Chapter 7 The Defective Jade Box
Fang Zheng shouted loudly, and Fang Qing had to make a grimace at Cheng Xu. The former gently arched his hand and said: "Little brother, this little girl in the family has a very strong temper since she was a child, and she has offended a lot. ”
Cheng Xu swayed one leg underneath, sitting there with a wandering back, a branch like tissue paper, but his body was as light as a feather, and he didn't tremble.
Seeing that Cheng Xu didn't say much, Fang Zheng lowered his head and looked at the thing he took in his hand - it was simple and beautiful, and there were some spots on it, although Fang Fangzheng had some flaws, it was obviously a jade box.
Fang Qing on the side glanced at it and pouted disdainfully and muttered, "It's just a broken jade box, how good the contents can be." ”
Fang Zheng didn't have anything to say to his daughter, just looked at the jade box, and then looked at the young man on the tree, his eyebrows softened slightly, and he smiled: "Little brother, this jade box is worth a lot of money to you, right?" ”
Cheng Xu glanced down at him slightly, his demeanor was still cold and cold, and said: "What I gave you is the medicine inside, not this jade box, the medicine needs to be held in jade utensils, and you have to return this jade box after the medicine is finished." ”
Fang Qing, the girl, rolled her eyes again, and she also had all kinds of disdain for the jade box full of flaws. I wondered how much this flawed jade box could be worth?
But how did she know that it was for this jade box, but Cheng Xu had spent a lot of effort, and even spent a lot of money.
Medicine is man-made, and although the pill is also man-made, it is born through the aura of heaven and earth. How can anything that is born of heaven and earth be mortal? How can anything be contained in ordinary vessels?
Fang Zheng was very gentle, nodded seriously and then raised his head and said, "Okay, I will pay you back another day, can I take a look at the medicine here?" ”
Cheng Xu didn't bow his head anymore, he casually tore off a short branch, there were still a few green leaves on it, and said lightly while playing: "You can't open it now, if you open it, it will only take a few minutes for the medicine to be gone, and the effect of the medicine will be halved when the medicine is gone, and your old man can only open it when he takes it." It's nothing to say about taking it, just chew it and swallow it. ”
Fang Zheng listened to the faint words, but he seemed a little silent. Fang Qing beside him raised his head and said dissatisfiedly: "Hey, aren't you a charlatan?" What kind of medicine, I see you have athlete's foot! ”
"Qing'er!" Fang Zheng snorted sternly again. Fang Qing was still quite dissatisfied and said, "Dad, you just believe him like that?" What if there's something dangerous in there? It must also be in front of... It can only be opened in front of the patient, what if there is some hidden weapon mechanism! ”
Although Cheng Xu, who was sitting on it, didn't think much about it, this girl's paranoia of being killed was really a bit serious, but it was not unreasonable to think about it according to common sense.
And Fang Zheng seemed to be a little hesitant, but his attitude was much stronger than his daughter, and he looked up and smiled gently: "Little brother, it's not that I can't believe it, but I really have to open the box to check it, you must know that there are really a lot of "bad things" I have encountered since this while." ”
Cheng Xu looked down at the eyes in the direction, the eyes of the two sides collided together, but they were very flat, in this man's eyes, Cheng Xu still only saw the gentle side, and the aura on his body was all converged, and he couldn't detect anything suspicious.
Cheng Xu thought for a moment, tore off a small branch again with his backhand and jumped down.
Falling to the ground gently like that feather, the shirt didn't even mess up a bit, and said quietly to Fang Zheng: "Okay, how do you check?" ”
Fang Zheng smiled, and took out a stack of disc-shaped things from the waist bag he carried, like a cloth bag, but after opening the cloth bag, a number of thin steel needles appeared, the steel needles were transparent and shiny, and the front end of each steel needle was black and brown, but he didn't know what this steel needle said.
Fang Zheng smiled and said, "Just use this steel needle to test it." ”
Cheng Xu nodded, took the jade box from his hand and said, "Move fast." ”
Fang Zheng nodded again, Cheng Xu was not suspicious, his fingers were placed on the front of the box, and the small square box with both hands was suddenly split from the middle, and the way to open the box was a little strange.
However, when the jade box was completely unfolded, the father and daughter in front of them were slightly stunned - an indescribable fragrance greeted them! The aroma covered every cell of their bodies like a stream of water in an instant, and the cool feeling made their bodies tremble, and the strange beauty of the unusually comfortable surprise the father and daughter.
And Cheng Xu's words reminded the square: "Move fast." ”
Fang Zheng's father and daughter suddenly came back to their senses, and all the feelings just now disappeared, but the rich aroma still filled the air.
They subconsciously looked into the jade box, and there was a small pill lying quietly in the jade box, the pill was really small, only the size of a soybean! The whole body is bright white, and the rich aroma is exactly what emanates from the pill.
Not excessive hesitation and shock, he didn't know if what Cheng Xu said was true or not, if it was true, then it would be a little troublesome if the effect of the medicine was gone, he had some doubts about Cheng Xu's ability in his heart, but after smelling the thorough medicinal fragrance, this layer of doubt disappeared completely.
The hand rose and fell, and a steel needle quickly and fluently clicked on the small pill, and after that little bit was collected, Cheng Xu quickly closed the jade box again.
The smell of medicine suddenly became a lot lighter, Fang Zheng looked at a steel needle in his hand seriously, he observed the black and brown part of the front end of the steel needle, and observed it very seriously and carefully, and Fang Qing next to him also looked at it seriously.
After a full moment, Fang Zheng immediately took a deep breath, then quickly put away the steel needle, his face was full of smiles, and he nodded and said, "Well, there is no problem." ”
Cheng Xu did not hesitate to stuff the jade box back to him. And Fang Qing on the side seemed to be suddenly interested, although his attitude was still a little arrogant, he was already a lot better, and asked, "Hey, what is this medicine made of?" Why is it so fragrant? ”
Not only Fang Qing, but even Fang Zheng felt a little curious.
Cheng Xu glanced at them lightly and said, "Ordinary medicinal materials, ordinary medicines, but the methods are different. ”
Fang Qing seemed to be a little incomprehensible, and muttered something in a low voice, while Fang Zheng took the jade box seriously, and smiled at Cheng Xu: "Let's not talk about whether this medicine is useful or not, this medicine alone is amazing, little brother, if this medicine really works afterwards, someone on our side must thank you again!" ”
Cheng Xu glanced at him lightly and said casually: "Whatever you want." ”
As soon as the words fell, Cheng Xu turned his head and left, and his cold voice came from him as he walked: "By the way, there are many ways to detect poisons, and your steel needle method is not very accurate, be careful not to be deceived." At last...... Don't forget to return the jade box to me. ”
