Red Dust Inn Chapter 67 The two are one
"Who are you kid?" Hearing this, Blackbeard twisted his thick neck, looked Zhao Zheng up and down a few times, and raised his eyebrows.
When Lin Jiyuan and Lin Zhong'er saw that it was Zhao Zheng coming, they both showed joy, as if the person who fell into the water had grabbed a life-saving straw.
Zhao Zheng strolled forward, with a sinister look on his face, and replied lightly: "If you don't change your name or change your surname, the nosy Zhao Zheng is!" ”
"Zhao Zheng? Haven't heard of it. Blackbeard said.
"But you've heard it now, and now that you've heard it, you should keep the name in mind." Zhao Zhengdao.
"Yo, the tone is not small." Blackbeard didn't laugh angrily, but laughed, "You just said you wanted to buy me these herbs?" ”
"That's right! I'll pay you a tael of silver to buy you these bergamots. Zhao Zheng reached into his sleeve, grabbed a piece of broken silver with two fingers, and shook it in front of Blackbeard's eyes. Just now, the blackbeard said that this basket of herbs was worth a hundred taels of silver, but he only bought it with one tael of silver, which was undoubtedly provoking the other party.
"Damn, you're entertaining me?" Blackbeard's eyes widened, but it was quite scary.
"I'm not entertaining you, I'm serious about the deal." Zhao Zheng strolled to the table, raised his hand and pressed the small basket containing the herbs, pulled it in front of him, and stared at Blackbeard.
"Bunny, you put the medicine down for me!" When Blackbeard saw that Zhao Zheng dared to touch his herbs, he immediately became furious and turned his face and drank violently.
"Take it yourself if you want it." Zhao Zheng picked up the medicine basket in his left hand, took a step back, and hung his right hand on one side, ready to go. He wants to provoke Blackbeard, force the other person to do it first, and then restrain the other person. He was confident enough to defeat this Blackbeard, because this Blackbeard was not a powerful martial artist at first glance, how could a powerful martial artist threaten an old man for a hundred taels? This kind of thing can't even be done by people in the evil way, and what people in the real evil way do are all big bad things, and they are all for the sake of great interests.
"Bunny, you're looking for a fight!" Blackbeard really couldn't help but provoke, and pounced on Zhao Zheng angrily, grabbed Zhao Zheng's shoulders with a pair of big hands, and used the kung fu of "Tiger Claw Fist".
Zhao Zheng saw Blackbeard's movements clearly, his right hand burst out, and the latter came first, like a poisonous snake, he accurately buckled Blackbeard's right wrist, and then took a step to the right, and with a flip of his right wrist, he twisted Blackbeard's left wrist. He didn't finish restraining Blackbeard's left wrist, and he raised his leg and kicked Blackbeard's left leg, which was not very forceful, but enough to force Blackbeard to kneel on one knee.
Blackbeard didn't see how Zhao Zheng made a move, but he felt that his wrist was twisted backwards, causing a sharp pain, and then his left leg was also attacked, causing him to kneel on the ground. He was shocked that the martial arts of this handsome young man were completely higher than he had imagined. He tried to struggle to get up, but as soon as he lifted himself up a little, the pain in his left wrist increased considerably, forcing him to maintain this awkward kneeling position.
Zhao Zheng used the strength in his hand, trying to make Blackbeard suffer the most pain, but not breaking Blackbeard's wrist. He restrained Blackbeard with only one hand, and the other hand was completely idle, and his body was long and erect, and he seemed calm and relaxed. Through the confrontation of this move, he judged that the other party was also a martial artist of the First Heaven, and he had brute strength, and he was very poor in all aspects such as moves, speed, and adaptability, and he was really not a good opponent.
"Ahh Pain, pain, pain...... Bunny, let go of your hands! Blackbeard sweated in pain and made a big fuss.
"It's such a time, and you dare to be hard-mouthed." Zhao Zheng snorted and increased the strength in his hand.
Blackbeard's pain increased dramatically, and his right wrist was almost broken with the twist, but he couldn't bear the pain, and he didn't dare to touch it anymore, so he changed his mouth and begged: "Master! Sir! You can do it, don't break it again, break my wrist again, and I'll break it!" ”
"It's okay for me not to break it, but you have to promise to sell me these herbs for a tael of silver." Zhao Zheng deliberately said that he wanted to buy these herbs so that Blackbeard would only hate him alone, and not go back to the trouble of the Chūn Medical Center.
"No problem, I don't want a penny, I'll give it to you." Blackbeard's face changed in pain.
"Really?"
"Really! It's true! Absolutely, really!"
"Alright, get out." Zhao Zheng immediately let go, took a step back, and stared coldly at Blackbeard.
Blackbeard rubbed his left wrist, which still had the pain gone, scolded Zhao Zheng a thousand times in his heart, and then left here in a gloomy manner. He tasted the bitterness, knowing that Zhao Zheng's martial arts were higher than him, how could he dare to make noise again, just as he was unlucky and ran into the plague god.
