Chapter 189 - 189 Shen Yao Is the Most Important!
189 Shen Yao Is the Most Important!
“This dragon bone is a common medicinal ingredient. Any medicine shop should have this medicinal ingredient.” Immortal Crane put down the pen in his hand and explained seriously, “Compared to dragon bone, snow grass is even harder to obtain.”
“The snow grass is usually picked in summer and autumn. It’s already winter, so I wonder if there’s any snow grass nearby?”
“Senior, can you draw the appearance of the Snow Grass? This way, it will be easier for me to find it.”
“Of course.”
After obtaining the snow grass drawing, Ji Zhao’s confidence doubled.
Just as she was about to set off to find this herb, Zhao Lanhua brought Shen Yao to the county city. In less than an hour, the mother and son had already prepared all the necessary items.
Ji Zhao piously knelt in front of the statue of the local god and sincerely begged, “Earth God, please bless me and help me find the snow grass!”
By 3pm, Ji Zhao carried the bamboo basket and walked out of the Shen family’s courtyard.
The snow on the road was a little thick. When one’s footsteps landed on it, it would actually make a sound.
Fortunately, Ji Zhao was prepared. She wore a pair of sheepskin boots, so she could smoothly shuttle through the ice field.
Due to the harsh weather these few days, Shen Dashan made the decision to stop the matters at the Earth Temple for three days.
Therefore, when Ji Zhao passed by the Earth Temple, she did not notice anyone else.
However, when she was halfway up the mountain, she heard a commotion.
Ji Zhao subconsciously held her breath and slowly lay on the snow, concentrating on the Earth Temple not far away.
The surroundings were quiet. The only thing Ji Zhao could hear was her own heartbeat.
Until—
A sharp and shrill sound almost broke through the clouds. Only then did Ji Zhao slowly take small steps towards the direction of the Earth Temple.
At this moment, the other villagers of Shanghe Village also heard this sharp and strange sound. They followed the direction of the sound and ran to the vicinity of the Earth Temple.
“There’s… there’s a ghost!” A fat woman suddenly rushed out with her head in her hands, almost sending the villagers who were watching the commotion flying!
“Ghost… There really is a ghost!”
Ji Zhao walked forward and recognized this fat woman.
“Why are you here?”
The fat woman in front of him was actually the daughter-in-law of Old Pan, whom Madam Xie later married!
“Ghost… There’s really a ghost…” The fat woman was clearly frightened. In the end, she closed her eyes and completely fainted!
“Quickly send someone to get a doctor and get someone to call our village chief and the village chief of Pomegranate Village!” Ji Zhao hurriedly shouted. At this moment, the restless crowd gradually calmed down.
Ji Zhao thought for a moment and turned to leave.
Now was not a good time to be kind. She had to find the snow grass as soon as possible. Otherwise, what would happen to Shen Yao’s leg?
To Ji Zhao, Shen Yao was the most important person in the world!
After searching for an entire three hours on the back mountain, Ji Zhao finally found the snow grass.
However, when she walked down the mountain happily, the atmosphere in the entire village became strange.
“Are we really going to stop the Earth Temple project?” In the Shen family’s courtyard, Zhao Lanhua hurriedly grabbed Shen Dashan’s arm and asked anxiously.
“Old Pan’s daughter-in-law from Pomegranate Village insisted that our village’s temple was haunted. Someone with ulterior motives found out about this, which led to the current situation!”
“Haunted?” Zhao Lanhua spat angrily. “What’s in that Old Pan’s daughter-in-law’s head? That Earth Temple worships the Earth God! How would ordinary demons and monsters dare to approach?”
“She, on the other hand, actually dares to spout nonsense in the Earth Temple. Isn’t she afraid of biting her tongue!”
“But I don’t understand. Why should we believe her nonsense?” The more Zhao Lanhua thought about it, the angrier she became. “No, I have to look for Uncle Huzi. I have to ask him why we should stop the project at the Earth Temple.”
“Lanhua, don’t be angry first. Can you wait for me to finish speaking?” Shen Dashan grabbed her arm anxiously. “That daughter-in-law of Old Pan is obviously here to cause trouble. How can Uncle Huzi not see it? It’s just that the New Year is coming. If she makes a big deal out of it, can the villagers of Shanghe Village still have a good New Year?”
“But building the Earth Temple is Ah Tao’s recent wish. Besides, the money has been given. Why should we stop just like that? Do we have to admit defeat just because of Old Pan’s daughter-in-law’s foul mouth? No, I can’t take this lying down!”
“Father, Mother.” Ji Zhao hurriedly walked into the central room and took off the basket on his back. Then, she looked at Shen Dashan and asked curiously, “Father, why did that fat sister-in-law say that there are ghosts in the Earth Temple?”
“Did she see it with her own eyes?”
“Ah Tao, there’s news from Pomegranate Village that Madam Pan Wu has been possessed. That’s why she suddenly has a high fever and can’t stop convulsing.” Zhao Lanhua quickly explained, “That Madam Pan Wu sneaked in when there was no one guarding the Earth Temple today. I didn’t expect her to insist that she saw a ghost.”
At this moment, no one could be sure if Madam Pan Wu was lying.
“If we can prove that she didn’t see a ghost, then the rumors will collapse on their own, right?” Ji Zhao thought seriously for a moment, and finally whispered a few simple words into Zhao Lanhua’s ear.’
“Wonderful!” Zhao Lanhua could not wait to give Ji Zhao a thumbs up. “Ah Tao, you’re amazing! With this method, we can definitely expose Madam Pan Wu’s lie!”
“Mother, I found the snow grass. Where’s Shen Yao?”
“He went to see Immortal Crane,” Zhao Lanhua explained with a smile. In the end, she handed the heater in her hand to Ji Zhao, whose hands were red from the cold. “Ah Tao, warm your hands first.”
“Thank you, Mother!”
“Mother should be the one thanking you,” Zhao Lanhua said gratefully. “Actually, I can feel the obvious change in Third Brother recently. He’s no longer as cold as before.”
Zhao Lanhua could feel the warmth coming from her third son’s body, so she was grateful to Ji Zhao from the bottom of her heart. “Ah Tao, I’m really glad that you became my third son’s wife. I’m even more glad that such a good daughter-in-law is actually from my family!”
“Mother, you flatter me.” Ji Zhao waved her hand humbly.
On the other side.
Immortal Crane carefully tidied up Shen Yao’s pants and finally handed him a pair of scissors.
“Do you want to cut it yourself or should I do it for you?”
“Where?” For a moment, Shen Yao felt a chill.
In the end, Immortal Crane had no choice but to squat on the ground and cut his pants with a pair of scissors.
