Chapter 53, The Great Dao Fifty, The Heavenly Evolution Forty-Nine
On the sixth day at Sancha Medicine Store, Hua Changxi finished his training on time at dawn. Just as he fetched water and prepared to wash, there was a knock on the courtyard door.

Unlike the loud knocks on the door a few days ago, this time the knock was very polite.

Hua Changxi put down his toiletries, walked over and opened the gate. Seeing the thin boy standing outside the gate, he was a little surprised: "Why is it you?"

Ah Niu was a little shy, and didn't dare to look directly at Hua Changxi. He lowered his head and said, "It was Manager Mao who asked me to come back and continue feeding the animals."

Hua Changxi: "Were you the one who fed the animals before?"

Ah Niu nodded and quickly glanced at Hua Changxi: "The day you came, Manager Mao asked others to feed the animals."

Hua Changxi knew in her heart that Mao Yong just wanted to use the other male servants to disgust her, force her to take action, and then ask the master to come forward and teach her a lesson.

Hua Changxi turned sideways and let the boy in: "What's your name?"

Ah Niu seemed a little afraid of Hua Changxi. He trotted into the yard and kept a distance from her: "My name is Ah Niu."

Seeing this, Hua Changxi lowered her eyes. Two people died yesterday. Although she didn't do it herself, the wild boar did go crazy because she attacked it with spiritual power.

Someone died.
This was something she had not expected, but she did not regret angering the wild boar.

When those male servants came to harass her, she would of course fight back. As for what the consequences would be, that depended on their luck.

In this pharmacy, she is a piece of meat. If she does not fight back strongly and is afraid of this and that, endless troubles will be waiting for her.

As a result of what happened yesterday, Mao Yong had someone else feed the animals. If the male servants in the farm want to get close to her again, they will have to think carefully before doing so.

When they went to eat, as soon as Hua Changxi entered the yard, everyone looked at her, and then moved away from her at the same time, and the previous teasing sounds also disappeared.

Hua Changxi was very satisfied with this.

Now that there was no one who disgusted her in the animal house, Hua Changxi took her breakfast and went back to eat, and she did not forget to bring a portion for Aniu.

When we returned to the barn, Aniu had already fed the cattle and horses and was feeding the hunting dogs.

"Niu, I brought you breakfast. Come and eat when you're done."

There was a stone platform next to the well. Hua Changxi put his breakfast directly on the platform and ate while watching Aniu work.

When Aniu saw that Hua Changxi brought breakfast for him, he was a little surprised, but he was not used to interacting with outsiders, so he deliberately slowed down the process of feeding the hunting dogs.

However, looking at the hunting dog that cooperated obediently and did not make any noise, Ah Niu felt very strange.

In the past, when feeding the animals, both the cows and the horses were very noisy, and the hunting dogs barked especially fiercely, but today, the animals were particularly easy to feed.

Aniu glanced quickly at Hua Changxi. Could it be that not only the people in the village were afraid of Miss Hua, but even the animals were afraid of her?

Hua Changxi looked at Aniu who was dragging his feet and refusing to come over to eat. After thinking for a while, he picked up the bowl containing three big steamed buns, walked to Aniu and placed it at his feet.

After returning to the stone platform, Hua Changxi asked, "Aniu, are you also a handyman at the medicine shop?"

Ah Niu looked at the steamed bun at his feet and swallowed his saliva. He just came to the medicine shop to help out, not to do menial work here, and he couldn't eat such good food on weekdays.

"No, I'm a shepherd boy from the neighboring Dongchi Village."

Hua Changxi: "Do you also grow medicinal herbs in your village?"

Ah Niu shook his head: "No, the medicinal herbs are precious and we can't afford to grow them."

Hua Changxi asked again: "I saw women planting herbs in the herb fields. Where are those women from?"

Ah Niu: "They are all people from the surrounding villages. Every year when planting and harvesting medicinal herbs, the medicine shop is too busy to handle the chores, so they always ask people from the surrounding villages to come and help."

Hua Changxi looked at him and said, "You are from the next village, so you must be familiar with the area around the medicine shop?"

Hearing this, Ah Niu finally looked at Hua Changxi and asked in confusion: "Understand what?"

Hua Changxi smiled and said, "You have to understand the geographical environment around here. Just like yesterday, I didn't know there were wild boars in the mountains. I was really shocked. It was the first time I saw a wild boar."

"Aniu, can you tell me about the situation in the nearby mountains and forests? I don't want to encounter wild boars again."

Ah Niu looked at her and said, "Miss Hua, you'd better stay in the medicine store and don't run around. There are some weird things in the forest here."

Hua Changxi instantly became alert: "What kind of weird method is this?"

Aniu looked at Mantou and said nothing.

Hua Changxi: "Why, these things can't be told to outsiders?"

