Chapter 12 There is a woman in the dark
Cheng Zhen nodded: "This is natural, but I believe that my kid will not disappoint you." ”
Tang Zhong raised his eyebrows: "So confident, it seems that the little guy is not ordinary, it's okay like this, I don't want to find a stupid guy as an apprentice." ”
After the decision was made, Cheng Zhen also stayed for a short time, said hello to Tang Zhong and turned to leave: "I'll leave first, I'll bring your apprentice tomorrow." ”
Tang Zhong squinted his eyes again, waved his hand, and signaled not to send it.
......
On the other side, Cheng Kun was a little bored staying at Uncle Fan's house, he thought about it and decided to go out for a walk alone. When I went to the city yesterday, I was so busy with business that I didn't have much time to take a serious look at this small city.
Cheng Kun's action is first-class, and after talking to Aunt Fan, he came directly to the street.
It was the middle of November, and the temperature had dropped below zero, and when I looked up at the sky, the sky was clear, with only the sun hanging alone in the east. On the earth, the north wind howled, cold as a knife.
But the people here have long been accustomed to this kind of weather, and the severe cold has not affected their lives at all, and Cheng Kun also saw that many people were walking on the street wearing only a thin robe, but their faces were still free, which made him secretly speechless, almost thinking that he had seen the fighting nation in his previous life.
Because there was no purpose, Cheng Kun just wandered around at random, and he bought the snacks on the street that he had never seen before to taste the unique local flavor.
In addition to steamed cakes, buns and other noodles that need to be steamed in a cage, there is also a snack that Cheng Kun can't name is directly smeared with oil and fried, and a large piece of meat is wrapped after coming out of the pot.
Not to mention the taste is good, the portion is also very affordable, eating one serving can last for half a day, Cheng Kun feels that he has seen the "pancake fruit" of the "ancestors".
All in all, the food here is on the heavy side of taste, there are not many types of vegetables, and the meat is mainly pork and mutton. After turning around, Cheng Kun came to a conclusion.
Because of the expensive spices, the taste of these snacks is not very rich, but Cheng Kun is still relatively satisfied, in his previous life, he wanted to eat such healthy and green food, I don't know how much it would cost. The only pity is that there is no such thing as his favorite masturbator.
Cheng Zhen gave him a hundred yuan as pocket money when he left in the morning, Cheng Kun ate a lot of things, his stomach was already half full, and he only used twenty-four yuan, which also made him judge the value of Chu Chaowu's money, and it was only then that he realized how much money his father sold in HSBC Hall yesterday.
Thinking of this, he couldn't help it anymore, and after asking a few people, Cheng Kun walked straight into a medical hall in the east of the city - "Jishitang".
As far as he inquired, although this medical hall has only been opened for a year, the superb medical skills of the doctors in the hall have been well-known throughout the city, and what makes Cheng Kun even more excited is that there are many rare medicinal materials in Jishitang.
After entering the medical hall, Cheng Kun smelled a smell of medicinal herbs, which also carried the fragrance of herbs and trees, obviously many of which had just been harvested.
In front of the medicine cabinet, an old man with a childish face was sitting alone, holding a medical book in his hand and reading carefully, looking leisurely and complacent. Cheng Kun saw it in his eyes, and secretly praised it in his heart, it was really the demeanor of a famous doctor!
Seeing someone enter the door, the doctor put down the medical book in his hand, looked at Cheng Kun, and then said slowly: "Little doll, but your adult is sick, let you come to my hospital to buy medicine." ”
Cheng Kun asked rhetorically: "Why does the old gentleman think that it is my family that buys medicine, why can't it be that I am not feeling well?"
The doctor laughed: "You doll, you have taught me in the exam, as a doctor, you can't even tell if the person who enters the door is sick, how can you still be qualified to sit in the museum and practice medicine." Your breath is long and powerful, your muscles and bones are soft and natural, your eyes are introverted, and the old man doesn't see any problems all over your body. Well, it looks like he has practiced martial arts, at a young age, this body is really good. In the end, the doctor whispered in admiration.
Cheng Kun arched his hand and said with a smile: "The old gentleman is really wise, but you only guessed half right." I didn't get sick and my family was in good health. Since you can see that I have practiced martial arts, that kid made it clear that I came today to buy some medicinal materials and prepare some medicine myself, so that I can use it to temper my physique. ”
The doctor had a beard on his hands, and he knew that he had seen a lot of people who went to the store to buy medicine and go back to dispense it himself, so he was not surprised by it.
Cheng Kun immediately reported a series of drug names: "5 yuan for agarwood, 7 yuan for myrrh, 5 yuan for Lingxian, 1 tael of tiger bones......
In addition to the medicinal materials he needed, he also picked out some medicinal materials that he couldn't use to prevent the prescription from leaking, which were all rules passed down by the older generation, and Cheng Kun had no intention of breaking them. Because he didn't have much money in his hand, he only bought a week's supply, and after paying, his pocket was empty.
The doctor took a piece of paper and wrote down the names of the medicinal materials and the amount required, he was also very familiar with the doorway, and did not entangle the bullshit pharmacology, after taking out some common medicinal materials and wrapping them, he turned his head and shouted to the inner room of the medical hall: "Youran, help Uncle Kong put musk and tiger bones...... Bring it, someone will use it. ”
An answer soon came from the house: "Got it, Youran is coming." ”
This voice came into Cheng Kun's ears, and it felt soft, and he guessed that the owner of the voice should not be very old.
