Chapter 21: The Inner Ghost
"What does Uncle Mu think of this pharmacist's temperament?"
"Hmm......" Mu Feng groaned slightly: "The pharmacist is always a little withdrawn, in addition to treating children, he usually asks Mufu for some medicinal alchemy, and only one percent of the elixir he refines is provided to Mufu, and the rest is owned by him personally." ”
Helian Liruo asked Mu Yi again: "Does Brother Mu usually have the habit of incense, who usually adds spices to your incense burner?"
"Sister Liruo is really discerning, for my brother is usually a habit of incense, like adding spices This kind of thing is done by my personal maid, saying that it is a personal maid is actually a distant cousin of mine, and her parents died when she was young, but she was also a poor person, and she was adopted by our lord since she was four years old. ”
Helian Liruo sighed and said to Mu Yi and Mu Feng: "Uncle Mu, Brother Mu, the second problem I want to talk about now is that there is something wrong with the pharmacist in the house and this distant cousin in Brother Mu's mouth. ”
Mu Feng and Mu Yi were obviously shocked by this sentence: "Why did Helian girl say this?"
"Brother Mu has been in bad health since he was a child because he was hit by a *, this poison is nothing special except for the slightly sweet taste, but this poison has to be heated to exert its effect, although this medicine is weak and not easy to be noticed, but only if the body absorbs it for a long time, the toxin will almost spread to the heart like Brother Mu. If I hadn't detoxified Brother Mu today, I'm afraid Brother Mu wouldn't have lived for three more years and would have died of poison. When I first entered Brother Mu's bedroom, I found the residue of this poison in his incense burner, so I suspected that there was something wrong with Brother Mu's distant cousin. Helian Liruo said slowly.
"Then why does Sister Liruo say that there is a problem with the second-grade pharmacist in Mufu?"
Helian Li Ruo said: "This is not difficult to understand, although this medicine in Brother Mu is *, it is difficult for ordinary people to detect, but the pharmacist who deals with medicinal materials every day may not be able to find it, this poison is not difficult to treat when the body is unwell in the early stage, probably any detoxification pill can clean up the toxin." Even if the pharmacist of Mufu didn't find out that Brother Mu was poisoned at the beginning, he should not be unaware of it after staying in Mufu for ten years, and it would never make Brother Mu's physical condition not improve so far, but worsened. Moreover, the elixir refined by a second-grade pharmacist was an existence that everyone would compete for, so why didn't he go to the Helian family or the Wang family but find the Mu family alone? Even if he was in a hurry to use the money, wouldn't it be more convenient to sell it to the auction house than to sell it to the Mu Mansion? After all, no one would be disgusted with the elixir. ”
Helian Liruo's words made the Mu family father and son fall into deep thought, looking at the contemplative father and son, Helian Liruo said slowly: "The reason why Uncle Mu and Brother Mu have never doubted these two people is because most of the pharmacists' personalities have a very high self-esteem, and this pharmacist has been treating Brother Mu with all his heart for ten years, you are grateful, so even if you sometimes notice something wrong, you will not go to your heart, as for Brother Mu's distant cousin, because she has been raised by her side since she was a child, it will not make people suspicious for no reason." Of course, this is just my speculation, how to conclude that it is still your family affair in the final analysis, and I think that coming to Mufu is not an inviolable copper wall. ”
Mu Feng, who was in deep thought, quickly eased his mind, Helian Liruo's words were really true, he believed Helian Liruo's inference, after all, it was impossible for the two of them to have not shown their feet at all after ten years under their noses, but as Helian Liruo said, they never thought of doubting these two people: "Helian girl, I'm really dizzy with old eyes, thank you for your reminder this time." ”
Helian Li didn't say anything more, it seemed a bit redundant to say anything at this time, she should leave time for the father and son to discuss the situation in Xia Mu Mansion, after all, she didn't want the Mu family as her support group to have internal ghosts, so she would not be at ease when she used it.
She smiled and walked to the desk and wrote down a prescription and handed it to Mu Feng: "Uncle Mu still needs to send someone to take the medicine for Brother Mu according to this prescription, and all the remaining poisons can be cleared in less than ten days, so I will leave first." ”
Mu Feng slapped a hairy chestnut on Mu Yi's head, "Stinky boy, what are you still doing in a daze, and you don't send Helian girl home." ”
After the two left, Mu Feng looked at Helian Liruo's back, and there was a hint of appreciation in her eyes, this woman has an elegant temperament, a hole like watching fire, a delicate heart, neither good at great joy, self-esteem, nor low eyebrows, blindly humble, with the name of "waste" and "ugly girl" for many years, not only did she not give up on herself, but also cultivated to a high-level martial artist, and practiced a good medical skill, which shows the tenacity of this woman's heart.
Mu Feng couldn't help but sigh: This Helian girl will be able to achieve extraordinary things in time, and a mere Aoki City can't restrict her footsteps at all, and I hope that it is a correct decision for him to tie the entire Mu family to this girl.
Helian Liruo, who returned to her residence, sorted out her Qiankun bag, and she found that she was also a little capital.
Although the deposit of twenty gold coins collected for Mu Yi before her treatment was consumed by the items she bought, she robbed the pharmacy, and the pills sold to the auction house gave her a deposit of one hundred gold coins, plus the eighty gold coins that Mu Yi got from curing her, she already had a family background of one hundred and eighty gold coins, and a number of medicinal materials, plus the Gathering Spirit Pill and other pills and some miscellaneous items found in the Qiankun bag of the thin man she hunted, she has now also collected all the quenching body fluids, Huitian Pill, Lingyuan San, and Gathering Spirit Pill that Taiyi said.
She looked through the bronze fragments that had been auctioned at the Arlan auction again, tried them in the usual way, and found nothing, so she temporarily placed them in the corner of the bag.
Calculating the time, Taiyi has been asleep for two days, and there will be no sign of waking up, Helian Liruo secretly scolded himself: Taiyi, you kid can really sleep, sister, I am ready for everything, but I only lack your east wind. I now want martial arts without martial arts, I want mental methods without mental methods, I want physical strength without physical strength, it is simply a fancy frame with the cultivation of martial arts in the eighth stage, Helian Li can't help but look up to the sky and sigh: It seems that I am now a golden jade and a ruined person.
The time of the family competition is getting closer and closer, although the family competition is to arrange the high, middle, and low level cultivators of the same level in the family to make moves, but even if she encounters an opponent of the same level in Helian Liruo's fancy state, she may not have much chance of winning, and the threat of Wang Ruolan of the third stage of the martial artist is still in her ears, and she doesn't know what kind of moth will come out at that time.
Forget it, let's call Taiyi first and see if there is any reaction.
"Taiyi~"
"Taiyi, are you awake?"
After a while, he didn't hear any movement, Helian Liruo secretly rolled her eyes, this kid is a pig reincarnated, so able to sleep, it seems that she can only postpone one another day to find Taiyi to guide her cultivation.
The family competition is getting closer and closer, and Helian Li doesn't have much time to waste if she washes away the title of waste and ugly girl in order to wash away the shame of a snow, she sits cross-legged and begins to silently recite the mantra to absorb the power of the stars in the air and cultivate.
