Since he decided to participate in the Great Dynasty Examination, Qiao Guang naturally had to prepare, and he couldn't travel thousands of miles empty-handed, even if it wasn't for Shi Lezhi, he would take pills before he went to the capital.

Qiao Guang first returned to his small grass house, as the saying goes, the golden nest and silver nest are not as good as their own kennels, Qiao Guang does not have the tens of millions of grass houses as the poet said, and he has not been able to purchase a building to make everyone happy, and in the more than a year since he came to the mushroom village, Qiao Guang hastily built a hut, not seeking prosperity but sheltering from the wind and rain.

Qiao Guang first picked up the little fat cat who was resting in the pyre, the kitten was sleeping sweetly, and suddenly woke up from a sweet dream, and found that he was grabbed by a stinky man with a delicate body, "meow" shouted, stretched out his paws to grab Qiao Guang.

Qiao Guang slapped its paw away with one hand, and was about to throw it out of the window, and the kitten meowed in fright and begged for mercy. Qiao Guang said: "Okay, you dog thing with no conscience, oh no, cat thing, more wolf than a white-eyed wolf, ask yourself, when has I had a bowl of porridge to drink in this year and have less than your share?

The fat cat obediently didn't dare to move.

Qiao Guang put the cat on the bed, stared at it and said: "Fat cat, I'm leaving, leave early tomorrow morning, you have to take care of a cat, don't stay in my house, no one will feed you, you have to learn to catch mice and eat them yourself." ”

The fat cat's eyes widened, and he didn't know if he was surprised that Qiao Guang was about to leave or if he was thinking about what he would do with three meals a day in the future.

Qiao Guang ignored it, walked out of the door, and shouted towards the stone house opposite: "Hu Da Hammer, Hu Da Hammer!"

A dark-skinned young man jumped down from the roof, really holding a hammer in his hand, he ran to Qiao Guang and asked, "Brother Qiao, what do you want me to do?"

To be honest, Qiao Guang was really a little stressed in the face of this kind of man who was more than eight feet tall, and he had to stand on tiptoe to pat his shoulder, as if he could be lifted up and beaten.

Qiao Guang stood on tiptoe and patted Hu Dazhui on the shoulder, a little awkward, Hu Dazhui deliberately bent down in order to take care of Qiao Guang, which made Qiao Guang very embarrassed, coughed twice to cover up the past, and said: "Sledgehammer, I'm going to go on a long trip, I want to ask you to help me do something." ”

Hu Da Hammer slapped his strong chest muscles with his fist and said, "What's the problem, if Brother Qiao has anything to do, just ask." ”

Qiao Guang untied the bone knife he was carrying behind him, threw it over, and said: "I know that your iron striking skills are very good, help me make a scabbard, and you will see the materials, as long as you don't shake it and be stabbed through this knife, it's quite sharp." ”

Hu Da Hammer took the bone knife, weighed it, it was not heavy, the workmanship was extremely rough, and there was only one advantage in the whole body, that is, it was sharp, although it failed to cut the hair like mud, but it was far sharper than ordinary knives.

"Okay, leave it to me, I can't help you prepare anything when you go out, even if I give you this scabbard, I won't charge money. Hu Dazhui said with a smile.

Qiao Guang smiled: "Then trouble you, sledgehammer." Oh yes, there's one more thing, if you have time, you can come to my house and help me see if the dead fat cat can find something to eat, and feed it if he's hungry, here's my key. ”

Seeing that Qiao Guang had directly given him all the keys to his house, Hu Da Hammer was a little moved when he trusted him so much, and said, "Sledgehammer guarantees to complete the task!"

After explaining the matter of the scabbard and the fat cat, Qiao Guang came to Huahua Pavilion at the next stop.

Well...... It is where Aunt Wang lives, and it is also the only place in the village where you can buy medicinal herbs, Qiao Guang has no extra spirit stones, he has never had the leisure time to come here before, and the herbs he picked back are not enough for his own use, and he will not think about selling them to Huahua Pavilion. So this is Qiao Guang's first time here.

"Aunt Wang, are you here, I'm here to patronize!" Qiao Guang shouted when he entered the door, and suddenly saw a woman behind the counter, with her hair combed in a small bun, her face like a brocade, her autumn eyes were moving, and she was wearing a light green robe. After she heard Qiao Guang's shouting, the slender fingers that were tapping the abacus paused.

Qiao Guang looked at the woman, her mouth stayed at the last syllable of the sentence just now, opened wide, and suddenly realized that she was a little out of shape, withdrew, looked at the plaque on the door, it was indeed written "Huahua Pavilion" Yes, she walked in again, and asked in a low voice: "Girl, may I ask if Aunt Wang is there? I will buy medicinal herbs." ”

The woman snorted, smiled, and said, "My mother went out to buy something, and I'll be back later." ”

"Oh, dare to ask the girl's name?"

