The fifth child was cute and fair, with a pair of big, bright eyes like black glass on her rosy cheeks.

Even though his current situation was pitiful, he had endured a day and a night of fear, had not eaten or slept well, and was still wearing the tattered outer robe that Elder Qu had casually wrapped around him to hide his identity.

It also couldn't hide his likable qualities.

At this moment, a series of names of detoxifying herbs came out of his mouth, which made the two people in the room marvel.

Lai San's eyes rolled around and he slapped his thigh, "Elder, I won't sell this child anymore! Otherwise, you should take the trouble to accept him as your disciple!"

His attitude changed so quickly because he had selfish motives.

Because he was poisoned, he had to obey Elder Qu.

But the child in front of me is different.

How old are you?

He can recite the medicinal herbs by heart, it seems he is gifted.

If he could really learn Elder Qu's skills, and then give him some benefits, and ask him to completely remove the poison, wouldn't it be easier than making a living under Elder Qu?

Seeing that the fifth child was smart and clever, Elder Qu also began to admire his talent.

In fact, he was also a prominent figure in the martial arts world back then. He had several disciples serving him in the pharmacy. His superb skills in both medicine and poison allowed him to live safely outside the martial arts world.

There is always fighting and killing in the underworld. When someone gets injured, someone needs medical treatment.

He shouldn't live too well.

If not...

Thinking of this, Elder Qu’s eyes dimmed.

A hero should not boast of his past bravery. Now he is forced to live in the ghost market, and the only person he can order around is Lai San, who is full of evil intentions.

Thinking this in his mind, Elder Qu asked Lao Wu a few questions.

From common medicinal herbs and diseases to the methods of decocting and preparing medicines.

Considering that the child in front of me is, after all, the test scope is not too remote.

The main purpose is to verify what Lao Wu said and see whether he really has a father who is a doctor.

Lao Wu answered fluently.

Some of the content that Elder Qu tested were what he learned from Dong Qing under the guidance of the palace physician, and some were his experience in making medicine in the other courtyard.

"Not bad."

Elder Qu nodded repeatedly, and his lifeless face now looked a little more rosy and lively.

"Kid, how old are you and what's your name?"

When he looked at Lao Wu, there was a kind look in his eyes for the first time.

"I will be six years old after the Chinese New Year! I don't have a name, and my family calls me Xiaowu." Laowu answered crisply.

Lai San smiled and said, "She's only six years old, that's really good."

Elder Qu asked curiously, "No name?"

As far as he knew, children from wealthy families had nicknames in addition to their full names, and some were even given names while in their mother's womb.

Lao Wu’s heart tightened.

He didn't know how to answer this question and looked confused.

He only knew that he couldn't reveal the eldest princess' mother.

Lai San tried to smooth things over: "Elder Qu, I'm afraid that this child is a treasure in the family and they are afraid that it will be difficult to raise him, so they didn't give him the money."

What he said is also a common thing among the people.

Elder Qu did not suspect anything, as he had the intention of accepting a disciple, he turned to ask Lao Wu about other things.

For example, how many people are there in the family, where they live, etc.

The fifth child knew that he couldn't say anything wrong, for fear of being exposed when asked again, so he told the truth that he had three older brothers and one older sister.

As for those who don't want to answer, they just say they can't remember or don't know.

Since he was young, Elder Qu did not suspect anything.

Seeing that Elder Qu was satisfied with him, Lai San said, "Elder Qu, why don't you ask him to come with me? We can get everything you want back in one go."

Elder Qu was still hesitant.

This moving medicine guide has legs. If it runs away, it will be a waste of time and effort, not to mention recruiting a disciple.

Seeing this, Lao Wu pretended to be scared and asked, "What is this place? What do you want me to do? What if I get lost?"

When Lai San heard this, he burst into laughter.

Elder Qu was stunned and suddenly felt that his concerns were unnecessary.

where is this place?

This is a ghost market!

He is a child, and if he really dares to run around, the consequences will be much worse than if he follows him.

Elder Qu hooked his finger at Lao Wu, called him over to him, and threatened him, "Let me tell you, this is a ghost market. The people outside are all transformed evil ghosts, and they eat people."

He lowered his voice more and more, and finally suddenly showed his black and yellow teeth: "Just like me."

Lao Wu stared at him steadily, without even moving his eyes, and he looked as if he was frightened silly.

The next moment, he burst into tears with a loud "wow".

Seeing that his goal was achieved, Elder Qu lay back on the bed with a loving expression on his face: "Be good and follow Lai San to get all the things back. When you come back, I will teach you a recipe that will make you taller."

In his opinion, this kid could enjoy immersing himself in piles of medicinal herbs and was obviously a genius who was obsessed with medicine.

Talented, and I like it.

For children like this, the sweetness of medicine is more practical than candy.

Besides, his place was very shabby and there was really no candy that could be used to entertain children.

Sure enough, Lao Wu's eyes lit up and he nodded repeatedly.

He breathed a sigh of relief in his heart.

Finally I can go out!

No matter where we are, or whether there are ghosts outside, being able to go out is better than staying in this small room.

If you want to escape, you must first familiarize yourself with the terrain.

Lai San led him out of the door and threatened him, "Boy, don't have any evil ideas. I tell you, once you enter the Ghost Market, you are the ghost of the Ghost Market. No one can get out of it intact!"

Lao Wu bit his lip, said nothing, and trembled with fear.

Lai San patted his shoulder with satisfaction, said hello to Elder Qu, grabbed Lao Wu's collar, and carried him out the door like a chicken.

The destination of the two was the territory that Elder Qu had run in the Ghost Market for many years.

Although Elder Qu had fallen to this point, he had a lot of skills and was soon accepted by the "Ghost Gate" in the Ghost Market and became an elder worshipped by the sect.

He set up a gang, and people who came to him would leave their information there: they might need treatment for an injury, or they might need poison for a special purpose.

Afterwards, Elder Qu would decide whether to take on the business based on the other party's requirements.

After going out, I followed Lai San in the dark corridor for about an incense stick of time, and suddenly the view in front of me became clear.

There were bright lights, lingering aromas, and music, with countless people surging under their feet.

Many people had hideous ghost masks on their faces.

Those who didn't bring it all looked strange and ferocious.

Each one placed outside can make children cry at night.

I also saw two or three charming ladies walking together, wearing revealing clothes, but no one dared to approach them to tease them, and everyone kept a distance from them.

A child of seven or eight years old was sitting on the shoulder of a dark-skinned Kunlun slave, stepping on the slave's shoulder with his bare feet.

What a strange world that is a country of its own.

Lao Wu stared with his eyes wide open, and saw that there were flowers blooming on everyone’s head and colorful light surrounding their feet.

"Don't look!"

Lai San slapped him hard.
