() He understood in his heart and said to the shopkeeper, "This shopkeeper, God still has mercy, so why bother us." People's hearts are flesh and blood, this woman has just lost her son, and her family is unfortunately grief-stricken, even if you give her some compensation, why not.

"I don't think it's as good as this, you just do a good thing to the end, just give her some more silver taels, settle her well, and believe that she will never come to the pharmacy to make trouble again. ”

"However, I have done my best for the sake of this. Not to mention the burial of her son, but also 。。。。。。 The shopkeeper's face was full of grievances, and before he finished speaking, he was interrupted by Qiao Zhengyu waving his hand.

walked up to the woman and said, "This lady, I have some silver here, which is considered the compensation given to you by the shopkeeper." Although this money is not a lot, it is enough for you to use in the next life, and I hope that when you go back, you will arrange your son's funeral. As for the pharmacy side, I hope you'd better not come back. ”

The woman took the money, turned her sorrow into joy, and nodded, "Well, this guest officer is really a good man, I 。。。。。。 I'm here to thank you. He knocked his head a few times, held the silver, and without looking back, he turned around and walked out of the pharmacy.

Qiao Zhengyu looked at the woman's back, and suddenly a thought suddenly appeared in his heart: "It's strange, how do I feel as if I have been deceived." Hey, forget it, if you cheat, you cheat, and you have done a good thing. I couldn't help but shake my head and smile bitterly.

When he was laughing at himself, he only heard the shopkeeper say: "Oh, how can the old man make the guest officer spend a lot of time for me." The old man can't repay him, so please accept my worship. "Bow down, and bow.

was already supported by Qiao Zhengyu and said, "No need, shopkeeper, why bother with this little thing." Actually, I came here to ask a question, did the shopkeeper see a young woman in white? Just half an hour ago, a little girl with a foreign accent. ”

When the shopkeeper heard this, he thought for a while and said, "There are many customers who come in and out of our store every day, and it is not easy to remember a person, but I have some images of the person you are talking about.

"Because she was so good-looking, and dressed in white, when I first saw her, I thought she was a fairy who came down from heaven. It wasn't a big deal, but it was her knowledge of medicine that made me sigh to myself, so I remembered her. ”

"Oh, so she really came. So what did you all say, tell me about the situation. Qiao Zhengyu was overjoyed and urged on the side.

The shopkeeper looked left and right and said, "This guest officer, it is inconvenient for many people here, if the guest officer wants to know the details, he should go to the back room with me and talk about it." ”

led the way in front and introduced Qiao Zhengyu into the back room.

The shopkeeper asked Qiao Zhengyu to sit down in front of a chair, and then he sat next to him.

"This guest officer, we have known each other for a while, and we still don't know your honorable name。。。。。。 ”

Qiao Zhengyu got up and clenched his fists and said, "Under the surname Qiao, the shopkeeper doesn't need to be polite, you can call me Xiao Qiao." ”

The shopkeeper hurriedly returned the salute, bowed down and said, "It turned out to be Mr. Qiao, and the old man was disrespectful." ”

With a wave of his hand, he motioned for Qiao Zhengyu to sit down, and he returned to his seat.

The shopkeeper was over 100 years old, with a long beard and white eyebrows, and he was sitting on a chair at this time, but he was unhurried and looked leisurely and happy.

"Shopkeeper, you can talk about it now. Qiao Zhengyu saw that the time was not early, so he urged again.

The shopkeeper listened, but no

In a hurry, he asked someone to bring a pot of good tea, poured a full cup for Qiao Zhengyu, and placed it in front of him.

"Qiao Gongzi, this tea is a good Longjing, since you are here, why don't you taste it first?"

"This 。。。。。。 Qiao Zhengyu didn't have the heart to drink tea, but when he saw that the shopkeeper's eyes were staring at him, he couldn't refuse, so he had to pick up the cup and send it to his mouth.

What the shopkeeper said was true, the tea was really good tea, and before it was eaten, there was a fragrance wafting in. Qiao Zhengyu only sniffed a little, and then felt that the fragrance was refreshing, and he was suddenly in a good mood and took a sip.

"Well, it's really good tea!" Qiao Zhengyu couldn't help but take a few more sips and nodded incessantly.

When the shopkeeper saw this, he smiled and said, "How about it, the old man didn't deceive anyone." However, this tea is certainly a good tea, but you can only drink one sip, if you drink many sips in a row, you are afraid that the anger will increase, but it is not beautiful. ”

"The shopkeeper means。。。。。。 Qiao Zhengyu only felt that the shopkeeper had something to say, and when he opened his eyes and looked at the shopkeeper, he found that the shopkeeper was staring at him. Suddenly, he was sucked in by his eyes, and suddenly felt that the sky was spinning, and his eyes were black, and then, he was loaded to the ground.

I don't know how long it took, Qiao Zhengyu gradually woke up.

In front of him was a house, dim and impermeable, surrounded on all sides by cold walls, like an iron cage. A small opening opened in the roof, and a bright light shone in and shone on the ground.

"Where is this? Haven't I woken up yet?" Qiao Zhengyu vaguely remembered that after a few sips of tea, he didn't know anything. Looking at everything unfamiliar, it is still like being in a dream.

