"Thank you, Childe Zheng, for sending the medicine to us. I'm Yue Zhengzixiu. May I ask if Childe Zheng knows where these bees came from?"
"Zheng Yuan." Zheng Yuan couldn't stand being called Childe Zheng, so he shook his head honestly and said, "I don't know."
Hmm?
It was rare for Yue Zhengzixiu to be speechless.
The other party's answer was too short. He asked a few more questions, but the other party just shook his head and looked at him expressionlessly.
Yue Zhengzixiu became more and more nervous. He was afraid that his words would offend the other party, so his tone became more and more euphemistic.
In the end, he didn't dare to ask any more questions. He could only point to the pile of strange things and ask, "What were you wearing just now? Can you tell me something? "
Zheng Yuan thought for a while. Although he felt that Yue Zhengzixiu had too many questions, he really didn't know, so he could only continue to tell the truth, "I don't know. It can be used to ward off bees."
Yue Zhengzixiu was probably used to being abused, so he only noticed the word "ward off bees". His eyes lit up and he asked eagerly, "What kind of cloth is this made of? I think it's not an ordinary material. "
Zheng Yuan, who was asked a question that he didn't know, shook his head habitually.
To be honest, his knowledge of cloth was limited to the extent that he could distinguish cotton, linen, and silk.
As for the rest, he really couldn't tell him.
Yue Zhengzixiu didn't continue to ask questions. Instead, he picked up a small bag of insect repellent powder.
After opening it, he was stunned.
Inside were small fist-sized balls that smelled faintly of medicine. They didn't look very impressive and were even a little crudely made, which was different from what he had imagined.
But the truth was that he had to believe it.
When he helped Yue Zhengzixiu take off the clothes, he had taken the opportunity to secretly touch the cloth.
Although the material was a little tougher, it definitely couldn't withstand the attack of those wasps.
Therefore, the real secret was probably these medicine balls.
He weighed it for a while, and then said respectfully to Zheng Yuan, "Please teach us how to use these things."
Zheng Yuan's spirits were lifted when he mentioned this.
One person's ability to transport things was limited.
Lin Mengya had also considered the situation that there would be a large number of people, so this time she gave them the concentrated medicine.
Insect repellents were different from insecticides. As long as the medicinal properties were used properly, it could still last for a period of time.
In fact, Lin Mengya planned to get through the most dangerous days first.
Once those wasps reached the end of their lives, that would be the most difficult stage.
At that time, it was time for her to make her move.
Zheng Yuan also brought news of her this time, but he took advantage of the time when everyone was attracted by the miraculous insect repellent to secretly deliver the letter to Yue Zhengzixiu.
The latter was also taken aback. Then, he pretended that nothing had happened and kept the letter.
Zheng Yuan saw that his mission was completed and was about to leave when he was stopped by someone.
"Young Master Zheng, please wait!"
Zheng Yuan turned around and saw a small old man with a goatee.
The man's face was full of anxiety, but his eyes lingered on the bee-proof suit.
"What's the matter?" Zheng Yuan asked.
The small old man with a goatee rubbed his hands and asked, "I have a presumptuous request. I would like to borrow your bee-proof suit. I wonder if it's possible?"
Hearing this, Zheng Yuan subconsciously tightened his grip on his bee-proof suit with a serious face.
In his mind, such a good thing could only be shared with family and friends that he approved of.
The others could not even think about it!
However, the small old man with a goatee did not give up. He even wiped the corners of his eyes and begged, "I know I'm making things difficult for you, young master, but I have several children at home. I really can't let go of their safety."
"Young Master, please allow me on account of my benevolence. I will never forget your great kindness!"
Everyone thought, "Eh — this small old man with a goatee is so scheming!"
Everyone knew that the "children" at home were all tall and strong. There was no need for a small old man like him to worry about them.
It was obvious that the other party wanted to use the bee-proof suit to send medicine to their family first!
However, everyone had their own selfish motives at this time, so they did not expose him. Instead, they secretly hoped that if Zheng Yuan agreed, they would be able to follow suit in the future.
Unfortunately, their calculations were wrong.
Zheng Yuan did not even bat an eyelid and straightforwardly rejected the other party.
He was even afraid that the other party would ask a second time, so he ran out of the house with his bee-proof suit and put it on in the courtyard.
He was covered with insect repellent, so he was not afraid.
However, the small old man with a goatee was afraid!
In the end, he could only grit his teeth and stomp his feet on the ground with an unwilling look on his face.
All of this was seen by the Yue Brothers.
Yue Zhengzitan had a sarcastic look on his face.
He had long known that the aboriginals were selfish.
When the Yue Zhengs encountered great changes, this group of people either watched with folded arms or hit them when they were down.
