Chapter Twenty-Six: The Invitation and the Three Beggars
The carriage drove all the way, passing a dilapidated courtyard, where beggars and wanderers were squatting, and when they saw the carriage passing by in the middle of the road, they opened their dull eyes, and their expressions were envious, and their eyes were full of sadness and hopelessness, gloomy and hopeless.
Su Xian just glanced at it, that is, she said that the rise and fall of the world had nothing to do with her, but she couldn't help sighing; "In one, you can know the state of the world one or two"
Yu Yi didn't answer, just lowered his head and drove away.
The state of the world?! In this world, it is so cruel and ruthless, and it is a blessing to be able to live
The place where the believers lived was somewhat dilapidated, and the people who came here were also illiterate commoners, and although the believers were not of high status, they were also very respected among the people.
Su Xian asked the believer to write a large number of herbal names, and then went back, but it was very expensive to ask the letterwriter to ghostwrite, and Su Xian paid a silver naked, which made her feel distressed for a while.
When he got in the car, Su Xian threw the silk paper to Yu Yi, and instructed slowly: "Know the names of these herbs, and find three beggars tomorrow, I will be useful." β
Yu Yi didn't understand Su Xian's thoughts, so he had to nod his head and drive to the north of the city.
Su Xian closed her eyes and rested all the way, lazily without any mood, although she always believed that she would be able to do it, but looking at this situation, she had no bottom in her heart, so she was bored all the way, and only when she arrived at the Grange did she slowly open her eyes and get out of the car, but when she got off the car, Hongzhu pounced.
"Girl-girl-"
Su Xian was almost knocked down by her, rewarded her with a roll of her eyes, and plucked her ears: "Hongzhu'er, what are you panicking about?!" β
"Girl's forgiveness, girl, girl, the main house is here"
Su Xian raised his eyebrows and looked at her, looking forward to her next step.
"Girl, girl, the city lord has an invitation to the girl" Hongzhu handed over the post, her face was red, and she seemed to be very happy, "Girl, very lucky"
Su Xian was a little puzzled, took the invitation and looked at it for a long time, inexplicably: practice for San Lang.
San Lang?! Sealed in the dark?! Then the abyss will also be there!
The time is tomorrow, Su Xian looked at Jiujiu and hooked her lips and smiled, very good, she was about to go to him!
"Girl, the mistress just sent someone to loosen the robe and face decoration"
"Girl, the robe is beautiful"
"Don't make a noise." Su Xian rubbed his ears, "Go run the yard." β
"Huh?!"
"Twenty laps!" Su Xian entered the door and opened his mouth expressionlessly, Hongzhu was already stunned in place.
"I'm tired, get some sleep." Su Xian drifted away, ignoring her anymore.
Su Xian's words Hongzhu didn't dare to disobey, she really ran twenty laps, and by the time she finished running, she was already tired and lying on the ground, and at this time, Yu Yi also led the three beggars he found to the door.
Yu Er was hanging the bucket in the yard, probably tired and numb, turning his head to look, he was so frightened that he almost dropped the bucket, he took a deep breath, his face was dark: "Yu Yi, what are you looking for three beggars?!" β
It hurt him to almost spill water, so much so that he almost had to re-slap again!
Hongzhu got up and wiped her eyes and looked at them.
"The girl has an order." Yu Yi opened his mouth coldly, and his scalp was numb when he was seen by the two of them.
It was already evening when Su was idle, and when she walked into the courtyard, Yu Yi led the three of them to her, at dusk and sunset, the robe of the white-clothed girl dyed red by the residual glow on the horizon, a gust of wind blew, and the clothes were ethereal, like a fairy coming from the clouds.
All three were young men, dressed in tattered and dirty clothes, but their hair and faces were cleanly washed, except for their yellow muscles and sunken eyes, apparently caused by long-term hunger.
Su Xian walked around, looked at the three of them with their heads down and didn't dare to speak, the corners of their mouths pulled out some smiles, and asked Yu Yi on the side: "This is the person you are looking for?" β
"Yes, girl." Yu Yi opened his mouth to explain the reason, "These three people are all lonely people, and although the three of them are down, they are docile and usable." β
On the contrary, these three people seem to be honest people, and there are no thieves.
Su Xian was satisfied, so he asked the three of them in a blink of an eye: "Are you famous?" β
"My name is known." It was a thin man who spoke, his face was extremely white, with a sickly whiteness, and he looked like a gentleman, but not like an ordinary commoner.
The tall, thin man with thick eyebrows said: "I am from Zhang Township, and the villagers call Ah Gao"
The short, half-grown boy scratched the back of his head and said, "The guys all call me Pebble."
"Are you literate?!" Su Xian's gaze fell on Sven's Xiang Zhi.
"My father is a low-grade and cold man, and he knows a little bit about one or two words." When Xiang Zhi said about his father, there was a sad look on his face, "I am a person from the Southern Dynasty, and I fled here with my father, and my father was sick and died, and he was in a lingering illness, so he became a beggar."
Su Xian's eyes lit up, she was looking for a literate person, this Xiang Zhi was really timely rain: "That's right, Yu Yi, bring the medicine list." β
Yu Yi put the hidden medicine list in front of Xiang Zhi and showed it to him, Su Xian smiled and asked, "But do you know?" β
Xiang Zhi nodded: "Ten of *." β
"You're all alone?"
