Chapter 73: Longevity Incense
Li Bai glanced at Yu Wanyin, his expression was indifferent, but he was more interested in the brother and sister in front of him.
For her?
Li Bai looked at the girl with interest, and then listened to the girl say, "I...... I...... I accidentally broke one of the elixirs in my master's house, and the master asked me to pay money, but I didn't have the money to pay, so the master asked me to pay off the debt! My brother didn't want me to marry the master, so ...... That's why I came up with this method to make money to pay off my debts!"
Yu Wanyin glanced at the girl with tears rippling on the ground, and then looked up at Li Bai, the tenderness in her eyes was like a sinkhole, pulling Li Bai deep into it, as if telling Li Bai that she must help this girl.
Seeing this, Li Bai let out a long sigh.
There must be something hateful about the wretched, and that's true!
He said helplessly: "How much does your master want you to pay?"
The girl whimpered: "The master said, I want eight hundred taels of silver!"
Li Bai couldn't help but gasp, his brows furrowed, and he glanced at the snake seller who was choked by his throat, and his heart tossed and turned.
This man is not greedy, no more, no less, just eight hundred taels, but eight hundred taels, where does Li Bai have the money to pay them back? If it is to return the medicine......
After a turn of thought, Li Bai asked the girl who was kneeling on the ground.
"You...... What kind of elixir did you break?"
There are countless rare elixirs in Li Baiyu's bag, and it is not difficult to compensate for an elixir.
"Hemostatic grass. ”
"Hemostatic herb?!"
"Yes!"
Hearing the girl say that she had damaged a hemostatic grass, Li Bai smiled speechlessly.
Hemostatic grass is the most common elixir, because it has the effect of stopping bleeding, so it will be planted in a large area by some people refining medicine, but the value of this hemostatic grass is about ten taels of silver per plant, which is not very valuable, nor is it a rare elixir, but now it is claimed for eight hundred taels of silver, and Li Bai is also drunk.
was claimed 800 taels!
Li Bai's eyes widened, and he felt aggrieved for this girl in his heart.
After thinking about it, Li Bai let go of the hand that was tightly choking the throat of the snake seller, raised his hand, and took out an elixir from the jade bag and handed it to the girl kneeling on the ground.
"This elixir is called life-sustaining incense, if you take it to the medicine hall and sell it, it should be enough for you to pay off your debts!"
The girl saw the life-sustaining incense, her body was stunned, and with her memory of having read several pharmacopoeias in the master's house, she knew that this life-sustaining incense was a rare elixir worth ten thousand gold, took a deep breath, and took it tremblingly.
She took the elixir, glanced at each other with the snake seller beside her, her eyes were full of strange essence, and then hurriedly knocked three songs to Li Bai with the snake seller.
The girl burst into tears, seeing Li Bai in front of her, she was so excited that she didn't know what to say, and the man who sold the snake saw that Li Bai not only did not kill him, but gave him a rare elixir worth 10,000 gold.
The snake seller said to Li Bai gratefully: "Shen Shi Xie Gongzi helped each other with righteousness, this kindness cannot be repaid, I am willing to ......"
Before he could finish speaking, Li Bai's face changed, but he hurriedly interrupted him.
"I don't need anything in return, don't say anything about your sister or your servant!"
Li Bai has seen too much of this kind of scene in movies and television, and he is really afraid that the snake seller named Shen Shi will marry his sister to him.
It's not that he doesn't like women, but not all women like it.
Shen Shi was slightly stunned when he heard Li Bai interrupt him and say such a thing, and when he felt embarrassed how Li Bai would know what he was going to say, he didn't think about how to open his mouth again, and then heard Li Bai say to himself: "This elixir should be used by me to buy these snakes, just give me the snakes!"
After speaking, Li Bai stretched out his hand to take the sack in the hand of Shen Shi.
Shen Shi hesitated.
It's not that he doesn't want to give this bag of snakes to Li Bai, but he feels that this bag of snakes is not worth Li Bai's elixir at all.
"But this snake ...... Not really a krait!"
Shen Shi wanted to give it but didn't want to give it, and he was afraid that it would be too embarrassing to give it out.
Li Bai smiled openly, not minding whether this snake was a krait or not.
"It's out of the way! I'm just using them to feed my little tail!"
"Little tail?"
Shen Shi and his sister Shen Yu looked at each other inexplicably, and then before they could get up, Li Bai took the sack containing the krait snake in Shen Shi's hand and smiled at Yu Wanyin.
"Let's go!"
Yu Wanyin nodded, turned around and prepared to go back to the inn with Li Bai.
There were unforeseen circumstances, and just when Li Bai and Yu Wanyin turned around and were about to go back, five big men came in front of them.
The five big men, followed by a middle-aged man in brocade clothes, looking at the style and the posture of his walking, Li Bai guessed which dignitary the man was.
The five big men opened their ways, and the middle-aged man walked to the front, first glancing coldly at the Shen Shi brothers and sisters kneeling on the ground, then turning his head to look at Li Bai seriously, and finally at Yu Wanyin.
When the middle-aged man saw Yu Wanyin, his two narrow eyes suddenly opened, and he immediately revealed an obscene light.
The middle-aged man stepped forward with a disgusting smile on his face.
"Where are you going, this beauty?"
Yu Wanyin didn't raise her eyes, and said a word to Li Bai, and she was going to continue walking.
The middle-aged man hurriedly stopped Yu Wanyin.
Shen Shi, who was kneeling on the ground, saw that the middle-aged man wanted to bully his benefactor, so he got up from the ground "Teng", raised his fist and was about to step forward to block the middle-aged man for Yu Wanyin.
Shen Yu saw it, but he was not as impulsive as Shen Shi, so he hurriedly grabbed Shen Shi, and then walked to Yu Wanyin with a sad brow, blocking the middle-aged man for Yu Wanyin.
Shen Yu saw the middle-aged man, his eyes wandered, as if he was afraid and frightened, and hesitated for a while before he opened his mouth.
"Master!"
The two words were spit out with difficulty, and Shen Yu immediately lowered his head.
The middle-aged man in front of him is named Zhang Fugui, not someone else, it is the owner who asked her to repay the eight hundred taels of silver she just said.
However, while seeing that this rich man was not a good person, Li Bai was a little worried about his life-sustaining incense.
At this moment, when Li Bai was thinking about not letting Shen Yu take out the life-sustaining incense, and asking Shen Yu to go to the medicine hall to sell the life-sustaining incense, Shen Yu took out the life-sustaining incense that Li Bai had just given her.
"Master, I can pay my debts!"
Zhang Fugui saw the life-sustaining incense, a rare elixir worth 10,000 gold was held in Shen Yu's palm, his eyes lit up, and he immediately took his eyes off Yu Wanyin.
