Chapter 92: The Connector
On the one hand, Xiao Er is really busy, on the other hand, he really pities the two brothers and sisters, although he is only a little two, but he is the second child of the largest inn in Xile City, and he is very decent.
Goudan hurriedly ran to the street, many people who sell water know Goudan, and many people still take good care of Goudan, so Goudan directly bought all the water of the people he knows, "You come with me, this water, there are distinguished guests to use." β
When the group heard it, they were surprised, this Xile City, there is a severe shortage of water, who bought such a handful of water, it must not be used for two or three days, how much can be used to cook rice and boil water, they are in this group, but there are dozens of people.
"The price is the same as your usual price, and the guests bought it for the bath." Of course, Goudan saw these people's questions, so he explained and set the price.
In this way, the dog can earn dozens of dollars with a handful of water, dozens of picks, and the money earned is enough for him to buy dozens of catties of food, at least this month he and his sister will not just be half-full.
The first one said: "This kid never lies, let's believe him once, and it's not far away." β
The people waiting for the back door of the inn were a little stunned when they saw dozens of men carrying water, but they saw Xiao Er, who had been waiting for a while, come out: "Come, hurry, pick it in." β
Xiao Er used the silver that Xiuyuan rewarded him, and first paid for the water of these men, and only when he got the money did he believe that there were really people who were so extravagant that they used the water they drank to bathe.
The movement of the boiling water room alarmed the shopkeeper, knowing that it was an additional request from the guest, and promised to give additional money, the shopkeeper acquiesced, but the money in hand, to pay part of the counter, after all, take the water privately, and the shopkeeper knows that it is different, occupying the resources of the store, you have to pay the store.
Xiao Er moved quickly, quickly boiled the water, and continuously sent water to the room chartered by Xiuyuan and his group, and asked loudly why Xiuyuan and them could enjoy such treatment first.
The shopkeeper had no choice but to come forward to explain, "This is the water that the guests ordered people to buy and drink on the street, and this large bucket of bath water is worth one tael of silver, not to mention the use of our people and firewood, adding up, at least two taels of silver." β
Hearing such a sky-high price of bath water, many businessmen were a little unbearable, after all, according to the water bought by Xiuyuan and the others, it would cost more than fifty taels of silver just to take a bath.
Didn't they come all the way to this place to suffer just to make some money? Such an extravagant style is not suitable for them, but it is just a later bath, but the river water is much cheaper, and at least you can take a bath and eat well in this store, and the conditions in other shops are much worse than here.
After the long road was washed, I slept beautifully.
When Lu Manman woke up, the sun was about to set, and it was finally not so hot, Lu Manman was going to go out for a walk, so he took grapes out of the house, and as soon as he went out, he saw a swarthy young man, kneeling directly on the ground, "Thank you, you for buying my water today." β
Lu Manman looked confused, Grape hurriedly said the afternoon's events, Lu Manman reacted, looked at the man in front of him, and said with a smile: "I'm not a nobleman, don't kneel casually, men don't kneel casually, anyway, they all buy water, whoever buys is not buying, you don't need to thank me." β
But Goudan is very stubborn: "The money I earned today is enough for me and my sister to eat this month, thank you for your grace." β
Then he ran away without looking back, and Lu Manman looked at it and wanted to laugh: "What a stubborn child." β
Grape empathized: "Miss, you don't know, how hard ordinary people live, my father used to work hard all day, only enough to buy a few catties of food, our family has a large population, can't eat at all, hungry stomach is uncomfortable, but also the slave maid's life is good, was bought by Mrs., now full of food and clothing, slave and maid look at that young man, not very old, want to come to earn a day, not enough for a few people to eat, the food here is expensive, half more expensive than the food in the capital, no wonder they can't eat enough." β
"You talk a lot, but that kid is quite sensible, at least he will be grateful for the help of others, you must know that in this world, there are many ungrateful people, some people, who have received a kindness that others can't repay in their lifetime, but in the end they killed the benefactor's entire family." Lu Long said casually.
"Miss, are you telling the truth? The slave maid received the great favor of the lady, but she planned to repay it even if she did not die for the rest of her life. "Although the grape is named as the girl of the Lu family, it is actually no different from those little girls who have not been trained, and the mind is still very simple, and Lu Manman does not intend to use words to make the grape understand the evil in this world, anyway, there will be opportunities in the future, which is enough for her to discover slowly.
