Liao Zhai alchemist

Chapter 6 Tufuzi

Outside Eshan County, there is a tea stall made of grass huts on the khaki-colored soil official road.

Although the large bowl of tea boiled with scattered tea stalks is not fragrant and pleasant, it can be drunk here for only a penny, and it is also a good place for travelers to rest.

At the moment, the small tea stall is booming. The store owner is carrying a large teapot to refill the guests, while asking passers-by curiously.

"Guest, what happened? Why are so many people leaving the city?"

The guest took a sip of tea, and then said: "If you say it is the Zhang family, a wealthy family in the city, the Zhang family is buying something called 'earth dog'. The Zhang family buys this thing for one hundred taels of silver. Woolen cloth."

"Ah! Is there such a good thing?" The shopkeeper was overjoyed, and randomly glanced at a dog lying next to him.

The dog keenly sensed the owner's gaze, raised his head and showed an innocent little look.

When the guest saw it, he immediately sneered and said, "Don't think about it, it's not this kind of dog."

When the shopkeeper heard this, he was a little unhappy.He said: "What's the matter with my dog, he is a serious dog, definitely enough dirt."

The guest smiled and said, "It's useless no matter how dirty it is, if it's not, it's not. There are no people who go to Zhang's house with a soil dog these days."

After saying this, the store owner finally gave up.It is also said that although his native dog is dirty, it is not the only one.

This kind of easy earning of a hundred taels, where it is his turn, he is still an honest water seller.

Among these tea drinkers, three sat on the tables of the tea stalls, which were qualified for high-spending people. They had to order a pot of tea, which cost five renminbi.

Moreover, there is actually dried meat on the table of the guests at this table, which is a waste of money.

There were three people at the table. They were drinking tea and eating fried beans. One of them, a skinny man, said, "Second brother, what they call a local dog..."

The person he was talking to was a strong-looking man. He took a sip of tea and said lightly: "Shut up, wait until the elder brother comes."

The man nodded and stopped talking.

Not long after, there was the sound of bells on the road, and a man dressed as a Taoist came over on a black donkey.

There was a bell hanging around the black donkey's neck, and the bell swayed as it walked, making a melodious sound.

And this Taoist man was white and beardless, and he was wearing a half-new seven-star Taoist robe, which was named after the seven Big Dipper stars.

The man came here on a donkey, and the three people at the table quickly stood up and shouted, "Brother!"

The Taoist nodded slightly, and said, "Sit down."

A few people sat down, and then someone filled the Taoist with a cup of tea.

Then the strong man asked, "Brother, how about that matter?"

The Taoist twitched his fingers, pinched them with three fingers, and said, "There are records in the burial scriptures, the burial is clothed in shape, and the corpse is raised with qi. The place is a good place, and it is estimated that there are large goods."

When the other three heard this, they all showed excited expressions.

The skinny man said with a smile: "Brother, just watch it. I can't get over it anymore. I've been looking forward to this job for a long time."

The others also nodded, although they did not open for three years in this line of business, they opened for three years.But the people who do it spend a lot of money, often get rich, and often go into extreme poverty.

This skinny man has been eating at his second brother's house for half a year.

After waiting for a while, the four left together.

They were heading towards Mount Eshan, except for that person, everyone else was carrying a lot of things.

The Taoist was riding a donkey, and the skinny man asked him cautiously: "Brother, I heard that people from the Zhang family in the city are looking for something called a local dog. I don't know if it is the thing you mentioned."

"Dog?" The Taoist said strangely.

He knew that this man wasn't talking about a country dog, but something like that.

In the past few months, he has been investigating in Asan, and he doesn't understand the news in the city.

He said, "Do you know why the Zhang family wants a local dog?"

The man shook his head to show that he didn't know.

Then he said: "The Zhang family bought it at a price of one hundred taels of silver, which is not a small amount of money."

"One hundred taels of silver?" The Taoist couldn't help raising his brows when he heard the price. The price is not low.

One hundred taels of silver, and one tael of silver is exchanged for thousands of copper coins.A catty of brown rice is only a penny, and the purchasing power of this money is very strong.

The price made the Taoists feel excited.He nodded and said, "I'll keep an eye out when I get a chance."

The group of them, to put it mildly, is called Captain Mojin, as the saying goes, 'Tufuzi'.Profession is digging graves.

Since this 'Tufuzi' is called earth, it is natural to deal with earth.

And the earth dog, in their jargon, is a kind of strange beast guarding the catacombs.This strange beast looks like a mole cricket and is good at digging soil and rocks.The body is like a normal domestic dog.

These strange beasts only appear in the tombs of those dignitaries.Because these strange beasts were kept there by the people who built the tomb when they were still small bugs.

These worms will grow up and guard the tomb loyally like a dog, which will cause great trouble to these Tufuzi, so they are called "Dog Dogs" by Tufuzi.

The tomb is like a home, the Tufuzi is the thief who broke into the house, and the Tugou is the dog who guards the house.

Although it is not certain that the local dog that the Zhang family wants is the local dog that he knows, but there is no problem if he tries it.

………………

Zhang Wei looked at the pile of objects in front of him with a sad face.

The banknote ability is naturally extremely strong. In the past few days, Zhang Wei has received all kinds of things that are said to be dirt dogs.

Of course, he has also experienced all kinds of ups and downs in his life these days.

None of them are the earth dogs he needs.If things are correct, his alchemy furnace will respond.But now his alchemy furnace didn't respond.

Although he knew that most people were fishing in troubled waters, Zhang Wei was looking forward to it.

After a few days, I touched hundreds of things, but none of them were reliable.

Seeing Zhang Wei's lost look, Xiaoqian comforted him and said, "Don't worry, young master, things will turn around."

Zhang Wei showed her a miserable smile, this smile made Xiaoqian's heart tremble, and she felt sorry for her young master even more.

And Gouzi Huangdou also seemed to know that the owner was in a bad mood, so he didn't dare to play around, just lying beside him.

Zhang Wei feels sad here.On the other side, Zhang Zhong was a little anxious.He didn't understand why Zhang's father would agree to find a dog for that dying Zhang Wei.

It would be too wasteful to spend a hundred taels of silver on a dying person.This is his money!
And what's the use of this dog?

He thought for a moment, turned around and walked out through the back door of Zhang's house.

He ran across the street and came to a small courtyard of a private house.Then push the door and enter.

As soon as he entered the small courtyard, a woman greeted him, and then happily shouted: "Officer, you are here."
