When it comes to the time-honored brands in Sijiu City, the unique work and real craftsmanship naturally have their own merits, but there is one benefit that every time-honored brand in Sijiu City has to buy and sell!

That's the word benevolence and righteousness!

Rong Bao Zhai, who sells pen, ink, paper and inkstone, quietly gives pen, ink, paper, inkstone, four books and five classics at the door of the backyard on the fifteenth day of the first month, just so that those poor children who are so poor that they have lost the soles of their shoes can still have the idea of reading.

Wufangzhai, who makes dim sum, and Quanjude, who sells ducks on the stove, can accommodate the men who are begging for life after closing at night, standing next to the kitchen door, giving a cup of mung bean juice in summer and a bowl of mutton bone soup in winter. Things are not expensive, but this human heart is valuable!

It's just like an old medicine number like Tong Ren Tang, most of the night through the door panel heard the little apprentice in the main gate of the fire crying and shouting for the doctor to help, but he couldn't tell what kind of illness the family had, the young man who was guarding the store immediately called the gentleman who was sitting in the hall to see a doctor, and went out with a medicine box and a coat!

It is also because of this people's heart to accumulate virtue and do good, after the doctor hurriedly rushed to the main gate of the fire in Tongrentang, a pill of Angong Niuhuang Pill first hung a breath of Old Man Hong, and then sent the young man who came back to grab the medicine and boil it and send it over to pour it into Old Man Hong, when the sky was bright, Old Man Hong finally fell asleep, and his face was much better.

Respectfully sent off the doctor who was tired all night, and Xiang Youbao and Na Jiuye sat down with a pair of red eyes, and they invariably let out a sigh of relief!

also didn't sleep all night, Nalan held a pot of hot tea and sent it to Na Jiu Ye and Xiang Youbao's side, and then said to Na Jiu Ye with some fear: "But I'm scared to death, looking at Old Man Hong like that at that time, I'm really worried that something will happen here, but how can it be good?" ”

After taking a few sips of hot tea, Na Jiuye sighed heavily: "Alas, this matter has caused the two sons of the head of the family to disappear, and the rest is still a loser!" Seeing that the family business has been ruined by the loser, and the ancestral craftsmanship is also about to be broken, who will it rest, then there will be a serious illness in a hurry! ”

poured a large bowl of hot tea in one go, and Xiang Youbao also sighed heavily: "Who said it wasn't?!" The one that Old Man Hong made last night was that people's hearts were broken, so he begged to die! I heard from the doctor of Tongrentang that Mr. Hong's illness is a heart disease that came out in a hurry, and he can't be in a hurry to get on fire in the future, let alone freeze or starve! Uncle Shi, I wonder if you should wait for Old Man Hong's body to get better, and let the Nine Monkeys follow Old Man Hong to fight? ”

Lightly glanced at Xiang Youbao, Nalan who was standing on the side whispered to Na Jiu Ye and Xiang Youbao: "One old and one young, all the thoughts in my stomach are some ideas to take advantage!" Now that Mr. Hong has also become an offering in the main gate of the fire, plus a goblin and a goblin nine monkeys serve Mr. Hong every day, I'm afraid that in three or two years, I can make an eight-tone whistle in the main gate of the fire, right?! ”

There was a lot of embarrassment after being exposed to the trick, Na Jiuye suddenly blushed, and covered his face with a tea bowl in a sneer: "This is not Old Man Hong, and there is nowhere to go, right?" Besides, it would be a pity for him to pass on the skill of making an eight-tone whistle if he was to pass it on."

put the tea bowl on the table next to him, Xiang Youbao reached out and took out the eight eight-tone whistles that Old Man Hong made last night when he took out his housekeeping skills from his coat pocket, and arranged them in a row on the table one by one: "Now Old Man Hong is slowly recuperating first, and we are not in a hurry about the things next to him." But the thing in front of me is how to make the thrush learn to call thirty-six mouths? ”

As soon as he heard this, Na Jiuye suddenly frowned: "It's really the second day." When that young master comes to the door tomorrow, what can we do to send him out? When I say there is a leopard, don't you say you have a rut? ”

Very mysteriously, he squeezed his eyes towards Na Jiuye, and Xiang Youbao reached out and pinched the two eight-tone whistles: "Zuo just rely on this eight-tone whistle to get by!" It's just uncle, but I've heard my master say that there is a kind of bird cage in Sijiu City, what is it called a splint cage? ”

Blinking his eyes, Na Jiu Ye opened his mouth inexplicably and responded: "There is really such a thing, but it is all used by those little shopkeepers who play meat tricks in Lao Guanyuan, and no one in our door has that thing!" What are you going to do? ”

didn't answer Na Jiuye's question, but Xiang Youbao smiled at Na Jiuye again: "I also heard my master say that there were seniors fighting thrushes with people in the main gate of Huo, but one was careless and made people do things on the bird cage. Although the bird was very energetic at that time, within seven days, the bird had a plague? ”

Nodding with a nervous look, Na Jiuye couldn't help but lower his voice: "Your master also told you about this?" Back then, because of this one carelessness, the birds in the main gate of the fire died in half a month, and even several people were sick! Later, a group of seniors in the main gate of Zihuo pondered it carefully, and realized that they were holding the blood of a plague chicken and spilling it on the black cloth of the birdcage."

