Five days later, the news of the fall of Shanghai reached Qingyang. People were panicking. Many people had thought that the war was still far away from them, but they suddenly felt that it was right in front of them.
After another three days, refugees appeared on the streets of Qingyang. The rich and powerful people had been looking for a way out last month. Now, the refugees were all from small families. The poor had nowhere to go. Only when the Japanese entered the village did they take a bag and escape into the mountains.
Murong Yao did not care about these things. He was very busy and had things to do. Ever since he came back from Huitou Village, Murong Yao felt that his horizons seemed to have broadened a lot. These few days, he had been holed up in the village. He woke up in the morning and went to the Blazing Mountain to practice his martial arts. At night, he would meditate in his room. Murong Yao's way of practicing martial arts was a little wild. Yes, he did not know much about meridians. He had no choice but to look for many medical books and study hard. At night, he would occasionally help Wei Guoning with his tuition. The little guy was not bad. He was only a month old, but he was stronger than before. He did not suffer as much in his studies as before. It seemed that he had caught up with both sides.
As mentioned before, 80% of the people in Sanjia Village were from families with three surnames. Apart from normal marriages, Sanjia Village was a little xenophobic and generally did not accept people with other surnames to live in the village. However, there was one type of people that Sanjia Village did not reject, and that was craftsmen with skills. In the past, most of them were masons, carpenters, and blacksmiths. With the development of the times, some new professions and craftsmen appeared one after another. Now, there were locksmiths, watchsmiths, papermakers, and other craftsmen with various skills in the village.
Murong Yao was currently standing at the entrance of the village's largest iron shop, Zhang Ji's iron shop. Blacksmith Zhang's craftsmanship was the best in the nearby villages. He had three disciples, two of whom were his own sons. The fire in the blacksmith shop was burning brightly.
"Is Master Zhang here?" Murong Yao shouted.”Blacksmith Zhang was a lean and small man. Although he was small, he had great strength. His unique skill was that he could observe the furnace temperature from the color of the furnace with his naked eye. He could quench the furnace temperature to produce handy ironware, and he could also forge the best weapons and farming tools according to the furnace temperature.
When he saw Blacksmith Zhang, Murong Yao greeted him,""Master Zhang is busy!"
"Oh! It's the young master of the Murong family. What's the matter?"
"Master Zhang, can you make something like this?”After that, Murong Yao took out a blueprint.
"This is a cage, right?" Blacksmith Zhang took the blueprint and looked at it. Why not? It's not difficult to do it. The key is to get the Yangyuan. I don't have it on hand. I have to buy it in Wuhu.”
Yang Yuan was Yuan Steel. The old Chinese industry was backward. In this day and age, as long as something came in from the outside, it had to carry the word 'Yang'. Foreign guns, cannons, and cars. Even cement was called cement.
"There's no hurry. I just wanted to ask if you can do it? If you can do it, I know. Don't buy the materials for the time being. Wait for me to inform you!”
Murong Yao was extremely interested in the natural phenomenon that happened in the Rebirth Valley. He knew more about the principle of electricity than everyone else around him. The knowledge of the people in the country was basically zero. They often associated it with ghosts and gods. However, Murong Yao, who had transmigrated from the modern world and was now a graduate of the Physics Department of a top university in China, had his own scientific judgment about lightning. Murong Yao had enough ways to prevent lightning from striking him, but he was scratching his head as to which method to use. If he hid in a place to protect himself from lightning, he only needed a lightning rod. If the problem was to enter, he would have to move around. After thinking for a few days, Murong Yao had a preliminary idea, but it was not enough. He had to convince others!
On this day, Murong Yao finished his classes in school and hurried to Qingyang Street. Qingyang County was very small. The east and west streets were next to a river. A crossroad and a stone arch bridge. This was the most lively place in Qingyang County, and also the center of Qingyang County. After crossing the intersection, about 100 meters to the east was where Niu Yunfeng was going to build his clinic. Now that the clinic was about to open for business, the people who should come were gradually getting ready. Murong Yao walked over. There were two storefronts with two courtyards connected together. At the back was a large courtyard that was connected to each other. This place was originally a property of Sanjia Village. It had been rented out to sell goods from the north and south. Niu Yunfeng was planning to open a clinic here, so he took back the house. One of the shops sold medicinal herbs. Niu Yunfeng hired two old doctors to stay in front of the shop. In the second house behind, he left a workshop for Murong He. Niu Yunfeng considered that the clinic was mainly for treating external injuries and bruises. After all, Murong He was a lady, so he couldn't show his face in public. Plus, Niu Yunfeng didn't know much about his niece's abilities, so he could only try. Especially when it came to surgery, Murong Chi was the best choice.
Most of the medicines and equipment that Murong Chi needed had been bought. The only thing that he lacked was Western medicine. Anti-inflammatory drugs were the key. Currently, Western anti-inflammatory drugs were mainly sulfuric acid. As for the legendary godly medicine, the price in the black market was one and a half small yellow croakers for one vial of penicilin. Moreover, there was no market for it. The buyers sent by Wei Yiqu could not do anything about it. Even sulfuric acid was not enough. This was a military item that could not be bought even with money. Murong Chi originally wanted to find his school to think of a way. It was said that the school was preparing to move south to Hong Kong. Coupled with the current situation in Nanjing, there was nothing they could do.
