Chapter 35: The Thief

The crowd craned their necks, trying to see what's going on in their cups.

Seeing the petals dissolve, many people let out a slight exclamation.

"Would anyone like to give it a try?"

She held the quilt and swept her gaze over the crowd.

Although I have seen her superb medical skills, after all, no one has ever seen this white flower, so no one dares to take the risk of standing up and being the first person to eat crabs.

She thought that the scene would continue to stalemate, so she planned to drink the glass of water herself.

Unexpectedly, a familiar voice suddenly sounded in the quiet crowd.

"I'm willing to give it a try."

Following the sound, I saw the man in green from before raising his hand high and walking out of the crowd.

"Alas! Since entering these dog days, I can hardly get out. Even when I was at home, I was sometimes so groggy that I couldn't copy papers. ”

With that, he took the cup, raised his head and drank it down.

Everyone watched intently, waiting for his reaction.

The man drank the potion, but he didn't think there was anything special, so he continued: "Girl, can you tell me more details about the location of your pharmacy?" If I finish copying the paperwork today, I'll definitely come to you to buy medicine!" ”

Seeing that his expression was sincere, Tong Xiang did not hide anything, so he informed him of his location.

When the crowd saw that they could not wait for the result for a while, they also dispersed. The owner of the pharmacy was saved by her, and he didn't pursue it anymore.

Sure enough, as the sun was setting, the man rushed to the house she rented, his face refreshed.

"Girl, how do you sell these white flowers? Can you give me three taels, I'll take them back and keep them. ”

Considering the price of snow fox grass, Tong Xiang calculated the appropriate price in his heart, and said, "Thirty taels of silver a catty." If it is three taels, it is nine taels of silver. ”

The man took the medicine bag and was ecstatic: "Nine taels of silver!" The price is the same as snow fox grass, but the amount is less than half of that of snow fox grass per use. Girl, for your sake, I, Yang, will definitely promote more for you among my colleagues in the future!. ”

With that, he left with a smile on his face.

Tong Xiang looked at his back, holding the silver in his arms, and a smile appeared on his face.

This white flower was collected by her from the previous world, and it was also a home remedy told to her by an old grandmother, but she didn't expect it to be more effective than ordinary medicines.

However, these white flowers seemed to grow only in the south, and she had never seen them before.

Of course, she has good physical fitness, so she naturally doesn't need these things. But because she liked the appearance of this flower, she cultivated a lot of these white flowers in the space, on the one hand, it was also reserved for her teammates.

I didn't expect these useless things to her to be sold at such a high price, Tong Xiang felt beautiful in her heart.

As night fell, countless lights were lit up in the downtown area opposite, and various colorful lanterns were hung high.

In the long river in front of the house, there are a few small and unique lotus lanterns scattered here.

Tong Xiang walked out of the house curiously and stood by the river.

On the other side of the river, some teenagers and girls hold hands with each other, holding a delicate lotus lantern together, and carefully placing it on the water.

Seeing the lanterns drifting into the distance with the water, those young girls would gently close their eyes, fold their hands, and face each other, not knowing what they were wishing.

Today may be a holiday, but in the memory of the original owner, there is no information about this holiday.

She felt novel, turned around, and asked Chu Xiao who was standing on the side.

"Do you know what holiday it is?"

Chu Xiao looked at the people in front of him, bathed in the little lights reflected in the river, and he had a special charm.

He felt a little thirsty for a while, so he turned his head and looked at the cool river water, and finally stabilized his mind.

"Today is the Lotus Festival." He coughed, and then said, "Many men and women who are in love will put lotus lanterns together and pray for white heads to grow old together. ”

Tong Xiang listened to his explanation, and suddenly felt that the wind at night became warm.

She pretended to be relaxed and strode forward.

"Since it's so lively, why don't we go to the other side for a stroll."

I don't know if it's because she made money or for other reasons, in short, she was a little excited today, and she couldn't sleep so early.

The two walked side by side and walked into the downtown area, but they didn't say anything all the way.

It wasn't until I approached a small circular square that I saw many people wearing masks and dancing in it.

There are many vendors standing at the gate of the square, and in the burdens they carry, there are all kinds of masks, including small and cute rabbits, and mysterious and charming fox demons.

A little girl with a string of masks walked up to the two of them, her face turned up, and her voice was very soft.

"Big brother, big sister, do you want to buy masks?"

The little girl's expression looked so happy that she couldn't bear to refuse.

However, Tong Xiang has not been interested in dancing since she was a child, and she was just about to explain, but she saw an afterimage passing by her.

As soon as she touched the cuff alertly, she found that the tael of silver in the sleeve was gone.

Her eyes quickly traced through the crowd, and she quickly picked out the thief and quickly followed.

Chu Xiao found that her expression was wrong, and he also understood what was happening, so after a little luck, he jumped onto someone else's roof and chased after her.

