Bevan Mountain

Three days later, just after dawn, the morning market in Yunhe County was filled with people, peddlers and merchants, and groceries.

A skinny and unkempt beggar curled up on the side of the street, staring boredly at the sunshine on his ankle dotted with mud.

The vendor next to him chased him away in disgust: "Who is a beggar, stay away from my stall!"

The beggar lazily rolled his eyelids and glanced at him, then moved to the side by the way, and leaned against the wall again in a daze.

The market gradually became lively.A thin old man in a white robe swayed over with a bag in his arms.

He found an empty place to sit down, and when he put the bag in front of him, a few round white dough-like things in the bag spread out.

The beggar on the opposite side stared at the dough on the ground, then glanced at the old man, turned his face and looked away lazily.

Not long after, the old man in white robe opened the shop.A woman with a tired face came to his booth. After a brief conversation between the two, the woman took out ten taels of silver from her bosom and handed it to the old man.The old man accepted it with a smile, then picked up a piece of dough and handed it to the woman.

The woman looked at the dough in her hand hesitantly, hesitated for a while, and then left in a hurry.The beggars on the street immediately got up and followed the woman.

That ordinary family must have collected money for some time.The beggar leaned against the wall, frowning as he watched the movement in the room.

The woman took out the medicine she had just bought and fed it to the sleepy man on the bed to swallow.

After only half a moment, the man slowly opened his eyes.The woman was overjoyed and hugged him, crying and laughing.

Seeing this effect, the beggar turned around and jumped out of the wall, finding an empty back alley and wandering in.

After a while, a charming girl with a graceful figure and yellow gauze trailing the floor came out from the alley.

You'er stood at the entrance of the alley, brushed off the hem of his clothes with his hands, turned his eyes, and walked towards the market with a brisk pace.

The old man in white robe was looking left and right, and when he saw the familiar girl coming in from the entrance of the market, he couldn't stop smiling.

Seeing that he had already expected it, You'er was not surprised. He just came to his stall with a smile, squatted down and looked at the dough, and said, "Mr. ?”

The old man laughed loudly: "Young lady's talk is really fun, this is my magic medicine."

"Is this medicine? For what?"

"Hey—" You'er reached out to take it, but the old man stopped him, "Treat what you want."

"Possibly a miscarriage?"

The old man squinted and said: "Young lady asks the question knowingly. If you keep joking, I will close the stall."

"Okay..." You'er clapped her hands and stood up, "I bought them all."

The old man raised his head in surprise: "Ten taels of silver and one medicine!"

"Ten taels of silver per piece of dough..." You'er looked at him with a half-smile, "Is business so easy now?"

"This is medicine, not dough!" The old man was a little anxious.

"I said—I bought them all."

The old man insisted: "One piece per person, never sell more!"

Seeing that he was determined, You'er said slowly, "Two, if one fails, I can feed another one."

The old man said anxiously: "One is enough! It will definitely work!"

You'er wondered: "You old man, why don't you make money with the money you got?"

The old man hesitated for a long time, and Fang said: "Okay! Then you eat two together! It will go bad after overnight!"

You'er heard the words, but smiled: "I wrote it down."

Back at the inn, You'er hurriedly fed Fu Nanxing to take a medicine.As expected, Fu Nanxing woke up in an instant.

But still very weak, Mi Mi stared at You'er: "Where is this? Why are you alone?"

You'er then explained the past few days to her one by one.Fu Nanxing bent his arms to try to sit up, but felt his whole body go weak, and his mind became even dizzy.

You'er pushed the person back, and said: "You haven't had a drop of water for a few days, and we can't catch up with them now. Why don't you rest for another day and recuperate better tomorrow, so we can leave later."

Fu Nanxing looked at the curtain: "I believe in Sister Wuyue, her spells are unpredictable, she must have her own way this time - I'm just worried, in case... Ah Li can't stand it... ..."

You'er said: "You...have you figured out something long ago?"

Fu Nanxing gave a short sigh weakly, didn't say any more, just turned around and said: "I was followed by a fair boy in a narrow alley that day, he was carrying a cloth bag in his hand, and said he wanted to sell me something, after that I have no memory of it at all—have you seen such a person in the past few days?"

You'er thought about it carefully, then shook his head and said: "No—but, that old man who sells medicine is a bit weird, and he probably has something to do with the boy you mentioned. You should rest first, and I will go to see it before the morning market is over. look."

However, when You'er returned to the stall again, the old man had already disappeared with the medicine.

It was approaching noon, the sun was drying on the shoulders, and the morning market was gradually closing. Occasionally, there were traders and pedestrians passing by You'er. You'er took out two pieces of white jade from his bosom, held them in his hands and rubbed them for a while , and finally took it back.
