Chapter Eighty-Nine: Lies to Confuse the Public
Zhang sighed lightly and said softly: "The girls who were taken away by the god of grains with your little aunt are all good-looking little girls. ”
She didn't say the rest of the words, but Xu Lan knew what she meant.
A good-looking little girl, don't take the two paths that there are only two ways to go, either to be sold into the place where people are waiting, or to be treated as a child bride or a servant who has signed a death contract.
For a while, both of them felt a little heavy.
On the second day, Chen got up early in the morning.
She took the ointment Xu Lan gave her and began to peddle it in the village.
"My granddaughter used a lot of medicine to make it, and it only costs ten copper plates, which is as cheap as giving it away for free." Chen pulled a few people who often went up the mountain to chop wood, "You guys are injured, just rub a little bit." ”
Those people refused without thinking about it.
Seeing that he couldn't sell it, Chen's face changed, and he scolded directly: "If you don't buy such a good ointment, you deserve to be injured, and you can't afford to lose your life with ten copper plates." ”
"Save it, who doesn't know that your Lan girl doesn't need money to see a doctor, just pay for some herbal medicines." Some people can't see it, "Everyone is like you in the eye of money." ”
"Phew, my family is a loser!" Chen spat on the ground, "If you don't want money, what's the difference between throwing money into the water!" ”
The more she thought about it, the more angry she became, and she walked forward scolding.
didn't go far, but Chen saw Xu Zhaodi, the new daughter-in-law who had been married not long ago in the village, squatting on the side of the road picking weeds with a sad face.
Chen's heart moved, and he leaned over and asked, "Daughter-in-law of the Xu family, what are you doing here?" ”
Brother Xu raised the weeds in his hand and said with a sad face: "Oh, my distant cousin was injured, I'll find some herbs to put on him." ”
Chen's eyes lit up when he heard this, and he immediately sold the wound medicine in his hand.
Hearing that Xu Lan did it, Brother Xu Zhao bargained for a long time, and finally bought it for five copper plates.
Chen followed to see the excitement, and saw a young man lying on the bed and screaming.
"Yuanbao, don't call it, just apply this medicine and you'll be fine." Brother Xu Zhao hurriedly applied medicine to her cousin.
Chen's eyes were sharp, and he saw that her cousin named Yuanbao had a lot of small black moles on his body, and while talking, Yuanbao seemed to be very itchy, scratching a few times from time to time.
"Who is this?" Yuan Bao saw that Chen was looking at him non-stop, so he said, "I am from the village next door, and I just returned from studying art abroad, but I didn't expect to encounter a disaster in the city, so I was injured. ”
Xu Zhaodi casually introduced the Chen family to Yuanbao.
"Her little granddaughter Lan Yatou, she is a powerful person, she knows herbal medicine at a young age, knows how to heal, and has cured many people." Xu Zhaodi said, "She often goes to the city to set up stalls to sell medicines, and I say that the grandmother of the Chen family is a blessing." ”
Chen listened proudly, as if Xu Lan was so good because she taught well.
Hearing this, Yuanbao's eyes flashed slightly, and he asked Xu Lan in detail about her appearance.
When he heard Xu Lan's appearance clearly, Yuanbao's face suddenly changed.
"It turns out that your granddaughter is the White Tiger Demon Star!"
"What?" Chen was stunned, not understanding what Yuan Bao was talking about.
Yuan Bao looked at Chen with a serious face, and said in a deep voice: "I have been learning Taoism with the god of grains since I was a child, you should have heard of the god of grains, right?" ”
As soon as Chen heard the name "Ceres", his body trembled, and he nodded again and again like pounding garlic.
If it weren't for the god of grains, I'm afraid their family would have starved to death.
Chen's mind was naturally impressed by Ceres.
"Yesterday, I was blessing the people in the county town, but I bumped into the White Tiger Demon Star!" Yuan Bao said sharply, "That demon star is so powerful, he actually bewitched the people and instigated the people to hit me!" I could have easily escaped by casting a spell, but I didn't do it so as not to hurt the innocent. ”
"I took care of my body here, and then I went to find my master to catch the demon star, but I didn't expect her to hide in this village."
It turned out that this ingots turned out to be the great immortal who deceived people yesterday.
After being caught by the officials, he spent a lot of money to get out, hiding in his distant cousin's house to recover from his injuries before going to cheat.
I didn't expect to bump into the family of the dead girl yesterday!
Yuan Bao snorted coldly in his heart.
It's not too late for a gentleman to take revenge for ten years! He was going to trick the old woman into a twist and turn around, so that the dead girl would taste the pain before she could be relieved.
Seeing that Yuan Bao said seriously, Chen was a little scared in his heart.
"So, what do you say?"
"The White Tiger Demon Star is a monster's evil qi entering the human body, as long as you remove the evil qi on your granddaughter's body." Yuan Bao put on a high-ranking appearance.
"How can the evil spirit be lifted?" Chen said anxiously, "Will it hurt my grandson?" ”
"If the evil spirit is not removed, there are no chickens and dogs left in the vicinity! Not to mention your grandson, even the rats in the village will be killed by her! Yuan Bao pinched his fingers and pretended to calculate, "If I do it, I need ten taels of silver to help her dissolve her evil spirit!" ”
Since that girl can sell herbs and treat people, how can I say that the family can afford ten taels of silver.
"No money!" Who knew that Chen said categorically, "If you don't want money, you just kidnap the demon girl and take it far away, I don't have this person in my family." ”
Listening to Chen's words, Yuan Bao was a little surprised at first, then he rolled his eyes, clapped his hands and said, "Okay, then I will take her and ask my master to recite the scriptures for her for 100 days to dissolve the demonic energy on her body." ”
"But I have injuries on my body, I can't act rashly, and you have to tie up that demon girl."
Yuan Bao took out a small paper bag from his bosom and handed it to Chen.
"Put this thing in her water, and after the demon girl drank it and fell asleep, she immediately tied her up."
Chen took the paper bag and put it in his arms and hurried home.
After she left, Brother Xu Zhao asked, "Yuanbao, is Xu Lan really a demon girl?" ”
"I don't know if she's a witch." Yuan Bao stretched out his hand and pinched Xu Zhaodi's face, and an indecent smile appeared on his face, "But the money from selling her is enough for the two of us to leave here, but we will do a small business elsewhere." ”
"Dead ghosts!" Xu Zhaodi slapped him lightly, but saw that Yuan Bao grabbed her body again, she couldn't help but say worriedly, "You've been itching for a long time, why don't you find a doctor to take a look." ”
"Look, it's bitten by bugs." Yuan Bao scratched his calf a few more times absently, "It's good when the weather is cold." ”
Over there, Chen ran back home, didn't even bother to take a sip of water, and she pulled Xu Dahai into her house.
"Mother, what's wrong with you?"
"What's wrong? Our family is dying! Chen closed the door and whispered, "I have seen the disciple of the god of grains today!" ”
Xu Dahai was taken aback, and hurriedly asked, "Why did the disciples of the god of grains come to our village?" Could it be that there will be another famine? ”
