No wonder this person always felt uncomfortable speaking and seemed slurred. It turned out to be an injury on his tongue.

Jiang Chu looked up and saw what was going on and stopped looking.

"Ah, so scary."

"How did it happen?"

"Just take this medicine?"

"This medicine is not only ineffective, it is also poisonous!"

The passers-by said in shock and deceit.

"Yes, I took this medicine for my tongue. It rotted just after I took it. Now it hurts even to speak. You said this medicine is not yours, but mine? Then I won't give it up just for 100 crystals."

Let your tongue be destroyed!" the man yelled.

At first, everyone thought that he changed the medicine himself, but now they are a little unsure after hearing him say this... Even if it is to extort money, is the cost too high?

“I really didn’t expect your Zhenyao Pavilion to be such a shady store, bah!”

"That's right, the more business you do, the more evil you become! How can this be true?"

…

They were arguing about theirs, and Jiang Chucai was arguing about his own.

Shopkeeper Gu himself is a strong man. How big or small has he never seen before? Although this person made trouble suddenly, Shopkeeper Gu can still handle it well.

Jiang Chu just wanted to know if the person who extorted money accidentally came to his store, or if he had other plans.

After the divination, Jiang Chu looked at the divination for a while and then put it away calmly.

"...Everyone, please listen to me. The injury on this person's tongue is just superficial. It looks deceptive, but it is actually caused by applying hemp palm juice. It is easy to cure it. You only need to drink a glass of water."

Solve yourself." Shopkeeper Gu smiled and looked at the man, "Besides, hemp palm juice has a strong smell, and you can tell if it is there by smelling it. You said it was caused by eating this elixir, but as far as I know, there is no hemp palm juice here.

!So your fake injury has nothing to do with your fake elixir, and what does it have to do with my Zhenyao Pavilion?"

"If you don't believe it, just smell the elixir he brought."

As soon as Shopkeeper Gu finished speaking, the man's eyes began to dodge and wander.

"Let me smell it...it really doesn't smell like hemp palm juice."

"Hey, you said you became like this after taking someone else's elixir. Do you dare to drink some water?"

"That is, if you dare to drink water, then we will believe you!"

a passerby asked the man.

"That's probably because I made a mistake."

The man was not "love to fight" at all. Once he realized that he couldn't frighten shopkeeper Gu, he lowered his head and turned away, leaving a bunch of people pointing at him.

Shopkeeper Gu's level of Xuan-level alchemy is not low, and he knows a lot about pharmacology. This trivial problem can't trouble him at all. When he saw the man leaving, he just shook his head and said, "I'm kidding you guys, I'm sorry.

Yao Ge is a sincere person and does honest business. Please don’t listen to other people’s lies.”

"No, no, we were almost deceived and believed that person's lies."

"The shopkeeper is so awesome. After just a few words, the thief ran away. I just want to buy some medicinal materials, so I can buy them at your house."

…

Zhenyao Pavilion was a blessing in disguise, and because that person promoted a wave of consumption, it made people laugh and cry.

After the guests finished shopping and left one after another, Jiang Chu said, "Uncle Gu, do you recognize that person?"

"I don't recognize him. He has never bought anything from me. I think he is very unfamiliar." Shopkeeper Gu shook his head and looked down at the medicine bottle that the man did not take away. "I don't know who this medicine bottle belongs to."

For him."

"Our Zhenyao Pavilion has been operating with integrity and has been open for many years. The customers are relatively stable. We shouldn't be targeted by our opponents because we have a big reputation." Jiang Chu asked tentatively, "Uncle Gu, you said... he will

Could it be that they were sent by you or my father’s old enemies?”

"Old enemy?"

Uncle Gu was stunned after hearing this, "Even if we have enemies, they are all from when we were bounty hunters before, so we shouldn't..."

Halfway through, he thought of something.

Since his strength stagnated and could no longer be improved, he became the old shopkeeper with peace of mind, and at the same time refined alchemy and studied the alchemy technique.

Over the years of running the shop, there are no enemies. The Zhenyao Pavilion shop is not big or small, and no one would think of them as competitors and cause trouble.

So if it was really sent by the enemy, then it would only be someone from before he became the shopkeeper.

This thought really made Shopkeeper Gu think of something.

But she couldn't say this to Jiang Chu. She had to wait until her father came back before she could discuss it with him.

When Jiang Chu saw his expression, he knew he was remembering something and couldn't help but feel relieved.

Once you know who did it, you can make more preparations so that you don't get targeted and don't know why.

She didn't mean to ask, so she took the elixir and left.

On the way home, Jiang Chu was only thinking about the effect of taking the elixir after returning, and did not pay attention to the situation on the road. He was still a little confused after being suddenly stopped.

"Who called me?"

She looked up, looking confused.

"Girl, it's me, Shopkeeper Liu."

The man in front of her blocked her in the street and was smiling at her, "I was blind before, but I didn't expect the girl to be so powerful!"

Jiang Chu was still confused, "Who are you? Do we know each other?"

As she said that, she looked at Hua Lan.

Hua Lan shook her head repeatedly.

She doesn't know him either.

"Ahem, girl, you are such a noble person and you forget things. A few days ago, didn't you remind me that there would be strong winds and advise me to put away the talismans? I was careless and did not listen to your words, which resulted in heavy losses." Shopkeeper Liu said.

Just smiled bitterly.

Oh, I remembered it.

It turned out that this was the unlucky stall owner whose talisman seals were blown all over the floor by the strong wind, and most of them were picked up by passers-by.

I also advised him to put it away earlier and not put it on the road, but he refused to listen. Later, his brother Jiang Ting said that this man fell ill afterwards and the store was closed for several days.

Jiang Chu looked at Shopkeeper Liu with a look of sympathy on his face, "The shopkeeper has lost a lot of weight."

It had only been a few days since I last saw him, and this man had lost weight, as if he hadn't eaten in several days!

No wonder Jiang Chu didn't recognize him at first sight.

"Oh, it's hard to explain in words. If you have nothing to do, girl, why don't you come in and have a cup of tea? I happen to have something I want to ask the girl for."

Jiang Chu looked at the man and the shop behind him, and nodded, "That's fine."

Hua Lan followed Jiang Chu in with a confused expression——

What are they saying and why can’t I understand it?

"I'm not hiding anything from you. I have something to ask of you."

After inviting Jiang Chu in and pouring tea for her, shopkeeper Liu finally revealed his intention:

"I'm currently facing a dilemma. The money I have left is a bit tight, but the shop still needs to be opened. The whole family is counting on me to eat, drink and live. But the current situation is that the original talisman master wants me to give him a salary increase.

, otherwise he will leave. I have used this person for several years, and I am used to cooperating with him. I don’t really want him to leave, but if I agree to the extra money he mentioned, it may be detrimental to my current life.
