Chapter 123: Fighting Poison
At the moment when Ai Xiaochan walked out of the pharmacy, I suddenly came back to my senses, how could he be so clear about what happened to the Ge family? And they have already predicted the fate of Ge Fu in the future, this Ai Xiaochan doesn't seem to be simple! Don't look at his mother's chirping, every word he said seemed to have some deep meaning, thinking of this, I turned my head to Wang Fatzi and asked: "Wang shopkeeper, who is this Ai Xiaochan from the Ai family?" How do you seem to know the Ge family very well! ”
Wang Fatzi immediately snorted in the direction where Ai Xiaochan disappeared, and then turned back to me and said: "This Ai Xiaochan is the youngest son of the old man Ai of the Ai family, and he is known as the third young master, and he has two sisters above, but they are all married, and now this Ai Xiaochan is the pearl of the Ai family." It is said that Mr. Ai also had two sons before, but they both died young, and in the end, Mr. Ai had a son in old age, it was this Ai Xiaochan, who was afraid that he would not be able to live, so he found someone to play a hexagram, took a woman's name, and raised him as a girl, so he raised it so big. Ergou, don't underestimate him, he is young now, although he is in his early twenties, he is already famous in the medicinal materials industry, all the medicinal material business of the Ai family is controlled by this Ai Xiaochan, he is a veritable young master of the Ai family! ”
I opened my mouth in slight surprise, mother, just such a girl, there is such a big background and means, such a young age, can be alone, it is really very comparable. As the saying goes, people can't look good, the sea can't fight, such a person, I'm afraid anyone will feel useless when they see it, no different from a little girl, but if you hear his background, you have to be cautious.
Wang Fatzi then said to me: "This Ai Xiaochan, his methods are more old and spicy than some ** lakes, last year there was a wealthy businessman from other places who wanted to open a pharmacy in Nancheng, but he was so stunned that he was tossed by this Ai Xiaochan and lost most of his family property and ran away. And in those streets in the south, if anyone dares to sell medicinal materials, they must give half of the profits to Ai Xiaochan, otherwise they will not dare to do business. ”
"So domineering?" I was stunned, and then laughed: "A person like him, any big man can beat him so that he can't get out of bed for three days!" ”
Wang Fatzi shook his head with a wry smile, and said: "Don't think so, don't look at this Ai Xiaochan's powerless appearance, in fact, he is all pretending, it is said that his father Ai Old Man, when he was a few years old, he invited a martial arts master to teach him leg and foot kung fu, just his three fists and two feet, even four strong men are not enough for him to clean up, otherwise why do you think I endured it just now and didn't have a seizure, in fact...... Actually, I'm afraid that I won't be able to beat him, and I'll be embarrassed......"
"Uh......" I was completely confused, I didn't expect this stubble to happen, but I didn't know what the result would be when I fought him, but I still chose not to see such a sissy again, which made people uncomfortable.
At this moment, the guy Xiao Zhao came back with the food, and after eating, I still couldn't let go, and I couldn't help but ask Wang Fatzi: "Tell me how Ai Xiaochan expected that the Ge family would be ruined in the future?" Could it be that these things have anything to do with Ai Xiaochan? ”
"Brother Ergou, don't say that!" Unexpectedly, Wang Fatzi hurriedly made a silent gesture, and then told me in a low voice: "If there is no conclusive evidence, you still can't wronged him, you must know that there are enough things in the Ge family now, if Ai Xiaochan really wants to fall into the well at this time, then I'm afraid your master Mr. Yang will not be able to save the Ge family." We can only swallow our anger with Ai Xiaochan now, and when the problem of the Ge family is completely solved, Ai Xiaochan will inevitably be more restrained, after all, his father, Mr. Ai, is still a bright and upright person! ”
I suddenly thought of something, and hurriedly asked: "The shopkeeper Wang, in about ten days, there will be a fighting medicine conference between the two Ge Ai families, how is this fighting medicine conference held?" Who is participating? ”
Wang Fatzi grinned and said: "Brother Ergou, the two Ge Ai families' fighting medicine conference is actually a competition to see whose medical skills are higher. ”
"Poison?" I opened my eyes slightly, and saw that Wang Fatzi nodded affirmatively, and I couldn't help but ask in surprise: "What is fighting poison?" Will there be dead people? ”
"Not really." Wang Fatzi waved his hand, then thought about it with a wistful face, and said: "Every year, the fighting pills are the most poisonous in the world, but the two families have prepared antidote before the fighting pills conference, so the danger to life is still not great, of course, those are poisons after all, and there is some damage to the body, but if you can detoxify from the poison, not only will it not be harmful to the body, but it will have great benefits." On the day of the fighting medicine conference, the two families of Ge Ai refined nine cups of poison respectively, and let the representatives of the other family drink it, if the nine cups of poison are drunk, the person is fine, it is a victory, if the person is poisoned and falls to the ground in the middle, it is a loss! ”
"Poison?"
