Chapter 15 Pick-up

Thinking of this, Hui Niang was already sweating on her forehead, but she looked up at Liu Siqi, but saw that his face was as usual, as if nothing had happened.

She didn't know how Mr. Liu was going to deal with this emergency, but she believed in Mr. Liu's ability in the preparation of herbs and spices, so at the moment she tried to keep her worries in her heart and wait for Liu Siqi's orders.

"You go and take the batch of glass bottles I asked Xiao Hao to bring over a few days ago to the cabin, and then look at Ah Zi to make sure that she won't leave the main courtyard for half a step. Xiao Hao should come over early tomorrow morning, if I haven't come out by then, you can help me drag him and wait for me to come out. ”

Liu Siqi explained, and Hui Niang bowed down.

When Hui Niang found the batch of glass bottles from the warehouse in the backyard and sent them to the cabin, she saw that Liu Siqi had already set up a series of bottles and cans inside, and even lit a small stove-like device on the side.

Hui Niang couldn't help but look dumbfounded.

These devices don't look like they want to make spices at all, but like those Taoist priests who want to make some kind of elixir. No, it's much smaller and more delicate than those alchemy furnaces.

Seeing that she put down the glass bottle and didn't leave, Liu Siqi raised her head from the small stove, looked at Hui Niang and asked, "Is there anything else?" ”

Hui Niang came back to her senses and shook her head again and again and retreated.

After that, Hui Niang went to the study again, and saw that Ah Zi was copying books without raising her head, so she silently retreated and began to make a fire to cook.

Dinner was finished in a blink of an eye, Hui Niang took a tray and went to the cabin, Liu Siqi answered, but never took his eyes off a bottle containing liquid.

Hui Niang didn't dare to stay any longer, so she quickly retreated, and prepared another one to take to the study, but Ah Zi also didn't raise her head to concentrate on copying the herbal medicine book, Hui Niang put the dinner in her hand, but she just thanked her casually, and had no intention of stopping to eat.

Now Hui Niang is left alone, this kind of thing has happened, she herself has no appetite, so she simply sat down next to Ah Zi and watched her copy the book.

Ah Zi raised his head and smiled at Hui Niang: "Hui Niang, have you seen this herbal collection before?" The plants recorded in it, which are poisonous, which are medicinal, which can strengthen the body, the forms of different kinds of herbs, the difference in efficacy, are really clearly recorded, and several times I was so fascinated by it that I forgot to transcribe it. ”

Seeing the excitement in Ah Zi's eyes as she spoke, Hui Niang smiled, thinking to herself that Mr. Liu asked her to copy the herbal collection, which seemed to be the right decision.

Ah Zi saw that Hui Niang just smiled, and said again: "It's just that I flipped through it, and I didn't find out who the author of this book was, and there was no record of printing or transcribing it, it's really strange, such a good book, if you can transcribe a few more copies to the pharmacy outside, it should be able to benefit the people." ”

When Hui Niang heard this, she quickly stood up, waved her hand again and again, took out a pen and paper and wrote: "This collection was written by Mr. himself, and it was not originally a book, but it was just a record of some experiences from going out to collect medicine." But sir's things are never passed on, just look at it, and don't spread it. ”

Ah Zi nodded solemnly after seeing it, thinking that Mr. Liu was willing to show such an important thing to himself, he should value himself quite a lot, so it seems that it should not be as difficult as he imagined if he wants to be his assistant.

After that, Ah Zi didn't say anything, picked up the pen, and copied with all his attention.

Hui Niang didn't bother her anymore, and sat beside her quietly with her.

In the blink of an eye, the night passed, and the sky brightened up little by little, but Mr. Liu was still not seen coming out of the cabin.

Hui Niang's heart hung again, Xiao Hao should be here soon, she stood up and explained that Ah Zi was not allowed to leave the main courtyard for half a step.

Ah Zi has already run into trouble because of running around, of course he doesn't dare to mess around anymore, and Hui Niang repeatedly promised, and said with a smile: "There is such a good collection of herbs here, you just drive me out, I'm not happy yet." ”

Hui Niang smiled, walked out of the courtyard, and walked all the way north, finally stopping in front of a ladder made of vines - this was the only way to the outside world in the Medicine Immortal Valley.

When the first rays of sunlight shone into the valley in the morning, the figure of a young man appeared from the end of the ladder, and he jumped into the valley in three or two strokes with a sharp posture, and saw Hui Niang waiting for him below, he was stunned at first, then bowed and saluted, and said: "Hui Niang, I haven't seen you for a long time, you look much younger." ”

Hui Niang was not in the mood to joke with him, but smiled reluctantly.

Xiao Hao saw that there was a problem at a glance, and asked with concern, "Is something wrong?" ”

Hui Niang didn't reply to him immediately, but just turned around and led him in the direction of the main courtyard.

Xiao Hao followed behind Hui Niang, turned his head to look in the direction of the cabin, and the doubts in his heart deepened.

When he arrived at the main courtyard, Hui Niang arranged for him to sit down in the hall and made him tea, but Xiao Hao couldn't sit still anymore, and said directly: "Hui Niang, you and I are not outsiders, we have been working together for Mr. Liu for so many years, you might as well say anything directly, is there something wrong with 'Su Poison Incense'?" ”

Hui Niang also had no intention of concealing it, and told Xiao Hao about what happened, but only skipped Ah Zi's part.

"Mr. Liu is still in the cabin?" Xiao Hao listened and asked in a deep voice.

Hui Niang nodded.

"I'll go to the cabin." Xiao Hao said, got up and was about to go out.

Hui Niang hurriedly grabbed him, and shook her head at him with a firm look in her eyes.

Xiao Hao has been transporting goods for Liu Siqi for nearly ten years, and of course he knows Mr. Liu's temper, this time Hui Niang went directly to the entrance of the valley to block herself, and then directly brought herself to the hall to drink tea, naturally Mr. Liu explained in advance.

Since Mr. Liu didn't want to bother himself, it was best for him to stay here and wait.

Thinking of this, he nodded and smiled at Hui Niang, and sat back in his seat.

Hui Niang was relieved and brought him some refreshments.

Xiao Hao was able to talk to Hui Niang about what he had seen and heard outside, but seeing that the sun was rising and he couldn't get the "vegetarian poison incense", he was afraid that it would be difficult to send the spices to the nearest post station before dark, and it would be difficult to hand over the spices at the specified time......

If it's an ordinary customer, it's okay, but it's a poisonous incense...... He really offended the one on the west, but he couldn't afford it......

Thinking of this, Xiao Hao couldn't sit still again, he got up again, and wanted to go to the cabin.

Hui Niang tried to stop him from behind, but he dragged him out of the hall.

"Hui Niang, you just let me go to the cabin to take a look, if it can be shipped, I have to ask, so let Mr. give me a good word, I also know it in my heart, what is it like this?"

The more Xiao Hao spoke, the more anxious he became, and his voice also rose.

Ah Zi, who had been copying books in the study, heard the movement, put down the pen and walked out, and bumped into the two of them.

Xiao Hao turned his head and saw Ah Zi, stunned there, speechless for a long time.
