Chapter 17: Not enough meat
Outside the shop, there were three thin old men, one more stumbling than the other, dressed in tatters, like a farmer's uncle, holding a pig-killing knife in his hand.
The three of them were menacing, with hideous faces, standing outside the Chinese medicine shop, and a slightly shorter old man on the left shouted: "Who is Zhong Wenbin?" ”
In the store, Zhong Wenbin and Hu Ye looked at each other, obviously not good.
Hu Ye walked out with a smile: "Third master, do you want to buy something?" ”
The short old man pushed Hu Ye hard: "Call that Zhong Wenbin out." ”
Zhong Wenbin frowned slightly, stepped forward to support Hu Ye, and then said coldly: "I am, what are you doing?" ”
The short old man looked Zhong Wenbin up and down, showing disdain, and pointed at the pig-killing knife: "I thought it was a powerful character, but it turned out to be a hairy boy." ”
Zhong Wenbin didn't pay attention to the three ugly-looking old men, and he didn't bother to speak, so he led Hu Ye to the store, and then took care of his own work, the three of them looked a little ugly, and took a step towards the store.
Seeing this, Zhong Wenbin took a knife from the counter and pointed it at the three of them, but Hu Ye hurriedly stopped him.
"Trespassing, you are quite bold." Zhong Wenbin was a little angry.
"Hey, we have never failed in doing things in Niushan, I heard that you have a piece of dragon meat and dragon bone in your hand, hand it over." The short old man held out his hand.
It seems that it is really as Zhong Wenbin expected, the three of them came for dragon meat, but how could he hand it over easily, he couldn't help but sneer.
"Three old guys, don't herd cattle well, mix what, get out!" Zhong Wenbin issued an expulsion order.
"Look for death!" The three old men had ugly faces, and they were about to rush in, in broad daylight, they were quite bold, Zhong Wenbin and Hu Ye hurriedly wanted to resist with the guys.
At this moment, Hong Sheng led the security team to rush over and angrily blocked in front of the Chinese medicine shop.
"Do you want to die?" Hong Sheng pointed a gun at the three of them, this so-called Niu Shan Niu Dashuai group was completely foolish, and when he saw the situation, he immediately smiled flatteringly: "We're having fun, let's go!" ”
After speaking, the three of them fled in a gloomy manner, and Hong Sheng turned around and said helplessly: "Now that the three sects and the nine streams are here, there are all kinds of goods." ”
Zhong Wenbin can also understand that these three people are just coveting the hundred oceans, but in the next whole day, there are a lot of absurd things.
There are Qinglou women who come to beg, fishermen, and watchmen......
In short, there are a lot of them, Zhong Wenbin was made his head big, he was still very vigilant, and at the last glance, he discussed with Hu Ye, ran to the nearby vegetable market and bought a piece of beef, and then tossed it slightly, and simply threw it at the door of the store, so that those who came to hear the wind would divide themselves.
Of course, these are ordinary people, and Zhong Wenbin didn't care.
The Mashan Order, which covers 10 provinces and 18 townships, is the most deterrent wanted warrant in addition to the official.
Zhong Wenbin understood that Nanming must be hiding in a corner of Hongmen Town, ready to make a move at any time, this guy is very scheming, as long as he has the opportunity, he will do it.
The whole day passed like this, and in the evening, Zhong Wenbin and Hu Ye were preparing to make some food for dinner in the store, but as soon as it closed, there was a knock on the door outside.
After being tossed and choked during the day, Zhong Wenbin was also tired of it, and was about to go out to teach a lesson, Hu Ye smiled: "Let me come!" ”
After speaking, he walked over to open the door, but at this moment, Hu Ye suddenly called for help, Zhong Wenbin looked back and found that Hu Ye was covered by someone and dragged out, and immediately became angry, picked up the wooden stick by the door and rushed out.
Outside the street, there was a carriage, Hu Ye was stuffed on, and a woman wearing a face towel shouted at him: "Bring the dragon bone and dragon meat to the west of the Sancha River." ”
After speaking, he slapped the horse's buttocks with the whip in his hand, the carriage fled quickly, and Hu Ye shouted: "Wen Bin! ”
Zhong Wenbin hurriedly chased after him, but the carriage was very fast, and he lost his eyes as soon as he slipped through the smoke, which made him anxious, and he thought that it was too late to find Hong Sheng, so he hurriedly ran back to get the sack.
The Sancha River in the west is not far from the town, and it is more than a mile away from the town, Zhong Wenbin pulled his legs and chased him out frantically, Hu Ye is a good person, if something happens, he will not be able to go in his heart.
