Chapter 1 Fairy Water
"Gege, Gege......"
The sound of grinding ink sounded like a push, and it was particularly ironing in my ears. It was quiet all around, only this one voice echoed endlessly.
A delicate brush was moving on the paper at this sound, and the girl holding the pen was concentrated, and after a long time she glanced to the side and said softly: "The ink is thicker." ”
The maid who grinds the ink does not dare to slack off, and her subordinates do not stop, and the ink in the inkstone is clear and clear, and it is as straight as a child's eyes.
"It's good again."
The girl dipped her pen in ink, smiled and praised the maid, and once again waved her pen to put the finishing touch to the painting on the paper.
"Miss, what is this?"
The ink-grinding maid stretched her neck to look at the painting drawn by the girl, and she couldn't understand what was on the painting, as if it was a fierce beast, but why was she carrying a board the size of a mountain gate?
"Plank road plank lion, legend has it that on the mountain plank road, the plank lion will follow the traveler, follow behind the person to spit nails......"
The maid Chuncao understood after listening to half a sentence, her own lady must have read "Strange Stories" and other monster novels to see fascinated, her young lady is very different from the average boudoir woman, and her favorite thing to listen to in her life is those ghosts, gods, fairies, and monsters. Last year, she even made her own pictures and copied the "Classic of Mountains and Seas".
"What else do you want to do after you've finished drawing?"
Su Musha stood up and walked to the window, glanced at the sundial outside the window, and thought about the time: "It's almost time to go to the medicine garden, today is the day to irrigate the young plants of the Holy Lingzhi, and those buyers will come to receive the goods next month. ”
The "Holy Lingzhi" in her mouth is a peculiar plant, although it is not as powerful as Ganoderma lucidum, but its value is great for the sect that is good at using poison. This plant can still grow even if it is irrigated with poison, and at the same time, it will be full of resistance to the poison, so that it will grow into an "antidote".
The statement that it has been open for a year is a little exaggerated, but the Holy Lingzhi is indeed the main source of money for the Xiaoxiao Gang.
However, the reason why the Xiaoxiao Gang is called "Xiaoxiao Gang" instead of "Lingzhi Gang" is because the original livelihood is not the Holy Lingzhi, but a drug called "Xiaoxiao San". Xiaoxiaosan has analgesic, anesthesia and other effects, and it is by relying on this kind of drug comparable to hemp boiling that Xiaoxiaobang has opened the market in the entire Kyushu mainland.
But that was all the old thing ten or twenty years ago, since I had the Holy Lingzhi that collected money, I smiled and laughed like a child left in the main room of the pioneer, and gradually became less and less taken seriously.
Chuncao nodded without hesitation, although she was just a maid, she also knew the importance of the Holy Lingzhi to the Xiaoxiao Gang, but she didn't know why it was so important
"Miss, I heard them say that a Holy Lingzhi plant is worth a thousand gold, is this true?" Chuncao asked curiously.
Su Musha pursed his lips and smiled, did not ask who the so-called "them" were, and only said playfully: "It's good that it's really so valuable, we just have to steal two plants and sell them, and we won't have to worry about eating and drinking for the rest of our lives." ”
Chuncao sneered, and heard Su Mushu continue: "However, the number of Holy Lingzhi is limited, and it has always been obtained by the highest price, and the cultivation skills are in the hands of this gang," she muttered and estimated, "One plant, a thousand gold, is worth almost fifty gold." ”
Fifty gold!
This number still makes Chuncao staggered, as the big girl in front of Su Musha, the monthly money in January is only the usual money.
Holy Reishi.
Chuncao weighed in her heart: It is worthy of being the treasure of the gang, a small plant is worth so much gold, and ordinary people can't see it if they want to see it.
Merely......
Chuncao thought about it, and her eyebrows twisted into a ball. Su Musha on the side was already ready, Chuncao's restlessness naturally couldn't escape her eyes, since the first half of the moon Chuncao said goodbye to her and returned home, she was often so stunned.
Su Musha understands this girl's temper, although she often wanders outside the object, she rarely has such a bitter and hateful expression, what is this difficult thing to encounter. Isn't it, her father and mother want to marry her off for a bride price?
Chuncao sighed again, and someone suddenly stuffed something in her mouth, and her mouth was cool and sweet...... It is the lady's favorite plum candy.
