Chapter 41: Listening to Gossip (2)
Since the Xu family is a well-known pharmaceutical family in the imperial dynasty, it is not uncommon for a few rare herbs to be stored in the family.
The third bitter leaf that can sustain my life was originally stored in the Xu family.
A few years ago, Mr. Xu was seriously ill, and he had a last word before he went-
This bitter leaf is a gift from the deceased, and it will be buried with this plant after death.
I don't understand a little, although the bitter leaves are very precious, but after all, it is just a piece of hay, Old Man Xu actually loves it like this, and he even has to take it with him on Huangquan Road? Isn't he afraid that the bold thief will dig his grave for the sake of bitterness?
After all, I am a lady who has not seen much, and the thief is worthy of being a thief, and before the bitter leaves and fine hardships entered the ground, the day the coffin was sealed, he disappeared.
Xu Qingyang, the young master of the Xu family, is a filial son with one top, in order to find the bitter leaf and the bitter bitterness, he fulfilled his father's wish and posted a reward notice-
Whoever tells the news will be rewarded with a thousand silver; Whoever finds it will be rewarded with 10,000 silver.
At the time of the arrival, the Xu family's search for bitter leaves and fine hardship was in an uproar, and everyone knew about it, and it also set off a trend of digging grass in the mountains in the imperial dynasty, and for a while, all the medicine mountains were bald.
I feel that these people really don't have a lot of brains, and the Xu family has offered a reward of 10,000 taels of silver, but I don't know how much this bitter leaf is worth when I buy it in the pharmacy? It must be more than 10,000 silver, right?
Now, nearly a year has passed, and this bitter leaf has not been found, and the matter has been silent, but a month ago, the gallant thief actually sent a letter to the Xu family-
If not, they will burn it and sprinkle it into the moat, which will make the old man Xu unhappy in the underworld.
Well, I admire it very much, this thief is not only fat, but also has a good brain, and if he holds such a golden lump in his hand, if he gives it away for only 10,000 silver, wouldn't it be a big loss?
"It's just a piece of hay, what's the difference? If someone casually lifted it, wouldn't the Xu family have to pay 10,000 gold? Senior Brother Jiu's eyes lit up, and he asked very shrewdly, "Why don't we ...... too?"
I don't know how expensive firewood and rice are at home, I only knew that I was in charge of the meals of Taixi Mountain, and we could eat it as a master and apprentice, and it was only less than half a year, and my South China Sea pearls were eaten half a box.
As soon as Senior Brother Jiu mentioned it, I also thought that it would be idle anyway, so it was better to go to the barren mountains and fields to dig a few dry grasses, stick it, stick it, and send it to Xu's house to join in the fun, and it is also haode to earn a few pocket money.
"This is a mistake, the bitter leaves of the Xu family are the king of medicine, the roots are thick and the leaves are fat, and it is impossible for others to fake it." Fifth Senior Brother - Divine Doctor Chang Chau.
When Senior Brother Nine heard this, he pursed his lips.
I pondered for a while and said, "I'm afraid this is a plan by the Xu family, the young master of the Xu family is afraid that the bold thief will miss the bitter leaf fine hard that accompanied the burial, and dug up the grave of the old man Xu, and only then did he release the false news of the disappearance of the bitter leaf fine xin." This time, we are afraid that we will first be the captain of Jin, and explore the century-old residence of Old Man Xu. ”
"Little Senior Sister...... "Senior Brother Jiu ran up in front of me, his eyes shining, and he looked at me with great reverence.
The fifth senior brother tapped his index finger on the table, lowered his head and pondered.
After a long time, with a snap, Senior Brother Xiaobai accepted the fan and said lightly: "Today's clouds are light and the wind is light, presumably the moonlight will be very good later, tonight we will go to the grave of Old Man Xu to put incense on the pillar!" ”
