Chapter 50: Rare is precious
The moment Yang Shibei entered the room again, there was an illusion, as if Ma Rui's head was shaved, a swaying candlelight reflected.
But in a blink of an eye, everything returned to normal. Ma Rui stood up impatiently and rubbed his hands, his mouth began to restlessly: "It smells so good!"
"Well! I just caught it in the afternoon!" Yang Shibei put the plum wine and a few side dishes on the table, and called the guy behind her to put four crabs with a small face similar to her, and said as if asking for credit: "I went to the market in the morning and no one sold it, so I specially found a fisherman to catch it in the afternoon."
"Thank you, thank you!" Ma Rui looked at the orange-yellow crab, his index finger moved, and he immediately took the shell regardless of the heat just out of the pot.
The guy next to him flashed his eyes, and his eyes were like seeing a monster. Even though he was about to exit the door, he still kept observing the strange young master of the Ma family.
Yang Shibei closed the door and sat at the table, neither eating nor drinking, just holding her chin with both hands, watching Ma Rui's juice splashing.
"Master, will you become stronger when you eat these things?" Unprepared, Yang Shibei suddenly spoke.
When Ma Rui heard this, his movements were frozen in an instant, and the hairs behind him stood up, and several years passed in his mind.
"What's going to become stronger? Do you really think this thing is strong?" After a pause, Ma Rui finally chose to pretend to be stupid and half-jokingly haha and wanted to get away with it: "I can't stand it if someone just uses my hands!"
"Is this the master's secret?" Yang Shibei nodded and understood, her bright eyes flashed, and she said sincerely: "I won't tell others, don't worry, master."
Having said this, if you continue to argue, it will be easy to alienate Yang Shibei and increase the possibility of secret leakage. Ma Rui did not intend to kill Yang Shibei to silence him.
At this moment, it would be better to pull Yang Shibei to his side. Ma Rui put down the half-eat crab in his hand, took a deep breath, and slowly exhaled: "The mental method I practice requires monster materials to serve as medicine."
As a medicine quotation, it was just an excuse to think of. I watched too many TV series in my previous life. Most of the medicine quotations are strange, such as sugarcane that has been frost for three years, crickets with original intact, and steamed buns dipped in human blood. Ma Rui used this to explain the role of monster materials.
The cultivation of the mind combines the actual situation of Qiyuan 6 and adapts to local conditions. The mind method is like the life gate. Without the consent of the master, let alone the cultivation method of the mind method, even the name of the mind method is sometimes taboo.
Yang Shibei nodded slightly, her eyes flashing, and she couldn't tell whether she believed it or not.
"Master is a weird person," Ma Rui continued to add, pushing everything on the non-existent master: "Otherwise, I wouldn't have been alone in seclusion in the deep mountains."
After saying that, Ma Rui was a little guilty and his eyes were vague. He looked at Yang Shibei for a while, and wanted to get some feedback from the other person's expression. He then stared at the crab on the table, pretending to be calm.
"Master, I'm very happy to be able to help you keep the secret." Yang Shibei didn't seem to care about the truth at all, but Ma Rui's attitude made her happy without shy away from her.
"Uh..." Ma Rui picked up half of the crab again and chewed it, picked up the question and asked, "Where is the remaining snake gall?"
"I poured it into the wine jar again..." Yang Shibei stretched out her tongue.
"Ha?" Ma Rui was also stunned, and threw it in half after eating?
"My mother has been here today, and I'm afraid she will see it." Yang Shibei explained: "We can take it away when we leave in the wine jar."
Ma Ruishu breathed a sigh of relief, indeed his own negligence, and said softly: "Thank you."
"Master, let's eat." Yang Shibei pursed her lips shyly, her eyes were confusing, and she said quietly: "I've been sleeping for so long during the day, but I'm afraid I can't fall asleep at night?"
Such obvious ambiguous hints, and the coquettishness and sound of waves, reminded of Yang Shibei's coquettish attitude and the sound of the waves this morning, Ma Rui felt a little panicked.
At present, Yang Shibei is very pleased with Ma Rui and flatters him in every way. He also keeps some secrets together, which keeps the relationship between them warms up.
Spiritually speaking, keeping secrets is equivalent to sharing information. The greater the amount of information, the higher the degree of compatibility between each other. Especially if only the information that only two people know will make each other feel more dependent and finally achieve the feeling of being lucky enough to meet a soulmate.
Physically, although Ma Rui has not completed the last passage to Yang Shibei's soul, he can be considered a relative of the body. If, according to the saying of a couple having a hundred days of gratitude, there is at least fifty days of friendship now, how can he leave apart and keep people from thousands of miles away?
It's a headache!
The room was as quiet as if no one was there. A man and a woman looked red with candlelight and said nothing for a while. Occasionally, a man broke a crab leg in his hand and made a crisp sound.
"That... do you know which three types of snake galls are from?" The atmosphere was so awkward. After hesitating for a while, Ma Rui decided to avoid the topic.
Maybe the topic was jumping too fast, Yang Shibei was stunned, with a hint of disappointment flashing in her eyes, but she quickly adjusted and still took a well-educated posture, introducing: "Four-clawed Wind Snake, Golden Horned Snake, and the dune dune python with half of the snake gall left."
