Chapter Thirty-Six: The Man Who Makes People Uncomfortable
Wu Yan looked at the smiling woman in front of her for a while, and couldn't help but say, "Madam, I think you are so powerful." ”
If she left her family alone and married in a foreign land, she would definitely not be as strong as her wife.
Moreover, Madame suffered a catastrophe not long ago.
In fact, ordinary people don't know so much about that incident, they only know that Wei Hou suddenly sent troops in the middle of the night and captured Laiyang, and Situ Qunyi, who governed Laiyang, didn't say a word, obviously either acquiescing or having some reason in it.
Because Situ Qunyi has a weak heart, he naturally won't let people spread the truth about this matter, and it doesn't make sense for him to do so.
And Shen Yuchen won't tell others everywhere.
It was only because Wu Yan knew Chen Ge that she realized that something was likely to happen to her after she suddenly stopped coming to Pujitang.
In ancient times, when the flow of information was not smooth, many things were actually only in the hands of a few people in the world.
Chen Ge just smiled and didn't say anything.
People are all forced out, and if they are not forced to a certain level, you don't know how far you can go.
Tonight is the first time Chen Ge has visited the ancient market.
Jizhou is such a border city, the permanent population is not much, no matter how stable and happy on weekdays, it always seems a little deserted, but today's holiday, all families have basically come out to play and enjoy the moon, plus from other places rushed to visit relatives, from the subordinate counties and villages specially come to join in the fun, obviously more than twice as lively as usual.
The government also had the foresight to extend the curfew, and the vendors took advantage of the opportunity to do their best to attract customers, and the brightly lit streets were full of everything.
Wu Yan introduced Chen Ge to various special foods and small items along the way, and couldn't help but be a little surprised when she saw her look of amazement and curiosity.
Madame usually looks calm and calm, as if nothing can bother her, but at this time, she is like a child who is curious about everything, which is rare.
However, Madame is good at everything, but she always lacks some fulfillment in marriage.
When A-Niang heard that she was going to go to the night market with her wife tonight, she was very surprised and said that Mrs. shouldn't she celebrate the festival with the prince today? She didn't want to gossip about Madame behind her back, so she pretended to be confused, but in fact, the news that Madame was not favored by the prince had long been circulated among the people, and she had been with Madame for so many days, so she naturally knew that the rumor was probably true.
Otherwise, how could the lady always be alone, and never see anyone else around except her nurse and personal maid.
She really couldn't figure out why the prince didn't like the lady if she was so good.
Hmph, if she were a man, if she could marry a lady like Madame, she would definitely wake up laughing in her dreams!
Could it be that it is really like some rumors say, the prince's side...... Not quite good?
Wu Yan has studied medicine with her father and brother since she was a child, and naturally she doesn't understand anything like other boudoir women.
Although there are also rumors that the prince is a good man, she feels that with the status of the prince and the marquis, why should she be depressed if she is really a good man, and there is no powerful man in this world to adopt a male pet, so she is more inclined to have a problem with the prince.
Chen Ge glanced at her casually, and saw Wu Yan's eyes full of pity and resentment, and couldn't help but be slightly stunned.
What's wrong with this girl? Isn't there something dirty on her face?
That's when —
"Everyone, come and take a look! It is rumored that the Hercules Pill personally prepared by the divine doctor Bian Que is rare in the world! Even if I went north and south, I only got this vial! After eating this pill, even if you are as thin as a chick, you can also suddenly increase your physical strength, and you are not afraid of bloodshed or pain! ”
Not far away, a thin man was holding a small bottle, shouting passionately.
Next to him, there was a huge cage with a skinny and mentally exhausted white dog lying in the cage.
The dog had a hemp rope around its neck, and the tail end of the hemp rope was tied to the cage.
There is a flag on the cage with the words "Hercules Pill" written on it.
Chen Ge looked at this scene, his brows furrowed slightly, and he suddenly quickened his pace and walked over.
Wu Yan was stunned for a moment, and hurriedly swept the pile of cranky thoughts to the back of his head, and hurriedly chased after him, "Madam, what's wrong?" ”
As the man shouted, there was already a circle of people around him, most of them men.
In such an era of speaking by force, they can enhance their physical strength, and they are not afraid of bleeding and pain, which is simply a miracle medicine to help them get promoted and raise their salaries to the pinnacle of life!
