Shan Yusheng said embarrassedly: "The time to practice is too late, and the small ones are lazy." ”
Li Hao sighed, shook his head, and secretly said that no one hung the knife above his head all the time, so he was not so desperate when he practiced. If he hadn't experienced Xue Yue'er's three arrows to protect him, he wouldn't have practiced martial arts so hard.
Shan Yusheng thought that Li Hao was talking about him, and said firmly: "Li Daxia, don't worry, the little one will definitely practice hard in the future, and he will never dare to be lazy again!" ”
Li Hao smiled and said: "Eat a trench, grow a wisdom, you kid is a good learner!" Move things out carefully! ”
"Be careful, don't smash it!"
Li Hao hid the Night Pearl and the two secret books on his body, grabbed the jade horse and the jade girl, and threw them out with a smile.
Shan Yusheng didn't expect Li Hao to take the precious treasure so seriously, and he was taken aback. If the jade carving is smashed, it is only worth a few taels of silver, which is a world of difference from its original value.
He stretched out his hand to stop him, stretched out a little, and quickly took it back. It wasn't until he nervously watched the guards grasp it lightly and carefully placed it on the stone table that he breathed a sigh of relief and honestly moved the bulky pile of gold and silver.
Li Hao threw the remaining jewels into the wooden box, and the rest was quickly wrapped into the silk bag, and threw it out lightly, Xue Yue'er and they reached out in turn to take it, and put it on the stone table first.
Li Hao himself was packing up the precious jewels in the dark grid, and Shan Yusheng consciously moved the heavy gold and silver, wrapped it tightly with silk cloth, and slowly jumped out of the road.
He didn't dare to be like Li Hao, throwing it out recklessly, if he fell a piece, it would be a disaster of broken bones.
After processing the gold and silver, Li Haoyuan Road stood back before returning to the jewelry, wrapped those light pearls and gems tightly into a bag with silk cloth, and put them next to him until Shan Yusheng came in, and then threw them out one by one.
While packing up the jewelry, Li Hao suddenly asked, "Where is the silver ticket for the bounty?" ”
Shan Yusheng said: "I put it outside, and I didn't put it in the treasure room." ”
In fact, there are not too many gold and silver jewelry, about 300 taels of gold, 1,000 taels of ready-made silver, and the rest are light pearl gemstones.
Shan Yusheng only went in and out twice, and then emptied the bulky gold and silver, and saw Li Hao staring at the night pearl above his head, and persuaded in a low voice: "Li Daxia, those small night pearls are not worth much silver taels, it is inconvenient to pick them, when you jump down, you may step on the mechanism if you are not careful, so don't pick it up." ”
Li Hao laughed and said, "Forget it, it's not bad to keep it here for use as a treasure room in the future." ”
Li Hao went out first, and Shan Yusheng returned all the stone walls to their original positions.
All the treasures over there had been packed up, and Xue Yue'er only carried the pile of precious jewels thrown out by Li Hao, and the bulky gold and silver of the other silk bags were handed over to the guards and Shan Yusheng to carry.
Seeing that Xue Yue'er had already packed up and was just waiting to get out of the secret room, Li Hao said with a smile: "Are you going to go out?" As for the medicinal herbs, the medicinal herbs have not been taken yet! ”
Xue Yue'er smiled wryly: "I really forgot this!" ”
Shan Yusheng returned to the stone room where the dry food was stored, flapped the mechanism, and there was a "click" sound, and a three-foot-square stone lattice appeared again.
Shan Yusheng's movements as he walked over seemed random, but Li Hao could still see that his movements were light and agile and walked according to certain rules. Suddenly, Li Hao felt that this news agency was also broad and profound, and it was quite useful, and he had the idea of wanting to learn.
When Li Hao was delusional, a strong medicinal fragrance came to his nose, and the medicinal materials inside were either wrapped in silk cloth, or packed in wooden boxes, and some were packed in porcelain bottles, several of which were exactly the same as those obtained by Li Hao from cleaning the battlefield.
The medicinal materials are light, and there may be fewer mechanisms here, Shan Yu Sheng learned from Li Hao, and threw out the contents one by one.
The two guards quickly took turns and put them back on the stone table.
In the end, Shan Yusheng slapped a few more times in this stone grid, and there was a "click" sound, and a smaller stone grid appeared.
There was nothing else in it, just a wooden box.
Li Hao took a look, there was only a stack of silver tickets and a house deed, and there was no land deed.
Li Hao scolded with a smile: "This robber who doesn't work hard doesn't even want land!" ”
Shan Yusheng said: "The deeds of the fields are all kept in their respective homes, and they often have to be bought and sold, so they don't have to be brought here to hide them." ”
Looking at the decades-old ginseng, the human-shaped shou wu, and the black and purple Ganoderma lucidum, there are several large and small gold and silver packages, as well as more than 500,000 silver tickets and field deeds in his arms.
