089 Head Finger Snake
"Yes, it was brought by a casual cultivator who went hunting, but he was lucky this time, and he passed through a valley on the way, and there were a lot of spiritual grasses growing in the valley, which made him very happy. β
Shopkeeper Lai said with a smile, his subordinates kept tidying up the spiritual grass, and some of them with dirt patted the soil clean, and if there was any damage, they repaired it neatly, and then put it into a beautiful box after it was done.
This time it changed hands, and the condition looked a lot better.
"It seems that the shopkeeper knows the man. Chu Yao nodded.
She watched the actions of the shopkeeper, but she sat safely on the side, without the intention of stepping forward to help.
The two said very clearly, Chu Yao is not here to help, but to taste and calculate the wages by the piece, she is nothing to help, but if the shopkeeper sees that she is good at talking, such chores will naturally fall on her head in the future, at that time, will she refuse or not?
Maybe Shopkeeper Lai will be dissatisfied, but she believes that she will create value for this herbal medicine hall, and then it will be too late for Shopkeeper Lai to keep her, so who will mind these little things.
"Well, he has been going back and forth to Xiangmiao Valley for a long time in order to save spars to buy spiritual weapons, and occasionally he will come to me to deal with some spiritual grass. "Shopkeeper Lai is peeling the shell, it is a hard-shelled fruit, the outside is blue-black, and when it is peeled, it will reveal the milky white fruit inside, "But he didn't have a big harvest this time before, you see, there is even Su Luoying." β
The shopkeeper's tone was a little proud, the casual cultivator didn't understand the spiritual grass at all, but when he saw something containing spiritual energy on the road, he would wrap it in animal skins and start picking it down, and if he could sell it, he would sell it for some money, and it would be a pity if he couldn't sell it, it was precisely because of this that the shopkeeper Lai didn't make less money from him.
Su Luo cherry is a kind of spiritual fruit, the taste is delicious and sweet, the juice is rich, and it is bought and eaten by many rich and noble families as a snack, and the price is very considerable.
Chu Yao just wanted to say something, but suddenly his heart trembled-
"Shopkeeper stop!" she exclaimed, and stood up with a thud.
"W-What's wrong!"
Shopkeeper Lai's frightened face changed, his heart chuckled, and he threw out the fruit that was being peeled with a trembling hand.
Chu Yao didn't have time to reply, so he hurriedly took the bag of animal skins, took a step back, pulled out the sword at his waist, and fiddled with it with the tip of the sword.
The land where Su Luoying grows is dry sandy land, and the land is extremely rough, which is no problem, but this kind of land is very easy to breed a kind of demon beast-
Head Finger Snake!
The ugly black sword gently slashed through the spirit grass inside, and Chu Yao looked at it extremely seriously, not letting go of anything that could hide.
Shopkeeper Lai didn't know what she was doing so carefully, he just looked at the fruit he threw out, as well as the many spirit grasses wrapped in the animal skin, "Hey, hey, be careful, the sword has scratched things - ah, what is that!"
I saw that Chu Yao suddenly used force in his hand, and the tip of the sword directly poked at something, and slashed down hard-
"Shhhh
The thing flicked suddenly, as if it wanted to attack angrily, but the sword stabbed directly into its body, and it screamed and twisted its body vigorously, and gradually stopped moving.
As soon as Chu Yao picked up the tip of her sword, she threw it towards the door, and when her sword was pulled out, jet-black poisonous blood flowed to the ground.
"How can there be a snake with a head finger mixed in!"
Lai's frightened face turned a little blue, and he was also in a trance.
Chu Yao wiped the blood-stained sword on the animal skin, and then took it back unhurriedly, "There are a lot of spirit grasses here that person picked in the dry sandy land, there are many poisonous snakes and poisonous insects in this land, and the head finger snake is one of them, and it likes to take a nap on the spirit grass plants, and it is normal to be picked." β
The head finger snake is a snake with a head and body that is almost the same length, and the overall length is only the length of the little thumb, but the head accounts for half of it, and it is highly venomous.
Shopkeeper Lai was afraid for a while, he just went directly to take the spirit grass with his hand, in case he accidentally touched the head finger snake and was bitten by it-
"This damn snake!"
He cursed, trotted to the door of the shop, and burned the little snake to charred ashes.
"That loose cultivator, the next time I see him, I have to scold him!"
Although the snake was dead, he was lucky not to be bitten, but when he thought about it, he was still angry, and when he looked at the damaged spirit grass, he felt even more angry.
"The more people who don't understand the spirit grass, the more carefully they have to check the things they have picked, otherwise it will be really unlucky if they encounter that kind of zombie beast. β
Chu Yao said.
Hearing that Cheng Zombie Beast, Lai's shopkeeper's face changed again.
The so-called zombie beast is a demon beast that is obviously a living thing, but it can be completely disguised as a dead thing. At that time, not only did their bodies be as rigid as dead objects, but they could also change into the colors they imagined, almost as if they were real.
"Miss Chu, thank you so much. The shopkeeper Lai was grateful, this matter really depended on her, otherwise if she was poisoned, she would lose her life, and even if she was treated, the antidote to her poison was extremely expensive.
"Hehe, you're welcome. Chu Yao smiled and said, with a kind face, but then his tone changed, "By the way, Shopkeeper Lai, I need a few materials to ......"
Shopkeeper Lai choked for a moment, and then smiled bitterly, "Okay, you can choose, look at the price and give you a cheaper." β
At this time, the Gu Family Inn.
The original signboard of the inn has been replaced, changed to the current "Gu family snacks", and now there are few valuable things in the objects arranged, most of them are bought by their father and son with a small amount of money, and they also got some flowers and plants, which look a little fresh and pleasant, and they are no longer old in the past.
"Xiao Ming, you get it here, I'll go buy some beautiful tablecloths and come back. Shopkeeper Gu said to his son and walked out.
"Okay, Dad, come back early. Gu Ming didn't raise his head, he was busy setting up the tables and chairs.
Not long after he was busy, he felt something moving behind him, and now it was still half of the afternoon, Chu Yao only came back at night a few days ago, and he definitely couldn't come at this time, so Gu Ming subconsciously asked:
"Dad, why did you come back so early, the tablecloth has already been bought?"
He didn't look back, he placed the newly purchased tables and chairs very neatly, and wiped them with a clean cloth after they were placed, and when he finished wiping the table, he found that no one squeaked after asking.
"Daddy?"
He turned back in confusion, but when he turned around, he was facing the tip of a cold sword.
Behind him stood a man at some point, staring at him expressionlessly, the sword in his hand pointed directly at his eyebrows.
Gu Ming was so frightened that he even stopped breathing, and the cloth in his hand fell to the ground with a click.
"Yan, Yan Stewardβ"
He swallowed, staring fearfully at the glowing sword.
