Chapter 32: The Cultists
Hu Huanxi swallowed his saliva, snatched the dried fish from Widow Liu's hand, tore off a piece of fish meat, and put it in his mouth.
The entrance is full of mouth, fragrant and umami, with a unique flavor of fragrant and crispy.
All fish bone spurs are purified in the fish meat. After swallowing, it is still full of fragrance.
Hu Huanxi's eyes instantly widened, and he exclaimed: "The taste of this fish, the thief is fucking delicious!" β
Hu Qing saw Hu Huanxi's reaction, and also ripped off a piece, put it in his mouth and chewed it slowly.
The wonderful taste made him stunned.
His eyes flashed: "I said that the people of Qinglu Village, how could they take fish on credit from us, it turns out that they have such a good recipe!" β
"Dad, we've lost a lot!" Hu Huanxi looked angry.
Hu Qing's blistered eyes narrowed, revealing a look of inevitability.
"You're right, we can't afford to lose anything! You go and call everyone to come over and discuss, let's finish this vote, and I guess we won't have to worry about eating and drinking in the future. β
β¦β¦
Xie Jia, Ji Wan held a small jar of sealed dried fish, and together with Gu Yiping, walked to the donkey cart parked in front of the courtyard gate.
"Ji Wan, why don't you let someone else go." Zheng looked at Ji Wan uneasily.
Ji Wan smiled and shook her head.
"Only I know the flavor of dried fish, what kind of dishes can be made, and there are Gu Yiping and Brother Qiangzi, don't worry."
Gu Yiping's round face dimpleed with laughter.
"That's it, Aunt Zheng, don't worry, I am with the master, and the disciples will do their best, and I will definitely bring back a lot of the master's hair tomorrow."
Xie Xianhua wrinkled his eyebrows uneasily: "Otherwise, I will accompany you too." β
Ji Wan glanced at his broken leg and asked, "Is that you taking care of me, or am I taking care of you?" β
Xie Xianhua was dumbfounded.
Aunt Xie, who heard that Ji Wan was going to Fucheng, got up from the hospital bed and hurried over with Xie Xianrong's support.
"Ji Wan, why are you leaving again? Can we not go? When you go out, my heart is always hanging! β
Ji Wan looked at Aunt Xie's worried eyes, and her heart warmed slightly.
She handed the jar she was holding to Gu Yiping, held Aunt Xie with both hands, calloused hands, and explained softly.
"Auntie, I can't help but go, Fentong County is too small, and several restaurants have joined forces to lower the price, our dried fish can't be sold at a high price, only by going to a bigger Fucheng, our dried fish can be sold at a big price."
Xie Xianhua sighed, walked on crutches, jumped two steps forward, and begged Gu Yiping and Qiangzi: "You take more care of her on the way." Then turned to Ji Wan: "The dried fish tastes very good, I'm not afraid that I won't be able to sell it, pay attention to safety on the road, go early and return early." β
Ji Wan nodded, let go of Aunt Xie's hand, and waved her hand at everyone.
Under the worried eyes of everyone, they got into the donkey cart with Gu Yiping and rushed towards the direction of Fucheng.
From Qinglu Village to Fucheng, it takes at least three hours on the way.
As soon as the donkey cart moved, Gu Yiping hurriedly found a straw mat for Ji Wan to lean on, handed out a wild pear, and then grabbed a pu fan to fan her.
Ji Wan raised her eyebrows, wild pears are not easy to see this season!
She glanced at the attentive Gu Yiping, and her tone was calm: "Something to say." β
"Hey, hey."
Gu Yiping rubbed his hands with a look of anticipation.
"Master, listen to Qiangzi, you are in his house, you can use a copper plate to shake it, you can make Hu Mazi move, can that method teach the disciples?"
"That's hypnosis, it's not that magical, it's not useful for strong-willed people at all."
Seeing Gu Yi's disappointment, Ji Wan nibbled on the sweet and sour wild pear, her cheeks bulging, her voice was slurred, and she changed her words.
"If you want to learn from me, I will teach, and if you learn hypnosis, you can also be a psychotherapist."
"Psychotherapist?"
Gu Yiping heard this term for the first time.
Ji Wan swallowed the pear meat, sat up straight, and looked more solemn.