The scene of Zhao Zheng's action just now was all imprinted in the eyes of the two ancestors and grandchildren, and the two of them were naturally extremely grateful in their hearts. Especially the timid Lin Zhong'er, he turned Zhao Zheng into a god soldier who rescued the suffering.
Lin Zhong'er is a girl who doesn't go out of the door, she doesn't know how big the outside world is, and she doesn't know how powerful those martial arts masters are, in her eyes, Zhao Zheng is a martial arts master, and he is an unfathomable master. Zhao Zheng actually restrained such a sturdy man as soon as he made a move, and he only used one hand! Her eyes widened, and her eyes were filled with Zhao Zheng's heroic figure.
Lin Jiyuan suppressed the fright just now, arched his hand at Zhao Zhengyi, and said with a smile: "Thank you Zhao Gongzi today, if you hadn't made a righteous move, I'm afraid the old man would have been beaten." ”
"Doctor Lin, where are you, I learned alchemy from you, and I am also half of your apprentice, how can you ignore this kind of thing." Zhao Zheng put the medicine basket on the table casually and returned the salute with a smile.
"Childe is going to be ashamed of me when he says this, we are just a transaction, how can it be considered a master-apprentice relationship."
"Even if it's not a master and apprentice, we still know each other, and I can't help you for this." Zhao Zheng said, moved his gaze, and smiled at Lin Zhong'er who was hiding behind. Lin Zhong'er was somehow much shyer today, and her white and tender face turned red all of a sudden.
"Childe, you have helped me a lot today, in order to repay your great kindness, in the future, you will study with me, and the tuition fee will be reduced by half, and you can only pay five taels each time." Lin Ji came from afar. Although the reduction of five taels of silver is not much, for Lin Jiyuan, an old money fan, it is already a painful love.
"Hehe, that's good." Zhao Zheng nodded, and immediately remembered about the task, and asked casually, "By the way, just now you mentioned to that Hun person that you want to refine the Chūn Dan, what's going on?" ”
"There are not many elixirs that the Old Decay Society refines, among which the Hui Chūn Pill is the most precious, every year I spend some time refining some, and then sell them to the martial artists, this income is more than what I usually treat people. Among the prescriptions of Hui Chūn Dan, the most precious herb is bergamot, and every year I have to spend a lot of money and effort to collect this herb. Due to the high requirements of the growing environment of bergamot, in the vicinity of Qibao County, only Qingfeng Forest can produce this medicinal material. However, due to the presence of wolves in the Qingfeng Forest, ordinary medicine collectors did not dare to enter at all, and only martial artists dared to go in to collect medicine. Every year, I hire a martial artist to go to Qingfeng Forest to pick bergamot, but I didn't expect to hire such a humble person back this year, but it's really unlucky. Lin Jiyuan said and shook his head.
"I see." Zhao Zheng only remembered that this task was to collect medicines, but as for the specific herbs to pick, he really didn't know.
"Alas, there is a dart master who knows me very well, and has already ordered five Hui Chūn Dan from me, but I don't have a single bergamot in my hand now, so I asked me to take something for him to refine Hui Chūn Dan, and if I can't pay back to Chūn Dan after the deadline, I will have to pay him double the deposit." As soon as Lin Jiyuan mentioned losing money, his face immediately became difficult to look at.
Zhao Zheng fell silent when he heard this, there were wolves infested in the Qingfeng Forest, it was very dangerous, he had planned to take Li Zhenzhen with him in the future, but now that Li Zhenzhen was not around, would he go or not?
If it was just for a few pills of the Chūn Pill, he didn't need to take such a big risk, but there was another task that Qingfeng Forest could do, and the rewards brought by that task were very generous, and it was exactly what Zhao Zheng needed at the moment. The rewards brought by one task are not very attractive to Zhao Zheng, but if the two tasks are added together, the attraction is much larger.
Another quest for the Qingfeng Forest is to help the "lonely blacksmith" Mu Yihe find the lost jade pendant, and when he finds it, he can make Mu Yihe craft a blade for free. Zhao Zheng has a meteorite in his hand that he got from Ma An, which is a good material for making blades, and it is now stored in the system warehouse.
Because the blade he wanted to build was very special, ordinary blacksmiths couldn't make it, and only a blacksmith like Mu Yihe could make it. If you spend money to ask Mu Yihe to build a blade, a blade costs 1,000 taels of silver, and the price is extremely high, even if Zhao Zheng has money, he can't afford it, and it would be great if he could build it for free.
These two tasks, one is to find medicinal herbs and the other is to find jade pendants, both are search tasks, and they are in the same place, so it is really suitable to complete them together.
Zhao Zheng hesitated again and again, but in the end he couldn't resist the temptation of the task reward, and made up his mind to take a risk, the big deal was to only go to Qingfeng Forest during the day, and carry torches on his body, so that even if he encountered a wild wolf, he could use torches to drive them away.
Since even the blackbeard who could only do three-legged cat kung fu just now dared to go to Qingfeng Forest to find herbs, why didn't he dare?
