Volume 1: The Beginning of Yunxuan Chapter 1: The Boy of White Frost City
Thirty-six years after the city was founded, an autumn rain took away the residual heat of summer.
White Frost City is a small city located in the south of Yunxuan Kingdom, the city wall is built of white stone, and it is as white as frost from a distance, so it is named. Although the city is small, the people are simple, and everyone lives and works in peace and contentment, of course...... There are exceptions.
"Long Wenmu is here! Long Wenmu is here!" On the peaceful street, I don't know whose loud voice shouted an earth-shattering sound.
The crowd parted in a panic, looking at a certain part of the street, and in the distance, a figure strolled in.
Long Wenmu, 17 years old.
The young boy is not tall or short, fat and thin, with a barely straight back, not outstanding in all aspects, and a slightly handsome face.
A dazzling golden gown, with long flowing hair tied back at will, and a dragon and tiger step under his feet. Hand cranked a folding fan, and the fan surface was huge with a few ink words "The dragon is coming from the moon", which has no showmanship at all.
Dressed indecently, behaving somewhere between bohemian and pretentious, almost everyone knows that the young man of the Long family has come to swagger through the market again.
Long Wenmu is not a native of White Frost City. Three years ago, there was an unprecedented beast tide in the south that shocked the entire Yunxuan Kingdom, when countless demon beasts rioted, the population of White Frost City was turbulent when it was chaotic, some people left and some people came to settle here, Long Wenmu came to White Frost City at that time.
When he was still young, he settled here, and he didn't know where he got a sum of money to buy a mansion and named it "Dragon Mansion", and since then he has been calling himself "Young Master of the Long Family".
The title of "Long Shao" also began to spread throughout White Frost City at that time.
In a small city like White Frost City, there are not many rich and noble families, and Long Wenmu is one of the best.
No one knows the origin of Long Wenmu, and no one knows his life experience, no one knows why the young man who came here in the first place has such financial resources, the only thing he knows is that since he settled here for three years, he has relied on his style of acting to provoke the anger and resentment of the people of White Frost City.
He is not a great traitor, and he has not done anything to hurt nature and reason, but there is only one thing - to attract hatred.
Long Wenmu shook the folding fan and stepped into the door of the pharmacy.
"Pin Yao Xuan" is the only pharmacy in White Frost City, usually business is booming, at this time the guests gather in the lobby, the pharmacy shopkeeper and the small staff are very busy.
The eight-character bearded shopkeeper was busy with sweat, and when he heard the movement at the door, he looked up, and his old face suddenly distorted, which was better than eating coptis.
"Old Hu, don't come unharmed. Long Wenmu stepped forward with a big grin.
"Long Wenmu...... Why are you here again?" shopkeeper Hu slapped his forehead, scolding in his heart.
Long Wenmu put away the folding fan, pushed it on the counter with one hand, and reached out to pinch the mustache of the shopkeeper: "I haven't seen you for a few days, your two mustaches are getting longer and more beautiful." ”
Shopkeeper Hu slapped his hand away, and his two eyebrows raised vigorously.
"Move your hands and feet, there are no rules!"
"Why is Hu Lao so outside, you are all old acquaintances, I see that you look good today, what happy event have you encountered?"
"Happy events? There are no happy events, but there are a lot of bad luck. The shopkeeper snorted and squinted at him.
"Forget it, I won't tell you more, grab the medicine. Long Wenmu reached out and slapped a prescription on the table.
"It is not good to harm anyone, you come to harm me every day. The shopkeeper Hu raised his eyebrows, and was indignant verbally, but he still picked up all the medicinal materials in three times and five by two.
"Shopkeeper Hu, you can't say that, Ben Shao doesn't rob the house, how can you talk about the scourge, don't I come to take care of your business every day." ”
"Less nonsense, fifty copper. Shopkeeper Hu clearly didn't want to say more to him, so the medicinal herbs were wrapped in oiled paper and thrown on the table.
Long Wenmu stretched out his hand to take it, swept it in his hand, and frowned slightly: "We have all known each other for a long time, I think this package of medicinal materials is ...... Up to five coppers. If you sell me fifty copper, you are not righteous. ”
Shopkeeper Hu really wanted to knock him on his head. Does he think it's cabbage?
