Chapter 18: Jean
Back at the bridge hole nest at Gusu Bridge, it was already twelve o'clock in the morning. The homeless men in the four holes below were asleep, snoring and occasionally murmuring. Hua Tao breathed a sigh of relief, he didn't know these homeless people, these people would change every few days, the only thing that remained the same was the bridge hole of Gusu Bridge. He knew that before the cold winter came, he should leave this bridge hole nest.
Routinely cleaned up the surroundings, and then turned out the last jar of Ganoderma lucidum Danfeng wine from the pile of bricks, wrapped in a broken quilt, leaned on the pile of waste bricks, looked at the blinking little stars, and drank the wine, all of which were so comfortable and harmonious.
Before I knew it, the wine was gone, and the person fell asleep in a blur.
An extremely brilliant white light crossed his mind, and the jade screen spun out, suspended in Hua Tao's dream. In the lower corner of the jade screen, the lady in the red dress who had been sitting cross-legged slowly stood up, holding her seven-stringed guqin, with a sweet smile on her delicate jade face, standing in front of Hua Tao with a fluttering fairy.
"Qin'er meets Childe!" The lady in the red dress bowed slightly to Hua Tao and spoke.
"You...... Are you a human or a ghost? How can you still come out and talk? Hua Tao retreated in shock. Previously, this lady in ancient costume had been sitting cross-legged on the grass, except for stroking the qin, at most she smiled at him, never spoke, and never stood up.
"Don't be afraid, Childe, Qin'er is the spirit of this jade classic, that is, a fairy spirit in Dahua Wonderland, because of your growth, my spirituality is getting stronger and stronger, after you eat the blood lingzhi today, I can get up and speak."
"Faeries?" Hua Tao calmed down. With the word immortal, he is definitely not a bad person, at least not a ghost. "Qin'er, tell me why this jade book came to my head?"
Qin'er shook her head slightly: "Childe, Qin'er is just a phantom, just now I can stand and speak, spirituality is only like this, if you want to figure out the secret of the jade codex, you also need to continue to advance yourself, and continue to increase my spirituality, so that I will know more." β
Hua Tao sighed, a little lost, the other party can only walk and talk, and there is no entity. He thought for a few breaths, then suddenly stepped forward and stretched out his big hand, directly to the beautiful woman's delicate body.
Sure enough, the big hand did not have a trace of hindrance, and it poked past the delicate body, and it was in front of the beautiful Linglong Jade Peak.
Qin'er didn't flinch, her face was shy, her beautiful eyes flowed, she shook her head and chuckled: "Childe, since you have found it out, why don't you take your hand away?" β
"Oh, I'm sorry, I'm sorry!" Hua Tao retracted his big hand, scratched the back of his head and smiled.
"It doesn't matter, the illusion is born from the heart, but it's just a phantom. If Childe devours enough spiritual objects, one day you can directly call out the qin, even during the day, and walk with you in the world. Okay, time is precious, you sit down, and the piano will give you a new song, wash your soul and muscles, and temper your body. β
"Good! Thank you Jean! Hua Tao was overjoyed and sat cross-legged on the ground without hesitation.
Qin'er took a few steps back, and slowly crossed her knees, put the seven-stringed guqin on the red skirt, and played it lightly with her jade fingers, and the graceful music stirred up, like a sweet spring of music, flowing in Huatao's limbs and hundreds of remains.
β¦β¦
A whistle shook the sky, and under the Gusu Bridge, a 100-meter barge was sailing.
The sun is rising, the sky is blue, and it is another crisp autumn day.
Hua Tao folded the broken quilt and stretched a long lazy waist, which was extremely comfortable. Last night's dream was still vivid, as if he had experienced it himself, and those graceful fairy music seemed to still linger in his ears.
"Beep~!"
A slight chirp fluttered in his heart, his heart was clear, and he was meticulous within ten meters of his body, even if he was on his back and his eyes closed, he could still detect the movement of the ants on the ground, and even the tentacles of the two ants were clearly distinguishable when they collided gently. A spotted mosquito fly buzzed three feet behind him, and the vibrating wings were dotted with small white circles the size of pinpoints.
"It's so clear! Am I advanced? Hua Tao was pleasantly surprised.
He picked up a red brick, and with a little force, he folded in response. With a slight grip of the big hand, the red brick creaked and cracked, and soon turned into a pile of red scraps.
"Haha! Breaking boulders with one hand, this is the realm of breaking boulders with one hand! Hua Tao shouted.
After a night of music washing, his body has undergone more magical changes, not only his body is light, but also his muscles and bones are strong, his energy is vigorous, and his reflexes have become very agile.
He was excited for a long time, and tirelessly crushed more than a dozen red bricks before stopping. In the small nest, the red scraps piled up on the ground, as well as the black stench flowing from last night's big feet, also stimulated his sensitive nerves.
β¦β¦
Another week passed.
Hua Xueying once again used the money she earned back to pay the fees due, and also made up for all the gaps in ordinary medicinal materials. Of course, she has no money to serve high-value medicinal materials such as ginseng and He Shou Wu. Even so, she spent nearly 20,000 yuan, and there was not much left in her pocket.
