The Sword Lord ascended to heaven with his beauty, but his original wife who died early was revived!

Chapter 2: Forced people to death

Fu Qingyu didn't care what Fu Dashan and Fu Sun thought.

In front of the two of them, she picked up the basket of pigweed in the yard and went straight up the mountain.

Fujia Village is located at the foot of the mountain. On the way back, she saw potato vines drying in front of someone's house. There was also silver needle grass that was regarded as pigweed in the Fu family's yard. She guessed that there was something she wanted on the mountain. thing.

Two of the four main herbs used to refine Turtle Breath Pill are Yam Vine and Silver Needle Grass. Whip Heart Flower grows near Silver Needle Grass. Even if the remaining Wu Tan Si cannot be found, other ingredients can be used. Herbal alternatives.

Fu Qingyu has been dealing with spiritual herbs since she was a child. Before she learned how to read, she first learned to identify medicinal materials.Before she reached the age of [-], she could already identify tens of thousands of spiritual herbs. Looking at the entire Eastern Continent, there were only a handful of people who were more knowledgeable than her in this field.

Among the four main herbs, potato vine is not considered a magical herb. It is found all over the mountains and plains. The conditions for its use in elixir training are a bit more demanding. It must be a new bud grown from a vine that has been growing for more than ten years.

This made it difficult for Fu Qingyu to pick five buds that met the requirements before she reached the halfway point of the mountain.

However, her body was recovering from a long illness and was still very weak. After walking for a while on the mountain road, Fu Qingyu was already obviously tired.

Compared with Turtle Breath Pill, the top priority is to find some herbs to nourish the body. Otherwise, even if she finds the four main herbs, she may not have enough physical strength to support the completion of a furnace of pills.

This body has not been cultivated and cannot withstand too strong medicinal power. Fu Qingyu's goal is some mild and peaceful herbs.

There are many medicinal herbs growing on the mountain behind Fujia Village. Although they are of low grade, they were preserved because they did not meet anyone who knew the goods. She even found a yang moxibustion herb that was hundreds of years old.

The exposed part of this grass looks exactly like weeds that can be seen everywhere, but the rhizomes buried underground are treasures. They are often called "little ginseng". They are the most warming and tonic. They can be added to meals and fed to restore health. It should be consumed by young children who have not yet begun to practice.In Dongzhou, families with a lot of money are willing to buy food for their children.

A century-old yang moxibustion grass like this could be sold for at least ten spirit stones.

One spirit stone is equivalent to ten spirit beads, and it takes 100 taels of silver to exchange for one spirit bead.

This Yang Moxibustion Grass alone is worth 1 taels of silver!

It's equivalent to...the money of selling a corpse a hundred times.

Yuda could exchange the elixir for silver and easily make up for the 100 taels she owed the county government, but she couldn't pay Dashan and Fusun so cheaply.

A piece of yang moxibustion grass worth ten thousand taels, after a simple preparation, she chewed it and ate it all.A warm current rose up in his belly, and the warmth flowed to his limbs, and most of the previous fatigue disappeared instantly.

Fu Qingyu picked up the bamboo basket again and walked up the mountain.

Before the night deepened, I gathered together the silver needle flower, whip grass, and two other herbs that could replace Wutansi, and found a dry and sheltered cave to stay temporarily.

Fu Qingyu didn't have any of the alchemy furnaces or fires needed for alchemy training.

She used a rattan bowl made of potato vine and silver needle root as a "stove", and then used firewood as a fire.

The rhizomes of potato vine and silver needle grass contain a faint spiritual energy. The rattan bowl is far less effective than the alchemy stove, but it is more effective than stone pots and iron pots.

Three portions of medicinal materials were used to refine a total of seven Guixi Pills.

The quality is not as good as Turtle Breath Pill, but it is enough to hide it from the eyes of Fujia Village and those sent to collect the corpses.

Fu Qingyu lay down in the cave with her clothes on and had a good night's sleep.

At the bottom of the mountain, Fu Dashan and Fu Sun didn't sleep all night. It was already dawn and Fu Qingniang hadn't come down from the mountain yet. They were as anxious as ants on a hot pot.

"Isn't that dead girl running away?" Fu Sun gritted her teeth.

