'One set before the man, one set after the other!' But I don't have anything to do with this high priest, why does he hate me? ’

'Oh, I really want to say, in fact, there is, I didn't promise this person's cooperation with the finished medicine, and I didn't help last time...... So, this is a grudge? ’

'But it's love to help, isn't it duty not to help?' That's really ...... Where do you start?! ’

Fang Rui's eyes were complicated, and he turned into a cold glow: "You want to be a goujian, but I'm not a husband!" ’

This poisonous snake must be eliminated as soon as possible, or it will bite me if it finds an opportunity one day...... How could I possibly allow that to happen?! ’

He thought of the last time, when Gao Yao faced Cao She's ruthlessness in seeking survival in death, he immediately made up his mind: "This matter is sooner rather than later, today, I will intercept and kill this bureaucracy." ’

As for the eradication of grass and roots with just one face and a mouthful of spittle, will there be some sloppiness?

Of course not!

'I'm not Di Gong, what evidence do you say?' Freedom of mind is all you need! Besides, Gao Yao is not a good person......

For this kind of wicked person who is a great threat, I have always been: I would rather kill the wrong person than let it go! ’

Fang Rui looked at the back of Gao Yao in the distance, his eyes narrowed, and under the masked Ge cloth, a harmless and gentle smile appeared on his face.

"Stallholder, here are two packets of 'scar removal cream'!"

"Hey, here we are."

Fang Rui came back to his senses, as if nothing had happened, and continued to do business.

……

Because of its fame, business is particularly hot today.

However, Fang Rui's supply this time is larger, and if you really calculate it, the sales time will take longer than before.

This is also what he did on purpose.

In addition to purchasing some in-demand food, keeping an eye on horses and caravans, I also have to stock up on a batch of medicinal herbs...... And if you sell the medicine bag, you will be rich! ’

Just by taking advantage of the deterrence of Zhou Changlin and Qualcomm and his gang, as well as borrowing a trace of Yuan Da's residual power, he increased shipments and made more money! ’

In Changshan County, these days, not only the price of grain, but also the price of other things is soaring, such as: medicinal materials.

The procurement channel of 'Caozhitang' is an old relationship that has been continued from Fang Baicao, and after decades of friendship, there is no price on the ground, but the tide is rising, and it must be according to the market situation, isn't it?

Medicinal herbs and grain, most of these materials are transported from other counties and even prefectures...... The outside is not very peaceful, and it costs to explore new safe routes and hire more guards.

The cost has gone up, how can the selling price not rise?

If the chaos continues, not only will the price of food continue to rise, but the price of medicinal materials will also continue to rise. ’

Fang Rui talked to Fang Xue about this, and told her that because she prepared more medicine packets, she might sell them for a longer time and go back later.

Therefore, I didn't worry about intercepting and killing a high-ranking important by the way, it was too late to go back, which made Fang Xue and Fang Ling too worried.

After a stick of incense.

All the medicine packs were sold out, but it was earlier than Fang Rui estimated.

Today.

He was not in a hurry to leave as before, but wandered around the black market for a while, in addition to buying two catties of eggs and three catties of soybeans, he also accidentally encountered a jar of honey, and successfully grabbed it by bidding with second-hand dealers.

It wasn't until I estimated that the hour was almost up that I left the black market leisurely.

……

Outside the black market exit.

In a gloomy corner, Fang Rui stared into the distance, looking at the sparse figure coming out of the black market.

"When I came, it was about 11 o'clock in the evening, which was the hottest time for the black market, and after that, the flow of people in the black market was actually declining."

"The black market closes around midnight. Now, it's the third quarter of the first month of the year (11:45 p.m.), and black market patrolmen like Gao Yao probably left one after another around this time......"

Fang Rui waited intently, passing over the figures, searching for Gao Yao.

But until a quarter of an hour later, when the black market was about to be cleared, the familiar figure was still not guarded!

"What's going on? Could it be that Gao Yao hasn't come out yet? It's unlikely! ”

Fang Rui muttered to himself, thought for a while, took out the rags that filled his body, instantly made his body slim a lot, and then returned to the black market.

After a while, he came out of the black market, with a hint of evil on his brow.

- He spent a lot of money to inquire and learned: Gao Yao this person, and left before half a cup of tea!

"You let this guy slip?!"

Fang Rui's eyes flashed, and while he was slightly angry in his heart, he was more puzzled: "How did this high-ranking person slip out under my nose?" ”

"Change body shape like me? No, he originally looked tall and thin, and no matter how thin he was, he would be skinny, and I would definitely pay special attention to someone with special signs like that......"

"Fat? It's impossible, I played this hand myself, and people who are about the same size as tall have paid attention, but they still missed the ......"

