Chapter 5: Lost Soul
On the 25th of each month, the village doctor went to the town health center to pay the account, on this day, Jin Cheng borrowed a motorcycle from Secretary Ling, set off from the village at nine o'clock, and arrived at the town health center on time at ten o'clock.
Jin Cheng has ridden this 125 motorcycle a few times before, and his skills can only be said to be average, but now his learning ability is super strong, and he can be proficient in driving after a few minutes of riding.
Along the way, because the road conditions were too poor, the speed of the car was always maintained between fifteen and twenty yards, this speed Jin Cheng had long been absent-minded, he began to think about it, what is the best way to make money legally, and the life without money is really not good. For example, this motorcycle, I will run to the town every month in the future, so I can't always borrow someone else's car!
But he is shy in his pocket, he only has more than 200 pocket money in his pocket, and he is embarrassed to open up to his family, which is really difficult to do.
When he arrived in the town, Jin Cheng didn't come up with a clue, he simply didn't think about it, and after going to the health center to pay the bill, he came to the leather market and wanted to exchange the roe deer skin in his hand for some money.
The leather market in Xinqiao Town is quite large, and the leather traders from the surrounding towns are concentrated here, which is not only developed in the breeding industry, but also backed by the vast mountains, which are deep in the undeveloped virgin forest.
On the periphery of this mountain, there are many villages, as the saying goes: the mountain eats the mountain. There are a considerable number of hunters among the villagers, and as far as Jin Cheng knows, there are no less than ten hunters in their Gangtou Village alone. Orion has been in this business since before the founding of the People's Republic of China, and although there have been several actions to confiscate shotguns, the execution of such remote mountainous areas is far from the same, and Orion casually hides the guns in the mountains, and it is impossible for the people at the police station to find them. Therefore, a considerable number of ** have not been handed over, which also leads to repeated prohibitions on the trafficking of wild animals.
Over time, the relevant departments are also turning a blind eye to this situation, after all, today's hunters are not good, they dare not go to the depths of the mountains, and there are few prey in the periphery, so it is good to be able to support their families, these hunters are different from those who poach rare wild animals to make a fortune, and there is no need to kill them with a rod. In addition, wild meat is a major feature of Xinqiao Town, and the superior leaders like to come here to inspect the work, and this "feature" is indispensable.
No one is perfect, leaders are also people, and it is not difficult to make a choice between trade-offs, and all happiness is the king.
As soon as Jin Cheng's motorcycle stopped, a thin middle-aged man greeted him, "Little brother, how do you sell this roe deer skin?" Can you show me? ”
"Okay, just look at it and give a sincere price." Jin Cheng untied the roe deer skin tied to the back seat of the motorcycle and handed it to the middle-aged man.
"This skin is well kept, oops, but there is a hole in this ass, and the price is much worse." The middle-aged man shook his head and said.
"Make an offer!" Jin Cheng smiled slightly, the reason why the other party said this is, of course, to bargain, and businessmen will do this.
"Little brother, I see that you are alive, it should be the first time you have come here, in this way, I will pay the highest price, two hundred and six, how about it?" The middle-aged man said.
"Three hundred, take it." "Okay, three hundred is three hundred, you take this money, I am very happy to do business, this is my business card, if there is something in the mountains in the future, call me, if there are many goods, I can come to buy." The middle-aged man handed Jin Cheng a business card, Jin Cheng didn't mind, he didn't think about the etiquette of handing over business cards to his hands, he preferred to be casual in life.
Jin Cheng took a look at the business card, a very simple business card, a name, Cheng Chuanyue, and a mobile phone number.
The middle-aged man obviously didn't pay much attention to Jin Cheng, a thin young man with an unattractive appearance, no matter how he looked at it, he didn't look like a hunter, and it was estimated that he got an animal skin by chance and took it to the market to sell. Giving him a business card was just a matter of professional habit, and there was no hope for the future.
At this time, four men walked out of the leather market, and in front of them was a young man in his early twenties, wearing sunglasses, with a white face and beard, and an extraordinary momentum, with some arrogance between his eyebrows.
The two men behind him, who looked like bodyguards or something, scanned their surroundings vigilantly. The other was a chubby middle-aged man, with a flattering face, walking next to the young man, half a position behind, holding a book of calligraphy and painting in his hand, and said to the young man: "Zuo Shao, you throw this picture to me, I will personally take the picture to the villages to find those old hunters to inquire, and I will call you as soon as there is news." ”
"Okay, you've bothered a lot, and I've got a lot of rewards for getting things done. We're going to go to other towns and villages, so we're going to take our leave. The young man said lightly, and walked towards the side of the road after speaking.
Jin Cheng glanced at the black car on the street, Mercedes-Benz S600, two or three million luxury cars, Jin Cheng secretly took a breath of cold air, this is not small, not the second generation of officials but also the second generation of rich.
Seeing that he is about the same age as himself, but he is sitting in a luxury car, the driver and bodyguards are complete, and he can't even afford a motorcycle, this is the gap!
However, Jin Cheng has never complained about others, he advocates his own strength and hard work, even if he is not admitted to a good university, even if he lives at the bottom, he has never lost confidence. Now, by chance, he has become a cultivator, perhaps the only cultivator on earth, and his self-confidence has also been established.
Seeing this kind of rich boy again, he has no inferiority complex, he firmly believes that poverty is only temporary, as long as the strength is raised to a certain height, with the means of cultivators, it is too simple to make money!
In addition to the cultivation exercises and medical skills, the memory left by the master also has the basic knowledge of formations, alchemy, refining tools and charms, etc., Jin Cheng has no time to study for the time being, he plans to start coming into contact with these secret methods after the middle stage of qi refining, that is, after reaching the fourth level of qi refining.
