Liu Xunxiang naturally didn't know what this little lady was thinking, so she didn't look at her after she was a little surprised when she came in.

The swarthy man stood up immediately when he heard Liu Xunxiang's voice, for a villager like himself who was illiterate in big characters, a scholar was willing to come to the house for dinner, which was quite face-saving, because the scholar was high-minded and disdainful of dealing with hawkers and walkers was well known.

After Liu Xunxiang sat down, the swarthy man looked at his mother-in-law with a little pride, and then picked up the wine jar and carefully poured a large bowl of wine for Liu Xunxiang.

Liu Xunxiang also noticed that the atmosphere on the table was a little strange, but under the enthusiasm of the swarthy man, he couldn't speak for a while, so he had to pick up the wine and touch it with the man, and then he poured the wine down like a man, and the spicy feeling of inferior rough wine instantly filled Liu Xunxiang's mouth, which made him, who had never drunk alcohol, immediately choked and blushed, and coughed vigorously.

Liu Xunxiang has been drinking for the first time so far, and I wanted to learn from those Jianghu children to drink in a big bowl, but I never came up with such an ugly one.

When the little lady saw Liu Xunxiang who was choked, she also showed a smug smile on her face, this smile seemed to make the somewhat dim hut brighter, but when she saw Liu Xunxiang glimpse herself, she immediately straightened her face and continued to seriously pick up vegetables for the childish children on the side.

After such a commotion, the atmosphere on the table has eased a lot, and Liu Xunxiang, who has learned to drink slowly, also learned that this swarthy man's real name is Wu Zhuangshi, and this little lady's name is Wu Wanniang.

After giving the best piece of meat on the table to the child, Liu Xunxiang said: "When the younger brother was at home, he knew a little about medical pharmacology, and he saw the injury on Brother Wu's body, so he specially brought some herbs. After saying that, he took out a palm-sized paper bag from the pocket on his chest and put it on the table.

Wu Zhuangshi's family looked at the paper bag on the table and were a little stunned, although this paper bag is not big, but the things contained in it are worth at least ten taels of silver in the Qin Kingdom.

Because of the late start of the Qin State, although it annexed the Six Kingdoms, its overall strength was still inferior to the other three major dynasties, so it could only occupy these barren borders, so it also led to the preciousness of these herbs that must be grown in the ground and other things became precious, and the preciousness of the herbs naturally raised the status of the doctor, like the small village where Wu Zhuangshi was located, he couldn't afford to invite the doctor to come here to treat the people in the village.

So when he heard that Liu Xunxiang actually knew how to use medicine, he should think that Liu Xunxiang was a doctor, which made Wu Zhuangshi a little excited for a while: "Mr. Liu, this medicine is a waste for us, I invite you to have a meal, it's not a picture, just..."

Liu Xunxiang interrupted him with a wave of his hand, and then pushed the paper bag on the table in front of Wu Zhuangshi's table, Wu Zhuangshi looked at the paper bag a little overwhelmed, and suddenly, a white and tender Rouyi reached over and took the paper bag away.

The swarthy man and the woman panicked, looking at Wu Wanniang, who was holding the paper bag tightly in her hand, and didn't know how to say it, if you want to say that you don't want this paper bag to be fake, after all, you often catch wild beasts in the mountains, how can you not be injured, with this herb, it is equivalent to being able to enter the mountain a few more times, and you can exchange some jewelry and toys for the woman and the two dolls.

Wu Zhuangshi thought about it, and finally gritted his teeth and stood up to snatch the paper bag that Wu Wanniang had saved in the palm of his hand, but Wu Wanniang refused to let go, just lowered his head and silently protected the treasure in the palm, which made Wu Zhuangshi a little unable to take it, and immediately scolded: "How can you doll do such a shameful thing, where do you let your father and my face go, quickly take out the medicine and return it to Mr. Liu." ”

Wu Wanniang is still silent, Daddy hunts all year round for this family, and comes back with injuries every day, and now the things in this paper bag can not only cure injuries, but also save lives, so Wu Wanniang made up her mind not to let go, all of them feel sorry for their children, and there are a few children who don't feel sorry for their parents.

