[Three Kingdoms] After offending Wei Guoquan, I went to the peak of my life

Zheng Ping accepted it as soon as he saw it, put down the willow leaf on his lips, and re-reported the name and quantity of the herbal medicine he needed.

Xie Zhu took it down impatiently.After Zheng Ping finished speaking, he calculated his inventory and said that two of the herbal medicines could be given to Zheng Ping on the spot.As for the other two medicines, he didn't have that much quantity here, so he could only pay one-third in advance, and the rest would be given when the new ones were picked up next time.

Zheng Ping also knew that the other two herbs were extremely rare, and it was a surprise to get one-third of the quantity.So he had no objection, and after getting all the herbs he could get, he readily paid for the herbs, put all the herbs in the bamboo box he brought in advance, and carried them on his back.

Xie Zhu didn't check whether the number given by the other party was correct, he just wanted to send this plague god away as soon as possible.But when the two parties finished the delivery, seeing that Zheng Ping was still in the same place and hadn't left for a long time, Xie Zhu endured and endured, but in the end he couldn't bear the tumbling emotion. He clenched his fist in his sleeve and asked Zheng Ping:

"What else do you have?"

"Heng came all the way, with an empty stomach. It's time for dinner, since you and I have a business relationship, why don't you sit and have a drink?"

This is the first time that Xie Zhu met someone who dared to rub the rice with him, and said the behavior of the rice is so righteous, fresh and refined, he held his breath for a while, and couldn't reply a word.

Xie Zhu has been a drug dealer for many years since he left home, and he has met all kinds of people, including many people in the market.But no one acted out of common sense like the person in front of him, which made his head ache.

"There is only one sack of food and one scoop of drink in the family, which is only enough for one person."

The allusion of "tanshi, ladle and drink" comes from "The Analects of Confucius", which symbolizes the spirit of peace and happiness.

Xie Zhu used the literal meaning, which means that his family only has a small amount of simple food and soup, but he subconsciously uses the two words "tan food ladle drink", which is enough to see that he really calls himself a hermit, and has a different heart in his heart. ordinary people's ambitions.

This is basically consistent with the image of the drug seller analyzed by Zheng Pinglai through the collected information.It was also the reason why Xie Zhu changed his mind and was willing to sell the medicine to him because of his melody just now.

It's not because he plays badly, nor is it because the mood in the tune is too weird and absurd, but the image he presents at the beginning just hits Xie Zhu's vision and philosophy.

It is when this vision is broken by Zheng Ping in another absurd form, as if the way of hermit he has always adhered to is blocked by weird things, this is the most unacceptable thing for Xie Zhu, who has his own way and eccentric temper.

Xie Zhu didn't want to be disturbed by some inexplicable person. He was willing to take a step back, break the previous rules, and sell herbal medicine to the other party, but it didn't mean that he had surrendered to the other party and was willing to compromise in everything.

At least it's absolutely impossible to get a meal, and it's impossible anyway.He didn't beat up this weird medicine seeker and throw him out, it was already his generosity, how dare he let him treat him to dinner?What kind of meal is it that you dig a small amount of mud from the door and feed it to his mouth?

Zheng Ping could clearly feel Xie Zhu's firm attitude.He didn't make any other indications, just took out a small square box from his pocket, opened the lid and took out a herb from it, and looked at it carefully.

The moment Zheng Ping took out the herb, Xie Zhu rolled his eyes.The herb is called golden velvet, and while it's not as rare as the individual herbs in his inventory, it's extremely difficult to pick.Because it can only grow on the cliffs in the backlight, even if he is extremely skilled, he would not dare to take risks easily without knowing the location of the herb, and search for it from cliff to cliff.

Picking this medicine is not only dangerous, but also requires top luck.Xie Zhu had never picked golden velvet before, and one time he risked his life to find half of it, but the birds that built their nests on the cliff ate up the grass, which really made him regretful.

Because this is the only herbal medicine that the famous medicine seller can't pick, and the medicinal effect of golden velvet is precious, and it is an indispensable one in the prescription he wants to try. Therefore, after meeting Zheng Ping The moment he took out the golden velvet, Xie Zhu not only held his breath, but also used his strength to restrain his impulse, and did not rush to snatch the medicinal materials immediately.

When Zheng Ping took out the medicinal materials, Xie Zhu's eyes followed Zheng Ping's movements.

Zheng Ping's hand is facing east, his gaze is facing east; Zheng Ping's hand is facing west, his gaze is facing west.

Zheng Ping sniffed the herb close to the tip of his nose, Xie Zhu was also thinking about the smell of this herb; Zheng Ping brought the herb to his mouth, opened his mouth...

open mouth? ? ?

Xie Zhu took a deep breath, no longer caring about his reserve, whether he would be mistaken for a despicable drug snatcher, and grabbed Zheng Ping's hand that wanted to stuff the herbs into his mouth.

"Stop, don't you know how precious and rare this grass is?"

Zheng Ping's movements were not fast at all, and he didn't intend to avoid Xie Zhu at all. He let Xie Zhu restrain his wrist, and replied calmly: "Golden velvet can cure external wounds and internal poisons. It grows on cliffs, It grows in the back of the sun. Its stems and leaves are dry and crisp, and you will feel full when you eat it."

