Servant of the Otherworldly Pharmacopoeia

Xu Jiu, who doesn't know how to flatter, has been worrying about how the housekeeper should ask him to sign a contract. How should he refuse? Not even a human being.Only Pangpang came over occasionally, took off his little shoes and lay down beside him to sleep.

Xu Jiu looked at the fat eyebrows in confusion. The child hadn't opened yet, with a round face, a small chin, big eyes, two dense rows of eyelashes, which intertwined up and down when sleeping with eyes closed, like ink lines drawn like.The child's hair is not too dark, a little long, as thin and soft as a fine brocade.Xu Jiu usually combed the top of his head upside down, like a little girl.

"It can't really be the illegitimate son of the manor owner, right?" Xu Jiu looked at the child and muttered in his heart, the appearance of the manor owner flashed in his mind, and he concluded with satisfaction, "My fat man must be a handsome boy when he grows up."

As the saying goes, you get what you pay for, because you can’t earn it back by selling your body—one silver coin and one box of sky-high wound medicine, Xu Jiu’s body recovered quickly, and he even picked out a piece of blood with ointment from his body. Scab intends to take to space for research.

He hasn't entered the space for more than ten days, and he has filled in half of the information in the second field one after another. Due to his previous experience, his progress has been significantly accelerated this time, and he has not encountered too many obstacles.

The turnip harvest time has arrived.

He didn't dare to go in the manor while he was recovering from his injuries. Suddenly he had a lot of opportunities to sleep and suddenly he was not used to it. He only ate and slept all day long. After seven or eight days, his abdominal muscles were almost gone.After his injury got better, Xu Jiu was still thinking about how to leave, but the butler never showed up, so he asked the servant who delivered the food to convey the message, but Qing Kong came in not long after he finished speaking.

Qing Kong has always been famous for his elegance in the manor, well-dressed and looking like an elite, he smiles at everyone, even Xu Jiu.He is a distant relative of the chief steward, and his younger sister Qing Xing followed the chief steward to this territory since they were young. He has a high prestige, and everyone privately regards him as the successor of the next contract.

Xu Jiu looked at the person who was walking with his back to the light, Qingkong didn't show his usual smile, he just looked at Xu Jiu, made Xu Jiu's hair stand on end before he said: "Do you want to go back?"

"Well, I've been here for more than ten days, and I have to go back to collect eggs."

"Oh..." Qing Kong twitched the corners of his mouth, his voice was indifferent, "Then you pack your things, and you can leave after packing."

Xu Jiu didn't expect it to be so easy, and was taken aback: "Don't you need to report to the butler?"

The meaning of Qing Kong's expression is unclear: "The butler has a lot of housework, and I can make decisions about such small things."

Xu Jiu suddenly felt that the other party had misunderstood something, and explained repeatedly: "I didn't mean that. I still owe the manor five silver coins. I'm afraid that you will be punished by the housekeeper if you let me go."

"Is that so?" Qing Kong raised his head halfway, took a deep look at him, turned and went out, "Don't worry about it."

Xu Jiu has been sick since he was a child, and is very sensitive to people's emotional changes. Qing Kong didn't speak harshly to him, but he felt uncomfortable as if he had been scolded.He hugged the child on the bed, kissed his bulging cheek, and sighed: "Oh, it's so hard to be a human being. The only salute I have is you, let's go home."

let's go home.

After successfully leaving the gate of the manor, Xu Jiu hugged the child and looked back at the castle, feeling relieved by the vastness of the world outside.

The person who sent him back was replaced by a silent middle-aged man. He let Xu Jiu sit in the car and sat on the shaft by himself. With a flick of the whip, the Shata Beast spread its hooves and began to run wildly.Xu Jiu tried to talk to him and ask about Ali's situation, but the man just shook his head and walked quickly through the bustling street.When approaching the city gate, the carriage stopped suddenly, and there was a lot of noise and screams.

Curious, Xu Jiu raised the curtain of the car and looked out. The first thing he saw was people. Roughly clothed civilians and well-dressed nobles were rarely crowded together, and they all looked up with terrified expressions.Xu Jiu followed their gazes, and the second thing he saw was a row of heads!

The bloody heads were hanging on the city gate one by one, still dripping dirty blood.There were scavengers buzzing around the heads, their faces were filthy, and no one wiped them after the execution, but Xu Jiu still saw a few familiar faces among them, and the heads of the group besieging him were all on the ground. hanging above.He also vaguely heard words such as "Lord", "Tianyong", "Boss" and "Rectification". Xu Jiu was in a trance as if his mind exploded. Although he hoped that those people would be severely punished, he saw a row of bloody The human head was still deeply irritated, those wide open eyes made him shiver several times, and his stomach churned and vomited out.

