Chapter 344 Poke the big basket!
Having your own medicine shop is the biggest wish of Ni Hongwei and Wu Acai
With the help of Li Ba, they bought a shop in the market, bought counter tables and chairs and other essentials, and prepared to open today. Although they had been tossing for the middle of the night last night, the couple still got up early and went to the market immediately after dinner.
As for their Prince Li, he slept in the room with his head covered and his snoring sounded like thunder. The couple didn't disturb him. Wu Acai also made lunch specially and put it in the pot. After Prince Li got up, he could eat it after hot.
When they arrived at the market, a girl wearing flower-miao clothes came early in front of her own shop. She was Wu Acai's friend Shi Zhu and also a mature girl. Before the end of the world, they were colleagues and fled to Lanjiadong together.
The medicine was opened and worried that she could not be busy. Wu Acai specially called her friends to help. Of course, she had another important idea, which was to introduce her friends to Li Ba so that the prince would not live alone and live in the Miao village.
The good sisters met and were particularly intimate and had endless whispers. Ni Hongwei met and smiled and said, "It's getting late, so let's open the shop first. If you want to talk, please ask Shi Zhu to our house tonight."
Wu Acai's eyes lit up after hearing this, he held the good sister's hand, lowered his voice and said, "Azhu, go to my house tonight, I will introduce you to a prince."
Shi Zhu has fair skin and delicate facial features. She is also a typical Miao beauty. After hearing this, she covered her mouth and smiled and said, "Let's just agree first. It's not a handsome guy, don't introduce it to me."
"Don't worry, absolutely handsome guy." Wu Acai patted her chest and promised.
The store is opened. Since Ni Hongwei was originally a herb collector, he knew many colleagues. Today he opened. With the care of his in advance, many colleagues he knew came to take care of the business and sold the herbs he had picked to his house.
According to Li Ba's advice, Ni Hongwei offered a fair offer, so the business was very good. The three of them were busy all morning and had almost no rest. It was almost noon before they slowly got off.
He was sending off the last customer. Ni Hongwei planned to drink water and take a break. At this moment, more than a dozen Miao men walked in from outside.
"Miao Soldier"
Ni Hongwei lived in Lanjiadong for more than a year and knew the situation here very well. At a glance, these strong men with Miao swords hanging around their waists were all Miao soldiers from the mother village. He knew the leading man, Baru, from the mother village, who seemed to have a relative relationship with his wife.
"Brother Ji, why are you here?"
While Ni Hongwei was about to say hello, Wu Acai, who was chatting with Shi Zhu, came over to say hello.
"Hey, it's A Cai"
The leading Miao man was Lan Ji who bought the soft armor of the golden dragon from Li Ba a few days ago. When he saw Wu Acai, his dark face immediately smiled.
Wu Acai's grandmother's surname is Lan, and she is a native of Lanjiadong. She is a cousin with Lanji's grandfather. Therefore, Wu Acai can be regarded as Lanji's cousin. When she escaped to Lanjiadong, she received Lanji's care a lot.
"Brother Ji"
Ni Hongwei also hurried over to say hello.
Lan Ji looked at the young couple and asked with a smile: "Did you open this pharmacy?"
"yes"
Wu Acai nodded and said in a angrily tone, "I went to the village to find you yesterday and wanted to ask for some preferential policies. Unexpectedly, I didn't see you guys for a whole morning, and even my uncle was not in the village."
After hearing this, Lan Ji scratched his head and said with a smile: "My father and I went to Tianshui Village to do business yesterday and are not at home." At this point, he turned around and said to a Miao soldier next to him, "You go and tell the person in charge of the market, this store is run by my girl. Don't charge any management fees or anything else."
"yes"
The Miao soldier responded and immediately turned around and left.
"It's still Brother Ji's good enough"
Wu Acai was full of excitement. It would be fine to do business in the market and set up street stalls. If he had a serious shop, he would have to pay a monthly management fee. Although the amount was not large, he would certainly be happy to save it.
