Servant of the Otherworldly Pharmacopoeia

Xu Jiu was eating in the kitchen, and the beautiful maid cut him a plate of cooked meat and a large bowl of clear soup.The meat was tender, smooth, and tasty. He was so hungry that he didn't even care about his manners, so he buried his head in eating.

I don't know if it was his illusion, but he always felt that some people were deliberately walking around beside him. When Xu Jiu raised his head, he found that they were not looking sideways, as if they didn't pay attention to him at all.

Qing Kong led his little apprentice out.

The little apprentice secretly took a look at Xu Jiu who was buried in his meal: "Master, what is his background?"

Qing Kong also seemed puzzled: "I don't know, the butler ordered it personally."

"Come and cut Yun Ban's claws yourself?" the little apprentice muttered, obviously not believing it.

Qingkong didn't speak.

As usual, the housekeeper had no reason to pay attention to such an untouchable in a poor country, and he didn't say anything when he called him over, just let him stay in the backyard.And the backyard... Qingkong glanced darkly at the high wall of the backyard, and his eyes fell on the windows on the third floor.

Qingkong followed the old butler since he was a child, and now he is a first-class servant. If there is no accident, he will be the next butler of the manor after a hundred years.But he has not yet entered the main castle.There are only two households in the main castle, the manor owner and the old butler, plus a number of servants, and the old butler has no intention of letting him take over.

"If you want to cut the claws, I can do it. Everyone in the manor can do it." The little apprentice didn't understand why he made such a fuss.

Qing Kong turned his head and glared at him: "When will your talkative problem be corrected?"

The little apprentice answered yes respectfully, and stuck out his tongue while Qingkong was not paying attention.

After Xu Jiu finished his meal, he drank another large bowl of water, regained his energy, and began to make friends.

The manor is not as strict as he imagined. When greeting people, most people will return a smile.Xu Jiu followed the little brother in the kitchen and kept making friends: "Brother, what does Yunban like to eat?"

"..."

"How can it come down? Do you need to feed it? I'll feed it!"

"Need not."

"Then what does it like? How do you usually cut his claws?"

"..."

The little brother is a kind little brother, but he doesn't say anything he doesn't say.

Xu Jiu stood under the tree sullenly, watching the big cat purring.

"Meow~" he greeted it.

The big cat didn't even give it a look.

The old butler came up again, and saw that the food on the table had not moved, and his master was reading a book.

"My lord, drink some milk."

The man frowned, looked at the butler again, picked it up and drank it in one gulp.

The butler was very happy, and looked out the window: "The child is here again."

The man turned his head and found that Xu Jiu was really standing under the tree, communicating with Yun Ban relentlessly.

"Why is he called Yun Ban like that?" The man was puzzled.

The boy kept meowing towards Yunban, but the housekeeper didn't understand: "I don't know, is it their village dialect? My lord, do you want to send someone to ask?"

The man shook his head: "No need."

The young man under the tree started jumping up and down again, his eyes were scorching bright.

The house was silent, incompatible with the noise downstairs.

"I just wanted to see, you know, that kid never wanted to come back..." The man pondered for a while, as if thinking of something, he stopped suddenly, "He is very good to that kid."

The butler was very helpless with his words: "My lord..."

The man knew what he was going to say and glared at him unhappily.

"My lord, I didn't want to persuade you," the old housekeeper compromised, "You are happy, to me is the most important thing."

The man is satisfied.

The housekeeper saw that his expression was relaxed, and said again: "Will your lord go?"

The man stared at him, frowned, and nodded reluctantly after a long time.

"Then don't go there for so long, sir, it's not good for your health."

The man has been lying on the bed recently, and his already weak body has become weaker and weaker, and his blood color has also become lighter and paler, as pale as a transparent person.No one in the wasteland is so pale, even the most prestigious princess in Wangcheng.

The man didn't speak, and suddenly said: "That child doesn't want to come back, I didn't stop it. And I also want to stay outside for a while..."

"grown ups……"

"Huang, I'm tired."

The butler bowed and withdrew: "Yes, my lord."

