Chapter 61: Chicken Soup
"Hello, please settle the account, a total of 11,300 spirit stones." The clerk walked over with some disdain, obviously, because Zhou Wu was dressed very ordinary, and most of the people who entered the Demon Beast Forest were poor monks.
Before Zhou Wu could speak, he heard the sound of someone falling down the stairs behind him, Zhou Wu turned his head to look, only to see Ye Xiuyuan rolling down the stairs.
"Old Ye! Are you performing acrobatics? Zhou Wu rolled his eyes.
Ye Xiuyuan got up from the ground, hurriedly looked around, there were not many people who simply ate, he was not too embarrassed, coughed dryly, looked at the clerk, and asked, "Just now, how many spirit stones did you say we had for this meal?" ”
"Eleven thousand three hundred spirit stones, do you want to pay the bill?" The clerk glanced at the counter, and suddenly four or five monks rushed out and surrounded them.
"Jindan Realm Monk! It's a big deal, it seems that if we don't pay today, we won't be able to get out of this hotel. Zhou Wu smiled helplessly.
"That's right! If you don't pay, don't think about leaving. The clerk said arrogantly.
Zhou Yan sat stupidly and said, "I'm sorry for the trouble I caused you, I don't want this thousand spirit stones." ”
Zhou Wu pushed the storage bag back and said, "You can take this spirit stone, and as for the bill, I can still afford it." ”
After speaking, Zhou Wu took out a storage bag and threw it to the clerk: "Eleven thousand three hundred spirit stones, one is not less, Lao Ye, Zilan, let's go." ”
"Let's go? Where to go on the big night? Ye Xiuyuan hurriedly asked.
"This kind of black shop, if you stay, aren't you afraid that they will eat you?" Zhou Wu said.
"That's right, the more than 100 spirit stones that live in the store should be rewarded to Huazi."
"Phew, a few poor ghosts, do you know that there are people behind our hotel, who want to eat overlord meals here with us, no way."
For this kind of person who looks down on people with dog eyes, when he was on Earth, Zhou Wu saw a lot, and he didn't take it seriously, and walked straight out of the hotel.
"If you don't dislike it, you can live in my house." Zhou Yan said.
"Outside, what else can be picky, let's go." Zhou Wu motioned for Zhou Yan to lead the way.
"Sect Master, then do I still want to go to the Alchemist Guild to find a partner?" Ye Xiuyuan asked.
Zhou Wu said: "That's it, the people in this medicine city, the dog's eyes look down on people, and as far as the cultivation of the three of us is concerned, it is estimated that people will not look down on them." ”
Ye Xiuyuan nodded and said, "That's right, if we team up with others and be controlled by others everywhere, it is better for us to enter the leisure by ourselves." ”
In the slums of Yaocheng, there are dilapidated tents everywhere, the environment is very poor, and domestic garbage and sewage can be seen everywhere, Zhou Yan took the three of them to a tattered tent and said, "Three, this is my home." ”
Yang Zilan looked at the tattered tent, her face changed slightly, and she frowned, but seeing Zhou Wu's expressionless face, she endured it.
"This place is good, it extends in all directions, and you can enjoy the night view of the sky when you sleep at night, not bad, I'll just make a bed here." Ye Xiuyuan pointed to the left side of the tent and said.
"Is Yan'er back?" At this time, an old man's weak voice came from inside the tent.
"Mother, it's me, and a few of my friends." Zhou Yan hurriedly got into the tent.
Zhou Wu frowned, judging from his voice, the old man's life was about to come to an end.
"Since it's a friend, why don't you hurry up and invite in, don't let people stand outside, I'll go and boil some hot water for you." The old man was just about to stand up, and Zhou Wu got in.
"Auntie, don't bother, we've eaten outside, Zhou Yan, you're really, your mother is still hungry, and you won't tell us, Auntie, you wait, I'll make you something to eat."
"You are guests, how can you be embarrassed, Zhou Yan, go and take out all the food in the bar, and I will cook for you." The eldest lady struggled to stand up, and as soon as she got out of bed, she collapsed to the ground, but fortunately, Zhou Wu's eyes were quick, and he hurriedly supported him, and he used his true qi to probe the eldest mother's physical condition, and his face sank.
"The qi and blood are weak, and the five internal organs are damaged, so I'm afraid it will only take three days at most."
"Zhou Yan, you come out with me." Zhou Wu put the eldest lady on the bed and called Zhou Yan out of the tent.
"Zhou Yan, why is your mother's body so weak? Moreover, she has damage to all her internal organs, what is going on? ”
Zhou Yan was silent for a moment, his face was a little painful, he held his head in his hands, squatted on the ground, and his mood was very bad.
Zhou Wu also squatted down, patted Zhou Yan's shoulder, and said, "You and I have the same surname, you tell me honestly, maybe, I have a way to cure your mother?" ”
Zhou Yan hurriedly raised his head, looked at Zhou Wu seriously, and said, "You said you can really cure my mother's illness?" ”
Zhou Wu smiled and said, "I can't be absolutely sure, but I can try." ”
"It's Ruan Yuan, since taking his pill, my mother's body has been getting worse day by day, and, in order to save his life, every month, I have to spend 10,000 spirit stones to buy a pill from him, only by taking the pill, my mother's body will get better."
