Chapter 6: Driven Out
All around was a very dark wood, and the leaves stood alone in a clearing, and the surroundings were very quiet, without a sound, and there was a sense of silence.
"Third Brother Fan! Fan Sange ......"
Ye Zi shouted in a little panic, looking at the dark and secluded woods around him, his heart pounding, as if he would be swallowed by this darkness at any time.
What's the matter, isn't he with Third Brother Fan, why is he the only one left? Where did Third Brother Fan go? Have you left yourself behind? Ye Zi was scared at this moment, and the silent darkness around him seemed to turn into a demon and opened a huge mouth towards Ye Zi.
The leaves kept retreating, and I don't know when they retreated to the edge of a cliff, and there was no way back!
But the darkness in front of him is getting closer and closer, and it will soon overwhelm his body! Ye Zi closed his eyes tightly and shook his head desperately, as if he could get out of the predicament in this way!
Finally, the dark demonic mist still swallowed and drowned the leaves, and the leaves couldn't stop screaming in horror in their hearts!
"Ah......h
The pale leaf, who was sweating profusely, suddenly opened his eyes and turned over, and when he looked around, he realized that it was a nightmare!
"How could I have such a nightmare?! Is it thinking too much during the day? ”
Ye Zi's heart was shrouded in uneasy doubts, and he thought about it seriously: Although Third Brother Fan promised to take him to Sifang City with him, along the way, Third Brother Fan's behavior was strange, and he even said to himself that he wanted to promise himself such a thing! I am just a lonely woman, and walking with Brother Fan is a lonely man and a widow, so I should avoid one or two! Although Fan Sange later said that it was just a joke, he was still so uncomfortable!
Ye Zi touched his delicate and fair face, and said to himself with some melancholy: "Is it really because of this face?!" ”
It's not that Ye Zi doesn't know the trouble that this face will bring to himself, if he looks too good or too badly, it is trouble, and if he is too good, he will be isolated by jealousy and others! But if you're too ugly, no one wants to go along! Since childhood, Ye Zi has been isolated by his classmates in the class and alone, and at that time, Ye Zi's class had a very ugly girl who was also treated the same! At that time, Ye Zi still thought that since the two of them had the same disease, they also wanted to take the initiative to get close to them! But what Ye Zi didn't expect was that the classmate actually rejected Ye Zi's proposal, on the grounds that he was already very ugly, and if he walked with Ye Zi again, wouldn't it be even uglier?! Ye Zi still can't cry or laugh when he thinks about it now.
But now that he unexpectedly came to this world of immortal cultivation where strength is respected, his beauty has brought him more serious trouble than in the past!
It seems that his previous idea of relying on Fan Sange is unreliable! Ye Zi sighed silently in his heart, it seems that he still has to rely on himself, and he doesn't know how to die in the end if he relies on others!
Ye Zi opened the window of the room and looked at the sky, which was almost dawn. After thinking about it, Ye Zi felt that he would definitely not be able to hide from the third brother Fan next door when he opened the door at this time, after all, the other party was a cultivator, and his ear power was extraordinary, and he couldn't do it silently. But I can't tell Third Brother Fan that I don't believe him anymore, so I have to go out and buy some self-defense items!
The inn is not high, Ye Zi lives in a room on the second floor, and the downstairs is flat, Ye Zi roughly estimated, the window is about three meters high from the ground, and it is not dangerous.
Looking at the clothes on his body, Ye Zi groaned and had an idea......
Fan Sange didn't know what clothes he had in his bag, just wait for himself to go out and buy two new sets, Ye Zi, who had made up his mind, took out all the clothes in the bag and knotted them together, hung them around the pillar by the window, and then grabbed one end and put away the clothes after landing on the ground!
The leaf held his breath and carefully hung from the window to the ground, and there was no movement except for the faint sound of clothes rubbing. Ye Zi hid the two worn dresses in the corner of the inn and quickly slipped into the market!
Not long after Ye Zi went out, the door of her room was opened, and it was Fan Wenbai who noticed something unusual!
However, Fan Wenbai didn't know how Ye Zi got out, and Fan Wenbai, who woke up from cultivation, couldn't notice Ye Zi's breathing, so he came over to take a look, and sure enough, he found that Ye Zi was not in the room.
"Strange! When did you go out? ”
Fan Wenbai only went out while Ye Zi was cultivating, and didn't think much about it, turning around and heading towards the inn lobby.
Ye Zi only has a total of ten taels of silver, but in a small place like Guanzhen, ten taels of silver can be enough for a family of three for a year's expenses. Ye Zi first went to the clothing store to buy a few men's ready-to-wear clothes, deliberately chose an unobtrusive color like gray, looked at the foggy sky outside, and bought a padded horse coat to put on, covering the slender figure, and keeping warm, Ye Zi paid with satisfaction, a total of one or two silver.
When passing by a pharmacy, Ye Zi rolled his eyes and stepped into the store with his feet raised.
The pharmacy has just opened, and the shopkeeper is still sorting out all kinds of medicinal materials in the medicine cabinet, when he heard the footsteps and looked up, it turned out to be a handsome and extraordinary young man, with a fair and flawless face, a pair of phoenix eyes that are smart and bright, two crescent-like eyebrows, bright teeth and red lips, and a powdery face that is like a flower, which makes the shopkeeper who is more than half a hundred years old also stunned.
