41, sincere
When Xie Mingze woke up on the morning of the sixth day of the Lunar New Year, he was not very awake.
Before he became confused, he remembered that he had been busy buying shops from Sun at a low price these past few days, and had not taken care of his health points.
Xie Mingze: 123 Ah, how much total health do I have left now?
There were still more than a hundred before, which was enough to keep him high for a long time, but he also had to be prepared for danger in times of peace.
[The host’s current total health value is 46.]
Xie Mingze suddenly woke up: No, not? How many? Forty-six?
He only has forty-six lives left? Damn it...that's not even enough for four days.
Forty-eight more in four days?
Xie Mingze sat up and couldn't sleep at all: Come on, come on, come on, do [immediate task].
What kind of person is this? 123 doesn’t even have a reminder function?
【…………】
Fortunately, 123 turned a deaf ear to Xie Mingze’s complaints and dutifully informed Xie Mingze of the immediate task of this extraction.
Xie Mingze was a little confused after hearing this: The next task was to get Zen Heart White x1; gain 50 health points.
What is Zen Xin Bai? Is it a person or an object? Does it have anything to do with the plot?
123 didn’t say anything anymore, and he didn’t know whether he didn’t know or couldn’t answer. Xie Mingze thought it was the latter.
Zen Heart White? Since it is obtained, it is more likely that it is not a person or an object, but the name is too general, and I don’t even know what it is. How can I find it?
But this Zen Heart White is worth 50 health points, which is equivalent to the life of the male partner. It seems that it will definitely be of great use in the future.
He recently did some research and found that every random task released by the system has traces to follow, is not useless, and is related to the nearby plot, which can be regarded as a welfare gold finger for him.
There is no doubt about this.
Xie Mingze has never heard of Zen Heart White from Xie Yujiao, it should be something that Xie Yujiao did not know about in her previous life.
If it was really so important, Xie Yujiao wouldn't not look for it.
Zen Heart White sounds like the Heart Sutra. Is it a book?
But he wasn't sure, but...
He didn't know but he could test Cheap Husband. But if this thing was important or subtle, and he said it rashly, Cheap Husband wouldn't wonder where he learned about it?
After thinking about it, Xie Mingze temporarily suppressed this idea, but then the task must be completed today.
He originally planned to go to the black market today. Could it be that... Zen Xinbai is in the black market?
Xie Mingze asked the system in his mind, and 123 continued to pretend to be dead.
Xie Mingze didn't care. He was originally going to the black market to find out information, and by the way, he provoked Sanfang and the black market to fight dog-eat-dog.
After thinking it over, Xie Mingze planned to find a cheap husband.
But as soon as he walked out of the yard, he saw the cheap husband sitting under a tree in his yard for an unknown time. He had been sitting there for an unknown amount of time. He turned his head when he heard the noise, and his eyes fell on the young man who covered his lips and yawned. He narrowed his eyes and said,
Didn't speak.
Xie Mingze walked over quickly: "Husband, why are you here?"
Chu Li: "I woke up this morning with some discomfort in my legs. I came here to ask my wife to ask the miracle doctor." When Chu Li said this, his voice was very soft and low. I wonder if he just woke up in the morning, and there was something that Xie Mingze couldn't hear.
mean.
Xie Mingze lowered his head and squatted down: "Discomfort? Where exactly is the discomfort? Husband, please tell me so I can talk to the miracle doctor."
Chu Li: "The bones are a little itchy and sore, but it's still bearable."
Xie Mingze breathed a sigh of relief: "This is a good thing, husband, your bones are slowly healing and growing, as long as you are not unconscious." Xie Mingze couldn't feel the pulse directly, but looking at Chu Li's face, he looked very good and was in good spirits.
It didn't look like his blood was stagnant, and it even healed faster than he expected.
It would take a hundred days for an ordinary person to break his muscles and bones, but Chu Li was a martial arts practitioner, so logically it wouldn't take that long.
It's been almost a month now. Maybe after another month, Chu Li's bones will be able to completely grow back.
Chu Li obviously didn't have this intention: "This...that's great. Madam, are you going out?" His eyes fell on the newly made brocade robe on his body, which made his appearance even more beautiful, especially his fair skin.
