Xie Feng lay quietly on the rocking chair, while Cecilia sat next to Xie Feng. She used a small brush to dip some liquid from a small jar and gently applied it to each bee sting on Xie Feng's face.

painted on the place.

These medicinal solutions are honey mixed with water. Strangely enough, Xie Feng always felt that the honey produced by the countless bees raised by Cecilia all looked the same, but Cecilia could

It was determined that each type of honey has different medicinal effects, and some even contain highly toxic substances. Xie Feng didn't know why the same honey had different effects - or how it came about.

I don’t know how Cecilia could tell the medicinal properties of these honeys that looked exactly the same.

Xie Feng was also a glutton in the past. He always liked to drink Cecilia's honey secretly - until he accidentally drank poisonous honey and lay on the ground, foaming at the mouth and twitching for more than ten minutes.

After timely discovery.

"By the way, Brother Xie Feng." Suddenly, Cecilia's voice floated to Xie Feng's ears.

"Huh?" Xie Feng responded and subconsciously opened his eyes.

"Ah!" Xie Feng roared with a voice comparable to that of a butchered pig.

"Ah! Brother Xie Feng, why did you suddenly open your eyes?" Cecilia hurriedly put down the bottle in her hand and ran to a big cabinet to tinker with it. She said hurriedly: "These anti-swelling medicines accidentally got into your eyes.

You could easily go blind if you do."

Xie Feng covered his eyes with his hands and kept struggling on the rocking chair. The rocking chair squeaked as Xie Feng shook.

Soon, Cecilia found an almost identical small bottle from the big cabinet, came to Xie Feng and said with concern: "Brother Xie Feng, please open your eyes..."

Xie Feng endured the severe pain and opened his eyes. At this time, Xie Feng's eyes were already red, and there was basically no white space.

Cecilia frowned, then poured two drops of honey from the bottle with her light hands and dropped it on Xie Feng's eyes.

Xie Feng's eyes suddenly felt cool, and the tingling sensation gradually disappeared.

Cecilia breathed a sigh of relief, and then said: "Okay, just wash your eyes with some water in five minutes."

Xie Fengbai endured such a period of pain. He was a mute and couldn't explain the pain of eating coptis. He could only close his eyes tightly and asked: "What did you call me to do just now?"

"Huh?" Cecilia was stunned, and then asked blankly: "Did I just call you?"

"Oh, it's okay." Xie Feng didn't take it seriously. It was obvious that Xie Feng had become accustomed to Cecilia's personality in the past three years.

"By the way, Brother Xie Feng." Cecilia said again.

"Huh?" Xie Feng asked: "What? (Have you finally remembered?)"

Cecilia said: "Today my adoptive father sent a letter."

"Oh." Xie Feng responded: "Where has that smelly old man gone recently?"

"Uh-huh... don't talk about your adoptive father like that!" Cecilia said slightly angrily.

"Uh... Okay." Xie Feng asked in a different way: "Then where did the wise and martial Uncle Li Wu go?"

"Hehe." Cecilia was amused by Xie Feng, and then said: "He didn't say this. He only said that the things he wanted to investigate have begun to have some clues."

Xie Feng sighed, and then said: "Really, I have heard that he is investigating in the past few years... I don't know what he is investigating, and he is unwilling to tell me when I ask him - by the way, he also said that in his letter

What?"

Cecilia replied: "He said that the leader of the 'Desert Eagle', one of the largest desert bandit gangs in Salander, had a fierce quarrel with the leader of another large desert bandit gang, the 'Puppet'.

Finally, he was killed by the leader of the 'Puppet'."

"Oh." Xie Feng replied: "This is a good thing."

Cecilia shook her head, and then realized that Xie Feng had closed his eyes tightly at this time, unable to see her, so she stuck out her tongue, and then said: "No, the adoptive father also said that now the 'Desert Eagle'

It is ruled by Serla, the daughter of the original leader. And Serla seems to be more ambitious than her father. She has already annihilated the 'Puppets' and collected all the surrendered desert bandits into the 'Desert Eagle'."

"Huh?"

It aroused Xie Feng's idea even more. Why? Is it because it resembles "Sela"?

Cecilia said: "My foster father also said that the 'Desert Eagle' has begun to expand its sphere of influence, and it is estimated that it will extend to Ducuba. Let us be careful." After saying this, he sniffed and said angrily: "

Really, brother Xie Feng, are you going to drink again tonight?"

Xie Feng chuckled, and then said: "Uh, yes, I picked up some money again on the street today..."

Cecilia frowned and said dubiously: "I don't know why you can pick up money all day long... I can't even open the pot at home. It would be nice to buy some food if you find money..."

Xie Feng said: "Actually, I started saying this a few years ago - if you were willing to sell all your honey, we would probably be able to buy a castle by now." In this era of scarcity of medicines, joining Saixi

If Liya sells all the ocean-like honey she has hoarded, she will probably be able to make a lot of money. It’s not that Xie Feng has never thought about this idea, he even plans to sell some secretly. Unfortunately, Xie Feng is now

With his body, it would probably be difficult to carry the small jar of honey that Cecilia is carrying down the mountain. Secondly, Xie Feng would not be able to tell what medicinal effects each type of honey has. If he accidentally takes the highly toxic honey,

If it sells...well, forget it.

Cecilia heard this and said dissatisfied: "Brother Xie Feng, you are here again. I have told you many times. My uncle told me before he died that honey cannot be used to make huge profits, but can only be used to give to those in need.

