Chapter 11 Is everything a progress bar?
……

There are some things in the inner and outer cities that are separated by a wall, that is really the difference between Heaven and Earth, such as houses.

The same set of small courtyards with courtyards, the outer city only needs 18 taels of fine silver, but the inner city needs a full 63 taels. After a long time, it still costs 61 taels!
With his salary in the yamen, without food or drink, it would take him forty-two years to afford it!

Even a well-established jailer like Old Master Yang would take six years to afford such a small house without food or drink.

"The car and boat shop's feet and teeth should be killed if they are innocent...Old Master's pension, but it's almost spent."

Gitting his teeth and walking out of his teeth, Yang Yu Heartache can't breathe.

The wallet sent by Constable Wang contained twenty taels of fine silver and a silver note with a denomination of fifty taels.

This is far beyond the yamen's pension in previous years, Yang Yu guessed, if it wasn't for 'Sanchi Liu' conscience, it was Constable Wang who spoke.

The money is quite a lot, but I bought a house without spending it, then went more than half of it.

"Guest walk slowly, someone will deliver the deed to you tomorrow."

The people from the tooth shop were laughed.

"We have to find a way to get some money..."

Putting away the bills, Yang Yu thought to himself.

'Old Master's pension is less than 10 taels, and the silver I looted from Wang Liu is almost 10 taels...'

'Don't say Old Master I won't move a cent of the pension, even if I use it, the twenty taels added up are enough for the medicine ingredient for twenty medicated baths...'

'Listen to Old Man Wei, Hu Everything went well, and I bought at least 300 copies of medicine ingredients before and after, which is really terrible...'

'I don't know how tyrannical the 'exchange' is, but I already know how rich I am. ......'

......

Thinking silently in his heart, Yang Yu turned around and walked to the pharmacy, ready to prepare a batch of medicine ingredients to try.

According to Old Man Wei, changing blood is not a one-time thing, it's a water grind, and there are no shortcuts.

It takes one or two years as soon as possible, and three to five years as slow as it can only accumulate a little bit, and there is a possibility of failure of the exchange blood.

And if it doesn't work once, it's a hundred days' work, and if it fails three times, it will not only have no hope of changing blood, but also damage the body's meridians...

"Why all the prices have gone up?"

Yang Yu's face was aching.

A trace of impatience flashed on the face of the pharmacy shopkeeper who was wearing a small felt hat behind the counter, but he still said with a low temper:
"It's not about the outer city, and I don't know where the evil wind came from. In just this month, twenty or so have died, and there are many people taking medicine, so the price must not be raised?"

"Twenty or so have died? How come there are so many?"

A customer who bought medicine creds out in surprise: "This, shouldn't this be a plague?"

In this era of wind and cold, it's normal for a few people to die. However, more than 20 people died of illness in just one month, which is a bit too scary.

"Then who knows?"

While weighing the medicine ingredients, the shopkeeper said casually: "If you think it's too expensive, just wait a few days, and in a few days, send the medicine Ingredient's caravan should also come back from Shunde Mansion..."

"Can you wait for the illness?"

The guest stared, and quickly took out the money to buy what he needed. the medicine ingredient.

'I have to move as soon as possible...'

Yang Yu's heart also sank.

He can remember grandma talking about you at noon, in the alley where he lived, but two brothers were seriously ill.

If this is really a plague...

My heart is tight, and Yang Yu doesn't want to bargain anymore, so he took out 12 taels of silver scraps from Wang Liu, and bought enough for seven. The medicine ingredient used for eight days.

I hurried out of the door of the pharmacy and headed home.

As the sun went down and the sky gradually dimmed, Yang Yu was not slow to go back to the outer city when the inner city was closed.

“Little Yu? How do you buy so many medicine ingredients? Does anyone in your family get sick?”

After turning around a few streets, Yang Yu was about to go home when he heard someone call yourself.

When I turned around, I saw that several officials were coming out of the side alley carrying a straw mat, and it was Zhu Shisan who was holding a small straw mat behind him.

"You guys go first, I'll have a word with Little Yu."

