Chapter 57: The Treasure Medicine (Seeking Follow-up)
I simply scrubbed the rain off my body with a towel.
Put on new, clean and tidy clothes.
Su Heng and Su Ping returned to the room and chatted while enjoying their breakfast.
Of course, Su Heng's personality is relatively dull and he doesn't like to talk much. In most cases, Su Ping was there alone, while Su Heng was watching and listening carefully.
With Su Heng joining the Qingcheng Gang, he became a blood refining martial artist and became a pharmacist.
Things are getting better at home.
Su Ping's mental outlook has also improved a lot during this time.
The originally dull yellow skin has become white and soft after receiving a lot of nutrients.
The body also begins to develop again, revealing the plump curves that are characteristic of women.
Frankly.
Su Ping's appearance is not a very stunning and beautiful type in Su Heng's eyes.
But it's very attractive, and there is always maternal tenderness between the eyebrows and eyes.
Inexplicably crossing into this purgatory-like world, Su Heng was depressed for a long time at first. As a former modern person, it is difficult to adapt to such a harsh environment and the ubiquitous spiritual oppression.
It was also with the patience of his family that Su Heng gradually came out of the predicament.
It's a pity.
Before Su Heng's martial arts talent was developed.
My mother died of illness, my father was bitten to death by a poisonous snake, and my eldest sister was missing... In the whole family, only the second sister is left to rely on herself.
"The weather has been really weird for the past few years."
Halfway through the meal.
Su Ping put down the chopsticks in his hand and looked out the window at the rain curtain.
"Alas..."Sighing softly, Su Ping spoke: "God seems to be intent on rectifying people, either it doesn't rain for three years, or it rains lightly for one or two months in a row. ”
"The cabbage I grew in my vegetable field was almost ready to eat, but it was soaked in the rain and the roots were rotten."
"The situation at home is fine, and we will not miss this bite." Su Heng also thought a lot, "It's just that those farmers outside who make a living by farming are probably going to be sad this year." ”
Natural disasters for many years.
Even the Emperor of the Dynasty wanted to fill the loopholes.
Decrees that can be issued cannot be enforced.
Those local officials and gentry families would not miss such an opportunity to compete for land from the common people.
Without the loss of their land, those farmers would not be able to complete the taxes of the Great Moon Dynasty. Either they were reduced to slavery and driven away, or they chose to join violent organizations such as the White Lotus Sect and the Red Wood Army.
There is no third way out.
Even if you don't think deeply, you can understand that the world will only become more and more chaotic in the future.
"However, there are some benefits to the rain." As if sensing that the atmosphere at the dinner table was too dull, Su Ping quietly changed the topic.
"What's the benefit?"
Su Heng looked at her with a smile on her face, and there were two small dimples at the corners of her mouth.
I couldn't help but ask curiously.
"It's the dry wells." Su Ping said: "Those wells originally died because of years of drought.
But now, after a whole month of light rain, there is plenty of water. The well, which was originally thought to be dead, is now bursting with clear and living water, and it is really a good thing that people in the vicinity can easily fetch water. ”
"It's just...", as if thinking of something unhappy, Su Ping frowned slightly.
"Just what?"
"It's not a big deal."
Su Ping said: "It's just that when I was fetching water, someone found a dry and smelly corpse in the well, which was disgusting. I don't know who threw the corpse into the well with water, it's too lacking in morality! ”
Su Ping, who has always been good-tempered, couldn't help but scold crisply at this time.
Su Heng, who was taking a big bite of rice, thought of the fact that more than two months ago, he threw one of the altar masters of the White Lotus Sect and Xu Dacong into the dry well.
His face suddenly became a little strange.
"What's wrong with you?"
Su Ping saw his younger brother's depressed expression, so he asked with some concern.
"Nothing." Su Heng shook his head and said casually: "I just think that person is indeed quite lacking in morality." ”
……
Had breakfast.
Su Heng left the courtyard and came to an inconspicuous wine shed in the outer city.
Zhu Hongwu had already booked a table with some wine, meat and vegetables on it, and was waiting patiently.
"Brother Heng!"
After seeing Su Heng's arrival.
Zhu Hongwu immediately got up and poured wine for Su Heng, "I already have the exact news here for you to find out about the matter you asked me to help you investigate." ”
"What's going on?"
Su Heng took a boiled peanut with chopsticks and put it in his mouth to chew.
In the past month or so, Su Heng and Zhu Hongwu have been in contact many times. As the number of contacts increased, Su Heng found that this Fa Xiao did have some skills.
He has close ties to many gang members around Deling County.
The sources are wide.
Su Heng asked Xiao Wu to help him find out the news of Wukui Mountain and the White Lotus Sect, of course, he himself had gone deep into Wukui Mountain to investigate many times, plus the information channels obtained by the Qingcheng Gang.
With the cooperation of the three parties, the whole picture of the matter can be restored and unfolded in front of Su Heng.
It also allows him to gain details that he hadn't noticed before.
"The news of the immortal medicine is true, there is indeed a great innate treasure medicine born in Wukui Mountain, but it is not yet mature, and I don't know where this immortal medicine grows."
Zhu Hongwu changed his words, "However, the current Wukui Mountain is also very dangerous. ”
"On the one hand, the strange beasts in the mountains have become more and more restless. The strength of those alien beasts is very strong, and the strength martial artists who have achieved three blood refining achievements have been torn alive by a big worm, which is miserable. ”
"The beast is fierce, but the more dangerous thing is the demon of the White Lotus Sect."
Zhu Hongwu glanced left and right and found that there was no one around, so he lowered his voice and said: "I heard that immortal medicine can not only increase people's strength, but also change their innate qualifications, so that martial artists can be reborn."
The White Lotus Sect had already regarded the elixir as something in its own pocket, and had sent a large number of masters to garrison Wukui Mountain.
Any outsider, whether it is a warrior, a merchant, or even a medicine picker in the mountains, will be killed directly if they find it! It's too domineering, it's too cruel! ”
Zhu Hongwu said again: "Moreover, the leader of this operation in the White Lotus Sect is Bai Ruici, the right protector.
This is a master second only to the White Lotus Sect Master, known as a life-killing scholar, just by dying in his hands there is an exact record of the refining martial artist, there are five fingers! ”
"Bai Ruici..."
Su Heng thought of when he participated in the auction in Xiangjiatubao.
Bai Ruici fell from the sky, and within ten moves, Xiang Yunfei, who was also a martial artist, was beaten to death.
Remain fresh in one's memory.
I don't know if he can fight Bai Ruici head-on with his strength now.
Su Heng would not be afraid to retreat because he heard Bai Ruici's name, but he would not be stupid enough to clash head-on with the powerful White Lotus Sect.
Planning the treasure medicine, Su Heng already had a rough plan in his heart.
"I see."
Su Heng's face remained unchanged, he bowed slightly, and then continued to ask, "Did I ask you to help me find something, did you bring it here?" ”
"Brought it here!" Zhu Hongwu patted his chest: "What Brother Heng asked me to do, I will do it with all my might!" ”
As he spoke, he took out a wooden box from his bosom as if offering a treasure.
Carefully placed on the table.