The prisoners who were exiled here had dark faces, and all of them were dragged to the reclamation and digging wells, so although this was a place of exile, not a single prisoner in the city could be seen.
It's not so hot, although it's getting dark, but the city is lively, many merchants from other places began to come out with their goods, and soon the street was lit up with lanterns, and Qin Niang has been following the road from a distance.
The officials also began to come out, and while maintaining order, they were followed by a person who looked like a scholar, holding a pen and account book, collecting booth fees and keeping accounts at the same time.
"There's also something quite interesting here, similar to the night market in the capital."
"The slave maid hasn't been to the night market, I don't know, but the slave maid has heard it, it's very lively."
"It's so lively, it seems that whether it is these businessmen or officials, they can't stand the weather here during the day, no wonder when we enter the city, there are no people in the city, sparse and sparse, and the business of the shops is not good, I didn't expect the people here to do business at night."
"Miss, should we go and see if there are any good things to buy?" The grapes are one year older than Lu Manman, but they have seen much less things than Lu Manman, so they are much more naΓ―ve than Lu Manman.
"Okay, let's see."
Lu Manman was quickly attracted by an inconspicuous stall, selling herbs that had been dried and could not be seen at all, and the reason why Lu Manman was attracted was because there was a dried wind and snow grass here, which only grew on the snow-capped mountains, and had a miraculous effect on burns and fire poison.
"How do you sell this," Lu Manman asked, looking at the stall owner who had no sense of existence.
"Good eyesight, mother-in-law, among my pile of herbs, only this one is the most precious."
"Wind and snow grass is indeed the most expensive in this pile of herbs, but the other medicines don't look bad, but the disease that can be cured is not as serious as the disease that can be cured by wind and snow grass, but if you really want to talk about preciousness, only the symptomatic medicine is precious, not the right symptom, no matter how valuable the medicine is, for the patient, it is all poison."
The mother-in-law glanced at Lu Manman, and then said: "The valley master said, Miss Lu is an interesting person, the old woman still doesn't believe it, I didn't expect to meet the girl like this, it seems that the girl and our medicine valley are really fated." β
"You're from Medicine Valley, Granny Feng?" The road is long and somewhat uncertain.
Who would have thought that the poison king, who represents the villain, would be friends with the valley master of the Medicine Valley Immortal Wind Dao Bone, although the two have not seen each other for decades and have little contact, but when something really happens, they will definitely do their best to help each other, but it is only for the personal help of the two, and it will not involve the power of the Medicine Valley and Tieji Mountain.
"The old woman heard that you are going to pass through Xile City, so I have been waiting for you for several days, and I want to observe you from a distance, but what you just said is very much in the heart of the old woman, there is no absolute good medicine in this world, and there is no absolute poison, this is the reason why the valley master and the old monster intersect, you are taught by the poison king, and you are really clear-minded, not bad."
"Thank you Granny Feng for your compliment, I'm really sorry that the junior made you wait so long."
Granny Feng stood up directly, pulled the medicinal materials she put on the ground, put them all away, and then said: "Let's go, take the old woman to see your companion, if you want me to say, the old monster is not good at medicine, and he still doesn't admit it, the next time the old woman sees him, he has to say him well, such a good seedling, medical skills are half-baked, what a pity." β
Qin Niang looked at Lu Manman and Grape standing with an old woman, and was a little worried, so she walked out directly, "The main girl." β
Lu Manman looked at Qin Niang, nodded, and said to Granny Feng: "Granny Feng, this is the escort I invited, Qin Niang, Qin Niang, this is Granny Feng." β
Qin Niang now has no doubt at all that none of the people who have been known by Lu Long are mediocre people, so she made a junior salute very respectfully: "Qin Niang has seen the wind seniors." β
"Well, yes, it's a good one." Then Granny Feng suddenly grabbed Lu Manman's wrist, so startled that Qin Niang almost made a move, and then held back again, because she saw that Granny Feng seemed to be taking Lu Manman's pulse, both Lu Manman and Granny Feng saw Qin Niang's movements, but neither of them spoke.
