Chapter 38: Meet the Man in Black Again
Because he knew the true purpose of the cloud shopkeeper, Lu Ziqing agreed
"Good! This saves me the trouble of sending medicinal herbs! ”
Seeing that Lu Ziqing agreed, the cloud shopkeeper said to Xiao Zhang
"Xiao Zhang, you go and put the carriage on!"
Xiao Zhang: "Okay shopkeeper!" ”
Xiao Zhang went to set up the carriage, but Lu Ziqing asked Lu Zixiao to go first, and by the way, let him buy more meat.
When Xiao Zhang set up the carriage, Lu Ziqing and the shopkeeper sat in the carriage together.
The carriage was faster than the ox cart, so when he arrived at Lu's house, Lu Ziqing arrived home first than Lu Zixiao.
……
The Lu family
Because it was getting dark, Mrs. Lu stood at the gate, and when she saw a carriage coming towards her house, she was a little puzzled, but when she saw her granddaughter open the curtain, it was even more strange.
When she saw Mrs. Lu looking around at the gate, when Lu Ziqing stopped the carriage in Xiao Zhang, she jumped out of the carriage and shouted at Mrs. Lu
"Grandma, we've got a guest at home."
"Guest?" Mrs. Lu hadn't come back to her senses for a while, so she was a little puzzled, and after the doubts, she said with a smile on her face
"Then invite the guests in!"
Mrs. Lu said as she walked towards the carriage.
Lu Ziqing took the horse stool from Xiao Zhang's hand and put it on the ground, and helped the cloud shopkeeper to say
"Uncle Yun, this is my home!"
After Lu Ziqing finished speaking to the cloud shopkeeper, she said to the old lady Lu who came over
"Grandma, this is the cloud shopkeeper of the Yun Family Medical Center!"
"The old man has seen the cloud shopkeeper!" Mrs. Lu helped a greeting salute.
"Old Madam Lu is polite, it should be the junior's to give you a salute." The cloud shopkeeper smiled and bowed in response.
"Uncle Yun, our peasant family is like this, you follow the customs!" Lu Ziqing joked with a smile.
Hearing Lu Ziqing's words, Old Lady Lu also smiled and agreed
"Cloud shopkeeper, please come in, our peasant family treats distinguished guests like this, don't be surprised!"
"Old Madam Lu, where are you talking about this, I'm just the shopkeeper of a medical hall, and I'm not a distinguished guest!" The cloud shopkeeper walked into the courtyard as he spoke.
Seeing the knotweed all over the courtyard, a comfortable smile appeared on the face of the shopkeeper Yun, so he looked at Lu Ziqing who was following behind
"Miss Lu, where are the dry knotweed you are talking about? We're going to weigh it now! ”
Looking at the eager cloud shopkeeper, Lu Ziqing said with a smile
"Uncle Yun, the first time you come to my house, just have a light meal and go back!"
"No, no, I really don't have much time this time, after this knotweed is weighed, mine will be sent to Dongxian overnight!" The cloud shopkeeper waved his hand
"I'll eat this light meal next time!"
Seeing that the shopkeeper was really anxious, Lu Ziqing didn't have much to persuade him, so he had to take him and Xiao Zhang to weigh knotweed.
This time, the knotweed is 683 catties, so it is 4 taels of silver and 781 copper coins, and the cloud shopkeeper is still given loose silver and copper coins.
When the cloud shopkeeper got into the carriage, he looked at Lu Ziqingdao
"Miss Lu, I'll ask Xiao Zhang to come again tomorrow night, how many knotweed are there?"
Lu Ziqing replied with a smile: "If the man in black doesn't come, these two thousand catties shouldn't be a problem!" ”
"Then it's troublesome Miss Lu!" After the cloud shopkeeper finished speaking, he got into the carriage.
After sending away the cloud shopkeeper, the Lu family began to collect those half-dried knotweeds, and the Li family said while collecting them
"Alas, if the man in black hadn't made trouble, we would have been able to collect more knotweed today!"
"Isn't it?" Liu echoed, "If we don't collect it on this day, we will lose a lot of money!" ”
"Mother, aren't you complaining that you're tired?" Lu Ziyun teased on the side.