The middle-aged man driving the carriage moved forward in disgust, away from the filth, but it stopped right under the heads of those people!Looking up, you can still see the air-dried and transparent trachea——

Pa, a drop of mucus happened to drip on the tip of Xu Jiu's nose.

vomit!

At this time, the gate of the city was dredged open, and the sand tower beast neighed and rushed out of the city with all its strength.

Xu Jiu wiped his face desperately, wishing to peel off that piece of flesh.

Going all the way like this, the barren cliff is far in sight.

Xu Jiu stood in front of the castle gate with her sleeping child in her arms. The huge castle stood there desolately and lonely, welcoming its returning guests.Until then, Xu Jiu's heart was finally settled.

I am back.

He fell to his knees on the stone slab in front of the castle gate, and all the strength in his body was drained at once.Pangpang was placed on the stone slab, and the child lay there with all fours curled up, pitifully small.

Xu Jiu poked the child's face: "Fatty."

After poking, poking, poking, and poking again, the child finally opened his eyes. His dark eyes looked at the drowsy sky above his head, and then at Xu Jiu.

"Let's go home!"

The child got up quickly, looked at Xu Jiu, and started to walk into the castle with his small body.

Xu Jiu hurriedly followed, muttering to himself: "It's better to go home, I'm suffocated to death in the manor."

The castle has been empty for ten days, the gate is covered with ashes, and there are footprints on the ground, one for adults and one for children, crooked and childlike.

"It's almost the same as when I first came here half a year ago!" Xu Jiu patted the ashes on his body and sneezed, "You weren't there at that time~"

Fatty sniffled, regardless of Xu Jiu, who was thinking about the past, and pushed open the bedroom door.

The bedroom is still the same as it was before, a broken bed with missing corners and broken edges, a stone table, and a pile of debris piled up in the corner.Returning from the tall house to this humble little shabby house all of a sudden, even though Xu Jiu loves his nest very much, he felt very bitter.He suddenly remembered Uncle Ge's lines in "Let the Bullets Fly": "Think about it, you took your wife out of the city, ate hot pot and sang songs, and suddenly you were robbed by gangsters." Brings tears to my eyes.Xu Jiu is in the same mood as Uncle Ge at the moment, think about it, you took your child to receive the reward, happily went to do the New Year’s shopping, and suddenly met SJB who was almost killed, took his life, and ended up with a lot of debts to pay for the rest of his life Unclear, but your benefactor sold you into slavery!

"I wanted to buy a good leather one." Xu Jiu shook the old fur on the bed, the fur fell out rustlingly, and some places were already bald.

Fatty didn't understand his lost mood, picked up his little bear, and rubbed it on the bear's face.

"There's ashes, baby!" Xu Jiu squatted down hastily, and blew on the child's eyes. The child was fascinated, his eyes were red, and he looked very pitiful.After Xu Jiu finished playing, she hugged the child, "Fatty."

The child's head rested behind his ear.

The two leaned together quietly, and Xu Jiu suddenly felt a deep sense of powerlessness: "Fatty, do you know where my brother is from? I came from a far away place, and I opened my eyes to see this continent. I was very surprised when I was there. You can see that there is no grass here, and there are yellow wastelands, yellow sand, and stones everywhere. It is really a special place. I want to try my best to live a good life. I only sleep for two or three hours a day and rack my brains to complete it. Task. But, the strength of one person is too small, I tried my best, but these efforts are so insignificant, and even an accident can overthrow all these achievements, five silver coins..." Xu Jiu sniffled , red-eyed with no promise, "I used to be poor and had no money for medical treatment. I even secretly bought lottery tickets. I dreamed that huge prizes would fall on me, so my family would not have to work so hard. I might be able to rescue them." …I don’t have the talents to cause public opinion, and I don’t have earth-shattering stories that make people cry. I’m just an ordinary person who wants to live. I hope a miracle will allow me to live. I miss my mother..."

Xu Jiu said a lot of miscellaneous things, and the row of empty heads kept flashing in front of him, and the drop of blood seemed to still stop at the tip of his nose, and was flowing down, nothing could stop it.Xu Jiu rubbed vigorously on the child's milk-scented body.

"Mom?" the child said in a childish voice.

"Mom, my brother's mother." Xu Jiu poked his little face, "My brother's father is mighty and majestic, my mother is gentle and kind, and my brother is the best baby in the world."

"younger brother?"

"It's you!" Xu Jiu laughed and rubbed his head.

The kid grinned.

The two were mourning spring and autumn, and they were talking intimately. Suddenly, there was a loud bird cry in the hall. The voice was hoarse and high-pitched, shaking the walls. Xu Jiu hurried out, and the big bird's sharp beak greeted him!
