Chapter 6: Greed Kills
Wison Pharmacy, in the backyard medicine warehouse.
Guo Tian picked up a blue herb, put it in his mouth and chewed it.
"Drop! The experiment is over, and the unknown plant ingredient has a slight paralyzing effect!"
"According to Guo Tian's memory, this is called Sanye Grass, the chip!
"Drop! Archived!"
After tasting the three nights grass, Guo Tian picked up another ginseng, tore off a ginseng whisker and stuffed it into his mouth.
At the end of the experiment, ginseng is sweet in taste, slightly bitter, slightly warm in nature, returns to the spleen, lungs, heart, and kidney meridians, and the qi male body is moist, rising more than falling; It has the effect of replenishing qi and solidifying the body, strengthening the spleen and lungs, calming the heart and intellect, and nourishing the blood!"
"Chips!
"Drop! Archived!"
Putting the ginseng back into the wooden box, Guo Tian picked up a herb again.
・・・・・・
Unconsciously, hundreds of medicinal materials in the warehouse were tasted by Guo Tian one by one.
"Chip! Newly configure the medicine to increase the number of times I practice the Great Demon Ape Fist every day. ”
The names of the drugs listed in the chips of "ginseng, mustard, catechu, star anise, cloves, sword beans, ......" are all medicinal materials that exist in this world. And there are a lot of stocks in the medicine warehouse, so Guo Tian doesn't have to bother looking for them.
Guo Tian was not ambiguous and took a paper bag.
He began to pick up the medicinal herbs, filled a full paper bag, and only grabbed the medicinal herbs once.
According to the method given by the chip, make a fire and boil medicine.
Half an hour later, three full bowls of black medicinal juice were poured out.
"Heh, it's really bitter. Guo Tian pinched his nose, picked up a bowl of medicinal juice and drank it.
In the interstellar era, where is the existence of traditional Chinese medicine?
If you have any disease, just put the person on the treatment device, and you don't even need to go to the hospital.
Feeling the warmth of the body, it was as if there was a fire burning in the body. Guo Tian hurriedly put away the other two bowls of medicinal juice, came to the courtyard again, and said in his heart, "Observe my physical state, and when your body can't stand it, please remind me in time." ”
"Okay. ”
After giving the order, Guo Tian started the Great Demon Ape Fist.
Once, twice, three times......
When Guo Tian hit the tenth time, a burst of electronic sound sounded in his head.
Advise the host to stop practicing, otherwise it will damage the body. ”
"Chip, check the changes in my body!" Guo Tian ordered, putting away his fist.
"By comparison, after this training, the main strength increased by 0.05, agility increased by 0.06, and physical fitness increased by 0.03" The chip faithfully fed back information.
"Great, you can practice 10 more times at a time, and you can practice 30 times a day. In this way, after 12 days, my physical fitness can increase by an average of more than 2.5, and my overall physical fitness can reach more than 3, and I will become a general-level martial artist. Putting away his fists, Guo Tian said excitedly.
"However, the chip also said that the effect of the Great Demon Ape Fist Technique will gradually decrease. ”
"But no matter how you reduce it, you should have no problem becoming a fighter in a month. ”
"Young Master, have you finished cultivating?"
Li Shun walked over at some point, followed by a girl.
"Well, something?"
Guo Tian was in a good mood and asked with a smile.
"Young Master, I hired a maid for you, she can take care of your life. ”
Li Shun stepped out of the way and pointed at the girl.
Originally, Guo Tian also planned to hire someone, but since Lin Shun would be a man, Guo Tian naturally would not have an opinion.
The girl is only eleven or twelve years old, her body is thin and weak, and her clothes are full of patches, but her appearance is also delicate, and she looks like a child from a poor family, and she has been used to working since she was a child. After someone takes care of it, things like washing clothes, cleaning the room, and other small things don't have to worry about Guo Tian, and you can free up time to practice with peace of mind.
As for the fact that the girls are not yet adults, there is no child protection law in the country.
There are also many people who marry at the age of eleven or twelve, let alone become servants.
"Okay, you arrange it for her, and tell her what she has to do. ”
Seeing that the girl was a little shy, Guo Tian did not talk to the girl, but commanded Li Shun.
"Okay, young master. Li Shun nodded, led the girl and turned away.
Smelling the stench, Guo Tian had to walk towards the bath room again.
