Chapter 25 Why do you need to know each other?

Ling Qianye was covered in blood, endured the pain, and stumbled along the way and finally returned to his residence!

It was a very simple house, with only a few necessary household items, but it was very clean. She originally planned to go to the guest house in the city, but considering Xiao Buji's injury, she finally decided to stay here.

The landlord was an honest countryman, and when he heard that they had met the robbers, he agreed to let them stay without saying a word. The rent is two cents a day, and they can live as long as they want.

Suddenly, hearing footsteps in the courtyard, Su Ling'er hurriedly pulled out the soft sword at her waist, and her left hand had already buckled a meteor dart!

"It's me!" Ling Qianye said in a low voice in front of the window.

The door soon opened, and Su Ling'er hurriedly greeted him: "Master, it's not good, he fainted again!"

Ling Qianye hurriedly rushed into the room, grabbed Xiao Buer's wrist, who was sleeping on the bed at this time, and couldn't help frowning: "It's not good, his poison has already begun to spread!"

Ling Qianye hurriedly took out the red cloth package from his arms and handed it to Su Ling'er: "Hurry up and take it to decoction for him, I'm afraid it's too late!"

Su Ling'er took the red cloth bag in Ling Qianye's hand, opened it and looked at it, and couldn't help but be stunned immediately: "Isn't this the legendary thousand-year-old wild ginseng king?"

"Why are you still standing, why don't you go quickly?" Ling Qianye urged.

"Master, did you get this ginseng from the Jin Mansion?" asked Su Ling'er tentatively.

"How do you know? Don't ask, go and decoction!"

"Please forgive the apprentice for not being able to do this!" Su Ling'er said this, and actually knelt down!

"You, why are you?" Ling Qianye was anxious, but also a little puzzled!

"This ginseng is the main purpose of Brother Gu's visit to Hangzhou this time, if we use this ginseng, then Brother Gu may be in danger of dying in front of the landlord!" Su Linger said with tears falling out of her eyes.

"What did you say, you said this ginseng ......" Ling Qianye said this, suddenly understood, and couldn't help but say to himself: "No wonder he appeared in the Golden Mansion, it turns out that he is also here to steal the Wild Ginseng King!"

"It is precisely because of this that the apprentice can't take this ginseng to decoction medicine!" Su Ling'er said with a look of embarrassment.

"However, if you don't use this ginseng, Xiao Bu'er will only have a dead end!" Ling Qianye said this, and beads of sweat the size of beans appeared on his face.

"Is there no other way?" asked Su Ling'er tentatively.

"One of his is 'Wuyan San', although he took my antidote, but because the poisoning was too deep and hurt the meridians, if there is no wild ginseng to continue his life at this time, his life may only be in a moment!"

"However, if there is no ginseng, Brother Gu will not be able to pay the errand, according to the rules of Deyue Tower, he will definitely be executed by the landlord!

Ling Qianye pondered for a long time, glanced at Su Ling'er and said, "I heard that the rules of the Deyue Mansion are very strict, and everyone is not allowed to inquire about anyone except their own task, how did you know about Gu Changtian's mission?"

"Don't hide it from the master, I was outside at the time and heard his conversation with the landlord, so I can know. Su Linger lowered her head and said.

"Do you know that if you eavesdrop on the landlord's conversation, you will also be executed by the landlord?"

"The apprentice can't care so much, besides, the apprentice didn't deliberately eavesdrop, he just happened to pass by. Su Linger said.

Ling Qianye thought about it for a long time, but she really didn't know how to answer, she hesitated in her heart for a long time, and finally decided to tell the truth.

"This ginseng was given to me by Gu Changtian. ”

"What are you talking about, how is this possible?" Su Ling'er opened her mouth wide in shock.

"He said that you two are old acquaintances, and he handed over the participation to me for the sake of your face, I believe that if he dares to make such a decision, there will be a way to convince your landlord!" Ling Qianye said with relief.

"He actually didn't even want his life for me!" Thinking of this, Su Ling'er couldn't help but shed tears anymore, and said secretly in her heart: "If you can look good in this life, you will definitely live up to your love!"

