As An Immortal, I Only Learn Forbidden Skills Chapter 82: The beginning of 1 cut
When Jiang Ming walked into Ping'an County, the streets were much more lively than three years ago, with various shops, teahouses, workshops, cloth shops... There were also many vendors in the open space on the street, selling meals and bamboo wares , Wild mountain fungus...
After the war, the country of Yan seemed to be cured of its illness, gradually showing a more prosperous scene than before. The emperor reduced or exempted taxes and built a large granary to relieve the people. Even the villagers in Ping'an County had a much better life. .
"It's just a dead sheep..."
Jiang Ming sighed, walked to the tavern, went directly to the second floor, asked for a bright place by the window, ordered wine and food, and began to eat and drink.
Now that Old Jiangtou has completely retired and became the shopkeeper, Ah Fei saved some money somewhere and sent people to renovate the tavern. Now there is a new atmosphere and business is booming.
The drinkers at the next table were blushing and thick-necked... as usual, they were discussing recent current events.
"Marquis Wu is really a god-man, and the world was shocked in the first battle, and all the young people in the town did not dare to act rashly..."
"Hmph, he's just a bloodthirsty butcher. He's unpopular and will get retribution sooner or later."
"Fart your fart, Marquis Wu slaughtered the city, it's not easy to kill, but to warn those who want to make trouble..."
"Fuck, dare to scold me!"
Instant wine bowls and benches flying around...
Jiang Ming hurriedly sat on the other side of the table protecting the food and drinks to avoid being splashed with blood.
After a while, the two fighters were thrown out of the tavern by a big red-faced man, one in each hand, like chickens, which attracted applause.
The red-faced man turned back to the second floor and sat opposite Jiang Ming: "Brother Ming, I haven't seen you for a long time."
"Why did you become a thug in this tavern?" Jiang Ming said with a smile, this person is Wang Dong, Jiang Ming's friend at the same time in Liehuzhuang.
Three years later, Jiang Ming's strength has also been promoted to "not a martial artist", but Wang Dong still only has the ability to sense blood, and has not passed the threshold of a warrior.
"It's all about earning more money..."
Wang Dong took a sip of wine and smiled bitterly: "Only after practicing martial arts can you know how difficult martial arts are. I'm afraid I don't have the talent anymore, and I'm too lazy to be a dog in those big aristocratic families, so I inherited my father's In his old business, he opened a butcher shop in Ping'an Town and Oh Bu'an County..."
"Didn't you marry a wife last year, and this year the baby will be born again, and the family is struggling, so I come to do more errands..."
Wang Dong babbled, Jiang Ming did not interrupt, just listened silently, this may be the final destination of most martial arts practitioners.
"Hey, in our episode, it seems that only you and Fang Lie are the only ones who have become warriors..." Wang Dong said suddenly: "Just a few days ago, Fang Lie's blood energy was running smoothly, and he stepped into the third-rate state." environment."
"Really?" Jiang Ming said with a smile, "I'm going to congratulate you when I'm free."
"I'm very busy now, follow Guan headhunter Shenlong to see the beginning but not the end..." Wang Dong whispered, his eyes were a little wandering, as if he was recalling the days when he went up to the mountain to hunt tigers together.
Jiang Ming patted him on the shoulder, and ordered another two catties of spirits and a few catties of pork head meat. Both of them were drunk before leaving separately.
However, Jiang Ming didn't go home directly, but turned to a remote pharmacy.
The pharmacy is called Baicaotang, it's not big, and the location is remote, but because the medicinal materials are relatively complete, the customers are okay on weekdays.
Seeing Jiang Ming coming in, several customers who were buying medicine greeted each other:
"Boss Jiang!"
"Boss Jiang, long time no see, what good stuff is there this time..."
"It's nothing, a few golden worm ginseng, I'll clean it up, everyone who is interested will come to see it another day..." Jiang Ming responded one by one with a smile, this Baicaotang was opened by him, and now with his background, It's not a big deal to open a medicine shop. Most of the medicinal materials collected in the weekdays are thrown here for sale, and some medicinal materials from other herb collectors can be purchased, which can make some income.
