Rejuvenation Hall, Front Hall.

Yang Jiao sorted out the medicinal materials in an orderly manner, and Jiu Yao lay leisurely opposite him.

On the other side, Lao Mu counted the family with pockmarks and skewers.

The three of them sat around a wooden table with ledgers and four piles of money.

The old wood pointed to the silver money next to each other:

"This part is the herbs needed to buy the medical hall, and it can't be saved, this part is the rent, and it can't be saved, and this part is our chewing."

He paused for a moment, picked up a silver coin, put it in the fourth pile of silver coins, and preached to Mazi:

"It really can't be less."

Mazi stared blankly at the fourth pile of silver coins, and his face was gloomy.

Lao Mu also stared at the fourth pile of silver coins, and sighed:

"It's still not enough, the butcher has a lot of dowry, and we really can't come up with extra money."

The skewers on the side were surprised:

"Does it cost so much money to marry a daughter-in-law, women's affairs are too troublesome."

When he saw Mazi bowing his head and not speaking, he immediately reacted and said with a dry smile:

"It's okay, Asako, I'll ask you for a drink."

When Mazi heard this, he couldn't help but look at Lao Mu.

"Go ahead."

When the string heard Lao Mu's consent, he reached out and grabbed the fourth pile of silver coins, and was immediately beaten back by Lao Mu.

Seeing this, the skewers were full of helplessness, thinking in their hearts that it seemed that they were going to use the private money they had secretly saved.

When he pulled the pockmarks out of the door, Lao Mu began to calculate in a low voice:

"Mazi's marriage has to wait for another two years."

Yang Jiao and Jiu Yao were both deaf and clear-sighted, so of course they heard their conversation.

Outside Qingshui Town, from north to south, the mountains are continuous, the terrain is treacherous, and it becomes a natural barrier.

After the destruction of Chenrong Kingdom, Chenrong Hongjiang, who refused to surrender, led tens of thousands of remnants of the army to occupy the east of Qingshui Town and confront Xiyan.

Qingshui Town is bordered by Xiyan in the west, Haoling in the south, and Chenrong remnants in the east, so it has gradually become a place where the three forces are mixed, but none of the three forces can control it.

The Rejuvenation Hall is a small medical hall located in the west of Qingshui Town, where the fittest survive.

As the front line of frequent wars between several countries, after the destruction of the Tatsuei Kingdom, after hundreds of years of development, the competition between foundries and physicians was particularly fierce.

The former protects himself, and the latter saves his life, which makes the iron shop and medical hall in Qingshui Town especially difficult to open.

Lao Mu, as a deserter from Xiyan, is also a low-level god clan, and he has some spiritual power in his body, and because of his identity, Jiu Yao also exposes his general medical skills, plus he has a unique skill, which can send his son to a safe pregnancy.

As a result, the big medical hall existing in Qingshui Town disdained to snatch the business of the Spring Hall, and it also made Jiu Yao and the others barely make a living.

At this time, Yang Jiao raised his eyes and saw the different color in Jiu Yao's eyes.

understands that although she doesn't care about it, she has a plan in her heart and wants to raise money.

Because he is familiar with the original plot, he understands that Jiu Yao seems to be too selfish, and what he loves most is himself.

I often say that I should be less nosy, worry less, and live a long life and be happy.

In fact, after going through hardships, there is still compassion in my heart.

Doesn't she know that saving a person like herself, who is covered in bruises and of unknown origin, is the biggest meddling.

It's to cause her trouble, and even if you do so, it will also bury a huge hidden danger.

There are also old trees that were taken in before, and hemp seeds and skewers were adopted, not all of which caused trouble to themselves, so how could there be any escape.

Thinking of this, Yang Jiao sighed lightly in his heart:

"Well, it's just time to go to the event to move your muscles."

The next day, before dawn.

Rejuvenation Hall, backyard.

Jiu Yao packed up a back basket that could shelter her from the sun and rain, and Lao Mu suddenly appeared behind her:

"Little Liu, what are you?"

Before Jiu Yao could answer, he was the first to guess:

"You're not going to go into the mountains to collect medicine, are you?"

Jiu Yao said in a low voice:

"This string of marriages can wait a little longer, Mazi's marriage really can't wait any longer, we can't let Mazi's daughter-in-law run away because of a few dollars."

