In the future, Earth becomes a relic of the mythical era.

Chapter 416 Immortal Grass
"Stop making sarcastic remarks!"

A man dressed in a short, animal-skin coat, revealing his muscular arms, squatted down beside Xie Zhen, his face full of anxiety.

"Ah Zhen is already like this, do you have any conscience at all?"

"Hey, you can't say that. We didn't say anything..."

"Okay, okay, stop talking."

At this moment, an old man stepped forward.

This is Lian Baijin, the village elder, who is essentially the person in charge of the village.

Lian Baijin suppressed the discussion and said, "We should get a doctor to examine Zhenwa as soon as possible."

"Uncle Baijin, it's not that we're unwilling, but all the doctors here are from the Medicine King Sect, and the Medicine King Sect is not easy to invite."

"That's right, that's a place where immortals are born. The threshold for hiring them is even higher than that of the government. How could we possibly afford to hire them?"

Everyone said.

Lian Baijin cursed, "I didn't tell you to go and invite a celestial being!"

"We can't just sit idly by and do nothing about Zhenwa's condition. Let's all chip in, those with money contribute money, and those with strength contribute strength, and see if we can go to the Medicine King Sect to invite a doctor to take a look."

"Do you really want to just stand by and watch Jenny die like this? Aren't you afraid of being laughed at and gossiped about behind our backs?"

Several people lowered their heads after he scolded them.

What are you still hesitating about?

The burly man, in a fit of anger, stood up and said, "At worst, I'll pay you back, even if it means working my second son! I'll do anything to repay you!"

"That doesn't mean..."

The people were only hesitant; they didn't not want to save the person.

These days, no one is well-off, and some even go hungry for two meals in three days. How easy is it to come up with some spare money?
If this money were to be taken out, it wouldn't just be a matter of going hungry for two meals.

However, since lives were at stake, they did not hesitate for long.

They all wanted to contribute money.

Even those who were initially reluctant couldn't bring themselves to follow the crowd.

They each called their own bosses back to fetch the silver.

"Get out of my way!"

At this moment, Xie Lingxin squeezed in.

"Fool?"

Someone saw him and said, "What are you doing here causing trouble? Go home right now!"

Many people shook their heads.

With Xie Qi gone, the mentally challenged boy that the Xie siblings brought back probably won't survive either.

"Fool?"

Suddenly, the second brother took two steps past the crowd, grabbed Xie Lingxin's shoulders with his large hands, and shook her excitedly: "Save Ah Zhen! Save Ah Zhen!"

The villagers were all taken aback.

At this moment, a burly man who looked very much like Lian Lao Er came over and grabbed him: "Lao Er! Are you out of your mind? How can he save someone?"

The second brother exclaimed excitedly, "Big brother! He's the one who saved Aqi! Aqi was almost dead when he came out of the snake demon's belly, and he's the one who saved him! You saw it yourself!"

Even the eldest brother's expression changed slightly: "What nonsense are you talking about! I think you've really lost your mind in this panic!"

She forcibly pulled him back, glared at him fiercely, and gave him a meaningful look.

Even the second brother didn't understand, but his trust in his eldest brother kept him quiet. However, he still kept looking at Xie Lingxin with pleading eyes.

Old Master Lian said, "Uncle Baijin, the dew is heavy here. I'll take Ah Zhen back first. Ah Qi's body can't just be left like this."

Even the old and shrewd Bai Jin had already sensed something was amiss, but he didn't expose it. Instead, he helped cover it up by saying, "In that case, you two brothers should send the person back first, and send a few people to help. Go with the same group that went to hunt the giant snake last time; you're strong."

"Everyone else, those who have money, prepare it first. I'll go and fetch a doctor."

Seeing this, the crowd felt a little strange, but with their limited knowledge, they had no choice but to accept it.

Seeing the village elder and the Lian brothers' behavior, Xie Lingxin figured there must be a reason behind it.

By this time, he had also clearly seen the situation of Xie Zhen and Xie Qi.

Xie Qi is indeed dead.

Although Xie Zhen was seriously injured, her life was not in danger for the time being.

They didn't rush to rescue them, and together they carried the Xie siblings back home.

To everyone's surprise, once they arrived at the Xie family's residence, they were settled in.

The eldest son of the Lian family immediately knelt down before him.

"Bang! Bang!"

"Please, immortal, save us! Please, immortal, for the sake of Aqi and Azhen's many days of offerings, help us!"

His head banged loudly.

Seeing this, even the second brother belatedly knelt down, his head hitting the ground even harder than the eldest brother's.

The others were startled by what they saw.

However, they were all hunters who were lucky enough to survive the hunt for the giant snake, and they also witnessed how Sheqi survived.

This naked man who emerged from the snake's belly pulled out a jade bottle, dripped a drop of water, and Xie Qi recovered.

When they escaped from Shekou, still shaken, they didn't even think much about where a naked person had pulled out the jade bottle, or where he had hidden it.

Seeing Boss Lian's actions, he finally realized what was happening.

They all joined in kowtowing.

Xie Lingxin frowned: "What are you doing? I'm not an immortal, get up."

"Immortal! Please save Ah Zhen! If you don't save him, I won't get up!"

The second son kowtowed even harder.

The eldest brother stood up decisively and forcibly pulled him and the others up as well.

"Whatever you say goes. Please, for the sake of our past relationship, save Ah Zhen."

Xie Lingxin glanced at Boss Lian.

This man may look rough, but he's actually very thoughtful.

"You don't need to tell me, I was originally planning to save them anyway."