The man saw that the people gathered around him were almost there, and he suddenly raised a slippery smile, and said hehe: "I know that I am just saying it alone, you must believe it, it doesn't matter, I, Qin Laoqi, have never said dark words to the Ming people, I will show you the miraculous effect of this pill today, and when the time comes, it will be a mule or a horse, and I will leave it to the guest officers to judge for themselves!" ”
As he spoke, he pulled the cork on the medicine bottle, poured out half a pill the size of a thumb nail from it, and showed it to the audience very skillfully, saying: "This pill is very powerful, for a beast like a dog, half a pill is enough!" ”
After saying that, he squatted down, ground the pill, poured it into a bowl of water, and put the bowl of water into the cage.
The dog didn't know how many days he hadn't eaten or drunk, but when he saw the bowl of water, he immediately stood up, walked over and drank it quickly, and drank the whole bowl of water in a few breaths.
Everyone couldn't help but look at the dog with bated breath, as if they were afraid that they would miss some key picture in the blink of an eye.
Wu Yan began to be surprised when she saw the dog gobbling up water, and then couldn't help but be angry: "This vendor is too much!" ”
That's called drinking water, it's clearly swallowing water!
Although a dog is not a human being, it is also a life, and she was born as a healer, so she naturally cannot bear to be trampled on by someone like this.
She couldn't help but take a step forward, wanting to step forward and reason with him.
But he didn't expect that before he could take two steps, he was stopped by a hand, but it was Chen Ge.
Wu Yan couldn't help but frown and looked at Chen Ge in confusion.
Chen Ge secretly sighed and said, "It's too late." ”
If they wanted to save it, they should have saved it long before the man fed the dog the medicine, and now they missed the best time and could only wait and see what happened.
Wu Yan was stunned, but she also understood Chen Ge's thoughts, so she could only hold back first.
But when the dog had finished drinking the water, he slowly walked back to his original position and continued to lie down.
When everyone saw it, they were a little dumbfounded.
"Hey, what's going on? This is what you call the Hercules pill with miraculous effects? ”
"I see where the Hercules pill is, it's clearly ordinary flour dried!"
"Grandma is a ball, I believe it back to Lao Tzu, cut, boring!"
Seeing that the crowd began to become restless, the man immediately smiled and said, "Don't worry, everyone, even this medicine was given by the Queen Mother of Heaven, and you should give it a little time to exert its effect, right?" Don't worry, it won't be very long, so be patient and wait a little longer......"
As he spoke, a man in the crowd suddenly exclaimed, "The dog is moving!" ”
Everyone's eyes immediately returned to the dog, but they saw that it really stood up tremblingly, and kept shaking its head, as if it was very restless, and faintly, it could still be heard to let out a low roar.
The onlookers' eyes widened in amazement.
Oh my God, the dog looked so hungry that he couldn't stand up a moment ago, and in the blink of an eye, it seemed to be infused with strength.
Could it be that this pill is really a Hercules pill with miraculous effects?!
The dog was still shaking its head, and began to move forward step by step, the roar made louder and clearer, the hemp rope that was wrapped around his neck had been stretched straight, and if you looked closely, you could see that the railing of the cage tied to the hemp rope was trembling slightly, as if it was going to be broken in the next moment!
However, the dog didn't seem to feel the pain of the hemp rope around his neck, and still roared desperately and walked forward.
If this continues, the dog will surely die!
Chen Ge couldn't stand it anymore, and was about to step forward, but the man seemed to know that he was only afraid of causing disgust to bystanders if he continued, so he suddenly stepped forward and untied the hemp rope on the cage, and the dog was no longer restrained, and immediately rushed to the front of the cage, and began to hit the cage desperately!
Seeing the horrified expressions of the onlookers, the man laughed and said, "Don't worry, my cage is very strong!" You believe me now, right? The effect of such a pill will probably last all day! Hehe, I only have this vial in my hand, if you want it, you have to hold on......"
Before the words fell, a man's voice suddenly sounded in the crowd.
"How do you sell this pill?"
This voice is mellow and good-sounding, but there is a hint of light in the voice, which makes people feel a little uncomfortable.
Chen Ge couldn't help but turn his head to look in the direction where the voice came from, and was slightly stunned.
I saw that the person who spoke was a very handsome young man, with fair skin, a high nose and deep eyes, and the corners of his mouth were slightly raised, but it made him even more red and white.
The most eye-catching thing is that his eyes are as clear as a lake.
At this glance, you know that he must not be a pure-blooded Han person, but Jizhou is located on the border of Great Chu, and there are many cases of intermarriage between Han people and Hu people, and this kind of appearance of Hu people is not uncommon, so no one will feel different.
It's just that the smile on his lips, with a little interest, a little carelessness, and a little condescending scrutiny, is just as uncomfortable as his voice.
