When he went out, Xing Ruyi went straight to Li Siniang's wine shop, and naturally he didn't know what happened at home.

Now, the business of the Li family's liquor store is better, and before I arrived, I heard all kinds of bustling voices. Li Siniang, who is as delicate as a flower, but has a man-like personality, was even more besieged, and even her voice was almost hoarse. is still a clever bell, and when he saw Ruyi from afar, he shouted "Sister Ruyi!" Sister Ruyi! He ran over. Siniang was surrounded by people, although she also saw Ruyi, but she had nothing to do, she couldn't break free, so she could only nod at her and continue to deal with those who bought wine.

"Is this liquor store's business like this every day?" Ruyi asked casually, but listened to the bell sigh.

"What? This business is good, but the bell is not happy! ”

"The bell is not unhappy!" Bell pouted: "Sister Ruyi, do you know what kind of wine these people are here to buy?" ”

"Of course, the signature peach blossom of the Li family's liquor store is drunk!"

"Not really!" The bell pointed to the people in front of him: "They are all here to buy wine to ward off evil spirits." ”

"Could it be that all their families have old cold legs?" Xing Ruyi frowned.

This evil spirit-driving wine is a recipe given by Xing Ruyi after he became a shareholder in the liquor store, and it is a kind of medicinal wine. Its main ingredients are Liu Jinu, clematis, tendon grass, bone grass, chicken blood vine, deer horn gum, hyssop, papaya and Wujia skin, these drugs are mashed, put into a fine gauze bag and tie the mouth tightly, put it in a container, and then pour in high-quality liquor, seal and soak, can dispel rheumatism, pass the meridians, strengthen the muscles and bones, and have a miraculous effect on the "old cold legs" caused by fatigue, cold and dampness. originally gave Siniang this prescription, but he couldn't bear to watch those poor people who were tortured by the old cold legs but had no money to buy medicine suffer. Siniang's liquor shop is a cheap business, and most of the people who come to her to buy wine are ordinary people in the city or suburbs. Therefore, this exorcism wine sells quite well, but suddenly, so many people poured in, not to mention that the bell was depressed, and even Xing Ruyi himself was a little puzzled.

"What? If someone in the family was really sick, her sister-in-law would not be surrounded like this. They all came for the word "exorcism", and the sister-in-law explained to them, saying that our wine only cures diseases, not evil spirits, and shouted that the sister-in-law looks down on people and is unwilling to sell the wine to them. Sister Ruyi, you can talk about it, this medicinal wine is also medicine, if my sister-in-law sells it, what if I drink it? ”

"Exorcism?" Xing Ruyi became interested: "Feelings, they came to buy our wine to exorcise evil spirits." ”

"No, they're all from the same village." The bell glanced at those people sullenly: "This has blocked my sister-in-law for most of the day, and I don't even want my sister-in-law to drink saliva if I don't have business." These people are even more difficult than the difficult readers in the city who say they will not clean up. ”

"Okay, okay, my little bell, you go to the back and make some throat-moisturizing tea for Siniang, leave the previous things to me!" Xing Ruyi pushed, pushed the bell into the shop, and then found a high ground to stand. Qi Luck Dantian, shouted out: "If you want to buy evil spirit-driving wine, look for me!" ”

shouted out of thin air, saying that it was not noticeable, it was false. The group of people who were originally surrounding Li Siniang all shifted their attention to Xing Ruyi's body in an instant. Someone has a quick mouth, and after glancing at Xing Ruyi, he asked Li Siniang: "Who is she?" ”

"The big shopkeeper of our Li family's wine shop, Xingruyi, Xing girl!" Li Siniang exhaled lightly, and while everyone was unprepared, she was stunned and squeezed out.

"The big shopkeeper of the Li family's wine shop? So what she said, can it count? Some people did not believe it, and they shouted again.

"Since he is the big shopkeeper of my Li family's wine shop, how can he talk and not count." Li Siniang glanced at the man: "What the torture girl said is what I Li Siniang said, and what the torture girl did is what my Li family's wine shop did." ”

"What about the exorcism wine? Siniang refuses to sell to us, the torture girl is always willing, right? ”

"What my Li family wine shop does is to open the door to sell wine, and there are customers who come to the door, why don't I want to do it with real money." Xing Ruyi held Li Siniang's hand and came down from the high ground: "It's just that my evil spirit-driving wine is different from other wines, if you want to buy it, you have to see if it can be used." ”

"If you can't stand it, you naturally don't need to worry about it. We take the silver, buy the wine, today my Wang Peng is here to put down the words, if we drink this wine in the future and can't afford to use it, whether it is death or injury, it has nothing to do with the Li family wine shop. In that case, would the torture girl be willing to sell me this wine? ”

"I don't want to!" Xing Ruyi spit out three words lightly.

"Why?"

"If you don't want to, you don't want to, where is there so much why?" Xing Ruyi rolled her eyes: "This girl is the big shopkeeper of the Li family's wine shop, she can sell it if she wants to, and if she wants to sell wine, she won't sell it, what can you do with me?" ”

"The words of the torture girl are also unreasonable!"

