Chapter 0333 take Polygonatum to visit the evening market
"Master Su, do you want me to go find the prince? Give him a helping hand?"
"Well, that's right."
"But the old man has also been looking for the prince, but has not found his whereabouts."
In this world, the people who gather the most, but are also the most difficult to win over, are undoubtedly beggars.
Especially in the turbulent times of war, there were already a large number of homeless people, and those beggars who were looked down upon were twisted into a strong hemp rope.
Lao Zhutou already had a wide network of contacts. After several months of dedicated expansion, coupled with Jiyuefang's secret efforts, tens of thousands of beggars spread across cities and towns.
Jiyuefang is the largest gold-selling cave in Luoqi, and its level is even feared by the imperial court. Yueniang and Lao Zhutou used silver to help beggars and homeless people, winning people's hearts very quickly.
At the same time, the little demons that Mo Sheng had trained for many years had already blended in, perfectly hiding their identities as demons or half-humans and half-demon, and unknowingly infiltrated into the human race.
"He should be here." Su Zhen poked somewhere on the ground with a branch, "You don't need to show up in person, just let someone keep an eye on him in secret to make sure his life is safe."
Lao Zhutou and Yuzhu looked at the position pointed by the branch in amazement. Lao Zhutou said in surprise, "No way? Mr. Su, are you mistaken? You shouldn't be!"
"I'm just being blind. It's just that since he has entered the military camp, it has sharpened his impetuous temperament. Unless he is in deep danger of death, there is no need to take action." Su Zhen didn't look like he was joking at all.
Old Zhutou turned the grilled fish in front of him, removed the bones and ate it. After he finished eating, he nodded, "Okay! I have already written it down. As long as Mr. Su is determined to be ruthless, it will be done."
"Well, Lao Zhutou, you will set off in three days. As for the remaining curse effect on your body, I can't remove it yet, so I can only suppress it with medicine. I will practice spiritual skills as soon as possible to help you get out of the sea of suffering as soon as possible."
Lao Zhutou smiled bitterly and shook his head, "Actually, I look pretty good the way I am now. I don't seek fame, fortune, or wealth. If it weren't for my only remaining life, I would be quite comfortable living like this."
"Old Zhutou, I still want to say I'm sorry about Song Kun. We didn't want to kill him at the time, but..."
"Well, Mr. Su, Mr. Mo Sheng has already explained to me what happened at that time. Whether he is a human or a demon, or the reincarnation of some ancient demon beast Tingli, I can't quite understand it. That kid Songkun He liked to deceive and deceive, and he was very vengeful, but he was very kind to me. At that time, my father and I were living on the streets, living on each other. We lived for several days with only half a piece of cornmeal, and almost starved to death."
While listening to Lao Zhutou's endless chatter, Su Zhen took the pheasant off the campfire stand. The tangy smell of the meat made people salivate. She also took out a dagger, cut off the chicken legs and wanted to hand them to Yuzhu. But remembering that monks don't eat meat, he took back his hand.
After Lao Zhutou finished telling the past, he picked up the wine jar next to him and took a sip of wine. The wine flowed down his beard that had not been taken care of for a long time and into his clothes.
"Old Zhutou, I will take my little monk and leave first. Please take care along the way." Su Zhen took out a bamboo tube and handed it to him, "Take this and take it after seven days."
"What is this?"
"poison!"
"Okay! I'll take it." Lao Zhutou took the bamboo tube and put it away without thinking.
"Why don't you ask me about my motives? Do you want the antidote to this poison?"
"It's not necessary, and there's no need for you to let me die."
"This is really extremely poisonous, the kind that will seal your throat when you see blood." Su Zhenpi said with a smile.
Yuzhu noticed Su Zhen's intention, touched the smooth spoon, and moved her lips. When hesitating whether to speak, Su Zhen returned the chicken to Lao Zhu, and held Yuzhu's wrist.
"Little monk, let's go."
"Are you going back now?"
"Otherwise? Do you want to stay?"
Yuzhu shook his head.
"That's fine then."
Yuzhu rarely obeyed and followed the strength of Su Zhen's hand, sitting up from the ground.
Two figures, one large and one small, walked towards the gate of the City God's Temple, smelling the strong aroma of food and burning, and looked back at Lao Zhutou, who was surrounded by black smoke above his head.
That is the energy of death, and such a situation will only occur when there is a possibility of sudden death in the near future.
...
Su Zhen brought Yuzhu into the city gate of Kyoto, and walked openly and openly on the evening long street of Kyoto.
Under the dark night, lights filled the imperial capital at the feet of the Emperor. Countless red palace lanterns were hung high in front of restaurants and shops. There were so many pedestrians, and with the carriages and chariots, the originally spacious long street was squeezed into a very narrow space.
After the previous demonic storm stopped, the heat that originally filled the air also disappeared. There was constant laughter and excitement everywhere.
Vendors set out their stalls one after another, and everywhere you can see honey-filled lotus roots, honey cakes and sweet soups, paper-painted fans, rattan tables and rattan chairs, in short, there should be an end.
Su Zhen stopped in front of a stall, picked up a round wooden ball from the table, put it in her hand and played with it, secretly admiring in her eyes.
He raised his eyebrows and looked at the stall owner, who was estimated to be in his prime of life. His appearance was unremarkable, even mediocre. The blue cloth on his body had been washed and almost lost its color. There were thick marks on the fingers and the tiger's mouth of his left hand.
There are calluses, and the new wounds on the right hand cover the old ones, which are obviously caused by frequent carvings in daily life.
"Boss, I like these very much. I want them all. Wrap them up for me!"
Su Zhen took out a few gold leaves, placed them in front of the stall owner, and said with a smile.
"This... this young master, the little man, these little ones together don't have a few taels of silver in total. You gave me too much!"
When the stall owner looked up, he was first struck by Su Zhen's appearance, and he stuttered a bit when he spoke.
"Boss, this wood may not be valuable, but your craftsmanship is priceless."
The stall owner next to him saw Su Zhen playing happily with a wooden ball, and said with a little disgust, "Looking at the bright clothes, it turns out that he is a country bumpkin who has never seen the world."
"idiot!"
Su Zhen mocked unceremoniously.
Raising her hand to press somewhere on the ball, she heard a "click" sound, and the ball began to change instantly. Su Zhen pressed and moved her fingers quickly, and saw that the original wooden ball gradually turned into countless small wooden pieces at a speed visible to the naked eye.
new form.
Su Zhen's hand speed became faster and faster, and the small pieces of wood continued to split. The expressions of the people watching around changed from contempt and ridicule to now dull.
Several nearby stall owners usually look down on this poor carpenter, but it turns out that he has such ability.
When those small pieces of wood split and changed to the size of a fingernail, Su Zhen pressed a certain mechanism on the top, and it finally stopped changing.
Holding the left and right ends with both hands and twisting them gently, she heard a "click" sound and split into two halves, lying quietly in the palm of Su Zhen's hands.
