Chapter 164: The Wounded Man
Xie Yurou's matter was finally solved perfectly, Xie Fuyao calculated the time, and it seemed that it was not long before the arrival of the plague.
It was also boring to stay in the mansion left and right, and Xie Fuyao planned to take Ziyun and Ziyu out for a walk.
After the reconstruction of the disaster area, the street returned to its former liveliness, and even the business of the new thatched cottage was much better.
The shopkeeper saw that Xie Fuyao was coming, and his words were full of earnest words, "Why did you come here on such a cold day in the young owner's house?"
The shopkeeper said and stuffed a hand stove into Xie Fuyao's hand, "What do you want to order, just greet me, why don't you need to come in person." ”
"If you have nothing to do, just come and take a look, don't be nervous. Xie Fuyao quipped.
"Thanks to the decisive actions of the young owner during the flood last time, the business of our Heart Grass Hall is now much better than other herb shops. ”
The shopkeeper slapped the stool twice with his cuffs and made a gesture of invitation to Xie Fuyao.
Xie Fuyao didn't shirk either, just sat down, and there was an extra cup of steaming tea in front of him.
Seeing the shopkeeper's such a courteous move, Ziyun and Ziyu couldn't help but cover their mouths and snicker.
"Shopkeeper, I have come here not only to have a look, but also to discuss with you. ”
Xie Fuyao took a sip of tea, and instantly felt hot all over his body, presumably this tea was a specially prepared medicinal tea, which had the effect of warding away cold.
"If the young owner has something to say, as long as I can do it, I will never shirk. The shopkeeper stood happily beside him.
"I want the shopkeeper to buy the bezoar pill on a large scale, no matter how much it is purchased, and hoard it in the medicine warehouse of Xincaotang. Xie Fu shook his lips lightly and said word by word.
The shopkeeper looked embarrassed, glanced at Xie Fuyao with a little suspicion, and confirmed that she was not joking, and then considered.
"Young owner, I'm afraid you don't know, this bezoar pill is a medicinal material used to treat the plague, now that the world is peaceful, you let me buy so many bezoar pills and pile them up in the medicine storehouse, I'm afraid it's useless." ”
Xie Fuyao knew that if she said this, I am afraid that few people would believe it, and she had no way to explain to the shopkeeper that she had the ability to be an unpredictable prophet.
"The shopkeeper doesn't need to say much, just listen to me. ”
Xie Fuyao's eyes were firm, and the words he said carried a trace of irrefutable majesty.
"Our heart grass hall is a small business, the price of this bezoar pill is high, and it is hoarded in the medicine warehouse, and we can't return to the capital, I'm afraid that our shop will not be able to turn over. The shopkeeper looked embarrassed.
"I'll pay for it, and the shopkeeper just needs to do what I tell you to do, remember, buy as much as you want, and don't be stingy with money. ”
Xie Fuyao's eyes emitted a ghostly light, she still remembered the horror of the plague in the previous life.
Hungry, corpses are everywhere, because there are no medicinal materials, and the best time for treatment is delayed, and in the end you can only wait for death.
"This ...... Shao Dong told you the truth, I am not stingy with this few dollars, but it is really useless for you to hoard so many bezoar pills in the medicine store. The shopkeeper spread his hands, and his eyes were full of helplessness.
"Shopkeeper, I'll say it again, I'm not joking with you, as I say. Xie Fuyao's voice was low, and his eyes were full of transparency and indifference.
At this point, the shopkeeper couldn't say anything more, so he nodded and answered.
"Shopkeeper, when did our young lady hurt you, you just listen to her. Ziyun said slyly.
"Originally, I was just a shopkeeper, and the young owner said that we would do what we did, but I was afraid that the young owner would lose money, and I disliked us people and didn't care. ”
The shopkeeper's face softened a lot, and he took out a pen, ink, paper, and inkstone and began to discuss with Xie Fuyao about the specific procurement plan and financial expenditure.
Xie Fuyao originally thought that this matter would be resolved quickly, but he didn't expect it to be so troublesome, and it wasn't until dark that these things were resolved.
"I'll leave the rest to the shopkeeper, and I should go back when it's not too late. Xie Fuyao got into the carriage with the support of this purple jade.
"It's so late now, I'm afraid it's a little unsafe, I'll send a few servants to escort you back." ”
The shopkeeper glanced at the dark sky outside, it was already late winter, and it was getting dark very early.
"It's okay, it's going to be fine. Xie Fuyao blurted out without thinking about it.
Even if something happens, it won't be good if there are two assassins by his side.
The carriage slowly drove through Stone Cliff Street, the remnants of the snow creaking under the wheels, and there were no people in the street for a long time, only the sound of the wheels passing by.
At a bend, the galloping horse suddenly stopped, made a sound in its nose, and turned its head to run in the opposite direction.
Ziyun's pupils constricted, and he quickly tightened the reins in his hand, which controlled the out-of-control horse and stopped the carriage smoothly.
"Miss, are you alright, this horse has gone crazy for some reason. Ziyu lifted the curtain of the carriage and said uneasily.
"It's okay, let's go home. Xie Fuyao stabilized his body and pretended to be calm.
"I don't know why, but I always felt a strong smell of blood in front of me, which may be why the horse was frightened. Ziyun was a little puzzled.
"Blood, is there anyone hurt, let's go and see. Xie Fuyao jumped out of the carriage and walked forward boldly.
Ziyu tightly pulled the corners of these unwanted clothes, "Miss, why don't you forget it, if something happens at night, it will be troublesome." ”
"This is in the city, what can happen?" Although Xie Fuyao said this, his calm voice could not hide his slightly trembling hands.
After taking a few steps forward, Xie Fuyao also smelled the bloody smell that Ziyun said just now, which was pungent and disgusting.
There are a lot of miscellaneous items on the streets, most of which are utensils used by the people to sell things, so they are generally not put away at night in order to facilitate the use of the next day.
"Who's where?" Xie Fuyao's eyes widened, carefully discerning everything in the darkness.
A pair of dark and deep eyes, emitting a deep light in the dark night.
As Xie Fuyao's footsteps advanced, he subconsciously retreated backwards, but there was a solid and incomparably strong wall behind him, making him unable to retreat.
The action just now touched the wound on the man's body, and he coughed violently, his eyebrows tightly locked, as if he was in great pain.
Although he was dressed in black, it was not clear what injuries he had suffered, but Xie Fuyao could really feel that he should be seriously injured.
The steel knife on the side shimmered with a cold light in the moonlight, he should be good at martial arts, but in the face of the approaching strangers in front of him, he didn't even have the strength to resist.
