Chapter 57 Precious Medicine (please read)
I simply wiped the rain off my body with a towel.
Put on new, clean clothes.
Su Heng and Su Ping returned to the room, enjoying their breakfast and chatting.
Of course, Su Heng has a dull personality and doesn't like to talk very much. Most of the time, Su Ping talks alone, while Su Heng watches and listens carefully.
As Su Heng joined the Qingcheng Gang, he became a blood refining warrior and a pharmacist.
Things at home have gotten better.
Su Ping's mental outlook also improved a lot during this period of time.
The originally dark yellow skin became white and soft after receiving a large amount of nutritional supplements.
The body also began to develop again, showing the unique plump curves of women.
Honestly.
In Su Heng's eyes, Su Ping's appearance was not considered very stunning and beautiful.
But she is very attractive, and there is always a maternal tenderness between her brows and eyes.
After inexplicably traveling into this purgatory-like world, Su Heng was depressed for a long time at first. As a former modern man, it was somewhat difficult to adapt to such a harsh environment and the ubiquitous mental oppression.
It was with the patient company of his family that Su Heng gradually emerged from the predicament.
What a pity.
Su Heng's martial arts talent has not yet been developed.
His mother died of illness, his father was bitten to death by a poisonous snake, and his eldest sister disappeared... In the whole family, only the second sister was left to depend on him.
"The weather has been really weird these past few years."
Halfway through the meal.
Su Ping put down the chopsticks in his hand and looked out the window at the rain curtain.
"Alas..." Su Ping sighed softly and said, "God seems to be deliberately trying to trick me. Either it won't rain for three years, or it will rain continuously for one or two months."
"The cabbage I grew in my vegetable field was almost ready to eat, but the roots were soaked by the rain."
"The situation in our family is good, and we will never be short of food." Su Heng also thought of a lot, "It's just that the farmers outside who rely on farming for a living may have a hard time again this year."
Natural disasters year after year.
Even the most upright emperor of the current dynasty wanted to fill the loopholes.
The government orders issued could not be implemented.
Those local officials and local gentry families would not miss such an opportunity to compete for land from the people.
Without their land, those farmers would be unable to pay the taxes of the Otsuki Dynasty. They would either become slaves or choose to join violent organizations such as the White Lotus Sect and the Sequoia Army.
There is no third way out.
Even if you don't think deeply, you can still understand that the world will only become more and more chaotic in the future.
"However, there are some benefits to so much rain." Su Ping seemed to realize that the atmosphere at the dinner table was too dull, and quietly changed the topic.
"What's the benefit?"
Su Heng looked at her with a smile on her face and two small dimples at the corners of her mouth.
I couldn't help but asked curiously.
"Those dry wells." Su Ping said, "Those wells were originally dry due to years of drought.
But now, after a whole month of light rain, there is enough water. The wells that were originally thought to be dead are now filled with clear and living water. It is really a good thing that it is convenient for people nearby to get water."
"It's just..." Su Ping frowned as if thinking of something unhappy.
"Just what?"
"It's not a big deal."
Su Ping said: "It's just that when we were fetching water, someone found a dry and smelly corpse in the well. It's disgusting. I don't know who threw the corpse into the well. It's so immoral!"
Su Ping, who had always been good-tempered, couldn't help but curse harshly.
Su Heng, who was finishing his meal, thought of what happened more than two months ago when he threw an altar master from the White Lotus Sect and Xu Dacong into a dry well.
His expression suddenly became a little strange.
"What’s wrong with you?"
Seeing his brother's depressed expression, Su Ping asked with some concern.
"It's nothing." Su Heng shook his head and said casually: "I just think that person is indeed quite wicked."
…
Had breakfast.
Su Heng left the courtyard and came to an inconspicuous wine shed in the outer city.
Zhu Hongwu has already booked a table with some wine, meat and vegetables, and is waiting patiently.
"Brother Heng!"
After seeing Su Heng arrive.
Zhu Hongwu immediately stood up and poured wine for Su Heng, "I already have definite information about the things you asked me to help you find out."
"What's the specific situation?"
Su Heng picked up a boiled peanut with chopsticks and put it in his mouth to chew.
In the past month or so, Su Heng had contacted Zhu Hongwu many times. As the number of contacts increased, Su Heng discovered that this young boy did have some abilities.
He has close ties with many gang members around Delling County.
There are many sources of information.
Su Heng asked Xiao Wu to help find out about Wu Kui Mountain and the White Lotus Sect. Of course, he himself had gone deep into Wu Kui Mountain to investigate many times, plus the information channels obtained from the Qingcheng Gang.
With the cooperation of information from three parties, the full story of the matter can be restored and unfolded in front of Su Heng.
He can also use this to obtain some details that he has never noticed before.
"The news about the elixir is true. There is indeed an incredible innate elixir born in Wukui Mountain, but it's just not yet mature. We don't know where this elixir actually grows."
Zhu Hongwu changed the subject, "However, Wukui Mountain is also very dangerous now."
"On the one hand, the strange beasts in the mountains have become more and more restless. Those strange beasts are very powerful. A powerful warrior who has perfected blood refining three times was torn alive by a big insect. It is terrible to see."
"Alien beasts are ferocious, but the more dangerous ones are the demons of the White Lotus Sect."
Zhu Hongwu looked around and found that there was no one around, so he lowered his voice and said: "I heard that the fairy medicine can not only increase people's skills, but also change their innate aptitudes and make warriors reborn.
The White Lotus Sect has regarded the elixir as its own and has sent a large number of masters to station in Wukui Mountain.
Any outsiders, whether they are warriors, merchants, or even herbal collectors in the mountains, will be killed directly if they find them! It’s too overbearing and cruel!”
Zhu Hongwu added: "Moreover, the leader of this operation in the White Lotus Sect is the Right Protector Bai Ruici.
This master is second only to the leader of the White Lotus Sect, and he is known as the deadly scholar. There are five fingers of the number of martial arts masters who have died at his hands with definite records!"
"Bai Ruici..."
Su Heng thought of the time when he attended the auction at Xiangjia Tubao.
Bai Ruici descended from the sky and beat Xiang Yunfei, who was also a martial arts master, to death within ten moves.
The memory is still fresh.
I don't know if he can fight Bai Ruici head-on with his current strength.
Su Heng wouldn't be afraid to shrink back just because he heard Bai Ruici's name, but he wouldn't be stupid enough to have a head-on conflict with the powerful White Lotus Sect.
When planning the precious medicine, Su Heng already had a rough plan in mind.
"I see."
Su Heng's expression remained unchanged, he nodded slightly, and then continued to ask: "Have you brought the things I asked you to find for me?"
"Bring it here!" Zhu Hongwu patted his chest: "What Brother Heng asked me to do, I will do my best to accomplish it!"
As he spoke, he took out a wooden box from his arms as if offering a treasure.
Place it carefully on the table.
Chapter completed!
