Jianghu Xiaobai Chapter 39 Cold-faced Scholar
The next day, before dawn, in a noisy noise, Lei Luo woke up leisurely, and before he could see the surrounding situation clearly, one by one fierce bandits walked into this cave.
"These are the latest ones, you guys take a look," the man who led yesterday reminded the bandits who had come in.
Lei Luo can see it, these bandits seem to be looking at the goods and began to pick Lei Luo and them one by one, if these men pick one, they will come over and ask them what they are, what work they have done at home, and so on.
At this moment, the man named Ah Leopard appeared at the entrance of the cave, and when the bandits saw it, they all shouted Brother Leopard, and then gave up their work to let this person choose first.
"Do any of you know how to heal, or have been medicine boys, if so, beckon Lao Tzu to do coolies!" the leopard brother greeted loudly when he came in, and at the same time looked at Lei Luo and them.
Seeing that no one around him reacted, Lei Luo's eyes rolled and he began to think, if he was selected by others, he couldn't say that he was doing odd jobs as a coolie, this leopard brother wanted to find someone who understood medical skills and medical science, and his status should be higher.
So he pretended to be submissive, but took a step forward, and then raised his hand in a 'trembling' at Brother Leopard.
The man called Brother Leopard didn't have any expectations at first, but when he saw a thin and dark teenager walking out, he was slightly surprised, but with the idea that something is better than nothing, he stepped forward and looked at the young man in front of him.
After confirming that the other party raised his hand, he spoke: "Are you kid sure you know how to heal?"
Although he doesn't know any medical skills, this question still needs to be asked clearly, otherwise it will be difficult to say it on the side of the second master.
"I've been a boy in a pharmacy in the city for a few years, and my family often goes to the mountains to collect medicine, and ordinary minor illnesses can be cured," Lei Luo whispered with a stiff and timid appearance.
He himself has to admire his acting skills, this appearance matches his age of thirteen or fourteen, but he really pretends to be presentable.
"Okay, it's you, kid, come with me!" Brother Leopard grabbed Lei Luo's head with one hand and led him towards the depths of the cave.
Now that someone has been chosen, this leopard brother is taking Lei Luo all the way forward, and the bandits along the way saw their duo, and they all politely shouted Brother Leopard, which shows that this person is really famous in this Black Wind Village.
When Brother Leopard took Lei Luo to the door of a two-person tall red wood, after Brother Leopard warned Lei Luo not to run around, he went in first, and then hung him out of the door.
After half an hour, Brother Leopard walked out of the wooden door, and after seeing Lei Luo still standing outside the door, he praised him: "Count you kid acquaintance!"
However, after rolling his eyes, he still did not feel at ease and instructed: "Here lives our second master, what he asks you later, you will answer, don't think about making up stories, once our second master finds out that you have a problem, you will cut off your hands and feet, and if you try medicine, you kid can understand!"
After Lei Luo said that he was 'sincerely afraid', he followed Brother Leopard into the residence of the second master of the Black Wind Village.
After walking through the big mahogany door, there is a small cave passageway, and in the stone wall of the passage has been carved out of a small square pit, which is full of some bronze ornaments, and after walking out of the corridor, you will come to a room like a living room.
In Lei Luo's opinion, this room can be said to be antique, with a layer of delicate blankets on the floor, several large mahogany chairs and wooden tables placed on both sides of the room, and an incense burner lit with incense behind the main seat.
On both sides of the main seat, there is a smaller wooden door, which is estimated to be connected to the other rooms, and the cold-faced scholar in the mouth of Brother Leopard is sitting on the main seat, holding a book in his hand, looking at it with relish.
If it weren't for the bandits' den here, Lei Luo would never regard the man dressed as a scholar in front of him as a bandit who kills people without blinking, no matter how he looks at it, this person is more like a teacher in a private school.
"The second master, this is the kid who knows a little bit about the art of herbs in the new batch of goods, please take a look," Brother Leopard didn't have the slightest bandit here, and respectfully asked the second master in front of him.
Hearing this, the cold-faced scholar put down the scroll in his hand, then raised his eyes and looked at Lei Luo from head to toe.
When he saw that Lei Luo looked like a peasant child doing farm work, his puzzled face flashed slightly, and there was a hint of unhappiness in his eyes.
"Second master, this kid said that he had been a medicine picker in the mountains for a few years, and he was a fellow who worked in a medicine store before he was arrested, so why don't you test him," Ah Leopard saw that the second master's eyes were wrong, and quickly explained to Lei Luo.
Just kidding, if this second-in-command is unhappy and thinks that he has done something wrong, let alone whether the kid in front of him can live, he probably will be punished.
"Well, that's what I mean," said the cold-faced scholar after twisting the mustache on his mouth with his hand.