Seeing his own doll like this, Wu Zhuangshi raised his hand and wanted to fight, Wu Wanniang closed her eyes and waited for this slap, but she didn't feel pain for a long time, Wu Wanniang, who was puzzled, opened her eyes, but saw that her father's hand was grabbed by Liu Xunxiang's hand, no matter how hard Wu Zhuangshi tried, the grabbed hand could not go down a bit, which made Wu Zhuangshi shocked again, this Mr. Liu looked weak, but this strength did make him ashamed of himself who kept up with the mountain to catch beasts all day long.

Since Mr. Liu stopped him, Wu Zhuangshi naturally didn't want to force his move, so he could only smile apologetically at Liu Xunxiang, and Liu Xunxiang also smiled: "Brother Wu doesn't accept this herb, how can I be embarrassed to come to the house for a light meal again in the future, I have been bothered for too long today, and the younger brother will leave first." ”

After finishing speaking, he turned around and went out, looking at Liu Xunxiang's back, Wu Zhuangshi muttered to himself: "This Mr. Liu is not an ordinary person." ”

On the morning of the second day, as soon as Liu Xunxiang came out of his thatched house, he saw Wu Wanniang drying clothes on the side, looking at Wu Wanniang's appearance, Liu Xunxiang couldn't think of how such a burly man could give birth to such a handsome and beautiful daughter.

It's a little from last night, Wu Wanniang doesn't hate Liu Xunxiang so much, the initial disgust is shallow, and it will naturally be fair to look at people, look at this Mr. Liu today, whether it is appearance or knowledge, compared to those young men in the village who are covered in stinky sweat all day long and open their mouths to talk meat, I don't know how much stronger.

Liu Xunxiang looked at Wu Wanniang and looked at herself, and nodded with a smile at Wu Wanniang, which made Wu Wanniang's face red again, and sure enough, she was still a prodigal son.

At this moment, the young man named Mang, who followed the village chief yesterday, came over, and saw Wu Wanniang's red face and Liu Xunxiang standing on the side, and suddenly the anger in his heart did not come anywhere, this damn foreign boy, really came with a pickled mind, otherwise why not choose, but chose next to Wan Niang's house.

Looking at Liu Xunxiang's fair-skinned and delicate appearance, Mang Mu really couldn't understand why Wan Niang blushed on such an embroidered pillow, and the mother-in-law in the village chose which man was not the strongest pick.

The more Mang Gu thought about it, the more aggrieved he became, and he didn't have a good face for Liu Xunxiang: "Alien boy, who let you build the house here." ”

"If you have the ability, you can go to the village chief to change the land for me, if you don't have the ability, don't make noise there. Liu Xunxiang glanced at Manggu lightly and said.

After experiencing this period of experience, Liu Xunxiang also gradually understood one thing, that is, only those who have the ability to speak, he believed that the village chief would not fail to understand the purpose of his stay, so for this young man who has always wanted to give himself a dismount, he will naturally not be polite.

Mang Gu naturally knew that he didn't have that ability, after all, he was only a third-generation junior in the village, although he was very unconvinced, but he couldn't refute Liu Xunxiang's words, and Wu Wanniang was still beside him, which made Mang Gu even more embarrassed.

Liu Xunxiang, who knew that the sturdy young man in front of him actually had no ill will towards him, but just wanted to give himself a dismount and avoid causing trouble to the village, glanced at Wu Wanniang, who was pretending not to hear anything, and said, "You didn't come here suddenly just to see where I live, right?"

Liu Xunxiang's words made Manggu react instantly, and he almost forgot about his business, so Manggu hurriedly said: "The village chief asked me to come to you and want to see you." ”

Liu Xunxiang nodded, obviously not surprised by this, and said, "Lead the way." ”

Mang snorted twice, and wanted to say hello to Wu Wanniang, but saw that Wu Wanniang was walking home with her little face drying her clothes, so she had to give up.

