The younger brother is a biting leprechaun

The jade pendant was cold to the touch, black and green in the middle, unlike the usual jade pendants that were forbidden to step, engraved with Lanzhi vanilla or unicorn and dragon, but with a long black snake carved on it.Xu Qing lifted the jade pendant and looked at it under the sunlight, the scale patterns on the black snake's body looked very clear.

Xu Qing guessed jokingly: "This jade pendant must have been stolen from that big snake by my uncle." The long snake was so lifelike that it even gave people the illusion that it would swim down from the jade pendant at any time and eat it at any time. .

Wen Jifeng said: "This jade pendant should belong to Tao Ran." Tao Ran was standing in this position just now.

Xu Qing threw the jade pendant into the arms of her junior brother: "Perhaps it was given to Tao Ran as a family heirloom. You should keep it first, junior brother. They probably won't care about us for a while, and we just happened to go out for a while." Wen Jifeng put it away. After taking off the jade pendant, she followed Xu Qing out of the door in a daze.He secretly heaved a sigh of relief, Xu Qing seemed to have finally become normal, and returned to the original playful and troubled appearance.

It's a pity that things didn't go as Wen Jifeng thought, he even prepared to go out to spend money for Xu Qing, but Xu Qing only took him to two places, wine shop and drug store.

"Two taels of realgar from the shopkeeper!" Xu Qing yelled.

Wen Jifeng was puzzled: "Senior brother, you bought realgar to make realgar wine?" Realgar is not a precious and rare medicinal material, so the store clerk quickly brought Xu Qing a couple of taels.

Xu Qing put the wine he bought just now on the counter of the pharmacy, opened the mud seal, and first took a sip: "The Hua Diao is a good one, do you want to try it?" Wen Jifeng shook his head and refused.Xu Qing didn't force him, poured the realgar into the wine, Wen Jifeng paid for the medicine for him, and waited for him to answer his own question.

Xu Qing didn't answer him, but while shaking the wine evenly, he asked the pharmacist enthusiastically: "It is said that realgar is very poisonous to snakes, and it is said that the white lady died in Duanyang because of drinking realgar wine by mistake. Xu Xian was frightened to death when the festival showed its original shape, and I don’t know if it’s true or not.”

The pharmacist is obviously also a talkative person: "I don't know if it can be poisoned to death, but I have personally seen a snake run away after smelling the smell of realgar wine. It is probably useful. As for the snake monster, if the guest officer is lucky If you can meet such a one, you can try it. Speaking of which, Xu Xian is really a person who does not cherish blessings. If I were him, I would have a wife as dignified and virtuous as Bai Niangniang, who also runs a rich family. Even if she is a snake demon, I would definitely not Separate from her!"

Xu Qing responded with a smile: "There is no limit to longevity, sincerity leads to spiritual success. Brother, why not go to the temple and ask the gods, maybe they can really give you a daughter-in-law like the white lady."

The pharmacy clerk waved his hand: "It's just a joke. How can the Taoist take it seriously? Two taels of realgar is enough. If the Taoist wants to drink this realgar wine, he needs to be careful. The realgar is slightly poisonous, and eating too much is not good for the body."

The two chatted happily, and after a few more words, Wen Jifeng and Xu Qing came out of the pharmacy.After listening to Xu Qing's conversation with the pharmacy clerk, Wen Jifeng vaguely guessed what Xu Qing wanted to do, but he didn't quite understand.Xu Qing has been speculating about Tao Ye in his heart, Wen Jifeng already knew about it, but thinking of the affection he mentioned to Fu Dansheng earlier, Wen Jifeng is not so sure.

"Brother, do you want to try Uncle Tao with this wine, or Senior Fu?" Wen Jifeng asked.

Xu Qing raised his eyebrows: "How does junior know that this wine is not for testing you?" Wen Jifeng paused, and Xu Qing laughed loudly seeing his junior brother's uneasy expression, "Junior brother, don't be angry. Just kidding, everyone has to drink this realgar wine anyway, and whoever drinks it shows off his feet will be the one who tried it." Wen Jifeng was thoughtful, Xu Qing would say this, maybe even he didn't know , who is the problem.

Back at Tao Mansion, just in time for lunch, Tao Ye, father and son, and Fu Dansheng were already seated in the main room, as if they were waiting for them.Seeing Xu Qing and two people enter the door, Tao Ye ordered his servants to serve the food.

Xu Qing took the initiative to plead guilty, and Tao Ye asked: "The two nephews have been here for many days, and they don't go out to play very much. I don't know where they went today?"

Xu Qing smiled, and said solemnly: "Knowing that Master Uncle is weak, and the seasons are changing these few days, he is very susceptible to cold, so he went to buy some wine with Junior Brother and came back." Xu Qing said the wine in his hand The jar was placed on the round table, "Drinking a little rice wine can relax the meridians and activate collaterals, just to warm up the body."

Tao Ye said: "Master nephew has a heart." He didn't reject Xu Qing's kindness, and asked his servants to warm up the wine in a very face-saving manner.The two have been here for several days, and the people at the dinner table are extremely familiar with each other.It's just that Fu Dansheng and Wen Jifeng are both taciturn and don't talk often.Today is a bit different, Fu Dansheng, who used to be indifferent to everyone, has been staring at Wen Jifeng since he entered the door today, Xu Qing said a few words to Tao Ye, and soon found out that the two were stalemate between.

"Senior Fu, what are you doing staring at my junior brother?" Xu Qing and Wen Jifeng were sitting next to each other. They asked and looked at Wen Jifeng's handsome face with a smile, with his left hand hanging on his shoulder. "Could it be today?" Only then did I find out that my Junior Brother Wen is handsome and graceful?"