, there is a sense of boyhood in which men and women cannot distinguish between men and women.
Xie Mingze's dark pupils flashed slightly, and he looked at Chu Li, and suddenly thought of an excuse: "I went to a teahouse before and heard someone mention that there is a black market in the capital, saying that you can buy a lot of things that you can't find in it. This is not the miracle doctor's gang before.
I'm busy, I feel like I owe the miracle doctor a lot. The miracle doctor has recently been short of some medicinal materials, so I thought about looking for them. If I can find some, they can be used by the miracle doctor."
When Xie Mingze finished speaking, he felt like a clever little guy.
This excuse is simply...perfect.
Chu Li was startled, then chuckled: "Madam is thoughtful, but the reason why Madam owes the miracle doctor is because of her husband. There is no reason for Madam to worry about it alone."
Xie Mingze felt an ominous premonition as he looked at Chu Li's handsome face, whose smile eclipsed the flowers behind him.
Chu Li looked at Xie Mingze and continued slowly: "My husband will go with my wife."
Xie Mingze: "..."
Jin Yubao knew yesterday that he was going to the black market today and the Lantern Festival tomorrow. He was ready early in the morning and sat obediently on the carriage with his head hanging out to wait for his benefactor.
However, at the appointed time, his benefactor appeared, but he was not alone. Behind him was the person he had always been afraid of...the benefactor's husband.
Jin Yubao's happy little face froze, and she silently shrank her neck and slowly retracted her head behind the carriage curtain: Ah ah ah, why did the benefactor bring the black-faced husband?
On the way to the black market, Jin Yubao and Xie Mingze sat face to face, and Chu Li sat in the main seat.
Jin Yubao took a sneak peek and saw that Chu Li had his eyes closed. He silently said to Xie Mingze: My benefactor, didn't you say it was just you and me?
Xie Mingze shrugged: I think so too. The problem is that my husband wants to follow, but he has good intentions. We have to take care of the patient's emotions.
In the past few days, Jin Yubao had also heard from Li Si that his master had injured his leg. When Jin Yubao later found out that this was King Li, he was so frightened that he did not dare to approach him at all. If his benefactor had not been here, he would have backed down and not gone at all.
Already.
Hearing those people outside say that King Li might not be able to stand up in the future, but his benefactor was still overjoyed, he felt that his benefactor was a bit miserable.
But the benefactor seemed not to care, as if his feelings were very deep.
Hearing this now, he was even more sure. He thought about the script he had asked the boy to find before, and concluded that the truth was: the benefactor may have liked King Li before, so he ignored King Li's serious injury and was unconscious, in order to save King Li.
She married King Li at the expense of being a man. Now that King Li can wake up, even if he cannot stand up, his benefactor is overjoyed.
Jin Yubao was moved: it was such a soul-stirring sadomasochism.
The benefactor is so kind.
Xie Mingze just made a random excuse, but in the end, the kid got red-eyed? Is he so easily moved?
Li Si had heard of the black market, but he had never been to it.
When the carriage was approaching, it stopped not far away. Li Si took some masks and handed them over. Who said he didn't care, but Li Si was afraid that his identity would cause unnecessary trouble.
Xie Mingze didn't care, he took it and handed it to Jin Yubao and Chu Li.
After a group of four people put on their masks, Xie Mingze jumped out of the carriage first. He had never been to the black market. He curiously looked ahead and saw that it was a remote alley far away from the trouble.
Guarding at the end were several strong men in tight black robes with sabers at their waists, walking around. There was a passage behind them.
It's so deep inside that I can't see clearly what's going on inside.
Xie Mingze's attention was focused on the so-called black market. Behind him, Jin Yubao originally wanted to follow Chu Li, but when he saw Chu Li sitting in a wheelchair, he endured fear and trembled in a low voice, saying in a low voice: "Although, although
My benefactor likes you and has sacrificed so much for you, but if you are sorry for your benefactor, our Jin family is not someone to be trifled with."
For the first time, Jin Yubao said the most threatening words with the most cowardly courage, and his teeth were chattering.