"What are you thinking? Let's go and decoct the medicine!"

"Master, can this ginseng really save his life? If it doesn't work, wouldn't it be a mistake to lose two lives?" Su Ling'er still said very cautiously.

"I can't care about it so much, even if it's a desperate bet, I'm going to give it a try!" Ling Qianye said this, snatching the Wild Ginseng King from Su Ling'er's hand, "Since you can't make up your mind, then let me come!"

Seeing that Ling Qianye was really angry at this time, Su Ling'er didn't dare to say anything more, and immediately knelt down and begged: "The master is injured, so let's do it in vain!"

Ling Qianye glanced at Su Ling'er and felt that she had changed her mind, so she returned the ginseng to Su Ling'er: "You go and come back quickly, I've worked hard for you!"

Su Ling'er took the wild ginseng king, and immediately went out of the room, it was already the fifth watch at this time, she felt the darkness to the kitchen, lit the oil lamp, prepared the medicine jar and began to decoct the medicine for Xiao Buji, although she was doing all this mechanically, but her heart kept turning for Gu Changtian, the melancholy on her face was like the wind at midnight, cold and tranquil, but all this, Gu Changtian couldn't see it.

At this time, Gu Changtian was already drunk in Fuxianju!

If he hadn't kicked open the door of the Fuxian Residence, if he hadn't thrown it away or a thousand taels of silver tickets, if he hadn't given the shopkeeper a head here, then even if there were eight horses pulling the horse, he wouldn't want the shopkeeper to get up from the bed to cook for him at this time!

The shopkeeper has not been in charge for many years, and since Fu Xianju's business is getting better and better day by day, he has begun to retire. I haven't touched the kitchenware on the stove for a few years, and the shopkeeper's movements are not so proficient, but he still handles the taste and the heat as well as he did at the beginning!

Good wine and good food filled a large table, Gu Changtian looked at the shopkeeper who was sweating profusely because he was busy and smiled: "After a busy night, let's have two drinks together!"

"What's so embarrassing?"

"Anyway, it's boring for me to drink alone, so it's good to have one more person to chat with me!"

When the shopkeeper heard this, he walked over, poured a glass of wine for Gu Changtian, and said with a smile: "In this way, then I might as well be respectful!"

The two of them didn't say anything at first, they drank three glasses to each other, and the shopkeeper finally couldn't help asking: "Shaoxia looks melancholy, isn't there something unhappy?"

"Alas!" Gu Changtian let out a long sigh and said, "I'll soon be a dead man!"

"What?" said the shopkeeper's eyes widened when he said this, "Could it be that someone wants to kill Shaoxia?" but Shaoxia's martial arts are so good, who can kill Shaoxia?"

"It's not those bullshit rules!" Gu Changtian said this, grabbed the wine jar on the table, raised his neck and drank bitterly.

"Shaoxia, you drink slowly, drinking like this will kill you!" The shopkeeper hurriedly snatched the wine jar from Gu Changtian's hand, and said with a distressed face.

"I hate those rules, no matter how much credit you have, as long as you fail to complete the task once, you will die! You say, what do you want it to do with such rules?" Gu Changtian said this, his eyes were already red! He was not a good drinker, and he drank more on an empty stomach at the moment, and he was a little fluttery at the moment.

"This kind of rule is indeed a bit too impersonal! But this society is sometimes like this, no matter how many times others do you do it right, as long as you do it wrong once, others will criticize you and accuse you, and few people will think about it for you, this is human nature!" said the shopkeeper, his face was also painful.

"The world's bosom friend is the only one! Come, cheers!" Gu Changtian said this, and raised the wine jar again.

The shopkeeper immediately raised the wine glass on the table and drank it all!

"I once worked as a Qing official in Bianliang, Kyoto for several years, and because I was diligent and honest, the imperial court sent me to deal with the floods, but I didn't know anything about river affairs at all, but it was difficult to disobey the holy will, so I could only go to take up my post with a hard head! When I arrived at the locality, the local officials were treacherous and embezzled official silver, and the so-called major events such as building rivers and embankments were just an excuse for them to enrich their own pockets!"