Approaching Na Jiuye, Xiang Youbao asked Na Jiuye very seriously: "Just use the blood of the plague chicken to make the bird sick?" Can it be done? ”

Nodding subconsciously, Na Jiuye responded with some fear: "I didn't run yet!" Just three days ago, I heard that there was a chicken plague in Dingfuzhuang. There were reluctant people who ate the plague chicken, and it was only half an hour, and the whole family vomited and diarrhea, so that something big would happen! ”

Pushing the extra six eight-tone whistles in front of Na Jiuye's eyes, Xiang Youbao stood up neatly, and whispered to Na Jiuye: "Then this thing is really a coincidence!" Uncle Shi, you send the nine monkeys to the old official garden, no matter what the price is, get a splint cage first! I'm going to go to Dingfu Village! ”

didn't wait for Na Jiu Ye to say anything, but Xiang Youbao said to Nalan who was standing aside: "Senior sister, you should also hurry up and go to Tongrentang, grab a few pairs of anti-plague medicine to boil, and if the fire is on the main gate, you have to drink it!" Then tell a few uncles sitting in the door, before the thrush is taken away, let's close the door for a few days! ”

Hearing that Xiang Youbao was assigned to work by himself, Na Jiuye didn't have any of the shelves that the head of the house should have, so he nodded his head and responded: "Cheng, just do as you say!" Anyway, if you don't make meat tricks, you can't pass this level, so you should be hungry to eat arsenic, thirsty and drink salt, let's take care of the front first! ”

Seeing that Na Jiuye turned around and ran into the courtyard, Xiang Youbao whispered to Nalan who was about to go out to grab medicine: "Senior sister, you grab another pair of medicine!" Go to Tongrentang and look for those smaller pharmacies, and the wild medicine stalls will also become."

Almost to Nalan's ear, Xiang Youbao said the names of the twenty flavors of medicine in one breath, and then said to Nalan who had begun to whisper the names of the medicines: "Senior sister, you can only buy one at each pharmacy and drug stand, but you must not buy it in the same place!" ”

Biting his lip slightly, Nalan nodded obediently: "Then I have to take a leave of absence from Mr. Shui, and I won't go to Mr. Shui's house to serve him in the past few days!" You should also be careful, I heard that the chicken plague in that place in Dingfuzhuang is quite scary, don't be so-so."

showed a calm smile towards Nalan, and patted his thick chest with a leopard: "With your senior brother's body, don't say it's chicken plague, that is, if you eat two catties of rat medicine, it's just a fart."

Without dodging, he was kicked by Nalan, and Xiang Youbao took advantage of the situation to step out of the door in a few steps, and walked straight towards a mule and horse near the main gate of the fire, spent money to hire a mule, and went straight to Dingfuzhuang.

In this place, Dingfuzhuang has some evil deeds in his bones. Since the time of the Manchu Qing Dynasty, many eunuchs in the palace have been in the palace, all of whom have gone to the boundary around Dingfuzhuang and sewn up the things cut off when they entered the palace to cleanse themselves.

But inside the palace, it looks like it is brilliant and extravagant, but in its bones it is intrigue and deceit. In the meantime, sometimes I take a look at something that shouldn't be seen, and I say more than half a sentence that shouldn't be said, and a small life will be settled from now on.

There is even more unlucky and sad, relying on the favor of the master who is serving in the palace, and when he is playing chess, he says a lot - the slave kills the horse of Lafayette, and in exchange for the words of the Empress Dowager Cixi Lafayette's reward - I will kill your family!

Like this kind of eunuch who died unjustly, surrendered, or died inexplicably, if someone can put it out and wrap it in the soil with a broken mat, it can be regarded as a poor master. It's more just a random pit and throw it in, scatter two handfuls of floating soil and dry branches to deal with the problem. In less than half a night's work, the corpse that was just thrown into the pit was the end of the wolf eating the dog.

For a long time, some people say that people can be heard crying every night in the Dingfuzhuang area. That voice sounds neither male nor female, neither yin nor yang, and it is the voice of those eunuchs in the palace!

This spread ten, ten and hundred, until the Qing Dynasty poured the stove and cut off the cigarettes, and there was a story of the appearance of the eunuch's unjust soul in Dingfuzhuang, but it was still passed on by word of mouth, and even the more it was spread, the more evil it became!

Just like this time, there is a chicken plague in the area of Dingfuzhuang, and there are many people who say that this is because those eunuchs who died lack cigarettes and blood food, and these lonely souls and wild ghosts who have no descendants will kill those chickens and ducks by themselves to enjoy them!

With this saying, in order to seek peace or cleanliness, those families who had died of plague in their homes threw the plagued chickens and ducks into an old grave. Some people who were scared in their hearts even lit some incense and candles in front of the old grave, which can be regarded as a memorial meaning.

There was no need to ask, following the stench mixed with the smell of cigarettes, Xiang Youbao found the old grave that was almost full of plagued chickens and ducks.

Covering his mouth and nose with a large clean hand towel, Xiang Youbao tied the mule to a dead tree from a distance, and then reached out and took out a small suede bag from his arms, took out a small pill that smelled of musk and realgar and threw it into his mouth.

When Huozheng's disciples were looking for suitable domesticated fighting beasts in the wild, it was common to drill mountains and mountains, and it was even more common to find places with poor mountains and bad waters. And in those inaccessible deep mountains and old forests, if you are not careful, the miasma formed after the decay of dead branches and leaves and animal corpses accumulated over hundreds of years can kill people invisibly without realizing it! In the face of such a situation, having a pill on the body that can drive away the miasma and dispel the plague has become an inevitable habit for every Huozheng disciple who walks outside.

As soon as the pill the size of half a broad bean was swallowed, Xiang Youbao suddenly felt refreshed, and the rancid smell mixed with the smell of incense and candles that was originally filling his nose suddenly dissipated a lot, and even the green-headed flies flying around the old grave pit were far away from Xiang Youbao.

casually broke a branch from the dead tree next to him, and the leopard was about to approach the old grave to rummage over the dead chickens and ducks, but a hoarse voice suddenly came from behind him: "Hey, what about you, aren't you dead?" Where the people on our Zhuangzi can't hide, you, an outsider, are rushing to the front? ”
