Jiang Ming walked into Ping'an County, and the streets were much more lively than three years ago, with all kinds of shops, teahouses, workshops, and cloth shops...... There are also many vendors selling meals, bamboo utensils, and wild mushrooms in the open space on the side of the street......

After the war, the Yan Kingdom was like a disease removed, and gradually showed a stronger prosperity than in the past, the emperor reduced taxes, built a granary to help the people, even these villagers in Ping'an County, life is much better.

"It's just a matter of making up for ......"

Jiang Ming sighed, walked to the tavern, walked directly to the second floor, asked for a bright place by the window, ordered wine and food, and ate and drank.

Now that the old ginger has completely retired and become a shopkeeper, Ah Fei has saved some money somewhere, and sent someone to renovate the tavern, and now it has a new atmosphere, and business is booming.

A few tables of drinkers next to him, drinking with red faces and thick necks...... As usual, they are discussing recent current events.

"Wuhou is really a god, the first battle shocked the world, and all the people in the town did not dare to act rashly......"

"Hmph, it's just a slaughtering butcher, unpopular with the people, and sooner or later he will be punished."

"your fart, Wuhou slaughtering the city, it's not easy to kill, but to warn those who have the intention to make trouble......"

", dare to scold Lao Tzu!"

In an instant, the wine bowl and bench flew wildly......

Jiang Ming hurriedly sat on the other side of the table with the wine and food to avoid being splashed with blood.

After a while, the two people who were fighting were thrown out of the tavern by a red-faced man with one hand and a chicken in one hand, which attracted a lot of applause.

The red-faced man turned back to the second floor and sat opposite Jiang Ming: "Brother Ming, I haven't seen you for a long time." ”

"How did you become a tavern thug?" Jiang Ming said with a smile, this person is Wang Dong, Jiang Ming's friend in the same period in Tiger Hunting Village.

Three years have passed, Jiang Ming's strength has also improved to "not entering the stream of martial artists", but Wang Dong still only senses blood qi and has not crossed the threshold of martial artists.

"Just make more money......"

Wang Dong took a big sip of wine and smiled bitterly: "Only after practicing martial arts, do you know how difficult martial arts are, I'm afraid I don't have this talent, and I'm too lazy to go to those big families to be dogs, so I inherited my father's old business, and opened a butcher shop in Ping'an Town, Oh No, Ping'an County......"

"Didn't I marry my mother-in-law last year, and this year the baby is going to be born again, and the family is struggling, so I came to do more errands......"

Wang Dong chattered, Jiang Ming didn't interrupt, and listened silently, this may be the final destination of most martial arts practitioners.

"Hey, in our issue, it seems that only you and Fang Lie are the only ones who have become martial artists now......" Wang Dong suddenly said: "Just a few days ago, Fang Lie's blood strength was running as he wished, and he stepped into the third-rate realm. ”

"Really?" Jiang Ming smiled: "I want to congratulate you when I have time." ”

"People are very busy now, follow Guan Headhunter Shenlong to see the head but not the end......" Wang Dong said in a low voice, his eyes were a little fluttering, as if he was recalling the days when they went up the mountain to hunt tigers together.

Jiang Ming patted him on the shoulder, and asked for two catties of liquor and a few catties of pig's head meat, both of them were drunk and left.

However, Jiang Ming did not go home directly, but turned into a remote pharmacy.

The pharmacy is called Baicaotang, the area is not large, and the location is still biased, but because the medicinal materials are relatively complete, the guests are okay on weekdays.

Seeing Jiang Ming come in, several guests who were buying medicine greeted each other:

"Boss Jiang!"

"Boss Jiang, I haven't seen you for a long time, what good goods are there this time......"

"It's nothing, a few golden worm ginseng, I'll clean it up, you are interested in coming and seeing it another day......" Jiang Ming responded with a smile, this Baicao Hall was opened by him, and now with his background, it is nothing to open a medicine shop, most of the medicinal materials collected on weekdays are thrown here for sale, and then buy some medicinal materials from other medicine pickers, but they can also have some income.

