Chapter 16, The Great Defeat

and Gao Yao, Fang Rui's footsteps did not stop.

Gao Yao did guess wrong, he didn't want to get away with it, and he didn't have the idea of wanting to get the inheritance of Feng Shui.

- Anyway, I can't use it now, and I won't use it to boost it in a short period of time.

If it's cheap, it's best to save it; If you can't, look for another chance later!

He is an immortal, he has time, and the last thing he lacks is patience.

I rented a stall, returned to my old business, and sold finished medicine kits by myself.

Business?

Not bad.

Fang Rui estimated that after a month, there should be a profit of a little more than two taels of silver.

Although it is much less than cooperating with Gao, perhaps Gaoyao has recently made a reputation as the 'originator of finished medicine', which is still better than at the beginning.

A quarter of an hour later.

Fang Rui put away the unsold medicine bag and went to buy fifty catties of sorghum noodles, and on the way, he was lucky enough to meet a soybean seller and bought a catty.

Subsequently.

He was about to leave the black market, but was stopped by a familiar figure.

"Master Fang, I can find you!"

Gao Yao licked his face: "That...... After you left, I thought about it and thought it should be adult beauty. Depending on you, for one or two silver, the inheritance of feng shui will be sold! ”

Fang Yao glanced at it lightly: "Wouldn't it be good to do this earlier?" Why bother! ”

He doesn't have to be angry and say something don't.

As an immortal, as long as you have patience and are willing to search, there will always be a chance to get it in the future.

However, if this year passes, even if you encounter a suitable door, the price will definitely be much higher, and you can't beat it for three or five taels, and it is possible to ...... In addition to that, you have to worry about the authenticity of things.

Compared with that, isn't it fragrant to be in the bag early now?

Gao Yao was not embarrassed, his face was quite thick-skinned, as if he hadn't heard it, and there was only one thing he cared about: "That's okay, one or two silver, you can't change the hexagram!" ”

"Heh, don't worry."

Fang Rui now, as the party that occupies the initiative, he has not reversed course.

One, even if you can talk about it, if you reach the sky, you will cut down another twenty big bucks...... This amount of money is not worth taking on credibility, plus it takes a lot of saliva and wastes time and energy.

Second, his blow to Gao Yao today is fierce enough, this person is shrewd and philistine, but if he bargains again and arouses the other party's rebellious mentality, there will be unnecessary variables.

It's still the same sentence: for him, it is absolutely not a loss for one or two pieces of silver to buy a future 'supernatural power seed'.

The two handed over the money with one hand and delivered the goods with the other, and completed the transaction neatly and separated.

Get out of the black market.

Fang Rui made a detour, and after walking a distance, he suddenly came out of an alley, looking behind, there was no human figure.

"No surprises!" His voice was faint.

"That's right, after that kind of breakthrough, things will immediately find you, and what makes people pretend to be forced only exists in novels."

"But this is the reality, how can it be so coincidental?"

Fang Rui shook his head, sped up, and hurried towards his home.

He hadn't forgotten that at home, Fang Xue's family was still waiting for him!

……

Fang family.

The candle flame flickered, and the little light was like a firefly out of the window, blooming a little warmth in the cool night, guiding the wanderer to return home.

Squeak!

Fang Xue opened the door and greeted Fang Rui who returned: "Brother Rui, are you back?" It's early tonight! ”

"I'm back."

Fang Rui replied with a smile.

I have to say that this feeling of someone waiting and waiting is really peaceful.

As for coming back earlier than usual tonight?

Naturally, it was because: he only sold more than half of the finished medicine, so he estimated the time, hurriedly closed the stall, and came back early.

After all, Fang Rui didn't know in advance that he would break up with Gao Yao tonight, and he hadn't mentioned this matter to Fang Xue's clan before he set off, for fear that it would be too late to come back, which would make Fang Xue's family worried.

Of course, he didn't say anything about these considerations.