"Did you compromise later?" asked Gu Changtian.

When the shopkeeper said this, he put down the wine glass in his hand heavily: "Of course I can't tolerate this kind of thing, I killed a few corrupt officials without asking for an order in a fit of anger, but I didn't expect a piece of impeachment, I was dismissed by the imperial court, and I was framed by the villain, and I was going to kill me quickly, if it weren't for the intercession of the court, I would be a dead man today!

"It's not fair, it's not fair at all!" Gu Changtian said.

"I've seen through this world!" the shopkeeper said this, and smiled miserably, "Anyway, now that I have abandoned politics and business, I have endless money, and I can easily chat for the rest of my life every day, isn't it happy?"

The shopkeeper poured himself full of wine again, and said: "If the young man is in trouble, why don't you learn from the old man and return to the countryside?

Gu Changtian smiled miserably: "How easy is it?"

"Could it be that the young man has a hard time?"

"As soon as you enter the Moon Tower, you won't die or be removed!" Gu Changtian smiled miserably, "How can you say that you can go into hiding?"

"What kind of organization is this, even harsher than the imperial court?" said the shopkeeper and frowned.

"You don't understand, you won't understand, you won't understand if you say it!" Gu Changtian said, picked up the wine jar and drank it in a big gulp.

"What the hell will make the young man take on the burden of human life? The old man wants to ask for advice!" The shopkeeper said this, and immediately put down the wine glass in his hand, "It's not that the old man exaggerates, these years of running a rich and virtuous house, there are some silver taels in his hands, if this matter can be solved with money, as long as the young man says a word, the old man will help!"

"Thank you for the shopkeeper's kindness, but this matter is definitely not something that money can do, it is really something that can be met but not sought!" Gu Changtian said this, and immediately smashed the wine jar in his hand, "God, why don't you let a few more thousand-year-old ginseng trees grow in this world? Why do you embarrass me so much? Why?"

The shopkeeper couldn't help but smile when he heard this: "Shaoxia is suffering for a thousand-year-old ginseng?"

Gu Changtian's eyes were miserable, and he smiled bleakly: "It's a pity that there is only one thousand-year-old ginseng in this world, otherwise, I may be able to live!"

The shopkeeper stood up at the moment and said with a smile: "What should I do, but it's just a ginseng, don't worry about the young man, the old man will go over to take it and give it to the young man, and solve the worries with the young man!"

"What? What are you talking about?" Gu Changtian Huo Ran got up, "You also have a thousand-year-old ginseng?"

"Yes, the old man has a righteous son, called Liu Moxi, in the rivers and lakes people gave the nickname 'Ginseng King', he once asked someone to personally send a thousand-year-old ginseng for my birthday, I was too precious, afraid of this sideways, so I have been stored at home and did not dare to take it out, so even the fifty birthday to be saved!"

Gu Changtian couldn't help but feel a burst of joy: "If this is the case, the shopkeeper will have the grace of reinvention to the juniors, please accept the juniors!"

The shopkeeper helped Gu Changtian up: "If you can save the young man from the sea of suffering, the old man will be comforted by his life!

Gu Changtian took a closer look, it was really a rare superb, and he couldn't help but feel a burst of joy at the moment, and immediately knelt down for the shopkeeper: "If you have a fate in the next life, you will be a cow and a horse for the shopkeeper, so as to repay the great grace in this life!"

"You and I hit it off at first sight, what else do you want to do with these politeness?" said this, and hurriedly helped Gu Changtian up.

"We've known each other for a long time and still don't know each other's names, it's really a great joy in life!" Gu Changtian said with a proud face.

"Yes, another toast to that!"

Gu Changtian immediately raised the wine jar and drank with the shopkeeper.

"Late born Gu-"

Gu Changtian wanted to say his name, but was interrupted by the shopkeeper, and was about to ask, but saw the shopkeeper smile and said: "You and I intersect, why do you need to be well-known, but just ask for fate!"

Gu Changtian smiled slightly: "Well said!
