Everyone looked for prestige, and the person who shouted and greeted was a middle-aged man, in his forties, slightly fat and short beard, with a shiny forehead and a red face. He wore a blue hat on his head, a five-colored glass bead inlaid in the center, a lake-blue satin robe, and a mahogany box in his hand.

"Boss Feng, are you here too?"

One of the men saw that he knew the person who was coming, so he greeted him with a fist.

Feng Deli saw that someone was beckoning him, so he hurriedly clenched his fists, squinted his eyes at the little er, and then almost dropped the thing on the ground without being surprised.

"Isn't this the iron pen and silver scroll Bao Buping Bao Sanye? What are you doing today? Why are you still pretending to be a buddy?" Feng Deli looked at the little er, and then looked up at the plaque hanging on the store, with an embarrassed smile on his face.

"Third Master Bao, you're making a big joke. Even if Senior Zhao starts a business, you should be a partner owner, how can you surrender your identity and be a partner?" Feng Deli was about to say some pleasantries, and when he saw Xiao Yi looking at him up and down on the side, he hurriedly explained: "Young Master Xiao, it's really you!"

"Hello sir, but does Xiao know Mr.? Why can't I remember?" Looking at Xiao Yi's blank face, everyone knew that he didn't recognize anyone.

"It's normal for Mr. Xiao not to recognize him. In the Lower Feng Deli, Yecheng people. At the beginning, a dart game was opened, and later Zhao Qianbei told a few of our friends in the rivers and lakes to help Mr. Xiao with all their might. He also gave us a graphic picture of Mr. to circulate. In eleven years and three months, although I only watched it once, I never dared to forget the advice of Zhao's predecessors. Feng Deli looked at Xiao Yi deeply, and his respect was self-evident.

"I said, why don't you have an impression of you? I'm sorry! Xiao was rude. But eleven years have passed, how can Mr. Feng be so far away and recognize Xiao at a glance?"

Xiao Yi clenched his fists and helped Feng Deli up. Then he asked curiously.

"Sir, at the beginning, Senior Zhao was looking for a wonderful pen that shocked the image drawn by Mr. Zhuge himself. The characters in the painting are the same as Mr. Siu. More than ten years have passed, and Mr. Xiao is only a little more mature than the figure in the portrait, but this spirit has not changed. Therefore, Feng can recognize Mr. at a glance. Are you here to congratulate Senior Zhao as well?" Although Feng Deli met for the first time, it felt like he had known each other for decades.

The gentleman laughed. I'm here to find Senior Zhao for something, and I'm going to ask a few people to help me get through. Now he looked back at the group of guys and said.

"What? Mr. Xiao still needs to be polite when he sees Senior Zhao? I remember that Senior Zhao was quite respectful to Mr. At the beginning, Senior Zhao specially told our friends in the rivers and lakes that we must respect Mr. What does Mr. want, we have to be more obedient than when we see Senior Zhao. What's going on today?" Feng Deli complimented while looking at Bao Buping, who was embarrassed, and desperately gave the other party a look.

"Mr. Xiao, I was offended a lot just now. Please come in, and we will arrange for someone to call Senior Zhao out. Bao Buping knew that Feng Deli was Zhao Qianbei's old friend, and now that everyone has proved that Xiao Yi's identity is different, how can he dare to despise it? So he hurriedly beckoned his companion to invite Xiao Yi in, and he stepped forward to greet Feng Deli a few words.

"Third Master, what's wrong with you? Why are you dressed up like this? Have you offended Senior Zhao?"

Feng Deli was afraid that there were many people around him, and he was afraid that Bao Buping would lose face, so he asked softly.

"Nothing. I paid a high price to get this from Senior Zhao. is full of old peach blossoms drunk, if it weren't for his old man's rush to employ people this time, it is estimated that these drinks would not even be able to enter the threshold for coming to do things. Bao Buping obviously didn't feel embarrassed by his identity, but felt that he had taken a big advantage.

"What's wrong? Half an hour ago, I heard the news that Senior Zhao was going to open a deal here. If I hadn't just caught up with the bid in Yubo City, I wouldn't have been able to catch up. What kind of people are out there? I think all of them look like they have some identity. Feng Deli turned his head to look out the door and asked in a low voice.

