2. Graffiti (II)
A girl in Miao costume who is not amazing is painting by the Tuojiang River, and she is not bad; Gradually, people gathered around, watching and talking.
Ye Er came to her senses, smiled shyly, dropped her paintbrush and ran away. The little liar took the brush and scribbled it, smearing the landscape frame outlined by Ye Er into a mess.
The first day in Phoenix passed so uneventfully. In the evening, Jingchi Xuemei and Huahua didn't agree to stay back in the hotel, so everyone had to move to the Chen Family Inn together, and a group of people of old and young men and women made Grandma Chen happy.
After dinner, Grandma Chen closed the door and played mahjong, Grandma Chen and Uncle Chen were opposite, Aunt Butterfly and Nomura Hanhai were opposite, and the four of them had a lot of fun.
Zhu Tong began to make tea again, Jingchi Xuemei and Ye'er stayed by his side quietly, and Huahua lost patience after watching for a while, and ran to watch Aunt Die play cards. Ichi Yukimi has a deep study of tea, and left to communicate with Zhu Tong about tea ceremony skills.
Cultivating the floral tea ceremony requires concentration on oneness, slowing down and absorbing the fragrance of tea, and digesting the internal breath; Zhu Tong had nothing to do, so he said to Jing Chi Xuemei after adapting some introductory mental methods and Zhu Men words. It's also a kind of compensation. Liu Yilan said that the heart method of the flower tea ceremony cannot be passed on, and the simple exercises of self-cultivation should not be counted.
Ye Er also walked in, watched and watched, and joined in, discussing her learning experience with Ichi Yukimi.
At half past eight, there was a knock on the door outside. Uncle Chen opened a crack to let the young man in, and he was the tenant who lived upstairs.
Huang Hai looked at him very attentively, he was also a young man, dressed simply and casually, with a modest demeanor as if he didn't care much about anything, and went upstairs with a pot of water.
This person Zhu Tong knows, is the disciple of the bamboo Taoist Fan Xing.
I haven't seen it for more than half a year, and the previous agility and flying on Fan Xing's body have reached the realm of convergence, and only a few traces of essence light occasionally leak out of his eyes, indicating that he has not completely absorbed and refined the essence left by the Bamboo Daoist now.
Since Fan Xing is here, it means that the Second Rank Dao Sect will stand on the side of Zhumen. Zhu Tong was a little envious of Fan Xing, and he was free to do anything.
It was only two minutes after Fan Xing went upstairs that a short message came from Zhu Tong's mobile phone, it was the second senior brother. He told Zhu Tong that Suo Wenda, the head of Zhu Sect, had arrived in Phoenix City an hour earlier, and now the Temple of the Heavenly King; Elder Zhumen and Zhu Tong's two senior brothers, as well as more than a dozen quasi-Zhumen disciples, accompanied him.
The second senior brother also told Zhu Tong that the eldest sister of the orchid, Liu Yilan, issued an orchid order, and eighteen orchid fairies would arrive in Phoenix City within two days; The eight-pin orchid will advance and retreat with Zhumen. Liu Yilan also persuaded Yu Xuan Zhenren to withdraw from the Leopard Hunting Alliance at the same time as the Liupin Meiye, and the three elders of the Dao Sect, Elder Shui, Elder Mu, and Elder Tu, would lead the fourteen Dao Sect disciples to come as soon as possible.
Zhu Tong's pressure was relieved by this unexpected surprise, and there will be more than fifty of his own people inside and outside Phoenix. He no longer feels lonely, even if the monks of the Golden Buddha and the car bandits of the Fourth Rank are chasing after him, he doesn't have to be afraid. He even suspected that the people of the Golden Buddha would not dare to come at all, and no high-ranking monk would dare to challenge the Living Buddha of Soonda head-on.
The little liar is in a good mood, and his brain is extraordinarily bright, carefully outlining the means of counterattack. Since Tian Gongzi pinned his hopes on cooperation with the Jingchi Foundation, it would be good to make a fuss about it. For the people gathered around Tian Gongzi, money and benefits are the real things. If they don't see hope, Bacheng will turn into a pack of mad dogs, mad dogs that bite each other.
