This was unanimously agreed upon last night, and Zhu Honglan once again said that he would let Qin Zhihong spy on the enemy, but in fact, he only said it to Lian'er and Qin Zhihong. Seeing that no one objected, Zhu Honglan continued:

"Then next, I will send Qin Zhihong to inquire about the situation in Xujialou, the specific situation will be explained to you by Monk Benming and Senior Brother Yu later, but in view of the fact that Zhihong has not yet learned a little martial arts to defend himself, it is indeed a little inappropriate to be alone, even if you don't consider the danger of going deep into the tiger's den, even if you encounter strongmen and robbers on the road, it is difficult to deal with it, so you have to find someone to protect it......"

Yu Qingshui smiled and said, "Senior brother, I think that all of us, including the brothers outside, are older than Brother Qin. At this time, Yu Qingshui called Qin Zhihong "brother", which inevitably confused the generations, but people who practice martial arts are used to saying this, so everyone doesn't care. Yu Qingshui continued:

"I think that although Miss Lian'er is a woman, her martial arts are not worse than ours, and she is from the inheritance of Jiang Laoquan's master, Senior Brother Zhu's fellow sister, she is foolproof, and her age is similar to that of Brother Qin, she is the most suitable to protect Brother Qin, she can dress up as a medicine boy, or the two of them can directly pretend to be husband and wife."

Only then did Monk Benming understand why he and Qing Shui wanted to raise Qin Zhihong just now, it turned out that he wanted to recommend Lian'er to protect him, but he was afraid that Lian'er would regard himself as an elder on the road, and if he didn't listen to Qin Zhihong's command, he would easily show his feet, so he called Qin Zhihong Qin's elder brother, so he immediately said:

"Senior Brother Yu, your consideration is really thorough, I really admire the monk!"

Monk Benming's words are not mainly to say that it is appropriate for Qing Shui to recommend Lian'er, but to praise him for his words. And Yu Qingshui was also afraid that Qin Zhihong would shirk it, so he recommended Lian'er, which was also intended to do what he liked.

Sure enough, Qin Zhihong also learned from other martial arts practitioners, made a salute, and replied: "Last night, my cousin told me that foreign religions were harming the people and colluding with bullies to run rampant in the township, and I was also indignant. I was originally a man in the rivers and lakes, and I have long been accustomed to eating and sleeping in the open along the way, and I have not encountered any danger, but with a person, it is in the way and distracting, and it is easier for outsiders to see through it......"

In fact, Qin Zhihong also felt that it was naturally best to let Lian'er go with him, and he was in his own arms, but after thinking about it, this girl has a lot of ability, in case she breaks up outside, she has her own hardships, so she retreats and says that she wants to go by herself. But it doesn't matter if she says this, Lian'er is not happy, in fact, she herself thought that she would be upset when she saw this kid, what good is it to protect this kid, she doesn't want to go, but when she heard this, she grabbed Bai Dao:

"Is it rare to protect you? So, my aunt, I really went this time. ”

Qin Zhihong said with a smile: "It's okay for you to go, but we have to make three chapters of the law." ”

"Which three chapters? Tell me about it? Lian'er asked with anger.

Qin Zhihong said: "It's easy to say, it's very simple, that is, after going out, I will arrange everything by me, and you are not allowed to do it yourself." ”

Lian'er was about to object, but Yu Qingshui smiled first and said: "Brother Qin, you are the main candidate for this espionage, you naturally have the final say on whether you act or not, Lian'er is only responsible for your safety." There are two more, you can also talk about them. ”

Qin Zhihong said: "No, just this one, how can it be so coincidental, exactly three chapters, just this one, promise me to take you there, don't promise you to stay where you are old!" He said this by glaring at Lian'er, but Lian'er was also unhappy in her heart, and said:

"Don't I have the right to be cheap?"

Qin Zhihong immediately objected: "No, absolutely not, I will write a letter of resignation to my mother-in-law and mother-in-law......"

When Lian'er heard the resignation, she immediately said, "Okay, okay, let's just decide." However, the boss was still unhappy in his heart, but since it was so arranged, Senior Brother Zhu also nodded in agreement, and he had nothing to say, thinking to himself, after going out, I will secretly find some bitterness for you to taste, otherwise you won't know how powerful your aunt and grandmother are.

