"But I just don't understand what the old woman is all about, it's been a few months since she first brought the medicine, and she's unscathed. If she is a peerless master, it is not to the point of mixing a few broken silver. If she wasn't, then what magic weapon did she have that could resist the life-killing ability of this dragon beard grass? unless there was a worldly master behind her to help?" He touched the back of his head and muttered to himself.

"Anyway, no matter where she comes from, as long as she can help me bring a steady stream of dragon beard grass, then I will keep this secret forever. ”

After speaking, he and Xiao Er smiled heartily, and the two of them walked out pretending again.

"Madame, I've kept you waiting. ”

The shopkeeper sat down. As soon as he saw that the teacup in front of the old woman had been drunk, he hurriedly took matters into his own hands and helped her make a cup of tea.

"Dragon's beard grass is very pure, it should have taken a lot of your effort!"

"Huh. The old woman smiled shyly. "Actually, I have to thank you, I used to pick some ordinary herbs, and at most I could barely survive by exchanging some copper coins. But there are too many people collecting medicine in the nearby hills, so I can't think that I can only try my luck near the end of the world. Unexpectedly, it was sparsely populated and there were plenty of herbs for me to pick. When I sent the herbs to you to sell, Xiao Er found that there were a few dragon's beard grasses mixed in with them. I didn't know that this herb was so precious that it could be sold for some silver, and I was amazed!"

The king's head buzzed, didn't she know the origin of the dragon's beard grass? This is the woman from which ravine. I used to think that she was going to die soon, so I made a hasty deal without talking about it. I didn't expect her to be so fateful, so I have to get to know her well this time anyway.

"I was very surprised that Madame did not know the origin of the dragon's beard. It is rumored that picking dragon's beard grass is very dangerous, and many people have died after getting this grass, so that the herb is extremely scarce, and basically no one dares to pick it, and the natural medicine store does not sell it, so the price has risen. It's just that I have a small question, doesn't Madame feel a little uncomfortable after picking herbs?"

"Thank you for your concern, I am indeed restless and restless when I return from the end of the world. And he has a dry mouth and a splitting headache. But when I got home, I felt refreshed and full of energy the next day. ”

The shopkeeper showed a look of confusion on his face. "Is there a treasure hidden in Madame's house to remove the curse of the dragon beard grass? Or is it a martial arts mansion for generations, and it has profound internal strength. Otherwise, how can you be safe?"

"The shopkeeper smiled, don't you say, I'm just a widow. The old woman did not hide her identity at all, and calmly brushed her hair.

"Widow?" said the king's treasurer was even more surprised.

"Yes, I'm just an ordinary woman who lives on a hillside next to Castle Peak Town. The house was in tatters, with broken tiles to shade the sun and thatch to keep out the rain. I had no relatives, just a sixteen-year-old boy by my side. ”

She finished in fits and starts, her eyes glittering. But after a while, I adjusted my mood again and looked calm.

The shopkeeper Wang also felt that he had touched the pain of the old woman, so he had to keep pouring water to express his apology.

"Madame must have had a painful time, but after the storm, the child will also be an adult, and everything will get through. ”

"Thank you, shopkeeper. Speaking of the child, the old woman's gloomy eyes shone again, as if this was the only thing for her.

"Master, the broken silver is ready. ”

The two were talking happily, but they didn't know that Xiao Er had come to their side. The king's shopkeeper took the broken silver and pinched it in his hand, and the treacherous thoughts of the merchant took over his brain again.

He was really unwilling to give away these silver taels in his hand easily, although his family was rich, but when he really showed his generosity, he was better than a monkey!

Just when the king's shopkeeper racked his brains and tried his best to detain the silver. He glanced and saw the books in the corners under the table in the backroom. In a flash of inspiration, he suddenly had an idea.

"Madam, this is the silver tael that the dragon beard grass exchanged, please keep it. Reluctantly, the king's shopkeeper put the broken silver in his hand on the table in front of the old woman.

"Thank you, shopkeeper, then I'll leave. The children are still hungry. The old woman picked up the silver taels and prepared to go back.

"Madame, wait. He rolled his eyes. "Speaking of your child just now, I don't know which private school Ling Gongzi is studying?"

The old woman sighed. "It's a problem to have enough to eat, so how can there be any spare money to send him to school. ”

"That's a problem, too. The child must have a place to teach him the philosophy of life, respect and humility, and filial piety. ”

After hearing this, she frowned, "My Feng'er is lively and active, and she likes to run around like crazy on weekdays." To say that sitting at home and letting him study is really harder than climbing to the sky!"

"Haha. Shopkeeper Wang couldn't help laughing, the plan was five points mature, and he was confident. "What am I worried about as a wife, it is normal for children to be active and not like to study. ”

As he spoke, he leaned over to the old woman and said softly. "Madame, don't you know that on the top of this mountain, there is a son who reads thousands of books and gets a golden house? On the contrary, it is the top ten of the Qianshi Selection Conference, and the Sun and Moon Shrine has a very high monthly offering, and the matchmaker has broken through the house, and the scenery is infinite. ”

"Is it the Qianshi selection meeting?" the old woman hurriedly sat down again, the child's future was more important than anything else, although she had not eaten until now, and her stomach was rumbling with hunger.

"No one knows how mighty the Sun Moon Shrine is. Every year, the Lichun Qianzhen selects good men and women to visit this hall, and every year in the beginning of autumn, a selection meeting is held to select ten disciples to become Qianshi. The king's shopkeeper looked at the old woman quietly,

Then he whispered in her ear, "I see that there must be gods and men in Madame's family to help, and even the curse of the dragon's beard grass can be easily broken." If you carefully cultivate your son, you will definitely be able to soar to the sky and become a cadre. ”

"How can I become a Qianshi?" the old woman seemed to be moved by the words, and her face flushed with excitement.

"The selection meeting is actually very simple, as long as you learn the basic skills of alchemy, the higher the level of comprehension, the longer you last, the more likely you are to become a cadre. ”

"But go there and learn alchemy. She finally understood that it was not easy to enter the Sun and Moon Divine Palace, and there was still a threshold. Thinking of this, I can't help but feel very lost.

Shopkeeper Wang glanced at it and felt that the time was ripe. For the sake of these broken silver, he can be regarded as having exhausted all his strength, and his saliva is dry.

"Alchemy was created by the Qian, and everyone's comprehension ability is different. Even if some children of rich families invite the elders of the palace to teach at a high price, they may not be able to improve quickly. On the contrary, some ordinary people, with just a strong book, bucked the trend and easily reached level five or above. In the final analysis, since the establishment of this alchemy, it is not a book to study. If you don't have enough qualifications, you won't be able to improve even if you study for a lifetime. It's just a touchstone, dig into the depths of your heart and see if you're a dragon or a worm?"
