In ancient times, the traffic was too inconvenient, so Chen Yang was ready to buy a horse to ride, but considering Xiuju's size, ordinary horses were probably useless, so he simply rented a carriage.
"Guest, buy a horse?" The groom greeted him with a smile.
Chen Yang looked at the tall horses, and the smell of horse manure and grass constantly hit his nostrils, making Chen Yang feel a sense of vomiting.
Chen Yang asked, "Is there a carriage?" ”
The groom said, "Yes, do you rent or buy?" ”
"Rent." Chen Yang saw the carriages behind him, one of them was quite spacious, Chen Yang pointed to the carriage and asked, "That's it." ”
The groom said: "If you are only two people, that car is a little big?" ”
Chen Yang walked to the side of the carriage to look at the car, revealing Xiuju behind him.
When the groom saw Xiuju, the smile on his face suddenly froze, and said, "Guest officer, I still have a carriage here, driven by four horses, full of horsepower." ”
……
The groom sat in the front, driving the horses, and Chen Yang and Xiuju sat in the car.
Chen Yang's face was slightly pale, the carriage was too bumpy, and the little thing he ate in the morning seemed to be about to be spit out, but when he reached his throat, he was swallowed by Chen Yang again, swallowing back and forth several times, and finally couldn't help it, grabbed the curtain, and shouted: "Stop!" ”
The groom pulled the reins, and Chen Yang jumped down and knelt on the ground, vomiting~~
After spitting it out, it will be much more comfortable to sit in the car again.
After more than half an hour, they came to the outside of Beicheng, Xiuju showed the way, and finally stopped at a mud house by the lake.
There was an old man outside the house, wearing a hat on his head, sitting outside the house, and there were many medicinal herbs on the ground in front of him.
"Uncle Zhong."
Xiuju jumped out of the carriage and shouted at the old man from a distance.
The old man's eyes were not very good, but when he saw this figure, he immediately recognized it.
"Xiuju." The old man stood up and walked over to them.
When he got closer, Chen Yang found that this old man was about forty or fifty years old, not tall, about one meter seven, not fat or thin, with dark skin, shining with a healthy color, although there was no meat on his body, but the whole person was very condensed.
Xiuju introduced: "Uncle Zhong, this is a living immortal. ”
Chen Yang hurriedly interrupted and said, "Hello Uncle Zhong, my name is Chen Yang, I heard Xiuju say that you have a wild ginseng ......."
Before Chen Yang finished speaking, Uncle Zhong's face changed and said, "No." ”
Xiuju was puzzled: "But Uncle Zhong, you said ...... last time."
"I didn't say anything, you heard me wrong."
"No, when you said it, your face turned red with excitement, how could I have heard it wrong?"
Chen Yang knew that this old guy might have something unspeakable, so he said to Xiuju: "Xiuju, you go and sit over there for a while, and I'll talk to Uncle Zhong." ”
Fortunately, Xiuju heard Chen Yang's voice, oh, and walked to the side to tease the dog raised by Uncle Zhong.
Uncle Zhong's face was not very good-looking, he didn't know what Chen Yang wanted to do, but from Chen Yang's clothes and momentum, he guessed that this man should have some identity.
"Uncle Zhong, just the two of us now, if you have anything inconvenient, you can also talk about it. As for you, if there is really wild ginseng, I will definitely not treat you badly in terms of price, it is useless for you to keep this wild ginseng yourself, it is also sold to others, and it is also sold to me, and I guarantee that the price I give you will definitely be higher than everyone else. Chen Yang kept watching his reaction when he spoke, Uncle Zhong's eyes flickered, Chen Yang was sure that he must have wild ginseng.
After listening to Chen Yang's words, Uncle Zhong didn't speak for a while, and Chen Yang didn't urge, this person, there has to be a process for everything.
"Gongzi Chen, old man, I did find a wild ginseng." Uncle Zhong finally spoke, but Chen Yang heard that his words were a little strange.
Found? That's not digging?
Chen Yang asked, "Where is the wild ginseng?" ”
"Tianzhu Mountain."
"How many years?"
"Six-pint leaves." When Uncle Zhong said this, two rays of light suddenly erupted in his eyes.
"Six-pint leaves? How many years is that? Chen Yang didn't know much about this.
Uncle Zhong glanced at him and said, "At least two hundred years." ”
Chen Yang's eyes were shining, he grabbed Uncle Zhong's palm, took out a silver ingot and stuffed it, and said, "Uncle Zhong, you take me to dig up wild ginseng, and I still have a lot of thanks." ”
Uncle Zhong looked at the silver in his hand, which was three or two, but he was not moved, but there was a trace of struggle and fear in his eyes.
After a long time, Uncle Zhong handed back the silver and said, "Take back this silver." ”
Chen Yang frowned and said, "Uncle Zhong, what do you mean by this?" Is it less? Fifty taels, is it enough? ”
Uncle Zhong shook his head and said, "No matter how much money you have, you can't buy your life back." ”
Chen Yang sensed that something was wrong and asked, "That wild ginseng, it's not easy to dig?" ”
Uncle Zhong sighed and said, "Genius earth treasures must be guarded by spiritual objects. ”
"Spirits!?" Chen Yang narrowed his eyes and said, "Monsters? ”
A trace of fear flashed on Uncle Zhong's face, and his voice was only submissive, with caution, and said, "It's a fox spirit." ”
"Vixen!" Chen Yangmo rubbed his chin, there are monsters, this is not easy to do.
Wealth and danger are sought!
Chen Yang struggled in his heart, thought about it for a while, and finally decided to give up for the time being.
I gave my life for the sake of a wild ginseng, which is too cost-effective. If you want to be rich and dangerous, you have to have your life to ask for it.
The groom drove the two back to the city, and under Xiuju's pleading, Chen Yang promised to help her find a way to solve the problem of Yintang's blackening in the next few days.
When he pushed the door and walked into the house, Chen Yang was surprised to find that Xu Xian was not in the yard.
There was a sound of chatting and talking in the kitchen, Chen Yang approached, and saw two familiar figures in the kitchen, who were in a somewhat depressed mood because of the fox spirit, and instantly got better.
Xiaoqing and Bai Suzhen are here.
Chen Yang walked over with a smile on his face, and found that Xu Xian's guy was also in the kitchen, and he immediately stared vigilantly.
"The little young girl is really ingenious, if anyone marries you, it is definitely the ancestors who have accumulated virtue." Xu Xian boasted vigorously.
What woman doesn't like to listen to rhetoric, although Xiaoqing is modest on the surface and pretends to be casual, but her heart is beautiful, and she really has a vision.
Bai Suzhen was chopping vegetables on the side, Xiaoqing was stir-frying with a spatula, and Xu Xian sat on the side and chatted with them with a smile, and didn't go to help add firewood.
Xu Xian also tried to talk to Bai Suzhen, but Bai Suzhen had a quiet personality and didn't like to communicate with strangers, so he focused on Xiaoqing.
"White girl, little green girl, you are here." Chen Yang walked in with a smile on his face.
Bai Suzhen, who was chopping vegetables, heard a familiar voice, and was overjoyed, and when she looked up, the hand holding the knife suddenly fell, and she accidentally cut her finger, and blood suddenly flowed out.
When Chen Yang saw it, he stepped forward quickly, grabbed her palm and picked it up, and said, "Why are you so careless?" With that, he put her finger in her mouth.