"People." In addition to being the home of Xie Feng and Cecilia, this small hut is also a small clinic. In the past three years, many people have visited here, all of them suffering from difficult and complicated diseases.

Patients come here because of its reputation. The reason why there is not a huge crowd is because it is difficult to find here. Secondly, if you want to seek medical treatment, you must first be stung half to death by the guard bees on the mountainside. So if you don't have a very difficult to cure disease,

, patients are basically unwilling to come here. Therefore, even though Cecilia's reputation is not low among the people, there are not too many people seeking medical treatment. And every time Cecilia treats a patient, she charges

The medical expenses are also very low, almost just the cost of medicinal honey. Therefore, Cecilia’s life has always been quite poor.

"But..." Xie Feng said: "If we sell all the medicinal honey, wouldn't it benefit more patients?"

Cecilia sighed deeply and said, "My uncle said..."

Xie Feng quickly interrupted: "Okay, okay, don't talk about your uncle. Your uncle is a saint, and your whole family is a saint. Okay..."

Seeing that Xie Feng had said this, Cecilia stopped nagging and just said lightly: "It's time to wash your eyes." Her tone did not cover up the angry attitude of the little girl.

Xie Feng also smiled slightly, then took the bowl of water handed over by Cecilia and began to wash away the liquid in his eyes. While washing, he said: "By the way, if you don't want to sell honey, we can sell other things."

thing."

Cecilia asked in confusion: "Something else?"

Xie Feng said: "Yes, just open a small grocery store at the foot of the mountain. Otherwise, where will the money come from? Not to mention other expenses, it will be midsummer soon, and there will be no flowers blooming near such a high temperature.

Moreover, this is the Sultanate of Salander, and there are fewer surviving plants... The sugar water you feed the bees every day also costs money. If you don't think of a way, where will the money come from?" In the past three years, every summer, Cecilia

The family was living in dire straits. Because in the summer in Salander, where the temperature is over 40 degrees Celsius, almost no plants are blooming, so the bees cannot collect nectar from the flowers, so it is necessary to feed the bees sugar water every day. So ever

, smashing pots and selling iron, all the valuable things in the house were sold, and the new furniture and other things that were bought that year were often sold again in the summer. Every meal Cecilia cooked at home was unpalatable.

The lowest wheat. And every time at this time, Xie Feng would inexplicably "pick it up" every day

I got some food and dinars. Of course, Cecilia, who is short-sighted, has never found any flaws. If he continues to spend the summer like this today, Xie Feng will not be able to bear it anymore.

This made Cecilia a little excited. After thinking about it for a long time, Cecilia said: "But... I have never sold anything before..."

Xie Feng struck while the iron was hot and immediately said: "Who has been in business since birth? Didn't they learn it step by step... I have also read it. Now the money left in our family is enough to run a small shop.

Then we’ll get some more goods…”

Hearing this, Cecilia was shocked and said: "Ah! Brother Xie Feng, did you peek into my small money box?"

Xie Feng shrugged and said indifferently: "What do you mean by secretly watching? It's just that you were still sleeping when I watched...Okay, let's not talk about it anymore, just do what you say, we will go down the mountain to prepare tomorrow!"

After saying that, Xie Feng handed the bowl to Cecilia, then reluctantly stood up from the rocking chair, walked slowly to his bed, and fell asleep.

The dinar currently stored in Xie Feng's inventory is enough to keep Xie Feng and Cecilia safe, and even allow them to live a slightly luxurious life, but the first condition is that the money is not suspicious——

Xie Feng had no intention of letting Cecilia and Li Wu know about the inventory.

The next morning, Boss Xie Feng woke up Cecilia early: "Watermelon! Get up! Feed the early bugs!"

Cecilia sat on the bed, holding her small money box tightly with both hands, and said pitifully to Xie Feng: "I heard from others... doing business is risky... what should we do if we lose money..."

There are only a few hundred dinars in the money box. If you live frugally, you can barely survive this difficult summer. But if you lose it, the bees raised by Cecilia will be

Death due to lack of food.

Xie Feng tugged on Cecilia's clothes and said, "Stop dragging your feet. With your little savings, if we don't give it a try, we will starve to death even if the bees don't starve to death since summer."

Cecilia sniffed and sobbed: "But...but..."

Xie Feng said: "What else is that? You should have heard that I built a factory in Wayezeji. Did the factory ever lose money? On the contrary, it is still famous in mainland China - doesn't this just show that my business

Is there anything you can do? As long as I am here, what are you afraid of?"

Cecilia whispered: "Factories and stores are different..."

Xie Feng said displeased: "What? You don't trust me?"

Hearing this, Cecilia had no choice but to obey.

Before going down the mountain, Cecilia made a special trip to the back of the house, picked a beehive, and carried it on her back.

Xie Feng said: "Isn't it too heavy for you to carry this thing on your back?"

Cecilia said: "My adoptive father said that now almost the whole continent wants Brother Xie Feng's head, so every time Brother Xie Feng goes out, I have to carry a beehive with him to protect Brother Xie Feng... I haven't

As for you, you sneak out every night, causing people to worry about you all the time."

Xie Feng pointed at his uncle-like face and said, "I'm really convinced that anyone can recognize me when I look like this."

At the foot of the mountain, Xie Feng pointed to a dilapidated house at the foot of the mountain and said: "I thought about this house for a long time last night. It can be turned into our grocery store with a little tidying up. If we hire someone to clean it up,
To be continued...