After leaving the hall, Qin Zhihong asked Lian'er to go to his house, and Lian'er hurriedly said, "I'm not free!" ”

Qin Zhihong said: "Look at what you just promised, you don't listen to the command at the first sentence!" ”

Lian'er asked rhetorically, "Didn't you say after you went out?" Haven't you gone out yet? ”

Qin Zhihong said with a smile: "When I said going out, I pointed out the door of the hall, but I didn't say that I went out of the courtyard door. If you want to come, you will come, besides, you will go out tomorrow as a bell doctor, you are a little medicine boy and maid, come here to let you know a few common medicines, and then teach you a few soup songs, as well as the method of grinding medicine and boiling medicine, don't go to the gang. ”

So the two came to Qin Zhihong's house, Qin Zhihong took out the medicine box, took out dozens of flavored medicines in himself, ranging from a few taels to a few catties each, let Lian'er remember them one by one, and then handed them to Lian'er how to use medicine to grind, how to boil medicine, and so on. Then Qin Zhihong said:

"Bring the gourd." Lian'er looked at Qin Zhihong's treasure chest, she couldn't help but look stupid, became more and more curious, and asked, "What's in here?" Is it also medicine? ”

"Nonsense, it is a medicinal wine prepared with ginseng and other medicines, which can improve the central qi, invigorate blood and dispel blood stasis." Qin Zhihong said.

Lian'er couldn't help but ask, "Then didn't you choke on it last night?" How did this turn into medicinal wine? ”

Qin Zhihong smiled bitterly and said, "Grandma, are you blind or lame?" I choked on my face last night, and it wasn't because you strangled my stomach so tightly that I couldn't eat? At that time, there was no way, and I would have to choke to death if I asked you to serve water, so I asked you to use the medicinal wine temporarily. ”

Lian'er let out an "oh" and understood.

But Qin Zhihong sighed and said, "You don't know, it takes five years for my medicinal wine to be prepared, and it can be sold for two dollars of silver in a small sip!" It's a pity that I have this medicinal wine, I also felt that my life was not in danger, so I was thirsty for half a gourd, and I thought that I would enjoy it myself before I died, so I drank it openly, but who knows......"

Lian'er couldn't help laughing and said, "Who knew you were still alive!" ”

Qin Zhihong smiled bitterly: "Yes, I would have known that I would have drunk a little bit of food and rushed down the food, this time it's good, I didn't sell a little on the road, and there was less than half a gourd left." ”

However, Lian'er was even more curious, and hurriedly asked Qin Zhihong, "Then what does your medicinal wine taste like?" Can I taste it? ”

Qin Zhihong hugged the gourd and said, "No, that's all there is left, you are not sick, I still have to count on it to sell for more money, I can't let you drink it!" ”

When Lian'er heard Qin Zhihong say this, she was already very curious, and when she saw him holding the gourd so tightly, she thought that it must be some kind of wine, and it had the effect of prolonging life, so she put her hand into the middle of the gourd held by Qin Zhihong, and pulled the gourd out. At this time, the two of them had already fallen to the ground and scuffled together, both holding on to the gourd, one was to keep the only remaining half gourd medicinal wine, and the other was to covet this medicinal wine, so they had to taste it first and lose it quickly.

Lian'er saw that she couldn't get her hands, so she turned around and kicked Qin Zhihong's lower abdomen with her left foot. Of course, Lian'er knew the strength of her mastery, although she didn't kick Qin Zhihong couldn't stand it, but after all, her hand was loose for a while, and Lian'er added a lot of force at this time, so she snatched the gourd over, got around together, and ran out of the door with a smile.

Qin Zhihong also hurriedly got up, after all, he was moving slowly, and when he got up, Lian'er had already run out of the door, and Qin Zhihong hurriedly ran out of the door to chase after him.

Lian'er opened the mouth of the gourd while running, and poured it into her mouth, Qin Zhihong chased after her and shouted loudly, so the two of them circled around the big locust tree again.

After chasing a few laps, Qin Zhihong really couldn't catch up, and it was estimated that the medicinal wine was almost drunk, so he glanced at Lian'er and went back to the house silently.

Lian'er watched him go back to the house silently, she felt a little guilty, and quickly covered the gourd mouth and went to Qin Zhihong's house to see what was going on.

When he arrived at the house, Qin Zhihong glanced at Lian'er, didn't say anything, turned his body and put on the quilt on his head and pretended to sleep. Lian'er grinned and said, "It's only noon, and you're going to sleep here?" Angry? You're still a big man! ”

Qin Zhihong just didn't answer, and Lian'er also felt bored, so she put the medicinal wine gourd on the table and said:

"Well, it's really a no-brainer, didn't I just drink a few sips of your wine? Okay, here you go, there's quite a few! ”

As soon as Qin Zhihong heard this, he immediately got up, grabbed the medicinal wine gourd on the table, held it in his arms, laughed hesitantly, and said, "Do you know how much this gourd is?" At least a few dozen taels of silver, if Lao Tzu meets a dignitary, he has to sell him a hundred taels, you are good, you drink so many taels in one breath, at least ten taels of silver! ”

Lian'er saw that she had fallen for this kid's plan, but she had already taken advantage of it, and the previous thing that Qin Zhihong teased had disappeared, and she didn't take it to heart, so she didn't care about him at this time.