"Some people are sick in the body, some people are sick in the heart, Gu Yiping, medicine is like a vast ocean, there are many branches."
There are six branches of psychology alone, not to mention other classifications, including clinical medicine, internal medicine, pediatrics, hand surgery, anesthesiology, ......"
"In short, you can't chew too much, you have to think about the path you want to take in the future, and learn deeper, so that you can become a big man in the field."
Gu Yiping was stunned and muttered.
"Master, no one has ever said such a thing to me, what healer doesn't want to know everything himself? But Master wouldn't let me learn more. β
"One person's energy is limited." Ji Wan said lightly, she doesn't have high requirements for Gu Yiping.
"What about Master?"
Gu Yiping looked at Ji Wan with burning eyes: "Master, how many branches have you learned?" β
Ji Wan rolled her eyes at the sky, and lazily leaned back on the straw mat, looking arrogant.
"My master said that I am a genius, and I can teach you any branch you want to learn. If you are really unwilling, choose one branch first, and then talk about the others after you have learned it. β
Gu Yiping, who is not a genius, inexplicably felt that he had been hurt by 10,000 points.
He glanced at Ji Wan angrily, and finally didn't dare to say the word perverted.
He sat weakly cross-legged on the side, his chin in his hands, and began to ponder, which one should he choose?
Ji Wan, who was disturbed by no one, simply closed her eyes and pretended to sleep, but in fact, her consciousness sank into the space and tidied up the fields in the space.
After harvesting a batch of peppers and tomatoes last time, the space is ripe again.
She needs to pick ripe peppers and tomatoes.
If peppers and tomatoes are allowed to grow, with the blessing of the spiritual spring, the two crops can fill the space.
The peppers and tomatoes are picked and placed in a space-specific open space.
This vacant land once stood a green bamboo building.
Qingzhulou is equivalent to the existence of a fresh-keeping warehouse.
As long as you put something in, no matter how long it takes, and then take it out, everything will be exactly the same as when you first put it in.
Since the space was upgraded, although the green bamboo building has not been restored, this flat land has appeared.
Ji Wan has experimented, and the function of storing items to keep them fresh is the same as that of Qingzhulou.
Ji Wan was busy for a long time, and when she finished picking the fruit and opened her eyes again, the sky was already dark.
After going down the mountain road, the ten meters high city of Zhihua Mansion City, the towering city wall with torches burning is close in front of you.
Gu Yiping is still worried about choosing a branch.
The hadron who drove the car, sweating profusely and chapped lips.
Ji Wan poured a few drops of spiritual spring into the water bag and handed it to Qiangzi: "Brother Qiangzi, you drink some water, I bring a lot of water." β
Hadron was already smoking in his throat, and he took the water bag gratefully.
Raising his head and pouring it into the air, a cool sweetness rushed down his throat into his stomach, and his exhaustion seemed to be rolled up, and he returned the water bag to Ji Wan with a sigh.
"The water in your well is so sweet."
Ji Wan smiled and pushed the water bag back: "Brother Qiangzi will keep it to drink, and I will enter the city with Gu Yiping." β
Qiangzi happily accepted the water bag and asked uneasily: "Do you really need me to follow?" β
Ji Wan shook her head: "Gu Yiping has come to Zhihua Mansion, with him, nothing will happen." β
Gu Yiping, who incarnated as a twenty-four filial apprentice, nodded again and again: "With me here, if we and the donkey cart enter the city, we have to pay four entrance fees!" β
Seeing that Qiangzi was still not at ease, Ji Yi thought about it and said, "In two hours, no matter whether the thing is successful or not, Gu Yiping and I will come out to say something." β
She hugged the jar, patted Gu Yiping, got off the donkey cart together, and walked to the team entering the city......
Zhihua Mansion is located on the border between Yanchang and Chiqi.
The two countries have not been at war for 50 years, and they have exchanged commerce, and most of the people who have entered the city are businessmen from the two countries.
It took two quarters of an hour for the two of them to line up to enter the city, and after entering the city, they saw the brightly lit street scene of Zhihua City.
The road is full of traffic, and there are many song houses, wine shops, brothels on both sides, and Xiao Guling sings endlessly.
Inside and outside the tall building, women wearing heavy makeup can be seen everywhere, and those men who are looking for pleasure come one after another.