"You little girl, this knotweed sold for almost eight taels of silver in one day, remove the capital, and make a few taels, for the sake of silver, even if you work hard, it's worth it! It's a pity that the knotweed has already been cut! Liu replied with a smile.
Lu Ziqing: "Auntie, while there is no work tonight, everyone will rest early, tomorrow will be at most a rest in the morning, and we will continue to work in the afternoon!" ”
"Yes, everyone hurry up, eat early after drying, and have meat in the evening!" Mrs. Lu said loudly.
After finishing the work and having dinner, Lu Ziqing finally had her own personal time.
So when she returned to her room, she first closed the door, and then took out from her sleeve a few small bottles and cans that she had stolen from the black-clothed captain, as well as a dagger and a few silver tickets.
The silver tickets are of small denominations, and they add up to just over a hundred taels, and the daggers are also average, so Lu Ziqing is a little disappointed.
However, after seeing the name on the vial, Lu Ziqing laughed wickedly
"Hehe, developed, developed, this soft tendon is good! I didn't expect that man in black to bring so much poison!
And each bottle of poison is also equipped with an antidote, it seems that I have something to defend myself in the future, haha......! ”
Lu Ziqing, who got carried away, forgot that the sound insulation effect in ancient times was very poor, so Hu's voice sounded outside the door
"Qing'er, what's wrong with you?"
"It's okay, mother, I just saw a stupid mouse, so I couldn't help but laugh?" It seems that he has carried away.
"Mouse?" Hu Shi outside the door was puzzled: "Then I'll go and see if your grandmother still has rat poison!" ”
"No need mother, the rats have already run away! I'm so sleepy, I'm going to sleep! Lu Ziqing yawned as she spoke.
"That's it! Then you sleep well! Because he was busy in the past two days, Hu thought that Lu Ziqing was really sleepy.
"Okay mother!" Lu Ziqing responded, and hurriedly put away those bottles and cans, as for the silver tickets, although she disliked them, she still put them away, although the denomination is small, but it is also a silver ticket, isn't it?
After packing up her things, Lu Ziqing went to bed.
The next morning, Uncle Fu and the others came to Lu's house again, because the shopkeeper Yun was in a hurry, so Lu Ziqing told them a few words, and let them dig knotweed, as for the few medicinal materials that asked the shopkeeper Yun yesterday, Lu Ziqing also arranged for someone to pick them.
Liu, Li and a few brothers, Lu Ziqing let them rest at home for a morning, and after noon, they continued to cut and dry knotweed.
As for herself, Lu Ziyun and Lu Zixi, the three of them went to the back mountain of Lujia Village, originally Lu Zixi asked her to stay at home, but Lu Zixi was making a fuss about going, and Lu Ziqing had no choice but to agree.
Because he was worried that there were fierce beasts on the mountain, Lu Ziqing brought the dagger and those poisons with him when he went up the mountain.
As soon as she arrived on the mountain, Lu Ziyun saw a bunch of medicinal herbs similar to the Ten Great Merits, and asked Lu Ziqing
"Ziqing, is that one the top ten merits in the book of medicinal herbs?"
Lu Ziqing nodded and said, "That's right, eldest sister, and it's still a lot of people!" Quickly cut it down and take the branches. ”
"Hey, good!" After Lu Ziyun answered, she walked over and slashed with a sickle.
It would take at least half an hour to cut such a large piece of the top ten merits, so Lu Ziqing looked at Lu Ziyun and the two of them
"Eldest sister, Xi'er, you cut this here, I'll go around the neighborhood."
"Then be careful!" Because Lu Ziqing recognized a lot of medicinal materials, Lu Ziyun advised.
"Got it, big sister!" Lu Ziqing answered and left.
Lu Ziqing came to the mountain today, mainly to find some samples of medicinal materials, so she basically took a look at some medicinal materials that were not easy to dig and left.
When she saw a few Prince's ginseng, she was just about to dig with a pickaxe when she suddenly felt that the breath in the forest was wrong.
So she quickly hid in the thatched pile next to her, buried herself in the haystack, held her breath, and saw her eyes through the gap.
I saw a fifteen or sixteen-year-old boy in the woods, holding a sword in his hand, borrowing the forest trees with light skills, and flying towards the forest space not far away, and the five men in black chased after him.
