Look, I just heard his name at the city gate, and even the guards guarding the gate were so frightened, it can be seen that he must be a notorious person, how can this kind of person be let go by the government? This is a threat to the government's position and profits.

"Then who knows...."Qingya didn't know more than her, grabbing the small pebbles on the ground and throwing them around, "Originally, he wasn't so powerful....he wasn't so famous when the master was here...."

Speaking of this, the little girl also sighed, after the old man was gone, the sky really seemed to collapse, and in her cognition, many things had changed.

“… That is, it has come out of the past two years... It is said that he was a poor family in the countryside, and his family was a smuggler of salt, and his brother was beaten to death by other smuggler salt dealers, and he took a few people to kill more than 20 people on the other side in order to avenge his brother, and then everyone was afraid of him, and then he became more and more powerful..."

It's the black man who eats the black man, Liu Meibao is angry, and she is no longer interested.

"Let's go, we've rested for a while." She looked up at the sky.

"Don't, just wait." Qingya looked frightened and looked in the direction of the city gate, "It's better to be safe, don't run into those salt dealers..."

Liu Meibao smiled, "Look at what you said, it's like a bandit." ”

"It's not like a bandit, no, it's more ruthless than a bandit..."Qingya said in a low voice with a white face.

The two of them sat on the street, although they both felt hungry, but because the money for selling medicinal materials was far lower than expected, there were more worrying things waiting for them, but they couldn't care about being hungry, and they sat until the end of the night, and the two turned back to the city gate.

There were still people coming and going in front of the city gate, and the guards leaned against the city gate and laughed with their spears, without the slightest abnormality.

"Look.." Qingya pulled Liu Meibao out of the city with her head down, and suddenly whispered, pulling her sleeves.

Liu Meibao looked at the place where her fingers were slightly cocked, and saw a pool of dark red faintly on the dusty ground, it was the height of summer at this time, and there were insects and flies flying on it, and her heart couldn't help jumping.

This is where the man in the green robe asked for help...... Could it be true that he was killed on the spot? In the daytime, and in front of the government guards?

Liu Meibao couldn't help but turn her head to look at the guards in the hole in the city wall behind her.

The guards were talking lively, leaning back and forth laughing.

"Let's go.." Qingya quickened her pace, eager to spread her wings and fly away from this place.

As soon as I walked to the door of the house, I saw Zhou Liangyu visiting in front of the door.

"How?" He asked as he took a few quick steps.

Qingya's mouth collapsed and she shook her head.

Zhou Liangyu immediately understood, and the trace of luck that still existed in his heart was gone.

"It's okay, sister, don't worry, let's find a way..." he hurriedly comforted Liu Meibao.

Liu Meibao smiled at him and nodded.

"Well, don't worry, think of a way." She repeats the phrase as well.

Song Sanniang turned the line in the yard, and when she saw them coming back, she didn't listen to or ask.

The master and servant didn't sleep much all night, each with their eyes open and thinking about their hearts, and when it was just dawn, Liu Meibao got up.

"Girl.." Qingya also got up, "It's still early, let's sleep for a while." ”

"No, it's early, go up the hill and take a turn.." Liu Meibao put on cloth shoes and pulled up her hair.

These days, she has gradually become accustomed to life here, she has never had long hair since she was a child, and now she can comb two temples neatly, although it is not very good-looking.

"Still going to collect medicine?" Qingya asked.

"yes." Liu Meibao nodded, apart from herbs, she didn't know what else she could do to change the status quo.

On the second day, Liu Meibao carried a hoe for a day, and did not dig up any ginseng and shouwu or the like, so she had to return with a large bag of honeysuckle.

The deadline at the end of the month is approaching.

"Girl.." Qingya looked at Liu Meibao and tied up two sacks, and asked puzzledly, "Do you want to go into the city?" ”

"Go." Liu Meibao said, thought about it and walked to the front of Song Sanniang's house, "Uncle, we are going to the city to sell medicine, is there any cloth to sell?" ”

The sound of weaving in the house did not stop.

"Nope." Song Sanniang replied coldly.

"Then we'll go." Liu Meibao said.

There was no sound in the house, and Liu Meibao didn't care, so she and Qingya went out with a sack.

Entering the city and passing by Lu Laosi's inn, although there was no cloth and no firewood, Liu Meibao still took Qingya in to say hello.

"Miss Liu, I really made you right..."As soon as he saw Liu Meibao, Lu Laosi hurriedly smiled.

"What?" Liu Meibao asked.

"I'm itching, I'm really sick, what kind of blood wind sores are it..."Lu Laosi said with a smile.

Of course she was really sick, Liu Meibao pursed her lips and smiled.

"No, I've already taken the third medicine..."Lu Laosi continued.

Liu Meibao nodded, thought for a while, and then said: "If it is not good to take a few more pairs of medicines, you can try to stew a bowl of pig's blood with lard, once every two days, three times in a row." ”

"Pig blood?" Lu Laosi was slightly surprised, "This.. Also medicine? ”

"It's not medicine, it's diet." Liu Meibao said with a smile, I used to try this with my grandfather when I was in my hometown, and the effect was not bad, but I couldn't say this to Lu Laosi.

Lu Laosi sighed, doubted the letter, and said a few more gossips, and Liu Meibao left.

When she came to the pharmacy, the man looked at the medicinal materials well, and gave her thirty wen with a sack of thick skin and a bag of honeysuckle.

"I don't know what drugs sell at a high price?" Liu Meibao checked the money in her hand and asked the guy.

"That's a lot.." The guy laughed, "For example, ginseng, deer antler, gentian." ”

Liu Meibao smiled bitterly, she naturally knew this.

"So what medicines are out of stock recently, and the price will be higher?" She asked differently.

"Out of stock?" The guy was stunned by the question, and scratched his head, "This..."

"Girl, if you want to say it, it's really lacking," said another guy at the counter, as he opened the cabinet and looked at it.

"Oh? What's missing? Liu Meibao's eyes lit up.

"Mother of pearl." Dude said.

Qingya didn't understand what this was, and looked at Liu Meibao with some expectation.

Liu Meibao smiled bitterly.

"I don't know if it's Zhebei or Chuanbei?" She smiled, "It shouldn't be Tubei, right?" ”

"The girl is right." A little surprise appeared on the man's face, he actually knew that the fritillary was different due to different origins, and it seemed that he really understood medicinal materials, "It's Chuanbei ....."

Sichuan fritillary, as the name suggests, this is a taste of medicinal herbs, Liu Meibao shook her head.

"When is there a shortage of soil fritillaries produced here, little brother remember to tell me." She said, smiling at the fellow.

Seeing her say a joke, the guys were very happy, this girl was different from the women in their daily impressions, and they couldn't say what was different, anyway, it made people feel good.

"Be sure to tell the girl." Both guys nodded busily.

Liu Meibao nodded, sighed in her heart, it seems that it is impossible to have a thousand Wen at the end of the month, take one step at a time, say one step at a time, cheer up and say thank you, pack the money, and beckoned Qingya to go out, before she was about to take a step, she heard an earth-shattering cry of a child coming from inside the door.