Ah Niu shook his head: "No, I was afraid that if I told you, you wouldn't believe it."

Hua Changxi smiled: "If you don't tell me, how do you know I won't believe it? Anyway, we have nothing to do, so let's just treat it as a story."

Seeing that she was really curious, Ah Niu spoke up, "There are a lot of wild animals in the mountains and forests around us. Villagers have often been eaten in the past two years. In order to hunt the wild animals, we dug a lot of traps outside the mountains and forests."

If it weren't for those traps, no one would have died in the pharmacy yesterday.

Hua Changxi had heard from her father about wild beasts eating people. She had thought it was a low-probability event, but she had not expected it to happen so often at Sancha Pharmacy.

Is this an isolated incident, or is it the same everywhere in Dajin?
"Besides wild beasts eating people, are there any other strange things?"

Ah Niu: "I found that the valleys around us have become larger, the mountains are higher than before, and the flowers, plants and trees in the mountains are more lush than before."

Hearing this, Hua Changxi's eyes flickered: "Really? Do you think so alone, or do everyone think so?"

Ah Niu: "I and several uncles who often go hunting in the mountains all think so."

Hua Changxi: "Have you told the government about this?"

Ah Niu: "Yes, several uncles went to the government office, but the officials in the government office told us not to spread rumors, otherwise they would arrest us."

Hua Changxi had no way of confirming this, so he could only keep it in mind. He then asked, "I heard from the Medical Bureau that new drugs are often discovered at Sancha Medicine Store. Do you know about this?"

Ah Niu nodded, looking somewhat happy: "I know, I found one before, and Manager Mao rewarded me with fifty kilograms of grains because of it."

Seeing him like this, Hua Changxi fell silent again. The Medical Bureau was very generous to those who discovered new medicinal materials. After going through all the layers, it turned out to be only worth 50 kilograms of miscellaneous grains.

"What medicinal herb did you find? Where did you find it?"

Ah Niu shook his head: "Mr. You has already told me that I can't talk about this."

Hua Changxi: "Who is Mr. You?"

Ah Niu: "He is the Grandmaster stationed at Sancha Medicine Store."

Seeing Ah Niu's fearful expression, Hua Changxi did not ask about the Grandmaster's matter: "Are there any other strange things?"

Ah Niu hesitated for a moment and said, "A hunter from Nanchi Village said that he met a weasel in the mountains that could speak human language."

Hua Changxi was shocked and his voice became higher: "Is this true?"

Ah Niu shook his head: "I don't know, the hunter went crazy and froze to death last winter."

Animals that speak human language
This news shocked Hua Changxi. Before she could continue to ask Ah Niu, the sound of gongs for work started outside the yard. Soon, Mao Wei and a group of people entered the barn to lead the hunting dogs, cattle and horses.

Hua Changxi had no choice but to leave the livestock yard and go to the drying yard to get the farm tools.

"Hua Changxi, from today on, you will go to work in the Medicine Valley."

The death of two male servants yesterday made Mao Yong suddenly wake up. The one-armed man Guo Yu was a seventh-rank warrior, and Hua Changxi was not afraid of him, which meant that her martial arts skills were above the seventh rank.

He actually went to challenge a warrior above the seventh rank. He must be tired of living.

The servants who were injured in the past few days are the best examples. Although he could not find any traces of Hua Changxi's actions, he knew that it was Hua Changxi who did it.

He has a little power in the pharmacy, but if he really angers Hua Changxi, this little power will not be able to protect him and his brother.

The wrong thing had been done. All he could do now was to send Hua Changxi away and try not to have any contact with her.

There was a ready-made reason for sending Hua Changxi to work in the Medicine Valley.

The medicinal herbs grown in the Medicine Valley are more precious than those in the medicine fields. Hua Changxi is not only fast in planting medicinal herbs, but also very meticulous in his work. He is qualified to plant medicinal herbs in the Medicine Valley.

The most important thing is that there is Master You in the Medicine Valley. With him in charge, Hua Changxi can only stay in the Medicine Valley and dare not run around.

After the medicinal herb planting was completed, he quickly sent away those who came to help and never wanted to deal with Hua Changxi again.

Hua Changxi was very willing to go to the Medicine Valley to work. She had been worrying about how to get to the Medicine Valley before, but now she didn't have to figure it out on her own.

Mao Yong called one of his men and asked him to take Hua Changxi and more than a dozen other servants who did their job well to Sancha Medicine Valley.

Sancha Medicine Valley is named because it is located at the junction of three Y-shaped mountain ranges. It has a flat terrain and fertile soil. It was originally farmland reclaimed by nearby villagers, but after being noticed by the Medical Bureau, it was changed into Medicine Valley.

Hua Changxi walked at the end of the team, looking carefully at everything around him.

The closer she walked to the Medicine Valley, the more she could clearly feel the spiritual energy in the air becoming richer.

