Chapter 230: Mr. Shi who loves to eat duck heads
"Wait! Leave the duck head to me!"
A loud shout in the forest startled a flock of birds.
"Mr. Shi, how come your nose is so sensitive? I can't even taste anything!" Yue Linlang pouted and retracted her hand unhappily.
"You can eat whatever you want, except the duck head. You young people shouldn't compete with an old man like me for it." As Old Shi spoke, his white beard twitched.
Ruan Qingqing shook her head and laughed.
"And you, why didn't you prepare more delicious food for me?" Old Shi glared at her in dissatisfaction.
Ruan Qingqing was not annoyed, she curled her lips and smiled, "Old Shi, here, as long as you cure the illnesses of these four people, there will be plenty of duck heads as a gift to you!"
"I knew you were holding back something!" Old Shi sniffed the spicy duck head with an intoxicated look on his face and glanced at her unhappily.
"It's not impossible to cure Yue's pregnancy, but I need Cai's help. Lu's poison is a bit tricky, and I'm still short of a few herbs. Zhuge's internal injuries need to be healed slowly with warming herbs and my acupuncture, which is not an easy task. As for the scar on Wushang's face, I need to study it more carefully. I don't know how lucky you are, but the people around you are suffering from some tricky and complicated diseases."
"It's better to do it today than to wait for a better day. Mr. Shi, why don't you cure Yue Linlang's pregnancy first?" Ruan Qingqing raised her eyebrows and smiled.
"Tomorrow I want to see six duck heads!" Old Shi gestured with his hands.
"Deal!" Ruan Qingqing agreed happily.
"Mr. Ge, how many farm tools have we sold recently?" she asked Zhuge Hong.
"Giant, the demand is exceeding the supply!"
"Very good! Let's buy some more vegetables and meat tomorrow and go up the mountain! Then we can celebrate Linlang's recovery next month. Oh, and buy ten more ducks."
"Ok!"
Ruan Qingqing looked at the rolling clouds in the sky and asked, "Master Ge, when will the remaining Mozhe arrive?"
"The order was just sent out a few days ago by Juzi Ling. We are at the border of Moliang and Yunqing, so it should take longer than sending an order from other places. At the fastest, it will take a month, and at the slowest, it will take half a year or a year."
Zhuge Hong explained in detail.
"Master, have you made up your mind? Gather all the Mohists and let the Mohist School stand proudly above the nine countries." Lu Dunren said hesitantly.
The floating clouds in Ruan Qingqing's eyes were lingering and stretching, "Well, relying on others is never as good as relying on yourself! I don't want to rely on others or even be stabbed in the back to save someone just because I can't bear to see my loved ones being killed!"
"Master, you are usually a very rational person. Why did you go out of Qingshui County to rescue your father? If we had not left Qingshui County, maybe your father would just need us to give him some food to redeem him. We wouldn't have to be in such a passive situation today, and you wouldn't have to suffer from this knife wound."
Lu Dunren said.
"Perhaps some people will weigh the pros and cons of everything, but even the most rational people will abandon their pros and cons because of some people. How can I bear to gamble with those people who are very precious to me on that one in ten thousand chance? If I fail, I will regret it for the rest of my life!"
Just like her own parents in China, when they were carrying out the mission, grandpa planned everything well, but they still met with an accident in the end. Their departure left only a vague face in her mind, not to mention that grandpa often suddenly became silent because of it.
"Besides, let's not talk about whether my father can wait until we bring food to redeem the people. Even if he can wait, this time it was my father who was kidnapped, and they imprisoned me and didn't let me save people. What about next time? Will they twist and flatten me at will and not allow me to resist? Then can I still be respected? Who will care about my thoughts? No one will, I will completely become a puppet of the superiors!"
Ruan Qingqing said in a sharp tone.
"Master... don't be sad! It's the emperor of Yunqing country who is suspicious and unkind! He was like this to us Momen more than ten years ago, and he is still like this to you more than ten years later. Such an emperor is not a wise ruler after all. There is no need for us to serve him. It's not worth it!"
Yue Linlang consoled.
"I'm not sad, I just feel a little regretful that my leisurely days are gone!" Ruan Qingqing's eyes deepened, "As for the emperor of Yunqing Kingdom, he is indeed not worthy of our service! So I want to revitalize Momen and let Momen stand proudly above the nine countries. No one dares to touch us easily!"
"The last great master wanted to fight for power with the Murong family, which almost led to our Mo Sect being massacred. At that time, I was actually a little dissatisfied with the former great master. He ruined all our good days.
Now it seems that the former tyrants did not necessarily want to seize power, but only did so to protect themselves. After all, the Mohists of the past were so amazing that it was hard for people to ignore them. The prestige of the Mohists of the past was very high, because they really helped the common people solve various inconveniences in life, so that the common people in some places only knew about the Mohists and not the court. So they got in the way of the superiors, and that’s why all these things happened later.”
Zhuge Hong sighed.
"This time, I hope you can learn from the lessons of your predecessors and revitalize our Mo Sect!"
"Yes, I will!" Ruan Qingqing promised solemnly.
"It should be different this time. Who is as good as our giant? He can farm, make tools, and cook all kinds of delicious food." Yue Linlang said proudly.
"Our master is also the first person who always stands with us. With such a benevolent person leading us, we don't have to worry about our Mo Sect not being able to rise!" Lu Dunren said with admiration on his face.
"Miss Ruan..." Chase came back from outside.
"What's wrong?" Ruan Qingqing turned to look at him, "Did you get any bad news?"
Chase nodded solemnly, "The Emperor appears to be ignoring you, but secretly he has sent experts from the Imperial Palace to search for you and try to get rid of you!"
"It's said that if you can't get it, you will be destroyed. It seems that your Yunqing emperor is no exception!" Old Shi spat out the last bit of bone in his mouth and said nonchalantly, "It's a pity if a girl with such good cooking skills is killed. Your Yunqing emperor is not kind-hearted. I will go and cure him when I have time."
As Ruan Qingqing listened, she couldn't help but feel a warm current flowing through her heart, and her whole body felt warm from the inside out.
"Thank you, Mr. Shi, for your kindness, but you don't have to interfere in this matter. I can handle it myself." Ruan Qingqing refused without thinking.
"What? Are you looking down on me?" The silver-haired old man Shi frowned his snow-white eyebrows again and again.
"No, this is a feud between me, Mo Men and Emperor Yunqing. There is no need to involve you. Just be your miraculous doctor who is not tainted by the world!" Ruan Qingqing explained.
"You still don't believe me! Humph, no one can throw dust on me right now!" Old Shi was so angry that he threw his sleeves and left.