"Brother Ji, take your brothers and I'll go make tea."
Ni Hongwei greeted him warmly. In Lanjiadong, this cheap cousin is very good at hand and eyes. Of course, he has to work hard to win over and deepen his feelings.
"No"
Lan Ji declined politely, saying that there was something important to do. When he was about to leave with his men, he thought about it, took out a portrait, and pointed: "Have you seen this person...have you seen it?"
This is not Prince Li
Although the portrait only has the upper half of the face, it is very good at painting and vividly. Wu Acai recognized at a glance that the person in the portrait was Li Ba.
She was about to speak, but unexpectedly, Ni Hongwei took the lead and said with a smile: "I look at you... I don't know you." Then, he pretended to be curious, why is this portrait only half of his face?"
As soon as his man spoke, Wu Acai immediately reacted and asked: "Brother Ji, why are you looking for this person?"
Lan Ji had already put away the portrait at this moment and replied with a smile: "It's not us looking for him, it's the Gu girl who told me that we must find this person."
When talking about the word Gu girl, everyone in the store showed a look of awe on their faces, including Ni Hongwei. He has lived in Lanjiadong for so long, so he naturally knew what Gu girl Lan Ji said meant in Miao Village.
That is the supreme existence like a god in the minds of the Miao people.
"Brother Li won't offend Master Gu, right..."
A flash of horror flashed in Ni Hongwei's eyes, but his expression remained unchanged. He asked with a smile: "Brother Ji, why did Master Gu look for him?"
"Don't know"
Lan Ji shook his head. After that, he did not stay and told the couple to do business with peace of mind. If there is any trouble, they would go to him.
After Lan Ji and others left, Ni Hongwei immediately dragged Wu Acai to the corner and lowered his voice and said, "You stay and see the store, I'll go back... Remember, don't tell anyone that Brother Li is at our house."
"I know," Wu Acai nodded. In her mind, she was also full of awe of the Gu Girl. But she did not blindly worship her like the mother village tribe. The reason was very simple. She was familiar with the Chinese culture and knew the principle of marrying her husband. She would do whatever her man said.
Afterwards, Lan Ji hurriedly left.
In fact, Lan Ji, who was in charge of finding someone, was also very confused. If he read it correctly, the person in this portrait was the Han brother who sold him the armor a few days ago. He was a little surprised and a little confused. Why did the Gu Girl look for this Han brother?
You know, the Gu girl never leaves the village. Even if the people of this clan meet few people, how could they be related to this Han brother?
Although he was strange, he would not disobey the orders of Lord Gu. He sent additional personnel to block the entire Lanjiadong and search for this Han man.
Li Ba, who was in the bamboo building of Ni Hongwei's house, obviously didn't know that what happened last night was not over. He was lying on the bed and slept soundly until Ni Hongwei returned home and woke him up.
"Xiao Ni, isn't the medicine roll open today... Why are you back?" Li Ba yawned and asked slowly after rubbing his sleepy eyes.
Ni Hongwei didn't say anything, just stared at him. Li Ba felt a little embarrassed when he was seen, and he touched his face: "Is there something on my face?"
"No" Ni Hongwei shook his head.
"Then you stare at me and look at me." Li Ba rolled his eyes in anger.
"Brother Li, do you know the Gu girl from Baimiao Mother Village?" Ni Hongwei finally asked. He stared at Li Ba, with a simple purpose, just to confirm whether the person in the portrait was his brother Li.
The result is certainly him
"Go girl?"
Li Ba turned over and sat up, scratched his forehead, and said, "I don't know you."
"Brother, I won't joke with you. Now there is a mess outside. All the Miao soldiers from the mother village are dispatched to find someone with your portrait..."
Ni Hongwei looked at Li Ba with a serious expression and said, "There is still a Han man with a head. Although the portrait is only half a face, it looks like you... It is said that Miao Bing arrested this bald Han man with the order of the Gu Woman. This matter is extraordinary, you must tell me the truth."