After making up his mind, Zhao Zheng proposed: "Doctor Lin, it's better to do this, let me go to the Qingfeng Forest for you and help you pick some bergamot back, what do you think?" ”
"Childe said with a smile, how can a noble person like you do such a dangerous thing, it's really impossible." Lin Jiyuan waved his hand.
Although Zhao Zheng has been in contact with Lin Jiyuan many times, he has never revealed his actual identity, Lin Jiyuan is a smart person, and of course he didn't ask much. Because he was always wearing expensive clothes, Lin Jiyuan had always mistakenly thought that he was a young master from a big family.
"Why not, you also saw it just now, my martial arts are still okay." Zhao Zheng said confidently.
"That's right, with Gongzi's martial arts, presumably ordinary wild wolves can't hurt you at all."
Zhao Zheng didn't speak, with his current ability to deal with wild wolves, he could only rely on fire to drive them away, but he couldn't win with strength, because the small grappling hand he learned was specially used to deal with people, and it was not suitable for dealing with wild beasts at all. He actually took a lot of risks when he went this time.
Lin Jiyuan saw that Zhao Zheng's eyes were burning, and he seemed to have made up his mind, plus he really needed someone to help collect the medicine now, so he didn't shirk anymore, but nodded and said: "If Gongzi is willing to deign to take risks, the old man will not treat Gongzi badly, if Gongzi can bring back more than five bergamot plants, I am willing to give you two hundred taels of silver." ”
"No, I don't want money, I want to go back to Chūn Dan. If I can bring back five bergamot plants, I hope you can give me three back chūn pills. Zhao Zheng didn't take that money seriously, but he needed to return to Chūn Dan to keep it in case of emergency. This time, Chūn Dan is an elixir for the treatment of internal injuries, and if you have an internal injury, as long as it is not particularly serious, you can take one pill to see the effect.
"Childe, this is just embarrassing and decaying, this grain is worth three hundred taels of silver, and you will ask for three grains when you open your mouth, which adds up to nine hundred taels of silver. And you have heard that the guy I just hired was only a hundred taels of silver. Lin Jiyuan's face was embarrassed, but in fact, what he said was the selling price, and the cost price of Hui Chūn Dan was not so high, except for the herb bergamot, other medicinal materials were not very expensive.
"The salary of the man just now is indeed very low, but did he bring you bergamot back?" Zhao Zheng asked with a smile.
"Well, not only did he not bring bergamot back, but he almost hit me." Lin Jiyuan nodded awkwardly, "Okay." Childe, you have superb martial arts, and your salary should be higher than that Hun man. That's good, after the deed is done, I'll give you two back chūn pills, which is enough. ”
"No, if I want three, I will have three, and if I have one less, I won't go to the Qingfeng Forest." Zhao Zheng has always been cautious, this time it is already an exceptional risk, how can it be done if he doesn't give back much.
"Childe, you can't be too greedy!" Lin Jiyuan was a little anxious, the value of the chūn pill was extremely high that time, and every pill he gave out would make his heart bleed.
Zhao Zheng and Lin Jiyuan bargained back and forth, and neither side gave in, just at this juncture, Lin Zhong'er next to him couldn't see it, stepped forward gently, and shouted in a low voice: "Grandpa, please listen to your granddaughter." ”
"Zhong'er, what are you going to say?" Lin Jiyuan was stunned for a moment, and turned his head to look at this precious granddaughter.
"Zhao Gongzi has helped us a lot today, so you can agree to his request. Since he wants three Hui Chūn Dan, then give him three Hui Chūn Dan. Lin Zhong'er whispered.
"This ...... Zhong'er, it's not that grandpa is stingy, it's just that this time Chūn Dan is really valuable. ”
"Grandpa, I know that this elixir is very precious, so even if I beg you, you can agree to Zhao Gongzi's request." Lin Zhong'er pleaded coquettishly.
Lin Jiyuan regarded his granddaughter as the pearl of his palm, and when he heard Lin Zhong'er speak, he immediately lost his temper and compromised: "Okay." Since you spoke for Zhao Gongzi, I made an exception and agreed to this money-losing deal. He looked at Zhao Zheng and stretched out three thin fingers, "Zhao Gongzi, as long as you can bring back at least five bergamot plants, I will give you three Hui Chūn Dan, if you bring back more, I will give you one more Hui Chūn Dan for each additional plant, this is already a loss-making business for me." ”
"Okay, that's it." Zhao Zheng readily agreed, and then nodded to Lin Zhong'er, "Thank you, Miss Zhong'er, for interceding for me." ”
"Childe is polite." Lin Zhong'er lowered her head and stopped talking, and under her drooping eyes, there was a beautiful gaze like water waves flashing.
……
PS: The elixir mentioned in the previous chapter is the Xiao Huan Dan, and since the Xiao Huan Dan is a pill for restoring qi and not for treating wounds, it has been corrected to Hui Chūn Dan in this chapter. I hope you will forgive me for a momentary mistake. The previous chapter has also been changed, but due to the delay, it can't be corrected for the time being, and it still shows Xiao Huandan.
