Chapter 74

"Hmph! What can I do here? Don't worry, your elixir hasn't been refined yet. When it is finished, I will definitely notify you as soon as possible. By the way, I still need a few herbs here, so hurry up and get them." I'll find it, otherwise, it will be your own business to delay the refining time of the elixir." An old man with a white beard looked at the middle-aged man who rushed into the room angrily, and said with a sneer: "The two As soon as the thieves entered the yard, I knew it. However, they were lucky and let them run away. Otherwise, I would definitely catch them to make alchemy. However, if you can catch them, your elixir will add That woman's blood essence will have a [-]% higher alchemy rate.

"However, those two little thieves ran too fast, and all the servants in the family lost them." The middle-aged man mumbled.

"Trash, you can't even catch up with a woman or a child. What are you doing with those people?" The white bearded old man yelled at the middle-aged man, blowing his beard and staring at him: "Get out. Don't disturb the old man's alchemy anymore."

"Yes yes yes, Master Immortal, don't be angry, I'll get out of here, get out of here." The middle-aged man hugged his head, retreated out of the yard timidly, and closed the gate again.

Neither Fang Xiao nor Gouzi knew what happened there.After she got rid of the pursuers behind her, she walked down the street with the dog.Gululu, Gouzi's stomach rumbled untimely, Gouzi didn't speak, just looked at Fang Xiao helplessly, Fang Xiao sighed, and said, "When we find Dr. Liu, we will have something to eat." She looked at Fang Xiao An aunt who was selling a stall on the street asked, "Auntie, how can I get to Chang'antang Medical Center?"

The aunt glanced at Fang Xiao and Gouzi, and enthusiastically pointed the way to Fang Xiao. At the end, she broke off half of the steamed bun in her arms and handed it to Gouzi, saying, "My lady, your son is already hungry. Cuckoo, even if you don’t eat it yourself, you can’t lose the child. You are not a rich family. I brought a steamed bun when I went out today, so let’s give half of it to the child. Alas, don’t starve the child. It's time to grow your body." The aunt hesitated to speak, and at this time, people came to the stall to buy things.Fang Xiao had no choice but to thank the aunt in a hurry, and left quickly with the dog.

Gouzi endured hard work, but Fang Xiao's face was ashen.She looks so old?But think about it, people here start dating at the age of thirteen or fourteen, marry at the age of fifteen or six, and become mothers at the age of sixteen or seven.And she is 25 years old now, shouldn't she have such a big son?After such a calculation, isn't she old? No wonder that guy who cultivates immortals is getting older one by one.Forget it, she couldn't explain clearly to these people, she still didn't speak well, and found out where Chang Andang was, Fang Xiao took the dog and looked for it back.When I asked the staff in Chang'an Hall, they said that Dr. Liu had already left.I went to the alley to search for several times, but left without seeing them.

What to do now, Fang Xiao thought about it, and walked towards the gate of the city. Presumably, if they disappeared, Doctor Liu would go back to the mountain.If they chase at this time, they should still be able to catch up.So, the two hurried to the gate of the city again.Half a steamed bun, for a half-sized boy like Gouzi, can only be stuffed between the teeth, no, the steamed bun is only eaten, and his stomach is even more hungry.He felt his feet getting heavy.Fang Xiao couldn't ignore the gurgling sound in his stomach.She reluctantly put the dog back on her back, and hurried towards the gate of the city.Passing by a small stall for buying medicinal materials, Dr. Liu was squatting there to select herbs.

Fang Xiao breathed a sigh of relief, and ran over quickly, the dog had already barked: "Grandpa Liu, I found you!"

When Dr. Liu heard Gouzi's voice, he turned his head and stared: "It's not easy for Gouzi, don't you? It caused my old man to run for several streets, but he didn't find you. Where are you going? played?"

Gulu, the answer to Dr. Liu was the sound of thunder in Gouzi's stomach.Dr. Liu was suddenly happy: "Little guy, this is the price of running around. Let's go, grandpa will take you to eat delicious food."

Dr. Liu paid the bill for the selected herbal medicines, led one big and one small, and walked towards the other way.Both sides of the street here are filled with small tables and stools.It looks like a snack street.Dr. Liu walked to one of the booths, picked an empty table and sat down, put down the medicine basket on his back, and shouted at the old couple by the stove, "Three bowls of wontons."

"Okay!" Seeing the guests, the old man hurried forward to wipe the clean table again.

The old woman smiled and opened the fire door, and started cooking wontons.

"What's the matter with you two?" Dr. Liu asked carefully what happened.

Gouzi articulated what had happened.At the end, he said: "I already remember the appearance of that apprentice. When I meet him again, I will definitely beat him up. How dare I call so many people to chase me and my sister."

"Little guest, you should speak in a quieter voice. The little old man has also heard about what happened on the East Street today. That son is a famous playboy in our Wuma Town. His father is Wang Yuanwai." , I heard that there is also a fairy teacher enshrined in the house, it is very powerful, you have to hide from that prince in the future. Next time the girl goes to the city, you can buy a hat and wear it, so that no one can see it The appearance has changed. A girl with such a good looks, if she is targeted by the prince, she will be hard to escape from the clutches of the devil. Alas, the world has really gone downhill these days!"

