Chapter 279: Spiritual Grass Powder
Old Zhao sighed and said, “Isn’t it because they heard that we had buried some gold and treasures before, and they want to get them?”

“What gold and treasure do we have? When we were arrested, all our property was confiscated and we left with nothing.” Old Gu said with melancholy.

Seeing their dejected looks, Lu Jueyu felt that she was no different from those people. She is nice to them because she wants something from them. She felt ashamed at the thought.

At this time, she remembered her grandfather’s words, “Xiao Yu, before asking others to be sincere toward you, you must show your sincerity first. If you treat others well because you want to get something from them, then you will only get a shallow relationship in return, and this kind of relationship never lasts. A sincere friend is more valuable than countless treasures.”

“Grandpas, I’m sorry.” Lu Jueyu said softly with a lower head.

After hearing what she said, the old man was confused and said, “Girl, why do you say you’re sorry? It’s not your fault.”

“Old Su is right. On the contrary, we should thank you.” Old Zhao said with a smile.

Lu Jueyu looked at them and said, “Grandpa, I’ll get you some oral medicine later. You may have suffered some internal injuries, which cannot be cured with these ointments. ”

“There’s no need to trouble you. It’s dangerous for you to come to visit us, so it’s better if you don’t come. We don’t want to cause trouble to you and your family.”

Lu Jueyu took out the food and clothes from the bamboo basket and said, “I will be careful. Now, you should take a rest first. Here are some food and clothes I made for you.”

“Girl, we really appreciate your help.”

Lu Jueyu heard the footsteps and said, “Grandpa, I’m leaving. Hide these things.”

After saying that, she quickly left the pig pen. Not long after, a young man sneaked into the pigpen carrying a bundle. Lu Jueyu hid behind the tree and was surprised when she saw the man’s face.

“Isn’t that Houzi? What is he doing here?” she muttered softly.

Lu Jueyu was afraid that something would happen, so she waited until Houzi left the pigpen before returning home in deep thought.

On the way home, she tried to recall the information about Houzi in the original plot. In the novel, the author does not explain how Pan Meijia saved Xiao Yiqing every time she ran into trouble in the black market.

As for Houzi, Pan Meijia only mentioned him once when she was recounting her regrets before she died. But after arriving here, Lu Jueyu discovered that Houzi and Pan Meijia were cousins, which also explained why she knew so much about the black market’s situation.

So how did Houzi himself get that confidential information? Logically speaking, each middleman should have its own connections within the government. Perhaps Houzi is also associated with people in the military or government. He risked his life to sneak into Xie Village and find those old men, maybe because it was related to the situation in the capital.

Although this world is very similar to her previous world, it is a parallel world after all. So, there was a possibility that the political situation in this world is different from her previous world. If that were the case, it would be difficult for her to predict the future because history would be different as well.

When she got home, Lu Jueyu still couldn’t figure out why Houzi appeared in that place. If she had finished reading the novel, she would not be as clueless as she is now. It’s a pity that she only read to the point where the hero marries the heroine.

Thinking of the old man’s injury, she quickly went to her bedroom and entered her own space. She just remembered now that she won the grand prize at the QQ Farm event a few years ago. Since this event is a collaboration between QQ and Xianxia-themed games, the grand prize is a bag of spiritual grass seeds.

Descriptions in the spiritual grass are said to heal any internal and external injuries while also improving health and prolonging life. When she received her in-game rewards, she bred the seeds and grew a large number of the spiritual grass because she thought she could sell it to the store and earn money.

Unfortunately, she couldn’t sell it to a store or make any products with it, so the spiritual grass just kept accumulating in the warehouse.

Entering the warehouse, she took some dry spiritual grass and ground them into a fine powder. Then, she went to her room to get a few bottles of Yunnan Baiyao, and mixed a little spiritual grass powder into them. After that, she left her space and went to the pig pen.

When she arrived at the pig pen, she saw the old men were already working. They should have rested, but the current situation did not allow them to rest. Lu Jueyu quickened her pace and walked towards Old Gu.

When Old Gu saw her coming back, he asked in a low voice, “Girl, didn’t we tell you not to come back? Why are you here again?”

Since it was already afternoon, Lu Jueyu was afraid of being seen by the villagers, so she quickly handed Old Gu a few bottles of Yunnan Baiyao and said, “Grandpa Gu, you can take these medicines. Remember to take them orally and use them on your open wounds.”

After saying that, she turned around and left without looking back.

Old Gu looked at the medicine in his hand and quickly hid it in his clothes. This medicine can only be bought in the capital, and it is very expensive. The girl gave them the medicine without hesitation, and he would be lying if he said he wasn’t moved.

After returning from the pigpen, Lu Jueyu went to her space. Inside the warehouse, she was standing in front of a barrel of tonic wine. She hesitated for a moment and finally poured the powder into the barrel.