Because Fang Rui knew that if he said it, Fang Xue would think that he had let him delay things, and he would blame himself and feel guilty.

- Just like: Fang Xue never said: every night Fang Rui goes out, how worried she is.

"That's right,"

Fang Rui talked about breaking up with Gao: "...... In my opinion, that person is not a stable person, and he is afraid that he will cause some trouble in the future and implicate him, so he will take the opportunity to break off. ”

"Yes, it's not a good person, so I broke off contact as soon as possible, our family is safe, better than anything else!"

Fang Xue understood very well and supported Fang Rui's approach.

"Yes, peace and security, better than anything else."

Fang Rui repeated it and said with a wry smile: "It's just that after the cooperation was broken, the profits of the finished drug business were greatly reduced, and my mother and sister had to live a hard life with me." ”

The profit of the finished medicine has shrunk, he has broken through the seven grades, the amount of food has increased again, and he has to store grain...... The key is: the cost of buying the inheritance of two taels of silver......

All kinds of factors are combined, and the Fang family is really going to return to the days when sorghum noodles were the staple food.

"Silly boy!"

Fang Xue shook his head with a smile: "As long as you and Ling'er are safe, my mother will not be bitter." ”

Hearing this, Fang Rui's heart warmed.

He thought to himself: he was not an emotionally sensitive person, but at this time he was touched by these simple words.

Fang Xue didn't notice Fang Rui's reaction, he wrenched his fingers and calculated: "Our family has a lot of grain in stock, more than a thousand catties!" Eat with you first, it's okay for me and Ling'er to eat less......"

"If it doesn't work anymore, replace it all with wheat bran...... That's how everyone else lives......"

"Mother, you're thinking too much."

Fang Rui shook his head: "It's far from that...... In any case, the sorghum flour tube is still more than enough, and occasionally, it can also improve the food. ”

With more than two taels of silver in a month, raising a family of three, even if he is a big stomach, it will not reach that level, and he is still a handful of the top 20% of families in Changshan County.

As he spoke, Fang Xue had already brought hot water from the kitchen.

"Thank you, mother. It's not too early, so you should rest early! ”

Fang Rui washed his feet, wiped his body, and went back to the house.

Fang Ling, this girl, still hasn't slept in his house today-in recent days, she has developed a habit that whenever Fang Rui goes to the black market at night, she runs to Fang Xue's house and sleeps with Fang Xue's family.

The candle flame flickered.

Fang Rui took out the feng shui inheritance from Gao Yao by the faint light, on the rough papyrus, the handwriting was scribbled, and on the cover was the six big characters of "Zhou's Feng Shui Kanyu".

After reading through it, it was included in the panel.

Panel:

[Name: Fang Rui]

[Robbery: 3]

[Exercises: Self-cultivation (already small)]

[Realm: Seven Grades (Forging Bones)]

[Skills: Fang's Medical Technique (Proficient), Animal Taming (Not Started), Feng Shui (Not Started)]

[Divine Power: Immortality (Gray)]

……

"Feng Shui? Another 'supernatural seed'! ”

"However, again, it's far from the time to improve, just like "Animal Taming", let's put it for now!"

Fang Rui was in a good mood, stretched his waist, and fell asleep in the summer night's insect hiss.

……

The next day, early in the morning.

Fang's breakfast: sorghum batter, accompanied by a bowl of stir-fried wild vegetables.

Quite rudimentary.

But in this year, in the eyes of most of the neighbors, it is extremely rich.

"Today's food is not as delicious as before." Fang Ling took a bite and said like this.

"Oh?"

Fang Rui took a pair of chopsticks, tasted them, and felt that the taste was bland: "Mother, are you not oiling?" ”

"Let it go!"

Fang Xueshi paused and reacted: "Brother Rui, the lard you gave me that time was used up yesterday, and I stir-fried this morning, and I put hemp seed oil." ”

"How can I say ......"

Fang Rui nodded: "It seems that if you want to think about it, you can get some more lard." ”

Hearing this, Fang Ling nodded vigorously on the side.