"Yes." The three nodded in unison.
Su Xian was even more satisfied, and said with a smile: "Tomorrow, the three of you will follow Yu Yi and take this medicine list to find a medicine picker and collect the medicinal materials in this medicine list."
"I want to listen to the girl." The three of them nodded, their days turned out to be dark, I don't know what year it is, as long as the master eats and eats, everything is good, as long as he lives.
"Hongzhu, give each of them a bowl of rice porridge, and give them some rice millet."
Hongzhu couldn't help but be a little worried when she heard this: "Girl, we don't have much rice millet left." β
"I'm measured." Su Xian was not worried at all, she turned her head and asked the three of them, "Are you willing?" β
"Yes, I would like to serve the girl."
Although Hongzhu was worried on the surface, she gave each of them a large bowl of thick porridge, a large bowl full of enough for them to eat a full meal, and gave them three days of rice millet before letting them leave.
Yu Yi followed Su Xian into the lobby, he frowned, and asked the doubts that he had been puzzled for a long time: "Girl, I don't understand, why let these three people go to collect medicine together, if they know the medicine, if they collect medicine and sell it to the pharmacy in the city, it is cheap for them to live, why is the girl like this?" β
The medicinal herbs of this era are very expensive, even those common medicinal materials are not cheap, Su Xian wants to refine medicinal water, and the best is fresh medicinal materials.
Su Xian hooked his lips and smiled, and said in a low voice: "Yu Yi, you are wrong about this, if the three of them can't even resist this temptation and confusion, where can they be used by me." β
When Yu heard this, his eyes lit up, "The girl is thoughtful, and a certain shallow gaze." β
"The three of them have handed over their swords to you, if tomorrow, if they don't want to come back, let them be, but they are beggars, I don't believe in this evil, and I can't find one or two useful people."
"Yes."
"Yu Yi, pay attention to Xiang Zhi, this person, I am useful."
"Yes."
After so many days, the more Yu Yi and Yu Erhongzhu admired Su Xian, don't look at this eleven-year-old girl, she is really much more powerful than them, whether it is martial arts or strategy, they are not opponents.
The last touch of the sunset hung in the sky, Su Xian sat under the pomegranate tree and ate pomegranates, watching Yu Yi and Yu Er show the results of a few days of practice, although there was little progress, but Su Xian was also very satisfied, they were all very hardworking and teachable.
The pomegranate flowers that have just bloomed in the chaotic season have been grateful, Su Xian pressed the pomegranate into juice and sent it to Xuan's, collected the flowers that were grateful, and sewed a big bag of red beads and sent it to Xuan's, these fruits and flowers have some aura, I hope it will be useful to Xuan's, besides, the fragrance of this flower is also good to dispel the smell of medicine.
There are still four months to go, how can she practice the Life-Sustaining Pill, besides, in addition to the medicinal materials, she also has something special that she doesn't have-the Alchemy Furnace!
This is a big problem, without the Dan furnace, how can she refine the Dan!
Because Yu Er accidentally dropped the bucket and spilled the water, Su Xian continued to punish him for running the yard with a stone tied to his feet, the crackling was the sound of the stone rubbing the ground, and Hongzhu was making a twilight meal in it, Yu Yi stood in the courtyard and listened attentively.
Suddenly, Su Xian hooked his lips and smiled, his eyes narrowed slightly, and half of the pomegranate skin in his hand flew out of his hand and struck at Yu Yi's head!
Yu Yi opened his eyes suddenly, and in order to avoid the danger in front of him, his body fell backwards, and fell to the ground with a thud, and he could dodge, he got up wolfly, and breathed a deep sigh of relief, while wiping the cold sweat from his forehead.
"The reaction is not bad" Su Xian leaned against the tree pole and spoke leisurely, as if she had just done such a bully, and she didn't do it at all.
Yu Yi was very happy when he heard this, and he didn't care about the wolf on his body, and bowed to Su Xianyi: "Girl Xie pointed"
Su Xian's hand trembled, and he smiled and said, "You're welcome, you're welcome."
In fact, she just said it casually, and his Cheng dΓΉ is really nothing
At this time, the three beggars who lived in the ruined temple outside the city were sitting at the door talking, and what they said was naturally what happened today.
"Xiang Zhi, do you think those people are credible?" It's rare for Xiaoshizi to have a full meal, but he always has a very strange feeling that there are such good things in the world.
Xiang Zhi has been sitting on the side and pondering silently: "I thought that with that girl, I would have a bright future." β
The tall and thin Zhang Gao was very happy: "No matter what he does, tomorrow I will follow that puppet to recognize medicine, if I know how to collect medicine in the future, Xiaoshizi, then I will have the money to marry Ah Fang."
The daughter of an old man who sells tofu in the west of Afang City looks average, but she is already a fairy in the hearts of these beggars.
Xiao Shizi looked at Xiang Zhi and pondered, and then walked away, he also walked away with a dull mood, he felt that as long as he did better, the girl who was as beautiful as a fairy would leave him by his side, he was born without knowing who his parents were, and now he only wants food and clothing, that girl's eyebrows and eyes are very good-looking, like a fairy, he is willing to stay by her side.
It's just this qiΔ, Zhang Gao doesn't know, he has already fallen asleep, dreaming of marrying Ah Fang, saliva flows from the corners of his mouth.
Tomorrow, what will it be?
