Chapter 273: Clearing the Portal?
The snow is falling, the cold wind is howling, and the birds are not chirping in the branches.
At night, Liu Xiu stood outside Linjiang City, holding up an umbrella that had not been used several times for several months to block the snowflakes, and quietly looked at this place that had been absent for many days.
The lights in the city are lit up, and the wharf on the river is still busy.
But Liu Xiu clearly felt that the entire Linjiang City seemed to be shrouded in a gloom, not the kind of gloom that came in winter, but a kind of gloom after the prosperity fell.
Did anything happen during the time I was no longer here?
Liu Xiu whispered, but he didn't plan to go into depth, everything in the world has its own laws of development, and the events that affect the entire Linjiang City and even the most likely wider places, he can't change anything, why bother himself?
I'm afraid that it will hurt a lot of people......
Staring at Linjiang City for a moment, Liu Xiu walked towards the direction of the dock, he saw that many people were dumping or discarding something towards the Nutao River, and the people who had this move were almost ordinary people, he was a little curious, and decided to ask what the situation was.
Liu Xiu is really not interested in martial artists and fighting and killing, but is quite kind to the lives of ordinary people, after all, no matter what kind of ability he has now, in his heart, Liu Xiu feels that he is still just an ordinary member of the public, since this is the case, it is natural to care about the people and things around him.
Approaching the river, under the afterglow of the sky, Liu Xiu saw that what people were discarding towards the Nutao River was a small bottle, clay, not porcelain, which was quite rough.
There are many people by the river, some people have sad faces, some people have palpitations, some people sigh for a long time, some people beat their chests and feet, and they throw away many small bottles at the angry river, a few less, and many baskets and baskets of ......
Approaching an old man with a kind face, Liu Xiu saw him throw away more than ten bottles, watched the bottles go with the river, and was reluctant to leave for a long time, and asked after a while: "Old man, what are you missing?" Why throw it away? ”
Looking at Liu Xiu, the old man subconsciously said: "Something harmful", and then he was stunned: "You don't know this son?" ”
"The younger generation has just returned from a long trip, and I don't know what happened, can the old man solve my doubts?" Liu Xiu arched his hand slightly.
"Don't you know something that almost affects the entire Jiannan Dao? How far have you run in the future?" the old man was extremely surprised, and saw that Liu Xiu was still waiting for an answer with a smile on his face, so he organized the following language and said:
"Although I don't know why you don't know why you don't know the future life, but you want to know why I'll tell you, the thing we lost is called the Great Tonic Pill, which suddenly became popular a few months ago, sweeping most of the entire Jiannan Province like an autumn wind sweeping away leaves, there is only one bottle per bottle, worth one gold, after taking it, it can greatly improve the physique, cure the disease and strengthen the body, if the number is enough, it is enough for ordinary people to have the opportunity to become a martial artist......"
Liu Xiu listened quietly without interrupting, but her brows furrowed slightly.
The so-called Great Tonic Pill was completely what he had just observed, and it was impossible for it to have the effect that the old man said, it was clearly just a mixture of sawdust and stone powder!
When the old man said that, his expression was not excitement but disgust and self-deprecation.
Then the old man continued: "The appearance of this kind of thing, all of a sudden, countless people are crazy, smashing pots and selling iron, after all, who doesn't want their juniors to become martial artists, but the big tonic pills are too rare, and if you want to buy them, you need connections, and some people see the business opportunity and start hoarding a lot of contacts to make a fortune...... In the end, you also saw that this is the case in front of you, the so-called big tonic pill has no effect at all, and it is a deceptive thing, and countless people have gone bankrupt because of it! ”
After listening to the old man's story, Liu Xiu's brows furrowed deeply, and a trace of sharp edge flashed in his eyes.
What the old man said is clearly An-Li (Chuan Xiao), and it is also a very rough An-Li, of course, this is only for Liu Xiu, but even so, there are still countless people who have been swept in.
Of course, Liu Xiu knows the terrible nature of An-Li, and it is simply something that only people with black hearts can do.
So who could be the one responsible for all this?
Liu Xiu has never doubted the IQ of the people in this world, and he doesn't doubt it at all if someone comes up with this kind of method, but the person who makes him most suspicious is Li Changan.
Because Liu Xiu gave Li Changan a science popularization of Amway when he was bored.
Now that Amway has come out, I don't know how many people have been harmed, if it was really Li Chang'an, Liu Xiu estimated that he would have to return to Linjiang City to clean up the portal!
However, he did not act impulsively, and asked the old man some questions, and learned that the incident of Amway had passed, and now it had calmed down, and dumping the big tonic pill in the angry river was a kind of venting and destruction for people.