When Mu Luyao arrived at the clinic's entrance, although it had not opened yet, people were already coming and going. Murong Yao was here to look for Niu Yunfeng, so he went to the back. Niu Yunfeng was with Niu Zheng and Murong Xi. The countdown to the clinic's opening had already begun, and he was also very busy. When he saw Murong Yao, he was about to send someone over, but Murong Yao said,""Uncle Niu, I still have classes in the afternoon.”
Niu Yunfeng sent the two of them away and turned to Murong Yao,""Yao 'er, if you have something to say, say it quickly. I'm busy!”
"Uncle Niu, I learned about the Rebirth Valley when I went to the Hui Tou Ping this time. I've also observed the situation in the Rebirth Valley.”
"No, this is a forbidden land. There's no room for discussion. Haven't you heard that entering is death?”
"I saw it with my own eyes. Isn't it just lightning? Can't we just try to avoid the lightning? Most people aren't familiar with this. I studied physics in university, so I know more about lightning than most people.”
"Can you really avoid lightning?"
"I'm 80% sure that I can go in and 100% sure that I won't be struck to death by the lightning.”
Niu Yunfeng thought about it and shook his head."It still won't do. Even if it goes through me, your father and Uncle Wei won't agree!”
"I have the theory of avoiding lightning, but now I just lack a practice. Uncle Niu, I think that if we can really find the secret in the Reincarnation Valley, maybe the Japanese will come. This may be a hiding place for us, or it can also become a special battlefield to fight the Japanese!”
Hearing this, Niu Yunfeng was tempted.
"Do you really have a way?"
"I won't seek death. I have a feeling that there are some things we need in the valley, and it might be beneficial for us to fight the Japanese. If you can convince my father and Uncle Wei, I will tell you how to enter and let you guys check for me.”
"I'll go discuss with them. Before we come to an agreement, you're not allowed to enter!"”
Seeing Niu Yunfeng relax, Murong Yao was in a good mood. He bid farewell to Niu Yunfeng and prepared to return to school!
Just as he stepped out of the room, Murong Yao's ear was suddenly grabbed by someone.
"Wow! Pain, pain! Let go, let go!"
In this world, there were only two people who were qualified to pull Murong Yao's ears. One was his mother, Yang Yunyue; The other one was his elder sister, Murong Feng. Murong Yao did not need to guess who it was.
Murong Chi gritted his teeth." You traitor! I was so nice to you when you were young. I gave your two little girlfriends such good things, but all I got was a pile of old antiques and junk. I even wanted to share half with Mom!"”
His sister was jealous.
"Sister, let go! It hurts!" Murong Yao smiled cheekily." You're a woman, right? A woman should give things that women use. I treat you like an adult. That pair of bracelets is worth more than 500 dollars." The two of them were just playing around. Your elders don't remember the mistakes of children. Let go quickly, or else others will see!”
"You're still a child? Afraid of being seen? Did he become a spirit and climb up and down all day long? Other than my family, everyone in the village knows! Tell me, what should I be compensated for?"
Looking at Murong Chi in front of him, she was radiant and beautiful, with an outstanding charm, a mature and tall figure, and a dignified and charming face. Murong Yao sighed to himself,[Sister is really pretty. There are also pretty girls in the village, but they are just pretty girls from a humble family.] Murong Chi had been to the Western Academy, and the impression he gave others was that he was confident and mature! These were not things that could be cultivated by hiding in the ravines!
Murong Yao's eyes turned." Sister, actually you don't like those little things, right? How about this?" I'll get you some penicilin!"
Murong Chi's eyes lit up.”
"You can't buy it. Besides, you can't spend money recklessly, right?”
"If you can't buy it, why are you making a wish!"
"If I can't buy it, I can rob it. There must be some in the Japanese hospital! When did I go and rob those bandits?”
"Don't talk nonsense. It's not that easy to snatch something from the Japanese. Don't lose your life!”
"Sister, if you go and get it, you might not be able to get it. Didn't they say that a willow tree would grow by accident? Who knows, maybe I'll come one day without any effort?”
"By the way, Sister, how are the preparations for the clinic going?”
"Uncle Niu is mainly in charge. I'll take care of my own stall. As long as the medicine and equipment arrive, I'll just put on my white coat and sit here.”
"Can your medical skills really save people?”
"Is that a question? I graduated with a medical degree, so I can perform any ordinary surgery. However, if the neck was cut off and the bullet hit the heart, then even if God, the Virgin Mary, and the Son of God came together, they would be powerless to save the world. I've been looking for an assistant these two days. He has to be cultured, brave, and not afraid of blood. Unfortunately, it's so difficult that I haven't found any!”
Murong Yao's mind turned." Sister, why don't you come to my school to look for them? The students in the high school that I'm teaching now can be considered cultured. I've been guiding them recently to work hard for the nation and sacrifice themselves for the country! With a beauty like you encouraging them, there might really be people who would volunteer to sacrifice themselves!”
Murong Chi rolled her eyes at him. Then, she thought," That's a good idea. I might be able to find a few nurses!"
After the siblings discussed it, they parted ways.