Xie Zhuben guessed that Zheng Ping was proficient in medicine, and now he heard him clearly explain all the characteristics of the golden velvet, and he was even more annoyed by his behavior just now.

"Since you know it, why do you want to eat it casually? Could it be that you are suffering from external trauma and internal poisoning?"

But even if it is the right medicine, the effect of eating it raw is extremely poor. It must be assisted by other herbs to bring out the properties of the medicine, boiled with warm fire, and soaked before drinking.

Regardless of whether he took the medicine to cure the symptoms or not, this practice of eating golden velvet raw is a kind of reckless waste, making it unbearable for Xie Zhu, who is proficient in pharmacology.

Zheng Ping was not as excited as he was.Just repeating a sentence just now.

"The stems and leaves are crisp, and you will feel full when you eat it."

Xie Zhu didn't react at first, but after thinking about it for a while, his eyes widened immediately.

Seeing that the other party understood what he meant, Zheng Ping continued: "I have been on the road for several days, and I am hungry. This grass can satisfy my hunger."

Xie Zhu hated his teeth itching.Although this golden velvet can satisfy one's hunger, how much hunger can such a small piece of golden velvet satisfy?He would not invite the man to stay for dinner, so the man ate gold velvet in front of him to fill his stomach.

As if seeing through his thoughts, Zheng Ping continued unhurriedly: "Talk is better than nothing."

Thank you for being even more angry.He never liked being threatened by others, but although Zheng Ping's actions annoyed him, it was not a coercion—because the golden velvet was not his Xie Zhu's property, Zheng Ping was free to deal with it as he wanted.

The other party's behavior was at best a coercion-style temptation, and he had no choice but to commit the crime because of his overt conspiracy.

Xie Zhupi smiled and said: "There is no need to use this to fill your stomach. I suddenly thought that there are bread left over from yesterday at home, which can be used to treat you. Although the golden velvet has the ability to feed the hunger, it has a small amount of poison. It’s better not to eat it.”

Zheng Ping said calmly under the murderous eyes of the other party: "Then respect is worse than obedience."

Xie Zhu held his breath and led Zheng Ping into his home.He did not mention to Zheng Ping about the purchase of gold velvet.Instead, let him sit on a simple couch in the room and go to buy food.

Xie Zhu only took his own medicine box and left Zheng Ping in the house without any precautions.Except for those few medicinal herbs, his family was completely destitute and impoverished, and he was not afraid that Zheng Ping would have other plans.

Zheng Ping didn't look around or mess around with the things in the house, he just sat peacefully.He was still holding the willow leaves picked outside the door, and when he had nothing to do, he brought the willow leaves to his lips again and played music.

This time, what he played was not "Intimidation" which made Cao Jun's face change, nor was it "Lao Niu Bang Fart Song" which made Xie Zhu angry, but a down-to-earth, gentle and leisurely little song.

This song blows into people's hearts, as if it can calm all anxiety and uneasiness, and make all violence disappear in an instant.

After playing together, Zheng Ping saw a handsome and heroic young man standing outside the courtyard through the half-open door. The young man had been standing outside the door for an unknown how long.

Zheng Ping ignored the young man, he stood up, relieved the slight discomfort from sitting for a long time, went out, crushed the willow leaves into powder, and scattered them in the vegetable garden in the garden.

Seeing Zheng Ping coming out, the young man finally recovered from the music.He watched Zhengping's every move, and when he spread the powdered willow leaves in the vegetable garden, the young man frowned slightly.

He walked to the courtyard door, knocked on the courtyard door regularly, and said his greetings.

Zheng Ping heard that he was looking for a drug dealer, so he replied indifferently.

"Thank you for not being here."

The young man didn't seem to believe it.He also heard about Xie Zhu's eccentricities, and knew that the drug seller had a weird temper and didn't like other people staying in his house.There was only one person in this courtyard, and his appearance, temperament and temper were all in line with the legendary drug seller, so the young man just pretended that he was not there, and his words were more sincere.

"Yu came here today not only to ask for medicine, but also to talk to you about important matters."

Zheng Ping did not appear in front of people during the Battle of Chibi. Except for Huang Gai who was forcibly drawn to him by Cao Cao, Zheng Ping had not seen anyone else in Jiangdong.Hearing the young man call himself Yu at this moment, the first thing that Zheng Ping thought of was Zhou Yu from Jiangdong.

Seeing that the other party seemed to believe that he was a drug dealer, Zheng Ping did not deny it again, but asked calmly, "Is it important?"

Zhou Yu bowed very politely: "Can we go in and talk about it?"

Zheng Ping said: "This is not my residence, and I have no right to decide your entry and exit."

Zhou Yu regarded his strange temper again, didn't care, and continued to persuade him with kind words.After a while, he mentioned the "important things" mentioned earlier.

"If you are a great talent, if you always stay here and do business all day long, it will be a pity."

Only then did Zheng Ping realize that the important thing Zhou Yu said was to come and attract talents, and he waved his hands boredly: "Everyone has his own aspirations. If he wants to, he should be an official. If he doesn't want to, why bother to force it."

Zhou Yu smiled bitterly, "Heaven is not what people want, why can't we force it?"
