readx;?“ Smack......"
Shopkeeper Zhang slapped the table with a slap and said angrily: "This unfortunate person must be causing trouble outside again." Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info”
The family was startled by this, as if he had injured his head just now, and covered his forehead with his hand and said: "No, uncle, this time it's not that the second master wants to cause trouble, it's a girl who wants to rob the second master on the black market, and the second master was forced to move, but he didn't want to ...... But I don't want to...... Uncle, you better hurry up and take a look, otherwise the second master will ......"
"Alas......" Shopkeeper Zhang sighed heavily, and said to Li Ding: "Look at Lei Gongzi, as soon as you come back, you will encounter this kind of thing, which makes you laugh, I will go and see it and come back immediately." Then he said to Wang Lei: "Brother Wang, you accompany Lei Gongzi, I will go back when I go." ”
Wang Lei nodded with concern, not wanting Li Ding to stand up and say, "I don't know who is hurting, why don't you go and have a look, so as not to worry about the shopkeeper." ”
Shopkeeper Zhang hesitated for a moment, but nodded and said, "It's okay, maybe Lei Gongzi can help." ”
These words made Li Ding's heart sink, but he didn't think much about it, and everyone hurried to a small courtyard and entered a wing room on the east side.
As soon as he entered the door, a man said in a crying voice: "Big brother, you have to be my master, now any cat or dog dares to bully our Zhang family." ”
I saw a flower bed, a middle-aged fat man with scattered hair was lying on the bed crying hoarsely.
Seeing this, Wang Lei frowned, tilted his head to the side, obviously seeing a big man crying like this, which made him extremely upset, but this was in someone's house, because of the shopkeeper's affection. He couldn't say anything.
"Tian Er, didn't you say that he had one breath left?" The shopkeeper Zhang suddenly yelled at the family who led the way, and the frightened guy knelt on the ground.
"Zhang Xing. Why don't you really let people be beaten to death, and it saves me from worrying. "Turn your head. Shopkeeper Zhang scolded the middle-aged man on the bed again.
"Big brother, did you talk like that, I really almost beat people to death, don't believe me. Zhang Xing cried and motioned to Tian Er, who was kneeling on the ground, and Tian Er quickly climbed to the side of the bed and slowly pulled the quilt covering him.
I saw that Zhang Xing's bare back was scorched black, as if it had been burned by fire, although it was not blurred flesh and blood, it was shocking to see.
"This is ......" Shopkeeper Zhang was also taken aback. I didn't expect Zhang Xing to be so badly injured.
"Big brother, you know that I have been afraid of pain since I was a child, and I am now relying on vegetarian pills to calm this injury, otherwise I don't know how many times I have died. Zhang Xing cried.
"Who the hell hurt you?" In an instant, Shopkeeper Zhang's anger weakened a lot.
"It's Du Jian, when you were still in Wangcheng, although this guy was always against our family, he was still somewhat restrained, and when you left, he ...... He's simply targeting our family everywhere. Zhang Xing said.
"I'm not telling you to keep a low profile and not act recklessly. Is there anything I'll deal with when I get back?, what's going on?" asked the shopkeeper reproachfully.
"I ...... I didn't want to mess with him, ah......" Zhang Xing wanted to speak and stopped, as if he had pulled the wound. He grinned in pain.
Seeing this, Shopkeeper Zhang angrily took out an elixir from the spirit ring and let him take it, and then slowly quieted down.
"Uncle, the second master really didn't want to cause trouble. Tian Er suddenly continued with a worried face: "Just yesterday, the second master took a fancy to a beautiful girl on the black market, and as a result, a splash always bid with the second master, and the second master fought with the splash skin for a few rounds on a whim, but I didn't expect it...... I didn't expect the boss behind the splash to be Du Jian, as soon as this guy came out, he said that the second master refuted his face. said some ugly words again, and the second master couldn't help but move his hand. But the second master is Du Jian's opponent, and the result is ...... And that's it. ”
"The royal city is a heavy place. Du saw that if he dared to hurt him, would no one care?"
"Du Jian is a fourth-grade alchemist, it is said that he is going to impact the fifth-grade pharmacist conference this time, and those officers and soldiers are too late for him to scold, who will care about him. Not only that, but the second master was injured like this, but the pharmacies in the city did not sell medicinal materials to us. The second master was afraid that his wife would be worried, so he told us not to tell his wife, if it weren't for the fact that there was still some stock at home, the second master might have ......" Tian Er replied, and he also shed tears.
This Ding is also a sloppy man at first glance, but listening to his words, he is quite loyal to Zhang Xing, the second master, which makes people a little moved.
"Big brother...... If it goes on like this, how can our Zhang family still gain a foothold in Wangcheng. Zhang Xing relieved himself and said in a mournful voice.
The shopkeeper Zhang's face was intertwined with a complex expression of anger and sorrow, and he pondered for a moment and said: "Zhang Xing, I came back this time to plan to make a last stand, if I don't want the century-old foundation of the Zhang family to be destroyed in the hands of you and me, I will do it here." ”
"What is the eldest brother going to do?" Zhang Xing asked suspiciously.
"Give me the half volume of the pill in your hand, I will definitely refine this pill at the alchemist conference this time. Shopkeeper Zhang's face became resolute.