Qin Zhihong weighed it, there was almost a quarter, it was better than nothing. Originally, this was almost a big gourd of medicinal wine, and seventy percent was lost in one day and one night, although it was a pity, but it could only be accepted, Qin Zhihong could still think about it, and felt that the loss was irretrievable, and it would be good to have these left, so he immediately turned sadness into joy, and laughed.

Lian'er smacked her lips at this time and said, "When I drink, you always chase after me, and I don't taste one, two, three, but I think that although it tastes like wine, it is more spicy than ordinary wine; After drinking it, I felt that my chest was hot, but there was no burning sensation, but I was full of energy and comfortable. At this time, Lian'er smiled and said, "Why don't you give me another sip?" ”

Qin Zhihong hurriedly hugged the gourd and said: "That's it, you must not drink it anymore, unless you pay, although these wines are not much, for the sake of you being my cousin and sister, at least three taels of silver, not one less!" ”

Lian'er said: "If you don't give it, forget it, it's so rare, there will be opportunities to steal it in the future!" He said and prepared to go out.

Originally, Qin Zhihong planned not to give her anything to drink, but when he heard Lian'er's last sentence, he couldn't help but feel creepy, he would only have her by his side to protect himself in the future, he was not afraid of thieves stealing, he was afraid of thieves, he was afraid that thieves would worry, and he would inevitably have a nap when he was negligent, and when he couldn't keep it, the medicine and wine would be gone, so he looked at it and shouted:

"Wait!"

As soon as Lian'er heard Qin Zhihong call back to herself, she hurriedly came back and said, "What's the matter, have you figured it out?" ”

Qin Zhihong smiled bitterly: "I figured it out, I'll give you the last cup, you can taste it, I can tell you, this wine can save your life at a critical time, now the patient is in chaos, there is no condition at all, and there is no time to prepare, you are not allowed to drink it secretly on the road." Saying that, Qin Zhihong took out a small cup, filled it for Lian'er, and put it on the table. But when pouring the wine, Qin Zhihong accidentally scattered a few drops on the table, he quickly stretched out his tongue, only to hear a loud sound, and the table became clean again.

Lian'er didn't think Qin Zhihong was both indecent and a little funny, and said, "Did I say that this medicinal wine is so magical?" You treat it like a baby, and you don't let go of a few drops? ”

Qin Zhihong licked his tongue and said: "You don't know, this is called blood wine in our family, in fact, it has no name, it is called so by our own family, it is our family's ancestral medicine for trauma, it can be used externally for wounds, it can be taken internally, and it is more effective at the same time!" Drinking without disease also strengthens the body, and you will know when the time comes. Just now you robbed me of wine to drink, our festival is a write-off, starting tomorrow, I will work hard for you to protect me, I will invite you to drink this glass of wine. ”

"A glass of wine, embarrassed to say 'please'?" Lian'er couldn't help but feel that Qin Zhihong was stingy.

Qin Zhihong immediately said: "Women, it doesn't matter if it's good or bad, this cup will cost half a tael of silver, and you can buy two jars of ordinary good wine, do you say that I said 'please' is enough?" ”

Saying that, Qin Zhihong asked again: "I said that you are a girl, why are you addicted to alcohol?" ”

Lian'er smiled and replied, "No, my senior brothers usually come out to drink together, but I'm young, and the senior brothers don't let me drink it, but the more I don't let me drink it, the more curious I am about what this wine tastes like, why the senior brothers like it so much, but they don't let me drink it." So I stole their wine and drank it, and at first I didn't think it tasted good at all, so I stopped drinking. But as soon as the master left, I was sad in my heart, so I took the wine of the senior brothers to drink, after drinking, I felt comfortable, and suddenly felt that there was no hurdle that people could not pass, but that time I was also drunk, but the senior brothers did not blame me, and later drank but also asked me to go together. ”

Qin Zhihong let out an "oh" and said, "Then how about my wine?" ”

Lian'er picked up the cup of medicinal wine on the table and drank it down, then tasted it carefully, and said, "Speaking of taste, it's actually not as good as the usual wine, but it feels good after drinking it." ”

"Well, that's right!" Qin Zhihong smiled proudly: "Medicinal wine is not used to drink from cattle, but to save the dead and help the wounded, so in the future, this little wine can only be used to cure diseases, not to satisfy hunger." ”

Lian'er replied cheerfully: "Got it! ”

The two of them know each other a lot, Qin Zhihong asked Lian'er to remember the soup song he taught today, and know all the herbs in his medicine box, Lian'er knew that this was also to better complete the espionage task, so she didn't object, and memorized it carefully.
