Chapter 10: The Ring
City.
It is a merchant's paradise.
It's the busiest time of the day.
Miao Miaomiao, who was originally stunned, immediately became energetic when she saw the scene in front of her.
"Wow! I seem to smell barbecue! β
"Milk candy! There's toffee there! β
"Oh my God, that bearded foreigner has so much strength! I can actually lift people with one hand! Miao Miaomiao looked at the people who were thrown out of the ring, and stars of worship instantly appeared in her eyes.
Si Yubai smiled disdainfully: "What is this?" Your master, I can beat ten of them without much effort! β
"Really?" Miao Miaomiao looked at him suspiciously.
"You don't believe it?"
Shake oneβs head.
If you believe it, you will have a ghost, just Si Yubai's size, one person can top him three!
"Look!" Si Yubai walked to the ring, put Miao Miaomiao down, and turned over into the ring by himself.
"I'll test you!"
Looking at the man in front of him, the bearded man smiled disdainfully, and then put on a defiant pose.
"Wow! Who is this man?! Look at the clothes, don't be which noble son is here to join in the fun, right? β
"With his small body, he can't stand a big beard's punch!"
"Hey! Brother Ren, I still advise you to come down quickly! Don't lose your life! β
The audience watched the lively crowd, and no one was optimistic about him.
Although Miao Miaomiao also thinks so, for the sake of the relationship between master and apprentice, I should give him some oil......
"Meow ......"
The referee's gong sounded.
The bearded man stomped off the ring with his right foot, and the whole ring shook.
"Hah!" The beard was firmly tied to the horse, and he should have wanted Si Yubai to make the first move.
"This is still a tank...... Miao Miaomiao is now worried on the edge of the ring, "In case Si Yubai becomes a dead fish white, how can I collect his body?" I'm just a kitten, why should I take on such pressure? β
This apprentice was still frowning, and the master on that side had already trampled the big beard under his feet.
Everyone: "What just happened?" β
"It's so fast, I don't see anything at all."
"I just blinked, and I saw the bearded man lying on the ground."
"Awesome! I don't know where the martial arts master came from? Can you ask for an autograph?! β
"Phew!"
The referee's gong sounded again.
"I announce! In this competition, this white-clothed boy wins! β
"Wow! Master, you won! The black cat ran to him excitedly, but soon realized that something was wrong, "Wait! Recruiting relatives in martial arts?! β
Si Yubai's original joy froze on his face instantly, and his neck unnaturally turned to the pennant on the edge of the ring, with four big characters sewn on it: competition to recruit relatives.
The master and apprentice glanced at each other.
"Three, two, one, run!"
β¦β¦
Shennong Baicaotang.
As soon as Miao Miaomiao arrived at the door, she smelled a very strong smell of medicine.
"It's ...... Wholesale market for medicinal herbs? β
"This is the largest pharmacy in Chang'an City." Si Yubai pushed the door in.
"You call this a pharmacy?!"
I saw that in the courtyard was a huge drying ground for medicinal herbs, countless medicinal herbs were spread all over the ground, and there were countless on the shelves.
The medicine boys were sorting medicinal materials, and when they saw Si Yubai coming in, the leader came over: "Childe is here to buy medicine?" β
"Do you have any Persian scorpion baskets here?"
"Childe, please come with me." The medicine boy immediately turned and led them to the side room.
When I walked into the house, there was a thin old man with a white beard, who seemed to be dozing off.
"This is our medicine shopkeeper." After the medicine boy finished introducing, he said to the shopkeeper, "Shopkeeper, this son is here to buy a Persian scorpion basket." β
The thin old man with a white beard opened his eyes and looked at the man: "Wait a minute. β
After that, he took out a small packet of medicine from the medicine jar behind him: "Twenty taels." β
"Twenty taels so much?" Si Yubai frowned.
"It's good to be able to buy it, the Persian scorpion basket is a special flavor medicine, and it must be sealed and preserved, so it is very troublesome to transport, the quantity is small, and the price is also high."
