The cloth shop owner felt that he seemed to have accidentally discovered a shocking truth.
Moreover, this is very likely to be an opportunity for him to rise to the top and soar into the sky!
Just when the owner of the cloth shop was shaking with excitement, the gray-robed Taoist priest came over with the clothes he had chosen, and knocked hard on the counter: "Hey, boss, are you still in business? I..." he said It stops abruptly halfway through.
The gray-robed Taoist stared at the cloth shop owner who jumped up from his chair on the spot as if he had seen a ghost, and frowned and asked, "No, what are you doing?"
"Yes, I had a nightmare."
The owner of the cloth shop wiped the cold sweat from his brow, glanced absently at the clothes he brought, and said perfunctorily, "Thirty dollars."
"Thirty coins? Why don't you grab it!" the gray-robed Taoist yelled, "It's too expensive, let's get it cheaper!"
"Let's see." The cloth shop owner was not in the mood to argue with him, and said perfunctorily.
The gray-robed Taoist looked at him suspiciously, and tentatively quoted a price: "Then...five dollars?"
As soon as the words came out, even the little boy looked at his master in shock: This bargain, isn't it too hard?
But the owner of the cloth shop agreed immediately: "Okay, okay, I can give you away for nothing, hurry up, I'm going to close the shop!"
"What? Are you serious? I..." The gray-robed Taoist priest wanted to say something else, but the cloth shop owner turned out from behind the counter impatiently, pushing and shoving them out.
He quickly closed the store door and hung a sign saying "Closed Today" on the door. When there was no one in the store, he immediately went home to find his wife to discuss.Hearing Lin Xiaodong's true identity, the cloth shop owner's wife was skeptical: "Are you sure what the Taoist said is true? Don't be hysterical."
"I think it's true in all likelihood," the cloth store owner swore, "Leaving aside the fact that she had a vixenous appearance, how did that surnamed Zhao fall from power not long ago? Have you forgotten? I I've heard people say that he is half a lunatic now, and he mutters "impossible, impossible" in prison every day. The plan that our partners came up with should have been perfect. If it wasn't for black magic, why did that The woman disappears into the room out of thin air?"
Hearing what he said, the cloth shop owner's wife also became afraid: "Then what should we do, should we report to the police? But what if she comes to revenge on us in the middle of the night?"
"This..." The cloth shop owner was also a little scared, but he quickly thought of an idea, "By the way, as long as we spread the news, more people will know, isn't it all right?"
"What do you mean?" asked the wife, puzzled.
"The law does not blame the public. When everyone in the town finds out, the Gu family can't silence all the people in a town, right?" The cloth shop owner said excitedly, "But they must not know that the rumor is true. The first one to report to the official will definitely win the prize!"
The wife suddenly realized, and praised again and again: "Good idea! Really good idea!"
The draper laughed triumphantly.
He is holding his wife in his arms, but he has already fantasized about his life surrounded by beautiful clothes and beauties after he becomes famous.
"Ah sneeze!"
Lin Xiaodong who was soaking in the hot spring suddenly sneezed.
"Have a cold?" Gu Xingzhai frowned, "It's been cold recently, so don't go to town."
"It's just a sneeze." Lin Xiaodong rubbed his nose and said helplessly, "Besides, you also know that the weather is cold, and there must be more sick people. I am a doctor, so if I don't treat them, do I want these poor people to survive this winter by themselves? ?"
Gu Xingzhai lowered his eyes and remained silent.
After a while, he sighed softly: "It would be great if all the monsters in the world were like you."
"That's impossible, I'm the only one." Lin Xiaodong snorted, not without complacency.He used the skill of [One-click Dress Up] to transform himself into the appearance of a little mermaid in the previous world, swimming freely in the hot springs. Although Gu Xingzhai was amazed at the beautiful silver tail, he only regarded it as this. It is Yaomei's natural ability, so she didn't suspect it.
System: "You are breaking the rules."
Lin Xiaodong: "Put it down, he didn't notice anything wrong. And what about the matter about Gu Xi I asked you to check before? So many points have been spent, at least you have to listen to it."
"Don't worry about this," the system said, "When I leave this world, I will seize the point where the data flow in the headquarters is the most concentrated and decipher it. This is also the only chance to not be discovered by those programmers."
Lin Xiaodong asked curiously: "I keep hearing you mention programmers, why, is your headquarters still recruiting externally? Could it be possible to set up a stall in the universe talent market?"
"Our programmers are all from the high-level plane," the system said proudly, "that is, what you call heaven. It's hard to find a job these days, and even the guards of the Nantianmen have jumped to work as security guards at the headquarters. I heard from them that I Its core program was still a beast in its previous life."
Lin Xiaodong: "..."
Long experience.
After December, the weather immediately becomes unbearable.
Heavy snow fell one after another, and overnight, the streets were covered with silver, as beautiful as the glazed world described by a painter.
However, for the people living here, it is not so easy.
Because in this era without air conditioning or heating, even large families can only rely on burning charcoal for heating.
On the days when he didn't go to the town, Lin Xiaodong basically stayed in bed all day long, shivering with the cold wrapped tightly in the quilt, or slipped into someone's bed in the middle of the night, hugging a large humanoid heater to keep warm.
Gu Xingzhai has practiced martial arts all year round, and his body temperature is higher than that of ordinary people. Lin Xiaodong can't wait to tie him on his belt and carry him wherever he goes.
"Don't go to the town for the next few days." Gu Xingzhai sat in front of the charcoal stove when Lin Xiaodong came back from the free clinic again, and brought up this matter again.
He massaged the young man's purple feet with his hands little by little, and said in a gloomy voice, "In the years you haven't come, Qingxie Town has come here every winter like this, don't think of them as too delicate .”
