Forgotten Legend of the Bloodied Flower

They were at the lowest bottom of people during this era. The higher ups only cared whether there was still food being delivered as part of the taxes. The farmer and villagers couldn’t do anything but to accept that they could do nothing but to follow through the arrangement.

And when there were problems they couldn’t solve, they reported it only to have to wait for such a long time.

It was tiring.

But they couldn’t do anything under the complete control of those people. They needed the medicine distributed to them in order to control the gu inside their body so that they could stay alive.

If they ran away, they will die within a month’s time because of the gu and poison within their body.

It was very miserable.

“What do you expect us to do?” Village Head Min asked, his voice slightly hoarse.

“I know it’s not easy to believe in another kingdom so fast.” Long Qian Xing tilted his head. “But at the very least, I can assure you that Fei Yang Kingdom will never use gu and poison to the villagers.”

There were actually only a few villages in Zhang Xu Kingdom that were subjected to this kind of treatment. It was mostly because they needed to ensure that Zhang Xu Kingdom would not be lagging behind other kingdoms and some areas that was close to their secret will have the villagers being controlled.

This area was included.

Because they were close to Lin Family Mountain where there were many special herbs growing.

Other kingdoms will never use this kind of method to control their villagers. It was because they knew that such strict control will only make the villagers rebels in the end. And they were also not going to restrict the lives of so many people.

There were too many people around, which would make it too difficult to control them all.

“I know, I heard that.” Village Head Min had longed for this area to be conquered by other kingdoms. Even if they might not be treated much better, but other kingdoms wouldn’t use the poison or gu to control them.

But unfortunately, it was nothing more than pipe dream.

With Lin Family Mountain and also other cities nearby, it was impossible for Zhang Xu Kingdom to let them off. They could only work as hard as possible in order to have a chance to get out someday.

Who knows how many decades had passed and how many generations suffered and could only cling onto the nonsensical hope.

“Can you really treat us?” Village head Min asked.

“Yes.” Long Qian Xing turned to look at Nan Hua, who was nodding her head. He knew that she could hear their conversation even from that distance. “She’s a good doctor who can help you.”

Village Head Min turned to look at Jun Hua, still hesitating.

“You can try with one first.”

“Alright, try with my body.” Village head Min took a deep breath. “At the very least, I can’t put my villagers in danger.”

Long Qian Xing nodded and appreciated this Village head Min even more. Even though he was only living in such a remote village like this, but he had such a good principle and would not put his villagers in unnecessary danger.

It was rare for a leader who cared for their people so much to exist in the world no matter which era it was.

Tep.

Nan Hua Jumped down the horse and walked towards the village head. She stretched her hand and assessed Village Head Min’s pulse before taking several needles and also a bottle of alcohol. This was specifically prepared by her in case she needed to do anything that was related to medical operation.

The alcohol was not as perfect as it was in many centuries later, but this was already the best that could be provided with the limited methods here.

“Please relax,” Nan Hua said and used the needles to pierce several acupuncture in Village Head Min’s body. After that, she took out a knife and slashed the tip of Village Head Min’s finger as blood along with something long and slimy came out.𝞸𝑽𝗅xt.𝐜𝒐𝗆

The process didn’t even take more than 10 breaths of time and everything was done.

“That’s…” Village head Min was stunned.

“That’s the gu.” This was not Nan Hua’s first time seeing the gu. When she was dealing with Feng Ao Kuai’s cousin back then, she had already seen them and knew their uses and function.

It was just that she never wanted to raise them by herself.

They were disgusting.

She would rather use other normal poison to control people rather than using this gu.

“So fast?” Village head Min felt that he was dreaming. This was so fast that he didn’t think it could be possible. For so many years, he already felt the pain for having that gu inside his body.

Now, he’s free.

Tears welled up at the corner of Village Head Min’s eyes, but he held himself back from crying. He took a deep breath and looked at Long Qian Xing. “General Xing, I hope you can help the other villagers.”

“I can but I hope that I can take your words for cooperation next,” Long Qian Xing said with a smile.

“Naturally.”

…

It took them the entire day to go through all the villages. Shan Yu was called to help out and check out the villagers’ condition. While the gu was purged, it was also the truth that their body function was not as good as normal humans.

They would need a long time to recuperate and also some medicines, which Shan Yu could provide.

“That means I’ll be staying in these villages for the time being?” Shan Yu asked, his face darkened.

Nan Hua definitely couldn’t treat all of the villagers within such a short period of time. Those who were still healthy would have to wait their turn from Shan Yu, who would be staying here while monitoring the health of the elderly.