When I got to the edge of the Sancha River, there was a boat parked there at this time, which was quite luxurious, and Zhong Wenbin couldn't name it, there were two floors, and the lanterns were lit on it, and several people were watching.
On the shore, the carriage stopped, and Hu Ye was grabbed by a woman, looking helpless.
Zhong Wenbin rushed up and was extremely angry: "Let go of Hu Ye, what's the matter with you catching the old man with a girl?" ”
The woman squeaked, "I'm not a hero, what's the big deal." ”
Zhong Wenbin was speechless for a moment, Hu Ye didn't seem to be in danger of life, but his face was a little dirty, the people on the boat seemed to be thugs, his eyes were staring, it seemed that there should be a guy.
"The thing is here, let Hu Ye go." Zhong Wenbin said.
"Open!" The woman was not at ease, and in desperation, Zhong Wenbin had no choice but to open the sack, revealing the keel and a piece of meat on it.
The woman's expression lit up, and under the face towel, Zhong Wenbin couldn't see what she looked like, and then the woman beckoned, but there was no way, Zhong Wenbin had no choice but to throw the sack over.
Hu Ye shook his head and sighed, but there was no way, in order to save people, Zhong Wenbin could only do it, but fortunately, the woman did not kill her, and after taking the sack, she hurriedly got on the boat.
Zhong Wenbin hurriedly stepped forward and pulled Hu Ye down from the carriage: "Are you okay?" ”
Hu Ye nodded: "It shouldn't be, I gave it to him, what should you do?" ”
Zhong Wenbin understands Hu Ye's thoughts, now he only has one month to live, as long as he understands this keel, it is possible to survive, and there is no hope for him now.
"Forget it, your old life matters." Zhong Wenbin's face didn't matter.
On the boat, after the woman took the sack, she took off the face towel, and a pretty face appeared in front of Zhong Wenbin's eyes, under the lantern, the face was very beautiful.
"Thanks, he'll definitely pay you someday." The woman laughed.
"Don't you want my life, it's worth a hundred oceans!" Zhong Wenbin said coldly.
"I'm not rare for a hundred oceans." The woman smiled, and the wooden boat slowly left.
Zhong Wenbin stared at the wooden boat, his heart was heavy, this woman was not simple, and she was very powerful, so she could only watch the wooden boat disappear into the night.
After a long time, Zhong Wenbin and Hu Ye got into the carriage, although they lost the keel, they were able to get back a carriage anyway, and there was no loss.
When he arrived at the pharmacy, Hu Ye was very helpless: "Wen Bin, I'm sorry, it's the old man who has caused you trouble." ”
Zhong Wenbin immediately waved his hand: "Master Hu, it's already a great gift for you to take me in, how can you say this." ”
Although Zhong Wenbin used to be a refugee and didn't learn anything, he still had a picture of gratitude, and Hu Ye didn't say anything, and after a while, Hong Sheng rushed over, and after hearing about it, he was also quite helpless.
At present, the keel is lost, Ma Shanling is still the same, but Zhong Wenbin is still not out of danger.
But you can't sit still, Zhong Wenbin thought about it, most of the people who coveted the Ma Shan Order wanted a hundred oceans were some mountain thieves and horse thieves, as well as a small number of hunters among the people, and on the other side, they coveted dragon bones and dragon meat, so they were divided into two sides.
At this time, it was getting late, Hu Ye asked Hong Sheng to go back first, and then simply got some food, after the two of them were full, Hu Ye seemed to have made up his mind: "Wen Bin, my Hongyitang has a history of more than three hundred years, in addition to the usual Chinese medicine shop, do you know what else to operate?" ”
Zhong Wenbin shook his head suspiciously: "I really don't know about this. ”
Hu Ye smiled: "I see that you have a good temperament, and you are a lot more stunned than those in our family, so I will tell you a secret." ”
After speaking, Hu Ye got up and came to the edge of the medicine cabinet, there was a small secret room there, which was a place to make medicine on weekdays, and there was a strong smell of medicine. Zhong Wenbin didn't understand what the secret was, and he was very confused.
Hu Ye walked to a table on the edge of the secret room, there was an incense burner, made of bronze, it should be an old antique, Hu Ye inserted three incense sticks on the incense burner, and then knelt down three times.
I saw the incense burner click, and wisps of green smoke were inhaled into the cracks in the wall, and at the same time, the wall suddenly dented a part, revealing a passageway.
Zhong Wenbin looked at this scene in surprise, thinking to himself if Hu Ye still had a small treasury.
"Come in!" Hu Ye smiled.
Zhong Wenbin followed behind Hu Ye curiously, then got into the passage and went down a few steps, until he saw the scene in front of him clearly, and was dumbfounded.