"I know," Lin Xiaodong held the thermos in his hand, sniffed, "I'm not going."
Before, he just thought about whether he could collect a good person card during the free clinic, but now it seems that he is thinking too much.
Gu Xingzhai was taken aback for a moment, probably because he didn't expect Lin Xiaodong to really agree.He raised his head and asked, "Are you really not going?"
"Ah."
Lin Xiaodong thought in his heart that he couldn't really like the people in this place. Although there were some simple people like Wang Er, most of them were white-eyed wolves who felt that no matter how much they paid, they felt that they deserved it and were ungrateful.
He is obviously not the only doctor in Qingxie Town, but because he doesn't charge money for seeing a doctor, those people come to him for any kind of headache or fever.Just this month alone, there are no less than a hundred people who were not sick and pretended to be sick who were spotted by him on the spot.
Lin Xiaodong saw all these things.
He wondered, did those people really think that he was just a silly and sweet rich lady?
He said thanks on his lips, and secretly laughed at him for being stupid, but he didn't know who the really stupid person was.
In the current town, including several surrounding villages and towns, apart from the private doctors raised by the wealthy households, there are no doctors who are willing to treat the poor.Once Lin Xiaodong leaves, if he wants to get medical treatment, he can only travel hundreds of miles to the nearest city to see a doctor. Not to mention whether the patient can survive the long distance, even if he really arrives in a big city, the cost of seeing a doctor is not "breaking the family". One word can solve it easily.
"I figured it out, it's not good to eat and drink at home, I have to go to that dirty and cold place to find trouble." Lin Xiaodong smiled, "Shall we have hot pot tonight?"
After carefully observing the expression on his face, Gu Xingzhai found that the young man was indeed serious, and he didn't seem to have heard the recent gossip in the town, so he couldn't help secretly heaving a sigh of relief.
"Okay," he said, "I'll get someone to prepare it now."
He didn't know where the news leaked from, who was the original source, but Gu Xingzhai had already keenly sensed that the direction of the wind was wrong.The man had already prepared for the worst - at worst, he set fire to the mansion and took Lin Xiaodong to wander around the world.
Anyway, this place is not the root of their Gu family, even if it burns, it's no big deal.
However, Gu Xingzhai thought coldly, no matter what, he would not easily spare the person who was behind the scenes.
"What did you say?" When he heard the report from the servants, Master Huang almost thought he was hallucinating, "Say it again, who is here?"
"It's really the one in the capital, sir! If the little one deceives you, there will be a thunderbolt!" The servant was also so excited that he was shaking his head, "He, he, he is waiting for you at the door!"
Master Huang gasped, and immediately went out to greet him with his gown in hand.Before going out, he lowered his head and spat twice into his palms with a "Bah" "Bah" and smoothed his hair evenly against the glass window, then he trotted out the door with a flustered look: "Master Xie If you come from afar, you will be greeted from afar, and you deserve death for a small crime!"
The man in an official robe at the door turned around upon hearing this, revealing a pale, beardless, feminine and solemn face.
It turned out that this "Master Xie" was actually a eunuch!
"Forget about the polite words," he waved his hand impatiently, staring at Mr. Huang, who was smiling but nervous and sweating, and said, "I heard that in the nearby town of Qingxie, there is a man surnamed Lin. pretty Woman?"
"Yes, yes," Master Huang was taken aback, thinking that this dead eunuch must have taken a fancy to Lin Xiaodong, "Ms. Lin is indeed a famous person here, she is kind-hearted, I don't know... Mr. Xie What are you looking for with her?"
"I heard some rumors," the head eunuch snorted coldly. He has been looking for the law of longevity for the above man for decades. Check, what is going on, if the rumor is true, report it to me immediately without any delay, do you hear me?"
Facing Mr. Xie's gloomy gaze, cold sweat trickled down Mr. Huang's forehead: "Yes... yes, don't worry, I will do my best!"
After sending him off to get to know the manager, Mr. Huang's deeply bowed waist slowly straightened up.
"Master, what shall we do?"
The servant at the side asked fearfully, this carelessness is the crime of beheading!
Master Huang's expression alternated between green and white.Although he is lecherous, he is a person who cherishes love and cherishes love, because the matter of the prom also has a good impression on Lin Xiaodong, but this time the matter is related to the wealth and lives of his whole family, so it cannot be ambiguous...
"Wait." He squeezed out a word between his teeth.
"Wait?"
"Yes," murmured Mr. Huang, who had been in the officialdom for decades, "It is impossible for Director Xie to come here in person just because of a rumour, so after all, he just dropped by, and there are other more important things waiting He handles it. Coincidentally, he is also a eunuch, and he will not be interested in any beautiful woman. If this rumor is just a rumor, then I will report that it is just a villager's nonsense after a while; but if this Things continue to ferment..."
He shook his head, sighed, and stopped talking.
Moreover, this is very likely to be an opportunity for him to rise to the top and soar into the sky!
Just when the owner of the cloth shop was shaking with excitement, the gray-robed Taoist priest came over with the clothes he had chosen, and knocked hard on the counter: "Hey, boss, are you still in business? I..." he said It stops abruptly halfway through.

The owner of the cloth shop wiped the cold sweat from his brow, glanced absently at the clothes he brought, and said perfunctorily, "Thirty dollars."
"Thirty coins? Why don't you grab it!" the gray-robed Taoist yelled, "It's too expensive, let's get it cheaper!"
"Let's see." The cloth shop owner was not in the mood to argue with him, and said perfunctorily.
The gray-robed Taoist looked at him suspiciously, and tentatively quoted a price: "Then...five dollars?"