Fang Rui's eyes flickered, thinking of Cao Snake a few days ago, the other party didn't seem to be able to block Gao Yao, so he had no choice but to take risks in the black market, which gave Gao Yao a desperate chance to turn around.

"Tall and skinny, tall and skinny......"

He muttered, a flash of inspiration flashed in his mind: "Could it be that this person is tall, there is a problem with his height?!" ”

Fang Rui recalled his previous meetings with Gao Yao in self-study, and this attention found that Gao Yao was indeed a little incongruous in his actions!

"I used to think that the other party was born with a defect or a foot injury, but now it seems that it is not so simple."

"That's it, wait for tomorrow to verify."

Yes, it's tomorrow, Fang Rui can't even wait for the next time, three days later, to sell the medicine pack, and decided to come to the black market tomorrow, just to get rid of Gao Yao!

"A poisonous snake like Gao Yao, if you let it go for a day, you will be in danger of letting it go for a day, so it is prudent to get rid of it as soon as possible."

"Of course, that's tomorrow...... Now, let's go back as soon as possible, mother, Ling'er, I'm afraid it's time to wait. ”

Since he had missed the high point, Fang Rui did not stay any longer, left the black market, and after checking that no one was following, he galloped all the way back home.

……

Back in Liushu Hutong, Jiang Ping'an and another official were still guarding here.

"Brother Jiang, I'm sorry, something happened, I came back late, and I bothered the two of you." Fang Rui sued again and again.

"Little thing, how are you, no one is hurt, right?" Jiang Ping'an knows that the black market is not peaceful.

"It's fine."

Fang Rui chatted with Jiang Ping'an for a few words, and then gave the other official some big money as usual, said goodbye to the two, and hurriedly returned.

Home.

After releasing Fang Xue and Fang Ling from the cellar, sure enough, they had already begun to worry, and came over to check Fang Rui and found that they were not injured, so they breathed a sigh of relief.

Back in the house, Fang Rui took out eggs, soybeans, and honey, Fang Xue and Fang Ling were very happy, diluting the somewhat depressed atmosphere before.

Leave that to mention.

After washing, they slept peacefully.

The night went by like this.

……

Early the next morning.

Fang Rui woke up early, didn't wake up Fang Ling, and went out of the house lightly, and found that Fang Xue's family, who had already gotten up at this time, hadn't gotten up today.

Also, I was a little late last night, and I was nervous, and I was relaxed at first glance, and I inevitably got up a little later. ’

On the contrary, Fang Rui, since he entered the product, as long as he wants, he can easily enter a deep sleep, it seems that he doesn't sleep for a long time every day, and he doesn't even take a nap, but he is still full of energy.

Fang Rui didn't wake up Fang Xue, just let her sleep more and make breakfast by herself.

"Mother, Ling'er, last night I was worried and then happy, and my heart was relaxed...... This morning, it's time to supplement some nutrients and eat a good ......."

Fang Rui took out the jar of honey he bought last night, boiled two poached eggs with honey water, and heated some stick noodles.

When it was almost done, Fang Xue and Fang Ling also got up one after another.

Then.

It was dawn, and a faint mist was shrouded outside the door. The morning is slightly cool, the sky is red and the sun is dewing, and the light splashes ink in the clear sky, crossing thousands of rivers and mountains, passing through the window with hazy water vapor, creating a beautiful light and shadow.

On the table, in three clay bowls, poached eggs with light orange honey water are white and orange, and the stick noodles are steaming in a small basin in the center.

"Wow! Wow! Poached egg! Fang Ling, who was originally sleepy-eyed, suddenly woke up when he saw the table, and his little face was full of surprise.

In her memory, since she was a child, she had never eaten poached eggs a few times, and it seemed that she was ...... Less than eating meat.

"Too ......"

I wanted to say that Fang Rui was 'too extravagant', but I remembered the promise a few days ago that 'I don't eat too frugally', so I swallowed it again, pinched my waist with both hands and looked at Fang Ling next to me, and said angrily: "Why don't you go wash your face soon?" ”

"Oooh!" Fang Ling was so frightened that his neck shrunk, and he didn't dare to touch his head, so he hurriedly went like a quail.

Not long after.

The three of them sat down around the table and enjoyed a hearty breakfast.

"Uh-huh......"

Fang Ling smacked the honey water, took a small bite of the poached egg from time to time, and ate it with great cherishment.

Maybe it's such a sweet tooth, which is very suitable for the taste of the little girl, her big watery eyes have narrowed into crescents, and the slightly baby fat face has two shallow dimples recently.

"It's better than meat, no, it's as delicious as meat......" Fang Ling's face was full of happiness and said vaguely.

