Chapter Eighty-Four: Two Petitions of Nomination (Part II)
Liu Tugou walked slowly on the long street of Xiandengzhai, and didn't go far before he saw Lu E's medical hall.
He hesitated, but stepped in, bypassing the front hall with a human skin table and into the backyard, which was covered with various herbs.
The sun shone obliquely into the courtyard, and the air was filled with the smell of herbs.
The little medicine boy was picking up a basket of herbs from the shelf, and when he heard the footsteps, he turned his head to see that it was Liu Tugou, and his face showed a hint of surprise.
"Your knife is fiercer. The little medicine boy's immature voice sounded.
The second master smiled warmly: "Yes, I also think it's a little fierce, so what can I do?"
Qiji frowned and thought about it, raised his head and said very seriously: "Mr. taught me a set of 'warm swallowing water', which can slowly breathe in, I will teach you, you can teach you the knife again, let it converge a little, do you think it is good?"
Liu Tugou's smile was even brighter: "Of course, you're such a friend, I can't be stingy." I have a set of 'Sick Tiger Forging Body Three Styles', which is very interesting, so I will teach it to you as a return gift. ”
Qi Ji did not rush to answer, but asked with great interest: "Sick Tiger, what disease does it have?" Although I call it Qi Ji, I have not learned all the knowledge of my husband, otherwise I would have cured it. ”
At the mention of Lu E, the little medicine boy's spiritual little face couldn't help but reveal a touch of gloom.
He put down the medicine basket in his hand and reached for his waist.
Only then did Liu Tugou discover that there was a smooth and round skull hanging from the waist of the little medicine boy's robe, which was passed through the hollow in the eye socket with a thin hemp rope, and hung obliquely upside down.
The little medicine boy picked up the human skull and touched it very nostalgically, quite sadly thinking about things.
Sure enough, he really deserves to be the little medicine boy next to the white-haired ghost doctor, and if he walks the rivers and lakes over time, he will definitely be regarded as a first-class demon.
Liu Tugou was a little ridiculous: "When your medical skills are completed one day, I will take you to see the sick tiger, as for what the disease is, I don't know, anyway, it is quite thin, the hair is dry and shiny, and I am sick all day long, listless." ”
The little medicine boy put down the human skull, nodded and said, "Mr. said to Captain Lu Baiqi before he died, if you want me to follow you, what will I call you in the future, also sir?"
Liu Tugou was stunned for a moment, and then said angrily: "What's the name of Mr., isn't this a curse for the second master!"
He groaned: "Well, it's okay to call the second master, if you call the second brother, Yang Xiongji's guy will definitely annoy me to death." ”
"II...... Then I'll teach you 'warm water' now?"
Liu Tugou shook his head: "This is not in a hurry, you pack up and salute, and go to Jizhou with me in three days, there is time on the way." ”
Hearing this, the little medicine boy nodded, didn't ask much, turned around and entered the house unhurriedly, and left the second master in the yard.
Liu Tugou shook his head with a smile, turned around and said, "Since you're here, let's all come in." ”
Boss Yu, Ren Xichou and Zhang Jinbei walked into the backyard one after another, and the three hundred horsemen did not go far, but kept waiting for Liu Tugou and Captain Liu not far away.
Ren Xichou bowed and said respectfully: "I have seen the captain of the school!"
Zhang Jinbei clenched his fists and bowed without humility or arrogance, but did not speak.
Boss Yu didn't care about giving a gift, and said eagerly: "Brother Liu...... Master Liu, Chang Junmen is unloading the mill and killing the donkey, he went to Jizhou, and he is not familiar with the place, how dangerous it is! I think the eight achievements are caused by Li Songqi behind his back, he almost lost the first Dengzhai, and almost caused a mutiny, and killed the second child, but he was only demoted to the right lieutenant and exposed, he must hold a grudge and always try to take revenge!"
Ren Xichou snorted and said: "Boss Yu, your brother died unjustly, everyone sees it, and the captain will naturally remember it in his heart, but since it is Chang Junmen who wants to protect Li Songqi, this matter can only end here, don't make it difficult for adults." ”
Boss Yu was furious: "The surname is Ren, I talk to the adult, what kind of mouth are you inserting? It is not your brother who died, of course you don't have a backache when you stand and talk! But don't forget, your brother's death is still your share! Don't think that if you hug the adult's thick legs, you dare to yell at me, and if you want to bully people, you have asked more than 100 brothers in the first banner first!"
Ren Xichou sneered: "Otherwise, you and I have done it?"
Liu Tugou hurriedly stepped forward and said: "Okay, okay, Boss Yu died of his brother, which is naturally uncomfortable, so Brother Ren will tolerate it." Boss Yu, please forbear for the time being, there may not be a day of revenge in the future. ”
Elder Yu was greatly disappointed, and sneered gloomily: "My lord, the great Inspiration Sect Master, don't you dare to stand up for your subordinates? If the Lord can kill Li Songqi, why not sell your life to the First Banner!"
Ren Xichou was about to speak again, but was stopped by Liu Tugou waving his hand.
The three people in front of them were originally at the same level as the second master, but now they have suddenly become subordinates, and both sides have not adapted to this change quickly, for the second master, it is much more difficult to deal with this relationship than to draw a knife and cut people.
He was a little confused, so he looked at Zhang Jinbei, who had never spoken, and said: "Third Brother Zhang, the foundation of Daqimen is in Youzhou, if you don't want to go to Jizhou, you should ask Old Master Zhang to talk to Chang Junmen earlier." ”
Zhang Jinbei shook his head and said: "Daqimen can't always nest in Youzhou, Gongsun Long's Haidong Gang has done the business in Shuofang, and they don't come to be rude." ”
Daqimen showed great hostility to the Haidong Gang from the beginning, and when he started to fight Grass Valley, it was called a decisive killing.
Liu Tugou didn't know what was going on between Daqimen and Gongsun Long, but one was a land snake and the other was a river dragon, so they didn't deal with it after all
He nodded and asked, "The Fifth Banner is Li Songqi's people, and he must not follow us, what about the remaining vacancies and the candidates for the Hundred Cavalry Commander of the Fifth Banner?"
Zhang Jinbei said calmly: "There is no shortage of heroes in Daqimen, it only depends on whether the adults have the heart to tolerate people, in addition, Dong Dashao has his back against the big tree of the captain of Yueqi, and there is no shortage of elite horses on the grassland in the family." ”
"Second master, the luggage has been packed. ”
He walked out of the door, carrying a bamboo medicine box, which was a lot taller than him.
This is also a relic of Lu E, said to be a medicine box, except for the strong smell of herbs, in fact, it is more like a bookbox commonly used by scholars to study, divided into several layers, it doesn't look heavy, and I don't know what is put in.
"The matter of the Fifth Banner will be discussed again, and the three elder brothers will go back to rectify the trilogy first, and they can come to me at any time if there is anything, and they will leave on time at sunrise in three days. ”
Liu Tugou said goodbye to the three hundred horsemen, and then walked to his courtyard with the abandonment.
The little medicine boy with a human skull hanging on his waist glanced back at the medical hall where he had lived since he was a child, but he didn't see much sadness on his face.
His breath was long and distant, almost inaudible, attracting the most pure and peaceful aura in heaven and earth.
The little medicine boy is strange and intelligent, and after learning to "swallow warm water", he will study diligently day after day, until it becomes an instinct that will not change when eating and sleeping.
Liu Tugou looked up at the line of spiritual energy pillar, and couldn't help but smile.
There is such a successor, and the "snake swallowing elephant" that Lu Er created but did not complete the work may not be able to shine and amaze the world one day.
