Dou Po: My days as a mentor at Canaan College

Chapter 101 Little Maid Xiao Yue

In one night, Liu Xi went to a total of twelve places.

In every place, he left a wooden box containing [-] gold coins, plus a note. The contents of the note varied, but all four words were the same, that is, the wealth is not revealed.

For an ordinary family of three, dozens of gold coins are enough to provide them with food and clothing throughout the year.

Tens of thousands of gold coins, no longer doing cheap labor, and living a nourishing life, that is very simple.

However, it was precisely because the amount of property was too huge for those ordinary people that Liu Xi left a note as a warning and warning.

If not, if these properties are exposed, then for those people, a good thing will become a bad thing.

As the saying goes, people make money and birds die for food, and money touches people's hearts. If someone thinks about it, those families that are basically ordinary people can't resist the possible disasters at all.

In a remote corner of the street, Liu Xi returned to his original appearance, with his hands behind his head, walking in the hazy morning.

Putting aside a "mind", he felt that his body seemed to be much lighter.

It is true that a lot of yellow and white things are used, but he thinks it is worth it in exchange for a stable state of mind.

……

At dawn, Liu Xi returned to Xiao's house, lit the first cigarette he smoked today, and started smoking.

After smoking a cigarette, he looked up at the first light of dawn that fell between the sky and the earth in this new day. He was slightly absent-minded, and exhaled lightly. He felt less depressed, and felt an unprecedented openness of mind.

Suddenly, his heart trembled, and he felt stunned that his soul perception, that is, his soul power, had naturally reached the level of a second-rank alchemist.

Surprised, he went back to the other courtyard and didn't sleep all night, but he was in surprisingly good spirits. He just wiped his face, washed up, and then took out the pill formula that the senior executives of the Xiao family handed him yesterday to read.

After all, he came to the Xiao family to be a special pharmacist, and every day he had to refine three or five bottles of the elixir in the prescription, and then handed it over to the Xiao family.

In fact, the elixir he refined was just used as a gimmick in the market under the Xiao family's banner to attract attention.

Although the elixir is only a first-grade product, there are only a few people who can afford the elixir produced by the pharmacist, and there are more people, such as the mainstream people who buy medicine and wound medicine in the square city—those who lick blood on the knife edge Mercenaries, these people usually buy potions prepared by doctors.

Compared with pills, potions are obviously more affordable.

However, if you really want to sell pills, the traffic in the city is so large in a day, and the amount of three or five bottles a day is far from meeting the demand.

After reading the elixir recipes, there are a total of two first-grade elixir ingredients recorded on it.

They are "Congealing Blood Powder" which has a healing effect, and "Rejuvenation Pill" which can restore Dou Qi.

These two kinds of elixirs are relatively low-level in the first-grade elixirs, and they are not difficult to refine elixirs. Obviously, the Xiao family has considerations for him.

However, such behavior inevitably made Liu Xi feel a little underestimated.

Of course, Liu Xi didn't care too much about it. He's not the kind of person who pays too much attention to other people's opinions, and it's not bad for him to be less demanding. Wouldn't it be nice to take it easy on yourself?

In this way, I can spend more time thinking about how to better complete the main task of the system and earn enough life yuan before going to Canaan Academy. Fortunately, within the three-month period, I can have the Pure Lotus Demon Fire.

Why not?
After sitting quietly in the house for a while, the little maid brought the breakfast prepared for him by Xiao's back kitchen yesterday.

After finishing his breakfast on the stone table in the open-air yard, Liu Xi got up, looked at the little maid who bent over to tidy up, and asked casually:
"What's your name?"

Unexpectedly, it was a good thing that he didn't communicate with the little maid, but when he spoke, the little maid trembled, but she was startled, thinking that Liu Xi's sudden question of her name was because of "sex and interest".

I heard from those sisters that men have some "reactions" that are particularly strong in the early morning...

Seeing this, Liu Xi felt a little speechless. He somewhat guessed what Qi was thinking, and seeing Qi standing there stupidly, as if he had no intention of speaking, he asked again.

Under his direct gaze, the little maid didn't dare to raise her head, her little mouth trembled slightly, and after a while she stammered:

"Liu...Master Liu Xi, my servant...my servant's name is Xiao Yue..."

"Oh? Your surname is also Xiao? Then why do you do this job of serving people?" Liu Xi was a little surprised, and was arranged to serve him...Of course, Liu Xi did not say the latter sentence.

Hearing this, the little maid carefully took a sneak peek at Liu Xi, seeing that he hadn't done anything else, calmed down a bit, and whispered:
"The slave girl was born in a side branch of the family, and her status in the family was not high. Later, when the family moved from the imperial capital to Wutan City, it was said that my father made a big mistake in one thing, which not only caused the family to suffer. I suffered a lot of losses, and it was still after the incident... Afterwards, I was afraid of the family's punishment, left me and my mother, and fled alone, and the family was furious..."

"So I took my anger out on you and your mother?" Liu Xi raised his eyebrows.

He didn't expect this little maid to be a storyteller.

Xiao Yue shook her head and said softly:

"At that time, there were indeed many people in the family who wanted to anger my mother and me, but they were stopped by the patriarch."

Liu Xi curled his lips when he heard this, and said: "However, looking at your current situation, it seems that your patriarch can stop you for a while, but not for a lifetime. There are some things below, after all, it is impossible to intervene in everything, so after a long time, you will inevitably be punished." Suppressed and excluded, in the end you were "wearing little shoes" and arranged to serve me..."

As soon as the words came out.

Xiao Yue raised her head and blurted out in surprise: "How do you know?"

The corner of his mouth twitched, Liu Xi spread his hands, rolled his eyes and said:

"Is it hard to guess?"

After saying that, he put his hands behind his back, pursed his lips and said: "But I have a problem, judging by your age, you are not yet 16 years old, and you are not yet an adult. The rules of your Xiao family are that before you reach adulthood, no matter whether you are a direct descendant or a side branch, this age is not suitable for you. You should be in the stage of cultivation, and when you become adults, you will be arranged according to your cultivation level, why are you so young, and you are arranged to do things?"

When Xiao Yue heard this, her eyes were dodged, but she realized that she had talked too much with Liu Xi, so she didn't answer Liu Xi's further question, but just bowed her head and said:

"Your Excellency, please don't ask, these are the internal affairs of our Xiao family."
