He had never thought of becoming a saint, but it was fate that they met. He could not bear to see them wait for death here.

After the jug of wine was finished, Jiang Beiran returned to the place where she had descended from the clouds and found that Ling Dang was already waiting for her.

“You are smart.” It was rare for Jiang Beiran to compliment Xia Lingdang.

Xia Lingdang lowered her head in embarrassment and laughed, replying, ‘”‘1 know that the master never leaves his name when he does good deeds, so he must have come back here.”

“What do you want to eat tonight?”

Upon hearing this question, names such as Eight Treasures Roast Duck, Kung Pao Chicken, Squirrel Mandarin Fish, Dongpo Pork, and so on instantly appeared in Xia Lingdang’s mind. Every dish made her salivate crazily.

But after swallowing a large mouthful of saliva, Xia Lingdang still replied,””I’ll eat whatever my master cooks.”

“Alright, wait.”

After a while, Xia Lingdang quietly walked behind Jiang Beiran, who was cutting vegetables, and asked,’”‘Master…I…Can I ask a question?”

“Go ahead.”

“If we arrest those villains who forced the villagers to plant flowers, can the villagers live a good life?”

“No, because if we capture this group of villains, there will be another group. They will also let the villagers grow other things.”

Xia Lingdang nodded thoughtfully after hearing that.” Master, that…” I don’t understand. Don’t laugh at me if I’m wrong. Tongguo… More powerful than the Sheng Nation

“Of course, Tong Country is much more powerful than Sheng Country.”

“But I’ve followed you to see many villages in Sheng Country. The villagers there have land to grow and food to eat. Everyone has a smile on their faces. Tong Country is clearly so much more powerful than Sheng Country…’Why…’

Why did the villagers have no way to survive?”

After examining the last patient, Jiang Beiran confirmed that the villagers were not suffering from any serious plague. They were all suffering from starvation, such as anorexia and other diseases. He only needed to prescribe two sets of medicine to nourish Qi and blood.

The most important thing was to have a good rest after that, and this good rest included a good meal.

However, for the villagers here, eating well was too extravagant.

“Thank you, Taoist priest…Thank you, Taoist priest. When I can move, I will definitely get off the bed and kowtow to you a hundred times.”

Looking at the old man on the bed, whose complexion had improved a lot, Jiang Beiran merely smiled and covered the old man with a straw mat.””Have a good rest. I’ll go and see other houses.”

“Hey!” The old man nodded and quickly shouted to a young man behind him,”Er Bing Zi, quickly send the Taoist priest off.”

“No need.” Jiang Beiran reached out to stop the young man.” You should stay here and take good care of your grandfather.’”‘

The young man immediately knelt down and said, “”Thank you for your great kindness, Taoist priest. I, Er Bing Zi, will definitely remember this kindness.” Nodding, Jiang Beiran turned around and walked out of the thatched cottage.

He looked to his left and saw that the villagers were standing far away and watching. Jiang Beiran had just told them not to come any closer.

Walking slowly to the front of the villagers, Jiang Beiran shook off the dust and asked,””May I ask who is the village chief?”

“It’s me!”

In the crowd, the young man who had led the way for Jiang Beiran stood out and shouted.

“You?” Jiang Beiran was indeed a little surprised. After all, he could not associate this young man with the words ‘highly revered’ at all.

Seeing that the Taoist priest seemed a little surprised, the young man took the initiative to explain, “My name is Big Dog! The village head was my grandpa, but he passed away last month, so I’m taking over.”

“You’re quite responsible. Not bad. Tell me, why did you come to this valley to build a village?”

The dog sighed heavily.” Taoist priest, you might not know this, but if we didn’t have no other choice, we wouldn’t have come to this kind of gully. This damn place can’t grow anything. If you hadn’t come, we would have done it…” The big dog revealed a very heavy expression as it spoke, but in the end, it changed its words and said, “We almost starved to death.”

Recalling what Ling Dang had said earlier,” They are so hungry that they want to eat their children ” , one could imagine the desperate situation these villagers were in.