In particular, when King Li heard the words, he glanced at him lightly. His pupils were so dark that no light could penetrate, like a dry well and a deep pool, which made people intimidating.
Chu Li narrowed his eyes: "Oh? Then what do you think of him?"
Jin Yubao patted his chest: "He is my benefactor. He is one year older than me and is considered my elder brother. As a younger brother, I naturally have to protect my elder brother!" After that, in order to feel confident, he raised his head and his beautiful face was full of emotions.
Pure shortcomings.
Chu Li suddenly suppressed the pressure around him: "I understand."
Jin Yubao looked at him suspiciously: What does "know" mean? Does it mean that he doesn't dare to apologize to his benefactor, or does he just know his own threat?
Over there, Xie Mingze turned around: "Why don't you come over?"
Jin Yubao was so angry that he got scared when he said it. He hunched his neck and ran to Xie Mingze in small steps.
Li Si stopped the carriage and came to push Chu Li. When he lowered his head, he found that his master seemed to be in a good mood: ??Eh? The master was not depressed when he got off the carriage just now? Is this good?
Sure enough, you can't guess what the master is thinking. You can't figure it out even if you keep guessing.
Although Xie Mingze was curious, he had never been here before, and he didn't want to cause trouble. He waited for Jin Yubao to come over and whispered to him to follow him closely after he entered and not to run around.
Jin Yubao nodded like garlic.
Li Si saw the two of them with their heads next to each other, and felt panicked. He lowered his voice and reminded Chu Li: "Master, look, my wife is whispering to Mr. Jin. Should we go there too?"
Unexpectedly, Chu Li just shook his head and had no such intention.
Even seeing the two people getting closer and closer, there was no reaction at all. Li Si became even more panicked: No, it can't be? Is it that I am completely unmoved? Madam can't cause any trouble to me anymore?
They have only been married for less than a month!
When Xie Mingze and Jin Yubao approached, they were stopped by a strong man: "Pass sign."
Xie Mingze was just confused when Li Si handed over a sign.
The strong man was shocked when he took the sign. He respectfully handed the sign back and stepped aside to let them in.
Xie Mingze suppressed his curiosity and walked in.
As you walk further in, you will find a long passage, but as you go further in, you will find a different world. It is a large courtyard, covering a wide area. There is no wing building, but an open space.
It was just separated by grids one after another. Everyone came and went wearing masks, and of course some didn't.
When I saw them coming in, I just glanced at them and quickly looked away, focusing on the sellers who had various things around, trying to find what I wanted to buy.
Xie Mingze became even more curious. He stepped back as he walked, reached in front of Chu Li, and lowered his voice: "Husband, what brand did Li Si give you just now? Have you been here before?"
Chu Li snorted: "I needed something before and I came here a few times."
Xie Mingze felt that it was not just that. Seeing that the black market seemed to be very respectful to Chu Li, did the cheap husband know the people in the black market?
Or is it also involved?
If this is the case, then the previous plan needs to be changed. Although it is interesting to let the black market and the Sun family's three-bedroom dog bite the dog, it is not necessary, especially if a cheap husband is involved.
After all, they are on the same rope now, so let's try to trick the Sun family again.
This is not the first time that Zuo and Zuo have been deceived. Sun is used to being deceived.
Xie Mingze did not dwell on this and verified what he wanted to ask: "Why don't these people just buy or sell on the market?"
Chu Li: "Some things are shady, and some people don't want to reveal their identity and are eager to take action. These are all unregistered or have dirty origins, but it does not prevent someone from being willing to ask for the money to get what they want."
Xie Mingze had only made a rough guess before, but Chu Li's explanation was very different from what he had guessed. It was indeed the case.
Xie Mingze came early. He had seen the plot of the day. Today, Mr. Sun knew that there were two needed herbs in the black market, so he would take the money to go to Mr. Sun and ask him to come to the black market to buy them on his behalf.
However, Mrs. Sun had to wait for Mr. Xie to leave before going to see Mr. Sun, which would take some time. Mr. Sun did not take it seriously, and it was almost noon when he remembered his verbal promise.