Granny Feng was curious, Lu Manman was obviously taught by the old monster, not to mention poison arts, even if it was martial arts, it would not be too weak, and she would ask for guards, and when she saw Lu Manman, Lu Manman also gave people a very weak feeling, so she gave Lu Manman a pulse.
When Granny Feng put down Lu Man's hand, she said: "Speaking of poison, it is really still an old monster, the poison in your body, even if you are the valley master, I am afraid you can't find a better way, no wonder you are so weak." β
"Go back and give you some medicine, that medicine can make the medicine Gu grow better, and it will be good for your poison." Then Granny Wind walked forward alone.
Qin Niang felt as if she had heard some terrible secret, their main girl, was actually taught by the old monster, and she was highly poisoned, and even the old monster couldn't be completely solved, but Qin Niang didn't think of Lu Manman as the amazing and brilliant man-eating flower at all, after all, Lu Manman was only thirteen years old, and the man-eating flower was already very famous a few years ago, who could believe that a child less than ten years old could be so powerful.
Granny Feng soon arrived at the room of the inn Black Hawk, looking at Black Hawk, a good man, lying like this, Granny Feng felt a little sorry, but thought that since she came, Black Hawk's injury would always be much better.
After Granny Feng finished taking the pulse, the expression on her face was not relaxed, she thought that the old monster's medical skills were not as good as poison, so it was normal for Lu Manman to not cure this black eagle, and at the same time, she felt that it might not be so serious, but after really taking the pulse, Granny Feng found that Lu Manman could control Black Hawk's injury like this It was already very powerful, at least even if she was not absolutely sure, she could only control Black Hawk's injury to this point.
Black Hawk's internal organs are all damaged, and most importantly, all the tendons and veins are cracked, maybe with a little more force, the tendons and veins will all be shattered.
Granny Feng is best at trauma, "It seems that only the valley master's unpassed method Nine Turns Golden Needle Method can save him." β
The nine-turn golden needle method is regarded as the mastery of the valley lord of the medicine valley, only those who become the valley master are qualified to learn, and more importantly, the nine-turn golden needle method requires strong internal force support, if the internal force is not enough, the forced use of the nine-turn golden needle method, not only the patient, but also the person who administers the needle, will also be seriously injured.
Therefore, over the past generations, there are really not many valley masters who can practice the Nine Turns Golden Needle Method.
For the sake of Black Eagle, the group, left the inn early the second day, and when leaving, Lu Manman explained to Xiuyuan to ask Xiao Er to give the child called Goudan a silver ticket of five hundred taels, so that he could do something, so he waited until the evening, and kowtowed to Lu Manman to thank him for this gratitude, which is worth Lu Manman's help.
Lu Manman and his party, at first glance, are not ordinary people, of course Xiao Er did not dare to swallow this money privately, so he honestly gave the money to Goudan, when Goudan got the silver ticket, he immediately gave one hundred taels to Xiao Er, and the rest of the money, he left Xile City with his sister, planning to go to other places to beg for a living, and when he left, he also kowtowed several times in the direction where Lu Manman and his party left.
On the road behind, I didn't meet any people who didn't have long eyes, after all, the road is long, this group of people, it's not easy to mess with at first glance, not to mention the snake that follows Granny Feng, and even the bandits who like to rob passing merchants are obediently nested on the mountain, and their subordinates are puzzled: "Big boss, what are we afraid of." β
The big boss directly slapped the younger brother who asked: "You know a fart, you look at the pedestrian, look ordinary, but those people's lower plate is very stable, walking and breathing evenly and long, looking at the footprints on the ground, light, that is the characteristic of martial arts masters, and there are dozens of masters, such a person, you dare to rob?" I'll call you big brother. β
The younger brother was wronged, but he still knew that what the big boss said was true, and they couldn't afford to provoke these people.
After four days of traveling, the group finally arrived in Beishan County.
Beishan County is also a little better than Xile City, but it seems to be very desolate, and the only good thing is that there are more mountains in Beishan County.
Two days further north of Kitayama County, there is the sea, and it is separated from the prosperous castle of Chidorig Province by a strait. Without a big ship, you can't get through at all.