In an ordinary house in the capital, Li Degui and Zhang Feicai were drinking alcohol.
"Brother Li, are you really willing to hand over the money?"
Zhang Feicai raised his head and drank a glass of rice wine, and said with a spitting of wine.
"Ahem, ahem...... What can you do if you are unwilling......? No, that stinky boy has a confession written by our own hand, and if we don't send the money tomorrow, he will definitely report it to the authorities...... Do you want to be executed by Ling Chi, and then your family will be beaten into slavery, and the family property will not be confiscated, unless you can make him not report to the official?" Li Degui picked up his wine glass, was stimulated by the spicy wine, and hurriedly ate a few bites of cold food, and said angrily.
"Brother Li, it's not impossible. ”
Zhang Feicai played with the wine glass in his hand and said meaningfully.
“...... What's the solution?"
Li Degui felt his mind dizzy for a while, and asked subconsciously.
"Brother Li, all you need is a fire. ”
Zhang Feicai lowered his voice and said.
"Are you...... Say?"
Li Degui woke up most of the time in an instant, licked his dry lips, and said.
"Yes, in the dead of night, we just need to set a fire......"
"As far as I know, our eldest young master doesn't have any martial arts, just a weak scholar. ”
"How did he escape from the fire?"
"As for the confession, how can it be left in the fire?"
Zhang Feicai attached half of his body and said in a low voice.
"This ...... This is the crime of exterminating the Nine Clans......"
Li Degui's eyes were full of hesitation, and he couldn't make up his mind.
"Hmph, Brother Li, are you willing to hand over the money? Besides, the eldest young master was not treated by the eldest lady in the first place, even if he died in the fire, no one would investigate, what are you afraid of?" Zhang Feicai saw Li Degui hesitating, and hurriedly persuaded him.
Thinking of the golden yuan buried in the corner, Li Degui's heart moved.
10 gold yuan is not a small amount, Li Degui alone accounted for 7 gold yuan. Li Degui's monthly salary is only 30 silver yuan, and 7 gold yuan is equivalent to his salary for nearly two years. Now that he wants to vomit out what he has eaten in his stomach, can Li Degui not be in pain?
"Brother Li, don't hesitate, even if we hand over the money. ”
"You can guarantee that the eldest young master will let us go?"
Seeing that Li Degui was obviously moved, Zhang Feicai added another fire.
Yes, can Guo Tian's assurances be believed?
What if the money is handed back, what if Guo Tian turns his face and doesn't recognize anyone?
Can you still tell the government that Guo Tian has promised to forgive them? The government won't listen to you. The government of Qi has always served the nobility, and the law is naturally beneficial to the nobility. Although Guo Tian is not a nobleman, he is nominally the eldest son of the Great General's Mansion, the son of a Viscount of Qi State, who do you say the government will help?
Thinking of this, Li Degui was not calm, a trace of fierceness flashed in his eyes, and he gritted his teeth and said, "Okay"
"Great. ”
Seeing that Li Degui agreed, Zhang Feicai's face showed excitement.
Li Degui hurriedly got up, walked to the window, and carefully probed to inspect it a few times.
I didn't find anything abnormal, so I walked back again, and blamed Zhang Feicai, "Okay, be quiet, be careful that the wall has ears, what should I do if someone overhears it?" When can you get rid of this reckless mistake and become more stable." ”
"Okay, okay, I'll change it. ”
"Brother Li, tell me what we do. ”
Although Zhang Feicai didn't think so, he didn't express it.
"Well, since you want to set fires, this oil is indispensable. In order to make the fire bigger, we must prepare at least four barrels of oil, so that each of us will prepare two barrels, and when the time comes, we will carry it over with a flat pole, and you will go back and prepare oil now. ”
"At midnight, we met in front of the Wende Temple in Dongcheng. ”
Li Degui thought for a while, and then spoke.
"Okay, I'll go. ”
I couldn't care about drinking the wine, so Zhang Feicai got up and prepared to leave.
"Wait, wait, remember to bring a mask. ”
Seeing that Zhang Feicai was still frizzy, Li Degui shook his head and instructed.
"Got it, got it. The voice hasn't fallen yet, and Zhang Feicai has already run away.
"Hey, with this idiot, I don't know if it's right or wrong?"
Li Degui sighed, but can there be a turning arrow when he opens the bow?