"Where is this?!"

Fang Rui smiled and touched the little girl's head: "Follow my brother, I will have you to eat delicacies from the mountains and seas in the future......"

"Jing Hu said, what kind of delicacies do we eat? That's only for dignitaries and nobles! Fang Xue smiled on the side, disbelieving.

Fang Rui smiled without saying a word, and did not explain.

I live forever, this goal ...... Even for the traverser, if it is not the protagonist's aura, it is almost impossible to achieve it even if it is not the protagonist's aura.

But, just let the family live a better life? But it's not difficult.

Fang Rui is not arrogant, but if he doesn't even have this self-confidence, it would be too hypocritical.

Chatting while eating, gossiping about parents.

Fang Xue suddenly said something: "Xiao Chu is dead...... After leaving our willow alley, Xiao Chu became a beggar, and that day, he was killed by competing with other beggars for the swill of large families...... It was also your Uncle Changlin who went out to buy something, looked familiar, and took a look at it before he recognized it......"

"That's a ......"

Fang Rui was stunned and was speechless for a long time.

He thought about it: his fate is as ill-fated as Xiao Chu, he may go into exile from the city, join the rebel army, come to the sunrise to get ahead, and collect debts from the tiger master...... But after all, I didn't expect it to end like this.

'Also, the family is ruined, the superior accepts the apprentices, and takes revenge; The divorced concubine was a blockbuster, rising and slapping his face; The beauty is wronged, she has to meet the blue sky, and she is wronged...... This kind of plot can only exist in a novel. ’

Reality, how is it possible?!

really starts like that, in reality, the end of nine out of nine is: after the family is ruined, he becomes a beggar, and dies of starvation on the street; After the divorce, the concubine is still mediocre and depressed for life; The beautiful woman shouted that there was no way out, but she was ravaged by blows, and the wicked got away with it......

It is precisely because I can't ask for it that I pinned my hopes on utopia, compiled into a book, and was sought after and hoped for by the world! ’

Fang Rui sighed in his heart.

This was also the last time he heard from Xiao Chu.

Seeing Fang Rui's silence, as if he was sad, Fang Xue changed the topic: "By the way, yesterday, Sanniang seemed to be sick......

"Sick?!"

Hearing this, Fang Rui put down his chopsticks and narrowed his eyes.

In addition to worrying about the three ladies, there are also ......

Recently, the drought has continued, and the chaos has become worse, but he is especially wary of the word 'sick', because, in the history of previous lives, catastrophes were often accompanied by pandemics!

"It's not serious, is it? What are the symptoms? Our alley, is there anything similar? Fang Rui asked.

"This, I don't know very well, listening to Nannan, it seems to be a stomachache...... In our alley, it seems that I haven't heard of similar ......."

Fang Xue saw Fang Rui's solemn expression, and was also afraid that his answer would mislead Fang Rui, so he replied cautiously.

"Well, after dinner, I'll go and have a look!"

Fang Rui thought for a moment and advised, "Mother, Ling'er, don't go out if you don't have to...... Even other neighbors, try to minimize contact with ......"

"Got it."

Seeing that Fang Rui was serious, Fang Xue and Fang Ling both nodded seriously and agreed.

……

Meal.

Fang Rui came to Sanniang's house and found that in front of the table, only Nan Nan was sitting alone eating, and the little girl was still a little short in height compared to the chair, and she was swaying her legs while eating.

He glanced at it, and the breakfast was: sorghum batter, sorghum bread.

It's not good, but it's definitely not bad compared to other people in Willow Hutong.

"Where's your mother?" Fang Rui came to the table, squatted down, pinched her little face and asked.

"Brother Ari?!"

Nan Nan swallowed some sorghum batter, jumped down from the chair, and said like a little adult: "Brother Rui, have you eaten?" Shall I serve you a bowl? ”

As she spoke, she turned her head to look at the middle of the house, and whispered again: "My mother said that she was not feeling well, and she cooked for me, but she didn't eat, so she went back to the house again!" Brother Rui, you can heal the disease, you have eaten, can you help your mother take a look! ”

'Good fellow, white touched me! ’

Fang Rui touched the top of Nannan's head funny, and joked: "Even if I don't eat, I will help your mother see a doctor...... I came this time because I heard that your mother was sick, so I came to see ......."

"Okay, Brother Rui, come with me!"

Nan Nan took Fang Rui's hand and ran towards the back room.

Squeak!

Entering the door, Fang Rui saw: in the separated Gebu mosquito net, the third lady was lying on the bed, frowning slightly, like a sick and weak Xizi, the light and thin clothes outlined the delicate figure, and the white wrists were exposed outside the quilt.

……