Sure enough, it didn't take long for a little girl to come out of the back room, holding the packed medicinal herbs in her hand, and handed them to the doctor: "Uncle Kong, here you are." ”
After handing over the medicinal herbs, the little girl glanced at Cheng Kun curiously, her long eyelashes blinked slightly, making people can't help but feel pity when they look at it.
Cheng Kun's eyes couldn't help but light up slightly, what a little Lori!
This little girl's eyebrows are picturesque, her black hair is braided into a double bun, and the skin exposed on the outside of her clothes is even fairer and flawless, Cheng Kun can even see the slender blood vessels under her skin, and she can see what a moving beauty she will be when she grows up.
It's just that there is no girl's liveliness in her eyes, but like her name, there is a calm and indifference beyond her age, which looks somewhat strange.
Cheng Kun smiled at the little girl, said hello, and secretly wrote down her name in his heart.
After putting away all the medicinal materials, Cheng Kun walked out of the medical hall, and he was in a good mood at this time.
On the one hand, it was because with the arrival of the medicinal materials, he could let go of his hands and feet to practice boxing for a period of time in the future, and on the other hand, if nothing else, he would stay in Xinfeng City for a long time, and there would be many opportunities to meet the elf-like little girl just now.
It's not that he has any perverted thoughts, it's just out of an appreciation for beauty. Whether it is a person or an object, as long as it is beautiful, it can always leave a deep impression on people.
At this time, it was noon, Cheng Kun did not continue to walk, but turned around and walked back to Uncle Fan's house.
As soon as he pushed open the door when he arrived at the place, he heard Fan Gang's screams. When he got closer, he found that this guy had disappeared all morning, and he had changed his appearance.
His face was swollen, his nose was collapsed, there seemed to be a few teeth missing in his mouth, and his back was full of bruises when he took off his clothes at this time, looking very miserable.
When Cheng Kun asked, he found out that this guy helped his father deliver meat in the morning, but he was surrounded by people and beaten up.
Cheng Kun gave him a thumbs up in his heart: Young man, you can!
When Fan Gang saw Cheng Kun coming back, his eyes suddenly lit up, and the opportunity for revenge came!
Although the two realized that it had not been two days now, he admired the strength of this younger brother. Not to mention anything else, I experienced it myself last night.
He hurriedly shouted at Cheng Kun: "Brother Hao (good), the right side of the Wu Bubble Shaft (you want to help me avenge......"
Fan Gang had one of his front teeth knocked out, and there was air leakage in his mouth when he spoke, which made Cheng Kun feel a little difficult to listen, and he pondered it again to figure out what it meant. Cheng Kun did not agree immediately, but asked in detail about the causes and consequences of Fan Gang's fight.
It turned out that it was his "acquaintance" who beat Fan Gang like this, and it was the kid from the Zhou Ji restaurant on the other side of the street that he said last night.
The cause of the conflict between the two is also very simple, next to Zhou Ji, there is a lady in her sixties surnamed Hu who opened a tea shop, selling some tea to passers-by for a living, and also selling some meat and vegetable buns, steamed cakes and other foods.
Because this lady is here all the year round, and the meat buns that are the signature are delicious and the filling is real, the business is very good.
This invisibly robbed the Zhou family of a lot of business. If you meet a sensible person, you may only go home and lament that your craftsmanship is not good and you can't complain about others. But this family surnamed Zhou is the opposite, the woman in charge of his family is quite unreasonable and is recognized in the neighborhood.
She only saw that Aunt Hu had robbed her business, but she didn't think she was doing anything wrong. Over time, looking at Aunt Hu became more and more unpleasant.
The children of the Zhou family have been exposed to adults since they were children, and they are naturally not very kind to Aunt Hu, and when they grow up, they often find some messy friends to make trouble in Aunt Hu's teahouse.
And it was Fan Gang who sent meat to Aunt Hu, and he couldn't help it when he saw the same situation a few times, and directly took action.
Although the boy of the Zhou family grew up in a restaurant since he was a child, he was thin and thin, without a few taels of meat, and was beaten by Fan Gang a few times at the beginning.
He couldn't beat Fan Gang himself, but his sister-in-law was quite attractive, married to the county lieutenant of Xinfeng County as a concubine, and was very favored by her husband. Relying on this aunt, he has been surrounded by a few pranksters to do things for him all the year round, and several people have gone up together, so that Fan Gang has also suffered several losses.
In this way, the two groups of people have come and go, which was originally just a trivial matter, but over time, the enmity became deeper and deeper.
Cheng Kun didn't expect that Fan Gang still had a sense of justice and appreciated him more. Moreover, if Fan Gang hadn't been so badly beaten by him yesterday, he wouldn't have been beaten like this today, speaking of which, there is still a little responsibility for him, so he agreed to avenge him.
He also secretly decided that if things were really as Fan Gang said, he would find an opportunity to teach the other party a profound lesson and solve the problem directly.
He didn't have the time and energy to accompany these "little kids" to play "playing house" again and again.
