The next afternoon, I was sitting in the living room, talking to Sanhu and Boss Chen, there was a knock on the door outside, Lao Liu opened the door, and after the door, a eunuch came in, and the eunuch came to the living room to salute me and said: "Lord Lan is the head of my family, and the lord sent me, there is a letter 'handed over' to you," he said, took out a letter from his bosom and handed it to me

I opened the thick envelope, and inside was the detailed information of the eight major grain merchants, which was much more detailed than what Lao Liu said, and even how many guards there were, but it was about the same, I read a page, put it away, and said to the eunuch: "You go back and tell your housekeeper that I know about the matter he 'handed over' on behalf of me."

After sending it away, the little eunuch just sat down, and there was a knock on the door outside, and Boss Chen said curiously: "What day did my lord come to our house today?"

"Whatever, it's all about him, and you'll know when something comes later."

Lao Liu went out to open the 'door' and brought the man in, I saw that it was an acquaintance, it was the guy who opened the 'door' for me last night, and he was carrying a burden in his hand, and he also saluted first, and then said: "My lord, this is the 'medicine' you ordered from us, our shopkeeper has all equipped it for you, and there is also a 'medicine' room inside, you take it according to the prescription to ensure that your insomnia symptoms will be cured soon, and there is nothing to say goodbye", I know in my heart that this is the 'medicine' prescription sent by Wang Qiang, and the one who sent the 'medicine' is also sent to me according to what he said. The medicine was given to me so that no one would know about it

Sent the guy away, I took the baggage to the study, opened it and saw that the real 'medicine' materials were all wrapped in packets, and there was a note that said: Take it on time, twice a day, and three days will be fine

I looked at the 'medicine' bag with the markings, two packs a day, I called Chen Lao Er over, told him the method used, let him now fry the 'medicine', Chen Lao Er took the 'medicine' bag out, I opened the mechanism again, went to the secret room, the secret room lit the lantern, Liu Jiahe leaned crookedly on the box, Zhang Guifei also sitting, only the housekeeper was waiting by the side of the cheap father, filling him with water, watching me come in, a few people stood up

"How is it better, sir?" I asked the butler with the bowl

"It's still the same old young master, when will the 'medicine' come?"

"The 'medicine' has already come, Second Brother Chen is frying the 'medicine' on it, it's ready, it's served, you can rest first, it's hard for you."

I said to Liu Jiahe again: "Brother Liu, are you feeling better?" Liu Jiahe had to pass through the hall every few days in Dongchang, so when we saw him, his body was not only smelly, but also scarred

"I don't have anything to do again, I'm used to it, and as soon as they don't dare to hit hard, I'll play dead, so my body is all skin trauma, it's no big deal, thank you brother for your concern," Liu Jiahe patted his chest and said

"That's good, Brother Liu, if you need anything, tell me, I'll go and deal with your injuries, do you want to give you some healing trauma 'medicine' or something?"

Liu Jiahe smiled and said: "I don't have to be dirty, I can't get through it, there is no problem, don't worry."

"What do you need, Lady Guifei," I said to Concubine Zhang again

"Lord Lan, I just want a separate toilet and washbasin, I haven't washed my face for several days," Zhang Guifei replied shyly, and she was also used to being served in the palace, and it was really inconvenient to suddenly come to this place and live with a few big men

"Okay, I'm not thinking about it, I'll take it down for you in a moment."

"Thank you, Lord Lan" Zhang Guifei also didn't have the frame of the concubine Niangniang, and gave me a blessing, which is unimaginable in the palace, a concubine Niangniang saluted the officials below, although she was a lady who was beaten into the cold palace, but she was not deprived of the title of Niangniang

I saw that they had nothing to do, so they went back to calligraphy, Chen Lao Er was frying 'medicine', I told him what Zhang Guifei needed, asked him to find a toilet, and gave Zhang Guifei the basin that Chen Lao Er used

It wasn't until the evening that Liu Lianjiang came back, I called Liu Lianjiang to the backyard, Liu Lianjiang said: "The young master, the matter is all done, the old man Wang said that it will be done according to your arrangement, let you go over to see him early, in order not to delay your return to the city, the old man Wang will go to the woods in advance and wait for you, and the team will set off at night, he said that if it is night, he is afraid that he will be discovered by the government."

"Okay, you go and rest, let's go out of the city together tomorrow"

After a night, my dad took the 'medicine' once, but it didn't respond, and Chen Lao Er asked me: "Young master, why didn't this 'medicine' work, could it be that I took it wrong?"

"You're just anxious, you have to eat three days and six herbs, and you just ate one of them, and you think that Dongchang's poisonous 'medicine' is so dish, I guess you can eat all of them."