The medicine shopkeeper looked at the man in front of him, and saw that he was well-dressed, and his tone of voice was a little soothing.
Si Yubai took out the silver ticket and threw it on the counter: "I'll buy five packs." β
"I'm sorry." The medicine shopkeeper picked up the folding fan, "This medicine is too strong to be sold, and it is limited to one pack per person." β
"In this Chang'an City, where else can I sell this?"
"That's it." The old man put away the silver, then took out a pile of silver from the cabinet and weighed, "Looking for you seventy-five taels." β
The man took the money and left the pharmacy.
"Where do you go next?" Miao Miaomiao lay on Si Yubai's shoulder, a little drowsy.
The man took her down, tucked her into her coat, and rode out of the city.
β¦β¦
Outside the city, Cuilin Mountain.
Siyu Bailema was at the bottom of the mountain: "We won't go right away, we have to walk up." β
"Ha......" Miao Miaomiao woke up and looked at the surrounding greenery, "Where are we going?" β
"The shopkeeper of Shennong's Baicaotang said that they only sold one Persian scorpion basket per person, but the amount in Lin Luo's mouth was far more than that." The man walked like a fly, "I think the murderer must be planting it!" β
"There is a reason for this, after all, the medicine shopkeeper also said that this thing is not easy to store...... You see, I sniffed it and dozed off all the way. Miao Miaomiao jumped out of his arms, "No, I still have to stay away from you, that thing is too poisonous...... By the way, you left the horse at the bottom of the mountain, aren't you afraid that it will not be gone? β
"Do you think this is an ordinary horse? This horse is the only one in the capital, who dares to steal it? The man didn't care.
"It's just that it's not ordinary horses that some people steal......"
"There will be the sign of our company's Yufu soon, and nine out of ten people will be scared when they see this sign!"
"So powerful?!"
Si Yubai smiled proudly: "Of course!" Your master, I am the great Si Yu of the Emperor Taishang's imperial seal! β
"Speaking of this Da Siyu's official position, what is it for?" Miao Miaomiao finally said the questions that had been haunting her for several days.
"Da Siyu, you can peep into the sky! At an important moment, you Master, I can turn the fortunes of the country around! Usually, it's stargazing and looking...... Why are you looking at me like that? β
"Seeing how awesome you said, it turned out to be a Taoist priest." The black cat squinted at him.
Si Yubai lifted the skin on the back of her neck, squinted her eyes and smiled: "Little thing, your master and I are learning Taoism, but we are not Taoist priests." β
Suddenly, a horse whistle came from the bottom of the mountain.
The man's face changed, and he quickly ran down the mountain.
But at the foot of the mountain, all that remained was messy footprints on the dirt ground.
"Oh...... It's over, the horse was stolen. Miao Miaomiao was actually a little gloating, "Do we have to go back on our legs?" β
The man held back his anger: "Go up the mountain first." β
β¦β¦
After half an hour of mountain road, a cat and a person finally arrived at the top of Cuilin Mountain.
There is a courtyard at the top of the hill, and the gate is closed.
Si Yubai straightened his clothes and stepped forward to knock on the door.
The little head of the black cat came out: "The door is closed so tightly, the owner won't be at home, right?" β
"He can't go far, he must be in the ......"
Before he could finish speaking, the sound of the door opening the door came from inside the courtyard.
After a while, the door opened, and Si Yubai's posture of preparing to salute froze in one place, and his face instantly darkened: "Why are you here?!" β
Si Detective Xing let go of a position: "I've been waiting for you for a long time, come in." β
Si Yubai glanced at him and walked into the courtyard: "Mr. Ye? β
"Mr. Ye can't deserve you."
The black-robed man pushed open the door and saw a thin old man sitting on a Taishi chair.
Miao Miaomiao stretched out her head and sniffed: "It's dead." β
And dead for days.
It's just that the temperature on the mountain is low and the wind is strong, and the corpse is directly dried by the air.
