Chapter 56: Preparing the Elixir

Today's second watch, frantically begging for flowers!!!

=======================As the old landlord said, Niu Xiaohua is a sensible and capable good girl, and people pity her, and they can't bear to hurt her.

Through the conversation, Sui Ge also knew about Niu Xiaohua's life and family background.

The place where Niu Xiaohua is located is called Bailiugou, which is almost 100 miles away from Yongquan Village, but this place is even more remote and backward than Yongquan Village, and the remnants of feudal ideology are very strict. The so-called mountain high emperor is far away, and in Bailiugou, the order is still based on the family rules.

In Bailiugou, the ancestral hall is the court.

The influence of the outside world's jurisprudence in Bailiugou is almost insignificant.

Because of this, today's Bailiugou still pays attention to the superiority of men and women, the orders of parents, and clan rules.

Although Niu Xiaohua is just sixteen years old this year, according to the tradition of Bailiugou, she has reached the age of marriage, so the family is eager to marry her. In addition, Niu Xiaohua also has a big brother, who has not yet married, and the main family is short of money, so Niu Xiaohua's parents and brother are planning to marry her "at a high price", and then use the money to repair a house for her eldest brother and marry a daughter-in-law.

marrying a girl is almost a woman's sale.

In the eyes of many people, this is simply a thing that is inferior to beasts, but in places like Bailiugou, this kind of thing is very common.

As the "richest man" in Yongquan Village, the "famous doctor" within a radius of 100 miles, and Sui Ge of the old landlord's family, is simply the sweet spot in the eyes of many middle-aged women, so the Niu family naturally asked someone to send the photo of Niu Xiaohua to the old landlord.

However, because Sui Ge said on the phone that he was not interested, the old landlord was ready to refuse the matter. It happened that the old landlord passed by Bailiugou at the previous time, so he was going to go to Niu's house and push this matter away.

Who knew that before he arrived at Niu's house, the old landlord was intercepted by Niu Xiaohua. Niu Xiaohua told the old landlord and asked him to agree to this matter anyway, otherwise, her parents and brother would give him to a fool from another place to be his daughter-in-law. Niu Xiaohua was worried that the old landlord would not agree, and said that after she arrived at the Sui family, she could be a maid, a cow and a horse, but she didn't want to marry that fool from other places.

Although the old landlord is a stingy person, but the heart is good, can't bear to see a good girl like Niu Xiaohua fall into the fire pit, so he agreed to Niu Xiaohua, after arriving at Niu's house, the old landlord immediately proposed to marry, and promised to give 160,000 bride price.

In the eyes of the old landlord, 160,000 yuan should be the child support for Niu Xiaohua's parents and brother, just 10,000 yuan a year.

The next day, after receiving the bride price from the old landlord, the people of the Niu family were so happy that they couldn't close their mouths, and at this time they were eager to raise cattle and flowers for two more years, so that they could "sell" more than 20,000 yuan.

According to the custom of Bailiugou, the parents of both sides nodded, and as soon as the bride price passed, the marriage was decided.

The girl who marries out becomes the water that is spilled out, and it has little to do with her mother's family.

However, in order to prevent Niu Xiaohua's parents and brother from repenting, the old landlord also deliberately wrung two bottles of good wine and visited Niu Sanye, the oldest qualified man in Bailiugou, so that the villagers in Bailiugou knew about it.

Subsequently, the old landlord brought Niu Xiaohua back to Yongquan Village.

That's the way it is, although Sui Ge's classmates didn't agree to anything, but in the eyes of the villagers of Yongquan Village, Niu Xiaohua was the fiancΓ©e that the old landlord "bought" Sui Ge.

That's why Shang University shouted to let Sui Ge please drink the wine.

That's how it happened.

In Sui Ge's opinion, the old landlord really gave him a big problem.

Divorce, right?

You can't even think of such a thing. Once the marriage is withdrawn, it will force Niu Xiaohua into a corner, and after going back, it is impossible for people to remarry others, and they will endure the cold eyebrows of outsiders.

Dragging, right?

It doesn't seem to be appropriate. delayed the youth of other girls' families, isn't this no different from beasts?

Tie the knot?

No, I can't. The feelings are not in place, and Sui Ge doesn't want to hang himself from a tree so early.

Thinking about Tang Yuxi, Lan Lan, and Shen Junling, Sui Ge felt that getting married was a very bad idea.

"Xiaohua, you didn't know what I looked like at the beginning, why did you agree to come to our house?" Sui Ge suddenly said, "Aren't you afraid that I'm also a fool?" ”

"Heh~ Can a fool go to college?" The little flower smiled, like a blooming magnolia.

"Xiaohua, do you want to go to college?" Sui Ge's heart moved, and he suddenly asked.

Niu Xiaohua was suddenly a little flustered, her fingers were punctured by needles, and she said, "Brother Sui, you ...... Do you dislike my low culture? Don't worry, I'm self-aware, and I know I'm not worthy of you. You treat me as a ...... Okay, girl, I just need to have a place to stay, and I don't dare to think about anything else. ”

Servant girl?

Sui Ge didn't expect Niu Xiaohua to position himself so low, he really didn't know what kind of Senluo Difu was in Bailiugou, it seemed that he would have the opportunity in the future, but he would have to go and see it.

