Chapter 4: Pressure
"Little Er, bring me six Seven Spirit Grasses, twenty Grizzly Bile, and fourteen Earth Qi Beards. ”
"Okay, wait a minute. After answering Makino's call, the shopkeeper skillfully grabbed several medicinal materials, wrapped them and put them in front of Makino, and said, "These are the three medicinal materials you want, a total of fifty copper coins." ”
Fifty copper coins?
After hearing the price quoted by the shopkeeper, Makino was stunned for a moment, and he remembered that he didn't seem to bring any money when he went out. As a supreme god in the previous world, money was as useless as dust to him, which made him not even think of the need to bring money before going out.
Scratching his head in embarrassment, Makino smiled at Xiao Er and said, "Xiao Er, I forgot to bring my money bag when I went out, see if you can take credit for the time being, I'll bring it to you next time." ”
"On credit?" The voice dragged on for a long time, and the shopkeeper glanced at Makino up and down and said, "You see that you are dressed decently, why don't you bring money when you go out?"
Frowning, Makino said coldly: "The last half of the sentence, you will tell me again?"
"Hey, give it back to me, right?" Just as the shopkeeper was about to continue, a white-bearded old man walked out slowly.
"Who allowed you to be so unreasonable to Master Mu?" Walking to the cabinet, the white-bearded old man said in a cold voice: "Get out of the backyard and wash the toilet, the guy who has no eyesight!"
After listening to the words of the white-bearded old man, the shopkeeper's face turned white instantly, he never thought that the person standing in front of him was the eldest young master of the Mu family, one of the three major families in Qingxi Town.
After punishing the shopkeeper, the white-bearded old man looked at Makino and said, "Young Master Mu, I'm really sorry. This little two doesn't have any eyesight, please forgive me if I hit your place, these medicinal materials you want will be given to you by our store. ”
"I'll take the herbs first, and I'll give you a lot of money later. Without further ado, Makino picked up the packaged medicinal herbs and turned around and left the Holy Medicine Pavilion.
After Makino left, the white-bearded old man casually flipped through the record book on the counter, and after he saw the three medicinal materials that Makino bought, he couldn't help frowning and said, "These three medicinal materials have conflicting attributes, what is this young master Mu going to do?"
......
After returning to Mu's house with the medicinal herbs, Makino quietly returned to his room and began to prepare bone refining ointment.
The preparation of plasters is different from alchemy, as long as you are familiar with the proper dosage of the plaster, you can easily prepare it. Unlike alchemy, it requires strong spiritual power and strong spiritual power. Of course, there are advantages and disadvantages, and the types of potencies of plasters are by no means as numerous as pills.
However, just as Makino was crushing the medicinal herbs and preparing to start mixing the plaster, someone outside the door suddenly shouted: "Young Master, the wife of the family said that I have something to find you, so you can go to the lobby with me now." ”
Looking for me?
Hearing what the man outside the door said, Makino couldn't help but wonder in his heart, what was going on in such a hurry to find himself early in the morning.
Although he didn't really want to go, Makino knew that if he didn't go now, he would be disturbed again and again, and it would not be a good thing to mix bone refining cream for himself.
Putting aside the matter of mixing the plaster for the time being, Makino went out and followed the domestic servant all the way to the lobby. However, before he could enter the lobby, he heard the sound of an argument inside.
"Hmph, set up another family head?" On the wooden chair on the side, Yongya said with a cold face: "The next head of the Mu family has already been set as my son Muye. Besides, the position of the head of the Mu family has always been held by the descendants of the lineage, and your three elders will not know about this matter. ”
"Madam, I know about this, but we also have to think about the future of the family, don't we?
The eldest young master, he has not been able to cultivate since he was a child, and he is destined to do nothing in this life, wouldn't it be tyrannical for him to sit in the position of the head of the family. ”
Sitting opposite Yongya, Mu Yuze opened his mouth mercilessly and continued: "It's better to replace it with my son Muhe, as the first person of the younger generation in the clan, he is the most capable of leading the future Mu family, isn't it?"
"Hmph, it's a good sentence for the sake of the family's future. On the wooden chair on the side, Yongya said with a cold face: "The family rules of the Mu family are the rules handed down from generation to generation, and you can change them wherever you say it!"
"Madam, this rule is set by people, and besides, there has never been any of the previous heads of the Mu family, who is a waste who can't cultivate!" Looking at Yongya on the side, Mu Yuze smiled and said, "For today's matter, my lady who was in retreat also came here, and she is now a second-class alchemist." ”
As soon as Mu Yuze's words fell, a richly dressed woman walked in from outside the lobby, this woman was Mu Yuze's wife, Qin Lan of the Qin family!
Glancing at the people of the Mu family present, Qin Lan sat down and said without saying a word: "I am not as patient as my husband, if I don't hand over the position of the future head of the Mu family to my son Muhe today, I will definitely make that kid from Muye pay a painful price for yesterday's actions!"
Of course, on the contrary, if the head of the future Mu family is my son Muhe, then I will definitely ask the people of the Qin family to come forward in the future to help you regain the land that was robbed in the market some time ago. ”
Like the Mu family, the Qin family is also one of the three major families in Qingxi Town, but its strength is much stronger than the Mu family. Coupled with the fact that she is a second-class alchemist, Qin Lan didn't take the people of the Mu family in her eyes at all, she came here today to put pressure!
"Haha, don't mind, my wife, she's joking. Gently patting Qin Lan who was sitting beside him, Mu Yuze smiled and said, "But I still have to remind the elders that we have to think carefully about the pros and cons of this matter." ”
At this time, in front of the other four elders of the pastoral family, there are nothing more than two paths.
One is sacrificing Makino for the sake of the family, and the latter will undoubtedly become a laughing stock in other people's small talk in the future.
The second is to defend Makino, thus offending a second-class alchemist and losing a great opportunity to regain the market land.
Needless to say, the four elders knew very well which of these two paths was better or worse.
The thin white hands gradually clenched, looking at Mu Yuze with a wicked smile on his face, and the arrogant Qin Lan, Yongya opened her mouth and said coldly: "Your eldest brother Mu Kang was really blind at the beginning, in order to save you from the beast tide, he was willing to give up an arm!"
If it weren't for that, how could you Mu Yuze have your life today, standing here and bullying his children! Have you ever thought that you will take the position of the future head of the family, and how will my son Muye be a person in the future!. ”
