Liao Zhai alchemist

Chapter 43 Clues
Hearing Wang Sheng's words, the mouse looked around subconsciously, then he shook his head and said, "I stayed here early this morning, and until now, you are the only one passing by. If you want to say that there is someone nearby, I am Unbelievable."

Oops, this rat spirit is quite shrewd, not easy to deceive.Wang Sheng secretly complained in his heart.But he still said: "No matter what, this is the city after all, and it is our human territory."

Mouse Jing sighed and said, "That's right! This city is no better than a mountain. Not only do you have to avoid the eyes of the city god, but you also need to beware of humans. Now I don't even have a place to live."

He looked at Wang Sheng, looked at his starched white clothes, looked at his pale face, and then slammed his back hard, and at the same time began to vomit.

After a while, a piece of gold the size of a finger spit out of his mouth, and then he said to Wang Sheng: "Meeting is fate, why don't I go to your house to live. I don't live with you for nothing, so what if the gold is the rent? ?"

When Wang Sheng heard his words, he immediately refused.But when he saw the piece of yellow gold, he hesitated.

He thought of his wife, who starched a lot of clothes every day, and his old mother, who needed to sew and mend.This refusal is like a fishbone stuck in his throat, unable to say anything.

When the big mouse saw it, he pushed the gold with his small paws and said, "You can pick it up and see. I am serious gold. I dug it out in the mountains, not the kind of illegitimate gold."

This yellowish cutie shone brightly in the sun, making Zhang Sheng's heart itch.Finally, he reached out and picked up the piece of gold.

It's heavy to start with, and it doesn't seem like it's fake.Wang Sheng gritted his teeth and said, "You can live in, but you can't scare my mother and daughter-in-law. Can you do this?"

When the rat spirit heard it, he immediately smiled and said, "Of course I can, and I don't want to meet outsiders."

Wang Sheng nodded, then said, "Then come with me."

One person and one mouse crossed this wasteland and came to a small courtyard.The courtyard is a little dilapidated, but kept clean.

This is Wang Sheng's house. He pushed open the door and walked in, just to see his wife put away the last piece of clothing.

Wang Sheng's wife, Mrs. Dong, is mainly responsible for helping others to wash their clothes.Every day I start work before dawn. After starching my clothes, I dry them in the yard. In the afternoon, I iron and fold the dried clothes before giving them to others.

This is an extremely hard job. The clothes that can be sent for washing are thick, heavy and particularly dirty. Otherwise, the people here would not spend this unjustifiable money washing clothes for others. Don’t they have a daughter-in-law?

Washing clothes is very hard, but the income is not small, otherwise, Wang Sheng, a full-time scholar, would not be able to support.Reading can cost money. Pen, ink, paper, inkstone, and the academy's beam repairs all cost money.

Looking at the lady's white hands, Wang Sheng's heart flashed a hint of distress, he quickly walked up and said, "My lady, I'm back, I brought you some melon seeds that you like to eat."

Looking at her husband, Dong shi couldn't help but have a smile on his face.Then she frowned at the melon seeds in his hand and complained, "You're spending money on things again."

Wang Sheng said with a smile: "Today I went to Zhang's house. When the young master of Zhang's family left, everyone gave a coin to each of them, thinking that the Mid-Autumn Festival is coming soon, it will be cold every day, and the lady is working hard to do laundry, so I bought some melon seeds as a reward. You should too."

Hearing her husband's words, Dong's heart was as sweet as honey.After she married into this family, she starched and washed clothes every day to support her family, but she didn't feel hard at all, because she had a talented husband, and this husband took good care of him.

Zhang Sheng said, and took out the money in his arms.He didn't take out the gold because it was hard to explain.

The so-called dangling of money does not stipulate that it is a thousand pennies.Sometimes [-] or [-] wen will be hung with ropes, which is equivalent to a whole coin.

Zhang Wei is not a stingy person, his money is one hundred cents.

Looking at the hanging money, Mr. Dong did not accept it, but said, "Just take this hanging money, you need some money to protect yourself when you go out a lot."

Wang Sheng said, "No, I'll ask you if I want money. You're the housekeeper."

Hearing what he said, Dong shi happily put away the money.

While the couple were talking, the big mouse slipped into the yard, found a room and got in.

The room he entered happened to be Wang Sheng's mother's room.

Wang Sheng's mother sat on the window sill and sewed clothes in the sunshine, and it was her job to help the neighbors to sew and mend.Years of threading needles has made her eyesight not as good as before, which is now myopia.

She didn't even realize that a mouse that big got in.

The big mouse got under the bed in the room, finally heaving a sigh of relief.He thought to himself: "This family's popularity is covering up, those ghosts and ghosts shouldn't be able to find me! Luckily, I even found a famous person."

Those who are famous and famous have a certain amount of face in the underworld.

On the other side, Zhang Wei finally blocked the Taoist Tongguang who went out early and returned late every day.

"Master, I want to learn alchemy." Zhang Wei said sincerely.

"Why do you want to learn everything? I won't, go away." Tongguang said impatiently.

"Master, I really want to learn." Zhang Wei didn't want to give up.

Tongguang finally sighed, and he said, "You kid doesn't even have mana, what are you going to use to make alchemy? Right now, it's just burning some ordinary fire and making some medicine."

"The master gave me a recipe for Longxiangdan?" Zhang Wei said with a gloomy expression.

"I gave you that pill recipe to make you give up. Are keel bones and elephant bones so easy to find? It's not difficult to refine this pill recipe, the main thing is that the materials are hard to find. We don't produce elephant bones here, so the thing is Only in the South."

Hearing what he said, Zhang Wei sighed in his heart.Does he really want to learn alchemy?
Of course not!He just wanted to cover up the alchemy furnace in his mind, just to make a cover.Otherwise, when he takes out the medicinal pill, it will be revealed.

Every lie needs more lies to cover up.

However, the keel and elephant bones mentioned by the master are rare, so what happened to the Hu family?

It seems that this hospital is not easy.

After sending Zhang Wei away, Tongguang and Qingsong sat together, Tongguang said: "Today, I caught the aura of a goblin, but when I went to look for it, the aura disappeared again."

Qingsong nodded and said, "I checked it too. During this time, there are indeed many fairies coming out of Eshan. It seems that something big has happened in Eshan. We just can't catch the fairy's tail, and we don't know what happened to Eshan. matter."

Tongguang sighed and said, "I hope it's not a troublesome thing."