"No, this is the only way in and out of the back mountain. If she goes down the mountain, we will definitely see her." Fu Dashan is not worried about people escaping under his nose. What he is afraid of is that Fu Qingniang will hide in the mountain for too long. If nothing else, there are wolves in this mountain.

"Oh, what an evil!" Mrs. Fu Sun slapped her thigh, "The county government will not accept a corpse that was bitten by a wolf and disfigured!"

"Qing Niang is alive and well, what can I say?"

Fu Dashan glanced at Mrs. Fu Sun and sighed, "It must be that we suddenly proposed marriage yesterday and frightened Qing Niang, so she hid in the mountains."

"I guess she wants to hide until the deadline given by the county government passes..." Fu Dashan shook his head and stood up, "This is not possible. She is a girl living in danger in the mountains. I will go to the village chief's house to find more people to go into the mountains to search. .”

After saying that, he walked out. Before he crossed the threshold, he paused, turned back to Mrs. Sun and said, "Go to Mr. Zhou's house and ask him to send some people. When your mother finds her, let them pick her up directly." Let's go back."

*
When Fu Qingyu reached the foot of the mountain, she met a team entering the mountain to look for her.

The worry on Fu Dashan's face suddenly turned into joy.

He hurried up to meet him, with a hint of fatherly reproach, "You kid, you don't know how to go home even after dark. Do you not know the way down the mountain at night? Your mother and I were so worried that we didn't sleep all night. Go home with your father quickly, he will ask your mother to cook you two eggs to calm your nerves..."

Fu Qingyu caught a glimpse of the dark green eyes of Fu Dashan.

It's true that I stayed up all night worried.

But what worries her is not her safety, but whether the 100 taels of silver will fly.

"It's okay, just take Qing Niang down the mountain quickly."

A group of people descended the mountain in great force.

Fu Dashan's house was at the foot of the mountain. Before they got close, everyone saw a small sedan parked outside the courtyard, with several sedan bearers dressed better than the villagers standing guard.

In the open courtyard door, Mrs. Fu Sun was talking to a woman with a silver hairpin.

The villagers coming down the mountain stopped one after another.

It is no secret in Fujiacun that Mr. Zhou wants to take Qingniang as his concubine for his short-lived son.

Is this... someone sent by the Zhou family to pick up Qing Niang?
She had just been carried back from the county government at noon yesterday, and she was going to be married off as a concubine early this morning. No wonder Qing Niang would rather run up the mountain than go home at night.

What a crime.

Fu Dashan was a little embarrassed to be looked at, but he didn't want to cause trouble at this time. He took two steps quickly, cupped his hands towards the woman in the courtyard, and asked pretending to be confused: "Is it Aunt Wang from the Zhou family? Are we I met at the county government yesterday...why did you come here today?"

Grandma Wang replied with a smile: "I heard that Miss Fu is weak, so I specially sent us to take her back early so that she can be nursed back to health by a doctor."

Fu Dashan: "Master Zhou is still thoughtful. I originally wanted to keep Qing Niang for a few more days... But since it is for Qing Niang's own good, I'd better go to Zhou's house earlier." Grandma Wang snorted in her heart, but still smiled on her face. Without losing interest, he took out the banknote he had prepared from his sleeve and handed it to Fu Sun. He turned around and made a gesture of invitation to Fu Qingyu.

"Miss Fu, can you get in the sedan?"

Fu Qingyu took a step back, her eyes skipped over Grandma Wang and landed on Fu Dashan and Fu Sun, "I said yesterday that I would not marry. It seems that you didn't listen to what I said."

"Fu Qingniang." Fu Sun waited for Fu Qingniang fiercely, "I am your mother, and you must marry me if I ask you to!"

"Qing Niang, stop making trouble and let Grandma Wang and the uncles in the village see the joke."

Fu Dashan advised: "The Zhou family is a wealthy family in the county. You are lucky to marry into the Zhou family."

"Master Zhou had more than a dozen concubines, and seven or eight of them died. Master Zhou took in less energy and released more energy. I don't know if I was here to celebrate or to be buried with him. I give you this blessing, do you want it?"

These are what Fu Qingyu heard on her way back from the county office yesterday.They thought she was asleep, but she kept her eyes closed and listened.

