"I didn't fight you today, it's not that I'm afraid of you and can't beat you, but I have no intention of hurting you. Please also ask the Taoist chief to make it convenient, and don't embarrass me again. I said calmly.

"If I let you go today, it will not be my fault that you will bring harm to the world in the future? Why do you cast the same illusion you agreed to yesterday today? The young Taoist priest said.

"I owe it to everyone, I just want to help him improve his life, but I don't have any talent, so I have to perform illusions. But I didn't hurt them, did I? I said.

"Is that true?"

"Alas, you man, if I really want to make trouble, I don't have to wait for you to come, someone has already dealt with me. You'll have a thousand hearts. I said patiently.

The young Taoist priest groaned, and finally said: "I believe you, if something happens in the future, this Taoist leader will kill you even if he dies." ”

After speaking, he flew away and swept away.

I watched him leave, and it was finally settled. It's just that in front of me, there is still some distance from Zhuo's house, and the carriage is gone again, so I can only walk back.

As soon as I entered the gate, Zhuo Ran pulled me to a chair and sat down, and said with a serious face: "Where did you go again, I didn't drink the medicine, the injury hasn't healed yet, and you are running around again." ”

"I went to the store." I answered truthfully.

Zhuo Ran didn't speak, walked to the kitchen and brought out a bowl, not to mention that I know what it is.

"Can I not drink it?" I said bitterly.

"Nope."

"I'm going to the hut."

After speaking, I got up and was about to go out, but Zhuo Ran stood in front of me: "Drink first, in the morning you said you wanted to wash your face and rinse your mouth, but it was gone." ”

I clutched my stomach and bent over: "My stomach hurts so much, it's no good, you can let me go." ”

"How can it be such a coincidence." Zhuo Ran was unmoved.

"Why don't you believe me?"

"Why are you talking so much, if you drink it, you'll be fine."

I...... gave up, straightened up and said, "Count you ruthless." ”

He took the bowl from his hand, scooped up a spoonful and licked it. The bitter taste instantly spread to the tip of my tongue, and the unique smell of the Chinese herbal soup made my brain ache.

"Drink it quickly, it's more bitter when it's cold." Zhuo Ran rushed.

Drink it, glared at him fiercely, pinched his nose and closed his eyes and drank it in one gulp......

"Vomit ......" wanted to vomit but couldn't vomit, and just when he was uncomfortable, a golden thing appeared in front of him.

I looked up and looked at my owner with the golden object in bewilderment.

"Eat a piece of candy." Zhuo Ran said.

"Thank you!" I took it and took a small bite, and the melt-in-your-mouth and sweet taste made me want to take a second bite quickly. I've never thought sugar was so delicious! Also, it turns out that Zhuo Ran can also be so considerate!

"At home!" Xu's voice came from the door, "Look what I bought?" ”

Hearing this, Zhuo Ran and I looked at it together, and it turned out to be a chicken.

"We'll stew chicken soup later. Is Xiao Li better? Xu said.

I nodded, "Much better." ”

……

In the cloudy morning, I came to the store as usual, and my health is much better today, probably because of the two bowls of Chinese herbal soup. But the thought of the three more pairs of the medicine made my head grow.

Before I went out in the morning, Zhuo Ran fried another bowl of medicinal soup, and I drank it hard, although there was a piece of sugar after drinking, and the pain was enough when I drank it......

"The results of the past two days seem to be good!" I counted on the silver taels I earned, and said to Hu Pingping.

Although it was neither early nor late in the morning, there were many customers in the store, and they ate slowly, and after eating, they ordered again, and there was no sign of leaving for a long time, as if they were coming to occupy a seat.

"Boss, you ...... The ...... who showed his head Isn't it...... Not quite suitable? Hu Ping said intermittently on the side.

"What, I dislike your boss?"

I turned my head to look at him, just in time for his gaze. Hu Ping was stunned for a moment, but quickly lowered his head and said, "No, I'm just afraid that you will show up too much, and someone will plot against you." ”

"Thank you for your concern, rest assured, although your boss and I are not afraid of the sky and the earth, it is more than enough to deal with a few people." I say.

Hu Ping nodded and went about his business.

Near noon, as soon as I came out of the office, a guy hurriedly ran over, stopped in front of me and said in a speechless voice: "Boss, go and see, someone has an accident and died?" ”

"Who had an accident, and who died?" I didn't get it.

"No, someone died." Said the guy.

"No, it won't!"

I walked into the lobby in disbelief and saw a crowd of people gathered around the staircase. I grabbed a guy who had just been squeezed out of it and asked, "What's going on?" ”

"Boss, no, the man came down from the stairs and shouted a stomachache, and then he fell to the ground, as if he was out of breath." Said the guy.

"Hey, what's wrong with this, this person didn't drink?" Not far away, someone shouted again.

I looked for a name, and a man was lying on the table, a bowl pressed under his face, and his face was still stained with oil. Someone next to him was looking at him puzzled.

As I walked over, the face of the person lying on the table was blue, especially the eyes and lips. How does it look like the legendary poisoning?

I sent a fellow to the doctor, and I reached out to probe the man's snort, and it seemed that he was no longer breathing.

I walked to the top of the stairs again, pushed through the crowd and went to the innermost part, where I saw the man lying on the floor, with symptoms similar to those of the person lying on the table.

"Boss, this man is dead." Hu Pingping, who was already here, said to me.

How could this happen, and who did it? I looked around and there were no suspicious people or things.

The man had already called for the doctor, and as soon as the doctor came, he touched the neck of the man lying on the table. Then he walked up to the man who had fallen to the ground and touched his neck as well.

"I've been poisoned to death!" The doctor shook his head.

My head "buzzed" loudly, this time I was in trouble, after all, they were in my store. If I had found it earlier, I might have been able to save them, but now I can't help it.

"Where did the poison come from, how could they be poisoned?"

"We're not going to be poisoned too, are we?"

The customers began to talk a lot, and for a moment everyone in the store was in danger, and they crowded in front of the doctor, asking to take a look for themselves.

The doctor checked their pulses one by one, and the result was that they were all fine.

"Boss, what can I do?" Hu Ping said worriedly.

I shook my head and left the lobby and went into the kitchen.

"Boss, is there anything wrong with you?" A chef saw me and asked with a smile.

It seems that they don't know yet, "Has anyone suspicious ever been in the kitchen?" I asked him.

"Nope!" The other chef replied.

"Two of the guests were poisoned and died, saying, 'Is it true that any of you has declared a personal vendetta?" I asked them seriously.

"What, how could this happen? Boss, we are all our own people, and we never make enemies with others. ”

Both the chef and the henchman were pale, and they all said that they had never made a feud with anyone.

I thought about it, and I didn't think it would be just a few of them, they had been in the kitchen, and they didn't know who was outside. And the people who know the customers best should be the shopkeepers, and the food is also delivered to the guests' tables through their hands.

But I didn't have a chance to interrogate them again, and when I returned to the lobby from the kitchen, there were a lot of officers and soldiers with knives in front of the store.
