Chapter 692(1/2)
Guhuai City, which faces a large river, is always immersed in a layer of hazy mist in the early morning. The residents of Guhuai City have long been accustomed to this layer of gauze that can block their sight.
Residents take two steps and pause to avoid bumping into others. The caravans going out will ask the clerk to lead the horses out of the city, and then get on the carriage. As for the old men with bad eyesight, they usually wait until the sun rises and the mist disappears.
Finally, surrounded by the guys, they admired their ancient Sophora City.
The annoying mist did not cause much trouble to Guhuai City.
But today was different. Two old men dressed as farmers carried their burdens and walked cautiously to the morning market.
The green vegetables in the load were just picked from their own vegetable fields. They were fresh and juicy, so they had to be early to sell them at a good price.
The two were talking about their unfulfilled children and the widow next door.
Suddenly, deep in the mist, there was a rapid sound of horse hooves.
Without any hesitation, the two of them threw the burden onto the road and ran towards the roadside.
"嘚...嘚...嘚..."
In the mist, a tall horse galloped away dimly.
"The guy who gave birth to a son without an asshole and ran so fast early in the morning must be reincarnated!" An old man spat in the direction where the black shadow disappeared.
"Guhuai City today is not what it used to be. In those days, anyone who dared to run around like this early in the morning would have been arrested by the government." Another old man shook his head.
"Keep your voice down, let the officials hear it, and they will sentence you to a heinous crime."
"Humph, I have the ability to do it, but I am afraid that others will say that since the name of Guhuaicheng was changed, the county magistrate has been unable to straighten his waist."
"Why are you so stubborn, old man? Do you know that the horse just came from the house in the center of the city?"
"If it's not him, who could it be! Who else has the guts to do this in the ancient locust city, except the big locust tree!"
...
At this time, I didn't realize that Butler Wang, who had just let others take the blame, was gritting his teeth, prostrate on the burly maroon horse, and tried not to look in front of him. Anyway, there was mist in front of him, so he couldn't see clearly at all.
His current life is entirely entrusted to the maroon horse named Lao Ma under his crotch.
Fortunately, the old horse has galloped on this road thousands of times. Although there was mist in front of it, it was able to find the road to Loess City.
When the mist disappeared and the surrounding farmland could be seen clearly, Manager Wang breathed a sigh of relief and complained about the new son-in-law.
"Inexplicably, he insists that I go back to Huangtucheng to help him get something."
"He also said that he was afraid of losing time, so he had to leave in the morning and come back at noon."
"What's so tight!"
Complaints remain complaints, but Manager Wang does not dare to neglect him at all. This son-in-law is no better than any other son-in-law, and his status in the Huang family is second only to the head of the family. Everyone in the Huang family knows that the head of the family is now Mr. Huang in name, but in fact all
Everything was left to Miss Huang Mingzhu to handle, and Huang Mingzhu obeyed the advice of her adopted son-in-law. Some servants talked privately that after Mr. Huang a hundred years later, the Huang family might change their surname to the strange Yumaz.
"Tell me, what a good Oriental, with a name like those blond and blue-eyed people across the ocean!"
Manager Wang muttered to himself, riding a bay-red horse and running towards Loess City.
The bay-red horse was extremely fast. When he returned to the Huang family's mansion, the sun had just risen above the treetops.
The boys who were sweeping the floor in front of the gate saw Manager Wang and quickly threw away their brooms. Some came up to lead the horses, and some ran to the inner house to report the news.
"Steward Wang, you've got it right. The young lady was so anxious just now that she came out several times."
"It's not like you don't know that you can't walk in that damn place in Guhuai City in the early morning. I had to risk my life to get back this time." Steward Wang handed the horse rope to the boy and walked inside.
Walk.
The boys quickly took the Zaohong horse to the nearby stable.
When Manager Wang walked through several corridors and arrived in front of the Huang family's residence, Huang Mingzhu had been waiting for a long time.
"Miss, Mr. Wang is lucky to have fulfilled his mission!" Manager Wang knelt down and saluted.
"Okay, I know it's hard for you, but my husband's matter is important, and now I have to trouble you to make a trip! After this matter is completed, I will also hand over the business in the East China Sea to you." Huang Mingzhu knew that he
This was a show of merit. While pulling him up, he thrust a wooden box into his hands.
The box is not big, only about the size of a palm, but there is a seven-piece lock hanging on it.
Seeing the crab-shaped lock, Manager Wang realized that the contents of this box must be extremely important.
Because the Qiqiao Exquisite Lock does not require a key to open, it has seven built-in mechanisms. The lock can only be unlocked by pressing the switches in a fixed sequence. It is a valuable treasure in itself. Boxes with Qiqiao Exquisite Locks generally have built-in self-destruct mechanisms.
, if it is damaged by external force, the sulfuric acid in the interlayer of the box will penetrate into the box and destroy the contents inside.
"This is what my husband wants. You must give it to him before noon!" Huang Mingzhu looked like a gentle wife in front of Captain Yumaz Lara, but she was a powerful character in front of the servants.
Just one look from her frightened Manager Wang to stop trying to show off his merits.
"Don't worry, miss, I will rush back to Guhuai City before noon."
