Chapter 522: An Unexpected Gain
Lin Tao turned back to 'Taiyin Mountain' early in the morning and returned to the place where he was separated from Li Chunxiong yesterday, wanting to find clues about Li Chunxiong.
It stands to reason that Li Chunxiong should have gone to the hotel to find himself last night, and he didn't return overnight, although Lin Tao felt that the possibility of the old man Tianji defeating Li Chunxiong was very small, but nothing was so absolute, so Lin Tao was not at ease, and hoped that he could find some clues when he returned here.
He went around the place where Li Chunxiong healed him yesterday, and found no clues, and followed the direction of Li Chunxiong's confrontation with the old man of Tianji yesterday, looking all the way, and finally found traces of the fight between the two in the location of a large number of broken trees.
"This is supposed to be the place where the two of them fought last night!"
Lin Tao looked carefully in the vicinity and did not find any traces left by Li Chunxiong, but at least it was certain that Li Chunxiong should not have died at the hands of the old man of Tianji.
'Taiyin Mountain' is too vast, and it is impossible to find anything in the Year of the Monkey and Ma Yue with the power of one person, so Lin Tao does not plan to look for it further.
If Li Chunxiong loses to the old man of Tianji, the old man of Tianji will not dare to kill Li Chunxiong for the time being, because he still needs to use Li Chunxiong to blackmail himself to hand over the 'Tianquan Shenlu', if Li Chunxiong wins, he will not have to worry about Lin Tao.
Therefore, no matter whether Li Chunxiong wins or loses, he will not worry about his life for the time being.
After figuring out this, Lin Tao did not continue to stay in Taiyin Mountain, and returned to the city.
……
At noon, Lin Tao finished lunch at the hotel, and was about to go out for a walk, and continued to go to the medicinal materials market to have a look at the medicinal materials.
Seeing that it was Zhang Jijun calling, Lin Tao didn't open his mouth after answering, Zhang Jijun said with a smile: "Mr. Lin, haven't you forgotten the agreement between us?" ”
Lin Tao smiled bitterly: "Isn't it just a dinner, I can't forget it." ”
"Which hotel are you staying in, I'll come and look for you later?"
Lin Tao looked at the time, and saw that there were still five or six hours before dinner, so he said, "Don't be so troublesome, you can tell me the location of dinner directly later, and I'll take the car over then." ”
"Don't, you're about to leave Yanjing, let me do my best to be a landlord, where do you want to go in the afternoon, I'll show you the way."
Lin Tao seemed a little hesitant, but after thinking about it, Zhang Jijun should be from Yanjing, after all, she is familiar with Yanjing, with her with her, maybe you can really find some inconspicuous but good quality medicinal materials shop, so he agreed, and said: "Then you can come with me in the afternoon, don't come to me, tell me where you are, I'll take the car to find you." ”
Zhang Jijun smiled on the other end of the phone, and then reported her location.
After hanging up Zhang Jijun's phone, Lin Tao took a taxi directly to where Zhang Jijun was.
Half an hour's drive, the taxi stopped at the mouth of an alley, Lin Tao pushed the car door and got out of the car after paying, and just went down, he saw a tall and fashionably dressed young girl standing at the mouth of the alley.
Lin Tao couldn't help but look at the girl carefully, the young girl was about 1.7 meters tall, with upright and delicate facial features, wearing a black dress and a light blue slim cotton jacket on the outside, a pair of thickened tights with skin tone on her slender legs, and a pair of black boots on her feet.
When Lin Tao looked at the girl, the girl also found Lin Tao, and immediately smiled, walked towards Lin Tao, pursed her lips and said with a smile: "Mr. Lin, let me wait, I'm about to freeze to death!" ”
"Are you Zhang Jijun?"
Lin Tao was slightly stunned and surprised.
"You don't know me in less than two days?"
Zhang Jijun rolled her eyebrows playfully.
Lin Tao smiled bitterly: "When you were in the teahouse that day, you were wearing a cheongsam and heavy makeup, which was completely different from today's style, and I really didn't recognize you for the first time just now." ”
When Zhang Jijun approached, Lin Tao took a closer look, and it was really Zhang Jijun himself.
However, today Zhang Jijun did not wear such heavy makeup, and looked much more delicate and pure than before.
Lin Tao mentioned the matter of the Yellow Flag Teahouse, Zhang Jijun smiled wryly and said, "Over there, the manager asked everyone to wear heavy makeup, and I couldn't help it." Mr. Lin, thanks to you for pulling me out of the fire pit, otherwise my life would have been ruined. ”
Lin Tao said with a smile: "Actually, you have to thank Fan Zhong for this, he handled this matter single-handedly." ”
Zhang Jijun said with a smile: "Brother Fan told me that you asked him to do this, and if it weren't for you, he wouldn't help me." So, you are my benefactor! ”
Lin Tao listened to Zhang Jiaojun's words, and said in his heart that this Fan Zhong was also sincere, and he did not take the credit on himself.
"That's right, Mr. Lin, where do you want to go, I'll show you the way."
Lin Tao's thoughts were interrupted, he came back to his senses, and said with a smile: "I want to find medicinal materials, do you know where to buy precious medicinal materials in Yanjing?" ”
"There is a Chinese herbal medicine market in Yanjing, why don't I take you there?"