The man closed the book in front of him, and looked out the window at the young man that children liked a lot.Different from the tall and rough people in the wilderness, this is a thin and slender young man.He has a delicate face, and he smiles mischievously but kindly. After being tossed by Yunban for a long time, he didn't really lose his temper. He was still teasing it seriously, and he kept talking.

How different from myself.

The man pushed the wheelchair to the carved water mirror and looked at the person in the mirror.Having not seen the sun for many years, the person in the mirror is stiff, rigid and pale, and does not look like a living person.The witch's words echoed in my ears: "The relatives and friends are separated, the hardships and hardships are either unlucky or auspicious, and they die early."

After the birth of a nobleman's child, witches would come to divination. If it was twins, the one with better fate would be kept, and the rest would either be ignored or dedicated to the beast god according to the custom in the wilderness.Most of the children in the wasteland were twins, but he was born single, which was already ominous, and the witch's divination made the ominous even worse.Just when he was about to be abandoned, a single princess was born in the palace, which was born to His Majesty's favorite concubine. His Majesty was so happy that his family didn't dare to deal with him who was also single, so they stayed behind.

He had lived in the manor for more than ten years until he was kicked out of the royal city, and he probably would not be far from the date of his early death.

The man in the mirror looked at his legs, and then tried to stand up while holding on to one of the doorposts... When he was about to stand up, his calf trembled, and suddenly fell back heavily. The man showed anger on his face, biting He slammed his teeth hard on the doorpost, and his flesh burst and his blood spread.

Xu Jiu didn't know what was going on upstairs, he just kept teasing the cat.

The cat still didn't move at all, the sun was going west, and Pang Pang was at home alone, he began to get anxious, and it would be dark if he came home late!

He hastily dropped all kinds of things in his hand and started looking for Qing Kong.

Jingren led him to Qingkong's residence, and Qingkong was teaching the boy next to him with the ledger.

"Master Qing Kong." The servant reported, followed by Xu Jiu.

Qing Kong smiled warmly: "What's wrong?"

Xu Jiu stepped forward and saluted: "Master Qing Kong, the sun is setting and I have to go back."

Qing Kong glanced at the clock on the table: "It's time." Then he got up, "Wait a minute, I'll ask the butler."

As soon as Qing Kong stepped forward, the little apprentice next to him immediately followed up with the ledger, and heard Qing Kong scolding him.

Only Xu Jiu and the little servant who brought him were left in the room, well-groomed and well-trained.

Xu Jiu looked at the cumbersome buildings and towers outside the door, and the exquisite carving layout, feeling like he had a nonsensical dream.Because of an inexplicable reason, I entered such an inexplicable place, like a mortal who accidentally entered the moon palace, with mottled osmanthus shadows, full of unreality.

Qingkong came back and smiled at Xu Jiu: "I just asked the butler, you can go back."

"Yes." Xu Jiu was full of joy, and when he turned the corner, he saw the pure black tower, the transparent jade tree under the tower, and the big lazy cat on the tree, and waved his hand, "bye bye, I'm going back !"

Yunban turned a deaf ear to it, only the copper bell at the corner of the eaves felt his joy, ding ding ding ding ding ding ding ding ding ding to send him off.

Xu Jiu got into Ali's carriage, and Ali took him away like the wind.

There is a market in front of Shinto, Xu Jiu asked loudly: "Ali, can you buy Shata Beast?"

"Huh? Yes!"

"How much is that?"

"Ten copper coins!"

... Uh, that's a lot, and the annual salary is only ten copper coins.Xu Jiu looked at the vendors on the side of the road, "Can I go shopping?"

Ali slowed down the car: "Buy Shata Beast?"

Xu Jiu looked at the Shata driving ahead, and shook his head: "I don't have so many copper coins, I just want to bring something for my brother."

"It's simple!" Ali jumped out of the car. "The street ahead is Dongshi. There are many things that children like to eat. My children like to eat the breast lumps there."

Hearing that it was food, Xu Jiu also became interested, jumped off the horse, and Ali went to the store by the road to entrust the carriage.

The clerk in this store knew Ali very well, and he took the horse without saying a word. Xu Jiu looked at the black things sold there, which looked like stones, piece by piece: "Ali, what is that?"