I listened to what Wang Fatzi said blankly, it was like listening to a book from heaven, how could there be such a stupid person in the world, competing to eat poison, this is not in response to the old saying, light up the light in the toilet...... Looking for death ()? However, I saw that Wang Fatzi said so earnestly and seriously, and it didn't seem like he was joking with me, so he couldn't help but ask with some horror: "If you drink nine cups of poison, how can people be fine?" ”
Wang Fatzi laughed and said: "This is a game that can only be played when medical skills have reached a very high level, although it is nine cups of highly toxic poison, but if you see through the layout of the other party, in fact, those poisons are mutually becoming, there is a way to fight poison with poison, and use the different poisons to detoxify, nine cups of one step to drink, naturally it will be fine, but if it is a wrong step, not only can not detoxify, but will immediately fall to the ground!" ”
I didn't speak for a long time, and after a long time, I muttered to myself, "Then what are they doing this for?" ”
People live, I think there must be a hope, what to do, the two of them fight poison desperately, what if they win, what if they lose?
"For fame, for profit!" Wang Fatzi said unabashedly: "Of course, more importantly, this medicine fighting conference has been held countless times between the two Ge Ai families for hundreds of years, and it will be held every three years, which is already a tradition of the two families, and whichever one wins, you can get the medicinal materials on the nine mountains, Brother Ergou, you won't understand how valuable those medicinal materials are!" ”
"That's right!" I hurriedly interrupted Wang Fatzi's words and said, "I remember that Gu Tan's purpose in coming to Ai's house was to help the Ai family win the medicine fighting conference, so as to obtain the right to harvest all the medicinal herbs on the Jiulong Mountain Range, it is said that ...... Gu Tan was looking for something on the Nine Dragons Mountain Range, could it be that he had already learned about heaven and earth...... Is it in the middle of the Kowloon Mountains? The king's shopkeeper, where is the Nine Dragons Mountains? ”
Wang Fatzi casually pointed to the southeast direction and said: "According to this, dozens of miles away, near the seaside, there is the Jiulong Mountain Range composed of nine mountain peaks. ”
"So far away......" I couldn't help but beat a drum in my heart, if it was so far away, completely out of the boundary of Nanhu, but in Miaojiang's heart washing mirror and the old pig fairy's divination results, they all pointed to the three famous lakes in the south of the Yangtze River, if it was out of the South Lake, would it still count? But I quickly figured it out, the control of the Jiulong Mountain Range is between the Ge family and the Ai family, and the Ge family and the Ai family are local people in Nanhu.
Wang Fatzi stared at me puzzled, until I woke up from my thoughts, and then asked out loud: "Brother Ergou, what do you want?" ”
"Oh, nothing." I smiled, looking for the foundation of the Maoshan faction, it's better not to talk to Wang Fatzi in detail, after all, I can't let him understand.
In the afternoon, Wang Fatzi went to inspect the three pharmacies outside, and I wandered between the inner hall and the bedroom, but at the same time, I also went back and forth between the warehouse and the antechamber of the three pharmacies. But after touching for an afternoon, it was the same as the master, and I didn't find it at all, although I didn't open the eyes of heaven now, but if there is some yin and evil qi, I can still sense it sensitively, since I can't sense it, I can only do nothing.
In the evening, Wang Fatzi entered the inner hall with a bag of things, and said with a smile: "Ergou, today is also busy, the pharmacy outside has closed, it's okay now, I went to the restaurant to fry a few side dishes, how about we drink two cups?" ”
I grinned, immediately cleaned up the tabletop, and then asked the fat man Wang to spread out the burden, only to see that the good wine and food in it were quite complete, rubbing my hands, I drooled and said: "Wang shopkeeper, don't say, your little life here is really chic, hehe!" As I spoke, I poured two large glasses of wine, touched it with Wang Fatzi, and then took a sip, it was really a good wine, mellow and soft, and the fragrance was incomparable.
"Alas!" Wang Fatzi sighed lightly, drank a glass of wine, put down the wine glass, sighed again, and then said: "Brother Ergou, you don't know, I am also happy in suffering, you say that I have a family, but I can't go home to reunite with my family, I guard a few pharmacies all day long, and I am constantly busy, in fact, I am also miserable......
is also said that although Wang Fatzi is a big shopkeeper, he is still a buddy of the Ge family after all, he is more decent than those young guys and makes more money. After a few words of greeting, a meal of wine and food, we returned to the bedroom, I took off my shoes and lay on the bed, and said casually: "Wang shopkeeper, in fact, I am also very envious of you, although I work so hard all day long, but I finally have a home, and I, the person who does the Tao, takes the world as my home, and my home is the world, and my destination is no home, no home, that is, my home......"
Wang Fatzi smiled and said, "What is a home and no home, Brother Ergou, I don't understand a word of your Taoism." After speaking, Wang Fatzi also plopped down on the bed like me, but my small body was instantly squeezed by Wang Fatzi between the gap between the bed and the wall, and was sandwiched inside, I coughed hard, looked up, and saw that Wang Fatman's fat body almost covered the entire bed......
