Chapter 91: Recalling the Statue and Visiting Huang Jian
Zhang Sui and Lao Lu watched Zhang Tian and others leave, then returned to the courtyard and sat down.
Lao Lu had a worried look on his face and looked to the southwest from time to time. Lao Lu asked Zhang Sui, "Second Master, do you know what the situation is in the southwest?"
Zhang Sui shook his head and said: "Shopkeeper Liu from Jiannan Road brought back news. He just said that there has been a drastic change, but the specific situation is still unknown. Sister Fu didn't know much about the situation through the Ministry of War."
Lao Lu sighed and said: "I wonder what happened to some of the old guys over there? After a group of us were disarmed, I invited those guys who had no children to settle in Kunzhou, but there were only a few of them.
Come with me.
The others have stayed in the southwest border, saying that they will defend the country in life and defend the border after death. Damn, in this situation, I don’t know if they are still alive!"
As Lao Lu talked, he became excited and couldn't help shouting.
Zhang Sui watched Lao Lu venting his worries from the side. After he calmed down, he said: "You don't have to worry too much. Since your old friends can survive so much with you, I believe they are all old friends."
, the situation is not right, you can’t do it, you still don’t know how to hide?”
Hearing this, Lao Lu looked at Zhang Sui sideways and said: "Second Master, what you said is that I can spare my life and come back to serve you, just because I can hide and escape? I was killed by a mountain of corpses and a sea of blood. Don't think that
What kind of practitioner have you become now that you can slander me?"
Zhang Sui stepped forward and put his arms around Lao Lu's shoulders, and said with an apologetic smile: "How could it be? What I am saying is that you veterans can assess the situation. How many of the veterans who have experienced the war and survived are simple people? Just like you, Lao Lu, if
If I hadn't checked your body, how could I have discovered that you are extraordinary?"
As he spoke, he looked at Lao Lu with a smile. Hearing this, Lao Lu looked at Zhang Sui, who was holding his shoulders, with some surprise, and said, "It seems that the second master's medical skills are not simple."
In fact, when Zhang Sui first obtained the medical skills to check Lao Lu's injuries, he discovered that there was something strange about Lao Lu's body. Although some old injuries had not healed, Lao Lu's physical fitness and vitality were very inconsistent with his age.
In addition, I later met Youde and others. Although these cultivated people laughed and cursed when they saw Lao Lu, they could still vaguely feel their respect for Lao Lu. What's more, in terms of reputation, Lao Lu was the most cultivated among them.
Compared with You De, it can be imagined that Lao Lu is not a simple person.
Zhang Suidao said: "It's far away in the southwest, and you can't worry about it. Why don't you take care of your own business first? Have you arranged the banquet for two days? This is a big deal for you."
Lao Lu's mood completely calmed down. Hearing Zhang Sui's words, he said: "What the second master said makes sense. It's beyond our reach to worry about it now. You De and the guys should have channels to understand the situation. I'll ask him about it then."
My own affairs have been arranged, and the second master will give me some face when the time comes!"
Zhang Sui patted his chest and said, "That's necessary! I will definitely give you a generous gift!"
Lao Lu smiled and said: "There is no need for generous gifts. As long as the second young master takes more care of my unborn child in the future, I will be very grateful."
Zhang Sui had an idea and said, "What do you think if you don't want your child to ask me to be his godfather?"
Lao Lu's face darkened and he cursed: "Not very good! Although I am not very old, I am the same generation as your grandfather. If you ask my boy to call you godfather, you are going crazy!"
After Zhang Sui heard this, he realized that although Lao Lu's family was not a member of the Zhang family, they had been working in the Zhang family for several generations, and they had a deep friendship. In terms of seniority, Lao Lu was indeed the same generation as Zhang Sui's grandfather.
Zhang Sui smiled and hugged Lao Lu's shoulders tightly, and said: "Haha, I just said, if you don't want to, forget it." Zhang Sui then thought about it and said, "If you think about it this way, wouldn't I have to call Fang Xiong uncle in the future?
"
Lao Lu smiled and said, "What do you think?"
Zhang Sui pushed away and said: "Forget it, let's do our own thing. I'll go out in the afternoon and buy something for your future little one. Will Youde come over the next day?"
Lao Lu nodded and said: "I will come over. I heard that their little leader will also come over. I haven't seen that unreliable boy for many years. I wonder what he is like now?"
Hearing this, Zhang Sui nodded and said, "I guess I came to ask Mr. Meng for help for the religious classics. Do you know their leader?"
Lao Lu smiled and said: "That boy's name is Du Teng, but when we watched him grow up, he was only five or six years older than you. He grew up hanging out in the military camp.
At that time, I didn’t know that he was the leader of the Nanli Cult. It wasn’t until we, a group of old guys, disbanded and returned home that he invited us to join the Nanli Cult. I missed my family and didn’t agree. Many others joined in, and youde’s guardian
I heard that the position was awarded to him after the boy lost a bet."
