After the two catchers left quickly, Zhu Dafu finally breathed a sigh of relief, he stretched his stiff body, turned around and asked his younger brother Zhu Erfu: "What happened just now? I can't breathe! You always like to join in the fun, and you know more things than me, can you tell me what happened just now?"

Zhu Erfu also rubbed his sore neck, and said to Zhu Dafu with a painful expression: "Big brother, this is the first time I have encountered this, I have only heard people say before that a real master can kill people invisibly, this may be the legendary killing of you with his eyes......

"Eyes can kill?!" Zhu Dafu asked in disbelief, "But the man in black didn't look at us either......"

Zhu Erfu then said with a blank face: "This ...... I don't know. ”

Zhu Dafu then stood up, lifted the bucket and the flat pole and said, "Let's not think about this matter first, you wake up the third brother quickly, we have to hurry up and get down to business." If you can't wake up, you carry him home first. ”

Zhu Erfu then said: "Don't worry, big brother, keep it for you to wake up!"

After that, he hurriedly put Zhu Xiaofu flat on the ground, pinched his middle man, and then gave him two big-eared scrapers. Zhu Xiaofu was tossed like this, and immediately woke up, he got up and hurriedly asked, "Brothers, what about the fast catcher?

Zhu Dafu then handed him the two buckets and said, "Don't worry, the people have already left! Let's hurry up, and we can rest assured when the matter is done." ”

With that, he set off, and the other two hurriedly followed, towards the foot of the hill to the east of the town.

There has been silence all the way, and not even a single figure has been seen. The three of them took advantage of the heavy night to walk quickly, and soon arrived at the foot of the mountain. I saw a clear and transparent lake at the bottom of the mountain, and there was a spring in the middle of the lake that was constantly spewing out a vigorous water column, which was more than two meters high, and the water splashed back to the water surface, making a continuous sound, and the sound was even louder at the foot of the silent and uninhabited mountain.

Next to the lake stands a stone monument with a few words engraved on it, which must be the name of this spring. As the three of them slowly approached, the words on the stele could gradually be seen clearly, and I saw four neat characters engraved on the stele - "That Eye Spring"

When the three of them came to the spring, Zhu Xiaofu hurriedly looked around for a while, and found that there was no one around, so he breathed a sigh of relief and said to his eldest brother Zhu Dafu: "Big brother, what should we do now, can we directly take the medicine?"

Due to nervousness, Zhu Xiaofu's head became a little unbright, and his speech became sluggish, so Zhu Dafu patted his head and said: "Are you stupid?! If we take the medicine first, won't the water we drink also make our stomachs! So we should fetch water first!"

"Uh...... Oh......" Zhu Xiaofu was beaten by his eldest brother, and his expression gradually calmed down, so he hurriedly picked up two wooden barrels, squatted down and started to make water, and Zhu Erfu also hurriedly came over to help.

After the four wooden barrels were filled with water, Zhu Dafu took out the small medicine bottle that Zhou Yuanwai gave him from his arms. He uncorked the bottle, thought about it for a long time, gritted his teeth, and threw the medicine bottle directly into the spring.

After finishing his work, he stood up, let out a long sigh, and then turned to Zhu Erfu and Zhu Xiaofu and said, "Let's go! Let's go back quickly, so as not to be discovered, and tomorrow morning I will ask about the reward for peeling the skin that week." ”

Zhu Dafu said that he set off to move forward, Zhu Erfu and Zhu Xiaofu hurriedly followed behind with buckets, and the three of them walked back to the town quickly.

But just after the three of them left the spring, the whole spring water actually tumbled inexplicably, and a burst of white mist rose into the air, gradually condensing into the appearance of a woman in mid-air. The woman was slender and dignified, floating on the surface of the lake like a fairy falling from the sky. The woman saw the scene of the Zhu brothers sprinkling medicine, and only smiled lightly at the corner of her mouth, and then disappeared into the spring again.

When the three brothers got home, they cleaned up and went to bed, but all three of them felt that they could not sleep, but they did not sit up and talk to each other because they did not know what to say.

In this way, the three of them survived this long night-

When I woke up the next morning, everyone looked a little dark, and it seemed that the three of them didn't have a good rest last night. But whether you have a good rest or not, Zhou Yuanwai will let them continue to work non-stop, otherwise don't think about getting paid. The three of them got up and wiped their faces with cold water, and after cleaning up, they hurriedly went to Zhou Yuanwai's house to continue their work.

worked until noon, before he got a moment to rest, so Zhu Dafu hurriedly ran to Zhou Yuanwai's study, wanting to ask him for the agreed reward.

Before coming to the study, Zhu Dafu knocked lightly on the door a few times, and the shrill voice came from inside the door as usual: "Come in——"

Zhu Dafu hurriedly pushed the door in, only to see Zhou Yuanwai still sitting at the table as usual, holding a brush in his hand and drawing in circles on the account book.

Zhou Yuanwai raised his eyes and saw that it was Zhu Dafu, his fat face immediately pulled down, and asked pretendedly: "You came to me, what is the so-called matter?"

Zhu Dafu saw that he was asking knowingly, so he scolded in his heart: What is the matter with me coming to you, don't you have a little pressure in your heart?!

But after thinking about it, Zhu Dafu didn't dare to scold it openly, so he pretended to smirk and said: "Master, you can tell me yesterday that after that thing is done, you will give us a reward of four taels of gold." ”

"What's the matter......" Zhou Yuanwai stroked his mustache, and then said, "I haven't made any money yet, so how can I give you any gold?"

"But...... Didn't you say that as long as you finish the medicine, you will give the money?" Zhu Dafu saw that he wanted to repay the debt this week, so he immediately said.

Zhou Yuanwai thought for a moment and said: "Now that a day has passed, few people have come to my pharmacy to buy medicine for stomach treatment, I have to wonder if you have been drugged!"

After hearing this, Zhu Dafu hurriedly said: "Of course, I threw the medicine into the lake with a bottle, maybe the water in the tank of every household has not been drunk yet, and it will definitely be effective in two days." ”

"Then let's wait until it works!" Zhou Yuanwai wanted to take the opportunity to delay, so he waved his hand and said, "You can step back first, and come back to me tomorrow." ”

Seeing this, Zhu Dafu had no choice but to withdraw from the study and continue to work.
