The autumn wind blows and the fragrance of medicine fills the air.
Hanshan City’s Medicinal Materials Market, a low blue brick ancient shop in the northwest corner, with a black plaque hanging diagonally. Three vigorous and simple blood-colored characters, were engraved in the middle of the profound plaque: Zhenyaofang.
In front of the door.
The bluestone-paved alley was broken by a sudden sound of footsteps.
The person who came was a thin, pale boy, his feet staggering and swaying, as if a gust of wind could blow him down, a sack made of twine was clenched tightly in his big blue-black hand.
“Call”
The boy gasped for breath, stopping in front of the Zhenyao Store, and when he was bending over, he put the sack under his feet and took out a black handkerchief embroidered with the pattern of Manzhu Shahua, After taking out the handkerchief with trembling hands, he raised his arm with difficulty, wiping the thick sweat off his forehead.
The boy’s name was Ye Tong!
He was the medicine boy of Zhenyaofang, and the only owner of Zhenyaofang today.
Ye Tong clenched the handkerchief tightly, raised his head, and stared at the plaque in front of him. Complex light slowly flowed out of his originally godless eyes. Ye Tong hated and attached to this place. This was his hell, but the same It is also his safe haven.
“Little Master is back!”
A low and hoarse voice came from the door of the Zhenyao Store. Threshold, just from its appearance, looks like it hasn’t lived for a few years.
“cough cough”
Ye Tong retracted his gaze, and in a few violent coughs, the handkerchief wiped off the black blood that spilled from the corners of his mouth without a trace, picked up the sack by his feet again, and nodded.: “I’m back.”
The hunchbacked old man asked, “Have you found the blood ganoderma and withered bone grass?”
Ye Tong stepped forward and passed the hunchbacked old man, leaving only the The erratic voice said, “Ninety years of wild blood ganoderma lucidum, one hundred and twenty years of withered bone grass, but all the blue and silver left over from the old things are spent.”
“It will be spent when it is finished.” Hearing the young man’s words, the wrinkles on the hunchbacked old man’s face stretched out. He turned around and followed behind Ye Tong. He smiled with satisfaction: “Little Master finds these two main herbs, and he can live another two months.”

Ye Tong’s staggering footsteps did not stop, but his tone became a little colder: “Yao slave, can you stop saying the same thing every time? I know how long I can live! Go to cook medicine, I’ll be quick I can’t hold it any longer.”
The hunchbacked old man didn’t seem to hear the change in Ye Tong’s tone, but he still had the same old smiling face, hehe said, “I’m afraid I can’t take a medicinal bath yet. When guests come, they cannot leave.”
“Huh? Ye Tong paused, glanced at the gorgeous frame parked at the alley in front of him, frowned and asked, “Ask for medicine?””
The hunchbacked old man said, “Ask for medicine!””
“Make them wait.”
Ye Tong’s footsteps were a little faster than before, passing through the arched promenade and going around the wide courtyard, as if not seeing the three figures sitting cross-legged on the futon in the courtyard, going straight from the left. The side corridor turns to the arch of the courtyard.
There are several futons on the ground in the courtyard. At this moment, the three people on the futon are cross-legged, an old man with silver hair, a very old age, wearing a luxurious robe, a A beautiful woman in a light blue long dress, a charming girl who has fallen into the world like a mysterious girl.
They watched Ye Tong go to the side courtyard, and watched the hunchbacked old man arrive.
“Who is he?”
The beautiful middle-aged woman rose up, stared at the hunchbacked old man and asked.
The hunchbacked old man laughed and said, “My little master.”
The middle-aged beautiful woman frowned slightly, and her vigorous figure sprinted in an instant, blocking his way before Ye Tong entered the arch. She snorted coldly, ‘Since you’re back, hurry up and make medicine for us.” The illness of our parents cannot be delayed. If you delay, you cannot afford the consequences.”
“Go away without waiting. “Ye Tong stopped, his eyes flashing coldly, like a beast staring at the woman in front of him.
Ye Tonghe
felt that his soul was expanding.
I can’t take it anymore!
The middle-aged woman was stunned. She looked at Ye Tong in disbelief, as if she couldn’t believe her ears.
How many years?
How many years had she not heard such arrogant words? How many years had she not met such an arrogant person?
It seems that ever since she took over the Zhang business group more than ten years ago, no one had dared to speak to her so arrogantly, right? He, a little guy, dared to
“My little master said, I’ll leave before I wait.”
The hunchbacked old man leaned on the dragon head crutches and walked slowly to the middle-aged beautiful woman On the side, his expression was no longer full of smiles, but cold as frost.
The middle-aged beautiful woman was furious, and at the moment when her domineering aura erupted, she shouted sharply: “I will give you the face before handing over the heavy responsibility of refining medicine to you. Don’t be shameless, hurry up and refine the medicine for us. or”
“Hmph, what else?”
The hunchbacked old man’s waist straightened, and a surging aura erupted on him, murderous intent surged, domineering The breath is fully revealed: “The face is earned by yourself, not given by you, although the old master, it is not your turn to show your prestige.”Go”
“hiss”
The middle-aged beautiful woman’s pupils shrank, and her body trembled a few steps backwards in an instant.
She never dreamed that this old-fashioned woman was in front of her. The hunchbacked old man was able to burst out with such a powerful aura. She had a feeling that she was no longer facing an old man, but a ferocious and terrifying wild beast, a peerless beast.