"Are you reasonable? You are reasonable, and you have surrounded my liquor shop like this? See what's standing outside? Xing Ruyi pointed to a group of people watching the excitement in the outer circle, his face was not red, and he said breathlessly: "They are all guests who come to my wine shop to sell wine, you don't listen to persuasion, you don't reason, you block the door of my wine shop, and I can't do business for most of the day, is this your reasonable attitude?" ”

"It is not our wish to besiege Siniang, and we are willing to compensate for the losses caused to the girl. It's just that this wine, please ask the girl to sell it to us. Wang Peng is a lively person, when he heard Xing Ruyi's words, he originally wanted to be angry, but he forced it down in front of everyone: "Don't hide it from the girl, we use this wine to save our lives, and we save the lives of our whole village." If the girl is willing to sell wine, she will be the benefactor of our whole village. ”

"It's quite earnest, so let's spread the place at the door for me, and don't delay the normal business of my liquor store. As for the life-saving things in your mouth, move a small stool, find someone who is less clean, and tell me slowly. It makes sense, I don't want any wine for nothing, and I'll give it away for free. I don't pay attention to what I said, I'm sorry, please go elsewhere and buy alcohol. ”

"Is this deliberately embarrassing us?"

"Definitely, I'm here to help you!" Xing Ruyi glanced at Wang Peng's face: "You are so angry that you have to buy my evil spirit-repelling wine, and you keep saying that you want to save the lives of the whole village, isn't it because of the evil qi that happened in your village?" I'll tell you the truth, I don't sell this wine! It's not because I don't want to save people, it's because I know that even if you buy it, it's useless. Because this is just an ordinary medicinal wine, the effect is written on the name of the wine, and the muscles are activated, but it is a pity that you are blind and can only see the word exorcism. But then again, if your story is so beautiful that I am not careful, girl, maybe I will go to your village and help you drive away evil spirits, catch a demon, and collect a little ghost or something. ”

"The torture girl is a mage?" Wang Peng asked suspiciously.

"It's a part-time job!" Xing Ruyi said, hooking the corners of his lips: "Anyway, I have already made it clear, if you believe it, tell me what happened in the village word for word." But if you can't believe it, take your money and your people and go from whence. Don't try to make trouble in front of my wine shop, in this huge Luoyang City, I don't know anyone else, but Chang Tai, the first arrester of the Jingshi Mansion, is my brother-in-law. ”

"I can testify that Chang Zhukuai is indeed our brother-in-law in charge of the criminal treasurer!" Li Siniang spoke out at the right time, and added by the way: "And our criminal shopkeeper is still a capable person, in addition to doing business, he can also investigate cases and identify the murderer, and drive away evil spirits and demons." It should also be your luck today, and you happened to meet the criminal treasurer to come to inspect, otherwise you will not be able to ask for it. ”

Xing Ruyi twitched the corners of his mouth, and said in his heart, Siniang, your hat is also a little higher for me.

But when I think about it in my heart, I still have a smile on my face, and you love to believe it or not.

Wang Peng is very entangled, but at the moment, Siniang refuses to sell wine, and the new criminal shopkeeper seems to be even more difficult. At the moment, he has only one way to go, and that is to use dead horses as live horse doctors.

"Can the torture girl come here?"

"Yes, of course!" Xing Ruyi said, and went to a secluded place first. Li Siniang was a little uneasy, and ordered the bell to look at the wine shop, and quickly chased after him.

Everyone sat down, and Wang Peng told what happened in the village.

Wang Peng's village has a very special name, called Fei Jiao. Most of the people in the village are surnamed Wang. To the north of the village, there is a large forest with many living creatures. In the village, the people are simple and simple, and most of the villagers make a living from farming. In their spare time, the villagers mostly hunt in the forest as a pastime, and occasionally collect some dry firewood.

As the weather was getting warmer and there was no farm work to do in the fields, after dinner, the young people went out into the forest in groups to set a trap for the animals. Most of the pheasants and hares that were hunted from the forest were also reluctant to eat, so they were sold into the city and replaced with household subsidies. The evil spirit of the village started in this wood.

"Did you meet a mountain spirit and a ghost?" Xing Ruyi dozed off and regretted coming out of the house.

"It's not a mountain spirit ghost, but it's scarier than a mountain spirit ghost!" Wang Peng rubbed his palms: "Because of that person, we all know it!" ”

"Evil?" Xing Ruyi rubbed his eyes and reluctantly lifted his spirits.

"It's considered evil!" Wang Peng said, the person first stood up, then sat down again, although his face was still calm, but panic appeared in his eyes. Thinking about it, this past is also something he is extremely reluctant to recall.

"The night before yesterday, I had dinner with Zhuzi, my cousin, and went to the woods. A day earlier, we had seven or eight sets in the woods, and we figured we could catch something. Strange to say, it seemed to be dark very early that day, and by the time we got into the woods, it was already completely dark. We first looked at two places, but we didn't find anything, and when we got to the third set, we saw a gray rabbit. Just as I was about to call my cousin over and take the gray rabbit down, I suddenly heard a strange animal cry from the tree overhead. I didn't think much of it at the time, so I followed the voice and looked up."

When Wang Peng said this, he couldn't help but shiver, and his face turned pale. Li Siniang saw it, hurriedly returned to the wine shop, took the ** peach blossom drunk, handed it to Wang Peng to warm his body, and came back to his senses by the way.

It is said that wine is strong and intimidating, Wang Peng, this guy, actually drank a ** peach blossom drunk as water, and took a few sips of it, but his face was ruddy, and he was drunk for seven or eight minutes, and he realized that he was quite sober. He glanced at Xing Ruyi with confused eyes, and then recalled: "I originally thought that the tree was just an owl or a wild cat scurrying around, but who knew that when I looked up and saw it clearly through the moonlight, I was so frightened that I almost sat on the ground!" Do you know the torture girl? There was a man squatting on the tree! ”
