Turning around, Chu Yunli took Luo Zhaonan directly to the table next to the table, ordered the waiter to deliver the food, and listened to the chatter of the people next door with a teacup in hand.
"I can't find anyone. I heard that someone has gone to Luo Shengming's hometown to arrest his mother. If he runs away again, he can't even take his mother away, right?"
"I heard that he still has a wife and children at home. My mother doesn't want her anymore, so does she also want her son?"
"He doesn't have a son, but he does have a nephew..."
"You are so bold. You even dare to provoke the Chen family! You even beat people to serious injuries... You are going to fight until death!"
"The Chen family is famous for protecting their enemies. We must hunt him to the ends of the earth! Once we catch his relatives, I don't believe he won't come out!"
Hearing this, he knew that it was Luo Shengming who caused the big trouble, and he ran away afterwards. It seemed that the person he offended had a high status, and he wanted to go to his hometown to arrest him.
Luo Zhaonan's face turned pale, and he lowered his voice and asked, "Mom, are they talking about my father?"
"I don't know," Chu Yunli said casually, "Hurry up and eat. After you finish eating, I will take you to buy a yard. Let's settle down first."
Luo Zhaonan was a little nervous: "Aren't you going to Fushan?"
Now he is no longer in Fushan, but in Baiqu. Chu Yunli didn't take it seriously: "Your father is not here, let's celebrate the New Year first, and then we'll talk about it later."
Luo Zhaonan was about to speak but stopped.
Before going out, her mother confirmed in front of the villagers that she was just looking for her father. But along the way, she never worried about not being able to find anyone, nor did she look like she was looking for someone. Instead, she seemed...
I left home specifically to find a place to settle down.
Chu Yunli stayed here because in Qi Qiao's mother's memory, Luo Shengming lived in a village outside Bingzhou City for a long time after running away, and occasionally ran into the city to inquire about news. But she didn't know where he lived.
Then we can only sit back and wait, squatting in the city and waiting!
In today's world where martial arts is respected, the business of weapons and wound medicine is the best among the cities near Fushan. If Chu Yunli wanted to stay, of course he couldn't just sit back and wait for nothing, so after finding Ya Po, he immediately decided to buy a shop.
I spent a thousand taels to buy a small shop with a large yard at the back. I bought some things and finally settled down.
With the remaining silver, Chu Yunli bought some medicinal materials. The current medicinal materials are different from those in the past. Unless they are particularly rare or cannot be grown, common wound medicines have been specially cultivated by people. There is a medicinal material village outside Bingzhou City.
You can buy medicinal materials there.
With three hundred taels of silver, he opened a medical clinic.
Chu Yunli locked herself in the door for a few more days and tinkered with some pills. The most common ones were those to stop bleeding, treat internal injuries and old diseases, and to purify internal energy.
In fact, many people don't have the latter, but since it's close to Fushan, there should still be people who know the stuff.
A new shop has opened and business is good. Most of them come to buy medicine for wounds. Fights are very common in Bingzhou City.
Of course, with Fushan and Yamen here, this fight will not be fought casually. There is also a fighting platform in the city. When you get there, you can sign a life and death certificate and you can fight any way you want. If you are beaten to death, you can't settle the score with the other party.
Seeing Chu Yunli dispensing medicine, Luo Zhaonan was a little surprised: "So my mother learned medical skills from my grandfather?"
Hearing this, Chu Yunli was startled for a moment before she realized. The reason why Qi Qiaoniang's father and his children could still live a good life with their children was because Qi's father knew how to treat diseases, not only for people, but also for cows, pigs and even chickens.
The folks in the village don't charge for consultation and the medicine is cheap. Anyway, they give some random herbs. If they eat well, it means they are good at medicine. If they eat poorly, it means they are unlucky.
Just give him a few copper coins, if he is really ruined, who can come to him to settle the score?
Because it is cheap, many people are willing to find Qi's father. A little adds up, and everyone in the Qi family is fat and healthy, and no one wears old clothes anyway.
If not for this, the Luo family's marriage would not have fallen to Qi Qiaoniang.
Of course, no matter how rich the Qi family is, it is still the Qi family's business. After discovering that Luo Shengming did not often return to the village and did not go to the Qi family when he returned to the village, Qi Qiaoniang and Ding could no longer get money from the Qi family.
"I've learned a bit." Chu Yunli was grinding the medicine seriously, "Do you want to learn from me?"
"Yes!" The thing Luo Zhaonan has heard most since he was a child is: Our family does not raise idle people.
In the countryside, she could still do laundry, sweep and work in the fields, but here, she really felt like a useless person. For Luo Zhaonan, this feeling was very bad and unreliable.
She witnessed her mother rescuing people in exchange for money to buy this yard. If she could also save people, she would also be able to earn a lot of money, eat delicious meals and snacks, wear beautiful clothes, and wear beautiful jewelry.
You can also honor your mother.
Chu Yunli smiled: "Then you come over and crush the medicine."
Luo Zhaonan immediately took it and crushed it seriously.
Watching her working, Chu Yunli said softly: "I have inquired about it. There is a scholar on the street who is recruiting disciples. When the time comes, you should also learn to read."
Luo Zhaonan paused: "I am a girl..."
Chu Yunli interrupted her: "Bingzhou City does not distinguish this. That scholar also has female disciples. There are so many people coming and going on this street. You should be careful and nothing will happen. From now on, you will spend half a day reading and grinding medicine.
By the way, I also bought a book on swordsmanship. From now on, you can practice swordsmanship with me for half an hour every morning. I don’t want to be proficient, just keep fit."
Her tone was firm and she could not refuse.
