Chapter 186: Back from the Dead
When the brothers and sisters met, after a brief reminiscence, Xia Qiu went straight to the point, "Ah Yu should have told you about the puppet corpse, right?" ”
Wu Ze's expression was solemn and worried. He can't imagine the monster in Ah Yu's mouth, but if his two younger sisters think so, he is willing to pay any price to save his family's life to make up for the regrets of his previous life, and hope that his family can survive safely.
"There is still a shortage of food and medicinal materials, I want my eldest brother to help me open up another procurement channel, and I will find a place to store it, but this matter must be kept secret by everyone except you and me."
Wu Ze was well aware of the seriousness of the matter, "Don't worry, I know what to do." ”
Xia Qiu didn't have much cash in his hand, so he planned to pick a few valuable items from the box of things Xu Mingliang sent and let Wu Ze exchange money elsewhere. This was stolen from Wu Tongxing, and it was easy to attract right and wrong when she shot in Lin County, and she didn't want to provoke a commotion.
The brother and sister briefly reminisced, and Wu Ze left quickly.
Just now, Ergou rushed in, "Sister Xia, our brothers in Heizhuo Mountain are gone." ”
Xia Qiu patted his head and said apologetically: "It's my fault for this, too many things have happened in the past few days, and I haven't had time to say hello to you." You don't have to worry about the Black Burning Mountain in the future, I have already given it to Lord Lu.
The Heishui mine belonged to the imperial court, and it was illegal to dig privately. There are many people with mixed mouths, and Lord Lu has offended many people when he is in power, so I am afraid that it will affect them, so I gave them a sum of money to settle down in other places. Don't worry, when they settle down, we'll go to see them together, and then the homeless children can come too. ”
"I see." Ergou was happy for them, but he couldn't help but feel lost in his heart, "They are all my best brothers, and I don't know when we will see each other again?" ”
Xia Qiu felt the same way and patted Ergou's head, "If it's fast, it's two or three months, and if it's slow, it's half a year." ”
She took out fifty taels and handed it to Ergou, and said earnestly: "Recently, Lin County has not been peaceful, you take a lot of money to rent a yard, stock up on some grain, oil, rice and noodles, don't let the children in the City God Temple go out to beg again, it's not safe." ”
Ergou's beggar gang disappeared six children before and after, and he couldn't help but get nervous when he heard Xia Qiu's words, "Sister Xia, are the traffickers appearing again?" ”
"It's just a suspicion, but I've been out for a few days, and the disappearance of children still happens from time to time, especially the fatherless and motherless beggars, who are more likely to be targeted. Your people are very smart and smart, and if you take them to do some small business, life will get better and better. ”
The hand that took the money was stunned, and Ergou looked at Xia Qiu in amazement, "Sister Xia, you want to drive me away?" ”
"What are you thinking, you kid?" Xia Qiu rubbed his head and said with a smile: "You did a good job in the rice shop, I am willing to let you go." However, in addition to working in the rice shop, you should also put more attention to your younger siblings and let them learn how to make a living. ”
"Thank you, Sister Xia, I know." Ergou put the money away, and then cheered up and said: "Sister, Wu Lao San'an has been divided for a few days, and it is best to seem to be gambling with fox friends and dog friends again." ”
Xia Qiu told him, "You help me keep an eye on him, and tell me as soon as I find him getting together with someone from an unknown source." ”
After the second dog left, Xia Qiu couldn't help but ponder.
Atai is a kind person, and he didn't say anything, but paper can't contain the fire. Since the change of the shopkeeper in the rice shop, Ergou has slowly changed, and he obeys Atai's words on the surface, but in fact, he has made small moves behind his back.
Maybe she valued Ergou too much before, and she gave a lot of money every time she did things, which also caused Ergou's self-confidence to swell. It is not a good thing to suffer from gains and losses at a young age.
Hopefully, she's thinking too much.
"The one on the roof, come out." Xia Qiu rubbed his forehead and said with a headache.
The door creaked, Wei Ge walked in angrily, and said disappreciably: "Sister, how do you know it's me?" ”
Xia Qiu threw a pot sticker over and said angrily: "I want to know that it's you, I'm still wasting time going around." Did Lord Lu ask you to follow me? ”
Wei Ge pouted, rubbing his beaten sore head aggrievedly, "Brother Lu was worried that the surname Qiao would be bad for you, so he asked me to follow him secretly." ”
Xia Qiu said speechlessly: "Then you have to squeak with me in advance, so that I think who is going to be unfavorable to me." ”
"That's not fun." Wei Ge hugged his sword around his chest and said stubbornly: "If she really follows you, but you mistakenly think it's me, wouldn't it be more dangerous?" ”
"If you don't see the end of the dragon, it's more dangerous to me." Xia Qiu was too lazy to argue with him, and besides, Mao Dan was her only hope now, but she couldn't have a good one, and it was good to have Wei Ge to protect her.
With Wei Ge secretly protecting himself, Xia Qiu had no scruples and went to the secret room of Shengji Pharmacy again.
Coincidentally, Old Man Tu had no clue about developing a puppet corpse antidote, and he also came to the secret room to go around.
The old man's face was like pot ash, and his blood pressure rubbed up.
Xia Qiu said with concern: "What's wrong with the master?" ”
Old man Tu shook towards the iron cage regretfully, "The hairy egg is no good." ”
"How is it possible, he is fine this morning." Xia Qiu was surprised, and when she approached the iron cage, she saw Mao Dan lying on the ground and dying.
Afraid that he would kill himself too much, she was quite cautious when she tried to control the moon, and did not hurt the fatal part of the hairy egg.
"Although the hairy egg is stronger than the previous monster, it is still a failure in the final analysis, so naturally it won't live long, I'm afraid it's time to come."
"Master, is there any other way?" If the hairy egg is gone, not only will she not be able to test the truth of the moon, but the old man's research will also be put on hold.
Old man Tu hung his head in frustration, "It's so easy, puppet corpses have long been flooded, why can't they be refined for a few years." ”
It's not that the puppet corpse can't be refined, it's that those people have been using the wrong method. Although she didn't know what she did with the final sacrifice, Qiao Fengwei was the key to success or failure.
If Qiao Feng is micro-friendly, then can she too?
Xia Qiu took out the dagger, quickly cut it on his hand, and put his hand into the iron cage, letting the blood fall with a click.
Her terrifying behavior frightened Old Man Tu to the point that his face turned pale, and he scolded: "Dead girl, are you crazy? "Once a puppet corpse sucks human blood, it will be several times more ferocious, and the iron cage may not be able to trap it.
Xia Qiu comforted the emotional old man Tu, "Master, there is no better way anyway, so why not try." ”
Blood kept dripping on Maodan's face, and the thick smell of blood made him a little more sober, like nectar in a long drought, greedily opening his mouth wide and licking it......
"If you really can't do it, you just go back to the mountain with the master." Old man Tu lowered his head to bandage Xia Qiu's injured hand, and kept complaining, "We are all ordinary people, we can't care about such dirty things, just save our lives." ”
Xia Qiu knew that he was hard-mouthed and soft-hearted, if he was so afraid of death, he would have returned to the mountains a long time ago.
The old man Tu kept complaining, and the shadow on the other end of the iron cage slowly stood up, his empty eyes accurately captured Xia Qiu's position, and his face full of blood kept baring his teeth at her.
When the old man heard the voice, he suddenly turned around and was shocked into a cold sweat, really...... Brought back to life?