"If you want to buy it, buy it, don't buy it. "Shopkeeper Hu didn't give him a good face at all. What kind of character Long Wenmu is in this fang, that is known to passers-by. If you want to say who is the thickest-skinned, the most brazen, and the most annoying in the city, it is this person.
Wen Mu, this name is elegant, but the person with this name is not elegant at all.
Long Wenmu cheekily raced across the city wall, revealing a thief smile: "Old Hu, you touch your conscience and say, Ben Shao has not taken care of your business." ”
"Take care?" "You have been in my White Frost City for three years, and my pharmacy was in full swing three years ago, since you came, how many people are there in my place?"
"Old Hu, you're not right. Long Wenmu waved his hand again and again, and said seriously with an innocent face, "There is no one in your pharmacy, what does it have to do with me?"
"It has nothing to do with you, if you hadn't been messing around every time you came, I would be so lonely here?"
Long Wenmu listened to the blood and tears of the shopkeeper Hu's accusations, pinched his nose, and pretended not to hear. Smash it, smash it, and then lean up again, and said with a shallow smile: "Old Hu, I have accepted your love over the years, and Ben Shao can't help it, so I'll help you......"
After that, he trotted to a woman who was buying medicine: "This is not Aunt Li, you also buy medicine, what a coincidence." Let me tell you, this Boss Hu is really a good person. He is honest and honest, and he is not deceitful, you have come here to buy medicine in the right place...... Eh, Aunt Li, what are you running, I haven't finished talking yet...... Isn't this Brother Zhang, hahahaha, you and my brothers are fateful, we can meet here, and I can buy the medicine of Hu's family, that is really a blessing from the previous life, do you want me to give you some guidance...... Eh, what are you going to do, let's talk about it again......"
"You're enough!" Watching Long Wenmu get in and out of the crowd like a loach, the shopkeeper slammed the table and slapped the chair after slapping the table.
Shameless, such a scourge, it is really difficult to come out in a hundred years, and he is the one who is talking about the wind and smell.
Just as Long Wenmu had just drilled into the crowd with a dead face, Shopkeeper Hu saw five or six people who wanted to buy medicine leave in a hurry, obviously not wanting to get close to him. Shopkeeper Hu wants to strangle him. Is it easy to do a business, the shopkeeper Hu is heartache half to death, heartache, stomach pain, liver pain, toothache.
What kind of sin did you create, just put on such a stinky and shameless thing.
"Five coppers will be sold to you, take the things and get out quickly, and I will break your legs again!" The shopkeeper Hu almost collapsed the table, and his face was sallow with anger.
Long Wenmu was overjoyed when he heard this, and threw away the medicine bag in his hand: "Haha, I know that Hu Lao has a knife mouth and tofu heart...... Uh, by the way, the medicinal herbs you gave me are not short of catties, right?"
"Get out!" Shopkeeper Hu was furious, grabbed a teacup next to him and threw it over.
Long Wenmu, although this fang is not a great traitor, nor has he done heinous things, but this kind of person, as long as he is there, people, ghosts, gods and Buddhas will not be at peace.
still responded to that sentence, this goods will be hated wherever it goes.
Long Wenmu raised his palm lightly, usually looking like a wandering skeleton, but I have to say that he occasionally shows incomprehensible skills. Fingers lightly tap on the body of the cup, and with a casual turn of the hand, the cup is taken into your arms.
Although Long Wenmu claimed to be the eldest of the Long family, he actually had no relatives or teachers in White Frost City, and no one knew where he learned this incredible skill.
By the time everyone reacted, the others had disappeared at the door.
Only a fluttering sentence came from outside the door: "Thank you Hu Lao for giving me a cup, Ben Shao will come again next time." ”
Although it is a small city, it also has a prosperous scene.
In front of a mansion on West Street, Long Wenmu carried a fat rooster that kept calling in his right hand, and returned with a large bag and a small bag in his left hand.
The mansion is the largest building on West Street, and the plaque on the door has the word "Dragon Mansion" written on the pen and snake.