The mother and daughter settled down for the time being. The pills made by Chu Yunli, after some people tried to buy them back for use at first, gradually became more and more popular. The best-selling pill was the scar removal ointment.
The pills and scar removal creams are not cheap, so I make a lot of money.
In the blink of an eye, it was the end of the twelfth lunar month, and Chu Yunli started to prepare New Year's goods. This year's winter was not too cold, but the weather in Bingzhou City would be cold for a month or two after the New Year.
On New Year's Day, it was just the mother and daughter, but Luo Zhaonan was particularly excited. Looking at the food on the table, he smiled and said: "Mom, it's so good!"
This is a girl who is easily satisfied. Chu Yunli also smiled: "Eat as much as you like."
Luo Zhaonan suddenly cried: "In the past, during the Chinese New Year, the meat at home was all from the grain, and I couldn't get any of it..."
"We will no longer eat at the same table with him from now on," Chu Yunli comforted: "Look, our shop is doing well, why bother looking for them again?"
On the first day of the Lunar New Year, Chu Yunli got up at dawn, put on his clothes and left the city, then rode out of the city.
Ten miles outside the city, she dismounted her horse and leaned against a tree with her arms folded, waiting.
It was still early, and the official road was almost empty. Not long after, some old green-covered carriages came quickly, and the driver sitting in front was Li Zhonghou.
Seeing Chu Yunli standing by the road, Li Zhonghou was so panicked. He was one of his saviors that day and they went into the Yang Mansion together. They never came out again. Firstly, the Yang Mansion was very considerate, and secondly, he was just afraid.
Encountered this evil star.
Today is the first day of the Lunar New Year, and most people would sleep in at home. He deliberately chose today to go out of the city to avoid this evil star. Unexpectedly, the evil star had already gotten the news and was waiting for him here!
This carriage cannot be stopped!
Thinking of this, Li Zhonghou whipped his horse whip vigorously, and the horse neighed, raised its hooves, and rushed out like an arrow from the string.
Chu Yunli threw a stone that he was playing with in his hand. The next moment, the horse fell to the ground. The carriage rolled twice before stopping. Li Zhonghou, who was driving the carriage, had already flown out and landed in the grass on the side.
She walked over slowly.
Li Zhonghou was lying in the grass like a dead dog. He didn't have serious injuries, but he knew that running was in vain. Even the horse couldn't escape, so why did he struggle?
Seeing the pink embroidered shoes approaching, he hurriedly said: "Auntie, I really know I was wrong!"
Chu Yunli asked coldly: "You said that when you walk in the world, you should fight against injustice. How many people have you bullied before?"
Li Zhonghou: "..."
"Not much, really! Where do you think I have the courage?"
Chu Yunli stepped hard on his chest and crushed him: "When you wanted to do something evil to me, I rented a carriage, and no one in that area dared to steal your business. You didn't bully anyone. Who would believe you?"
Take out the reward the Yang family gave you!"
Li Zhonghou: "..." Was he robbed?
He never thought that this day would come to him, but he didn't dare to stop holding his hand. He hurriedly took out a banknote from his chest and presented it to him. Chu Yunli reached out to take it, stepped on him twice, and finally landed on him.
From there, screams suddenly broke out.
Chu Yunli kicked her hard and said grimly: "If I hear that you bully others again, I will dig deep enough to find you! Until then, don't blame me for being ruthless!"
Li Zhonghou had already guessed that this day would come. He was not disabled at that time. He should be needed to drive a carriage, so he chose to go out of the city on the first day of the new year. Unexpectedly, he still couldn't avoid it.
But he didn't even dare to hate her. This woman looked cold and indifferent, and her face didn't change even when she moved her hands. Maybe she still had this look on her face after killing people, and she was not a normal woman at all!
Listening to the words, she seemed to be willing to let herself live, and hurriedly agreed: "Don't worry... I don't dare to... anymore..."
Chu Yunli sneered: "I'm not afraid to tell you, my ancestral home is there and I will go back often. You must keep your word!"
Li Zhonghou, who was on the ground, looked pale in pain and nodded hurriedly.
On the way back, Chu Yunli still rode a horse, a little more leisurely, walking leisurely with the horse. Along the way, he looked at the villages outside the official road, and he didn't know if Luo Shengming was there.
There were not many people on the street on the first day of junior high school, and the journey back home went smoothly. As soon as I tied up my horse, I heard someone knocking on the door outside.
Chu Yunli raised his voice and said, "I'll drive it."
Luo Zhaonan in the kitchen heard this and didn't think much about it.
On the first day of the new year, many shops are not open. That is to say, people like Chu Yunli who live in the shops will only open them when they hear the knock on the door.
Standing at the door was a man in his thirties, dressed in moon-white clothes and a dark cloak, with a suave appearance.
For Qi Qiaoniang, this man is very familiar to her, even if he turned into ashes, she would recognize him.
Just now I was wondering where Luo Shengming was, but unexpectedly he came to the door.
This is probably...a good start!
Chu Yunli's hands were itchy and she raised her eyebrows slightly: "What do you want?"
Luo Shengming, however, did not recognize the woman in front of him, and said with a serious face: "I heard that your scar removal cream is good, do you have it in stock?"
Didn’t recognize it?
"No!" Chu Yunli said seriously: "It's really a coincidence."
Luo Shengming frowned: "Don't they say they have a lot of inventory?"
"Indeed not." Chu Yunli smiled half-heartedly: "I can't change it yet, so you'd better wait a few more days!"
The voice sounded familiar to Luo Shengming. When he wanted to take a closer look at her face, he only saw a door panel coming quickly.
