”Move your brain, they can subdue Blue water python, but we are helpless against them, which means that if we were to fall out, we will all be met with misfortune, do you understand?”
”Understood, Village Chief.”
”When you do something in the future, think it over carefully. As a man, don't fuss over the matters of money. The places that shouldn't be saved cannot be saved, and the places in the province absolutely cannot be wasted. Otherwise, it would be hard for me to hand over the position of village head to you.”
”Come, let me toast all of you. Many thanks to all of you for solving the problem of the Blue water python for me.” The price of this kind of mission, ten thousand gold coins, was truly a little low, but the villagers were not rich either, and these gold coins were collected from house to house.
It had already been a month since the mission was released, and the Old Village Head had basically given up on doing so. He knew that the 10,000 gold coins was way too little compared to the Blue water python.
Those who could complete this mission were either the Saint realm expert or their team-mates. As for the Celestial domain Rankers, the Old Village Head didn't even think about them.
Saint realm expert?
The Saint realm expert was revered by all the families, if they wanted anything, they would only give more. They would never lack money, so how could they accept such a small mission?
And the mercenary group?
Relying on teamwork to destroy the Blue water python would consume too much energy, 10,000 gold was still not enough. It was not worth it, not worth it!
Hence, it was normal for this quest to go unattended!
And the villagers themselves?
That was an impossible task.
Therefore, Old Village Head was extremely grateful to Fei Yu and the others.
”Old Village Head, no need to be so polite.” said. Towards this Old Village Head, Fei Yu admired him a lot.
Fei Yu had heard the conversation between Old Village Head and A Mu clearly!
Cough cough …
Old Village Head was bold, raising his head! Cheers! Unexpectedly, there was a fit of coughing!
Hm?
Fei Yu understood immediately. The old were weakened, and their bodies had regressed!
Seeing that the Old Village Head is not bad, let's treat him!
”Old Village Head, are you feeling well?” Fei Yu asked.
”He's old. He's weak and weak, and he's coughing and gasping for breath.” The Old Village Head said with emotion. He did not know why, but in recent years the physiques of the villagers had become weaker and weaker.
”Can I see it?” Fei Yu asked.
”What do you think? Are you a priest?” Old Village Head asked.
”My family's inherited technique, extend your hand.”
”Here!” He just sat beside Fei Yu and stretched his hand out.
Just now, by just looking at his complexion, Fei Yu had already roughly understood the situation in the Old Village Head.
It was normal yet abnormal. From the looks of Old Village Head, he should be around sixty to seventy years old, and according to his age, it was normal for his body to be a little weak. But it was so weak that it became abnormal.
But no matter how Fei Yu inspected it, even if he used the spiritual consciousness, he could not find anything abnormal about Old Village Head's body. Other than his weak body, everything else was very normal.
Moreover, all sorts of indications indicated that the Old Village Head's diet was very regular, and not just malnutrition. So what was the cause of his weakness?
”Old Village Head, since when did you feel that your body was abnormal?”
”It's been a while, about a dozen years!” Old Village Head said.
”Haven't you invited anyone to take a look after all this time?”
”I've seen it. I've hired a few Priests, but there's still no sign of improvement. Not only me, the entire village is doing the same.” Speaking to here, Old Village Head frowned.
”The entire village?” Fei Yu was shocked. If it was the entire village, then it would not be a small matter.
”That's right!” It's been more than ten years, and I don't know when it started, but the physiques of the entire village started to decline, and I still can't find any reason? ”
”Give me your hand!” Fei Yu then inspected the few people around him, and in the end, without exception, all of them, whether male, female, old or young, had this kind of body weakness.
This kind of body weakness was not fatal, but it had a significant impact. If a normal adult's strength was 10, then the person with this body weakness would only be 8, and their lifespan would be shortened considerably.
This was by no means a natural phenomenon, but what was the cause?