When she came back to her senses, she happened to see Su Musha take out another cold candy from her purse, this time to her lips.
Chuncao couldn't laugh or cry: "Miss is stealing snacks again." As soon as the words came out, she couldn't help but feel sad: such a capable young lady, but she didn't like the helper. What about the niece of the in-laws, who is not her own daughter in the end. A serious young lady has to save even a snack.
Su Musha didn't know her sorrow, so he only shook off his purse: "I sewed an oiled paper lining in it, so that the sugar can be stored for a long time and will not stain the purse." ”
When Chuncao heard this, she laughed, and finally broke free from her love, ran to the door in three steps and two steps to raise the bamboo curtain, and whispered, "Miss......"
Su Musha raised his eyebrows and asked with a grin, "What were you thinking just now?" Seeing that she was silent, she deliberately said, "Isn't it that spring has arrived, and the soul of spring grass has run away?" Ah, just now, there was a wishful man walking by the window? After that, she smiled and hummed a small tune, which was a popular love song in Yongjing.
Chuncao is quite ridiculous, the young lady is a few years younger than herself, how can she make fun of people like this, so ......
Improper ......
"Miss, let's go."
Chuncao didn't dare to entangle with Su Musha on this topic, so she only waited with her head hanging on the curtain. But as she heard the singing, the singer swayed briskly past her with a thick smile.

"What's wrong with you, why are you so silent?"
Listening to Su Mushao continue: "After coming back from the medicine garden, I can't give up," she paused, and looked Chuncao up and down, "Are you obedient and obedient, and you haven't walked around?" ”
Chuncao shook her head again and again: "No, no, Miss has repeatedly instructed the forbidden land of the medicine garden, not to break in, I have been waiting in place, and I have not dared to touch the ground......" She took a deep breath, as if she had made a great determination, "Miss, I, I want to ask you something." ”
"Well, you say."
"Does Miss know about 'fairy water'?"
Su Musha frowned, she didn't expect Chuncao to ask this question, and she couldn't help but tone a little badly: "What are you doing with that dirty thing?" ”
Chuncao's face was sad: "Miss, the Holy Lingzhi in our gang can cure all kinds of poisons, can it make people quit the addiction to fairy water?" ”
Su Musha heard the clue and asked, "There are people you know who eat fairy water?" She thought for a moment and looked cold, "Is it your brother?" ”
Chuncao nodded helplessly, and Su Musha said angrily when he saw this: "What do you care about him!" He's never been a peace of mind......"
Before the words fell, I saw Chuncao kneeling on the ground with a thud, and begged bitterly: "I'm not for him, it's for my father." The little brother is like going crazy, and he doesn't eat fairy water for a day...... That ghost thing made our family miserable, he stole his father's coffin and sold it, if it goes on like this, what will my father and mother do! ”
Su Musha stretched out his hand to help the spring grass and was silent.
Chuncao was crying and said, "Miss, if the Holy Lingzhi can save him, I ...... I'm going to buy one anyway," she said, gritting her teeth, "fifty gold is fifty gold!" ”
Su Musha smiled bitterly: Fifty gold is not a small amount. You have to rely on your monthly money, and you don't know what year and month you want to save. What's more, that thing is always in short supply, and money may not be able to buy it.
She had the heart to dissuade Chuncao, but seeing her painful look, the words turned into a sigh on her lips: That's it, Chuncao and I are different. She just wants to do her filial piety, so why bother with her intentions.
"Wait a minute, you take me to the place where fairy water is sold."
Chuncao was startled and blurted out, "Miss! ”
"I need to study the ingredients of the fairy water, after all, it is not the same as ordinary poisons," Su Musha's tone was steady, "If the Holy Lingzhi can solve the addiction of the fairy water, I will call the shots and give you a plant." ”
Chuncao was stunned and said, "How even?" ”
Su Musha blinked his eyes and said slowly: "The Holy Lingzhi is not easy to serve, and it will die if you are not careful." Countless young plants die every year! She sighed, very sorry.
Chuncao stared straight at Su Musha, with mixed feelings in her heart, and even forgot to cry for a while: What Miss said was an understatement, but if this matter was discovered by the gang leader...... The young lady who has always been nosy is willing to intervene, I, I ......
However, Su Musha, after making up his mind, began to search around the corners of the house, and said with words in his mouth: "I remember that I hid a plum blossom silver cake here last month, was it taken away by a mouse......