"Go drink again!" Zhou Wenxiu dismissed the guests, walked out from behind the counter, and stared at Jiang Ming dissatisfied.
"Hey hey, hey hey..." Jiang Ming quickly poured out all the herbs in the medicine basket, turned his head and ran away: "I'm going home first."
……
In the early morning of the next day, Jiang Ming stood in his small courtyard, practicing a set of simple boxing techniques to move his body.
"Wow, Brother Jiang Ming, you are back!"
Outside the fence, in the small courtyard next door, there was a sudden exclamation.
Jiang Ming turned his head to look, and saw a little girl who was not much taller than Fourth Master Bai, bouncing over, leaning against the fence, holding a small porcelain bowl with missing corners, Filled with deep fried golden brown cicadas.
The little girl is only three or four years old, and the washed white coarse clothes are covered with mud, and her round face is full of greasy food, like a tabby cat.
"Tian An'an, you're playing with mud again!" Jiang Ming grabbed the little girl's clothes and pointed to the mud spots on it: "Your mother will beat you when she comes back later!"
"Scared..." The little girl looked down and was shocked: "I didn't play with mud, these are not my clothes..."
Jiang Ming almost choked. As soon as I went out just now, I saw a little guy squatting in a rain puddle treading water. Could it be a ghost?
However, Tian An'an forgot about it in an instant, wiped his nose and soaked it, and put a cicada monkey into his mouth familiarly, chewing it with a crunch, and stretched out the small bowl to this side : "Brother Jiang Ming, eat!"
"Okay, I haven't seen you for half a month..." Jiang Mingyi was about to reach out to take it, but Tian An'an quickly retracted his hand and didn't speak, staring straight at it with his big round eyes. with him.
As if to say, did you forget something?
Jiang Ming was speechless, and praised for nothing...
He turned back to the house and found a light red peach blossom stone from the bottom of the medicine basket. The surface of the stone was covered with peach blossom-shaped spots, like falling petals, which was really beautiful.
"Two cicada monkeys!" Jiang Ming held the stone~IndoMTL.com~ vigilantly and handed it over.
In fact, every time he goes down the mountain, he will bring a beautiful little stone to the little girl, but why should he give it for nothing if it can be traded?
Tian An'an took the stone happily, his two big eyes narrowed into a line with a smile, and then handed out the porcelain bowl.
"It's all your slobber!" Jiang Ming unceremoniously grabbed two of them and threw them into his mouth, and by the way, verbally attacked this little kid who saw his "stone" eyes open.
"You are the one who stinks, you are the one who stinks!" Tian An'an counterattacked mercilessly, playing with the small stones wholeheartedly.
Jiang Ming glanced at the porcelain bowls on the ground beside him, picked up another one and threw it into his mouth quickly.
Tian An'an exclaimed, threw the small stone into the small bowl, turned around and ran while clutching the small porcelain bowl, ran back to the house in a hurry, and poked out half of his head to see if Jiang Ming followed The cicada monkey who robbed her...
Jiang Ming couldn't help but chew, and walked towards Baicao Hall unsteadily while chewing.
Zhou Wenxiu opened the door a long time ago and was arranging the medicinal materials. Jiang Ming lay down on the bamboo chair in the inner hall with ease, and felt a little bit about the life of Dr. Sun in Jishitang. It was quite comfortable...
"Buyer, buy medicine!"
Suddenly, a man wearing a bamboo hat whose face could not be seen clearly walked into the pharmacy and said in a deep voice.
Jiang Ming didn't take it seriously, and sent Zhou Wenxiu to sell medicines. There are too many people who hide their identities and buy things. Everyone has a bit of a secret, and he is too lazy to take care of it.
But next, Jiang Ming couldn't sit still for a few herbs that this person said.
"Dragon eye, snake flower root, cicada slough, dried leech, nine-scented worm..."
Jiang Ming's memory suddenly returned to the prescription from Huang Laogui when he first crossed this world, that was the beginning of everything...