"Besides, if I can dig up two or three spiritual grasses, not only will Mazi's marriage be solved, but also the marriage of Kushiko will not have to worry."

Lao Mu looked worried:

"But the spiritual grass grows in the deep mountains and old forests, that is the territory of the Chen Rong Army, although the Hongjiang army is strict in discipline and never kills innocents indiscriminately, but his military advisers are very difficult to get along with, and the methods are ruthless."

Jiu Yao said disappreciably:

"I'm not spying on the military, I'm just digging spirit grass, no matter how ruthless he is, he has to abide by military discipline, don't you say?"

"Besides, I'm afraid I won't be able to meet a big man like that kind of military advisor, don't worry."

After speaking, she waved her hand, picked up the basket, and walked out of the backyard, and it didn't take long for a figure to quietly jump out of the Rejuvenation Hall.

At the end of the night, Jiu Yao was walking in the dense forest, and suddenly her ears moved slightly, and she heard a slight sound of footsteps, just when she wanted to shout.

Yang Jiao shrunk and appeared beside her.

In an instant, Jiu Yao was vigilant, and when she was about to take out the self-defense poison, a familiar voice came from her ears:

"It's me."

Jiu Yao's tense mood immediately relaxed, and she said angrily:

"Yang Jiao, why did you follow me out of nowhere, fortunately you reminded me early, otherwise my poison would have been sprinkled on you."

"And I'm going into the mountains to collect medicine, why are you coming along, go back quickly."

Yang Jiao spoke gently:

"Most of the elixirs are in the garrison of Chen Rongjun, you will encounter it nine times out of ten, so don't be reckless, I said, protect you thoroughly, you want me to be a person who is untrustworthy?"

A trace of thought flashed in Jiu Yao's eyes, and then stared at Yang Jiao:

"Are you a deserter from Tatsuei?"

"Are you a soldier of Xiyan?"

"Are you Haoling's fine work?"

Seeing that Yang Jiao was shaking his head, he had no choice but to say:

"Okay, then you can go into the mountain, come with me."

When she tried to take a step, Yang Jiao grabbed the back basket and said lightly:

"Your spiritual power is low, and your physique is not strong, so I'd better come."

As he spoke, he took off the back basket behind Jiu Yao.

"Yang Jiao, listening to this, your spiritual cultivation is very profound, and your physique is very strong?"

Seeing Yang Jiao picking up the basket by himself, without saying a word, Jiu Yao couldn't help but laugh:

"It's not like I haven't seen your body at the beginning, and the two taels of meat are very strong, and the rest can be summed up in four words."

Yang Jiao's face turned dark, and he couldn't help but speed up his pace, leaving her behind, and even said in his heart:

"Meat and vegetarian are not taboo, you really think of yourself as a man."

Jiu Yao shouted playfully:

"Hey, Yang Jiao, don't go so fast, let me tell you, there is a nine-headed monster in the Chen Rong Army, who looks very terrifying, kills people, hunts the gods, and then eats them all, if you don't follow me, then you will be a sheep in the mouth of a tiger."

Two hours later, the two sat down by the river to rest.

Seeing that Jiu Yao wanted to drink river water to quench her thirst, Yang Jiao grabbed her hand, took off the water bladder on her waist, and handed it over.

The corners of Jiu Yao's mouth twitched:

"It's pretty exquisite."

After that, he took the water bladder and drank it in a big gulp.

Yang Jiao waved his hand slightly, helped Jiu Yao remove the water stains on her cheeks and clothes, and took out a small bamboo basket from her waist, flashed with the small bamboo basket, and then handed it to her.

Jiu Yao looked at the steaming small bamboo basket in her hand and smiled:

"Tsk, you really don't waste spiritual power, not only use spiritual power to remove water stains on your body, but also use spiritual power to heat and eat."

"But then again, you are so virtuous and capable, I don't know which girl will be cheaper in the future."

After Yang Jiao heard this, he was silent.

The reason why she is so good to Jiu Yao is not only because she was rescued, but also because she drank her blood before, and when she was able to awaken, through the causal connection in the underworld, that is, the love calamity, she sensed that she was the white and shallow other and self.

Otherwise, with his character, how could he be so attentive to a woman.