The village said that it was not big, but it was still a long way to get to the village chief's house, and on the way, Mangmu wanted to open his mouth several times to find fault and urge Liu Xunxiang, who was slow behind, but when he thought that he had just given him a step down, he had to shut up, and Liu Xunxiang looked at Manggu with a playful smile in the back, and then put his eyes on both sides of the road.

Since they came to this village, they haven't come out to take a good stroll, and it didn't take long for the two of them to come to the door of a house that was bigger than the other houses, and they glanced at Liu Xunxiang and said, "I've arrived, and the village chief is waiting for you inside." ”

Liu Xunxiang nodded, and walked in, as soon as he entered the door, Liu Xunxiang asked A strong smell of decay, a bit like the smell of wood being blistered, which made Liu Xunxiang frown slightly, in this village, the only person who makes him a little jealous is this village chief.

"Come in and sit down, the little old man is old and not very convenient to move, so I have to invite you over to chat. ”

As soon as the hind feet entered the house, an old voice came from the room in the house, it was the voice of the village chief, looking at the door wide open, Liu Xunxiang squinted his eyes slightly, and immediately agitated the aura of his whole body, and then slowly walked to the room.

The furnishings in the room were very simple, except for a chair and a small uneven table, there was only a very simple bed, on which the old man was sitting and looking at the stranger who had just arrived in the village.

Liu Xunxiang arched his hand at the old man and said: "I am very grateful to the village chief for not disliking it, and let me live here, and I have been busy building a house, so I can't come to see you, it's rude." ”

The old man stretched out his hand and pointed to the stool on the side, meaning to let Liu Xunxiang please sit down, and then said: "Your Excellency is polite, if the little old man guessed correctly, Your Excellency should not be from my Qin country, but from the Song country, and if you want to live in my dilapidated small village, it should also be for the quota of the Great Sword Sect." ”

Liu Xunxiang's heart tightened, could this old man be able to see his cultivation? But the old man in front of him from the first time they met to the present, he didn't find that there was a spiritual qi in his body, if so, then it can only explain two points, one is that this old man's cultivation is higher than himself, so he can't see it, and the other is that this old man is a mortal at all.

However, on the surface, Liu Xunxiang still replied quietly: "Zai Xia is indeed not from the Qin State, as for the quota of the Great Sword Sect you mentioned, I didn't understand this Zai Xia. ”

The old man looked at Liu Xunxiang with cloudy old eyes, and said: "Your Excellency, don't be nervous, Xiao Lao'er doesn't mean anything else, although Xiao Lao'er is not a monk like you who can fly to the sky, but Xiao Lao'er is also fortunate to have seen many monks in his life, so this bit of eyesight is still there." ”

The old man's words did not make Liu Xunxiang relax his vigilance, but he was even more careful in his heart, the farthest place he went to since he was a child was only a few nearby towns, and he had never even been to Qinghe City.

"Now that the village chief knows, he must also believe that there is no malice in staying here, but he will leave quietly as soon as the time is up. ”

The old man seemed to be waiting for this moment, and then said with a smile: "The quota is naturally in the hands of the little old man, but there is only one quota, why should I give it to you?"

Liu Xunxiang understood this stupidly, and then dissipated the aura in his body, sat aside and said, "Open the conditions." ”

After all, no one would be so stupid as to know that the person standing opposite him was a person who could pinch himself to death with his hands, not only did he not give what the other party wanted, but he also said so blatantly that he would not give it, so there was only one explanation for saying this, that is, even if he killed the old man, he would not be able to get a quota, so the old man had no fear, and he also wanted to use this quota to negotiate conditions with himself.

Thinking of this, there is naturally no need to play dumb riddles back and forth, but it is better to open up and say the truth.

When the old man saw Liu Xunxiang like this, a trace of appreciation flashed in his eyes, so he said: "Okay, the old man likes to make deals with smart people." ”
