The importance of cannon fodder

Chapter 28
The man had a rough beard covering half of his face, and the skin on his face under the black beard was quite fair.

After the servant led her to the room, she retreated respectfully.

Su Jiao stood at the door for a while, but she didn't see any other actions by the Taoist priest in front of her, so she planned how to get away. She vaguely remembered the route when she came, so that she wouldn't get lost in this big courtyard. As for how to get out, Just make up a reason.

Just when Su Jiao was moving lightly, the Taoist priest opened his eyes. His eyes were dark and twinkling like stars. His brows were really beautiful, but it was a pity that he couldn't see his true face with his big beard.

The beard moved slightly, "Is it famous?" The voice was quite nice.

Su Jiao, who was originally moving, stopped her moving body,
It's asking if she has a name?Su Jiao thought for a while, and a name suddenly popped up in her mind, and she couldn't help saying it: "Su Jiu."

"Su Jiu," the Taoist stroked his beard, "There is a book on the table, which is what you should do in the future, take it back tonight so you can remember it."

Su Jiao looked over to the table. The pear wood table was very exquisite, with fine patterns carved on the edges and legs. On the table, a thick yellowed ancient book was lying there quietly. .

"Uh, um, sir, you have to memorize all of these?" Su Jiao weighed the book in her hand, not to mention reading it page by page, it was so thick that it was too heavy to hold in her hand.

"Well, let's go." The Taoist closed his eyes and continued to meditate quietly.

Su Jiao turned to the first page, on which was written the words "Little Notes on Alchemy" in traditional characters, black lines could not help but appear on her forehead, the Taoist priest wanted her to help in alchemy.

Su Jiao walked out with the book, the dull servant outside looked at her, and said without expression: "Mister asked me to take you to where you live."

"Ah."

Su Jiao felt that if this Taoist priest asked her to make alchemy, it would be okay to live here like this. After all, she had spent all her money. She was a child in a foreign land, and she didn't know how to live outside, so she still had to stay in this country. The capital is looking for Feng Wantian.

In this way, Su Jiao lived in this courtyard, and her job was to watch the fire of the Taoist's elixir stove every day and make a elixir boy.

Su Jiao didn't quite know what this bearded Taoist priest was doing. He meditated in his room every day, and occasionally disappeared for three to five days. After returning, he continued to make pills. Su Jiao just watched the fire according to his requirements. , add ingredients, but Su Jiao knows nothing about what it is used for and where it is used.

But Su Jiao is not a curious person, since Mr. Yun doesn't want her to know, Su Jiao will not talk too much.

In a few years, Su Jiao has grown from a skinny little girl to a lifetime of white and tender flesh. The little girl has a good foundation and looks pretty, but Su Jiao has always pretended to be a man, so she is wearing gray men's clothes He looks like a handsome thin man.

I don't know if it's because she looks really good, there are several little girls in the big yard winking at her, although Su Jiao pretended not to see her.

Master Li, the owner of the big courtyard, is a fourth-rank official of Rongguo, who respects Mr. Yun very much, and specially opened a small courtyard for Mr. Yun in the mansion.

Su Jiao is a Taoist boy under Mr. Yun, so the people in the yard are more polite to her. In the past few years, Su Jiao has been doing well, but for the child who was lost a few years ago, Su Jiao tried hard to inquire, but she couldn't find it. Still ignorant, as if disappeared in this world.
