Ning Yao woke up leisurely and slept very sweetly and soundly. When she opened her eyes, she found herself sitting on a stool. She was a little confused. After a moment of daze, she got up and opened the door. She saw an old man and a young child sitting in the corridor outside the door.
, the two dull gourds did not speak. After hearing Ning Yao's footsteps, Chen Ping'an turned his head and said with a smile: "Wake up, I see you are sleeping deeply, I didn't call you before."
Ning Yao nodded, not caring about this, and asked: "Senior Yang?"
The old man said angrily: "Why, I'm afraid that Chen Ping'an will take advantage of you while you're sleeping. Don't worry, I'll keep an eye on you. He only has a thief's heart but no courage."
Chen Ping'an quickly explained: "Miss Ning, don't listen to Grandpa Yang's nonsense, I promise you don't have any evil intentions!"
Ning Yao made a gesture with his hands to make his Dantian sink with anger, and told himself: "My lord, there are a lot of them."
The old man glanced sideways at the straw-shoe boy and said cheerfully, "Seven orifices are open to six, but none is clear."
The rain was already very light, so the old man said straightforwardly: "Go back and get the bag of support money, and then pay for this little girl's tablets and your next medication together."
Ning Yao frowned and said: "What kind of medicinal materials are so expensive in Yang's shop?!"
The old man said calmly: "When people are about to starve to death, how much is the steamed bun in my hand worth?"
Ning Yao said in a deep voice: "You are taking advantage of the situation!"
The old man smoked dry cigarettes so fiercely that his entire upper body was shrouded in light smoke. Then from the "sea of ​​clouds" came the old man's hoarse and cold voice: "You are asking for high prices and sitting on the floor to pay back. That is the business of inferior businessmen. I can't do it."
, my rules here are the same, there is only one fixed price, whether you like to buy or sell, you like to sell."
Ning Yao wanted to speak, but she found Chen Ping'an pulling at her sleeves and winking secretly. In the end, she swallowed the bad breath.
The medicinal herbs produced in this small cave are indeed of high quality. However, the Lizhu Xiao Cave, which is well-known in Dongbaopingzhou, has never been famous for its heavenly materials and earthly treasures. Instead, it is famous for its "porcelain" and chance treasures.
Move the world. So even if the medicinal materials in Yang's shop are piled up in mountains, they are not worth a few gold coins.
The old man shook his cigarette rod and said, "The rain has stopped. Don't be shy, you two. Don't flirt with me here."
Chen Pingan took Ning Yao's arm and walked down the steps, walked through the main hall of the shop and came to the street. Chen Pingan asked with a smile: "Can't you figure it out? It's okay, Grandpa Yang is just like this. He doesn't like to talk to you about favors. What can you do?
They are all... fair, yes, they are very fair. Ning Yao sneered: "Fair? Everyone has a scale in their heart, why does he think he is fair? Just because of his age?"
Chen Pingan shook his head and said: "I don't think that spending a bag of copper coins is being taken advantage of."
Ning Yao glanced at the young man and said, "If you can hang around for ten years and repeat this sentence, you will win!"
Chen Ping'an smiled and said, "We'll talk about it then."
Ning Yao sighed, there was really nothing he could do to him, "Where to go next?"
Chen Pingan thought for a while, "Go to the shop to see how Liu Xianyang is doing, and by the way, pull out your knife from the ground."
Ning Yao said resolutely: "Then lead the way."
She suddenly asked: "Are you okay?"
Chen Pingan grinned, "There is no big problem, but apart from practicing boxing, I have to cook medicine and take medicine like you every day. Grandpa Yang said that if the effect is not good, you may have to spend more money."
Ning Yao asked doubtfully: "Do you really believe it?"
Chen Ping'an smiled and shook his head, as if he didn't bother to discuss such issues with her at all.
After walking out of the town, he rolled up his sleeves, took off the clothes-pressing knife, and gave it back to the girl.
She hid the clothes-pressing knife and went to retrieve the narrow knife that had been stepped into the ground by the mountain ape. As for the scabbard that was given away, Chen Ping'an temporarily stored it with Ning Yao. She hung it on her waist.
So the flying sword finally found a place to stay.
When Chen Ping'an and Ning Yao walked to the south end of the covered bridge, they saw a girl in Tsing Yi with a ponytail sitting on the top of the steps, holding her cheeks in her hands and staring into the distance, leaving the two of them with their backs.

In the backyard of Yang's shop, the old man who was alone put away his cigarette pole, waved his hand, and dispersed the smoke around him, and said: "Don't worry, when the matter is completed, I promise to give you the immortal body of the river woman. As for whether it will be possible in the future."
To truly achieve the true form of a god and be promoted to a river god, it depends on your own destiny."