"Let's go drink again!" Zhou Wenxiu sent these guests away, walked out from behind the counter, and stared at Jiang Ming dissatisfied.

"Hehe, hey, hey, hey......" Jiang Ming hurriedly poured out the medicinal materials in the medicine basket, turned his head and ran: "I'll go home first." ”

……

In the early morning of the next day, Jiang Ming stood in his small courtyard, practicing a set of simple boxing techniques and moving his body.

"Wow, Brother Jiang Ming, you're back!"

Outside the fence, in the small courtyard next door, there was a sudden exclamation.

Jiang Ming turned his head to look, and saw a little girl who was not much taller than Bai Siye, who was jumping over, holding a small porcelain bowl with a missing corner in her hand, filled with fried golden butter and shiny monkeys.

The little girl was only three or four years old, and her washed white coarse cloth clothes were stained with mud, and her round little face was greasy like a flower cat.

"Tian An'an, you're playing with mud again!" Jiang Ming grabbed the hem of the little girl's clothes and pointed to the mud spots on it: "Wait a while, your mother will come back and beat her!" ”

"Scared ......" the little girl looked down and was shocked: "I didn't play with mud, this is not my clothes......"

Jiang Ming was almost choked, as soon as I went out just now, I saw a little bit squatting in a rain puddle and treading water, is it a ghost?

Tian Anan forgot about it in an instant, wiped a handful of snot bubbles, and skillfully put a monkey into his mouth, chewed it creakingly, and stretched the small bowl to this side: "Brother Jiang Ming, eat!" ”

"Okay, I haven't seen you in half a month...... Jiang Ming Yile was about to reach out to take it, but Tian Anan hurriedly retracted his hand, didn't speak, and stared at him with big round eyes.

As if to say, have you forgotten something?

Jiang Ming was speechless, and praised ......

He turned back into the house and pulled out a light red peach blossom stone from the bottom of the medicine basket, and the surface of the stone was covered with peach blossom-like spots, like sprinkled petals, which was very beautiful.

"Change two monkeys!" Jiang Ming grasped the stone tightly and handed it over vigilantly.

In fact, every time he goes down the mountain, he will bring a beautiful little stone to this little girl, but why give it for nothing if he can trade?

Tian Anan happily took the stone, and his two big eyes narrowed into a line with a smile before handing out the porcelain bowl.

"It's all your stinking saliva!" Jiang Ming unceremoniously grabbed two of them and threw them into his mouth, and by the way, he verbally attacked this little kid who saw the "stone" eye.

"You stink, you stink!" Tian Anan fought back mercilessly, concentrating on playing with the little stone.

Jiang Ming glanced at the porcelain bowl on the ground on the side, and quickly picked up another one and threw it into his mouth.

Tian Anan exclaimed, threw the small stone into the small bowl, turned his head around and ran away with the small porcelain bowl, ran back to the house with a smoke, and poked out half of his head to take a look, did Jiang Ming follow up and rob her......

Jiang Ming smiled, chewed in his mouth, and walked towards Baicaotang.

Zhou Wenxiu had already opened the door and was sorting out the medicinal materials, Jiang Ming was familiar with the bamboo chair in the inner hall, and he had some experience of the life of Dr. Sun of Jishitang, which was quite comfortable......

"Shopkeeper, buy medicine!"

Suddenly, a man with a hat and a somewhat unclear face walked into the pharmacy and said in a deep voice.

Jiang Ming didn't take it seriously, and sent Zhou Wenxiu to sell medicine, there are too many people who hide their identities to buy things, everyone has a bit of an unsightly secret, and he is too lazy to care.

But then, the few medicinal herbs that this person said made Jiang Ming suddenly unable to sit still.

"Mountain longan, snake flower grass roots, cicada molt, dried leeches, nine-spice insect ......"

Jiang Ming's memory suddenly returned to the prescription from Huang Lao Ghost when he first crossed this realm, which was the beginning of everything......