"Chirp~"

Suddenly, a shrill sound of bird calls was heard. When everyone looked for the source of the sound, they saw a dark shadow swooping down from the sky and rushing towards them.

Hua Changxi took a closer look and was immediately shocked.

It was a sparrow, a giant sparrow with a wingspan of two meters.

Everyone looked horrified and dispersed.

The leader shouted as he ran, "Master You, help!"

Hua Changxi, who had picked up a stone from the ground and was about to attack, immediately stopped when he heard the shout.

Just when the giant sparrow was only five or six meters from the ground, a branch as thick as an arm flew over and hit the sparrow in the chest.

With a "boom", the sparrow fell to the ground from mid-air, and the branch pierced its body and stuck it into the ground.

The sparrow did not die immediately, but struggled for a while before becoming silent.

Seeing this scene, everyone was horrified.

Hua Changxi looked in the direction where the branch flew from, and soon, the one-armed man he had seen before appeared.

"Okay, it's okay."

The one-armed man comforted everyone, then walked towards the sparrow, pulled out the branch with some effort, then carried the sparrow on his shoulder and was about to leave. When he turned around, he saw Hua Changxi and was slightly stunned.

However, the one-armed man did not say anything and just carried the sparrow away.

The leader quickly asked everyone to follow, and he trotted after Guo Yu: "Master Guo, are there more and more ferocious beasts in the Medicine Valley?"

Obviously, the people at the pharmacy have encountered attacks from wild beasts like sparrows more than once.

Guo Yu looked indifferent: "Don't worry, Master You is here, nothing will happen to you."

The team leader was still worried: "But this won't work."

There are more and more ferocious beasts, and there is only one Old You, so it is impossible for him to take care of all of them.

Guo Yu was silent for a moment: "If the number of ferocious beasts continues to increase, Elder You will report it to the Heavenly Department, and then the Heavenly Department will send warriors over. You just need to focus on planting medicinal herbs, and you don't need to worry about guarding them."

Upon hearing that the Heavenly Department would send warriors over, the team leader's expression improved a lot.

Hua Changxi, who was walking behind, listened to their conversation with his ears perked up.

A vicious beast?

Is it something like a giant sparrow?

How did a sparrow get so big?
Is it because of the spiritual energy in the medicine valley?

There is also Tianbu
The one-armed man spoke in such a calm tone that it was obvious that this kind of thing was no longer an exception, but a common occurrence, and a mature set of response plans had been formed.

While Hua Changxi was thinking about these things, they arrived at the Sancha Medicine Valley.

It is surrounded by mountains on three sides and has a basin in the middle. The geographical environment is very favorable and the area is so vast that you can't see the end at a glance.

The team leader handed Hua Changxi and his group over to a manager, who carefully inquired about their situation and assigned them to different teams.

One-fifth of the people working in the Medicine Valley are women. Hua Changxi is not conspicuous here, which makes her breathe a sigh of relief.

When Hua Changxi saw that the medicine valley was planted with medicinal herbs needed by high-level warriors, she was not too surprised. She paid special attention to the speed of others and adjusted her own medicinal planting speed to be similar to theirs.

Here, what she had to do was to blend into the crowd. Only after blending in would she be inconspicuous, avoid the Grandmaster's attention, find opportunities to investigate the situation in the Medicine Valley, and look for the Yuanling Grass.

While Hua Changxi was busy working, the one-armed man Guo Yu had been paying attention to her. He watched her for most of the day, but when he saw that there was nothing special about her, he went to the halfway point of the West Mountain and met You Lao, who was sitting on the cliff with his eyes closed in meditation.

"Master, Hua Changxi's martial arts skills are higher than yours."

You Lao closed his eyes and shook his head: "She is not a warrior, she has no internal strength."

Guo Yu's expression changed: "How is it possible? If she is not a warrior, how can she not be affected by the pressure of the disciples?"

You Lao opened his eyes, his eyes flickering: "Master, I can no longer see this world clearly. There are many things hidden in it. Master guesses that there should be higher combat power above the warriors."

As he said this, he looked at Guo Yu who looked shocked.

"Keep a close eye on that little girl. Maybe we can find out what secrets are hidden in her."

Guo Yu asked suspiciously, "Master, Mao Yong has investigated Hua Changxi. She is just a young lady from an ordinary family. How could such a person be related to the above matter?"

You Lao smiled faintly: "There are fifty great ways, and forty-nine are derived from heaven. The people in the upper echelons conceal everything to protect their own interests, but heaven is still fair and will still leave a glimmer of hope for the people below."

"Just like the Grandmaster Warriors, although there are more Grandmasters trained by aristocratic families, there are also many Grandmasters who come from humble backgrounds."

"No matter how much the superiors try to hide it, the subordinates also have their own opportunities."