The thief had excellent foot strength, and the two chased him out of the downtown area, turned a few more alleys, and entered a dead end, only to see him stop.

Seeing the wall blocking in front of him, the thief knew that he had no way back. He turned his back and took a bamboo tube from his bosom and pointed it to the sky, ready to pull the rope open.

No sooner had his fingers clasped the rope than he felt a strong wind rise in his face. Before he could react, Tong Xiang's leg had already kicked him in the face, causing him to fly to the side and hit the door on the side.

There seemed to be a person living in the door, and when he heard this, the oil lamp in the house came on.

Tong Xiang watched the movement at the door vigilantly, and clenched the stone in his hand.

"Squeak-"

In the silent alley, the sound of the wooden door opening echoed emptyly, and it seemed a little creepy.

Out of the door came a big shirtless man, holding an oil lamp, and went out to inspect the situation outside.

Seeing the thief lying on the ground, the big man's eyes shifted to Tong Xiang on the side, with wolf-like vigilance in his eyes.

Chu Xiao flew down from the roof, blocking the big man's view.

Unexpectedly, there was another person on the roof, and the big man also nervously clenched the oil lamp, and the muscles on his arms were bruised.

A crow flew into the alley and broke the silence with a noisy roar.

Dahan suddenly patted his chest, tilted his head and laughed.

After laughing for a while, he kicked away the thief on the ground, walked over and said, "The two of you came to visit late at night, and I thought they were enemies." ”

"We chased the thief all the way and strayed into this place by mistake, and I hope it didn't disturb your rest." Chu Xiao's face was not afraid, and he said calmly.

After clearing up the misunderstanding, Dahan also walked into the house happily.

Halfway through, he turned back, looked at the two of them for a while, and said, "The two of you are extraordinary, if you want to make money in the future, you can come to our Dawei Dart Bureau." ”

Big Might Dart Game? Chu Xiao only felt that this name was very familiar, but he couldn't remember it.

Tong Xiang recovered the silver from the thief and did not stay here for long.

After chasing the thief so far, Tong Xiang only felt that his legs were a little weak, and sleepiness gradually swept in.

The two did not stay in the square for long, and hurried all the way back to their home.

The next day, Tong Xiang went to the carpenter to make a signboard.

The name of the pharmacy was also given by her and Chu Xiao casually, called "Xiaoxiang Pharmacy". It doesn't look very serious, but among the old-fashioned pharmacy names, it seems to be easier to remember.

After hanging up the sign and cleaning up the storefront, many people came to buy medicine.

Some of the guests were familiar faces, and at first glance, they knew that they had met them in the medicine hall that day and wanted to come to buy medicine.

Some of the rest, many of them were still wearing official uniforms, and they all came to buy the white flowers of that day, which was probably recommended by the man in green.

Tong Xiang was responsible for dispensing medicine to the guests, and Chu Xiao was cashier on the side, and the two cooperated very tacitly.

In the evening, as the number of customers became scarce, she closed the shop.

When the custom-made bedside arrived, Tong Xiang didn't plan to sleep on the bed, but looked at the store downstairs.

In this way, Chu Xiao will not sleep on the floor every day.

She set up a sleeping chair in the lobby, took a small quilt and was about to go to bed, when she heard someone coming down from the upper floor.

Listening to the steady footsteps, she quickly recognized the person who was coming.

"What's wrong?" She wrapped herself in the quilt and asked curious questions, yawning sleepily.

Chu Xiao stood beside him, he didn't know what he was thinking, he didn't leave.

After a long time, he finally spoke: "You sleep upstairs, I'll guard the store." ”

Seeing that he was talking about this, Tong Xiang smiled. It turned out that he was embarrassed to occupy a room to himself, and let her sleep alone in the chair below.

Sleepiness swept over her like a tidal wave, and she felt like her eyelids were sticking together, and she was speaking more and more slowly.

"It's okay, you can sleep on it, I can sleep comfortably underneath."

She thought that Chu Xiao had gone away, so she didn't speak anymore and prepared to sleep.

Unexpectedly, in the next second, he was picked up by both hands and hugged tightly in his arms.

Because of surprise, Tong Xiang shrank into a ball and curled up in his arms, more like a soft cat.

Her eyes widened, she was completely sleepy, and she couldn't say a word when she looked at Chu Xiao's calm face.

She was actually hugged?

Tong Xiang squeezed his arm in disbelief.

The clear pain told her that it wasn't a dream.

As a dignified killer, she would be picked up by a man like this?

She instinctively wanted to resist, but her body didn't react, but obediently nestled in Chu Xiao's arms.

Maybe it's because I'm sleepy.

Tong Xiang thought so, and calmly leaned his head on his strong chest, but heard a rapid heartbeat.

Dong Dong's heartbeat was like a reckless fawn, hitting her heart one after another.

She raised her hand and touched her face, and felt a hint of heat.

Fortunately, the night was deep enough that neither of them could see each other's expressions clearly.