In the end, Liu Xiu couldn't help but ask curiously: "Old man, it stands to reason that the appearance of such a thing as the Great Tonic Pill must have killed countless people, right?" How many people are desperate to go crazy, but I think everyone is just discarding and destroying but not seeing too much despair, why is this? ”
"Because the mastermind behind this incident is still a little conscientious, and did not drive people to a dead end, just half a month ago, suddenly someone announced that the big tonic pill was a scam, and the big tonic pill had no effect at all, just when countless people were desperate, some people stood up and announced that they would repurchase the big tonic pill in limited quantities, so although the big tonic pill caused countless people to go bankrupt, it was not impossible to live, and the specific operation I didn't know about it, but this incident didn't cause a large area of turmoil, I have to say that it was a miracle, But then again, although the Great Tonic Pill incident affected countless people, it was the real rich people who suffered, and it did not have much impact on ordinary people, after all, there are not many ordinary people who can afford to buy Big Tonic Pills," the old man explained with an exclamation tone.
Hearing this, Liu Xiu breathed a sigh of relief, and her frowning brows also relaxed, Amway's appearance, the incident did not develop in the worst direction he imagined.
To put it bluntly, Amway is just a financial means, the person who made this thing is 'killing pigs', the other party killed enough pigs, but did not kill them all, but leaked some oil and water to quell the incident, how complicated the process is Liu Xiu does not know, but the other party did it, and the result is not bad.
In this way, Liu Xiu can be regarded as relieved.
To be honest, in Liu Xiu's heart, Amway's evil is even more vicious than the Five Poisons Sect, if the result is not like this now, causing the collapse of the people, he will definitely take action regardless of it, find out the people behind the scenes, first force the other party to vomit out all the things they eat to calm the incident, and then slap them to death!
The good thing is that everything has passed, and the worst has not happened.
"Thank you to the old man for solving the puzzle, the incident did not develop to the worst, it is a blessing in misfortune, just hearing it shocked my hairs to stand on end, fortunately, it has passed, if such a thing happens again in the future, you must not be stupid to participate in it, once you are blinded by the interests and the bright future prepared by others, you will only let yourself fall into a place of no return" Liu Xiu persuaded with good words.
The old man smiled and shook his head: "The incident has passed, and no one will dare to do such a thing again, recently, someone wants to follow the trend to make money, but the next day the head is hung in a conspicuous place, who dares to do such a thing?" ”
"That's fine," Liu Xiu nodded thoughtfully.
Bidding farewell to the old man, Liu Xiu left slowly with an umbrella, and said in his heart Li Changan, Li Changan, you owe two words to the teacher.
Even the self-cultivation skills have been spread, who else would it be if Li Changan didn't do this kind of thing Amway? Fortunately, Li Changan actually controlled the situation, if it collapsed......
Liu Xiu may come out to clean up the mess, after all, the source is himself, and it shouldn't be a big problem to use some thunder methods, but if that's the case, no matter whether Li Changan is his apprentice or not, Liu Xiu will definitely make him regret coming to this world!
Now that the situation is quite good, Liu Xiu is not too entangled, but he knows that Li Changan is definitely the one who is worried at this time.
Liu Xiu waited for him to come and answer him personally, thinking that it shouldn't take long......
I have to say that Liu Xiudu is extremely curious, how Li Changan controlled the situation without collapsing, and Liu Xiudu has to say admiration for such a method.
But what kind of winds and waves and routines have Liu Xiu never seen or heard? He can only say that Li Chang'an's things are too rough, if Liu Xiu participated in the previous Amway incident, he doesn't know how Li Changan, who made this incident behind the scenes, was played to death.
Such a rough trick can be brought down by him safely, it's not that the people in this world are not smart, it can only be said that they haven't seen such a routine, I haven't heard what the old man said, there are already people who want to imitate it, give some time to make it new, and improve Amway's routine, it's just that people who have such ideas have been strongly suppressed.
The snow was getting heavier and heavier, and Liu Xiu's figure gradually disappeared into the wind and snow.
He was not in a hurry to go back to the mountains, but came to Aoyagi Town first.
Walking on the familiar streets, for a few months, Qingliu Town remained the same, and nothing changed, leaving a series of footprints in the snow, and finally Liu Xiu stood in front of his medical hall.
The door was closed and deserted.
Without the sad attitude of a wanderer returning home but no one greeted him, pushing open the door, Liu Xiu found that although he had been absent for a few months, the hospital was not as if there had been no one for several months.
Apparently someone cleaned it up a lot, and everything was the same as when he left.
groaning slightly, Liu Xiu estimated that Li Changan sent someone to clean it.
Before, there were more than a dozen people who cultivated self-cultivation skills around the medical hall and lurked secretly, but when Liu Xiu stood in front of the medical hall, those people left quietly.
Liu Xiu didn't care about this, entered the small building, put down the back basket, lit the oil lamp, and first made himself two side dishes and warmed a pot of wine.
After eating and drinking, he sat in front of the window, picked up a book with an oil lamp and read it slowly, and looked up from time to time at the snowflakes falling outside the window, leisurely and comfortable, as in the past.
Late at night, Liu Xiu put down the book and went upstairs to rest.
I'll have to sweep the snow from the yard tomorrow......