Hua Tao walked into Dahuatang, and in addition to Hua Xueying, there was another man sitting in the consultation room. Hua Xueying was taking the man's pulse and asked something softly.
"Huh? Someone came in so early! Hua Tao was secretly happy and walked into the consultation room gently.
"Hua Tao, do you still know him?" Hua Xueying pointed at the man and asked with a smile.
"Captain Xing!" Hua Tao saw the man's slightly dark and resolute face, and quickly recognized the person.
Xing Hu raised his head, retracted his big hand, and nodded towards Hua Tao: "Little brother here?" Wake up early enough, senior sister arrived for half an hour, you came, aren't you afraid that your master will scold you next to you? β
"Hehe, Captain Xing, you are right in your criticism, Hua Tao will be early tomorrow." Hua Taohan said with a smile.
Hua Xueying glanced at him: "Don't say it so nicely, it's not uncommon for me to arrive early, as long as I promise not to let the bad guys kidnap me." β
"Yes, yes! Senior sister, don't worry, even if you kidnap me, you can't be kidnapped. β
"Flim Flam. Uncle Xing, my junior brother secretly ran to the opposite side twice to sell pills for the sake of Dahuatang, and I was very worried that he would be eaten by the goblins inside one day. β
Xing Hu glanced at Hua Tao and smiled: "Ah Xue, don't worry, I, Xing Hu, will not be wrong to look at people, although this kid is a bit of a ghost, but he has a good heart, and he shouldn't mess around." But I don't dare to guarantee that he won't be eaten by Xue Baocheng's minions, there are mixed fish and dragons in Baoqing Building, and Xue Baocheng's methods are also extraordinary, those minions are ruthless, much more poisonous than the gangsters outside, they are really caught by them, but I am afraid that broken arms and legs are indispensable. β
Hua Xue Yingyu's face changed slightly, and she said worriedly: "Yes, Uncle Xing, I'm worried about death." If he folds inside, I have no power to save him. But now Boss Xue and Elder Lin have bluffed the nearby residents to death, and no one dares to enter Dahuatang. Just count on Hua Tao to sell a few boxes of pills in the emperor to maintain the faΓ§ade of Dahuatang. β
Xing Hu's thick eyebrows frowned, and he lowered his head and thought for a long time: "Ah Xue, Xue Baocheng is very meticulous in his work, and there is no handle in our hands, it is difficult to bring him down at once." But the people under him are definitely not so clean, especially that Ah Fei, who has been blacklisted, as long as he shows up, we will arrest him. Slowly accumulating, you will definitely be able to dig out Xue Baocheng's roots. β
"Ah Fei, the last time I saw it, it was in the Emperor's Heaven." Hua Tao interjected.
"Oh?" Xing Hu was slightly stunned, shook his head and sighed lightly: "It's a pity that we can't openly close the building and arrest it, there are some well-known figures in Shendu, and if you offend, it will be difficult for the police force to carry out its work." And we suspect that there is a secret passage hidden in Baoqing Building, even if the building is sealed, it will be difficult to catch it. β
Hua Xueying nodded silently, she knew Xue Baocheng's energy, more than ten years ago, he dominated Baoqing Building, and he had more than ten large and small renovations, all of which were handled by him, and no one could interfere with a few senior brothers, building a secret channel or something, it was not a problem at all.
"Ah Xue, you don't have to be discouraged. No matter how strong some people's dark ability is, they will not be able to escape the law after all, not because they can't do it, but because the time has not come. I can't Xing Hu, it doesn't mean that we don't have capable people in the police force. Protect yourselves, and don't sting them. Tell me, how is my body? Xing Hu saw Hua Xueying's depression, hurriedly cheered her up, and finally simply changed the topic.
"Oh, Uncle Xing, there's nothing wrong with your body. The main thing is to stay up too late, the pulse is a little weak, conditioning and conditioning, rest more, and kill the tiger is no problem. Hua Xueying cheered up and explained with a smile. After speaking, he began to write the conditioning formula, and finally handed it to Hua Tao.
After Hua Tao left the consultation room, Xing Hu laughed in a low voice: "Ah Xue, this Lao Jiu is good, I haven't seen him for a month, I feel a lot more handsome and strange, and I have a fight with Lao Liu, don't let him be planted in the beauty pile of the emperor." It really didn't work, and I tied him up with a nepotism. β
"Uncle Xing, what are you talking nonsense?!" Hua Xueying was a little shy, and her little eyes flickered.
"Hehe, I'll just talk nonsense. The old boy of the sixth child doesn't know when he will come back, depending on the situation, he is going to soar, most of them will be transferred to Kyoto, and it is not practical to look forward to him, and it is good to have a spare tire. β
"If you talk nonsense, I'll take you double the money!" Hua Xueying's face was even more red, and she looked at Hua Tao outside from time to time, for fear that the other party would hear the conversation here.
However, the conversation between her and Xing Hu did not escape Hua Tao's sensitive ears. But Hua Tao didn't pay much attention to it, but he just became more and more curious about the sixth brother in their mouth, the sixth senior brother Jing Xiaopeng.
