Chapter 86 The Woman in the Mountain
Qinzhou, Governor’s Mansion.
"Reporting to the prefect, the magistrate of Qinglan County under the jurisdiction of Dongjiang Prefecture, led his troops to conquer evil things, and was killed by evil things. The details are as follows..."
The governor of Qinzhou pondered after hearing this. After a moment, he nodded:
“I understand, it just frees up a position to fill the vacancy. I don’t know how many people are eyeing this position.”
The staff on the side couldn't help but ask: "Prefect, after all, the head of a county was killed by an evil thing. Logically speaking, we should send troops to destroy the evil thing entrenched here and protect the country and the people."
"Now is the time. What's going on in the world?" The governor couldn't help snorting:
"The state capitals are too busy to take care of themselves. Yesterday alone, there were seven major events that required the state to send troops."
"The state. The manpower cannot be lost anymore, there is no need to sacrifice more manpower for the willfulness of a county magistrate."
Today is no longer a peaceful age, and many of the established practices in the past are no longer suitable for the current environment.
.........
In the next few years, Xu Ke's dangerous place was considered calm.
Occasionally, some ignorant people came to seek death, and Xu Ke also generously sent them to the west.
And as time passed, people everywhere finally took a breather. In just a few years, the population grew explosively.
It has faintly recovered to the peak number a few years ago.
At this point, Xu Ke also tried to use his consciousness to control the body trapped in the county government.
[The current control authority is 47%]
As his strength increases, although he still cannot affect the state of his body.
But he seemed to be able to gradually sense the magic weapon buried in his body.
“Is it possible that when the control authority reaches a certain level, we can turn against customers and control the evil magic weapon buried in the body?”
In addition to the bodies buried deep in the county government office, the magistrate of Tianhu County is still the hands-off shopkeeper.
His policy is an 'offline system' that is more extreme than the constitutional system.
I don’t see the county magistrate going to court even once a year.
Everything was delegated to the new county magistrate. Ordinary people even forgot what the magistrate looked like.
But when it comes to the new county magistrate, the people of Tianhu County praise him.
Compared with his colleagues and predecessors around him, this new county magistrate is as clear as water and as bright as a mirror.
As soon as he took office, he used fair and aboveboard means to use his power to overwhelm others, and separated the two monolithic systems of police officers and jailers.
Pop one group at a time and successfully cultivate some of his cronies and capable subordinates.
After having his own team, he began to break up with some wealthy families and wealthy businessmen, control prices, and limit the speed of land annexation.
They even expanded the official warehouse and raised the price of rice appropriately during good years to prevent low prices from hurting farmers.
During disaster years, the rice in the official warehouse is sold to stabilize rice prices and avoid starvation due to skyrocketing rice prices.
Logically speaking, the county magistrates in other counties are the second-in-command in the county and are far less powerful.
If you do things like this, there is a high probability that the county magistrate will be afraid of you. If you find an excuse, you can be directly dealt with.
But who allowed the magistrate of Tianhu County, Shenlong, to remain silent, which happened to allow the county magistrate to carry out his own actions at will.
Thanks to this, Tianhu County has become a famous Feng Shui treasure land in the surrounding area.
Not only is the transportation developed, the water network is dense, and the fish and rice are plentiful, but the most important thing is that there is no harsh government.
People from all over the country who could not survive came to Tianhu County with their families.
At the same time, Li Siping, who has turned sixteen, has become a true doctor.
Probably it means a doctor who specializes in treating inhuman things.
In addition to all kinds of evil things in dangerous places, he also often goes to haunted places in Tianhu County every day.
Over time, everyone thought that Li Siping was a Taoist priest who had the ability to save the dead.
So Li Siping simply followed the trend and opened a shop dedicated to saving the dead.
Anyway, most of the undead are not actually guilty of any serious injustice. They are just unable to escape because of obsessions or poor feng shui in a certain place.
So Li Siping’s little diagnosis and treatment really allowed many ‘innocent’ inhuman things to rest in peace.
On this day, Li Siping went to the barren hills outside the city to pick medicines and replenish his small medicine storehouse.
Because most of the medicinal materials he needed were not available in medicine stores, he had to go to the mountains to pick them himself. After working hard for a long time, Li Siping finally returned with a full load and was about to go down the mountain.
But suddenly I heard a cry for help coming from the mountain stream.
Looking through the sound, it turned out to be a slender and tall woman, leaning against the boulder and calling for help.
Li Siping hurriedly walked through the steep mountain road and came to the woman's side.
I happened to find that the other party's leg seemed to be injured, and his clothes had been soaked with blood.
"Girl, are you in serious trouble? Do you need help?"
The woman said softly in a gentle tone:
"This Young Master, I am a commoner who fled to Tianhu County with my uncle.”
“It’s just that I encountered robbers on the road, and my uncle died to protect me, leaving me alone to escape here, accidentally. I broke my leg and can’t walk anymore..."
Upon hearing this, Li Siping hurriedly took out some herbs from the basket behind him.
"Girl, this medicine can stop bleeding and relieve pain, and can also help wounds heal."
"You can chew it into pieces and apply it to the wound."
Although Li Siping is only good at treating inhuman things.
However, through hearsay and influence, some common diseases can be slightly treated.
The woman took the herb, hesitated for a moment, then put it into her mouth and took a bite. She couldn't help but frown slightly:
"Well...it's so painful."
"Young Master, let's do it. Chew it for me.”
Is it bitter? Logically speaking, this medicine should have a slightly sweet taste and no bitter taste...
Furthermore, Li Siping was also worried about the incompatibility between men and women, so it would be inappropriate if he chewed it himself.
So I had to take two pebbles, crush the medicinal herbs slightly, and apply them on the woman's legs.
Tear off another piece of clothes and bandage the woman's wound.
"Girl, see if you can get up and try to walk?"
The woman stood up and tried it, but her legs still hurt unbearably.
"Sir, those robbers are nearby. If you don't leave quickly, your life will be in danger if you are caught by them..."
Li Siping couldn't help but panic when he heard this. He hesitated before saying:
"Okay, I'll see if I can make a 'spring stool' to pull the girl away."
"It's too late. Otherwise, the young master will flee back to the city behind my back."
"Huh?" Li Siping also looked embarrassed when he heard this.
The other person looks like she is only sixteen or seventeen years old, and she is a woman of the same age as herself.
If it is carried behind the back, it is inevitable that it is not a skin-to-skin relationship...
"Master, please do not hesitate, your life is at stake. Saving one life is better than building a seven-level pagoda."
Thinking of this, Li Siping did the same. Gritting his teeth, he threw the medicine basket aside and squatted down with his back to the woman.
The woman had a playful smile on her face, and then lay down behind Li Siping.
The skin of the two people touched each other, and Li Siping, who was teasing, couldn't help sweating on his forehead.
I had no choice but to start descending the mountain in a hurry. It would be better to get back to the city as soon as possible.
"Master, I am not very heavy. Why do you seem to be sweating from exhaustion?"
"It's not heavy, it's not heavy."
That's true. To be honest, I don’t know what this woman grew up on. Not to mention thin, her body is surprisingly light-boned.
Carrying it lightly behind your back, weak and boneless...
"Cough cough cough."
Li Siping had no choice but to abandon his distracting thoughts and quickly carried the other party near the city gate.
He handed it over to the officers and soldiers guarding the city gate, and gave an overview of what happened to the woman.