Chen Lao Er scratched his head and said, "I thought it would be good to pay for it, then I will continue to fry the 'medicine'"

After lunch, I told Lao Liu that the preparation of horses stayed at home for a long time, and went out to hunt for a long time, of course Lao Liu knew, I didn't know what to do when I went out, this was just a rhetoric, the three tigers also wanted to be with me, I found an excuse to leave them at home, for the three of them, I still can't let them know too much, I am kind to Lao Liu's father and son, they are people with one heart with me, the kind that can do anything, not the three tigers, they can compare

With the Liu family's father and son, carrying the hunting bow and arrow, and carrying the grain merchant information sent by Chen Jiu, the three of us went out of the city and walked towards the woods

When we arrived in the woods, Mr. Wang had not yet come, and the woods were quiet, although the leaves were already yellow, but they had not fallen, and occasionally a few small birds were startled by us, since we came out in the name of hunting, let's shoot a few rabbits or something, and there is no other prey to hunt here, close to the capital

There is no farmland here, there are wild grasses everywhere, there are still a lot of hares, Liu Lianjiang rode a horse in front of the hares, I and Lao Liu in the back of the bow 'shooting' arrows, after a while we 'shot' three hares, look at the old man Wang has not come, I and Lao Liu's interest in hunting has also come up, just shoot a few more, we started hunting hares on the edge of the woods, there is a hare, I didn't even 'shoot' two arrows, but ran fast in front of me, watching the three of us chasing the hare away from the woods, the hare also seems to catch us' Like a mist hiding in front of us, Lao Liu 'shot' an arrow and didn't 'shoot' an arrow

"Young master, I must 'shoot' this rabbit today," Lao Liu shouted on horseback beside me

I said, "Okay, let's see which of us 'shoots' it first."

The hare ran in the direction of the bandit's nest we had last exterminated, and the three of us were in hot pursuit, and suddenly lost track of the hare, and we turned around several times in the place where the hare had disappeared, but found no trace of it

Lao Liu said to me: "Forget it, young master, the people we are waiting for should also arrive, go back, for the sake of a rabbit, we can't delay the business."

I just said, "Okay, let's go back."

Then the hare suddenly appeared in front of us again, and looked at us teasingly

"Young master, why did you say that this rabbit is so cunning, is it playing tricks on us?"

"Forget about a rabbit, let's go back," I said to Lao Liu

"Young master, no, I must catch him," Lao Liu also came up, stubborn, I looked at the sky, it was still early, the old man they didn't necessarily arrive, so they acquiesced to Lao Liu's words

We ran after the rabbit for two more miles, and there was no rabbit in front of us, but we found a thatched hut, which was very low, and we might not have found it if we hadn't come inside, blocked by a man's tall weeds

Now that we found a room in the wilderness, we also lost interest in the whereabouts of the rabbit, and I said to Lao Liu: "Brother Liu, go and see who lives here."

"Young master, I have looked at the thatch here for a long time, there is no trace of being stepped on, is it an empty house," Lao Liu said as he dismounted

"If you look inside, it doesn't matter if there's anyone in there or not, I just think it's weird to find a room here."

Liu Lianjiang and I also got off the horse and followed Lao Liu to the thatched house, the thatched house outside the thatched house is the kind of adobe is very strong, very rough, and there are a lot of wild grass on the thatch, the "door" of the house is closed, Lao Liu stepped forward and pushed which "door" opened in response, the "door" of the house is also very low, Lao Liu lowered his head before entering the house

"Young master, come in and take a look, there's a corpse here," Lao Liu's voice came from the house

I then went into the house, which smelled of musty, a clay kang, a broken table, and a Taishi chair, and the chair and table were all covered with a thick layer of dust, and the room was covered with cobwebs, and it seemed that no one had come for a long time, and I don't know who had built such a room here

Lao Liu stood on the side of the kang and said, "Young master, look at what's going on."

At this time, my eyes also adapted to the light in the room, only to see a 'bed' quilt on the earthen kang, as if covered with a person, I walked closer to see that it was indeed covered with a person, and the quilt was also thick dust, but the strange thing was that the person did not decompose, like the general corpse will change its flavor in a few days, if you put it like this, it will not take a year to have a skeleton, but this corpse is an elderly man, beard, eyebrows, and hair are white, although the face is a little dry yellow, it is also "covered" with a layer of dust, and there is no difference from ordinary people

"Young master, it looks like he's been dead for a long time, why hasn't he rotted?"

"This person should have taken some 'medicine' or cultivated the Tao, if he can't become an immortal in the end, he will keep the corpse from rotting, and it feels a little strange that such a room and such a corpse appear in this barren mountain and wilderness, and the cultivator should go to the high mountains and mountains, how can he be here?"

"Yes, young master, what are we going to do, leave or bury him," Lao Liu looked at me and asked