Then, he was knocked on the door of the head with a chopstick.

"You girl, you have a bad mouth, right?"

Fang Xue said sharply to Fang Rui: "Lard is expensive, a can costs a lot of money, Brother Rui, don't get used to her." ”

"How can this be used to?"

Fang Rui shook his head and smiled: "It's just normal nutrition...... Besides, I have another breakthrough in martial arts, and I also need oil and water...... If there is oil and water in the stomach, the food will be relatively small, and the people will have energy......"

While speaking, he sighed in his heart that this world is not easy.

In the previous life, there was an abundance of materials, milk was poured everywhere, leftovers were piled up, and a lot of waste was wasted...... In this world, even a piece of lard is a rare luxury.

The breakfast ended in small talk.

Although the taste of fried vegetables in hemp seed oil is indeed not as good as lard, the Fang family has lived a hard life and cherishes food very much, even Fang Ling, who is often said by Fang Xue's 'the most tricky', eats the wild vegetables and porridge bowls cleanly, and the light can be seen.

A big pot of porridge, Fang Xue and Fang Ling only ate one bowl of porridge, and the rest was eaten by Fang Rui, even so, it was still a little reluctant.

Martial artists need high-energy food, no oil and water, and usually have to eat a few ordinary people's portions to barely provide what the body needs.

Even if you supplement the quality with quantity, it is not very comfortable, and I feel uncomfortable.

Who knows: the other seven-rank martial artists are all good at eating and drinking to nourish their bodies, that is, Fang Rui is special, and he forcibly improves his ...... with luck points After the breakthrough, a large amount of coarse grains are provided for the body, which is also very reluctant, and it is naturally uncomfortable.

"It is easy to go from thrift to luxury, and it is difficult to go from luxury to thrift."

Fang Rui sighed: "It's not okay to go on like this, you still have to think about it, get some lard!" ”

In the black market, pork fat is relatively rarer than scarce goods such as meat and soybeans, and the price is very high, and every time it appears, it will cause a rush.

"Think of a way to make more money!"

"Some businesses make money, but they can't do it; Some businesses can be done, but they are not profitable. ”

Fang Rui thought about it, and his best choice turned out to be a finished medicine.

"This is already a last resort, it's just that, when the luck point is enough, let's improve our medical skills and develop a new formula for finished medicine!"

"At that time, the profit will inevitably increase greatly, and it may reach seven or eight taels of silver a month."

"It just so happens that I have broken through the seventh grade now, and in the black market, I can also expose the realm of the eighth grade...... In that way, even if it is ten taels of silver a month, or even fifteen taels of profit, it can be sheltered. ”

After Fang Rui broke through the seventh rank, although he didn't have the opportunity to make a move for the time being, he had great strength, courage and greater ambition.

Of course, his pursuit of a safe heart has never changed.

It's still the same sentence: you have ten points of strength, only show seven points, do three points, and have the strength to turn the tables in case of accidents.

……

In the afternoon, Fang Xue and Fang Ling took a nap in the back room.

Fang Rui stayed outside the hall.

The afternoon sun poured in through the window like broken gold, falling on the antique medicine cabinet, and the extremely fine light dust flew in the air, and the fragrance of herbs also spread more and more in this warmth.

Whoa!

Fang Rui was holding a medical book in his hand, and he couldn't release it.

The improvement of the luck points and skills is also related to his own proficiency, and if he works hard, the number of luck points required will be reduced accordingly.

Fang Rui was fascinated.

Knock knock!

In the knock on the door, the door of the empty 'Caozhitang' was knocked open directly, and the person who came was a beautiful and charming third lady in a skirt.

"Third sister?" Fang Rui got up.