He got up from the ground, walked to the wall, stretched out his hand and knocked on the door, and shouted, "Is there anyone?

"Impossible, am I locked up?" Qiao Zhengyu had an ominous thought in his heart, but he was still unwilling, and he beat everywhere. After only a few moments, his body went limp, and he fell to the ground.

"It's over, it must be the shopkeeper. Yes, it's him, otherwise I wouldn't have been here. Thinking of this, Qiao Zhengyu couldn't help but shake his head and sigh, blaming himself for being careless and not seeing the shopkeeper's intentions.

"What can I do here, I don't know where this is, how can I get out?" At this time, Qiao Zhengyu's heart was already in turmoil, and in the face of the predicament, he felt helpless and hopeless for the first time.

He sat down against the wall, his whole body on the ground, his eyes glazed over, not knowing what to do.

"Qiao Zhengyu, Qiao Zhengyu, why are you so careless, can't you see through the things on the rivers and lakes, you will be calculated by a shopkeeper, you are really speechless. Qiao Zhengyu buried his head in his legs, waving his hands constantly, regretting his actions.

At this moment, I suddenly heard a noise from the roof, as if someone had opened a bars window, and then someone said, "Hehe, Master Qiao, you finally woke up." What's the matter, are you still used to it in this prison?"

Qiao Zhengyu's heart was shocked, and he hurriedly looked up, but saw a small window open next to the roof, and the shopkeeper's face was exposed from the outside.

"Shopkeeper, you and I have no grievances, why do you want to do this? Let me out!

Why use this indiscriminate means. Qiao Zhengyu got up and shouted at him.

The shopkeeper shook his head: "Hehe, Mr. Qiao is serious." In fact, it was not my intention to lock you up here, I was also ordered to do things, and I really couldn't help myself. I know that Qiao Gongzi is a bold person, if it weren't for the old man's life, I would rather be friends with Qiao Gongzi than hurt you. ”

Qiao Zhengyu was even more angry when he heard this, and said, "Shopkeeper, I don't listen to your reasons. Since you don't want to hurt me, please let me out first, this cell is so dark and small that it's almost suffocating me. ”

The shopkeeper was silent for a while, and said: "Master Qiao is a little restless, and wait patiently here, this matter needs to be carefully considered, the old man also acts according to orders, and cannot call the shots."

"I know that this prison is small and dark, and it is indeed uncomfortable. But Qiao Gongzi can rest assured, the old man promised you, you can just put forward what you need, as long as the old man can do it, I will try to help you achieve it, how about it?"

Qiao Zhengyu listened to his words full of entertainment and prevarication, knowing that it would be useless to say more, he shook his head and said: "Forget it, I don't think you can be the master, why waste saliva with you." That's fine, I'm so hungry now, you can bring me some food and drinks. ”

He only said that the shopkeeper was just talking casually, and he didn't take it seriously, he blurted it out, and he didn't take it seriously at all.

"Good, good. Wait a minute, Gongzi Qiao, I'll call someone to send it right away. The shopkeeper nodded in agreement, and after speaking, he flickered through the small window and lost his figure.

"Hmph, you used me as a three-year-old child, and you deceived me. Okay, I'll see what tricks you play. Qiao Zhengyu snorted secretly and sat down cross-legged.

After a while, I heard a "bang", and the small window on the roof was opened, and the shopkeeper's face appeared there again.

"Young Master Qiao, this is the wine and food you want, hurry up. I saw a basket tied to a rope, which was slowly lowered from the small window.

Qiao Zhengyu was stunned for a moment, and hurriedly got up to pick it up. When the basket was put down, it happened to fall into Qiao Zhengyu's hands, but when he saw a roast chicken, a plate of peanuts, and some beef in the basket, he was even more surprised.

"Wait a minute, this is still there, Master Qiao, you can take it. The shopkeeper dropped something from the small window, and Qiao Zhengyu caught it head-on, but it was a wine bottle.

"Osmanthus wine!" Qiao Zhengyu said overjoyedly, pulled out the cork, put it on his nose and sniffed it.

"How about it, Gongzi Qiao, I didn't lie to you. You enjoy it slowly, the old man still has something to do, so let's leave for the time being. Then I heard a "bang", and the small window closed again.

"The shopkeeper's 。。。。。。 Qiao Zhengyu wanted to stop him, but there was no sound at the window, and the shopkeeper had already walked away.

"Hmph, it's okay, if there is wine today and drunk today, whatever, let's eat and drink enough first. Qiao Zhengyu's heart gradually relaxed, and he immediately tore off a piece of chicken leg and ate it in a big gulp.

I don't know if it's because I'm really hungry, or if the food sent by the shopkeeper is delicious, and after a while, Qiao Zhengyu has eaten all the dishes.

"Well, I don't know when the shopkeeper will come again, I'll take care of it, I'll sleep first. ”

Although the prison was not big, a small bed was placed in the corner of the wall, and Qiao Zhengyu took half a bottle of osmanthus wine, staggered over, and then lay on the bed. He thought as he drank, thinking about almost everything he had just done.