After saying that, he stuffed the small box into his clothes, clasped his fists in salute, and then ran quickly outside the mansion.
Outside the mansion, the boys had already prepared another horse for him.
This brown horse has shiny hair, strong muscles, and sneezes from time to time. It can be seen that it was carefully selected.
Manager Wang jumped on his horse and ran towards the ancient Sophora City.
At this time, in the guest room on the third floor of Huangjia Restaurant in Guhuai City, Captain Yumaz Lala and his team members were renovating a simple filtration equipment.
More than ten tile jars are placed on wooden shelves, connected by hollow bamboo tubes, and both ends of the bamboo tubes are covered with thick silk.
In this way, when the medicinal liquid flowing down from the top tile jar flows through the bamboo tube into the next layer of tile jars, it will be filtered by the silk covering both ends, and the suspended matter in the liquid will adhere to the silk, thus entering the next layer of tile jars.
The purity of the medicinal solution in the tile jars will be higher, and then the slightly higher purity medicinal solution will pass through the bamboo tube again, enter the lower tile jars, and filter through silk again, and the purity will be improved a little more.
In this way, after more than ten filtrations, Captain Yumaz Lara will get an acute laxative called diarrhea.
If a normal person takes just one drop of this kind of laxative, he will immediately have diarrhea. If he does not take the medicine in time to neutralize it, he will probably die of dehydration due to the inability to stop the diarrhea.
After the renovation of the filtration equipment was completed, Captain Yumaz Lara took into consideration that as a divine magician, God Ancient Sophora Tree's physical fitness might be different from ordinary people, so he produced a full 20 drops of diarrhea.
"Captain, this is a must-have tool for killing people when traveling at home. How about we make more, maybe we can use it again, so we are prepared." At this time, a team member suggested.
Captain Yumaz Lara pondered for a moment. Although he was already a sleepless man, there were countless magicians who were more powerful than him on the Gay planet.
"Okay, we still have a lot of raw materials, go and get two small bottles."
After filling two more small bottles, Captain Yumaz Lara asked the team members to dismantle the simple filtering equipment and throw it into the stove in the backyard kitchen for destruction.
"The diarrhea has been completed. Now we are waiting for Manager Wang to come back."
Captain Yumaz Lala put away the two small bottles and then cleaned the room. This wine shop was full of spies from the Huang family. Once Huang Mingzhu discovered the filtering of the medicine, there was no guarantee that she would not become suspicious.
Captain Yumaz Lala knew that although Huang Mingzhu was completely obedient to him, he was very independent and thoughtful.
Once she learns the secret that she is from an alien planet, it might cause an uproar.
When he finished cleaning up, there was a rapid knock on the door. Captain Yumaz Lara knew that it was Steward Wang who had returned without using his powers.
He quickly opened the door.
"Uncle, I'm glad you fulfilled your mission!" Manager Wang's robe was already wet with sweat, and he kept wiping the sweat from his forehead with his sleeves, looking like he was working very hard.
"Thank you!" Captain Yumaz Lara nodded in thanks and stretched out his hands.
"Well, this is what you asked me to take!" Steward Wang looked at Captain Yumaz Lala's hands stretched out in front of him, and then took out the wooden box from his arms.
He handed the box into the hands of Captain Yumaz Lala, still chattering:
"Uncle, you don't know how heavy the fog was in Guhuai City this morning. It was so thick that you couldn't even see your fingers."
"That is to say, I, Old Wang, am so brave that I dare to ride a horse and run around the city. If it were someone else..."
He wanted to continue speaking, but was interrupted by Captain Yumaz Lara: "Okay, thank you for your hard work, Manager Wang. When I return to Loess City, I will definitely ask for credit for you."
"I still have important things to do now, and you've worked hard too, so just go and rest first."
After Captain Yumaz Lara finished speaking, the two team members walked outside the door, closed the door, held their arms in their arms, and acted as if they were not allowed to approach strangers.
Manager Wang had no choice but to leave in anger.
Captain Yumaz Lara heard his footsteps getting further and further away, so he placed the box on the table and pressed the mechanisms on the Qiqiao exquisite lock in sequence according to the order Huang Mingzhu told him before.
"Pop" the cover springs open.
There is a brightly blooming flower with three white petals in the box.
This flower looks like the wild flowers that can be seen everywhere on the roadside, and it doesn't smell fragrant at all. If you sell it in a medicine store, the store owner will definitely think that you are causing trouble, and ask the clerk to drive you out, and then take this flower away.
The flowers were crushed underfoot.
But if he knew that the blooming flower had been picked for more than a hundred years, he would definitely beat the ground with regret.
That's right, this flower is not an ordinary wild flower, it's called the three-petal fairy orchid, and it comes from the Shiwan Mountains.
It has only one effect, which is to eliminate the original smell of everything. Soak it in vinegar, and vinegar will have no sour taste. Soak it in wine, and wine will turn into boiled water. Put it in honey, and honey will have no sour taste.
Sweetness.
Of course, it does not change the original properties of everything: aged vinegar is still aged vinegar, fine wine is still fine wine, and honey is still honey.
This is a herb that doesn't seem to be of much use, but is very rare, and its price is no cheaper than those herbs that can prolong life.