Xie Mingze only needs to buy those two herbs in advance.
It was still early before noon, so Xie Mingze simply took over from Li Si and pushed Chu Li away while looking at him: "It's rare to come here. Is there anyone you like, husband?"
Chu Li shook his head: "I don't need these."
Xie Mingze just thought he was embarrassed to speak, so he bought it and gave it away directly.
He made a lot of money, was in a good mood, and everyone had a share.
Xie Mingze didn't wander around for too long when he saw that the two herbs he wanted were sold by an elder wearing a mask and white robes. That's why Xie Mingze knew it was the elder.
Even though the other party was wearing a mask, his white beard was still exposed.
The robe is very old, and the herbs have been dried for some time. They are placed in a very delicate sandalwood brocade box. Even after such a long time, the smell of the herbs can still be faintly conveyed.
Xie Mingze guessed that the elderly were in urgent need of money, so they did not hesitate to sell these two herbs.
Generally, you need to register in advance to sell. There are people in the black market who promote it in advance, and those who are interested can come and buy it.
It's just that so many people are not interested in these two medicinal herbs.
Firstly, the price is expensive; secondly, it is not a very precious and life-saving herb on the market.
However, these two herbs are needed by the miracle doctor. He needs these two to refine a medicine, and he just needs these two.
The book mentions that one of Ning Wanwan's cousins happened to come to visit and saw that the old man seemed to be short of money, so he bought it as a favor.
Later, Ning Wanwan accidentally found the miracle doctor and knew that he needed these two medicinal materials. It happened that this cousin was scolded by the elders because he spent a lot of money to buy unused medicinal herbs. Ning Wanwan was
knew.
But now that Ning Wanwan has entered the palace, he will cure Princess Shouzhu's illness in the future, and the miracle doctor will not come, so there is no need to wait for the cousin to buy it again.
Wouldn't it be advantageous for Sun again then?
After all, for my cousin, he was scolded for buying it. If Sun came to buy it, he would probably sell it casually and not be able to keep it.
Xie Mingze squatted down and chose these two herbs: "Old man, how do you sell these two herbs?"
The old man was wearing a mask and couldn't see his face clearly: "A total of three thousand taels."
Li Si took a breath on the side: What kind of medicinal materials cost three thousand taels for two flavors?
But he didn't dare to speak, but he was afraid that his wife would be deceived for the first time.
Xie Mingze didn't counter-offer, and took out the banknote directly: "Three thousand taels."
The old man was obviously taken aback. Unexpectedly, he gave it directly without even counter-offering: "You... how about a counter-offer?"
Xie Mingze couldn't help laughing: "Don't worry, old man, I won't lose money when I buy this herb. Since you are in urgent need of money, why are you saving money for me? Take it, I am in business and I will definitely not lose money."
"
As he said that, he picked up the two herbs and put down the three thousand taels and stood up. When he turned his head, he saw Chu Li frowning and looking at a brocade box in the corner of the stall.
Xie Mingze looked along and found that it was a dark stone-like thing, not a medicinal herb.
Seeing Chu Li keep staring, he thought he wanted it.
Xie Mingze knelt down again, picked up the brocade box, and picked up this dark object that looked like a stone. It didn't look like jade and didn't look valuable. Why was it placed here?
"Old man, how do you sell this?"
"You want this?" The old man was obviously stunned. He obviously didn't expect anyone to pay for this thing. "This thing is not valuable, but the box in which it is placed is valuable. There is a jade stone on it. If you want it, sir, it can be regarded as these two medicinal herbs."
I gave it to the young master as a gift."
Xie Mingze shook his head: "Let me tell you a price." Since it is what the cheap husband wants, how can you buy him a gift?
How insincere.
The old man saw that Xie Mingze didn't want it without telling him the price. He knew that he had met a kind-hearted person, so he thought for a moment: "Just fifty taels."
That jade is worth one or two hundred taels.
Xie Mingze didn't say much this time, and took out a fifty-tael silver note and handed it over.
He doesn't like to take silver, he is just like gold and jade, he only carries silver notes.