What a prosperous scene!
Gu Yiping watched Ji Wan's gaze fall on the prostitute in the high-rise building.
He suddenly remembered that his master, who was still a little girl who had not yet reached the end of his life, suddenly coughed dryly: "Master, where are we going now?" β
When Ji Wan heard this, she immediately raised her hand and pointed to the tall building: "I want to go over there." β
Gu Yiping's body shook for a moment, and he almost didn't stand firm.
"Master, Master, don't you think about it!" Gu Yiping's voice trembled.
Ji Wan glanced at Gu Yiping with disgust, then looked at the dark alley not far away, and said, "I'll come when I go." β
Gu Yiping saw Ji Wan run away in the blink of an eye, and his heart suddenly jumped, and he shouted anxiously: "Master, where are you going?" β
Ji Wan waved her hand and quickly disappeared into the dark alley.
"Oops!" Gu Yiping gritted his teeth, stomped his feet, and hurried to catch up.
When he chased him to the mouth of the dark alley, he suddenly saw a fat boy coming out of the alley.
He was dressed in a patched black cloth shirt, his hair was tied up, revealing a smooth forehead, his eyebrows were thick and dark, and his skin was sallow......
Gu Yiping's eyes widened with his mouth open.
"Master, Master?!"
Ji Wan was in a good mood and turned around in front of Gu Yiping: "What's the matter?" β
"Why did Master dress up like this?" Gu Yiping had a bad premonition.
"Tsk."
Ji Wan was speechless about Gu Yiping's stupidity.
If it were Xie Xianhua, as long as he looked at and moved, he could guess the follow-up.
Suddenly, she thought that she was still Xie Xianhua's fiancΓ©e......
Ji Wan coughed dryly, covered her weak heart, put on a small face, and said to Gu Yiping.
"We'll go to the Golden Cave in a while, and don't tell anyone about this place when we go back, otherwise."
She paused, thought for a moment, grinded her teeth and hummed: "Otherwise, I will be expelled from the division!" β
Gu Yi's face was bitter, he didn't dare to speak, he followed Ji Wan dejectedly, and walked towards the prosperous land of fireworks.
As soon as I walked into Fireworks Alley, the mellow aroma of wine and the thick and light aroma of rouge came to my nose.
On the street, Ji Wan walked in front of her in a patched black cloth shirt, followed by one behind her, wearing a blue cloth robe, crying with a baby face, and holding the cream boy of the earthen altar in her arms.
These two people are abruptly sandwiched among a group of rich and noble people wearing aya luo and jade pendants around their waists, which is particularly eye-catching.
Standing upstairs, the thin girls of Feihuanyan unconsciously focused their eyes on them, and felt that these two people were much more interesting than the same benefactors.
A naughty girl had the idea of teasing, wrapped the champa in flowers, and threw it at Ji Wan and Gu Yiping.
Gu Yiping, who was smashed in the head of the champa, had a red face and red ears, squeaked and screamed in fright, jumping on the spot, causing the girls upstairs to cover their mouths and laugh.
Ji Wan calmly tore off the champa that fell on her head, and went straight to the family, where there were not many guests, and there was a flower building in the building where silk and bamboo songs and fish came out.
"I'm sorry, the guest officer can't go in." Before she could enter the door, two people hiding in the shadows suddenly appeared and stopped her.
Gu Yiping, who caught up, had his eyes lit up and smiled happily: "Master, look, you can't enter, right?" Let's go. β
"I have a business to talk to your host." Ji Wan is generous.
The two black-clothed guards glanced at each other and shook their heads: "Our boss is very busy, I won't see you, please leave." β
"If I have to see your host, what are the conditions?" Her voice was still calm.
The eyes of the two guards fell on Ji Wan's patched clothes, and the meaning was self-evident.
"Hey, you can't look down on people!" Gu Yiping was not happy, and Geng was more honest.
"My master's future reputation can scare you to death!"
Ji Yi covered her forehead, Gu Yiping deliberately offended people, right?
The two guards were scolded as dogs, their faces sank, they rolled up their sleeves, and shouted.
"Someone smashed the field!"
In an instant, more than a dozen guards dressed in the same clothes surrounded them from all directions.