With that, he got up and walked to one of the doors next to the main seat, not knowing what to prepare.
"Boy, give me a good performance, if something goes wrong, your life will be in danger, and Lao Tzu will be affected!" Ah Leopard also reminded fiercely at this time.
After a while, the cold-faced scholar walked out, holding three bottles and a book in his hand, and after putting these things on the table, he explained to Lei Luo: "The medicinal materials in these three bottles, you can distinguish them." ”
Hearing this, Lei Luo hurriedly walked to the table, opened one of the bottles, sniffed it on the tip of his nose and said, "This is golden orchid pollen, which can relieve headaches and insomnia, and has a calming effect." ”
After Lei Luo finished speaking, he took out the other two bottles in turn, and after smelling them again, he said: "The second bottle is blood clotting powder, which is used to treat trauma, and the third bottle is the powder of orange leaf grinding, which is mainly used to treat fire." ”
Fortunately, Lan Jushi has a wealth of medical classics, and these are all conventional medicines, so he can tell them when he smells them.
"Yes, you can also read this book, read the first page to me, and you can't make a mistake in a single word!"
For Lei Luo to be able to distinguish the three kinds of medicinal powders so quickly, the second master nodded with satisfaction, and then handed the book to Lei Luo.
After Lei Luo took the book, he began to read according to it, and after reading the first page for a while, he respectfully placed the book on the table, waiting for the next step to see what else the second master had to teach.
"Well, this kid is good, he will follow me in the future, Ah Leopard, you did a good job this time," the cold-faced scholar said after seeing that Lei Luo had no problem this time.
"It's a small honor to be able to do things for the second master!" Ah Bao immediately replied respectfully.
"Okay, it's none of your business here, go to the treasury and get a reward of ten taels, this is a reward for you," the cold-faced scholar nodded and said slowly.
"Thank you, the second master, Ah Leopard retired!" Ah Leopard was overjoyed in his heart, but said respectfully as usual.
The second master waved his hand to see Lei Luo coming forward, and then he took out a small bottle from his arms, and after pouring a small black pill from the bottle, he motioned for Lei Luo to eat the pill.
"It's not time to turn around at this time, if this second leader dies in my hands now, then I have no way of knowing their plan, so I can only endure it first, but is this pill poison or what?"
Lei Luo thought about it in his heart for a long time, and finally after weighing the pros and cons, he still chose not to make a move, and under the gaze of the other party, he reached out and took the small black pill and swallowed it in one gulp.
After the pill was swallowed, his face was painful, but the pain disappeared quickly, and after a while, the pain disappeared, and his complexion returned to normal.
After seeing that Lei Luo honestly did not resist, the cold-faced scholar nodded with satisfaction, and then said: "Yes, you kid is very knowledgeable about current affairs, you will follow me to do things in the future, and I will not treat you badly." ”
After seeing that Lei Luo didn't have any overreaction, the second master reminded again: "I am the only one who understands medical skills in Black Wind Village, and I also brought a medicine boy before, but that kid is not honest, he thought he had found the antidote to the Diamond Heart Gu and wanted to sneak out, but the result was naturally poisoned to death, and the corpse was also gnawed by wild beasts in the mountain, as long as you follow me well, no one here will embarrass you!"
"The little one will never do such an irrational thing, please rest assured," Lei Luo quickly replied respectfully after hearing this.
Seeing Lei Luo go up like this, the second master didn't say anything, and then he walked into the room again, and after a while, he came out with a few books in his hand, and threw his head away, and then took Lei Luo out of the cave and walked outside.
The cold-faced scholar found a clean cave for Lei Luo near his residence, saying that he would be in his room in the future and that he would be on call in the future.
Then he told Lei Luo to read these books carefully, and in two days he had to take an assessment, and after doing this, he walked away to run errands.
After Lei Luo walked into this small cave, which was only two or three feet long, he looked at his 'residence', there was only a table, chair and bed, because the cave was not big, it seemed quite compact.
He confirmed whether there was anyone around, and when he saw that there was no movement nearby, he hurriedly put the book on the table, and then with a move of his right hand, Sombra automatically appeared in his hand, but this time there was a small air-dried insect on the surface of Sombra, which was black and shriveled and adsorbed on Sombra.
It turned out that when he ate the pill, the Gu worm in the pill ran out and drilled towards Lei Luo's heart, but when he just started drilling, Heijing sensed it, and directly sucked the Gu worm, and as soon as the Gu worm touched Heijing, it was directly sucked dry and died.
"This is that Drill Heart Gu, it seems that the other party thinks they will eat me, hehe," Lei Luo sneered after looking at the insect corpse on Sombra.
He blew lightly, and the corpse of the little worm drifted away like grains of sand in the wind.
After doing this, Lei Luo took out all the books and began to study them slowly.