Xie Lingxin shook her head: "With all your shouting, I couldn't save you even if I wanted to. It's just a waste of time."

Even the eldest brother looked embarrassed.

Even the second brother grinned foolishly.

Xie Lingxin ignored them, took out her clean bottle, and poured out a drop of nectar.

There wasn't much nectar left in his vase, only about ten drops.

It's definitely not enough for cultivation, but it would be good to keep it as medicine for injuries.

As the dew dripped down, Xie Zhen's complexion instantly regained its color. She let out a soft moan and slowly opened her eyes.

"Ah Zhen!"

Everyone was both surprised and delighted to see this.

This fool is truly an immortal! Otherwise, how could he possibly possess such a miraculous elixir?

No, we can't call him an idiot anymore!
"Sister Zhen!"

Even the second brother and others gathered around.

"I...how..."

Xie Zhen had just regained consciousness and was still a little dazed.

Before long, he remembered his situation.

His eyes immediately turned red.

"Brother Lian, Second Brother Lian...my brother!"

The eldest brother quickly said, "We know, don't get agitated, your injury has just healed."

"Yes, Ah Zhen, don't worry, we'll take good care of you even without Aqi!"

Everyone said one after another.

Xie Zhen was even more heartbroken by what was said, and tears rolled down her cheeks like beans.

"Why are you all getting involved?"

The eldest brother waved his hands and said, "Alright, everyone's awake now. Don't crowd around here. There's still a lot to do. Go get to work and let Ah Zhen get some fresh air!"

The crowd had no choice but to disperse.

Even the second son was driven away by him.

"Fairy..."

Even the eldest brother originally wanted to call him an immortal, but hesitated for a moment because he thought Xie Lingxin might not like it.

"My name is Xie Lingxin."

"Your surname is also Xie?"

Even the eldest brother was startled and blurted out.

Xie Lingxin glanced at Xie Zhen, who was lying on the bed sobbing, sighed inwardly, and said, "I am Xie Qi and Xie Zhen's brother, my own brother."

Even the eldest brother opened his mouth.

When did the Xie family have a brother like this?
Do you want to see what you're saying?
You two don't look even slightly alike.
Xie Lingxin turned around: "What? Doesn't it look like it?"

"It looks...it looks just like it!"

The eldest brother nodded repeatedly.

At this moment, Xie Zhen heard his words and turned around: "You... are you Ah Sha?"

When Xie Lingxin's body and soul merged, no one knew who he was. He was both foolish and idiotic, and the Xie siblings could only call him that along with everyone else.

Xie Lingxin smiled and said, "It's me."

"You... why aren't you stupid anymore?"

Xie Zhen's attention was momentarily diverted, and the pimples on her face finally stopped rolling.

"I'm not stupid."

Xie Lingxin asked, "Ah Zhen, tell me, what exactly happened?"

A single sentence brought Xie Zhen back to reality, and the beans rolled down again.

"My brother..."

Xie Zhen was, after all, a woman of some backbone, unlike ordinary peasant women; otherwise, she wouldn't have been able to carry the corpse to the authorities.

She suppressed her grief and sobbed as she recounted what had happened.

"My brother found a job at the drug administration office..."

The eldest brother standing next to him suddenly changed his expression: "Archie became a drug slave?!"

Drug slave?

Xie Zhen glanced at Xie Lingxin, her eyes darting away, and remained silent.

Even the eldest brother realized what was happening and shut his mouth.

Xie Lingxin, however, understood the implication.

It turns out that the two siblings, who claimed they were going to gather herbs to fill their stomachs, were actually becoming so-called "medicine slaves."

Just from the title, you can tell it's not a good job.

Xie Zhen lowered her eyes and said, "Although being a medicine slave is not easy, at least we still get paid. At first, my brother was familiar with the mountains, and the two of us were able to complete our daily tasks together."

"I had to take care of Ah yesterday..."

She glanced into Xie Lingxin's clear eyes and swallowed the fool's words back: "My brother went first, and later..."

She pursed her lips so tightly that all the color had vanished.

"When I arrived later, my brother was already... They said he had fallen from the mountain, but a medicine servant who was my brother's friend secretly told me that my brother had discovered a magical herb,"

"He originally intended to take it back to the Imperial Pharmacy and hand it over. A single herb is quite valuable, and the officials there would surely reward him handsomely with a large sum of money."

"But somehow a herb master from the Medicine King Sect found out about my brother's discovery of the herb. He colluded with the medicine inspector to confiscate the herb and even killed my brother! He fell off the mountain, but they claimed he died from the fall!"

"My brother's close friend happened to be climbing halfway up the mountain to collect herbs at the time. He heard it with his own ears and saw it with his own eyes!"

"They're the ones who killed my brother!"

"Damn it! Hateful!"

The eldest brother let out a low growl and slammed his hand on the corner of the table.

The corner of the table was missing a piece, just like a piece of tofu.

Xie Lingxin glanced at it.

It wasn't too surprising.

He had long ago discovered that most of the hunters in the village possessed some level of martial arts skills.

Otherwise, they wouldn't have survived the hunt for the giant python.

"how about you?"

Xie Lingxin asked in a deep voice, "Why were you injured?"

Xie Zhen bit her lip and cried, "I went to the county government to file a complaint, but the magistrate didn't believe me and beat me up..."

"Ah..."

She suddenly grabbed Xie Lingxin's sleeve, her eyes glistening with tears: "Can you save my brother?"

She knew that her brother had been swallowed by a giant python and almost died, but it was Ah Sha in front of her who saved him.

Even though I was beaten to a pulp, I don't feel any pain now, so he must have healed me.