"Xiaohua, you're thinking too much." Sui Ge said calmly, "You are a good girl, how can I dislike you." Also, you don't have to think too low of yourself. We have only just met, life is still long, and no one can predict what will develop in the future. However, since you have come to our house, you are not a maid, let alone a servant. At least, now you can be my sister. ”

Xiaohua looked at Sui Ge in a daze, her eyes were full of gratitude and joy, she never thought that in the family she was born in, the affection and warmth that she didn't feel would be felt in a strange family.

A few drops of crystal water rolled down Niu Xiaohua's face, and she seemed to have forgotten even the fingers that had been pricked by the needle.

At this time, Niu Xiaohua suddenly remembered the deceased grandmother, she once said to Xiaohua: "Xiaohua, although the status of our women's family is low, but compared with men, we have one more chance to change our fate." This man is almost destined at birth; We women, in addition to being born, also have a chance to marry, if we choose a good in-law and a good man, it will be considered a change of fate. You, if you have the chance, you have to keep your eyes open. ”

Fortunately, Niu Xiaohua felt that she had picked the right person.

This "Brother Sui" is really a good person.

Sui Ge didn't expect that his few words would move the little girl to a great extent, and hurriedly comforted: "Don't think about it, your fingers are pierced, I'll go get some wine for you to disinfect." ”

"It's okay, I'll just suck it." Niu Xiaohua said, putting her fingers in her mouth and sucking.

Sui Ge hurriedly shifted his gaze, Niu Xiaohua's action was too tempting.

"Actually, I want to read more." After a while, Niu Xiaohua said, "But my brother said that it is useless for a female doll to read more books, as long as she knows words and moneyβ€”"

"He's a!" Sui Ge snorted coldly, he didn't have a good impression of Niu Xiaohua's family at all.

"If you want to study, then study." Sui Ge said again, "In my room, the textbooks for junior high school and high school are still there, if you usually have nothing to do, just read more." If you are really interested, we can send you to university in the future. ”

The word "our family" made Niu Xiaohua's heart warm again, and her eyes showed a look of longing for going to college.

So, Sui Ge suddenly knew what this girl thought, and said with a smile: "Since you want to study, it's easy to do." In this way, you usually read a book at home, and then I ask my grandfather to contact the high school in the town, give some money, and you can go to school. ”

"This ...... Isn't it too expensive? Niu Xiaohua said, but there was some expectation in her tone.

"Family, what's the cost." Sui Ge smiled.

Niu Xiaohua laughed, laughing so much that tears flowed down her face.

β€»β€»β€» At night, in the backyard of the Sui family, the bright moon hangs high.

The old landlord and Sui Ge sat around the stone table.

"Did you encourage Xiaohua to go to school?" The old landlord asked.

"It's not an agitation, it's that she wants to read more." Sui Ge said.

"Alas, you don't understand, a woman is virtuous if she is not talented." The old landlord said, "If a woman is too smart, it is not good." ”

"Are you experienced?" Sui Ge said, "It's not just a single person. ”

"You kid dare to talk back to me!" The old landlord said angrily, "If it weren't for your kid, maybe I would have a group of wives and concubines by now." ”

"You really think you're an old landlord." Sui Ge said, "However, you are a good grandfather. ”

"There will be less sycophants." The old landlord said, "Can I really cure this leg?" ”

"If it can't be cured, it's not called a miracle medicine." Sui Ge said.

"That's right. Are you ready? ”

"It's all right."

"It's almost time, let's do it." The old landlord said, "Let me see with my own eyes what a real elixir is!" ”

"Okay."

Sui Ge took out the other auxiliary medicinal materials, and then put them into the medicine jar and pounded them vigorously a few times, and easily pounded the medicinal materials inside into powder. Then, he poured the pounded powder into a medicine jar, took out the wooden box again, took out the three-yuan I Ching grass, took it in his hand, took out a pine needle, and nailed it to the place where the three roots of the three-yuan I Ching grass were forked.

The three crossed and entangled rhizomes suddenly opened, and then, at the bottom of the three rhizomes, a crystal clear liquid like elixir seeped out - this was the slurry condensed by the medicinal power and spirituality of the Sanyuan I Ching, which was forced out by Sui Ge with the Yimu Divine Needle.

Drop by drop, it slowly fell into the medicine jar and mixed with the other medicine powders.

There is no need for fire, no need for water frying, a pine needle will force out all the medicinal power and spirituality of the spirit grass.

After the three-element I Ching grass spit out enough slurry, Sui Ge pulled out the pine needles and put them back in the wooden box.

The three rhizomes of the three-element I Ching grass are crossed and entangled again, but they are smaller than before, and they are not as shiny and spiritual as before.

Sui Ge ignored the changes in the three-element I Ching grass, and focused all his attention on the medicine jar, he put the medicine jar in his palm, gently rotating and shaking, until the slurry of the three-yuan I Ching grass and other medicinal powders were completely integrated.

After about a quarter of an hour, Sui Ge stopped spinning the medicine jar and lifted the lid of the medicine jar with a little nervousness and excitement.

The spirit grass slurry in the medicine jar had solidified, and a black ointment appeared at the bottom of the jar.

Although the color is very ugly, when the can is opened, it is fragrant, and it really feels like a fairy elixir.

Sui Ge didn't want to wait for the medicinal power to dissipate, so he took out the ointment from the medicine jar and smeared it on the old landlord's lame leg with a "pop~".

"Gege~"

A moment later, there was a strange sound from inside the old landlord's right leg, like the sound of bones growing.

Along with this, there is also the pain of piercing the heart.

The old landlord screamed in pain and fainted on the spot!
