Chapter 298: Sixty-Nine: Medicated Bath
"Are you sure?"
"Of course. ”
Guo Xiaodao looked at the wooden barrel in front of him with a blue face, although the knife reached in just now, although he didn't know what was going on, but from the knife's current attitude and sympathetic eyes looking at him, it seemed that he was going to ask what style of coffin he liked in the next sentence, and he knew that it would definitely not be good to go in.
After estimating and making a comparison, Guo Xiaodao found that this wooden barrel was just right for him to put in, which showed that the shopkeeper was preparing for himself to squat in at the beginning.
Guo Xiaodao swallowed his saliva with difficulty, listened to the tumbling sound of boiling water in the barrel, and looked at the shopkeeper with tentative eyes again, but what he got was the shopkeeper's unquestionable eyes.
"Don't worry. Seeing Guo Xiaodao's face turning blue and trembling, the shopkeeper spoke: "This movement is not small, but it is indeed not boiling water in the barrel, have you ever heard of a medicinal bath?"
Guo Xiaodao raised his eyebrows, of course he knew that when he was still in Wolong Mountain, Lao Guo often cooked medicinal baths for him, and often a bucket of medicinal baths was washed out of the body, and the barrel was already turbid, in Lao Guo's words, everyone has fine pores, and the role of fine pores is like the nostrils, the fine pores will absorb the dirty things in the air into the body when breathing, and the medicinal bath is to use a mild stimulation method to stimulate the sperm pores on the body surface to discharge these dirty things.
"Don't fool me. Guo Xiaodao had an expression of "I've seen the world, don't lie to me": "I know that medicinal baths use gentle means to stimulate the body to eliminate filth and dirt, so as to play the role of refining the body, but the movement in your bucket is so big, where is it gentle?"
The shopkeeper raised the corners of his mouth: "Who told you that I have that kind of medicinal bath?"
What Guo Xiaodao is talking about is the kind of medicinal bath that eliminates the dirt on the surface of the body and assists in the condensation and tempering of qi and blood, which is also the general understanding of the medicinal bath on the rivers and lakes, and the medicinal bath used by the pharmacist to dispel poison, but the medicinal bath only relies on boiling water to send the medicinal properties of the drug into the body by boiling when the body is breathing, and the barrel of the shopkeeper's medicinal bath is relatively much more stimulating than those conventional medicinal baths.
In a word......
"Can't you get in?"
Just when Guo Xiaodao was still grinding and chirping, the shopkeeper was already impatient, and he rolled up his sleeves: "Why don't I help you?" said and made a knife movement.
Guo Xiaodao subconsciously protected the back of his neck when he saw the shopkeeper's gesture of drawing a knife, and the memory of being forced to sleep by the shopkeeper before is still there, and until now I feel a faint pain in the back of my neck when I think about it.
In desperation, Guo Xiaodao set his eyes on everyone, but he didn't know it, which frightened Guo Xiaodao to take a few steps back.
Mo Xiaoxiao was very excited because he saw the actual operation of the ancient recipes in his ancient books for the first time, and Ning Shisan was pure curiosity, and Ning Shisan's methods that he had never seen before in the Ning family made Ning Shisan look forward to the performance of cooking living people, and the two of them seemed to only need the shopkeeper's words to help without hesitation.
And Bai Xiaosheng, as a recorder, was even more excited when he encountered this kind of method that he had never seen before, and he couldn't help himself, I have to say that the reporters were all guys who were loyal to their desires, Bai Xiaosheng was holding the mace in his hand that he didn't know which unlucky ghost candidate had collected during the chivalry qualification assessment, and he had already begun to gesture at the back of Guo Xiaodao's head, looking like as long as Guo Xiaodao dared to escape, he would start to arrest him back and knock him out and throw him into the bucket.
Mo Xiaoxiao, Ning Shisan, and Bai Xiaosheng formed a triangular lineup and gradually approached Guo Xiaodao, forcing Guo Xiaodao step by step in the direction of the barrel, while the shopkeeper was waiting for Guo Xiaodao to throw himself into the net with a smile in his hands.
Seeing that he couldn't resist, Guo Xiaodao had no choice but to accept his fate and said to the shopkeeper: "You swear I won't burp when I go in." ”
The shopkeeper looked kind and wealthy: "Look at what you said, I have signed a contract with your uncle, and even if I have an accident during the effective period of the contract, I can't let you have an accident, I am a businessman with a very contractual spirit." ”
Hearing the shopkeeper mention the contract again, Guo Xiaodao's heart moved.
Although the shopkeeper has been tossing himself all the way in the name of training and teaching for so long, he really hasn't let himself really be in danger, the most dangerous time is the one against the desolate snake, but even the shopkeeper is standing aside and sweeping the field, although Guo Xiaodao doesn't know how the shopkeeper's martial arts cultivation is, but when he is entangled with the desolate snake, he can obviously feel that the desolate snake is still afraid and defensive about the shopkeeper.
And all of this stems from the so-called "contract".
The word "contract" seems to be the hometown dialect of the shopkeeper, and the meaning seems to be the meaning of entrustment, and Mr. Umbrella and everyone who wanted to win over Guo Xiaodao's shopkeeper also stood up for this reason.
At that time, Guo Xiaodao felt that Mr. Umbrella and everyone had an inexplicable thirst for himself, although the emotions hidden in his eyes were very hidden, Guo Xiaodao's unusual intuition told him that if it wasn't for the shopkeeper's side-kick, he might not be forcibly taken away.
"What did my uncle entrust you?" Guo Xiaodao was very curious, originally thought that Lao Guo's entrustment to the shopkeeper was only to help Guo Xiaodao pass the chivalrous qualification assessment, but Guo Xiaodao found that the shopkeeper's mind on himself was completely beyond this range, just like being taught and trained by Lao Guo in the small village of Wolong Mountain, and Guo Xiaodao did feel that he was gradually getting stronger in some aspect from the so-called "marathon" and "chaotic fist training".
Although the way is messy, inexplicably it is.
"Don't say. The shopkeeper stretched out his index finger and gestured at his mouth, which was already the appearance of being kind and wealthy: "The contract between me and the customer has a confidentiality policy, and I am a serious businessman." After that, he rolled up his sleeves and said with a smile: "After talking nonsense for a long time, do you go in by yourself or will I help you in?"
Guo Xiaodao made a swing because of the inexplicable power exuded by the shopkeeper, knowing that he would not escape this catastrophe today, he consciously untied his clothes, leaving only a pair of pants, reached out to grab the edge of the bucket, hooked his neck and looked inside, but before he could see it clearly, he felt that his buttocks were hit by something, and then his body lost his balance and involuntarily leaned forward and fell into the bucket, and the water in the bucket rose after Guo Xiaodao entered the water, which happened to be level with the mouth of the bucket.
Before he surfaced, Guo Xiaodao only felt that the top of his head was dark.
Guo Xiaodao was stunned in his heart: Sure enough, there are moths!
