Chapter 8: Meeting a Teenager
Wei Xiangjun later learned that Zheng Qiaosheng had contracted the wind chill earlier, and he happened to suffer from skin and flesh again, and then accompanied Wei Dongheng to run before and after the wind blew, but he couldn't hold it in the end.
As soon as he woke up here, he was worried about the medicinal herbs again, and he struggled to get up, but Wei Xiangjun put on a posture of the owner, arranged a guy to guard the door of the Zheng family, and said that he would never be allowed to step into the main cultivation hall tonight.
This night, the war was in chaos.
The cart delivering medicinal herbs was blocked at the city gate for several hours, and it was only in the middle of the night that it arrived at the main cultivation hall.
It was a little girl who inspected the goods, and the drug dealer didn't pay attention to it at all. Especially Wei Xiangjun checked carefully, and people were even more impatient.
"Which of the times we sent is not the top brand goods, and it is really a delay in the inspection. The girl didn't believe it, so she went to ask Dr. Zheng. ”
Just this sentence, the drug dealer said it several times.
Wei Xiangjun was not angry, he reached out and picked up a piece of Sanqi, first smelled it, then broke a small half, and chewed it in his mouth, "The goods are not fake, but there are too many heads, the quality is shriveled, the skin is still wrinkled, and it has been stored for some years." ”
The drug dealer was stunned, this skinny little girl was actually an expert.
"I won't accept this batch of goods first. When you have the top brand goods in your hand, send them again! ”
"What do you mean, I shipped all the way to Hengyang ......"
The drug dealer shouted, and he scared Wei Xiangjun later, "Now they are all grabbing medicinal materials." In a few days, you won't be able to buy it if you want to. ”
Wei Xiangjun glanced at the drug dealer, and only said lightly: "Are you planning to do just a hammer deal?" Don't mention Hengyang, it is Jibei, which one never owes credit like our Zhengxiu Hall? Doing business is about treating each other with sincerity, so that there is a long stream. These truths, let me, the junior, say it, it's not interesting. ”
Seeing that Wei Xiangjun didn't eat it softly and hard, the drug dealer lost his temper in the end, and accompanied him with a salivating face, his attitude was really much better, and he was afraid that this trip would be in vain.
When he was finally done, Wei Xiangjun happily asked the account office to count the silver, and casually asked the shopkeeper of the medicine hall, "Why do you collect so much at once?" ”
Most of the goods that came back were blood exhaustion, notoginseng, white medicine and licorice and other drugs used for external injuries, which were rarely the case before.
"Girl, I don't know, this batch of goods is my eyes on Dr. Zheng's face, and I am close to you. These you call back, I will send them to other shops tomorrow, and they can also be sold at a good price. ”
The drug dealer made a lot of money, and he was happy to tell the truth.
The shopkeeper of the medicine hall explained, "It is rumored that the Yue family's army is going to fight again. At that time, there will definitely be a shortage of medicinal materials, and the price will increase several times, and no one will be able to eat it. Now it's not just us, all the pharmacies in the city are hoarding. ”
Wei Xiangjun suddenly realized.
There is a peaceful scene in Hengyang City, no one could have imagined that this great river and mountain has long been remembered.
Although the Yue family army was famous, it was not entertained, from the high-ranking officials and magnates to the common people, most of them were dissatisfied with the "reckless force" of the Yue family army. Only after many years, when someone hits the door, can the people of Jibei realize that with the Yue family's army, no one in the world can be defeated.
is busy at this point, and there is no need for Wei Xiangjun to personally stare at the matter of warehousing in the future.
With Bixue, who had been with her all night, Wei Xiangjun walked through the backyard and prepared to go back to Zheng Qiaosheng's house on North Street.
The house on North Street was pre-purchased by Dr. Zheng, and it was not given to his daughter, but left to Zheng Qiaosheng, who has always been his son.