Jiang Beiran didn’t probe further into the matter. Instead, he asked again,””So why are you here?”

“Oh, yes yes yes.” After saying that, the big dog looked at the villagers behind him and replied, “Our village was originally in Hong County. Although our lives are tight, we can barely fill our stomachs.”

“But one day, a man with a scar on his face suddenly came and insisted that we help to plant the Tianbalan. This was a saying used by those old cultivators. We farmers didn’t want to plant it. However, that scar-faced man said that if any of us raised this flower to death, our entire family would be buried with it.”

Jiang Beiran naturally knew what the Heavenly Eight Orchids were. They were the main ingredients of the Quiet Enlightenment Pill. Although the soil requirements were not very high, it was very precious. It required someone to accompany it all day long, or else it would wither at any moment.

The dog continued,” That flower was really difficult to raise. Soon, several families raised the flower to death. The scar-faced man executed all the families in front of us, saying that this was the result of raising the flower to death. ”

” Yes,” Jiang Beiran nodded.” I know what happened.””

Although the Heavenly Eight Orchids were not considered high-grade herbs, they were still Mystical Materials that cultivators needed. No matter how careful these villagers who had no cultivation were, they could not serve such Mystical Materials well.

Therefore, many people had died because of this flower, so many that these villagers had to escape even if they had to take a huge risk.

He turned around and walked to the thatched hut where he had been earlier. Jiang Beiran turned to Xia Lingdang, who was handing out biscuits to the children, and said,””Lingdang, come here.”

After Xia Lingdang heard that, she first told the children to wait for her here for a while, then she quickly ran to Jiang Beiran and asked,””Master, is there anything I can do?”

When Xia Lingdang asked her question, Jiang Beiran had already written a letter, folded it into a paper kite, and sent it flying.

“Tell the villagers that someone will come to pick them up later. Just follow them.’

Xia Lingdang was stunned at first, then immediately said in surprise,””Yes, master!”

When Xia Lingdang went to tell the villagers the good news, Jiang Beiran had already quietly jumped to the peak.

As the sun gradually set in the west, Jiang Beiran thought of the darkness that was about to envelop the land once again. With a sigh, he took out a bottle of wine from his Cosmos Ring.

“Gulp, gulp, gulp, ha…”

Jiang Beiran breathed out a breath of alcohol and looked at the burning clouds in the distance.

Jiang Beiran had seen many villages like this in the Sheng Kingdom, and would send them to various safe places if he could help them.

However, this was Tong Country, and Jiang Beiran could not bring these villagers back to Sheng Country.

No matter how lowly they were, they were still people of Tong Country. They would definitely not be able to cross the border with these villagers.

That was why Jiang Beiran had written a letter to Shi Jiamu earlier. He believed that with her ability, it should not be a problem for her to settle down the hundreds of villagers.

“Gulp, gulp, gulp…

After taking a few more sips of wine, Jiang Beiran wiped his mouth.

He had never thought of becoming a saint, but it was fate that they met. He could not bear to see them wait for death here.

After the jug of wine was finished, Jiang Beiran returned to the place where she had descended from the clouds and found that Ling Dang was already waiting for her.

“You are smart.” It was rare for Jiang Beiran to compliment Xia Lingdang.

Xia Lingdang lowered her head In embarrassment and laughed, replying,””l know that the master never leaves his name when he does good deeds, so he must have come back here.”

“What do you want to eat tonight?”

Upon hearing this question, names such as Eight Treasures Roast Duck, Kung Pao Chicken, Squirrel Mandarin Fish, Dongpo Pork, and so on instantly appeared in Xia Lingdang’s mind. Every dish made her salivate crazily.

But after swallowing a large mouthful of saliva, Xia Lingdang still replied, Il eat whatever my master cooks.”

“Alright, wait.”

After a while, Xia Lingdang quietly walked behind Jiang Beiran, who was cutting vegetables, and asked,’”‘Master…I…Can I ask a question?

“Go ahead.”