So serious
Li Ba's sleepiness was gone. After thinking about it, he already understood what was going on. He said to Ni Hongwei: "I don't know the Gu girl, but last night... I went to Qingshuixi to swim. I accidentally ran into a beautiful woman in the Xialiu Chahe... My brother accidentally ran into it and took a few more glances."
"Is the Chahe surrounded by a wooden fence?" Ni Hongwei asked, swallowing and spitting.
"Yes, I broke the fence and went in," Li Ba admitted honestly.
"My God, brother, that Cha River is called Yueliang Lake, which is the forbidden area of Baimiao's mother village. No one is allowed to break in. Violators will be killed without mercy." At this point, Ni Hongwei opened his mouth wide and was shocked. He pointed at Li Ba and said, "Brother, you can't just peek at the Gu girl taking a bath."
Li Ba touched his nose and said a little embarrassedly: "First of all, I made a statement, I didn't mean it... However, that beauty does know how to witch things. I suffered a little and almost lost my life."
"Brother, you have the chance to come back, brother admires you." After hearing this, Ni Hongwei gave Li Ba thumbs up.
"Xiao Ni, what is this Gu girl?" Now it was Li Ba's turn to ask back. He was also very curious about the identity of the beauty last night.
"Five branches of Miao are born, believe in the Jiuli ancestor spirit, and are proficient in the secret techniques of witchcraft. Throughout the dynasties, the clan will select children with extraordinary talents and send them to a hidden place they call the temple. They will withstand the test of Jiuli ancestor spirit. The boy who selected is the Gu son, the girl who is the Gu daughter, and the secret techniques of witchcraft... "
Although Ni Hongwei is a Han Chinese, his wife Wu Acai's ancestors were indeed a perfect seedling, and he has a deep understanding of the inheritance of witchcraft. According to Ni Hongwei, the selected Gu Zi Gu Girl symbolized the envoy who walked on the earth. He had a high status and no one could match. The witchcraft attainments are also extremely powerful.
"The eighteen caves in Miao District, Bai Miao occupied four caves. Not to mention the survivors of the Han people, there are as many as 500,000 people in Miao alone. The heads of each cave are named as leaders, but in fact they all obey the orders of Gu Girl. It can be said that this Gu Girl Lord Lanjiadong is the co-lord of Bai Miao, with a high status and a god-like existence... Brother, who is not easy to mess with? How can you mess with her? You even peek at someone taking a bath."
After Ni Hongwei said this, he shook his head repeatedly, and was completely speechless about the brother he recognized.
"It's all because of your wife, what cat whip soup... You two are so fussy, happy, I wonder how I survived last night."
Li Ba was righteous and confident.
Ni Hongwei was speechless again.
At this time, Li Ba scratched his head and said, "Look at it, even if I dig my eyes now, it would be useless... I would have known what kind of Gu woman this woman was, so I should have looked at it a few more times. Anyway, I offended it, so I won't look at it if I don't look at it." He still regretted the first half of the sentence, but in the second half, he was a broken can.
Ni Hongwei couldn't help but say, "Brother, you have this idea now... If I were you, I wouldn't think of a way to leave Lanjiadong and avoid the limelight first."
"Well, I have this plan, too."
This time Li Ba expressed his agreement. Unexpectedly, the beauty was so big last night, with more people under him, and was well aware of strange witchcraft. Judging from the current situation, she could not offend her and had to flash her mind.
"When I came back, I saw that the suspension bridge had been sealed by Miao soldiers, and there were Miao soldiers guarding them everywhere along the river... Brother, it's very difficult for you to leave Lanjiadong now." Ni Hongwei smiled bitterly.
After hearing this, Li Ba said, "With a half-face portrait, they can catch me... This is too underestimating."
"Brother, what are you good at?" Ni Hongwei's eyes lit up.
"The mountain man has his own trick"
Li Ba showed a fox-like smile on his face. To be continued.