"It's all people who rushed over after hearing the news. Sword Xiao Suo Soul Ding Haicheng, ten-armed Rakshasa Mei Xiaoxiao, and some have never heard of it, or those who are not in charge of things are not there, and those in charge come first. Zhao's predecessors opened their businesses, and those who could come over were considered to have face. This is just the news that has just been spread, and in two days, it is estimated that the entire rivers and lakes will have a head and a face. Bao Buping looked around at the shop that had just been registered, and began to worry about how to arrange it when there were too many people.

"The subordinates just said that Senior Zhao wanted to open a business, but he didn't say what kind of business he did. I've got a hundred gold coins here, so you can help me see what is similar and pick one or two. The business is newly opened, and I am also full of popularity. ”

Feng Deli took out a money bag from his arms and handed it to Bao Buping, opened the lid of his mahogany box, and explained: "Senior Zhao Shenlong saw the head but not the tail, and I didn't know that he was always here. Yesterday's filial piety under his hand, a pair of red jade wine glasses. I think about honoring Zhao's predecessors, and he always looks down on other things, and this wine glass should still be used. ”

Bao Buping took the wooden box and pushed the gold coin back. Seeing Feng Deli's stunned face, he explained: "Don't be surprised. This shop doesn't sell anything, so there's no place for your money. I also received news early this morning, saying that Senior Zhao was going to take care of a business. The rules of the store, as long as the rare and rare drugs are eye-catching, they will be purchased, and they do not care about the price. I'll take your pair of glasses as a congratulatory gift, and I'll hand them in for you later. Be more careful when you go back and ask your dart master to go out, I have a list here, and you can find a place to transcribe it. As long as it's something described above, get it first. I don't care if you are high prices or temptations, anyway, I only look at things and not people. ”

Bao Buping took out a paper roll from his sleeve, which was densely filled with the names of various rare herbs and minerals.

Feng Deli took it and was about to open it, but found Xiao Yi sitting on the side drinking tea in a daze.

"Mr. Xiao, why are you still here? Could it be that Senior Zhao is in retreat and not disturbed?" Feng Deli hurriedly stepped forward and bowed down and asked.

Bao Buping also beckoned a guy over and quietly asked the reason. This guy looked embarrassed, and it was difficult to explain, but Xiao Yi smiled helplessly: "Everyone is on the rivers and lakes, and there are no scruples." Senior Zhao took a medicine and is now having diarrhea. It is estimated that I will not be able to get out for a while. Brother Bao, go back and let the outside retreat first. I estimate that in the past few months, it has been difficult for senior Zhao to meet customers easily because of his health. ”

When the two of them heard this, they immediately understood. People in the rivers and lakes,, pee and fart are the most common things, and there is no taboo in officialdom or scholars at all. So the two went out and persuaded all the visitors to go back. There were a few well-connected people, and they all followed Feng Deli to the next door to have tea and copy the roster of items.

Xiao Yi finally waited for Zhao Qianbei to come out of the toilet with difficulty, and after saying a few words, he saw him running back in a hurry.

For three days, there were many people who came and went to the store to congratulate them, but the transaction that could actually be completed never happened.

"Sister, you can't do that! Are you mistaken? No one can find what you need. ”

"If it were easy, do you think I'd let him open a store? As long as this store can last, for decades, hundreds of years, it would be good to keep buying these things. ”

Qin Xi replied indifferently. There is no one to trade, which makes the items rare, and at the same time, they are not targeted by the sect families of the cultivation realm. If one day a cultivator comes to the door, Zhao Qianbei also relies on the connections he has gathered in his identity in the rivers and lakes, and it is impossible for a cultivator to interfere in mortal things. At most, there will be sect families who will come to study and communicate with each other, and they will never make a rash move. If there are really cultivators who want to oppress Zhao Qianbei's powerlessness, it is estimated that they are some stunned scattered cultivators. is just a casual cultivator, daring to challenge the forces behind him, maybe he will leave more than they want.

Qin Xi doesn't like to take by force, but there is no shortage of such arrogant and arrogant people around him. Dare to make a move on her own people, so teach the juniors a lesson, she has never been soft.

On the fourth day, someone finally got the news and found something that was written on the list. It's just that this herb grows in the mountains, and there are many fierce beasts and poisons around it. More than 100 years ago, a team of people found this thing in the deep mountains, and they were lucky enough to get one. Six people also went into the mountain, but only one came back alive.

When the two came to the store, except for a few guys at the door, the only one left was a person waiting for tea in the lobby. Senior Zhao had just reported what had happened to Qin Xi, and he went to the thatched house to suffer again. When the two of them came over, they saw that the person who brought the news was Feng Deli who was drinking tea and sitting dry.