When Xie Mingze bought this thing, Chu Li kept frowning and looking at it with a rare dazed expression. Finally, his eyes fell on the old man, and he quickly looked away.
The old man obviously didn't expect that business would be so smooth today, so he didn't stay long. After Xie Mingze and his party left, he immediately packed up several other brocade boxes, paid the remuneration that should be paid to the black market, and left in a hurry.
Chu Li looked back and lowered his eyes not knowing what to think.
Suddenly a slender white hand stretched out in front of him, and at the same time a box was handed over.
The box is only about the size of a palm, with a simple color, the dark lines are golden, and in the middle is a jade stone. At this moment, the box is closed, covering the dark stone inside, and it looks quite similar.
Chu Li raised his eyes and turned his head to look at Xie Mingze: "Huh?"
Xie Mingze's eyes were bent under his mask: "It's for you. Don't you want it?" He had been staring at it, as if he was very happy.
Chu Li didn't reach out to take it. He was probably surprised that Xie Mingze bought it for him. His expression became more complicated: "You... bought this specifically for me?"
Xie Mingze: "Yeah? You don't want it?"
He was about to take his hand back. He originally thought that Chu Li would definitely accept it, but the other party still didn't move. He simply stretched out his hand to hold his and put the box in his palm: "Here, this is for you, don't be too moved.
."
Chu Li obviously didn't expect that Xie Mingze would misunderstand that he wanted this. He looked at Xie Mingze in confusion: "If you know what this is, just give it to me?"
Xie Mingze thought to himself: It's just a stone. Besides, he doesn't care even if it's jade. Of course, unless it's Zen White, he might take another look at it, but how is that possible?
The reason why Zen Heart White is called Zen Heart White is because neither the objects nor the books can be this dark stone.
One black and one white, how funny?
Xie Mingze: "No matter what it is, if you give it to your husband, it belongs to your husband."
Chu Li looked at him deeply and finally put the box away.
Xie Mingze was in a very good mood. He didn't expect the cheap husband to be so polite and refuse such a cheap thing. Sure enough, he was right and he didn't take advantage of him at all.
Xie Mingze was still eager to find Zen Xinbai, but he just took a look around and saw a lot of rare things, but none of them were what Xie Mingze wanted. He looked around and looked at all the white ones or the only books.
It has nothing to do with "Zen" or "whiteness" at all.
Xie Mingze: 123, are you kidding me? There is no Zen Heart White in the black market at all? Or is it in other places like Zhenbao Pavilion?
Xie Mingze did not receive a reply from the system.
Just when Xie Mingze thought that the system would not answer him as before, the system's mechanical sound rang.
[[Subsequent mission] Obtain Zen Heart White x1; failed.]
Xie Mingze:???He failed, right? He failed even before noon?
123 Isn’t this too confident for him?
[The host has given Zen Heart White to others, and the remaining time is less than an hour. The mission failed, and the health gained is 0; ]
Xie Mingze: “…………”
He felt that his mind was a little confused. When did he give the Zen Heart to others? Why didn't he know it? He still... still...
Just when Xie Mingze opened his mouth to babble, a string in his mind broke: Damn... is he lucky or bad?
You can meet Zen Xinbai just by buying some medicinal herbs? In the end, he changed hands and gave them to others?
Fifty health points...
Xie Mingze opened his mouth and his whole body felt bad.
This is like a person who has been hungry for a long time. A table full of Manchus and Han people is placed in front of him. He thinks it is a mirage, and he waves his hand generously: I will not eat the food that comes to me.
As a result, when I blinked and found out it was true, it was too late.
Xie Mingze: Just, there is no room for recovery? It’s less than an hour, what if it lasts for an hour?
[You need the host to get the other party to give it back to you for one hour, and you can complete the mission again.]
Xie Mingze: What he gave away, he asked the other party to return it to him? One hour?
It's so nice to say this, but everyone will think that he regrets not wanting to give it to him. This, this, he can't afford to embarrass this person!
No, isn't it just fifty health points?
Xie Mingze looked at the cheap man who knew nothing: Your legs are only worth a hundred health points in total, so the gift of fifty health points is really sincere, man!!
Chapter completed!