"No, my father didn't refine it as a fifth-grade alchemist back then, so it was impossible with your strength. Zhang Xing suddenly said with an unwilling expression: "I see ...... Otherwise, according to my meaning, as soon as our brother sells the Danfang, he will leave the royal city as soon as the money is in hand, and he will not have to worry about it for the rest of his life. ”
"Do you want your father to die without turning a blind eye?" said the shopkeeper Zhang, furious.
"I ...... I can't help it, I'm not unclear about my eldest brother's thoughts, but after so many years, what is the result? I'm a wasted person, I won't say anything, but you are still just a second-grade alchemist today, I think you should also wake up and stop dreaming, big brother. ”
Zhang Xing's words made the shopkeeper Zhang's face look ugly, and it could be seen that he was very depressed in his heart, but he didn't have a seizure, but gritted his teeth and said: "I said, this time I have refined this Dan, you say you pay it or not." ”
As he spoke, the spirit ring flashed in the shopkeeper Zhang's hand, and he took out a stack of paper from it and threw it in front of Zhang Xing.
With doubts in his eyes, Zhang Xing picked up the paper and looked at it, first stunned, and then suddenly widened his eyes and said, "Where did this come from, is it...... Big brother, have you peeked at my half of the volume?"
"I will never disobey my father's will, and I also said that I will never take a look at your half volume until I have thoroughly participated in the refining process and have the ability to refine this pill, what do you mean by this?"
"But except for the lack of a few herbs and the amount of herbs, the contents of these papers are almost the same as the labels on my half of the volume, or even ...... Some of them are even more detailed!" Zhang Xing was surprised on his face, and suddenly said urgently: "Who wrote this, big brother, you won't reveal the content of the Danfang to others, so the value of this Danfang will be greatly reduced?"
"It's this Lei Gongzi. Shopkeeper Zhang suddenly pointed at Li Ding and said, "But don't worry, Lei Gongzi has only seen the attachment I copied, and he is not an alchemist, so you don't have to worry about the Danfang being leaked at all." ”
Hearing this, Li Ding understood why Shopkeeper Zhang said that before, but what surprised him was that he didn't expect that the ancestor of Shopkeeper Zhang would be a five-grade alchemist.
He didn't expect that the Danfang annex he had seen was completely complete, and the shopkeeper Zhang should have kept a hand at that time, after all, he was a stranger and could not be fully trusted.
However, seeing the importance that the two brothers attached to the Dan Fang, he knew that this Dan Fang was by no means ordinary, and he was relieved of what the Shopkeeper Zhang did at that time.
"If you're not an alchemist, how can you write such a profound thing?" Glancing at Li Ding, Zhang Xing asked in surprise.
"Maybe it's because of the pity of God, let me meet a nobleman, although Brother Lei is not an alchemist, but his understanding of medicinal materials is compared to a six-pharmacist, and he is by no means inferior. With the help of Brother Lei, I have thoroughly understood the refining process. Now I have great confidence that I will be able to become a Dan. Shopkeeper Zhang said with a resolute expression.
Here, Li Ding didn't expect that the few pages he wrote would be so useful, but the shopkeeper Zhang's promotion was obviously a little too much, so he had to smile and say nothing.
"What if it doesn't work?" Zhang Xing asked.
The shopkeeper Zhang said with a look in his eyes: "If it doesn't work, then it means that my fate should be like this, and I will admit it, then Danfang can deal with it as you want." ”
Hearing this promise, Zhang Xing's eyes flickered, and he didn't know if it was because of the pain, or if he was making a decision, after a while, he suddenly said to the loyal Tian Er: "Take out the things." ”
Tian Er was stunned for a moment and said, "Second master, this is in front of outsiders." ”
"If you are told to take it, you will take it, where is so much nonsense. Zhang Xing said angrily, grinning in pain.
Tian Er then walked to a cabinet next to him, opened the drawer and took out something, but it was a dagger. Then he walked to the lantern and burned the tip of his knife on the fire, and suddenly he held the knife in his right hand and slashed it into his left wrist.
I only heard a sound of scorching, and with a scorching smell, the tip of the knife picked out a small thing from the meat and landed on the ground.
This time the incident happened suddenly, except for Zhang Xing, everyone who was shocked almost screamed, but Tian Er had already closed his mouth in pain, covered his wrist and picked up the thing from the ground and handed it to the shopkeeper Zhang.
Seeing that Tian was holding a bloody red ring in the second-hand hand, everyone was surprised that he would hide the ring in his wrist.
"No wonder those people stole it several times and didn't steal it, I admire you a little bit for thinking of this method, Zhang Xing. Shopkeeper Zhang took the ring, put it into the spirit ring without looking at it, and then handed it back to Tian Er a small bottle and said: "This medicine is the most beneficial for your kind of wound, hurry up and apply the medicine." ”
Tian Er took the medicine bottle and walked to the side, where Zhang Xing smiled bitterly and said, "I'm not a cultivator, my father handed this to me back then, it was believed in me, I naturally have to think of something." However, what the eldest brother said before counts. ”
Shopkeeper Zhang's face was solemn, and he didn't answer directly, but put a small jade bottle in front of Zhang Xing and said: "Eat less Suxin Pill, eating too much anesthetic is not good for your body, here are five second-grade pills for healing, take care of your injuries, you don't have to worry about other things." ”
After speaking, he turned around and walked out of the door, Li Ding and Wang Lei arched their hands towards Zhang Xing, turned around and followed.