"Mr. Feng, why are you? You found that thread grass?" Xiao Yi looked Feng Deli up and down, feeling that he had no similarities with the owner of the herb.

"Xiao Gongzi said with a smile, where do I have that blessing! It's just that a few days ago, I spread the news, and it happened that there was a dart master under my hand, and his fellow villagers happened to have seen thread grass. I think since there is news, let's come and inform me, if Senior Zhao is interested, then find a few masters, and try to get it back. Originally, I wanted my dart master to find a few good players to try it out, but when I heard his description, I dispelled this idea. I really couldn't find any good players to deal with this matter, so I came over and waited for Senior Zhao to find someone by himself. I can let that dart master be a guide for free, and there is not much I can do, isn't this also thinking about sharing the worries of Senior Zhao?"

Regardless of whether Feng Deli was genuinely helpful or polite in words, Qin Xi was very satisfied with his way of handling it anyway.

Thread grass is one of the main materials of its own alchemy, and it is most loved by fertilized monsters and poisonous insects. It is extremely difficult for any mortal to obtain this thing. The other party did not try his best, which is a good thing for Qin Xi.

Several people talked in detail, and finally agreed to let the dart master wait in his hometown, and Zhao Qianbei's people would go to meet him in five days.

Five days later, Beijiguo, Huancheng, and Yuyu Township.

"Young Master Xiao, Master Feng said that someone would come over to deal with the matter of that herb, did you come here first or do you have something else?"

It was Cai Yun, the dart master that Feng Deli said, who spoke. He saw that Xiao Yi came to find him alone, and he didn't want to hit the other party, so he asked.

"Cai Darttou, this time Xiao will come alone, and there will be no help from others. So let's meet up with the person you mentioned as soon as possible. When this is done, I will be rewarded with a hundred gold coins. Xiao Yi said, taking out ten gold coins from his bosom and placing them on the table.

"This is ten gold coins, and whether or not you can get thread grass on this trip, these are all rewards for those who lead the way. ”

Seeing this, Cai Yun hurriedly refused, but was stopped by Xiao Yi waving his hand.

"Cai Darttou, this is a reward for the person who leads the way. We have received your and Feng's wishes, and we will take care of them in the future. But people have helped us, no matter whether things work out or not, we can't be short of the number of courtesies we should have. Invite him over later, come over early, and we'll deal with it as soon as possible. ”

Ten gold coins is nothing to Xiao Yi, but this trip is dangerous, and it is impossible for people to help with it. It is even more unlikely that Feng Deli will pay for these expenses. Xiao Yat and Qin Xi have a consensus, that is, problems that can be solved with money, so don't make too much trouble. It's just that if it is replaced by Zhao Qianbei, it is estimated that it will be said to be a good wine that can be bought with money, so don't consider the price.

Not long after, Cai Yun brought a middle-aged man named Cai Xi. He is a relative of Cai Yun's clan, and his ancestors were hunters, and he accidentally encountered thread grass when he went into the mountains to hunt. Of the six people in the group, only one person made it out of the mountain alive, but he was blind in one eye and broke the sole of his foot when he survived. After that, the story of them going into the mountains to collect medicine was passed down from mouth to mouth in the family. The thread grass that I got at the beginning was also missing. Because there is no follow-up to this matter, it is rarely mentioned. However, Xiao Yi knew from Qin Xi that the thread grass would wither and lose its medicinal properties within twelve hours after it was removed. The threaded grass they had obtained was not missing at all, but had gone beyond time, withered and turned into a pile of grass ashes.

After a few conversations, Xiao Yi asked Cai Xi to take him into the mountain. Cai Yun also wanted to go over to help, but was rejected by Xiao Yi.

This time it is dangerous to enter the mountain, and it is not easy for Xiao Yi to protect Cai Xi. If there are more people, Xiao Yi is worried that he will not be able to be distracted when he encounters danger.

Seeing Xiao Yi's insistence, Cai Yun had no choice but to give up. He handed over a steel short axe to Cai Xi, and repeatedly told him to ensure Xiao Yi's safety, so he brought gold coins to Cai Xi's house.

The two rode two horses and walked for more than an hour before they came to a mountain pass. Dismounted, whipped the horses on the buttocks, and the two beasts ran back on their own.