Zhang Sui thought of the dozens of protectors in the Nanli Sect, and secretly complained: "Stomachache? Isn't that how these protector positions came to be? It's indeed a bit unreliable!"
Zhang Sui nodded and said: "When the time comes, please introduce him to me so that I can get to know you."
Lao Lu nodded and said, "That's easy to say."
Just as he was talking, Aunt Liu came over with a girl of fifteen or sixteen years old and invited the two of them to come over for dinner.
This girl is a distant relative of Lao Lu's family. Since Zhang Sui last asked not to overwork Aunt Liu, Lao Lu asked someone to call her over to help Aunt Liu.
This girl's name is Xi Rou. She has the appearance of Xiaojiabiyu, a shy personality, and her cheeks turn red when she talks to people, but she does things neatly and conscientiously. Aunt Liu is very fond of her. She has met with Lao Lu several times.
It was revealed that he wanted to match her up with Fang Xiong, but Lao Lu didn't express his position, so he gave up, but his love for Xi Rou remained undiminished.
Xi Rou was a little afraid of Zhang Sui and Fang Xiong. Zhang Sui probably had a bad reputation. As for Fang Xiong, he was simply too tall and rough.
Zhang Sui didn't care. After lunch, he took Fang Xiong out of the house.
After getting out of the house, Zhang Sui thought for a while and decided to go find Mr. Huang. He asked him to help collect things. After such a long time, he didn't know how the collection was going.
Zhang Sui remembered the Huang family antique store where he went to pick up the statue last time. If he had collected it, he should have put it there.
Zhang Sui and Fang Xiong gave orders, and Fang Xiong drove the carriage towards the antique shop.
Within a moment or so, the carriage stopped in front of the antique shop.
Zhang Sui got out of the car, holding the folding fan presented by Fu Yun, looking like a dandy, and took Fang Xiong directly through the door.
The shopkeeper in charge of the shop was very impressed by Zhang Sui and knew that he had a special relationship with his second young master. When he came in, he quickly greeted him with a smile on his face and said with a smile: "Young Master Zhang comes to our shop, Peng Pi is very happy."
Hui!"
Zhang Sui shook off the folding fan and asked directly: "I entrusted Mr. Huang to help collect some things. After taking so long, I wonder if I have gained anything?"
The shopkeeper welcomed Zhang Sui and Zhang Sui into the inner room, waited for them to sit down, and served them tea. He said: "Master Zhang's instructions, Mr. Huang and us have mentioned it many times. In the past three months, we have collected a lot of things you want."
something.”
Zhang Sui heard this and said happily: "Oh, that's a good thing. Thank you all for your trouble! I wonder when you can give it to me and let me take it back to the house?"
The shopkeeper looked a little embarrassed and said: "Everything is in the warehouse now, but our second master is not here now. If we want to open the warehouse, we still need the second master's approval."
Zhang Sui asked: "Where is Mr. Huang now?"
The shopkeeper said: "Today we should be at the seafood shop. If the young master is not too anxious, you can sit here for a while. I will order someone to inform the second master and ask him to come over here."
Zhang Sui stood up directly and said: "No need, I'll go directly to him. I can just see how the things collected by the seafood store are doing."
The shopkeeper quickly stood up to see him off and said, "Then I'll have to trouble Mr. Zhang to move to the shop over there."
Zhang Sui nodded, put away the folding fan in his hand, and said: "It doesn't matter, I have to go there anyway. I'll come back later to bother the shopkeeper."
The shopkeeper kept saying: "It should, it should."
After sending Zhang Sui out and getting on the carriage, he returned to the store and secretly breathed a sigh of relief. The former ghost was so polite now that it really made people's hearts tremble.
When Zhang Sui and Zhang Sui arrived at the Huang family's seafood shop, they were just in time to unload and hand over the goods. The door was very busy. Before they got close, they heard Huang Jian's high-pitched voice yelling: "What's going on with your Chen family?"
"This month's goods have been reduced by another 20%. If this continues, are we not going to do business here?" As he said this, he was waving a strip of sea food in his hand.
An old man in his fifties explained with a wry smile: "Second Master, it's not that we don't want to sell to you. It's just that the harvest of sea goods has been limited in the past few months, and we have to take into account some other old customers, so we have no choice but to reduce the number of customers.
Once this period of time passes, we will make up for the previous share, what do you think?"
Huang Jian was still a little dissatisfied and complained: "You have been saying this in the past few months, how can I believe it? You still don't understand what caused this situation."
The old man smiled bitterly and said: "Well, you may not believe me, but it is extremely risky to go into the sea now. Starting from three months ago, the sea conditions in the entire sea area are unpredictable. Even the most experienced sea watchers cannot judge the sea conditions. We Chen
Our fleet has suffered heavy losses in the past three months."
At this point, he hesitated and whispered: "Last month there was even a sea monster attack. When two fishing boats were brought back by the ocean current, half of the entire hull was bitten off by something. Except for the blood stains on one boat, the crew
No one will survive.