Wen Jifeng glanced at Xu Qing speechlessly. The disadvantage of getting acquainted with Xu Qing is that Xu Qing has become more unruly and casual in front of Tao Ran and his son.Xu Qing seems to have a natural ability to find out where the bottom line of others is, and never touch it, just joking wantonly before the limit that others can bear.However, Wen Jifeng also noticed a clue from the strength of Xu Qing's pressing on his shoulders - Xu Qing is now like a fully drawn bow, which is about to burst at any time.

Even if Fu Dansheng stared at others so impolitely, he still looked as cold as ice.He ignored Xuqing's joke, but said to Wen Jifeng: "Is the jade pendant on you?" Tao Ran suddenly remembered the jade pendant that Fu Dansheng gave him in the morning, and he touched it in his arms. Sure enough, the jade pendant disappeared at some point.

On the other side, Wen Jifeng took out the ink jade pendant: "I found it by accident in the pavilion in the morning, but at that time my uncle was undergoing diagnosis and treatment, so it was not easy to disturb me, so I kept it on Jifeng's body for the time being."

As he said that, Wen Jifeng handed over the jade pendant in his hand to Fu Dansheng, but Fu Dansheng turned a blind eye to it, did not take it, and did not even say a single word.

Tao Ran hurriedly said: "Thanks to Junior Brother Wen, this jade pendant was given to me by Uncle Fu for self-defense. It's my fault that I was not careful, but now I found out that I lost it." As he spoke, he came to pick up Wen Jifeng's jade pendant.Unexpectedly, on the way, Xu Qing pulled Wen Jifeng's hand back, leaving Tao Ran in vain.

Facing Tao Ran's surprised description, Xu Qing took the jade pendant in her hand: "Junior Brother Tao means that this is specially handed over to you by Senior Fu to prevent the evil things in Jinyuan City today?"

Tao Ran didn't hide anything, and nodded in agreement, feeling a vague premonition in his heart.These days, he has often been teased by Xu Qing, but he can't catch any mistakes, so he can only hold his breath.

As expected, Xu Qing's expression became serious: "Junior Brother Tao, although our senior brothers have only met each other recently, we are congenial, and I sincerely regard you as my junior brother. I did not forget to take care of you when going to Yizhuang was so dangerous. You. But you, with such an amulet, you didn't think about us two brothers." As he spoke, Xu Qing clutched his chest in pain.

Tao Ran was at a loss for words, and for a moment he really felt a little guilty for what Xu Qing said, although Xu Qing always made him angry and suffocated, but he helped him figure out the fact that the ghost was true, and he remembered it in his heart when he saved his life of.But this jade pendant was given by Fu Dansheng after all, even if he wanted to give this jade pendant to Xu Qing, he had to see what Fu Dansheng meant.

Sensing Tao Ran's gaze, Fu Dansheng said: "It's just some trivial skills. I specialize in alchemy. It is already difficult to make such a jade pendant." The implication is that he does not agree.And it was not the first day that Tao Ran knew Fu Dansheng, and he knew that the thing he disliked the most was others touching his things.

Tao Ran was hesitating, but Xu Qing didn't seem to care.He directly gave the jade pendant in his hand to Tao Ran, and then said with a smile: "It doesn't matter if it's not a body-protecting jade pendant. I'm afraid seniors don't know that the incense in our Xuanchong Temple is not strong. When our senior brothers come out, the master is stretched, so he can't give it to us." What kind of magic weapon and pill is close to me." Xu Qinghan laughed twice, "Now that I meet senior, I can't help being shy and begging for a few life-saving pills from senior." This sentence is really open-eyed. Nonsense, aside from the pills, just the magic weapon, there is the three-ringed moon set on Wen Jifeng's body, and Xu Qing's whisk that does not know what it is useful for.

Fu Dansheng sneered slightly, Xu Qing looked back at him with a smile on his face.

Tao Ye said: "It's not easy to make pills, brother Fu's medicines are not easy to give to others, but I still have some things over there, maybe my nephew can use them."

Fu Dansheng interrupted him: "Didn't I give you all those things?"

Tao Ye was not annoyed, and said gently: "I don't really need these things anyway, maybe it would be more useful for my nephew and others." This time Fu Dansheng didn't speak, just looked at Tao Ye with a frown.

After a long time, Fu Dansheng took out a kit from his sleeve and put it on the table: "This is a kit I got by accident. It can protect health, but it contains spells, so don't open it easily." Seeing Tao Ye's slight smile, Fu Dan Sheng said coldly, "Even if the things given to you are useless, you should keep them well. You can't borrow flowers to offer Buddha."

Tao Ye said with a good temper: "I remember."

It happened that the servant served warm wine, and after Xu Qing hid the bag, he took the initiative to pour the wine for others, and offered a toast to Fu Dansheng to thank him for his gift.

Realgar wine relaxes meridians and activates collaterals, the Tao family father and son did not have any doubts.Tao Ye watched from the side, Fu Dansheng didn't dare to shake Xu Qing's face anymore, after picking up the wine glass, he just sneered and drank the wine in the glass.

A meal can be regarded as a feast for the guests and the host. After returning to her courtyard, Xu Qing opened Fu Dansheng's kit in front of Wen Jifeng.After reading the contents inside, Xu Qingchao Wen Jifeng sighed: "The so-called snake is afraid of realgar, it is really just a rumor."

Hidden in this kit is a black scale the size of a palm.
