Chapter 7: Cool Night in Nancheng, Long Road to the North Country
The next day, the scenery was beautiful, and there was a huge crowd of people outside the inn, which was very lively.
Su Yan was lying on the edge of the bed, thinking that he had finally come to Chucheng and had a lot of fun. Without saying anything, he went to pester Zuo Qing. Unexpectedly, this man fell into meditation holding a book, and Li Chen came to join in the fun, so he let him
Accompanying me. But after wandering around for half a day, I always felt that something was missing. In the end, I only ate a bowl of noodles and returned to the inn listlessly.
Li Chen hugged Zhu Zhu and said with aggrieved face: "Ayan, you don't like me anymore!"
Su Yan glanced at him and continued to pick his teeth.
"You used to only be with me, but now Zuo Qing is here, well, your soul has been taken away!"
Su Yan rinsed his mouth, broke off an orange, ate it and said, "Are you jealous or have you not taken your medicine? Even without Zuo Qing, I wouldn't bother to talk to you at all. Look at you, have you ever done anything important? Just do something strenuous.
You're not going to please me, just learn from Zuo Qing, who is well-educated and educated and rich, but you are illiterate!"
Li Chen wiped his mouth in grievance: "I..."
"What am I? Hurry up and get me a glass of water!"
Li Chen didn't dare to say anything anymore and trotted into the kitchen. Su Yan stood on tiptoes and looked at his back. When he walked into the kitchen, he immediately ran upstairs and closed the door. He was really too lazy to answer!
The night is getting darker and there are fewer people on the main street.
Zuo Qing lit the fire fold and stared at the bamboo slip fragments on the table, his expression changing from indifferent to cold. The words and symbols as small as ants, under the beating firelight, were like religious secret scrolls that shocked the soul.
The weapon manual that everyone regards as a treasure is now just a fragment, stained with blood and attached to the soul. How many people are running for it and killing each other, and how many people have lost their families and lives because of it. However, there are still people in the six countries who are ready to use it to revive the past.
.
Zuo Qing couldn't help but feel a chill on his back. Now that he holds the center of the world's weapons in his hands, what kind of bloody storm will happen once he finds the remaining parts!
There was a movement outside the door, and he hurriedly put away his treasures and turned around to go out.
He saw that the door of Su Yan's room was wide open. He approached suspiciously, but it was Li Chen.
He looked around and asked him: "Where is Su Yan?"
Li Chen raised his head and glanced at him, feeling jealous and angry, "What are you doing with Ayan?!"
"Nothing, just asking casually."
Li Chen said angrily: "I went to the kitchen to make porridge for you, damn! I have never eaten anything she made in my life. Who do you think you are? Why do you let Ayan cook it for you?"
When Zuo Qing heard that Su Yan was not there, he turned around and left, and saw her holding a bowl and grinning at him.
He said: "Since you are free, let's go to the market."
"What to do?"
"Help you sell medicine."
Su Yan then remembered what her master had told her, but she still wanted to play for a few days...
Zuo Qing saw her little thought, "Let's sell the medicinal materials first. We have to rush back to Kuai Feng Town as soon as possible." After saying this, he took the porridge bowl from her hand and went downstairs.
"But...but I just came to Chucheng, I should go to the lively places first..."
Zuo Qing kept walking, "Are you rich?"
"With Li Chen, I can just watch and buy it!"
Zuo Qing stopped and smiled helplessly, "I once heard a friend say that the most unbelievable words in the world are those of women, so your words are unconvincing."
Su Yan wanted to refute, but found that what Bing Bing said was true to his grandfather's point!
One was walking in front carrying a medicine basket, and the other was following behind with a cold face. The one in front looked back from time to time to see if he was following. Seeing his expression, he felt disgusted in his heart, as if he owed him money!
As they walked, Zuo Qing passed Su Yan, turned around and walked into a busy alley, and stopped moving. Su Yan turned around in the alley like a nail, "Eh? This is not what I did yesterday.
Where have you been late?"
Zuo Qing smiled half-heartedly: "Since you've been here before, you don't need me to lead the way. Just go in."
Su Yan looked depressed: "You can sell all the medicine by going to a brothel? Are you kidding me?"
Zuo Qing ignored him and walked straight in. Su Yan had no choice but to follow her like a tail. After taking a few steps, she bumped into a soft object. She rubbed her forehead and looked up to see the object, but was shocked.
Startled.
The old bustard shook her feather fan and looked at her calmly, "I just saw her yesterday, and now you are here again. I say brother, you don't have to be so impatient, right? There are many girls, you can come anytime you want, don't
Are you in a hurry?" As he spoke, his neck twisted back and forth, and his buttocks were also very flexible when it came to emotional points.
Su Yan hurriedly took a few steps back and said with a straight face: "I really disappoint you. I'm not here to find a girl this time." She showed the medicine basket on her shoulder, "I'm... here to sell medicine."
The madam paused and suddenly laughed, "Selling medicine? Abortion medicine?"
"You are really kidding me. I only sell medicine to detoxify, dispel cold, and cure rheumatism, swelling and pain from bruises and numbness in the limbs. I also treat insomnia, beautiful skin, and rotten flesh."
Zuo Qing stood aside with a calm expression and did not say a word.
"The girls here eat and drink well and no one dares to bully her. She doesn't need medicine for bruises. Instead, she needs to save a few copies of abortion medicine. Since you don't have it, you're in the wrong place."
