and Jiang Dazhu didn't even want to get up from the warm kang bed to greet them.

    What about worrying about his safety?

    "In such severe cold weather, those hard laborers are afraid that many people will die."

    Lu Lizhi held his hand. He had tried his best to save many people's lives. In this way, he was worthy of the sky and himself.

    "I hope that Liu Gong and the others will promote this kind of heated kang, and less people will freeze to death." Jiang Baiye said with emotion, but quickly put it behind him. He is not a savior, but a little help beyond his ability.

    Next, he quickly processed the batch of medicinal materials, and they could be used directly by Mrs. Da Da.

    At the Lu family, Lu Lizhi is packing some books and preparing to go to school.

    In the past few days, he has been hanging out with Jiang Baiye and has forgotten everything. He also feels that it is time for him to go to school and stay alert.

    There was a knock on the door outside. Lu Lizhi thought it was Jiang Baiye, but warmth appeared in his eyes unconsciously. When he opened the door, he saw Granny Li with a serious expression.

    "Li Zhi, mother-in-law has something important to tell you." She looked around, "Go in and talk about it."

    Lu Lizhi felt a little uneasy.

    "It may be related to your father's death, but this is just my speculation. Your mother should also have doubts, so I told you that."

    I want him to take revenge, but also want him to stay away...

    Lu Lizhi stood up abruptly and poured down the cup at hand.

    "Don't get excited, but if this is the case, I will be very sad and unwilling!" Granny Li gritted her teeth for a while, and finally told everything under the urging of Lu Lizhi's anxious eyes.

    "Jiang Yilu's family, you should have heard of it, the noble family is exactly your grandfather's previous family, and your grandfather and the current patriarch are siblings, and your grandfather is still the eldest in the family."

    In just a few words, countless important information are revealed——

    The person who can be the patriarch must be a direct descendant, and his grandfather was the eldest brother...

    "However, your grandfather left home because he didn't agree with their ideals. There may be some contradictions. I don't know very well. Jiang Yilu's family passed on literature, but your grandfather didn't like reading."

    It's not that don't like reading, but want to make practical contributions from other aspects, the sooner the better, such as the origin of Qingshui Village, and Jiang Baiye.

    Lu Lizhi fell into dire straits, because the holy place that all the scholars talk about had such a connection with him.

    Once upon a time, he also fantasized that it would be great if he could go to the Lu family's academy to study...

    "Your father, maybe he violated someone's taboo, or blocked someone's way. In short, he is a very talented person. Your grandfather thought about it for a long time before letting him take the imperial examination. He had a lot of worries in his heart."

    "I don't want you to step into the footsteps, not only because of your body, but also because of this aspect, if the conspiracy is established..."

    Then Jiang Yilu's family can easily crush him to death, just like crushing a small ant!

    But Lu Lizhi felt that the truth might not be the case, and there might be some misunderstanding. His father was extremely talented, but as far as he knew, that Lu family had produced child prodigies from generation to generation, not inferior to their lineage at all.

    With the best resources in hand, born in such an environment, influenced by what one hears and sees, and pampered, if one can't study well, then there is something wrong with one's brain.

    The Lu family has no problem with their brains. You can tell from Lu Lizhi and his father that they can study better than each other.

    In this way, Lu Lizhi wanted to find out the truth behind this even more!

    "I tell you this because I hope you will be vigilant against them. If you meet someone from their family, you can't believe it!" Granny Li was afraid that he would encounter similar things many years ago, and wanted to preserve the last bit of blood of her sweetheart.

    Lu Lizhi looked at her gratefully. Originally, because of that relationship, he had some distance from Granny Li, but now he suddenly wanted to discuss with Jiang Baiye...

    "You said that Granny Li would move in with us? That's fine. She happens to have a companion with my parents. My mother likes Granny Li very much. She has taught my mother a lot. After hearing this, she must be very happy.!"

    Lu Lizhi didn't feel too embarrassed to bother others, and didn't want Jiang Baiye to bear the burden for him, so he took the initiative to communicate with the He family, and all the expenses of Granny Li would be borne by himself.

    "You child, why are you being so polite! If you can persuade Granny Li's stubborn temper, I have to thank you!" Mrs. He said excitedly, the old woman has an appetite for her, and it is more interesting than being with Jiang Dazhu!

    Jiang Dazhu's nose was itchy, and he sneezed instantly.

    The fact is exactly as He expected, although Granny Li is a lonely old woman, she is more arrogant and strong, and she wants to guard this place wholeheartedly, and she is not willing to go to Fucheng with them.

    "For me, that's my roots."

    Lu Lizhi suddenly wondered if his grandfather had betrayed such a good person back then, but if his virtues were at fault, Granny Li probably wouldn't miss him for so many years.

    So, how much is his grandfather worthy of people's dreams?As a result, an excellent girl never married.

    Lu Li felt more and more guilty. He was worried about leaving Granny Li alone, especially in this difficult winter, so he could only make her hut extremely warm before leaving, and asked an aunt next door to give herAsk her to look after some money.

    This aunt was worrying that her family would not be able to solve the problem recently, and when she suddenly saw a small ingot of silver, she hurriedly responded, and she was no longer afraid of Granny Li's dark face.

    Every morning, noon, and before going to bed, would visit Granny Li and help her with housework. Even her son was sent to chop firewood and carry water for Granny Li.

    Granny Li was expressionless, a little uncomfortable with the enthusiasm and help from outsiders, but thinking of the filial piety of that child, she didn't want him to worry too much.

    I had to put on a face every day, trying to scare them away.

    And Lu Lizhi came to the school in Fucheng first before Jiang Baiye concocted the medicinal materials and Mrs. Pang Da gave him the first treatment.

    Ding Lihui, who had been friends with him before, had followed his advice, transferred here from Mingli Academy, and enrolled in Qiuri, and even revealed a piece of news to him.

    Yu Zhijie actually found a relationship and transferred to the government school.

    In addition, Song Haocheng and Fei Hongyu, who had done well in the college examination before, were also wondering why he hadn't come to the school, and even conspired to suspect that someone had taken his place, such as Yu Zhijie, who shouldn't be here.

    There are not a few people who are curious. After all, the head of the government is still a mute, and there are places to discuss everywhere...