"I've been to the Chinese herbal medicine market, most of them are wholesale medicinal materials, and there are no good herbs, I want to go to the kind of small shops, the kind that can have scarce medicinal materials."
Zhang Jijun frowned and said, "My father didn't like to get some herbs or anything like that before he died, and there are still some at home, and I don't know if it's good or bad, why don't I take you to see it?" ”
Lin Tao asked curiously, "Your father is a Chinese medicine doctor?" ”
Zhang Jijun shook her head and said: "My grandfather was a Chinese medicine doctor before he died, and my father was influenced by my grandfather and liked all kinds of herbs, but he didn't know how to heal." ”
Lin Tao thought that there would be no good medicinal materials when he came to Zhang Jiaojun's house, and when he was hesitating, he heard Zhang Jiaojun continue: "Go and have a look, my house is in this alley." ”
Lin Tao was stunned again, "You live in an alley?" ”
"Yes, this is my father's ancestral home."
Lin Tao was surprised: "In this area, how can the house in this alley be worth tens of millions, right?" ”
"Well, it's worth that much."
Lin Tao didn't understand, "Since your family is so rich, why do you want to go to the Yellow Flag Tea House to be a technician?" ”
Zhang Jijun sighed and said: "The house is valuable, but my father owed a lot of gambling debts before he died, he didn't leave me and my brother much money, I can't go and sell our family's only ancestral home, no matter how valuable this house is, it's just a place to live, my brother and I still have to live, so ......"
"Even if you don't have money, you can't go to work in that kind of place!"
"I don't want to go either, isn't this forced by debt collectors to be cornered, the general job salary is too low, and if you want to pay off the debt, you have to find that kind of high-income job......"
Zhang Jiaojun could understand what Lin Tao said, and didn't want to continue the topic, so Lin Tao changed the topic and said: "Since your house is inside, let's go and have a look." ”
Under the leadership of Zhang Jijun, Lin Tao entered the old alley of Yanjing.
Zhang Jijun's family lives in a courtyard house in the alley, the courtyard is not very big and old, but it is very lively, and don't underestimate these old courtyards, each of which is worth tens of millions.
After Zhang Jijun opened the door of the courtyard and led Lin Tao in, Lin Tao saw the little boy squatting and playing marbles in the small courtyard of the courtyard at a glance.
The little boy is about five or six years old, with thick eyebrows, big eyes and white skin, and he looks very cute.
"Mr. Lin, that is my brother, Zhang Xiaobei."
Zhang Xiaobei, who was squatting on the ground playing marbles, saw his sister turn back, patted the dirt on his buttocks, ran over with a smile, hugged her sister's arm, and asked, "Sister, why did you come back so soon?" Where's my cake? ”
"You kid knows how to eat, didn't you say that you will come back with a cake after dinner?"
"Then why did you come back so soon?" He glanced at Lin Tao next to him, rolled his eyes curiously, and asked, "Sister, is this big brother your boyfriend?" ”
Zhang Jijun blushed when Zhang Xiaobei asked, and said, "Go, play while playing, this is my friend." ”
Zhang Xiaobei scratched his head, "Then don't forget my cake." ”
"Got it, glutton!"
Zhang Xiaobei smiled and ran back to play with his marbles.
Zhang Jijun looked at Lin Tao and said embarrassedly: "Mr. Lin, children are not sensible, don't mind." ”
"Understood." Lin Tao smiled and asked curiously, "Does your brother usually take care of you alone?" ”
"yes, no one but me wants to take care of him!"
"You don't have any other relatives at home?"
Zhang Jijun sighed and said: "Those relatives can't wait to stay away from us, don't expect it at all, they are all selfish guys, when my family was in good condition in the past, those relatives were always visiting the door, and now the family is in the middle, they can't wait to cut off contact with our family directly, for fear that our family will stick to them." ”
After a pause, Zhang Jijun felt that this topic was a little depressing, so she changed the topic and said, "Mr. Lin, I'll take you to see my father's collection of herbs." ”
Lin Tao nodded, and under the leadership of Zhang Jijun, she went to the hall where her father lived before his death.
Pushing open the door of the hall, a smell of medicinal herbs rushed to his face, Lin Tao immediately smelled the strong smell of medicinal herbs, and couldn't help but sigh with emotion: "Oh, your father really got a lot of Chinese medicinal materials to put at home." ”
"Isn't it, he has three hobbies in his life, one is collecting medicinal herbs, and the other two are gambling and drinking, but drinking is a habit that my mother developed after running away with other men."
Lin Tao was about to speak, when the tip of his nose suddenly smelled a stream of Chinese herbs that he was familiar with and needed, so he hurriedly rushed over, rummaged through the medicinal herb shelves in the hall for a while, and finally found the 'star grass' he needed.
As the name suggests, 'Astral Grass' is a star-shaped herb, and its effect is that it can gradually rejuvenate the necrotic muscles, but it also needs to be combined with some precious herbs to play a role.
"Your dad actually has a collection of astrags!"
Lin Tao looked at Zhang Jijun with a look of surprise.
Zhang Jijun was curious: "Is this herb difficult to get?" ”
"It's so hard!" Lin Tao sighed with emotion, it can rejuvenate the necrotic muscles of people, and this herb is naturally extremely precious.
Seeing Lin Tao so surprised, Zhang Jijun was also happy, and said with a smile: "Mr. Lin, since you like it, I will give you this herb!" ”