"Ahem......" Ye Zi has no time to care about the shopkeeper's gaffe, she has more important things. The shopkeeper woke up under Ye Zi's deliberate cough, and hurriedly nodded towards Ye Zi and said, "This girl...... Eh, little brother, what kind of herbs do you need? ”
The shopkeeper greeted Ye Zi and secretly looked at Ye Zi in his heart: This little brother is really a beautiful country! Isn't it really a woman? That's a pity, a good look!
Where did Ye Zi know what the shopkeeper was thinking, and looked around, this medicine shop is not big, only thirty square sizes, but there are neat medicine cabinets on three walls, and it seems that there are a lot of medicinal materials!
After pondering for a while, Ye Zi asked the shopkeeper, "I wonder if there are any medicinal materials such as drugs or poisons that can deal with wild beasts?" ”
"Drugged?
The shopkeeper looked at the leaf suspiciously, and only replied after looking at it. Maybe the shopkeeper didn't look like a hunter when he looked at the leaves, but he replied:
"There are drugs, but there are powdered ones, pills, and powdered ones can be applied directly to the tip of an arrow or the blade of a weapon, and it only takes a little bit to stun a cow! As for poison, I'm a pharmacy, how can I sell poison! You can go to the bazaar, and there may be some stalls. ”
After hearing the shopkeeper's words, Ye Zi nodded, and after a deep sigh, he said: "I also bought this medicine for my eldest brother, but I was in a hurry to go out, and I forgot to ask my eldest brother what kind of medicine to buy!" Look, why don't you take them all out and I'll take a look, and then I'll decide what to buy, okay? ”
"Hehe, you can ...... it"
Ye Zi looked at the powder and sniffed it carefully, there was a pungent smell, it was very unpleasant, it should be used for animal hunting. The pill is black, the size of a thumb, and has a faint smell of Chinese medicine. Ye Zi was not very satisfied with either of them, and his delicate brows furrowed tightly.
The shopkeeper looked at Ye Zi's expression and understood that Ye Zi was not satisfied with these two medicines, and his face became even more puzzled. Ye Zi raised his eyes and saw the shopkeeper's expression, and secretly said in his heart: Oops! The shopkeeper is probably suspicious! Ye Zi groaned, gritted his teeth and said to the shopkeeper sincerely: "Actually, I don't hide it from the shopkeeper, I bought this medicine for self-defense!" I, I'm going to go far away, I'm afraid that something will happen on the road, so ......
"Oh! I see...... Little brother, ...... wait" After listening to Ye Zi's words, the shopkeeper suddenly realized, nodded in understanding, and said with a smile.
I saw the shopkeeper walk to a corner and solemnly take out a black wooden box, which may have not been opened for a long time and has been covered with a thick layer of ash. The shopkeeper gently wiped off the dust on the wooden box, and then gently opened the wooden box, and then looked at Ye Zi with a smile and said: "This thing is still a guest who grabbed medicine before, because there was no money to pay for the medicine, mortgaged to me, I thought it couldn't be sold, it's been several years, I didn't expect to wait until the little brother needs this thing today!" ”
When Ye Zi heard the shopkeeper's words, he couldn't help but be very curious in his heart, what was it that made the shopkeeper so solemn. The shopkeeper seemed to understand the curiosity of the leaf, and gently pushed the box in front of the leaf, and the leaf saw clearly that the box was covered with a layer of red flannel, and two sachet-like tassel pendants were placed on the cloth. Ye Zi's delicate little face looked at the shopkeeper suspiciously, and he didn't understand what he had to do with these two pendants when he bought drugs?
The shopkeeper seemed to see through the mind of the leaves, and the old man's face was full of wrinkles and smiled: "Little brother, do you know what this is?" ”
Ye Zi shook his head gently, and when he saw the mysterious look of the shopkeeper, he became even more curious.
"This red is a sachet made of dried grass leaves, the grass itself is colorless and tasteless, this sachet adds a lily, it smells like an ordinary sachet, but as long as people smell more than two breaths, they can fall asleep unconsciously, and they can wake up after three days!"
When Ye Zi heard this, he was ecstatic, this was exactly what he needed, but looking at the solemn appearance of the shopkeeper, it was estimated that it was not cheap, and he didn't have much money on him, so he didn't know if it was enough to buy this sachet pendant.
Thinking of this, Ye Zi turned to look at the other green sachet in the box, and asked the shopkeeper curiously: "Then, ...... this green one?" ”
The shopkeeper smiled and said: "This incense is too domineering, so it is also equipped with an antidote, this green sachet is, the person who is addicted to medicine smells this green sachet, and he will wake up in a moment." ”
"Usually put two sachets together, it won't be fine to smell, once the two sachets are separated, as soon as you smell the red sachet, you will be unconscious, remember!"
"I see." Ye Zi nodded suddenly, worried that he didn't have enough money to buy it, so he asked a little worriedly: "I don't know how to sell this shopkeeper?" ”
After hearing Ye Zi's words, the shopkeeper groaned for a moment before saying, "That guest owes five taels of silver for medicine. Ay...... I didn't want to give it to him on credit, but for the sake of his innocent heart, his wife, the high fever did not go away, and he was about to die, so he agreed to mortgage this thing, but after so many years, he did not come back to get it. In this case, you can give me five taels of silver as money for medicine, and where is anyone willing to buy this thing in such a small place! ”
After listening to the shopkeeper's words, Ye Zi felt a burst of ecstasy, and hurriedly took out five taels of silver to pay the shopkeeper, and the shopkeeper handed it to Ye Zi together with the box, and instructed the leaves not to be opened at will, so as not to overflow the smell of **incense.