Hey! Didn't Wang Xiangjiao know his own details, right? Maybe he wants to use himself as a little liar to deal with Tian Gongzi. No, it's okay to be used, the price can be explained clearly, don't be so busy that you end up with a bamboo basket for water; This is called the villain first and then the gentleman.
It's just, who is behind the back? Zhu Tong only revealed the news of his arrival in Phoenix City to the old liar, in order to ask the Living Buddha of Soonda to support him. The little liar knows very well the master's ability, and he doesn't have so much face and ability to let the second-grade Taoist sect, the eighth-grade orchid, and the sixth-grade plum garden openly support the scene for the blessing door.
On the second floor, Huang Hai inspected the accommodation arranged for Yukimi and Hana in Iike, a room that did not face the river, with windows facing the stone street. The early winter in Xiangxi was already cold and damp, and the two wooden windows were closed to death, but Huanghai still nailed the windows with nails.
Zhu Tong walked in and said that he wanted to go to the Chinese medicine shop on the street to prepare some emergency medicines, Huang Hai replied cheerfully, and only told him to go early and return early.
The misty drizzle fell on the stone street, accumulating a puddle of water, reflecting the red lanterns of the inns on both sides, which has a unique charm; There are few pedestrians on the inn street, but the shop street is still bright and crowded. Because of the rain, most of the diners in the night market on Hongqiao moved here, and the best business was in those restaurants; The guy greeted him inside and out, and the boss was busy and beaming. Because of the sparse number of tourists, the business of the bar is the coldest, and the locals cannot afford to consume the contents inside.
Zhu Tong walked into the Chinese medicine shop, and the boss was checking the pulse of two regular customers. Here, the boss is also a doctor, and many of the grasslands in the medicine cabinet are harvested by them themselves; It is said that there are also Miao doctors sitting in the hall during the day.
The patient grabbed the medicine and left, the boss stepped forward to greet him attentively, and Zhu Tong smiled and said, "Mr. Trouble, I want three crossbow medicines." β
The boss was thin and capable, and he was in the prime of life, so he was stunned for a moment and asked, "What do you want?" β
"Triangular needle, crossbow medicine." Zhu Tong repeated softly.
The boss took out a leather bag and didn't speak. Zhu Tong took it away, took out two odd-shaped steel needles and played with them.
Triangular needles are shorter than acupuncture needles, about as thick as sesame seeds, and have a three-edged groove on the head. The triangular needle used to be a hidden weapon, but now it is a unique acupuncture device of Miao medicine, which has a good therapeutic effect on rheumatism and paralysis with improved crossbow medicine.
The golden needle around the little crook has been lost in the alleys of Shanghai, and it has to be replenished here.
"I don't need that." This kind of triangular needle belongs to the big road goods, although the feel is suitable, but the needle has not been treated.
"No, we're serious about business and haven't heard of anything like that. Hurry up, I'm going to close the door and rest. β
Zhu Tong drew a half-talisman in the air: "Sir, I won't use it to harm people." β
The boss showed surprise in his eyes, looked Zhu Tong up and down, left and right, and shook his head: "I don't know what you want." β
"How can there be no good needles in opening a pharmacy here? Boss, I'm not kidding; Three points of crossbow medicine, one Jia, several three-edged fire needles, two parts of incense. There is an emergency. I wish the three ghosts and one dog talisman painting of the child to be successful, the boss finally believed it, got up and closed the door leaf, and said carefully: "Sir, please wait." He turned and walked into the inner room.
A few minutes later, he came out with three horn boxes and two small porcelain bottles, and took out a wooden box from under the counter: "It's all here, I only have intoxication medicine here, please use it with caution." β
"Thank you, sir." Zhu Tong took out a stack of banknotes and handed it over; "Give me another piece of wisteria juice." The boss put away the banknotes without counting, took out a small bamboo tube, bandaged it neatly and handed it to Zhu Tong.
This is the real three-edged needle, the faint blue light flashes on the needle, look closely, the needle body is arranged with a layer of fine scales, three rounded blood troughs, each with three tiny holes; It is a medicine hole that hides the crossbow medicine.
