Servant of the Otherworldly Pharmacopoeia
Chapter 36 Coaxing
On the cramped roofs of the slums, Ah Chong cleverly jumped in front of the man with the scar: "Boss, the plan has failed."
There was a noisy crowd below, and all the people involved in the brawl were taken away by the manor guards in armor, not even their bodies were left behind.The fast-legged leopard was also taken away. Ah Chong thought that the boss would be furious, but the boss was just thinking, pointing at the unconscious person, and asked, "Is that person Xiao Shu's witch doctor?"
Ah Chong scratched his head, and quietly motioned for Xiao Shu behind him to come over.
Xiao Shu looked at the man who was taken away, nodded: "Yes."
The boss suddenly turned around, his eyes were burning like a torch: "Are you sure you read it right?"
Xiao Shu didn't know what he meant, and under the pressure of the man, he was too scared to make a sound.
"Forget it, wait for the Leopard to come back, let him continue to sell meat, don't contact him if there is nothing to do. As for the witch doctor - I will contact him myself." The man jumped off the roof while talking, "Tianyong's site is temporarily Don't move, you must let your subordinates not cause trouble in the near future, if there is trouble, let alone the manor guards, I will not spare him!"
"Yes, big brother!" Ah Chong and Xiao Shu replied together.
Before the voice fell, the man had disappeared, Ah Chong and Xiao Shu looked at each other, and they both disappeared.
The man with the scar returned to his stronghold, which was a breeding shed with light leaking from the roof and he couldn't move his body. He took out the old clothes pressed on the stone and put them on to cover the scar across his shoulder, and wiped the graphite on his face. His eyebrows faded, his facial features became more prominent, and he lost his fierceness. Instead, he resembled the images of civilians that can be seen everywhere in the mainland, loyal, honest, and weather-beaten.
There is nothing special about such an ordinary face, so others may not care at all.The man took out a broken copper mirror and looked at it casually, then threw it back to its original place, with a strange excitement on his face—long time no see, Jiu.You became a witch doctor?
Speaking of Xu Jiu recuperating in the manor, he was a little apprehensive at the beginning. He was just an animal breeder hired by the manor, not even a staff member of the manor, and the housekeeper allowed him to recuperate in such a grand room.
The walls of the house are polished with raw stone, with a slight purple color.Xu Jiu couldn't recognize the raw material, but thought it looked good.The stone exudes cool air, which is as cool as a natural air conditioner.The people here use stones to the extreme, like the blue lake that Xu Jiu saw last time, and the giant trees under the black pagoda are all carved from precious stones and jade. Things that are obviously beautiful and extravagant to the extreme are commonplace here. It seems that it is just a rare building material.
The tables, beds, teacups, and wall lamps are all carved from jade, and the color is clear and watery. Even if he doesn't know how to appreciate it, Xu Jiu knows that in his previous life, it would be a rare treasure that everyone would rush to buy.
Holding a small imperial green teapot in his hand, Xu Jiu sighed contentedly while drinking water.
Du Tuxuan and the butler stood outside the door together, watching Xu Jiu coveting the things in the house like a miser.
Du Tuxuan looked at the butler, hooked the corners of his mouth, and pushed the wheelchair away by himself.The butler watched his master disappear and pushed Xu Jiu's door open.
Hearing the movement, Xu Jiu hastily put down the teapot in his hand, and greeted energetically: "Brother butler!"
The butler nodded and looked at the kid in front of him: "How is your injury?"
"It's much better!" Xu Jiu gestured, "I used to feel pain in my heart and lungs, as if a big stone was crushed. It was heavy, but now it's much lighter."
"Well, that's because you're approaching adulthood."
"Really?" Because of the feeling of heavyness after rebirth, Xu Jiu thought that his body was always like this, so it seems that it is because of adulthood. "I'm fine now?"
The butler nodded, and the old man's body was straight: "You fell ill during the fight. Fortunately, the treatment was timely, and the young man will be fine."
"Ah, it turned out to be like this." Xu Jiu recalled the piercing pain at that time. For a while, he couldn't tell which was the wound pain and which was caused by the disease, but the feeling of the soul coming out of his body was particularly clear, and he nodded with lingering fear, "Thank you sir housekeeper!"
"You should thank your lord." The big butler said sternly, without any appreciation, "My lord gave you the best medicine for wounds and adulthood, and ordered the kitchen to cook for you alone. You can't survive without your lord."
Xu Jiu was very grateful, and nodded like a chicken pecking at rice: "Yeah, thank you sir, thank you very much for taking care of the little one in your busy schedule. You are such a good person!"
The butler remembered the immobile expression on the adult when he strangled the perpetrator, and glanced at Xu Jiu. Before Xu Jiu could get what he meant, the butler continued: "Although the lord is kind, he is not a philanthropist. You caused trouble yourself, although the adults saved you, there is no reason to pay you for medical treatment."
Are you talking about medical expenses?Xu Jiu worried: "How much is the medical fee?"
"Five silver coins."
"What!" Xu Jiu sat up suddenly, his eyes widened, "Five silver coins!"