"Old man, don't mutter there, hurry up and serve the guests' wontons." The old woman has already walked over with a bowl of steaming wontons, and put them in front of Gouzi: "Children are just growing up. The mother-in-law added an extra big wonton for you. Eat it quickly."

"Thank you mother-in-law!" Gouzi happily picked up the chopsticks and began to eat happily.He was already starving.

After hearing what the old man said, Dr. Liu pondered for a while, and said: "Girl, tell me what you want to buy. After eating wontons, you go out of the city first and wait on the mountain road. I will buy it for you. To avoid further incidents."

"Grandpa Liu, let me go with you. I am strong enough to help you carry things." Gouzi said vaguely.He also gestured at his thin arms.

Fang Xiao looked amused, this kid didn't want to carry things, maybe he felt that he would not be able to eat good food with him who has no money, so he wanted to go shopping with Dr. Liu.She ate two wontons, and seeing that Gouzi's bowl had bottomed out, she pushed her own bowl over and said, "I'm not hungry, you should eat these too."

Gouzi's eyes lit up, but he pushed the bowl back and said, "My sister has been running for so long today, let's eat."

Dr. Liu wiped his mouth and said, "Shopkeeper, have another bowl."

Gouzi immediately smiled and said, "Grandpa still loves me." That's right, this flattering little guy didn't even save the word Liu.

Fang Xiao brought the bowl back to his face, he didn't bother to look at Gouzi's flattering face, he just ate his own.After eating the wontons, he said, "That's fine. I'll go out of the city later. I need a pot, a bag of rice, and some vegetables. In addition, please Mr. Liu to buy two sets of clothes for the dog. Winter comes Now, his cotton-padded clothes are not ready yet, and I have to ask Mr. Liu to buy them. And the kid's shoes need to be replaced..." Fang Xiao told the things he needed, and then asked the dog Son remember no.Gouzi's eyes were blurred at this time, he wiped his face with his sleeve, and said, "Sister, I don't remember the rest, please tell me again."

"No, it's nothing more than daily expenses such as firewood, rice, oil, salt, soy sauce, vinegar and tea. I can buy them all in a walk around the grocery store. You go out of the city first, don't worry, I will come out with the dog in a while." Liu After the doctor finished speaking, he paid the wonton money to the shopkeeper, took out a small bag from his pocket, and said, "This is today's income, you can take it. I have already left the money for shopping. I have the money with me." Bring too much, but it’s not safe.”

After blocking Fang Xiao's words, Doctor Liu led the dog back to the street again.Fang Xiao put the money bag into Guangjia's storage bag, got up and left the city.After leaving the gate of the city and turning up the path up the mountain, Fang Xiao suddenly turned his head and said to the back: "There is no one here, are you still planning to do something?"

"Heh, it's still a small chili pepper. It's tasty enough, I like it." A brisk man came out from behind the big tree next to him.Behind him, there were three ruffian men who looked at Fang Xiao with a smirk on his face.

Fang Xiao saw them like this, and there was no dog around her, so she would not be restrained when she moved her hands.So he also smiled and said, "Do you have any money with you? Is it enough to buy your four little lives? If not, I will take you back to the mountain to make me cows and horses to pay back."

The ruffian smiles on the faces of the four froze, they didn't tell the girl to hand over the money, listen to what the girl said, but asked them to hand over the money for their lives.Looking at her thin and small appearance, she doesn't look like a Lianjiazi. There are four old men on their side. If you still don't believe it, there is nothing you can do with a delicate little lady.The leading man took a step forward and stood in front of Fang Xiao: "Stop talking nonsense, hand over the money bag that the old man gave you just now, otherwise, don't blame the brothers for being rough on you little lady."

"Be rough?" Fang Xiao tilted his head and pulled out his lightsaber.With a buzzing sound, the lightsaber pointed at the tip of the man's nose. The high temperature made the tip of his nose tingle instantly.His eyes flickered, and he quickly took a step back. Who knows, the lightsaber pointed at the tip of his nose did not intend to leave the tip of his nose, and followed his steps, taking a step forward.The man quickly pulled out a short knife from his waist, and swung it at the lightsaber in Fang Xiao's hand.

With a bang, the dagger broke in two immediately.The man really panicked now, the three men behind saw the boss sitting down on the ground in fright, turned around in a hurry and wanted to rush down.Fang Xiao turned the hilt of the sword upside down and hit the man on the back of the neck, and the man fell down immediately.She jumped up and blocked the retreat of the three of them. Seeing this, the three of them knelt down very spinelessly, and saved Fang Xiao and spared them this time: "Girl, this is the first time we have done such a thing, please girl!" Seeing that we are old and we are young, please forgive us this time. We will never dare to do it again next time."

"Do you still want to have a next time?" Fang Xiao pulled out a half-hearted smile.

"No, no, no next time, no next time." The three shook their heads quickly.