"Oh..." Ma Rui nodded with long tone.
Ma Rui instantly understood that the ability of the pores to disperse wind should come from the four-clawed wind snake. The hardening of the head must be the golden-horned snake. The rest that did not work was probably the dune digging python.
"I'll go and fish out that half of the snake gall?" Yang Shibei asked when she saw Ma Rui's expression was still unsatisfied.
"No, no." Ma Rui's head shook as if it was touched with electricity. His terrible taste memory was vivid in his mind. At least he would not want to try it again today.
"The good medicine is bitter." Yang Shibei also guessed some clues. The reason why there is only half of the snake gall is probably because Ma Rui couldn't speak, so he persuaded: "Snake gall is really a good thing, it is the most valuable thing on the snake."
The speaker had no intention, and Yang Shibei didn't understand the efficacy of medicinal materials, but she knew the rules of the clinic's business. The better the efficacy of medicinal materials, the higher the price. It is also aphrodisiac, and leeks and tiger whips are not the same price.
At the moment, I just want to persuade Ma Rui to take the courage to finish the snake gall, and it doesn’t matter what disease it can cure, anyway, it’s not harmful.
These words came to Ma Rui's ears, like the sound of a bronze bell, deafening!
It seemed like a flash of lightning passed by in my mind, and my body trembled suddenly. I stared at Yang Shibei with wide eyes and disbelief, and my eyes gradually burned.
"Master..." Yang Shibei thought she had said the wrong thing and explained timidly: "If you don't eat, don't eat it, it's okay."
"Ask you, is pork neck the most expensive among pork?" Ma Rui suddenly asked.
"Ha?" Yang Shibei was at a loss by Ma Rui's jumping thinking, and hesitated for a while before nodding: "That's right."
"What does it mean to count? Yes, no, no." Ma Rui was very dissatisfied with Yang Shibei's vague answer.
"The most expensive one should be pine meat." Yang Shibei explained aggrievedly: "It's just that pine meat is on the pork neck."
Ma Rui's heart was brighter.
"Is that Xiong Bai the most expensive meat on the bear?" Ma Rui continued to verify.
"No." Yang Shibei's answer was extremely clear this time: "Of course the most expensive one is Bear's paw."
"Isn't it?" Ma Rui was a little confused and murmured: "That's wrong again."
"What's wrong?" Yang Shibei was confused, feeling that Ma Rui seemed to be very strange, and added worriedly: "I don't know much about the medicinal materials. Do you want to ask Mr. Gu?"
"Mr. Gu is still here?" Ma Rui looked at the sky outside the window and asked back
"Yes! Just have dinner downstairs!" Yang Shibei pointed to Ma Rui's chest: "I'll change the dressings for the owner later."
Ma Rui nodded and did not continue to ask about the Frost Blade Tiger Whip. He knew that the thing was expensive without asking, so he already had a rough idea.
Although it seems a bit biased, overall, it has been concluded that if you want to gain the ability of a monster, you must eat the most valuable part of the monster!
The pig neck of the iron-backed steel-bed porcupine, the tiger whip of the frost-blade tiger, and the effects of the two snake galls have been proved. Especially the golden-horned snake, Ma Rui had eaten the golden-horned snake bone powder and snake shed before, but it had no effect, and swallowed the snake gall to take effect immediately. It can be seen that the restrictions on obtaining the ability of monsters, which can also explain why eating several types of rhinoceros horned beast hoof powder is useless, because nail powder is not valuable!
Speaking of Cao Cao, Cao Cao is here.
The footsteps of the stairs gradually approached. He knocked on the door twice and asked softly: "Miss, is Mr. Ma awake?"
"Please come in, please come in!" Ma Rui asked anxiously and immediately responded.
Mr. Gu pushed open the door, squeezed in, and smiled and said, "I'm going to offend you again, Master Ma!"
"Where is it? I'm going to bother you again!" Ma Rui clasped his fists and smiled. The small wound on his chest had scarred, but in fact, it's not much different whether he changed the medicine or not.
"Hey! It should be." Mr. Gu saw that Ma Rui was still eating crabs, and he didn't urge him. He stood aside and waited quietly, with no impatience on his face.
"I'm done with it, take it away." Ma Rui waved his hand. Where is the mood to eat at this moment?
Yang Shibei clicked lightly and stood up and started to clean up the dishes, with skillful movements.
Mr. Gu looked at him with his eyes twitching. The young lady who usually shouted at the guy actually acted so virtuously in front of this young master. It seems that the clinic will change its surname sooner or later!
"Uh, Mr. Gu, ask you something." Ma Rui untied his clothes and exposed his wounds while chatting casually: "Is there Xiong Bai in our store?"
"No." Mr. Gu shook his head: "There are few people who use flashy medicinal materials."
As the old doctor in Fenglin Town said, there seem to be many medicinal materials that can replace Xiong Bai.
"Where is the bear's paw?" Ma Rui asked.
"Bear paw is just a delicacy and has nothing to do with medicinal materials." Mr. Gu shook his head and muttered while applying medicine to Ma Rui: "This man, once he has money, he always has to search for strange things and eat something that ordinary people cannot eat to show his identity."
Ma Rui nodded in recognition, although he was a little curious and wanted to try it out.