"What kind of elixir? Is there anything else? ”
"There's another one." Zhou Yan hurriedly handed the pill to Zhou Wu.
Zhou Wu put the pill in the palm of his hand, unfolded his spiritual power, and probed, and gradually, Zhou Wu's face became solemn.
"Among this elixir, it is actually big, and this elixir actually has a drug that is harmful to the body and can be addictive, and the others are all weeds, without any medicinal properties, I didn't expect that in this cultivation realm, there are people who play this kind of illegal thing, phew, it's shameless and obscene."
If you eat too much, you will damage all your five organs, and if you get infected with this thing, you will become addicted and your body will be weak, which is caused by eating too much and consuming too much qi and blood.
"How? Can my mother's illness be cured? Zhou Yan asked expectantly.
Zhou Wu smiled helplessly and said, "It can't be cured, but don't let your mother take this pill in the future, otherwise, even if you keep your name for the time being, it won't be long-term." ”
"Senior, please save my mother, Zhou Yan is willing to be a cow and a horse to repay the kindness of his predecessors." Zhou Yan knelt on the ground with a puff.
Zhou Wu helped Zhou Yan up and said, "I'll do my best, now, let's have a meal for your mother first and replenish your qi and blood." ”
When night fell, outside the tent, Zhou Wu set up an iron pot and lit a bonfire, and suddenly, a large pot of chicken soup was simmering in the iron pot, in order to allow the eldest mother's body to better absorb the nutrients of chicken soup, a chicken, a large pot of water, diluted the energy in the chicken, otherwise the physique of ordinary people could not bear the energy in the chicken at all.
The aroma of chicken soup spread throughout the slums, and all of a sudden, the poor people came in search of the aroma and gathered around the iron pot, and when they saw the broth in the iron pot, they were stunned and swallowed.
"Seniors, these people are all poor people in the slums, and many of them are like my mother, who have to buy pills from Ruan Yuan every month to maintain their lives." Zhou Yan said.
"Sect Master, I've checked, this Ruan Yuan is a third-grade alchemist, belongs to the Alchemist Guild, he has an improper style on weekdays, and specializes in some evil crooked ways, but there is a backer behind him, and the Alchemist Guild doesn't dare to provoke the people behind him." Ye Xiuyuan whispered in Zhou Wu's ear.
Zhou Wu nodded, glanced at the people around him, how many people were thousands, and this was only able to stand up, and there were many sick in bed.
"Lao Ye, I'm going to get some firewood, Zilan, you go buy some food and come back, tonight, I'm going to invite everyone in the slums to have a full meal." Zhou Wu said.
"Yes!" Ye Xiuyuan and Yang Zilan left in response.
"Thank you, senior!" Zhou Yan hurriedly knelt on the ground, grateful.
Seeing this, the other poor people also knelt down towards Zhou Wu one after another, grateful.
"Everyone, please get up quickly, I, Zhou Wu, can't stand everyone's courtesy." Zhou Wu hurriedly beckoned everyone to get up.
"Everyone, hurry up, Brother Zhou is a very good person, tonight, please have dinner." Zhou Yan spoke, and the poor people stood up.
"The chicken soup is ready, Zhou Yan, you arrange to distribute it, no one has a bowl, tell those who haven't been distributed, I'll cook it later, everyone has a share." After speaking, Zhou Wu picked up a bowl of chicken soup and walked towards the eldest mother's tent.
Zhou Yan stood in place excitedly, watching Zhou Wu walk into his tent with chicken soup, his eyes full of worship.
"Don't squeeze, come one by one, everyone has it, if you don't bring a bowl, go back and get the bowl first, Brother Zhou said, if the chicken soup is finished, it will continue to cook, and everyone must be guaranteed to get it." Zhou Yan distributed the chicken soup in an orderly manner.
For the people in the slums, even the monks, it is difficult to have a full meal, because they have been oppressed too much, and their fighting spirit has been exhausted, and many powerful families will make money from the slums, suppress them, and make them do more and more dangerous things with very low pay.
"Auntie, drinking this soup is good for your body." Zhou Wu brought the chicken soup to the eldest lady and fed the eldest lady one bite at a time.
Watching the eldest lady drink the chicken soup, Zhou Wu's heart was even warm, after all, all he could do was let everyone eat a full meal.
"Zhou Wu, thank you, my aunt has a request, please agree to me." After drinking the chicken soup, the eldest lady said softly.
"Auntie, please say, Zhou Wu will do his best."
"Alas, Zhou Yan, this child, not long after he was born, his father ran away, and he can eat this child when he is young, not long ago, I was seriously ill again, and it costs too many spirit stones every month to maintain life, I want to entrust Yan'er to you, you can rest assured, although he can eat very much, he also has a lot of strength, he can help you do things, and he will not eat you in vain."
Zhou Wu smiled and said: "Don't worry, auntie, in fact, your illness is not as serious as you imagined, as for Zhou Yan, as long as I am here, I will have a bite of food for him." ”
"Then I will thank you, as for my illness, I know very well that my body will not last long, thank you for your broth today, this is the best soup I have ever drunk in my life."
In fact, the eldest mother really can't last long, the toxin has entered the bone marrow, even if she can quit drug addiction, she won't live long.
