Nine-thousand-year-old palm flower is not easy to mess with

Chapter 172 Eavesdropping on the Corner
These men suspected that they were not drug dealers, but looking at the behavior of Chu Lian and Yao Suyu, they looked like officials and ladies.

The villagers who went to inspect the carriage came back soon, and he reported to the tall man in charge: "It is indeed full of medicinal herbs. They are not liars."

However, the tall man still had doubts about them.

Just as he was hesitating, a woman who was hiding beside him and crying secretly stepped forward.

She beat the man's chest: "When is this?! It doesn't matter if he is an official or a businessman, as long as he can get medicine to save the child, he will be the benefactor of our village!"

This remark aroused the approval of other people in the ancestral hall.

Seeing that everyone else said that, the tall man had no choice but to compromise.

He turned around the group of people with vigilant eyes, and then said: "You can stay overnight, but you have to keep the medicinal materials."

Yao Suyu just wanted to answer, but was stopped by Chu Lian.

Chu Lian bargained: "We are merchants, so it's okay to distribute some of your medicinal materials for emergency. If you withhold all the medicinal materials, wouldn't it kill us?"

Just now the woman who persuaded the tall man hurriedly interjected: "It won't take much... It's just that the children in the village are infected with the disease. A little bit of each medicinal material will relieve the urgent need."

The tall man didn't object to the woman's words.

Seeing that the woman's words seemed to be effective, Yao Suyu ignored Chu Lian's obstruction and took the initiative to stand up:
"The baby's illness is the most important thing. The dosage of medicinal materials must be considered. The medicine is three-point poisonous. If it is used too heavily, the child's illness will not be cured, and new diseases will be added;
If it is used too lightly, it will not be effective.May I ask if you have a doctor you can trust? "

These words sounded pleasing to the ears, the woman raised her tearful eyes to look carefully at the young lady who had been guarded by the man just now.

She saw that she was too young and tender, with a weak temperament, not like a doctor who practiced medicine.

The woman withdrew her eyes in disappointment, shook her head and said, "If there is a doctor you can trust, you won't make such a bad move—"

When she said this, she immediately realized that she had slipped her tongue.

The tall man was also worried that what she said would make outsiders suspicious, so he quickly gave her a wink: "Yingniang, take them down to rest first."

Yao Suyu wanted to stand up and show that he was a doctor.

But Chu Lian just shook his head slightly at her, signaling that she couldn't speak right now.

Although Yao Suyu didn't know why, but he knew that he was good at planning and planning, so he swallowed the words that came to his lips.

Unexpectedly, the villagers were so wary that Yao Suyu and his party had no choice but to leave with Yingniang first.

Yingniang took them to her home.

She forced herself to tidy up a room for them, "The incident happened suddenly, and I have wronged several benefactors."

"Dare to ask this sister, why didn't you invite a doctor to come to the village to treat the child?"

Now that the tall man was not by her side, Yao Suyu asked tentatively when she saw that Yingniang was not very wary of her.

"Please doctor? Those doctors in the capital used to treat the dignitaries, how could they come to our small mountain village? Even if they came, how would they try their best to treat them?"

Thinking of the faces of those imperial doctors, Yingniang wished to eat their flesh raw.

Her tone was full of hatred, "I invited you here, and after randomly prescribing medicine, I said that the child is hopeless. How can we, parents, not be chilled?"

Speaking of this, Yingniang wiped the corners of her eyes, refused to say any more, and turned to go to the ancestral hall.

After Chu Lian entered the room, he looked at the layout of the room.

Everyone else was settled, he was in the same room as Yao Suyu.

He vaguely noticed a figure by the window, and knew that it was a villager sent to eavesdrop, so he asked Yao Suyu, "What do you think about this?"

"Just now why did you stop me from telling them that I am a doctor?"

Yao Suyu didn't realize that there were people outside at this time, she sat down on the kang, her brows and eyes were full of anxiety: "If they are allowed to mess around, those children will really be hopeless."

"Even if you say that you are a doctor, they may not believe it."

Chu Lian shook his head, he was well versed in human nature.

The more you take the initiative to deliver it to your door, the more suspicious you will be.

It was very suspicious to show up in this remote mountain village with a large amount of medicinal materials in the middle of the night.

If you take the initiative to reveal your identity as a doctor, wouldn't you be throwing yourself into a trap?
"It's true that the children in this village are pitiful, but I see those villagers are vicious, and they don't seem like good people. We'd better protect ourselves wisely."

Hearing Chu Lian's words, Yao Suyu was taken aback for a moment, and then came to his senses.

Someone must be eavesdropping at this time.

She pretended to be regretful and said: "I'm just sorry, saving a life is better than building a seven-level pagoda."

Next, she deliberately only talked to Chu Lian about the price of this year's medicinal materials.

Seeing her seriousness, Chu Lian really regarded himself as the lady of a medicine merchant, and a little smile appeared in his eyes unconsciously.

When Yao Suyu spoke dryly, he handed her a cup of tea, "They have already left."

"They're really wary."

Naturally, he took a big sip of the tea that Chu Lian brought to his mouth, but just as Yao Suyu swallowed it, he realized that something was wrong with the tea, "This tea is a bit sour."

"Maybe it's Chen Cha."

Even so, Chu Lian knew that if Yao Suyu could taste abnormal tea, there must be something wrong.

"But poisonous?"

He looked at her nervously. Could it be that this group of villagers still fiddled with the tea?

"Hard to say."

Tasting the taste of the tea carefully, Yao Suyu frowned slightly, "It doesn't look like poisoning, the problem seems to be in the water."

As soon as she finished speaking, she saw Chu Lian picked up the tea she had just drank and took a big sip.

This move shocked her, "What are you doing? I'm a doctor, so naturally I don't need to worry, but you're not—"

"I don't feel sour."

Seeing her worrying about him so much, Chu Lian's heart felt warm.

He put down the tea, "Even if it's really poisonous, why would you watch me die?"

"You know how to handle people. The doctor is benevolent. Naturally, I won't just watch you die in front of me."

Glancing at him, Yao Suyu knew that the tea was useless to them, and had nothing to do with the high fever of the children in the village, but now that the situation was pressing, she didn't have a clue for a while.

The villagers who were eavesdropping on the corner outside the house just now ran back to the ancestral hall.

He told everyone the news he had eavesdropped, that the tall man was able to maintain his composure, but the other villagers exploded.

"That lady-like figure is actually a doctor!"

"The temperament is weak, but it is somewhat reliable."

"Why don't you hurry up and invite me to treat the children?"

Yingniang was also in a hurry, she thought of the frail woman's curiosity about the children's illnesses in the village just now, so she quickly grabbed the tall man's hand:

"Husband, I think that lady is kind-hearted. Instead of letting us make up medicines indiscriminately, why don't we ask her to help me?"

Seeing that the crowd was making a fuss and the situation was out of control, the big tall man stopped them with a sullen face.

He turned to look at the villagers he had arranged to eavesdrop, "Is what you said true? Did you hear me right?"