Said to his companions, Zhu Shisan walked over with small steps, and at the same time the stench came, Yang Yu couldn't help but take a step back.

"This is?"

Looking at the swaddling clothes exposed by the straw mat, Yang Yu's face was a little ugly.

"Alas. This family has been dead for a few days. When the neighbors found out, the body stinks..."

Zhu Shisan's face was a little gloomy:
"This child, I've been starving to death for several days..."

Halfway through, Zhu Shisan could no longer speak, and Yang Yu was also silent.

"That's right."

After a while, Zhu Shisan seemed to remember something and said, "I heard someone say yesterday that someone heard 'Sanchi Liu' reprimanding Constable Wang , seems to be because of the pension of your Old Master..."

"...Constable Wang sent it to me this morning..."

Yang Yu paused for a while, then answer.

"That's good."

Zhu Shisan looked around and saw that there was no one around, so he approached and lowered his voice: "Little Yu, listen to me, take the pension and go to the inner city It doesn't matter if you buy a spare house, it's more expensive..."

Yang Yu thought, "Do you know something?"

Although he and Zhu Shisan are both officers, But the work he did was different. Because he had a hand in arithmetic, he entered the warehouse.

Zhu Shisan patrols the streets every day, such as 'packing up dead bodies', 'cleaning up the county government' and 'carrying supplies'.

The news is also much better informed than him.

"It's hard to tell if there are too many."

Zhu Shisan hesitated for a moment, seeing that there was no one around, then said: "I just tell you, don't tell anyone else. "

Without waiting for Yangp to nod, he said again:
"The outer city is weird, I'm afraid it's a plague, you, you can go quickly..."

“Zhu Shisan!”

Zhu Shisan was interrupted by a shout from a distance.

He complied in a hurry, bid farewell to Yang Yu, and followed him with a straw mat.

“Plague.”

Yang Yu sighed.

In the sanitation of the outer city, the plague is not impossible, whether it is or not, he is not sure, but it is true that the outer city cannot stay.

Thinking about it, Yang Yu didn't go home. Instead, he turned back and went out to the inner city gate. He took out two coins and asked the gate guard of the Inner Sect to wait for a while.

After that, I hurried home and didn't pack anything, so I hurried back to the inner city with Grandma Yang on my back, and came to the small courtyard where he just bought the house and didn't get the deed.

The four inner city districts, East, West, North, and South, are the most prosperous in the south, and relatively depressed in the north. What he bought was naturally the North City.

Although it is not as good as Nancheng District, it is much better than the outer city.

Seeing Yang Yu prying open the door with a broken knife, Grandma Yang became a little worried: "Little Yu, this, isn't this not seen by others?"

"Come early, feel at ease, We also bought this house, how can other people control the door of our own house?"

Yang Yu didn't care.

The small courtyard is not big. There are two south rooms, two north rooms, and one wing room with a small courtyard. The small courtyard is not big, only two water tanks and one old tree.

I hastily packed up and settled down the grandma.

Yang Yu didn't stop. He boiled water and started to boil the medicine ingredients. After two hours, he poured the boiled medicinal liquid directly into the vat.

Poured the prepared hot water into it again, tested the water temperature, then took off a naked strip and jumped in wearing only underpants.

"Exchange blood..."

Yang Yu calmed down and began to adjust his breathing according to the method taught by Wei He.

"According to Old Man Wei, the biggest difficulty in changing blood is to let go of the spirit and not think about it. Hu Wan's blood change, at this level, wasted at least dozens of pots of medicinal liquid..."

……

People’s minds are messy, even in a dream, they don’t stop for a moment. If they have to train for a long time, they can’t control it at all.

In the warm and even hot medicinal liquid, Yang Yu thought to himself, but silently said a sentence.

"refining!"

hum~
The next moment, he came to the Cauldron of Gluttony again.

"I don't know if it's possible..."

Yang Yu just thought of it when he saw the dark wall above the cauldron, except for the progress bar of 'refining the broken knife' outside.

Another glimmer.

[Exchange Progress: (0/100)]

"This is okay?!"