“Zhong Ying, don’t be rude.”
The silver-haired old man in a luxurious robe gave a low voice to the middle-aged beautiful woman. After the step came, there was a bit of fear in his eyes, and a bit of apology, and he folded his fists and said: “The little girl is rude, please forgive me. Since your little master is temporarily unavailable, we will just wait. As an apology, we will offer double the price of the medicine.”
“Little Master? “The hunchbacked old man turned and looked at Ye Tong.
Ye Tong’s body trembled uncontrollably a few times, his complexion paled even more, and with the sweetness of his throat, blood gushed out and was swallowed by him. But a smear of blood still spilled from the corner of his mouth.
He raised his arm with difficulty and wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth, his voice oozing from the gap between his teeth: “Ten times.”
Finished speaking.
Ye Tong raised his footsteps with difficulty and stepped into the arch of the side courtyard, but his footsteps were more vain and his body trembled more obviously, just like an old man who was dying.
Zhang Zhongying opened her mouth, but she didn’t say anything. Although she still had an angry look on her face, she was acutely aware of the blood spilling from the corner of Ye Tong’s mouth.
And the state of the boy at the moment.
She suddenly felt that the person who left in front of her didn’t look like a young man, but an old man who was dying. Not only did she feel this way, but even her father Zhang Pinshou and the alluring girl also felt this way.
“He, okay?”
A strange color flashed in the eyes of the alluring girl, and she turned to look at the hunchbacked old man.
The hunchbacked old man waved his hand to interrupt the girl’s words. A worried look appeared on his wrinkled face. After hesitating for a moment, he said in a deep voice, “I want to ask for medicine, wait outside.”
The words are over.
The hunchbacked old man stepped into the arch of the courtyard without hesitation.
Even, at this moment, the hunchbacked old man’s footsteps became a lot lighter. After catching up with Ye Tong, he whispered: “Little master wait a moment, the old slave will dispense medicine for you today!”
“Cough cough”
Ye Tong stopped, handed the sack in her hand, and took out the black handkerchief embroidered with the mandala pattern again.
The breeze blows, the yellow leaves fly like butterflies, the bluestone ground seems to be covered with golden waves, and in the house, the sandalwood incense burns, and the faint sandalwood fragrance gradually diffuses, filling every corner of the house.
The walls are dark and the small windows are closed.
In the main hall, there is a dazzling blood-red Eight Immortals table. On the table is a cauldron, half a meter high. The whole body is dark and mellow. Beautifully carved and breathtaking. Above the center of the house, a dark purple coffin hangs, bringing a sense of coldness to the house.
Under the purple coffin.
The hot air in the stone barrel is curled up, and it is entwined.
The hunchbacked old man stood beside the stone bucket, looked at Ye Tong, whose body was trembling slightly, and said in a low voice, “Little Master, the hundred venom has been prepared, you hurry up and put it into the bucket.”
Ye Hitomi nodded slightly, watched the hunchbacked old man leave the door, and closed the door from the outside, then shook his hands and took off the clothes.
Streamlined muscles, fair complexion.
However!
On this suet-like white and smooth skin, there are scars of different lengths, which are intertwined and shocking.
“Hmmm”
Ye Tong stepped into the stone bucket and was immersed in the dark green viscous liquid. Immediately, the needle pierced through every nerve in his body like a tidal wave. A low roar sounded from Ye Tong’s throat.
Pain!
Heartbreaking!
It hurts to the bone!
For this kind of pain, Ye Tong has tasted it thousands of times since she was a child, and it is even more painful than this. Pass.
After groaning, he immediately sat cross-legged in the stone bucket, keeping his mind tight and running silently. Over the years, if he hadn’t practiced the supreme method of poison veins, I’m afraid he would have died Tens of thousands of times, let alone suppressing that spirit all the time
The medicine is poison.
He is also poisonous.
His body needs to fight with poison to continue its life.
In the main hospital.
The hunchbacked old man slowly stepped out of the courtyard gate. His hunched body suddenly trembled indistinctly, and his spine straightened a lot in an instant. When the person passed over and stayed deeply at the gate of the courtyard, the murderous intention was looming.
After a while, the crutches in the hands of the hunchbacked old man focused on the ground, and without looking at the three of them, he said, “I advise the three of you to leave immediately, otherwise, it will bring disaster to Yangchi and suffer from bloodshed. No wonder the old slave didn’t remind him.”
Zhang Pinshou frowned and remained silent, while the alluring girl showed a hint of surprise, turned her head and glanced at the courtyard door.
However.
On Zhang Zhongying’s beautiful face, there was a bit of anger, she looked directly at the hunchbacked old man, and hummed: “We will leave immediately after we get the medicine, otherwise, a few words of intimidation will not reach you. The purpose of wanting us to leave.”
“Don’t want to leave?”
The hunchbacked old man’s eyes were full of murderous intent, but a strange smile appeared on the old face: ‘So, even if we meet each other. I can’t explain cause and effect to my little master? His sarcastic voice was surging like waves: “The old dog beside the Poison Demon Huo Lanqiu is a kindhearted man! The life and death of three ants can even arouse your poor kindness”
The hunchbacked old man stared at the bald old man at the head, and said in a cold voice, “Yin-yang old monster Mu Wutian!”