"Brother Rui, where is your mother? Well, it's the same thing as you say. ”

The third lady didn't sell it, and directly said the news: "...... A month ago, the officers and troops who went out of the city to exterminate the Taiping thieves first won a small victory, and then fell into an ambush, and the whole army was wiped out...... The county was shocked three times a day, and the county was furious...... If it weren't for the reserves, I don't know what would have happened now! ”

"Now that I think about it, when the county reserve army went out of the city, I am afraid that I also found some signs...... Alas, by now, it is completely impossible to cover it. ”

"Then my dad ......"

Fang Rui's heart jumped.

Since the time since he crossed over, Fang Baicao has not spent much time with him, but the other party resolutely joined the army instead of him, and he is grateful and respectful in his heart......

In his heart, he was extremely reluctant to have an accident with Fang Baicao.

"Your father has his own natural appearance, and he is also a physician and a martial artist, even if the army is defeated, it will definitely be fine."

The third lady comforted.

She was also worried in her heart, the previous batch of officers and soldiers who suppressed thieves were defeated, what about the reserve army? Who can guarantee that nothing will go wrong?

And the head of the army she backed was in the reserve.

'What if......

The third lady thought of this, and her heart was full of chuckles.

It's not that she likes the military leader very much, but: if the other party falls, how can she, a woman's family, resist the malice of the outside world in this world?

When the time comes, who will I rely on? ’

The third lady subconsciously glanced at Fang Rui: 'Take a look, take a look again......

……

The third lady said the news, sold the favor, and left in a hurry.

"Brother Rui,"

Fang Xue came out of the back room: "I just seem to have heard the voice of the third girl, what is the matter with her?" We have a good relationship between the two families, and if we can help with something, we still have to help......"

Fang Rui hesitated for a moment and told the news brought by the third lady.

This is ...... It's not easy to hide, the point is: it will spread soon, and it can't be hidden.

"Your dad ...... him"

When Fang Xue heard this, he staggered under his feet, and his face suddenly turned pale.

Tragic things happen to others, always like scratching the itch in the boots, the feeling is not real, only when misfortune befalls on one's head, will you really empathize.

For example, the old Chu family and the Wang family, when the incident happened, Fang Xue's family also sympathized, but to say how sad it was, it was also false.

Now I heard that it was about Fang Baicao, it was different, it was about my own body, and it hurt my skin, and I suddenly heard that she did have the feeling of five thunders.

"Mother!"

Fang Rui hurriedly hugged Fang Xue's family, and took out a set of words from the third lady to comfort her to comfort her: "...... Dad is a physician, and he goes out with the army, usually in the rear army, and even if the army is defeated, it is much safer than others...... Moreover, my father is a martial artist......"

"I know, I know ......"

Fang Xue smiled reluctantly.

If it was just her, of course she would cry and vent.

But there are also Fang Rui and Fang Ling, she is the mother of two children, as the only adult in the Fang family, she needs to set an example, and she can't mess up every inch - at least, she can't mess up in front of the children.

Therefore, she endured her grief and pretended to be nothing.

Women are weak, but mothers are strong!

Call!

Fang Rui breathed a sigh of relief, Fang Xue's reaction was better than he expected.

Ask: Isn't he grieved?

Sadness.

But compared to Fang Xue's clan, it was much less, after all, he had crossed over and spent relatively little time with Fang Baicao.

However, Fang Rui recognized Fang Baicao and hoped that the other party would be safe, which was also true.

And most importantly......

He knew that grief would not help, and that what he should think about now was to deal with the chaos that followed.

Fang Xue also thought of it: "Brother Rui, you say, do we want to go out and buy some more food now?" ”

Fang Rui thought about it seriously and refused: "Mother, if our family can think of it, others can also think of it, even if we go out to buy it at this time, we shouldn't be able to buy much food." ”

"Moreover, after the news spread, it must be a mess outside, a mess, and it is very unsafe...... It's not time to go out! ”

"Also, we have already stored a lot of food, so we won't risk it at this time."

Fang Xue thought for a while, and dispelled the idea of going out to buy food, turned around and went into the back room, woke up Fang Ling, who was taking a nap, and told this girl to stay at home and not go out and run around.