"Is it true that in your eyes, my life is not as important as that 100 taels of silver? No matter if I sell my body dead or alive as a concubine, as long as I can be sold at a good price?"

Fu Dashan: "Qing Niang, there is nothing we can do. The 100 taels from the county government..."

Fu Qingyu sneered and interrupted, "Don't say it's not the case. The county government's hole of 100 taels has to be plugged by selling me, right?"

Fu Dashan lowered his head and said no more.

"Okay, I can plug this hole."

When Fu Dashan heard this, he raised his head in surprise.Mrs. Fu Sun also stopped yelling and looked at Fu Qingyu in surprise.

Fu Qingyu: "You are the parents of this body. You gave her life. I can plug this hole, but from now on, just treat me as giving this life back to you. In the future, life and death will have nothing to do with happiness or misfortune. You Is it acceptable?"

Fu Dashan subconsciously felt that something was wrong, but Fu Sun was the first to speak, "Admit it, what's the point of not admitting it? As long as you pay the 100 taels to the county government and walk out of this door, you don't have to call us father and mother!" "

Fu Qingyu nodded, "That's it."

Carrying the bamboo basket on her back, she walked into the courtyard gate and walked straight to the leaky roofed room belonging to Fu Qingniang.

Fu Dashan rubbed his hands and explained to Grandma Wang, "Qing Niang may want to go in and pack two pieces of clothing."

Grandma Wang ignored him. It seemed that this girl from the Fu family had a stubborn temper and needed to be trained well after she returned home.

Fu Qingyu didn't care what people outside the house thought. She took out the things prepared in the bamboo basket and hid them in the house according to their directions. Then she used the spiritual power she finally gathered that night to create a magic spell.

The things that were hidden just now turned into wisps of smoke, drifting from Qing Niang's hut to the entire yard.

This is a big gift she prepared for the Fu family.

After she leaves, everything the Fu family gained from Fu Qingniang will be lost exponentially.

The corner of Fu Qingyu's mouth curled up slightly, and she walked out of the house, her hands empty, and the backpack behind her had been removed.

Grandma Wang didn't understand what was causing the fuss. She winked at the bearers and stopped in front of the door calmly. She asked with a smile on her face, "You can leave now, right?"

Fu Qingyu looked at her strangely, "Who said I want to go with you?"

The smile on Grandma Wang's face froze.

Fu Dashan had a bitter look on his face, and Fu Sun opened his mouth to curse.

The villagers stretched their necks to watch the excitement.

Fu Qingyu had a panoramic view of everyone's expressions, her eyes passed over the banknotes clenched in Fu Sun's hand, and she smiled at the corner of her mouth, "Who said that the only way to solve the 100 taels is to sell yourself as a concubine?"

Fu Dashan had a bad intuition, "Qing Niang, what do you really mean?"

Fu Qingyu didn't answer his question. She raised her right hand and revealed what she had been hiding in her sleeve.

It's a piece of grass with a strange purple tip.

The villagers who recognized it were shocked, "It's the Soul-Destroying Grass!"

"It will kill you if you eat it!"

Grandma Wang's face changed drastically, and she said hurriedly: "Stop her quickly."

Fu Dashan, Fu Sun and several bearers rushed over at the same time.

Fu Qingyu dodged and climbed up to the roof, swallowed the whole grass in one gulp in front of everyone inside and outside the courtyard, looked down at the dumbfounded Fu Dashan and Fu Sun below and said, "I would rather die than I won’t marry someone as a concubine.”

"One hundred taels of silver, one corpse."

"Please return this body to the county government."

"Remember, a life for a life, Fu Qingniang will have nothing to do with you from now on."

The slender figure stood on the wall, like a cold plum in the snow, looking proud and willing to die rather than surrender.

The vitality gradually disappeared from her face, her body went limp, and she fell off the wall, hitting Fu Dashan and Fu Sun.

The two were afraid that the body would be damaged, so they held it firmly with their arms.

Looking down again, those black and white but lost eyes reflected their ugliness.

Outside the hospital, the people in Fujiacun finally came to their senses and raised their voices in fear.

"Life is dead!"

"Fu Dashan and his wife forced Qing Niang to death!"