If not for Aunt Qing secretly lending a helping hand, the Yue Brothers would not have survived until now, and the Yue Zhengs would have been destroyed.
Suddenly, he once again witnessed the true nature of those people.
His head was slapped by someone. When he came back to his senses, he saw his brother's disapproving gaze.
He shrank his neck and hid his true emotions.
When he thought of Aunt Qing, he could not help but think of Gong Ya.
Last night, after thinking about it, he felt that he had to clarify this matter first.
The reason why he had such doubts before was because he accidentally saw the painting that Gong Ya's eldest son had drawn.
That kid's drawing skills were not bad. Although it was only 50% similar, the outline of the woman in the painting was indeed more similar to Aunt Qing's.
In fact, Lin Mengya's facial features were not completely identical to her mother's.
It was said that daughters took after their fathers. When she was young, she looked more like her father, but after she grew up, the outline was more like her mother's.
Mo Yan's facial features were not that detailed, so the outline was more similar to his mother's appearance.
Therefore, Yue Zhengzitan, who accidentally saw the painting, looked as if he had seen a ghost.
Moreover, he was sure that Mo Yan, who was only five or six years old, had no chance to come into contact with the painting of Aunt Qing that the two brothers had secretly hidden.
At that time, he was so anxious that he even thought of taking the painting to ask Gong Ya what their purpose was.
Until Mo Yan came back and excitedly asked the person next to him if the painting he had drawn for his mother was similar.
After getting an affirmative answer, Yue Zhengzitan's heart was in a mess.
Yes!
Aunt Qing's daughter who "unfortunately passed away" was called Lin Mengya.
And Gong Ya's name also had the word "Ya" in it.
Moreover, when he was collecting information outside, he heard that the head of the Gong family was sent away when she was young and only returned to the Gong family when she was an adult.
All the information matched.
That was why he was in such a mess.
Ever since he found out that Lin Mengya might be Aunt Qing's daughter, the guilt in his heart had not dissipated for a day.
Now, he could not help but think of his group of children, old and young, and did not know if they could survive.
At that moment, he quickly grabbed the two bags of insect repellent on the table, walked quickly to Zheng Yuan, and pleaded in a low voice, "Childe Zheng, can I ask you for a favor?"
Zheng Yuan's face immediately tensed up.
It was the same ancestral beginning again. It was over! They were here to borrow clothes from him again!
However, Yue Zhengzitan knew that he had misunderstood and hurriedly explained, "I'm not asking you to borrow this set of clothes. I just want to trouble you to help me deliver these two bags of medicine to the Gonggong family's master. Oh, yes, the first one at the end of East Street! "
After saying that, he could not wait to make a promise.
"If you can help me, no matter what you want, I will do it. Please!"
He just wanted to make it up to her and reduce his guilt.
Unfortunately, Zheng Yuan did not give him this opportunity.
He pushed the bag of medicine back to him, "They have it."
Of course they did, and there were a lot of it!
After saying this, Zheng Yuan put on his mask and turned to leave.
Only Yue Zhengzitan was left standing on the spot, looking at the two bags in a daze.
Only now did he realize that Gong Ya didn't need his so-called compensation at all.
Just like this medicine, he thought that he was being kind, but with the ability of the Gong family's head and Princess Xi, how could they not be treated well by this Childe Zheng?
It had to be said that Zheng Yuan's trip was quite successful.
Based on the behavior of some of the aboriginals, if Lin Mengya or Long Tianhao had really sent people here, they would probably think the wrong thing. They might even think that they were pretending to be good people. Some of them might even think that it was a conspiracy.
But the foreign land was something that they could only hope for.
If it was sent by them, it would naturally become a kind help, or even a gift.
Lin Mengya always did not want to test people's nature, so the results were often disappointing.
Fortunately, Zheng Yuan's identity saved her from most of the trouble, and the aboriginals were more cooperative.
"Zitan, come in."
Behind him, he heard his elder brother calling out.
Yue Zhengzitan rubbed his face hard and put the bag of medicine back into his arms.
Since the Gong family did not need it, he would stay.
Anyway, he was very clear that the group of old guys would shamelessly try to get more for his family.
And he could not let his elder brother be in any danger.
.....
Fortunately, there were so many bees flying around that there was not even a shadow on the street, not to mention the spies who were always spying on Lin Mengya and the rest.
So even if Zheng Yuan swaggered back to their courtyard, no one outside knew where he and Lin Mengya came from.
This was probably the only good thing?
After Zheng Yuan returned, Lin Mengya immediately asked him to strip naked …
No! She did not mean anything else, she just wanted him to quickly soak in the medicinal bath.