Zheng Qiaosheng and his wife also regard Wei Xiangjun as the pearl in their palms. Grandma Wei's boudoir before leaving the pavilion has been kept, just for this apprentice to come and live from time to time.
Wei Xiangjun and Bixue will stay here tonight.
The backyard was full of patients, and it was dark at the moment, and when I walked inside, I could only hear my own footsteps.
Wei Xiangjun was also too tired, covering his mouth and yawning.
Bi Xue, who was carrying a lantern in front, stood coldly and let out an "oops" sound.
Wei Xiangjun was taken aback, "What's wrong?" ”
"Yes, there is a ...... Shadow! ”
Bi Xue turned around and grabbed Wei Xiangjun and pointed with a lantern, "Enter Daochang Li's house." ”
"It's the guy there. Surprised! ”
More than an hour ago, Wei Xiangjun went to see Daoist Li, almost before and after dawn, and the shroud and coffin were put into the house.
"It's not him."
Bi Xue made a mistake and scared herself, "Is it possible...... Haunted? ”
Wei Xiangjun couldn't cry or laugh, and then he thought about it, there was a lot of chaos in front of him, and it was not necessarily impossible for someone to sneak in. It's not terrible to be a ghost, if you enter a thief, if something happens to a patient in this backyard, it's all because the main cultivation hall is not careful.
"Sister Bixue, where did you say it was haunted?"
The young man who was robbed of the waist card by Wei Xiangjun ran in from the front and asked with a grin.
Wei Xiangjun finally realized that something was wrong, "Daochang Li's house, who is in it?" ”
It's this guy who is guarding Daochang Li tonight.
"I'm the only one. I just went ahead to unload the medicinal herbs, and I went to help the handle. ”
The young man ran into Daoist Li's house with a smoke, probably because he was afraid that Wei Xiangjun would scold him for leaving his post without permission.
In the black hospital room, the lights were on right now.
After waiting for a while, Wei Xiangjun didn't see anything unusual, so he said to Bixue, "I'll go over and take a look!" ”
Daoist Li is also pitiful, when he was dying, he did not have a single relative by his side.
His apprentice hasn't shown his head yet, so he shouldn't be able to see him anymore.
Bi Xue knew that there was a coffin in the house, but she was also afraid, and she didn't dare to follow, "Girl, come out quickly!" ”
On the bed, Daoist Li closed his eyes and looked quite peaceful.
Stretching out his hand to try his snort, Wei Xiangjun suddenly came back to his senses.
What about the guy guys?
"Hmm......"
There was clearly someone in the house.
Wei Xiangjun turned around suddenly, and suddenly broke out in a cold sweat.
Just behind the door she entered, the young man was covered from behind.
The oil lamp in the room was dim, and Wei Xiangjun couldn't see the person behind the young man clearly, only knowing that he was half a head taller than the young man.
"Do you want silver?"
Wei Xiangjun must be stable at this time, the person behind him who is about to die, he can't disturb people's last journey, "You name it, I'll give it to you." Don't be in this house, though! ”
The other party did not speak, but let go of his hand.
The young man jumped up behind Wei Xiangjun and said with a crying voice: "Girl, he has long been hiding in this house!" ”
The child seemed frightened.
"What are you crying about!"
Wei Xiangjun nodded sideways and snorted, his eyes staring at the uninvited guest again, "There's nothing valuable here." Can't you see, just a coffin? ”
The other party did not respond, and moved two steps forward, also unscrupulously.
Under the lamplight, you can see that this man has a pair of torn boots on his feet, and his coarse clothes are short, and although he is not short, he is very thin.
Looking up, it was a thin face, with clear facial features and immaturity, and some slight whiskers on the lips. I don't know what he went through before, his hair was messy and messy.
Really...... Sloppy.
"Uncle spare his life!"
The young man said cowardly, but he blocked in front of Xiang Jun and handed over a shabby purse in his hand, "There is some broken silver here, if you want it, take it all!" We men can't bully the girl's family. ”
This person didn't speak, only looked at Wei Xiangjun with a pair of deep phoenix eyes.
