Chapter 317: Medicine Boy
I see, fortunately, the old immortal that the little beast said was Xu Banxian, if he were someone else, Ling'er would not believe it so easily, Xu Banxian's words would definitely be fine.
Ling'er remembered that Xu Banxian asked the little beast for the silver ticket just now: "Doctor Xu, what do you want so many silver taels for?" β
Xu Banxian paused, and said a little proudly: "The little beast arrested the old man and locked him up in this ghost place, the old man can't do it in vain, anyway, his money is ill-gotten gains, it's better to get some, and go out to help the poor in the future, and it can be regarded as accumulating virtue for him!" β
Ling'er clapped his hands and applauded: "Yes, I think so too, I also want to get all the silver from his father's nest, Doctor Xu, are you familiar with the little beast and his father?" β
Xu Banxian shook his head: "I've seen it twice, and I've said two sentences, but I can't talk about it." β
Ling'er was a little sorry, it seemed that Zhou Laosan's thieves had to figure out their own way.
Xu Banxian looked back at her: "Little girl, I haven't grown into a little beauty in ten years!" But...... This Lotus City is not a good place, why are you here? β
"I ...... I wanted to go to Beijing, but somehow I was dragged here and couldn't leave for a while. β
"Are you alone?"
"yes, it's just me."
"Cangzhou is thousands of miles away from here, and your father and mother are also relieved?"
Ling'er smiled awkwardly: "Doctor Xu, let's not talk about this, the masters of this wicked house were originally some murderous and arson, who specialized in abducting and selling women and children, and I came to eliminate harm for the people this time." β
Xu Banxian looked Ling'er up and down in surprise: "It's up to you?" β
Ling'er was a little dissatisfied and said, "Doctor Xu, don't underestimate me. I've got a lot of skills. β
Xu Banxian shook his head: "You are a little female doll, how capable can you be?" Those masters are used to killing people without blinking, not to mention the hundreds of families in this courtyard. Just let you deal with one of them, you may not be an opponent! β
Ling'er pursed her lips disappreciatively: "I'm not so stupid to go head-to-head with them, didn't I touch in and step on it first, and then find a chance to start?" β
Xu Banxian still shook her head and sighed, Ling'er turned her head to look around, and saw that this room was full of tall and large medicine cabinets, she stood up and leaned in to be curious about this and that. These medicinal materials are very rare, and I know very little.
Xu Banxian hurriedly said: "Don't move, don't move, these are rare medicinal materials." It was specially collected by the little beast for the old decay. β
Ling'er smiled: "Is there anything that makes him faint when he smells it?" β
"That kind of indiscriminate thing is old and disdainful......"
"Come on, you can even refine the medicine man, and you're still indiscriminate!"
Xu Banxian's face was a little red, and he coughed lightly in embarrassment. Explained: "I was forced to do so. β
"Then you have to do it again. Help me with some drugs and incense, and I will use it to deal with those wicked people to eliminate harm for the people, and it will also be counted as your merit, how about it? β
"This ......"
Ling'er said it casually, but seeing Xu Banxian's hesitation, Ling'er was overjoyed, jumped over and looked at him with shiny eyes: "Doctor Xu, do you really have it?" β
"There are no ready-made ones. Requires additional addition. β
"Okay, okay, you hurry up and match me."
Xu Banxian glanced at Ling'er with disgust: "How can this thing be said to be worthy?" You have to get all the herbs. β
"And what do you want? I'll buy it for you. β
Xu Banxian shook his head: "This medicine is not available on the market." β
Ling'er was disappointed. I just can't deserve it after talking about it for a long time!
Xu Banxian looked at Ling'er's somewhat contemptuous eyes, coughed lightly and said: "Don't worry, as long as the old man wants to match it, he will definitely be worthy, and when the little beast comes over tomorrow, I will write a list and lie that it is a necessary medicinal material for a medicine refiner, and let him find a way to get it,"
Hey, this is a good solution, Ling'er is happy: "Okay, then...... In the past few days, I will reluctantly embarrass your old man as a medicine boy, and by the way, I will find out up and down this wicked courtyard. β
"Medicine boy? This one...... How do you explain it to the little brute? β
"You just said that I was your apprentice, and I came from Liangzhou to look for you, and with my help, it will be much easier for you to refine medicine, anyway, that little beast wants a medicine man, and he won't care about anything else."
Xu Banxian thought about it: "It's okay, it's very boring for the old man to stay alone in this ghost place, it's okay if you come." β
So, Ling'er really lived in this remote small courtyard.
Early the next morning, Xu Banxian sent someone to find the little beast, briefly introduced Ling'er, and handed him the list of medicinal materials, and the little beast glanced at Ling'er, didn't say anything, took the list and left.
The little beast has no opinion, Ling'er is proud, he walks on the front foot, Ling'er swaggers out on the back foot and wanders around, and he is not afraid of the people who meet the inspection, but he raises his head and says proudly: "I am the proud protΓ©gΓ© of the old immortal, don't mess with me!" β
As soon as the old immortal was brought out, all the maids and family members avoided her with fear on their faces. In less than two hours, everyone in the huge garden knew that the old immortal had recruited a female apprentice from nowhere, and was swaggering in the garden.
It's so easy to step on it like this, hehe, look, these wicked people are too sinful, even God helps me!
Ling'er was proud, and heard a stern female voice next to her shouting: "Where did you come from, why didn't you worship Mrs. Ben?" β
Ling'er looked up, only to find that she was greeted by a middle-aged woman dressed in a dignified manner, looking at the large group of maids behind her, among them there was Lu'er, could this be the old lady?
Lu'er winked at her, and Ling'er hurriedly blessed herself: "Meet the eldest lady." β
The eldest lady stared at Ling'er and looked at it: "Which yard are you from?" How do you get into the eyes? β
"Back to the eldest lady, the little girl is a closed disciple of the old immortal of the Medicine Academy, and the old immortal sent the little girl out to find something to eat."
All the women were shocked when they heard this, and they whispered one after another, and the eldest lady's face also changed, and she said half-yin and non-yang: "Hmph, why does he need to eat since he is an immortal?" β
This is obviously vindictive, Ling'er naturally won't be stupid and not pull a few to answer the call.
The eldest lady squinted at Ling'er: "The third family is getting more and more disagreeable, and some messy people come in all day long, if something happens, I will see how she will end?" Hmph, let's go! β
The eldest lady walked past Ling'er with a straight face, and her maids also bowed their heads to follow, and Lu'er winked at her when she passed by, and Ling'er also blinked with a smile.
Watching the group walk away, Ling'er thought to herself, I didn't expect the maid in this wicked courtyard to be good.
Look at the sky, it's almost noon, I wonder if Tang Jiu woke up? When he woke up, he would have asked me where I was, and if he had known that I was here, he would probably have chased after me, right? I'd better go back and see him.
So, Ling'er swaggered to the gate, deliberately stood on the threshold and said loudly: "The old immortal sent me into the city to run errands, and I will return in the evening, you see Young Master Zhou, tell him that I am leaving!" β
Several family members looked at Ling'er's back and looked at each other, but they didn't say anything, each of them did their own errands. (To be continued......)