"I'm Xixi, Hu Xixi, I've always stayed in the house and rarely went out, maybe you haven't seen me. Sissy laughed.

Lao Tzu must know that there is such a flower-like yellow flower girl here, and he has to find an excuse to come a few more times when he says anything, but unfortunately he is leaving now, alas, life......

Qiao Guang walked over and handed her a list of the series of medicinal herbs she needed, considering the small size of the store, Qiao Guang did not write down a lot of rare and precious medicinal materials, they were all relatively common, but the amount was more, Qiao Guang alone couldn't do so much, so he thought about buying it.

"Insect lead, dog leash...... There are a lot of medicinal herbs in it, Childe, you wrote it yourself, do you know this?" asked Sissy as she looked at the list carefully.

Qiao Guang looked at her in surprise and asked rhetorically, "You are young and understand their effects?"

Xixi smiled: "My mother usually doesn't let me go out, just to let me read the herbs at home, so I still know a little bit about fur." But the number you want is a bit too much, and you have to see if there is enough. I'll do the math, huh...... There are a total of 372 low-grade spirit stones, do you swipe the spirit card or scan the spirit stone to pay?"

"What?three hundred and seventy-two?" Qiao Guang said in astonishment.

"Hey, yes, I wasn't mistaken. Sissy did the math again to make sure she wasn't wrong.

Qiao Guang smacked his tongue, the cost of these herbs is less than thirty inferior spirit stones, this is too tricky, no wonder people often say that those who pick herbs are not as good as those who sell herbs, and those who sell herbs are not as good as those who sell pills, it is really a million profits!

Qiao Guang stopped Xixi's behavior and said with a smile: "Girl, the account shouldn't be counted like this, you have to think about it, although I may not be able to give you so many spirit stones at once, I can help you do other things, this is much more important than spirit stones." ”

"Oh, for example?" asked Sissy curiously.

"For example, I can make sure that your chickens will never be stolen again!" Qiao Guang swore assimilationally.

Cissy narrowed her eyes and asked, "You mean, you're the one who keeps stealing my chickens?"

Qiao Guang hurriedly waved his hand to deny it, and said, "How is it possible! Girl, you think too much, and listen to me speak slowly for you." That day I went up the mountain to collect medicine, I saw a man in black, holding a rooster in his hand, I fixed my eyes and felt that the chicken was very familiar, and then I thought, isn't this the cute little rooster of my beloved Aunt Wang's house?

Cissy looked adoring and asked, "Is it really fake?"

Qiao Guang waved his hand, looking like it was not a big deal, and said: "Small things, small things, if you see him again in the future and report the name of my little overlord in the capital, he will definitely not dare to steal your chickens again!"

"Hmm!" Sissy nodded.

Suddenly, Aunt Wang threw a big chicken leg in front of Qiao Guang, and sneered: "What about the little bully in the capital, the little chicken bully is almost the same, and you still want to kidnap my daughter?"

Aunt Wang turned to Xixi and said: "Daughter, don't believe the man's broken mouth, your dead ghost father back then, that is, you only look outside the door and don't come in, and then ...... And then there is you!" Aunt Wang said with a handful of snot and tears, Xixi's face was red, and she whispered to blame Aunt Wang.

Aunt Wang said firmly: "Bring the spirit stone, otherwise there is nothing to say." ”

Qiao Guang hurriedly said: "Don't you want to invest in a promising young man with infinite potential? This is a lot more than a few hundred spirit stones!"

"I don't want to, it's still the spirit stone is real, and if there is no spirit stone, let me go. ”

......

In the end, Qiao Guang emptied the only thirty or so spirit stones on his body and took back the herbs that had shrunk ten times compared to the original estimate.

Qiao Guang had a dark face, and secretly scolded this woman for really having long hair and short knowledge, and she didn't do anything with this kind of investment that was obviously profitable, and she was angry! Looking at the pitifully shrunken herb, Qiao Guang wanted to cry without tears, so he could only look at it step by step.

After buying the herbs, Qiao Guang went to Grandpa Hu's house to buy some coils, Grandpa Hu heard that Qiao Guang was going to Beijing to catch the exam, and almost didn't hold a farewell party for him, but Qiao Guang refused, Grandpa Hu couldn't go away, and stuffed a lot of coils for Qiao Guang to take home.

Hu Da Hammer made a scabbard out of stainless steel, and gave it to Qiao Guang at night, Qiao Guang looked at it and was very satisfied.

On the last night in Shiitake Village, Qiao Guang couldn't sleep in bed, and the fat cat with no conscience rarely got into his arms, accompanied him in a daze, and endured Qiao Guang's not-so-beautiful singing.

"People are floating in the rivers and lakes~ How can they not be stabbed? How can they often be stabbed~"