"What the hell do you want to do?"
Wei Xiangjun opened his mouth, calm on the surface, but in his heart, he turned the river and the sea.
"Ah...... Five......"
A voice rang out in the room.
Wei Xiangjun turned his head.
Daoist Li on the sickbed suddenly woke up and looked at the young man without blinking. The hand was about to be raised, but it hung down weakly.
Daoist Li was waiting for ......
"In Xia Xu Wu, come to see Master for the last time."
Xu Wu's voice still carried the hoarseness that was unique to the teenager when he was in a position.
It's inexplicably funny.
"Since I came to see Daochang Li, I will talk to him."
Of course, Wei Xiangjun didn't laugh, but only dropped a sentence coldly, "Let's go out first." If there's something going on, go to the door and say it. ”
"Girl, can you tell me how the tutor is doing?"
The man came closer, almost standing side by side with Wei Xiangjun.
Wei Xiangjun's back hair stood up, and he just wanted to run away.
But if she runs away at this time, she will be regarded as a madman.
"Li Daochang has a knife wound in his lung, and the Zhengxiu Hall has done his best. It's just that destiny is hard to disobey. He has been waiting for you for a long time. ”
Wei Xiangjun tried to make his voice sound calm.
Even if they meet again, they are just strangers.
“…… Thanks a lot! ”
"Girl, the big guys are here!"
Bixue's voice came in.
"It's not!"
The young man ran out to report the news, "Daoist Li's apprentice has finally arrived." ”
"You...... Where did it go? ”
Li Dao let out a long voice, and his breath was like a gossamer.
Nodding to Wei Xiangjun, Xu Wu stepped forward and knelt on the ground, "Son, it's too late!" ”
This sound can be heard with choking.
Does Xu Wu also know sadness?
At this time, Xu Wu held Daoist Li's hand on the side of the bed, and the two of them put their heads together, bowed their heads and spoke.
Wei Xiangjun's gaze fell on Xu Wuhou's shoulder, where there was a large black and purple mark.
It's like ...... Blood?
Here, the master and apprentice parted from death, and Wei Xiangjun walked out silently.
Sure enough, there were quite a few people outside.
The young man was talking to the big guy, "When I went in, I didn't notice that he had jumped off the beam. Half of my life was scared away. ”
Bi Xue couldn't help but ask, "No one is stopping him, why are you hiding?" ”
That's right.
If he really wanted to see his master, Xu Wu could have walked through the gate of the main cultivation hall and came in in a dignified manner.
After so many years of partnering in his previous life, no matter how many thoughtful words Xu Wu said, there are many things in this person, and Wei Xiangjun has never been able to see through them.
Especially his appearance today, there is a sense of weirdness.
"Girl, I'm right, right?"
Bixue greeted her, with a smug look on her face, "Someone really went in." ”
Wei Xiangjun hummed, sent everyone away, and asked the young man to get some water, help Daoist Li change his clothes, and hand over the rest to the apprentice.
The sleeve was suddenly pulled, and Bi Xue glanced at Wei Xiangjun for some reason.
Wei Xiangjun turned his head.
Xu Wu came out.
"What's the matter with the little leader?"
Daoist Li's apprentice is naturally a little Taoist.
"My master said that thanks to the help of the girl, our master and apprentice were able to meet this side. He repays the grass ring with his body! ”
The words were so sincere, but Wei Xiangjun's face sank, "With this effort, go in and do your apprentice's filial piety." Nothing else, there's no need! ”
Wei Xiangjun's steps quickened, shaking his arms, eager to fly.
Xu Wu didn't leave, and kept standing in place.
Until Wei Xiangjun disappeared into the night, Xu Wu chuckled lightly, and was about to turn around and go back, when he found that on the ground not far away, something was shining in the moonlight.