Li Hao shook his head and sighed: "My son originally thought that the 300,000 taels of bounty was already their entire family property, but I didn't expect it to be less than half!" ”
Shan Yusheng said: "When the reward was issued, my brother-in-law ...... The two tigers are indeed close to bankruptcy. These silver taels were all snatched by desperately looting later, plus the masters of ambushing and hunting tigers, and swept away some of their collections, so much accumulated in a year. ”
Li Hao said: "Why didn't they have so many before, but this time it has increased suddenly?" ”
Shan Yusheng said: "In the past, after they occasionally snatched some money and silver, they all gambled a lot, and went in and out of Fengyue Field to enjoy the light, but now in order to hunt down Li Daxia and collect killers, they have converged a lot, which is naturally much faster than before." ”
Xue Yue'er touched those rare and precious medicinal herbs, and couldn't help but sigh: "There is such a benefit in robbing the house!" Brother Hao, let's do this too, it's much easier than being a boss! ”
Li Hao scolded with a smile: "Then you wait to be hunted and wanted, and divide the corpse with a knife!" By the way, even after death, the head has to be hung on the flagpole of the city gate building and exposed to the sun for several days, hanging the head in public, and the corpse is thrown out to feed the wild dogs! ”
Xue Yue'er couldn't help but shudder: "So cruel? That's better not to be a robber! ”
Shan Yusheng shivered, and hurriedly swallowed back the idea of persuading Li Hao to change his career to become a robber. Thinking that this is indeed the case, unlike them, who are heroes, they blatantly swept away their hard-earned treasures, and they were unharmed.
At most, it is also remembered by the thief who does not open his eyes.
The same grievances in the rivers and lakes, hatred and killing, a chase that can be done in a bright and upright manner, righteous and awe-inspiring, receiving a reward after killing, and some people praise it; A hidden, shrunken, sneaky hibernation assassination, in addition to the pleasure when he succeeds, gets a lot of money, but is always worried about his head, maybe one day, he will be gone.
Wrapped nearly 100 catties of precious medicinal materials, the two guards and Shan Yusheng carried the most, followed by Xue Yue'er carrying light and rare jewels, Li Hao was empty-handed, and only brought a lot of silver tickets, a night pearl and two secret books.
With nearly 100 catties of things on his back, he bent over and jumped left and right in the narrow passage, and his heart was beating wildly, and the hardships were unknown.
When they ran out of the stone chamber with lanterns and jumped off the stone wall, they let out a long breath of turbidity, and their whole bodies were already sweating profusely and their clothes were soaked.
With the power of the mechanism they had seen before, they became more worried, over-nervous, and naturally their sense of fatigue increased.
"Click......"
Shan Yusheng, who stayed at the door of the stone cave, turned off the machine and jumped off the stone wall.
"Such a treasure has been swept away by us like this, and now the speed is down the mountain to boil medicine!"
Li Hao looked at the closed rock, sighed, and rushed towards the bottom of the mountain under the gray moonlight. Their lanterns had been thrown in the stone wall mechanism, and they were running fast, and it was not convenient to carry a lantern.
Bypassing the small village at the foot of the mountain and returning to a town with wide roads, in a burst of dog barking, Li Hao and the others ran into the pre-rented house in the town.
Inside the house, an iron pot for boiling, a medicine trough for pounding medicine, and ordinary medicinal materials are all prepared. There are also large vats of spirits, the kind that have not been spiced or herbs added.
Throwing the jewelry into Li Hao's temporary bedroom, everyone rested for a while, adjusted their breath, and began to add firewood to make a fire, add high-quality spring water, and pound the medicine and powder.
These clumsy jobs were naturally handed over to the guards and Shan Yusheng to do. Xue Yue'er only cared about selecting high-quality medicinal materials and confirming that they were correct, before carefully weighing them and handing them over to the guards for grinding. Li Hao was observing and calculating the time when medicinal materials were added, some medicinal materials had to be ground and added, and the key was to grasp the heat and the time of adding successively.
When the heat is to be heated rapidly, the fire must not be broken, otherwise the medicine will not achieve the desired effect, and it will be invalidated.
The fire was burning violently, the medicinal water in the iron pot was boiling, and the thick medicinal fragrance was spreading, which could be smelled from afar.
After boiling for half a column of incense, Li Hao drank the order to immediately reduce the amount of fire and simmer slowly.
Shan Yusheng hurriedly took out a large handful of firewood from the stove, inserted it into the ash pile to extinguish it, the smoke was billowing out, choking him to cough, tears flowed, he reached out and wiped it indiscriminately, and suddenly turned into a black cat face.
"Haha......"
Li Hao laughed happily and ordered: "Be careful of the simmer, it can't be extinguished, it can't be too big, the medicine is broken, this son has you to feel good!" ”
Running back and forth for more than 200 miles, late at night, Li Hao was so tired and drowsy, but he didn't want to slowly repeat this monotonous action and get through it again.
Shan Yusheng said: "The small one must be careful to watch!" ”
Thinking of being a first-class master, but now he has been reduced to a small guy who burns fire and boils medicine, Shan Yusheng feels a little aggrieved, but Li Hao personally supervises it, and he doesn't dare to serve without care.
Some medicinal herbs are boiled directly with spring water, and some are put into another iron pot to fry and dry, and then developed into powder.
