Chapter 82 The Beginning of Everything
Jiang Ming walked into Ping'an County, the streets were much busier than three years ago, with various shops, teahouses, workshops, cloth shops... There are also many vendors in the open space on the street, selling meals, bamboo wares, wild mushrooms...
After the war, the country of Yan seemed to be cured of its illness, and gradually revealed a scene of prosperity that was stronger than before. The emperor reduced taxes and built a large granary to help the people. Even the villagers in Ping'an County had a much better life.
"It's nothing more than a late remedy..."
Jiang Ming sighed, walked to the tavern, went directly to the second floor, asked for a bright place by the window, ordered food and drinks, and began to eat and drink.
Now that Jiangtou has completely retired and became the shopkeeper, Ah Fei saved some money somewhere and sent people to renovate the tavern. Now there is a new atmosphere and business is booming.
The drinkers at the next table, their faces blushing and their necks thick... They were discussing recent current events as usual.
"Marquis Wu is really a god-man. The world was shocked in the first battle, and all the young people in the town dare not act rashly..."
"Hmph, he's just a bloodthirsty butcher. He is unpopular, and he will be punished sooner or later."
"Fart your fart, Marquis Wu massacres the city, it's not easy to kill, but to warn those who want to make trouble..."
"Fuck, dare to scold me!"
Instant wine bowls and benches flying around...
Jiang Ming hurriedly sat on the other side of the table protecting the food and drinks to avoid being splashed with blood.
After a while, the two fighters were thrown out of the tavern by a big red-faced man, one in each hand, like a chicken, and there was a lot of applause.
The red-faced man turned back to the second floor and sat opposite Jiang Ming: "Brother Ming, I haven't seen you for a long time."
"Why did you become a thug in this tavern?" Jiang Ming said with a smile, this person is Wang Dong, Jiang Ming's friend at the same time in Liehuzhuang.
Three years have passed, and Jiang Ming's strength has also been promoted to "not a martial artist", but Wang Dong still only has the ability to sense blood, and has not crossed the threshold of a warrior.
"It's all about earning more money..."
Wang Dong took a big sip of wine and smiled bitterly: "Only after practicing martial arts can you know how difficult martial arts are. I'm afraid I don't have this talent anymore, and I'm too lazy to be a dog in those big families, so I inherited my father's old profession." , opened a butcher shop in Ping'an Town, Oh Bu'an County..."
"Didn't you marry a wife last year, and this year the baby will be born again, and the family is struggling, so I come here to do more errands..."
Wang Dong babbled, Jiang Ming didn't interrupt, just listened silently, maybe this is the final destination of most martial arts practitioners.
"Hey, in our period, it seems that only you and Fang Lie are the only ones who have become warriors..." Wang Dong said suddenly: "Just a few days ago, Fang Lie's blood energy was running smoothly, and he stepped into the third-rate realm."
"Really?" Jiang Ming smiled and said, "I'm going to congratulate you when I'm free."
"I'm very busy now, follow Guan headhunter Shenlong to see the beginning but not the end..." Wang Dong whispered, his eyes were a little wandering, as if he was recalling the days when he went up the mountain to hunt tigers together.
Jiang Ming patted him on the shoulder, and ordered another two catties of spirits and a few catties of pork head meat. Both of them were drunk before leaving separately.
However, Jiang Ming didn't go home directly, but turned to a remote pharmacy.
The pharmacy is called Baicaotang. It is small in size and located in a remote location. However, because the medicinal materials are relatively complete, the customers are okay on weekdays.
Seeing Jiang Ming coming in, several customers who were buying medicine greeted each other:
"Boss Jiang!"
"Boss Jiang, long time no see, what good stuff is there this time..."
"It's nothing, a few golden worm ginseng, I'll clean it up, everyone who is interested will come to see it some other day..." Jiang Ming responded with a smile, this Baicaotang was opened by him, and now with his background, it's not easy to open a medicine shop. It's not a big deal, most of the medicinal materials collected in the weekdays are sold here, and some medicinal materials from other herb collectors can be purchased, which can make some income.
"Go drink again!" Zhou Wenxiu dismissed the guests, walked out from behind the counter, and stared at Jiang Ming dissatisfied.
"Hey, hey..." Jiang Ming quickly emptied all the herbs in the medicine basket, turned around and ran away: "I'm going home first."
…
In the early morning of the next day, Jiang Ming stood in his small courtyard, practicing a set of simple boxing techniques to move his body.
"Wow, Brother Jiang Ming is back home!"
Outside the fence, in the small courtyard next door, there was a sudden exclamation.
Jiang Ming turned his head to look, and saw a little girl who was not much taller than Fourth Master Bai, leaning on the fence between two small courtyards, holding a well-made small wooden bowl full of fried rice. The cicada monkey.
The little girl was looking at Jiang Ming with surprise on her face. The washed white coarse clothes were covered with mud, and the oily and muddy face was mixed together, like a little monster in the world.
"Tian An'an, you're playing with mud again!" Jiang Ming walked over, grabbed the little girl's clothes, and pointed to the mud spots on it: "Your mother will beat you when she comes back later!"
"Scared..." The little girl looked down and was shocked: "I didn't play with mud, these are not my clothes..."
Jiang Ming almost choked. As soon as I went out just now, I saw a little guy squatting in a rain puddle treading water. Could it be a ghost?
Tian An'an forgot about it in an instant, stuffed a cicada monkey into his mouth with his dirty little paws, chewed it crunchily, then grabbed another one and handed it to Jiang Ming.
Jiang Ming Yile also cared about that dirty little hand, so he wanted to reach for it.
Tian An'an hastily withdrew his hand, and asked curiously: "Brother Jiang Ming, do you think the rocks on the mountain look good?"
Jiang Ming laughed, turned back to the house and took out a few colorful pebbles from the medicine basket, and put them in Tian Anan's bowl, and she handed the Cicada Monkey to Jiang Ming.
"Little snob!" Jiang Ming said mercilessly.
"Hmph..." Tian Anan played with the small stone fondly, turned around and ran away, leaving Jiang Ming behind.
Jiang Ming shook his head, too lazy to argue with the little girl, he chewed the cicada monkey, and walked unsteadily towards Baicao Hall.
...
"Shopkeeper, buy medicine!"
Suddenly, a man wearing a bamboo hat whose face could not be seen clearly walked into the pharmacy and said in a deep voice.
Jiang Ming didn't take it seriously, and sent Zhou Wenxiu to sell medicine. There are too many people who hide their identities and buy things. Everyone has a bit of a secret, and he is too lazy to take care of it.
But next, the few herbs that this person said made Jiang Ming unable to sit still.
"Dragon eye, snake flower root, cicada slough, dried leech, nine-scented worm..."
Jiang Ming's memory suddenly returned to the prescription from Huang Laogui when he just crossed this world, that was the beginning of everything...
I drove all day yesterday, and I really couldn’t stand it at night... I got up early and coded a chapter. This chapter is yesterday’s sincerity. There are two more chapters in the afternoon or evening, and I may post them together at that time~~