Su Yan thought to himself, "Hey guys, this is a black shop that only lets girls have abortions!" He gave up after thinking this.
"Wait a minute." Zuo Qing bowed to the old bustard, "People will always have some minor ailments, so it's always good to be prepared. These medicinal materials are all picked from the cliffs, and they are considered to be the best among herbal medicines.
I will sell it to you today and we can discuss the price."
The madam looked at Su Yan's thin shoulders, and a trace of doubt appeared on his face, "There are many dangerous cliffs. I think your small body may be tired even if you climb a slope. How can you climb up?"
Su Yan said proudly: "It's really not me! I have followed my master to the mountains and seas since I was a child. Climbing cliffs has long been a daily routine. To be honest with you, the most precious medicinal materials in the mountains grow in the most hidden and dangerous places. Those places
It’s not accessible to ordinary people! You won’t lose money if you buy it!”
The madam heard what she said sincerely, thought for a moment, greeted the maid, said a few words, and then said no more.
Su Yan looked at the old madam's weird expression and felt a little embarrassed. He wanted to drag Zuo Qing out several times. Not long after, he saw the maid coming back with a lacquered wooden box the size of a fan, and handed it to her with a smile on her face.
Su Yan.
"This is…"
"Money! You don't want it?" The madam looked at her unseen face and couldn't help but laugh, "Brother, are you crazy?"
Zuo Qing patted Su Yan, "You haven't thanked me yet?"
Su Yan came back to his senses and hurriedly took the box. After weighing the weight, he couldn't help but sigh: "I've always heard people in the town say that Chu City is full of gold, and anyone is richer than Rong Guo. Now it seems true. Sister.
, you are making so much money here, is there any way to make money?"
Zuo Qing glanced at her in surprise, hurriedly chased her behind him, and said to the madam: "The days are long, see you soon."
Su Yan reluctantly said: "Sister, please use it first. After a few months, send someone to Kuai Feng Town to pick it up. If you buy more, you will get more, and there will be no adulteration!"
The madam couldn't help but laugh a little: "Then do you still need a way to make money?"
"Of course I do. If you can tell me, I'd be very grateful!"
"Goodbye, farewell!" Zuo Qing said as he dragged Su Yan out. This woman is really obsessed with money. She wants to make any money. Sooner or later, she will be sold and still help count the money!
Su Yan suddenly thought of something, locked the door and shouted to the old madam: "Kuaifeng Town Hongju Tavern, sister, don't find the wrong one!"
The main street is full of people eating late-night snacks and teasing women from good families. Su Yan followed Zuo Qing and said reluctantly: "I finally found a way to make money, what are you doing to me?!"
Zuo Qing shook his head and smiled bitterly: "Are you also involved in the brothel business? Aren't you afraid that Su Ming will tear you into pieces?"
"That miser of his has money and is his mother. How could he kill me, a cash cow! Besides, I didn't go to a brothel to sell myself. Don't you think that I'm too dirty?!"
"Then you are?"
"O madam! Open a brothel, I will be the madam, and the master will sell wine. It's the best of both worlds!"
Zuo Qing breathed a sigh of relief and almost didn't catch it. She didn't want to talk to him anymore and left quickly.
Su Yan raised his two short legs and chased after him and said, "The things are done, can we go play?"
"I've finished my business and will set off back tomorrow."
Su Yan was extremely reluctant, "It's still too early! Let's stay for a few more days. Chu City is so big and it will be fun, by the way! You are here to do something, so you must have an acquaintance. Let's make an appointment and let's play together!"
"No need."
Su Yan persuaded him without feeling tired: "Then I will find another doctor for you. Although your hand is healed, you still need to make up for it. The doctor in Chucheng must be great!"
Zuo Qing ignored him and continued walking to the inn.
Su Yan was angry and helpless. He said good things all the way to no avail. After returning to the inn, Li Chen also came to join in the fun and ran out jumping. When he saw Su Yan, he smiled and said, "I'm back now. My father is prepared."
Get the carriage and set off tonight."
Su Yan's slender eyebrows were like thousands of troops coming down, fierce and fierce, "You come to join in the fun, why don't you stay where you want!"
Li Chen didn't know how to retreat despite the difficulties. Instead, he grabbed her sleeves like a dog-skin plaster, "Ayan, did he bully you? I'll beat him for you!"
Su Yan slapped him in the face: "I told you to stay wherever you like, don't force me to take action!" After saying that, he threw away his sleeves and left.
Li Chen hugged the stair railing, his face burning with pain.
My biological sister! She has obviously taken action.
Seeing that Zuo Qing was about to close the door, Su Yan turned sideways and nimbly slipped through the crack of the door. A trace of surprise flashed across Zuo Qing's face, then calmed down.
Su Yan picked up the teacup on the table and poured himself a cup of tea, moistened his throat, and then said: "I sent you to Chucheng after all, why didn't you listen to me once? The medicinal materials were also sold, and your business
After finishing it, it’s time to go around and have some fun. Just go back like this. I don’t know when I can come to Chucheng again.”
Zuo Qing interrupted her and said, "Your master should be anxious."
Su Yan put the tea cup on the table, "Yes, yes! Just go back when you go back. You should also go back to your Rong country!"
She disappeared at the door, but that smile was right in front of her eyes. Zuo Qing couldn't help but raise the corners of her lips, picked up the teacup she used and poured herself a cup. From the corner of her eye, she caught a glimpse of the fading night outside the window, and the luster at the corners of her lips dimmed instantly.