”Old Village Head, this is an illness, I can treat it but I have yet to find out the reason. In other words, I can make you all healthy, but once you stop my treatment, you will continue to weaken.” Fei Yu said. This disease could be relieved temporarily with the method of 'nourishing', but the root cause could not be eliminated before Fei Yu found the reason.
”What kind of treatment is it?” Old Village Head asked.
”Drink some herbs.”
”Is it the medicine used by the alchemist?” Medicine? Old Village Head had only heard that there was a medicine in alchemist, he thought to himself that it might be that kind of medicine!
”More or less.” Explaining was too troublesome, so Fei Yu could only mumble.
”Trouble?” Old Village Head had heard that the refining process of the medicine was extremely complicated and had some strange methods.
”It's no trouble at all. I'll just have a few big pots, then use a few plants on the mountain to boil the pot with water.” Fei Yu said.
”That's good, that's good!” Hearing that it was made out of grass, the Old Village Head was not surprised. If the alchemist had to use normal things, then that would be suspicious!
Furthermore, there was almost no cost to make it from the grass on the mountain. The villagers could afford it, or else they would know the method. However, the cost was too high, and the villagers could not afford it.
As for being cheated?
Old Village Head had thought about it, but he couldn't think of a reason why Fei Yu would lie to them.
Besides, he could choose a few volunteers in the village to try them out. After proving that they were safe and effective, he could then vigorously promote them!
On the second day, Fei Yu brought a few strong young men up the mountain.
The prescription was not complicated. It only had seven flavors: Lycium barbarum, Glycyrrhiza uralensis, Angelica... And so on seven kinds of traditional Chinese medicine.
Right now, Fei Yu wanted to teach these people so that after Fei Yu left, they could properly gather the herbs and gather the decoction s for their village to treat their illnesses.
”You must remember, this is a two-meter-tall, branched, slender arched branch, with an edge and often thorny plants. The above berries are called medlar. Do you understand?” While picking the herbs, Fei Yu explained to the few youths.
”I've remembered it clearly!”
”Then, your name is A Qing?” Fei Yu asked.
”Yes, sir!”
”You arrange for people to gather some for me to inspect.”
”Yes sir!” However, after a while, a few youths each picked a handful of berries. Most of them were right, and only a few of them were unclear.
One had to know that these were all things that could save people. If the wrong medicine had no effect, then it was a small matter. If it had a side effect, then he would be a doctor that could save people.
Furthermore, these were common herbs. As long as he didn't make any mistakes when harvesting, there wouldn't be any problems!
Before these few youngsters came out, they were warned repeatedly by the village chief that they must follow Fei Yu's orders and do well.
As a result, the young lads were quite diligent in their work. In less than half a day, they had already memorized seven medicinal herbs, and no one would ever recognize the wrong herb again!
Noon, the baskets were already full!
Hm?
Right at this moment, Fei Yu suddenly discovered that there was an ambush behind a rock not far away!
”Do you remember all of these herbs?” Fei Yu asked.
”You remembered it?”
”Just remember this. Any other questions?” Fei Yu asked.
”No more!”
”Alright, you guys go down the mountain first. I still have some matters to attend to, so I'll be back in a bit.”
”Sir, do you need our help?” A Qing said.
”No need, you guys go back first.”
”Yes.”
After the few of them left, although Fei Yu knew that there was an ambush ahead, he still walked straight towards the ambush circle, until he arrived at the edge of it.
However, Fei Yu just happened to be standing there, causing the few people who were lying in ambush to feel itchy in their hearts.
Hehe, it's been hard on you all. There's no need to hide anymore. Sensing that the people who were lying in ambush had their auras in chaos, Fei Yu sneered.
”You are indeed incredible, to have been discovered by you. Good, brothers, come out!” A large man jumped out from behind the boulder and said.
”Who are you people?” Fei Yu asked.
”You don't have to care who we are. We only came here to tell you one thing.” The big man said.
”What do you mean?”