Finally, the old man knocked the cigarette pole gently on the ground, looked up towards the small town of Laohuai, and said with his tongue: "The tree fell and the hozens scattered."

The three carriages drove towards Mud Bottle Lane one after another.
The King of the Great Li clan really couldn't understand why his nephew wanted to compete with a young man from a back alley.
He even has a knot in his heart.
Song Changjing smiled and said: "Anyway, since I have intervened in this confusing dispute between you and Chen Ping'an once, I will not mess with it anymore. You can solve it on your own."
Finally, Song Changjing reminded: "You can have a personal relationship with Zhengyang Mountain, but don't get involved too deeply."
Song Jixin was delighted: "Personal friend? Are you talking about that little girl? Haha, it's just for fun, not really a friendship."
Song Changjing smiled and said: "It's just for fun, just give away a sword gourd?"
Song Jixin angrily stopped talking.
The carriage couldn't enter the alley, and Song Changjing didn't want to get out of the car. Song Jixin got out of the car alone and found that it was raining. It was still a drizzle of spring rain, but it had a tendency to get heavier and heavier.
He quickly ran into Mud Bottle Alley and came to his yard. After pushing the door open and entering, he saw Zhigui sitting on the threshold of the main house, she was in a daze.
Song Jixin smiled and shouted: "Let's go, Master, I will take you to the Great Li Capital City to learn more!"
Zhigui came back to his senses, "Ah? Leaving so soon?"
Song Jixin nodded and said: "Anyway, everything has been packed a long time ago. With the two big boxes in my house, plus your small box, our family has left nothing behind for those who can and want to move it out. Let's leave early."
It’s no different if you leave late.”
Zhigui put his chin on his knees and said sadly, "Yes, this is our home."
Song Jixin sighed, sat on the threshold with her, stretched out his hand to wipe the rain off his forehead, and said softly: "Why, you can't bear to leave? If you really can't bear to leave, then let's leave later. It's okay. I'll go with you."
Say hello."
Zhigui suddenly laughed, stretched out his fist and shook it vigorously, "No need! Just leave, no one is afraid of whom!"
Song Jixin reminded: "Don't forget that four-legged snake."
Zhigui suddenly became furious and said angrily: "That idiot who got a thousand cuts sneaked into my box and lay down under it yesterday. I searched for it for a long time. After I finally found it, there were several rouge boxes under the box.
They’re all so dirty! It’s an unpardonable crime and there’s no way to escape the death penalty!”
Song Jixin began to worry about the fate of the four-legged snake, and asked tentatively: "Isn't that idiot... killed by you?"
Zhigui shook his head, "No, let's keep it alive for now, and settle the accounts with it after we get to the capital. By the way, sir, when we get to the capital, let's raise a few more old hens, okay? At least five!"
Song Jixin said strangely: "Eggs are enough to eat, why do you still need to buy them? Don't you always think that our old hen is too noisy?"
Zhigui said seriously: "When the time comes, I will tie a rope around the feet of each old hen, and then tie it to the four legs and head of that idiot. As long as I am unhappy, I can drive away the old hen. Otherwise
That four-legged snake is so stupid that it doesn't run very slowly. It exhausted me to death every time before, and it only made me angrier..."
Listening to his maid's thoughts, Song Jixin's mind was filled with the scene of the execution, and he said to himself: "Isn't it divided by five horses... Oh no, it's divided by five chickens."
Song Jixin laughed heartily.
Zhigui was used to his young master's unconstrained thinking, so he was not surprised. He just asked: "Sir, the box is so heavy, how can the two of us carry it? There are also some good things, so we didn't throw away what should be thrown away."
Song Jixin stood up and snapped his fingers: "Come out, I know you are hiding nearby, could you please carry the box to the carriage."
There was no response from around.
Song Jixin was silent for a long time, and said with a gloomy face: "Get out! Believe it or not, I'll ask my uncle to move it in person?!"
After a while, several hidden figures appeared quietly from the rooftops across the Mud Bottle Lane, onto the alley, or in the alley outside the courtyard gate.
A total of five dead men in black filed in after the leader opened the door.
The leader hesitated for a moment, clasped his fists and said in a low voice: "It was my duty before, so I didn't dare to show up without permission. I hope Your Highness will forgive me."
Song Jixin said expressionlessly: "Business about your business."
The man kept his head lowered, "I dare to ask Your Highness to help explain something to the prince."
Song Jixin said impatiently: "My uncle will argue with you about such a trivial matter?!"
The five people remained motionless, standing in the yard in the drizzle, refusing to move even to the death.
Song Jixin compromised and said, "Okay, I will explain the situation to you."
Only then did the five people enter the house. The three men in black easily carried the boxes respectively. The first and last two escorted them with their bare hands. After walking slowly into Mud Bottle Alley, they all ran away.
Song Jixin was thoughtful.
