Time turns again.

Su family, at midnight.

Su Ding and Su Ergou passed out at the same time.

Su San looked at Su Ding.

The string of Five Emperors copper coins between the fingers jingled and swayed.

Tonight's 'auspicious' ceremony--the desecration of the 'Five Emperors Copper Coins' was actually prepared for Su Ding.

If Suding has been contaminated, close contact with Jili will inevitably be affected.

Unexpectedly, his father's accident caused Ji Li's to be forced to turn to the Lord of the Gray Mist.

What's even more strange is that Ji Li has failed, and at the most critical time, his father and Su Ding were in a coma at the same time.

The mysterious spirituality of the Lord of the Grey Mist appears and disappears for no apparent reason.

If you want to say that this has nothing to do with Su Ding, who believes it?

Su San thought for a long time and left a sentence on the paper for his father.

"Be careful with Su Ding. ”

......

It was precisely because of this sentence that Su Ergou finally made up his mind to entrust his eldest daughter to secretly follow and monitor until he just started.

Su Ergou is tall and has a very strong body after years of manual labor, so he easily carried Su Ding on the carriage prepared in advance.

Ergou Workshop is also a well-known family in the town of 'Xiushui Piston', and the two old horses and the painted carriage are the wealth left over from the development of the year.

Now, as Su Ergou gets older, the axles produced are less than a year a year, and this carriage has been abandoned for some years.

If it weren't for the dignity of the family, Su Ergou would have resold the two eating materials a long time ago.

Old horses fed without concentrate are obviously lacking in strength.

Su Ergou whipped a few times, and the two old things who were as old as him snorted dissatisfiedly and began to bow their heads and move forward slowly.

At this moment, the night is deepening.

There is a dim gas street lamp every dozen meters on the street.

In the dim light, no human movement could be heard except for the sound of the machines turning in the workshops and the steam surging in the pipes along the roadside.

Su Ergou took out his pocket watch, and it was curfew time in one hour.

Although the town is protected by the Lord of the Gray Mist, there are always some evil things that cannot be peeped into the darkness.

It's best to get it all done before curfew.

There was nothing to be seen on the empty streets, except for the soot falling from the sky.

Su Ergou likes this kind of dark night too much, he took off his dust mask and said to the back: "Girl, do you know the steam locomotive?"

After a while, Su Qing's flat voice came from the carriage: "I know." ”

Su Ergou sighed and sighed: "Last year, I went to the county seat of 'Panic Machine Tool' to deliver parts, and the county lord's mount was a steam locomotive. That guy was bigger than our house, fifteen brass pipes lined up, and when they were activated, the black smoke and steam could be seen half a street away, and the bearings of a man high were smashed so loudly that the ground shook with it. The key speed is still fast, much better than these two old things. ”

The two old horses purred as if they understood.

"Oh. ”

"When Dad has money, he will buy one for you and Xiaoding. Yours as a dowry, his as a dowry, absolutely beautiful!"

"Hmm. ”

"I just don't know......" Su Ergou's voice was much lower: "I just don't know if Xiaoding can still ......"

The carriage was quiet this time, and there was no perfunctory response just now.

After a long time, Su Qing's voice came: "It must be fine." ”

Su Ergou showed his face, I don't know whether to comfort himself or strengthen his determination: "It must be fine!"

......

The carriage crossed two streets and finally stopped in front of a small building with antique gray tiles and white walls and a small gatehouse.

The small building is exquisitely styled, and the most special thing is that it is not surrounded by steam pipes that are common in other buildings.

The front of the small building hangs a golden silk nanmu plaque, on which is written the three words "Jishi Pavilion".

The plaque is flanked by a couplet.

Shanglian: Enjoy the warm apricot forest in spring, smell the fragrance of orange wells.

Downlink: Hanging pot to help the world, medical hall on Qi Huang.

Lao Xuanlang is a special existence in 'Xiushui Town'.

His medical skills are extremely high, and he has the reputation of 'Xuanshen Doctor' in several nearby towns and even county seats.

But Lao Xuanlang has a strange personality, and he has never liked delicate objects such as steam machinery, and he does it as he likes to see a doctor.

In particular, those who have fallen into spiritual depravity because they have been contaminated with some mysterious spirituality will not be accepted.

Many people begged their grandfather to sue their grandmother, but as long as Lao Xuanlangzhong didn't want to see it, even if the county master came, he couldn't change his mind.

Su Ergou can get acquainted with Lao Xuanlang, and there is another story.

The door of the medical hall was ajar, and Su Ergou told Lang Zhong in the afternoon.

Su Ergou carried Su Ding on his shoulder, and as soon as he came in, he smelled the bitter taste unique to the herb.

In the front hall, two fourteen or fifteen-year-old teenagers were squatting on the ground and rolling on the medicine grinder.

Seeing Su Ergou come in, the two teenagers first called Uncle Ergou, and then got up again and said hello to Su Qing.

Su Qing didn't appreciate it, and replied lightly, I am not your senior sister.

The two teenagers smiled, obviously knowing what was going on with this senior sister.

Among them, the slightly older boy put down the medicine mill in his hand, wiped his hands on his clothes casually, and smiled at Su Ergou: "Uncle Ergou, Master is already waiting for you in the backyard." Why don't I take you there?"

Su Ergou smiled innocently: "I'll just go by myself, you're busy." ”

They are all acquaintances, so the two teenagers are not polite, and after closing the door of the medical hall, they are busy grinding medicine by themselves.

Passing through two halls in a row, the innermost part is where Lao Xuanlang Zhong lives on weekdays.

As soon as I entered, I saw an old man with crane hair and a childish face, fluttering clothes, and a strange temperament sitting in the main hall.

In his hand was a lone yellow scroll, and in front of him was a green lantern ancient candle.

Su Ergou and Su Qing came, but the old man did not look up, still immersed in the world of the book.

The candle flame is swaying and the breeze is blowing, like the old fairy who is at ease in mythology.

Su Ergou put Su Ding on the small bed next to him, sat down next to the old man with a big grin, picked up the teacup and drank it all, but he still didn't finish: "Reading people are hypocritical when they drink things, so they can't change to a bigger one." I've brought someone, so let's take a look. Phew, took a mouthful of tea foam. ”

The old man glanced at Su Ergou, who was spitting tea leaves on the ground, and said cow chewing peonies.

He clasped the book in his hand face down, with a solemn expression: "Acquaintances belong to acquaintances, and the results must be reported as they are, this is the rule." ”

"I understand, I understand. Su Ergou agreed, and after a little hesitation, he whispered tentatively: "If I give you the whole Spring Palace map, can you not report it, it's the kind on your desk." ”

The old man who had just changed the teacup and slowly tasted the tea snorted.

His old face was slightly red, and he glanced at the female apprentice standing next to him with an expressionless face, and said angrily: "My own daughter is next to me, can you pay attention to your words?"

"It doesn't matter. Su Qing said lightly: "I know everything." ”

Old man: "......"

Su Ergou muttered in a low voice: "If you don't cultivate, you don't cultivate, what kind of master is I pretending to be." Every time I go to the county seat, you don't have to stuff the silver into it. ”

The old man's immortal fan finally couldn't pretend anymore, and immediately rolled up his sleeves and roared: "Second dog, if you kid wants to fight, let's compare and contrast now." ”

Su Ergou slapped the table: "Old Xuantou, who are you going to do here!"