That's not all, after Xue Yue'er weighed the amount carefully, she personally boiled another small porcelain jar. It is filled with a superb honey, decades of old ginseng and other precious medicinal materials.
Slowly, start to collect the fire and take the medicine. Some pots take soup and discard medicines, some slowly boil to collect juice, and finally the pot becomes only medicinal herbs, such as Xue Yue'er boiled in a jar.
The medicinal herbs were gradually prepared, set aside, in a large iron pot, washed clean, and filled with a bucket of fresh spring water. In the middle of the spring is a large jar filled with original spirits with nothing added.
Suddenly, the rich and mellow aroma of wine, overshadowing the faint medicinal fragrance, permeated the streets of the town, making a few nearby drunkards so hungry that their nostrils sniffed deeply, and they kept smacking their lips in their sleep. I'm afraid that this will cause them to dream of being with each other in Xiangzui or enjoying it in a restaurant.
Gradually, the wine inside became as hot as the water outside, and the bubbles rose, so Li Hao slowly added tiger bone powder and other medicinal powders, as well as unprocessed tiger tendons, and slowly boiled it.
The hot water boiled some dry, and Li Hao scooped a spoonful of prepared boiling water from the side and poured it to replenish it, at this time, he couldn't add cold water to cool down.
After boiling for more than an hour, a lot of firewood burned a lot, and the medicinal wine in the wine jar slowly rose up to a white mist, which was not the smell of wine, but the vapor of spring water.
On the top of the wine tank, it has long been sealed, and there is a bamboo tube to collect the evaporated medicinal wine. At the other end of the long bamboo tube is a smaller jar of wine, which contains the preliminarily boiled warm medicinal liquor taken from the large jar.
The wine in it is no longer the original white color, but has become a thicker honey yellow, and a little thicker it becomes the same as honey.
Gradually, the wine in the vat was almost boiled, only a few ripe yellow tiger tendons remained, Li Hao threw it into the small wine vat, and added the medicinal liquid that Xue Yue'er boiled in a porcelain jar, where there were only a few medicinal herbs with purple red, orange yellow, etc., and the soup was gone.
After adding this liquid medicine, Li Hao actually sealed it directly with mud and placed it in warm water to slowly let it cool naturally.
The guard was surprised and asked, "Is this good?" ”
Li Hao smiled: "This is not good, shouldn't my son stay up until dawn and don't have to sleep!" ”
A large jar of wine originally weighed more than 300 catties, but after Li Hao's repeated tossing and dosing, it became only 150 catties, a sharp decrease of half.
Only one altar was boiled, and it took more than three hours to boil it well, and it was already early the next morning when one altar was boiled again.
Two jars of medicinal wine are more than 50 catties more than the scheduled amount.
The guard looked greedily at the medicine and wine, "Li Hao, can we take two sips of this and take it back?" ”
Li Hao shook his head and said, "Now the medicine has not been added to the wine, so it can't be taken out!" I have to wait until a month later before I can open it! And when the time comes, take it out of the jar yourselves, and count it as your reward for you. But when you take a little, you must get a month period, and you have to deduct the weight of the wine jar and the medicinal materials, don't use the wine jar to fill the number of this son! ”
The two guards were overjoyed, and nodded again and again: "Definitely not!" ”
After deducting those weights, the two of them will each be able to share more than ten catties of medicinal wine. It was worth more than 10,000 taels of silver, and it was still a scarce commodity that could not be found.
In the town of Black Cow at the foot of Black Bull Mountain, on the streets of dawn, there were suddenly a few sounds of horse-drawn carriages running, one step ahead of the crowing chickens, which woke up the townspeople's dreams.
The carriages waited in front of the same house, but the people did not lead to the same place, and the two passenger carriages went out of town and headed west.
Then, the two carriages stopped in front of the house, and immediately someone brought five jars of fine wine from the house, two jars of good champion red, one jar of extremely strong three cups of drunkenness, and two jars without wine seal marking, which should be unique to the local special wine.
The sound of galloping horses sounded one after another, and the noise made a few people who had just turned over and fell asleep couldn't help but scold, saying that it was the damn funeral or what's going on, and it didn't let people sleep peacefully in the early morning.
The passengers in the second carriage were two knights with knives. They were wrapped in thick cotton clothes, and their faces were covered with white scarves, revealing only two turquoise eyes, which were different from the colors of the natives, and could not be seen without looking closely.
They're not so much chivalrous as they're drinkers. Because in their carriages, apart from themselves, there were large jars of wine, and each jar contained more than 100 catties. Put them in the carriage, and they were all wrapped in thick cotton cloth to prevent them from bumping on the road.
It didn't take long for the two carriages to hear the strong smell of wine, and it turned out that the two people were already in the carriage, scooping up the wine in the wine jar with the dry food they had prepared last night.
The smell of meat and wine tempted the two coachmen who were gnawing on the cold trowel to swallow their saliva, and secretly said that the two drunkards were too eccentric to go to the restaurant to enjoy, but they were eating in the bumpy carriage with such a few jars of wine.
