It is said to be an ox cart, but in fact it is just dragging six or seven people on a simple wooden board. There is a thin circle of bamboo around it. People can't sit safely on it. If they encounter difficult mountain roads or encounter obstacles, If there are pebbles or a slight bump on the steep slope, one will fall off the car board if not careful.

As soon as Xu Zhengrong got on the bullock cart, he deliberately spread his arms to hold Ah Shui and Kidou'er, one big and one small, in front of him. This could not only reduce the bumps but also isolate other men from physical contact with Ah Shui.

Kidou'er's little face puffed out, obviously seeing clearly his little uncle's little thoughts.

When the bullock cart swayed a long way, the ghostly child raised his head, looked at Ah Shui, then looked at Xu Zhengrong, deliberately raised his voice, and muttered in an innocent manner: "Uncle, do we look like a family of three going to the town market now?"

The people sitting on the bullock cart were all villagers who usually looked up and down. The Ah Shui family had little contact with the villagers, but Xu Zhengrong shook the sky, the ground, the air, and the Zhang family and the two uncles. Most people in the village know about Speechless's glorious deeds.

So after hearing the childish voice of Kidou'er, they all turned their eyes over. Seeing Xu Zhengrong protecting the child with one hand and his brother with the other, they looked like a family of three! For a moment, he couldn't help but burst into good-natured laughter.

An old uncle sitting next to him with a face full of vicissitudes of life even coughed twice, exaggeratedly opened his mouth and sighed: "Ah! Spring for young people!"

Ah Shui didn't feel anything at first, but after hearing the old man's meaningful sigh, his whole face was on fire. He lowered his head in embarrassment, not daring to speak, and just stared at the board of the car intently. Look at the cracked gap.

Xu Zhengrong felt relieved when he saw his little brother's shy look twice in a row.

However, even though he had no experience in chasing people, he also knew that everything should be done step by step, and he should not push too hard, lest he scare people away. So after suppressing his smile, he immediately reprimanded with a straight face: "What nonsense are you talking about! If you keep talking nonsense, I won't buy you any delicious food in town!"

He lowered his head again and comforted the little brother who was so shy that his ears were red: "The kid's house has no control over what he says. He says everything to outsiders. Don't mind. When he gets back, I will teach him well!"

He spoke so righteously, but his eyes blinked at the helpful Kidou'er: "Good boy! My uncle's love for you is not in vain! Come back to the town and get your fill of meat!"

Kidou'er understood the meaning of Xu Zhengrong's wink, and straightened his chest with a smile.

He likes Brother Ashui very much. If the uncle can really catch him, that would be the best thing.

The bullock cart stopped and went, and when we reached the town, the sun was high in the sky.

This is the closest town to Qingxi Township. It would take several hours to get there quickly. You can imagine how remote and backward the village is.

The cattle driver parked the cattle cart not far from the town and shouted: "The Bronze Town has arrived! The Bronze Town has arrived!"

Xu Zhengrong was caught off guard and choked on a mouthful of saliva. He coughed violently several times before waving his hands in the worried eyes of Ah Shui and Qian Dou'er to indicate that he was fine.

Bronze Town? !

You are so awesome, why don't you say you are the King of Kings! Xu Zhengrong, who played some kind of games to pass the time while working as a mercenary, silently complained in his heart.

In fact, Bronze Town can be regarded as the most prosperous area in this area. The reason why it is called "Bronze" is because the town is rich in a kind of flower called Bronze. The flowers bloom for two seasons and the color is bronze. It is a well-known auxiliary medicine. If one or two dried fine bronze flowers are added to any prescription, the original efficacy of the medicine can be increased to 80% by 50%.

Probably because the climate, water and soil are very suitable, most people in the town like to grow herbs in their yards. No wonder you can smell all kinds of herbs as soon as you enter the town.

Xu Zhengrong thought about what Ah Shui had said before, and felt a little strange: "Since the practice of growing herbal medicine is so popular here, it makes no sense that there is only one pharmacy!"

Ah Shui smiled and shook his head. Xu Zhengrong seldom came out of the village all year round and didn't know much about Qingtong Town. But he was different. His grandmother had taken him to the town to sell and buy medicine since he was a child. Among them, He also knew more about the inside story, so he explained in detail: "Brother Xu, a drug store is not something that ordinary people can afford. It costs a lot of money just to collect medicinal materials. Moreover, medicinal materials are the most needed A knowledgeable person will serve you carefully, but if you don't preserve it well, the medicine may lose all its properties... If you don't have a strong family background, you may lose everything before you can make money!"

"Although there is only one pharmacy here, it is very popular. I heard that its business can be extended to other parts of Xu State. There are also many dignitaries who buy medicines from him! There is such a pharmacy Now, there is no way for other drug stores to survive and they will simply stop opening..."

As Shui spoke, he sighed melancholy: "It's just that the business has grown, and the boss's heart has become dark. I heard from grandma that the prices offered to herb collectors here used to be quite fair, but later on, there were more herb collectors. The more herbs we collect, the cheaper they will be!"

Xu Zhengrong listened silently, looking thoughtful.

After entering the town, Ah Shui held Jiang Dou'er by the hand and led Xu Zhengrong through several bustling streets, and finally turned into an alley.

From the outside, the alley looks deserted and deserted. Only when you turn in do you realize what a unique cave is.

Xu Zhengrong was used to seeing crudely made adobe houses in Qingxi Township. When he saw a three-story luxury drugstore that looked like a restaurant in a costume game, he couldn't react for a moment. He was pulled by the sleeve by Beidou'er before he turned back. God comes.

The little brat hadn't seen much of the world, but he had quite a lot of face. He looked over with contempt, and the words "Uncle, can we not be so embarrassed" were written all over his body.

Ah Shui stood aside and watched the interesting interaction between the uncle and nephew. He couldn't help covering his mouth and snickering. When he had laughed enough, he stood up to help Xu Zhengrong: "I come to this drug store often, and I work with the people who work there. We all know each other well, I'll take you in and have a look."

The old grandma used to be good at finding medicinal materials. Ah Shui has been following the old grandma like a little tail since he was a child. Because he often comes to the store, some of the old guys in the drug store recognize him and see him come in. , greeted with a smile: "Ah Shui is here!"

He took another look at the Xu family's uncle and nephew who came in behind Ah Shui. They couldn't help but approach him with interest, winking and teasing in a low voice: "Hey! Isn't this a good match? The young man looks very energetic... Ah Shui, you have good taste!" "

Ah Shui stomped her feet shyly and peeked at Xu Zhengrong taking Kidou'er to look at the flower carvings on the side window. He didn't pay attention to this. After heaving a sigh of relief, he hurriedly stuffed the medicine basket in his hand. , pouted angrily: "I won't talk to you, I want to see your boss! Just say that Ah Shui has brought a big business here and wants to sell a baby. Will he accept it?"