Having many means is also an expression of strength, such as formations, which can help the weak defeat the strong under certain conditions, or artificially create a special environment. Another example is the charm, which is even more magical, and the high-level charm has an incredible effect. Not to mention alchemy, alchemists are the most sought-after professions in the cultivation realm, but alchemy and refining tools can only be learned in the late stage of qi refining, besides, on this earth where there is a lack of natural materials and treasures, Jin Cheng suspects that alchemy and refining tools will be difficult to use.
Jin Cheng retracted his messy thoughts, and paid attention to this rich son, the car was a Beijing license plate, and it looked like a child of a big family, his appearance in such a small place was a rare thing in itself, according to the content of their conversation, he should be looking for something, and the thing he was looking for was on that painting, which also made Jin Cheng interested.
He scanned the painting in the fat man's hand with his divine sense, and found that it was a plant, to be precise, a kind of grass, a kind of grass that is very rare in the cultivation realm, but it does not belong to the category of elixir.
Jin Cheng was shocked in his heart, but on the surface, he walked quietly towards the chubby middle-aged man, "This big brother, can I take a look at the painting in your hand?" ”
The middle-aged man was stunned for a few seconds before he reacted, "Okay, take a closer look, have you ever seen this kind of grass?" The middle-aged man didn't expect a young man like Jin Cheng to know anything, he purely showed a positive attitude before Zuo Shao went far, and then talked to Jin Cheng with a pleasant face.
"Soul Grass." Jin Cheng said in a low voice.
The rich boy who was about to get into the car suddenly stopped, turned around suddenly, and ran towards Jin Cheng with a surprised face.
"Do you know this grass? Where can I find it? The rich boy grabbed Jin Cheng's arm with both hands and asked excitedly.
Jin Cheng glanced at his hand, and the rich boy reacted, and said with a smile: "I'm sorry, I'm too excited, don't be surprised." ”
"I just saw it in an old book, this grass is so scarce, I don't know where it is." Jin Cheng smiled and said.
Hearing Jin Cheng's words, the rich boy had a look of disappointment on his face, and stretched out his hand to shake Jin Cheng, "Get to know me, Zuo Jihui." ”
"Jin Cheng. The only use of Soul Attraction Herb is to treat patients with soul loss, I don't know ...... your family."
"You're right, my sister has been in bed for two years, her vital signs and all the test results are normal, but she has been unconscious, at first the experts thought it was 'Sleeping Beauty' disease, but my sister never woke up, so this disease was ruled out. The cause of the disease could not be found, and there was no way to treat the disease, so the doctor went home to recuperate, and anyway, he didn't take medicine or inject anything in the hospital. After returning home, my parents sought medical treatment in many ways, and finally found Sun Lao, an old national player who had retired for many years, and Sun Lao said that this was soul loss, and only by finding the soul attraction grass could there be hope of being cured. So for more than a year, our family has been looking for this grass everywhere, and you are the first person to recognize this grass. Zuo Jihui looked at Jin Cheng meaningfully and said.
"I'll tell you the truth, this disease can be cured, but with my current ability, I don't have enough of it, so you can leave me a contact information, and when my ability is reached, I will take the initiative to contact you." Jin Cheng thought for a moment and said.
Zuo Jihui gestured to the bodyguard next to him with his eyes, and the bodyguard immediately handed over a business card respectfully.
"Brother Jin, take the liberty of asking, are you a doctor?" Zuo Jihui asked suspiciously.
"Yes, barefoot doctor, don't worry, I'm not a liar, don't investigate me, if I know someone is investigating me, then our agreement will be written off." Jin Cheng said lightly.
"Doctor Jin, I was thinking, your ability is insufficient, can you ask your elders or master to come out, after all, my sister has slept for too long, and my family is in a hurry!" Zuo Jihui said sincerely, he didn't really believe in this doctor who was younger than him, but listening to his tone, he was really a bit of a superior demeanor, and he couldn't help but believe it in his heart.
"This, I can't help you, my master has passed away, and he has taught me everything he has learned all his life, and I am his only disciple, so don't hold out other hopes, wait patiently for my news, and take your leave, Mr. Zuo."
"Young Master, is this person credible? How do I feel unreliable. After Jin Cheng walked away, a bodyguard whispered in Zuo Jihui's ear.
"Regardless of him, we will continue to look for him, if he can cure the best, we will not delay if he can't be cured." Zuo Jihui looked at the direction Jin Cheng left and said thoughtfully.
"Zuo Shao, do you want to investigate this kid?" The chubby middle-aged man followed Zuo Jihui and asked cautiously.
"No, you can follow him, but don't investigate him, especially his family, the master is very taboo to be investigated. I only care about his medical skills, you can pay attention to this aspect, and report to me in time if there is news. ”
"Got it, Zuo Shao." The middle-aged man nodded and watched Daben disappear around the corner.
As soon as Zuo Jihui's Daben left, two young people came to the middle-aged man's side and shouted respectfully: "Brother Kun." ”
The middle-aged man's momentum changed, from the pug who couldn't stand up straight just now to the majestic big brother, "The kid who was riding the motorcycle just now, do you know him?" ”
"I don't know." "Not impressed." Both shook their heads and said.
"He is a doctor, his name is Jin Cheng, ask where he works, and you should know if you go to the health center and ask." Brother Kun said.
"Okay, Brother Kun, then I'll call and ask."
"No need to call, let's talk to the dean." Brother Kun took the lead in the direction of the health center.