"The young master is back. Long Wenmu raised his foot and kicked open the door, "Where is the girl? ”
As he shouted, he heard footsteps in the distance, and a shadow ran around the corner.
The lilac dress swayed in the wind, reflecting the bright sunshine, and the green silk swayed, with a refreshing softness. A slightly slender figure appeared in front of Long Wenmu.
It was a little girl of thirteen or fourteen years old, with bright eyes and bright teeth, pretty cheeks, not tall, but she looked extremely energetic.
Although it has not yet grown like a green jujube, it already has the prototype of a beauty.
She wasn't gorgeously dressed, but she was clean and tidy. The spring is bright and bright, and the purple swallow comes to the nest.
"Young Master, you're back. The little girl's voice is as crisp and pleasant as a yellow warbler out of the valley.
"Night, don't be stunned, carry things. Long Wenmu couldn't get out of his hand, and kicked the door with a flick of his heel.
Ye Wan'er sighed lightly, and stepped forward to help Long Wenmu carry a few things: "Young master, where did you go to make so many things?"
Long Wenmu had a large bag in his hand stacked a large bag as high as a person, just by looking at it, he knew that the weight was going to die, but Long Wenmu lifted the weight as if it were light, as if there was nothing.
"Ben Shao is happy. Long Wenmu smiled, and shook the fat chicken in his hand like showing off, "The fattest one I chose, I bought it for six copper coins, how about it?"
Ye Yan glanced at him and pouted: "Normal trading, this is at least thirty copper coins, young master, you really don't know why the people in White Frost City hate you? I've been your maid for so long, and there's no light on my face at all. ”
"Don't talk nonsense, you still complain about having chicken soup to drink tonight, what do you think Ben Shao is talking about dry tongue outside. ”
"To take advantage of a small advantage. Ye Yan squinted at Long Wenmu and broke it mercilessly.
Yeqi, the only maid in the entire Long family. I met Long Wenmu three years ago, and came to White Frost City with Long Wenmu, and since then I have always regarded myself as a personal maid. In the past three years, An Xianzi has not experienced much, but because of the name of his own young master, he has eaten a lot.
The two of them walked through the empty courtyard one after the other, quiet and elegant, only a few sparrows on the treetops chirped non-stop, and they were not too tired.
The huge Long family, one of the best mansions in White Frost City, should have been full of friends and a group of slaves, but in fact, there were two masters and servants living in it.
"Girl. Long Wenmu shouted.
"Eldest young master, do you want to change your clothes or make up for sleep? I haven't finished cleaning the house on the west side, if there is any trouble, forgive the little girl for not having time to accompany me. Ye Yan followed behind Long Wenmu step by step, grinning his teeth.
In the eyes of outsiders, Ye Qi is Long Wenmu's maid, but when there are no outsiders, Ye Yan and Long Wenmu talk back many times.
"How did you get the medicine you made last time? I'll buy you medicine again this time. Long Wenmu threw the medicine bag in his hand behind him, and Ye Yan screamed and caught it in a hurry, almost breaking the vase next to him, and glaring at Long Wenmu viciously behind his back.
Although this young master of his own family has never been passing by, he has been teaching himself to prepare medicines since they met.
Ye Yan can actually see that Long Wenmu, the young master, has no advantages elsewhere, but he has some unique insights in pharmacology. It's hard to imagine that Long Wenmu, a person who doesn't learn and doesn't know how to do it, has something he is proficient in.
After studying with Long Wenmu for so many years, in terms of dispensing medicines, Yeqi is better than the doctors in ordinary medical halls.
Back in the main hall, Ye Yan put his things in the corner and took out a letter from his arms: "Young Master, the medicine you explained last time has been prepared, but compared to that...... When you went out, the White City Lord sent someone to visit, and this letter was for you. ”
"Letter?" Long Wenmu took it with a sigh.
The city lord here is surnamed Bai, and he is a person who is not small in his official position and is not very timid.
This is the first time in history.
Long Wenmu raised his eyebrows and opened the envelope, but after only a few cursory glances at it, his always cynical face gradually became gloomy.