"Xiao Gongzi, this beast knows the way, and he will go back first. This is the Ghost King Ridge, after entering the mountain, let's find a place to rest, tomorrow morning on the road, at noon should be able to rush to that place. Cai Xi explained while taking Xiao Yi's backpack.

"You can go as far as you can tonight, you don't have to worry about the beasts sneaking up in the middle of the night. I'll just take this thing myself, so I don't have to be so polite. Xiao Yi tightened his burden as he spoke, kicking a half-human-high stone in front of him to the side.

Feng Xi originally thought that a young man like Xiao Yi was a master who wanted to save face, and he couldn't compare to himself as a hunter in the mountains. Now seeing Xiao Yat kick away the boulder, he himself is dumbfounded. Such a big stone, I can barely climb to the side of the road, but at this time it was easily kicked away by others, and the gap between this person and people is unimaginable.

Feng Xi didn't say much, and led the way in front seriously. The steel axe in his hand kept chopping at the branches and vines blocking the way, until it was time to clear an empty field and light a bonfire.

Feng Xi quickly fell asleep, and Xiao Yi lay on the ground and looked at the night sky for a long time.

Zhao Qianbei poured thousands of miles, and now it is a little too late to pass a word back and forth, let alone protect the two stores.

Qin Xi's cultivation is unfathomable, but she is a girl. Except for Xiao Yi, who is doing the rough work of going into the mountains to get medicine, he really can't find a more suitable candidate. Originally, Xiao Yi just politely said to Qin Xi that it was too dangerous to take medicine this time. As a result, they didn't wait for him to finish, and directly said that they didn't plan to go at all.

This Qin Xi didn't appreciate it, and he decided to let Xiao Yi run from the beginning. Now Xiao Yi can't say anything more, after all, he also signed an agreement. There is no merit, no hard work, no courtesy to take care of one's fellow man. It all became an order from Qin Xi.

Looking at the stars occasionally obscured by the clouds in the sky, Xiao Yi smiled helplessly.

In addition to a few pieces of clothing, his package is two boxes of snacks. When you come out to run errands, you can take things out of your storage bag at every turn, and it is easy to cause a sensation among mortals. So with a package by his side, it makes sense for Xiao Yat to take out anything. That night he was pillowing his package, looking at the sky and thinking. In the past few years of Xiuzhen, in addition to being extremely tired, sleeping the rest of the time is almost dispensable. Most of his sleeping time was spent meditating and retreating, and there was less and less time to actually lie down like he was now.

The next morning, the mist in the woods wet their faces. Cai Xi lit the residual fire and dried his body with Xiao Yi, while roasting the dry food he carried with him.

I thought that the speed of travel last night was very fast, and today it is estimated that I will be able to reach the predetermined position in one more hour. Feng Xi quickly finished the food and buried the remaining fire with sand before starting the final sprint.

An hour later, the two came to a valley.

Looking at the surrounding miasma-shrouded jungle, Feng Xi pointed to a small hill not far away and said, "Young Master Xiao, that small stone mountain is the Ghost Corner Terrace." The thread grass you're looking for is right on there. It's just that this is the only way to get to the Ghost Corner Terrace, and we mountain people have always called this place Baby Ditch. Because every time I am here, I hear a baby crying, and it makes me feel nervous. Be careful when walking, there are poisonous snakes everywhere. I don't want to ......."

"Don't think about it. Since it's so dangerous, let's just go back. Xiao Yi looked around and said casually.

"Back to ...... Go back, Childe, are you joking?" Cai Xi almost dropped his jaw when he heard this. These big city boys are too good at having fun! Come as soon as they say, take a look at it and hear about the trouble, and leave as soon as they say it.

Cai Xi also wanted to accompany him to go in once, after all, the remaining ninety gold coins were also a lot of wealth, and he had to fight for it even if he fought for his life. But he didn't want Xiao Yi to turn around and go back. The two of them did not say a word all the way back, and it was almost dusk, and they finally returned to the mountain pass.

"This is the gold coin that was promised, you take it. So I went home. ”

Xiao Yi put a money bag into Cai Xi's hand, and disappeared on the deserted road in a few leaps. Cai Xi held the money bag with a stunned expression, he didn't understand what he had done this time, how could he get a sum of money for no reason.

Not far away, a white cloud slowly rose and flew quietly towards the mountain.

"You don't have to take any risks, I can also use my punches. Or fly over from the sky to save effort!"