After we reported to the Binhai Navy, the Navy asked us to suspend entering the sea until they deal with it. Now no ship in the entire Chaozhou Prefecture dares to go to the sea! Do you think we can continue to ship this sea goods? "
After Huang Jian heard this, he didn't feel like saying anything more, but he was still a little dissatisfied. He cursed a few times and waved the old man away.
Zhang Sui stuck his head out from the carriage and said hello: "Brother Huang, you're welcome and safe!"
When Huang Jian heard the news, he saw that it was Zhang Sui. He threw the object in his hand to the boy aside and ordered: "Put away this top-quality sea dog root. I want to give it to a friend!"
He turned to look at Zhang Sui and said happily: "It turns out to be Brother Zhang, you are finally back. We have been gone for three months, but we see you today, and you look even better than before!"
Zhang Sui jumped off the carriage and came closer. Looking at Huang Jian's face, his heart moved.
Not seen for several months, Huang Jian seemed to be in excellent spirits, but his expression was extremely wrong.
Even if a kid from an aristocratic family like Huang Jian is addicted to drinking and sex, there will definitely be someone around him to remind him not to be unrestrained.
But at this time, Huang Jian seemed to be thin, with a flushed face and dark circles under his eyes, but he was extremely energetic. Even if Zhang Sui did not use medical techniques, it could be seen that something was wrong with him.
Huang Jian held the folding fan in his hand, still looking like a coquettish guy, and seemed not to notice anything strange about him.
Zhang Sui came closer and asked with some surprise: "Brother Huang, do you live in the flower shop all day? Why are you so haggard?"
Huang Jian laughed and said: "How dare I? If that were the case, I would have broken several of my legs. I don't know why. It started like this a month ago. I visited famous doctors in the city and couldn't find anything.
So, I was more energetic, so I didn’t pay too much attention to it.”
Zhang Sui frowned and said: "With your appearance, a person can tell that something is wrong. If there are no Sleeping Flowers and Willows, then the problem will be even greater."
Huang Jian also stopped shaking the folding fan. Looking at Zhang Sui's serious expression, he was a little unsure. He knew that Zhang Sui was not an ordinary person, and he also heard that the master of the palace was rescued by Zhang Sui. Now Zhang Sui said this,
He was also a little panicked.
Zhang Sui signaled: "Let's go in and talk."
Huang Jian nodded repeatedly, put away the folding fan, and directly called the shopkeeper of the seafood shop: "Prepare a private room for me. Mr. Zhang and I have something to discuss."
The shopkeeper immediately ordered other people in the store to watch the unloading of goods. He personally led Huang Jian and Zhang Sui into a quiet courtyard behind the store, pointed to a room and said: "Second Master, this wing was just packed yesterday.
There are all the items inside, do you think it’s okay?”
Huang Jian looked at Zhang Sui, who nodded.
Huang Jian waved his hand and said, "Okay, go ahead and do your work first, don't let anyone come and disturb you."
The shopkeeper nodded, saluted, and exited the courtyard.
Huang Jian looked at Zhang Sui with an anxious look on his face and said: "Brother Zhang, I know you are not an ordinary person. I would like to ask my brother to help me with this situation. If necessary, I will definitely do it."
Zhang Sui comforted him: "Brother Huang, don't panic. I'll take a look and talk about it later."
After saying that, he pointed a finger at Huang Jian's forehead, and the medicine technique was activated.
Huang Jian's body information immediately appeared in Zhang Sui's mind.
The information shows that Huang Jian's body is not seriously injured. The main reason is that the soul is overused, which causes the essence and blood in the body to continue to be consumed, but it is not replenished correctly, which consumes the body's essence and causes the current situation. As for the mental excitement, it is because
It is caused by the continuous use of the soul and the tempering of its spirit.
However, the essence and blood in the mortal body is limited. If the soul continues to use it without restraint, the final result will be that the essence and blood in the body will be exhausted. When the spirit is the most excited and awake, the body will collapse and then the soul will be scattered!
The plan given by the art of medicine is to find out the culprit that caused the use of the soul, and then combine it with medicine to make up for the body's lost origin, and treatment will not be a problem.
Moreover, there are many benefits after treatment, because the spirit is tempered, and it is easier to feel the existence of the power of the pure spirit. If you have the appropriate cultivation skills, you can easily enter the Tao.
Zhang Sui opened his eyes, and Huang Jian looked at him nervously and asked, "How are you, Brother Zhang? Can you save me?"
Zhang Sui smiled when he heard this and said: "Brother Huang, don't worry, I already understand your physical condition. There will be no problem in solving it with my ability."
Huang Jian breathed a sigh of relief when he heard this, held Zhang Sui's hand tightly and said, "It's up to you, Brother Zhang!"
Zhang Sui silently took out his hands, but he remembered that Huang Jian had never washed his hands.