Crossbow medicine is a secret medicine unique to the Miao family, which is mostly used to apply crossbow arrows for hunting, and sometimes it is also used on the equipment of vendetta fighting between tribes. Generally, it is boiled into paste with drugs such as poison horn lotus, andrographis, Chuanwu, Caowu, Nanxing, Artemisia, Banxia, bee venom juice, etc., which are stored in the horn box, and can be applied to sharp parts when used.
The crossbow medicine given to Zhu Tong by the boss is not a medical crossbow, but it is not the poison that used to be; This crossbow medicine is applied to a three-edged needle and pierces a person's body, making his limbs as weak as if he were drunk. A portion of wisteria juice that Zhu Tong asked for was poison, which could be mixed into the crossbow medicine; A person who is injured by this crossbow medicine will not be able to get out of bed for a month or two, regardless of whether he receives treatment or not.
This kind of business has a certain risk, and the boss thinks that Zhu Tong is a much more clever witch doctor than him, so he doesn't dare not sell it to him; The three ghosts and one dog talisman drawn by Zhu Tong is really imposing.
The incense medicine is very common, it is a light secret balm, mostly used to repel insects and ward off evil spirits; Zhu Tong wants to use another of its characteristics: tracking. People who are dyed with perfume will emit a special smell that cannot be washed off or covered.
After doing all this, Zhu Tong strolled up to Hongqiao and dialed Wang Xiangjiao's mobile phone with the phone in the public phone booth on the street corner.
"Mr. Wang, we are now in Phoenix. Flowers and Aunt Butterfly are here, Miss Xuemei is willing to cooperate for the time being, do you have any instructions? Zhu Tong weighed his words and tactfully reminded Wang Xiangjiao that he had done what he had promised; How to proceed next, everyone should unify their thoughts and their respective views, that is, talk about conditions.
Wang Xiangjiao was very happy and did not shirk his responsibility at all: "Mr. Li, first of all, I want to thank you for everything you have done; I can't promise you anything, but you should know one thing, my duties are limited, and I am only concerned with cases in the financial field that are detrimental to the interests of the country. Secondly, I think you're a good doctor, a good man; The history of the past only represents your past. What you are doing now is related to the loss of huge amounts of state-owned assets and the safety and dignity of the country's financial assets. If we can succeed...... No, we must be the victors in the end. You will all be heroes and be respected and admired by the majority. Mr. Xiang is in Tongren Hospital, he admires you very much and is willing to do a lot for you. Ye'er is a good girl, I know that you have paid a lot for this relationship, and I hope you can be safe and happy. β
"Thank you, Chief; I don't want to be a hero. I just want the chief to promise one thing. Zhu Tong's heart welled up, and he was about to jump up with joy.
Wang Xiangjiao said that he is only in charge of things in the financial field, and the subtext is that he is willing to vouch for Li Xiang and will not cross the line to take care of things outside of finance. He has already started to do that, Xiang Lao is wiping his ass for a little liar in Beijing Tongren Hospital. Zhu Tong was a little embarrassed, he just said that the flower and Aunt Butterfly were threatening; But Wang Xiangjiao didn't care, he did a better and more thoughtful job than Zhu Tong thought.
"What's the matter? Within the framework of the law, as long as I can do it. β
"She loves the Yellow Sea very much, but after a long time in that ***, she is bound to get some minor problems. When the condition is mild, it is easy to treat, but if the disease is terminal, I am afraid that no medicine will be used. β
Wang Xiangjiao was silent, and Zhu Tong didn't dare to say much; A minute later, there was a soft hang-up sound from the microphone.
Zhu Tong sighed gloomily, Wang Xiangjiao couldn't completely break free after all, can he really believe all his words? It seems that there is no other choice now.
Walking across the Hongqiao, Zhu Tong carefully observed that there were no special people around, and then turned into the Tianwang Temple.
The Living Buddha and the elder brother were meditating in the main hall, and there were more than a dozen men in robes, none of whom they knew each other.
