The pet career of Shaoqing of Dali Temple

Chapter 158 Looking for the drug thief, should I kill or keep?
The boy who led the way left.

Only Qing Moyan, Ru Xiaonan and Xuanyu were left in front of the forest.

The others were sent out by Qing Moyan.

Looking for targets in this deep forest full of resentment, it is not that the more people the better.

Qing Moyan didn't want his manpower to be lost in such a place.

Ru Xiaonan snapped her fingers and called out Stupid Dog.

Xuanyu walked over with an old medicine basket in his hand, "This is what the medicine picker used to use."

Ru Xiaonan asked the stupid dog to sniff the medicine basket, "Let us find the medicine picker." She ordered.

The stupid dog spun around excitedly, then ran away wagging its tail.

The three followed closely.

There are hidden dangers everywhere in the deep forest, but with Ru Xiaonan, she can always find out what is wrong in advance and lead them to avoid all kinds of traps.

In the distance, a few thatched huts are exposed in the forest.

The stupid dog stopped and sniffed around.

Ru Xiaonan was afraid that the stupid dog's barking would disturb the people in the cottage, so she called it back to her side.

The three of them cautiously approached the hut, and found that it was actually a temporary residence for a herb picker.

Being able to live in this kind of place, even Ru Xiaonan couldn't help sighing secretly about the hard work of these herb pickers.

Living in a place full of death all year round, even an onmyoji cannot live to old age without incident, let alone these ordinary people.

A herb picker came out of the thatched hut, looked up and saw Qing Moyan and the others.

However, to their surprise, there was no panic on the man's face.

"You are here to find Xuan Han, he is no longer here." The herb collector said to them with a cold attitude.

Xuan Han was the name of the herb picker whom Mrs. Du asked them to kill.

"Do you know where he is?" Ru Xiaonan asked.

When the herb picker saw Ru Xiaonan, his eyes were a little dazed.

In fact, people who see Ru Xiaonan for the first time on the street will be attracted by her cute appearance, especially her eyes, which are like fine emeralds, making people reluctant to look away after seeing her.

"Where is Xuan Han?" Qing Moyan stepped forward to block the sight of the herbal picker, "He took away Mrs. Du's things, you should know what will happen to him, right?"

The herb collector fell silent.

"Did he escape?" Ru Xiaonan stuck out her small head from behind Qing Moyan.

Obviously, when Ru Xiaonan questioned her, the herb picker didn't reject her.

"Yes, he left here last night."

"Do you know where he went?" Ru Xiaonan asked.

The herb picker frowned, "Are you going to kill him?"

"It's still hard to say now." Qing Moyan interrupted.

Ru Xiaonan looked up at him unexpectedly, they all agreed to Mrs. Du's condition, did Qing Moyan have other plans?
The herb picker smiled wryly: "If you can find him, you'd better kill him. For those who betrayed Mrs. Du, this is the happiest way to die."

Mrs. Poison, as the name suggests, if the person who betrayed her falls into her hands, one can imagine what kind of abuse they will receive in the end.

"Understood, we will try our best to make him die unconscious." Qing Moyan said expressionlessly.

Ru Xiaonan knew that Qing Moyan was not joking, but it sounded a little heartless.

"Xuan Han went to find that woman." The herb picker murmured, "He went to steal things for her sake."

"Woman?" Ru Xiaonan and Stupid Dog pricked up their ears at the same time. Is there an inside story?
"That woman was abandoned in the forest by Mrs. Poison. She threw all unnecessary garbage here, saying that it was to fertilize the land and grow better medicinal materials..." the herb picker said selfishly He got up, "Because the woman's blood was dirty, she was as useless to Mrs. Du as trash. She didn't even bother to kill her, so she was directly thrown into the woods."

"She was picked up by Xuan Han. If Xuan Han hadn't used the medicinal materials here to nurse her, she would have died long ago, but her blood has always been dirty. Only the medicine mixed with old dried ghost grass can save her. ..."

"So Xuan Han stole Mrs. Du's things because of that woman?" Ru Xiaonan asked.

The herb picker said with a wry smile: "Anyway, this is his own choice, and he can't blame others."

Even if the woman could be saved, so what, Shifang Town is the world of Mrs. Du, no matter where they escape, they can't escape the word "death".

I believe that even this herb picker is very clear about his future destiny.

The herb pickers who became Mrs. Poison will never get out of here until they die... Then their corpses will become the soil here and become the nutrient of medicinal materials.

Qing Moyan took Ru Xiaonan to the woman's hiding place.

"I always feel a little pathetic." Ru Xiaonan sighed.

Qing Mo's face is expressionless, there are too many pitiful and deplorable things in this world, if he will soften his heart for this, then he will never be able to make things happen.

According to what the herb collectors said, the woman lived on the back of a deep mountain ridge, where the terrain is high and there is less miasma, but the road is more difficult to walk.

"There!" Because of the rugged mountain road, Ru Xiaonan sat on Qing Moyan's shoulder majestically, and she pointed to a high slope, where there was a simple thatched hut.

When everyone walked towards the hut, Ru Xiaonan quietly grabbed Qing Moyan's sleeve: "Are you really going to kill that Xuan Han who stole the medicine?"

Qing Moyan didn't answer her question, but put her hand on her head.

The three of them came outside the house, and Ru Xiaonan heard a woman crying from inside the house.

The probe looked into the house.

A woman with scars all over her face knelt on the ground, covering her face and crying softly.

"Don't be like this... listen to me..." A man in his 40s stood opposite the woman, dressed like a herb picker, "As long as you use dried ghost grass to make the medicine, your blood will be clean. "

He took out a small wooden box, bent down and put it in front of the woman, "Look... I finally stole it, it's a finished product, just mix it with your medicine."

The woman stared at the wooden box in his hand with wide eyes, reached out her hand to touch it, but retracted her hand when she was about to touch it.

"You stole from Mrs. Poison, you're crazy, she won't let you go!" the woman cried.

"It doesn't matter, as long as you take the medicine, I will take you out of here." Xuan Han's face is full of joy, "I have been here as a herb collector for more than 30 years, and I am very familiar with this place, I will take you out , when we leave Shifang Town, you can go wherever you want..."

The woman stopped crying, and the hopeful light in her eyes was quickly replaced by fear on her face.

"You return the things." The woman cried and advised, "Is it too late to go back now? Return it to Mrs. Poison...or she won't let us go!"

Outside the thatched hut, Ru Xiaonan secretly looked at Qing Moyan, he stood there quietly listening to the conversation between the two in the room, with no intention of doing anything at all.