"Five silver coins. The wound medicine you use is prepared by the secret recipe inherited by the witch doctor. It is different from ordinary wound medicine. One silver coin is one box, and you used four boxes. The adult medicine is also the best, and one silver coin is one. Only nobles can enjoy it."
But I'm not an aristocrat, motherfucker!
I don't mind using cheap medicine!It doesn't matter if a big man leaves a few scars!
Facing sky-high medical bills, Xu Jiu asked a thoughtful question: "If you sell me, can you afford it?"
The butler shook his head: "It only takes a dozen copper coins to buy a servant."
"Then what do you want to do?" Xu Jiu moved his body and looked up at the old butler, "Can I wipe off the medicine under my body and return it to the witch doctor?"
This question is obviously cheating, and the housekeeper didn't intend to answer at all: "What are your plans for the future?"
"What's the plan?"
"Such as leaving the territory?"
Xu Jiu shook his head: "Many people in our village have gone to distant places to search for mines, but I didn't make it because of my poor health."
The housekeeper nodded and was very satisfied with his answer: "I have a good affinity with Pangpang. He looks very much like the child who lived with me since childhood. I hope you can stay in the territory."
Xu Jiu's heart fluttered, and he had a bad premonition: "What do you mean, my lord?"
"I hope you can sign a master-servant contract with the manor and stay by your side forever."
"Master-servant contract?" Prostitution?
"A master-servant contract. My lord is a second-class nobleman, and my family is a first-class lord in the royal city. Signing a contract with my lord is something that others dream of. If you are not fat, you still don't have this blessing."
Xu Jiu opened his mouth: "What is a master-servant contract?"
"If you are not a servant, you have a master-servant contract. A person who signs a master-servant contract will only be loyal to one person in his life, and he will remain loyal until death." The head butler began to untie his collar, revealing his old and slack left shoulder in Xu Jiu's astonishment. There is a purple Fengpo flower printed on it, the flower has been deformed, but the color is still bright, "I made a master-servant contract with my lord when he was born, the servant of the master-servant contract is the most loyal guardian of the master, unless The master terminates the contract, otherwise he will advance and retreat with the master for the rest of his life, and if he has two hearts, he will be punished with the most severe punishment in the contract."
"..." Xu Jiu was quite frightened.
"If you only think about the adults and don't have the intention of harming others, then the punishment will not come to you. And from now on, you will be like me, in the noble territory, except for the adults, the hostess can't compare exist."
It sounded really good, Xu Jiu shook his head violently without thinking about it.
The housekeeper didn't expect this person to be so dishonest. He had been in power for a long time, and the coercion on his face was immediately revealed: "You don't want to?"
Xu Jiu shook his head firmly: "My lord, I'm just a poor boy in the countryside. My lifelong wish is to raise a fat man and grow up, and marry a girl to spend my whole life together."
The housekeeper took a sip of water: "Like your father and mother? Your father and mother earn four or five copper coins a year, and they have been saving medicine money for their future children since they got married. They have saved for 20 years, but only more than ten copper coins That's all, how confident are you that you can take care of Pang Pang?"
"I...I can..." Xu Jiu clenched his fists, "I will definitely make a good fat and give him the best!"
The butler squinted his eyes, he was very busy, and it was very rare to have the time to talk to Xu Jiu so much, since this person was so overwhelmed, the butler closed the teacup: "Fatty is born with a deficiency, if he doesn't like you..." Speaking of this , the housekeeper coughed with imperceptible jealousy, "If he didn't like you, how could it be your turn to sign a contract with the lord?"
Xu Jiu finally realized something was wrong: "What is Pangpang's identity?"
The butler looked at him deeply: "What do you think?"
Your illegitimate child?No, not the right age.Could it be the illegitimate son of the manor owner?Recalling the appearance of Pang Pang and the owner of the manor, Xu Jiu exploded in an instant. The more he thought about it, the more he felt that his guess was correct, and he asked hesitantly, "Pang Pang used to be from the manor?"
The butler gave him a look that counts your brain as useful, stood up and walked out the door: "Think about it carefully."
What are you thinking about, a master-servant contract?Want to get fat?Xu Jiu tossed and turned, and the wounds on his body gave him a sense of presence. He had to admire the butler's art of speaking. He explained everything clearly, but he seemed to explain nothing clearly. What is Pang Pang's identity?He had only met the owner of the manor once, but he had never seen such a dignified nobleman before. What was the reason for falling in love with him?
Xu Jiu sighed in the room, and the butler reported the situation to his master.
The man sat by the window: "He refused?"
The butler nodded miserably.
The man sneered, and his brows gathered together. He is a majestic lord, but he is not as good as a little baby who can't take care of himself?The more he thought about it, the angrier he became, his dark and colorful eyes exuded a cold air, and the armrest of the wheelchair was squeezed by him: "I don't know how to praise!"
Xu Jiu sneezed.
There was a noisy crowd below, and all the people involved in the brawl were taken away by the manor guards in armor, not even their bodies were left behind.The fast-legged leopard was also taken away. Ah Chong thought that the boss would be furious, but the boss was just thinking, pointing at the unconscious person, and asked, "Is that person Xiao Shu's witch doctor?"
