Servant of the Otherworldly Pharmacopoeia

Dutu Manor.

Du Tuxuan, who had toured for seven days, officially returned to the Black Tower. After getting up early in the morning, he came to the storage room on the first floor for an unprecedented time. One of the rooms was filled with the spoils of his trip.

"My lord, Jiu is back." The old butler deliberately raised his head, and as expected, he saw the corner of the man's mouth slightly raised.On the way to travel, I have a sullen face every day, and I woke up early today and waited until now, and the poisoning is really too deep.

Du Tuxuan sat motionless with both ends, and only slightly raised his eyelids: "Yes."

Hehe, the butler stepped aside and remained motionless, no longer ready to be considerate.

Du Tuxuan was a little surprised, looked at him, then looked again, he couldn't understand why Huan suddenly didn't understand, so he coughed heavily: "Let him come and see me."

"What did your lord say?"

"Nine."

The big housekeeper almost watched him grow up, and was familiar with his little movements to the bone.Seeing that Du Tuxuan kept scratching the pages of the book with his index finger, he was obviously extremely anxious... Then he smiled softly: "It was just a message from the watchtower, and it will be a while before he enters the door."

Du Tuxuan glared at him angrily.

The old butler probably also felt that it would be bad to provoke him any longer, so he retreated knowingly and went to the corridor in front of the black tower to wait for Xu Jiu.

Xu Jiu got up before dawn and rushed to the manor. The unmelted snow froze into a hard ice shell in the morning, which creaked when stepped on, and slipped without paying attention.He didn't dare to control the horse too fast, so he walked half as long as usual before returning to the manor.

After handing the horse back to the racecourse, Xu Jiu hurried to the black tower.Unexpectedly, a person stood in front of the door, and he was taken aback: "The butler?"

The butler glanced at him with distaste: "Go and see your lord first."

"But, but my image..." After working in the village for a few days and moving mud for a few days, there are still black dirt in the nails, disheveled hair, dull skin, and maybe a layer of road sticky on the face. How could Du Tuxuan see this appearance!

"I'm going to wash my face first."

"If you tell you to go, you can go."

"..." With a bitter face, Xu Jiu quickly plucked his hair, wiped his face, tried to make two big grins, and then opened the door and walked in.

Du Tuxuan sat at the table next to the window in the room with both ends, the morning sun shone a faint golden light on his body, every detail was clearly visible, and he was extremely handsome.Xu Jiu suddenly realized a sense of fate originating from the prehistoric, when he met the people he met among thousands of people, the clouds quickly became the background, and only one person was always there, and even time seemed to stop, and it caught him. Your footsteps make you willing and grateful, grateful for this hasty life, grateful for it that you finally encountered a unique stop among thousands of people.

"Hey, Du Tuxuan Shuang." Xu Jiu looked at it for a long time, then spoke slowly.

Du Tuxuan raised his head in surprise, and saw that his eyes were full of stars.Then she pursed her lips, suppressed her smile until it was barely visible, and replied softly, "Nine."

So Xu Jiu showed a big smile, and ran to him quickly: "Long time no see~"

Du Tuxuan nodded.

"Why are you here, have you eaten yet?"

Du Tuxuan didn't answer the previous question, and was about to speak when he suddenly heard a slight cooing sound.Glancing at Xu Jiu's stomach without any trace, he said, "Not yet."

"Why haven't you eaten so late?" Xu Jiu scolded, "Then hurry up and eat, breakfast is very important."

"Let's eat together."

Xu Jiu wanted to kiss him but held back, and ran out: "I'm going to wash my face first!"

The butler watched the two of them chatting all the time, his teeth a little sore: "My lord, what do you want to eat?"

"More meat. I'll just have another pot of stew."

"Yes, my lord."

So after a while, Xu Jiu changed into clean clothes and came to have the second breakfast with Du Tuxuan with his wet hair.He was really hungry, and the two plates of meat and custard broth were eaten by the wind and clouds, and Du Tuxuan watched quietly from the side.

"Why don't you eat when you're swollen?" Xu Jiu asked inarticulately with her swollen cheeks.

Du Tuxuan took a sip of the soup and slowly accompanied him.

Xu Jiu blushed a little, and slowed down his eating speed, and fed Du Tuxuanshuang a piece of meat: "This meat is very tender and delicious, try it."

Du Tuxuan leaned over slightly, and ate the meat with Xu Jiu's chopsticks.

"Hey." Xu Jiu smiled smugly and continued to eat.

The butler felt very blinded, and when Xu Jiu finished eating, he immediately took away the plate and brought it to the door regardless of the half of the soup left in front of Du Tuxuan.

Xu Jiu was a little embarrassed: "I should have served it."

Du Tuxuan pulled him to sit down, and held his hand wordlessly.Xu Jiu blinked: "My hands are dirty."

The palm of the hand, which was originally thin and tender, has a burnt blister under each finger root, a piece of bright red lipstick, and densely packed small scars.Turning the hand over, the nails were bald by an unknown tool, the edges were uneven, and there was mud between the fingers that could not be washed off.

Du Tuxuan rubbed his hands carefully, one shallow and one deep folded together: "How are you at home?"

Xu Jiu nodded happily: "The well has water."

Du Tuxuan was also surprised: "It's really good, no wonder you are so happy."

Xu Jiu tilted his head to look at him, and couldn't help kissing him: "Well, everyone is happy when there is water. On the day when the water came out, there was a bonfire in the village, and the dung balls for the winter were piled up. The woman They sang next to me until the next day..."

Xu Jiu babbled, trying to tell him all the words.There are too many things to say, and I simply don't know when and what month to go.Du Tuxuan was by his side, and the growing love after the separation made him dizzy and gradually grew panic. He realized that he had gained too much, as if he was holding all the benefits of the world in his arms.

He stopped suddenly, Du Tuxuan was puzzled: "What's wrong?"

"We're going to be together forever."

"Okay." Du Tuxuan smiled and kissed him lightly.

Xu Jiu's voice was muffled: "You are so kind to me, I'm a little scared."

His rare act of attachment made Du Tuxuan's heart soft, and the two leaned closer, cuddling each other like two small animals in winter.

In the meeting hall outside the black tower, Qing Kong said to the chief steward: "My lord, a few days ago, someone from the witch doctor family said that a new mine seems to have been discovered in their family's medicine field."

The butler asked: "New mine? Have you gone to see it?"

"The meaning of the witch doctor family is that they hope that the housekeeper will go in person."

Qingkong's identity is just a servant, and the witch doctor clan absolutely cannot let a servant preside over such a big matter.And the stewards of the witch doctor family have the same status as the chief steward.

"Wait until I tell my lord."

The steward dislikes the witch doctor family very much. As the most powerful family in the Dutu kingdom except for the royal family, the witch doctor family has complete autonomy and can take root in any corner without the permission of the lord. Some bloodlines are remote The lord can't even restrain the witch doctor in the territory.And the witch doctor just grasped the lifeblood of all people's life, old age, sickness and death. The witch doctor in the Great Witch Doctor Tower has excellent medical skills, resurrects the dead, and is said to be able to communicate with gods. He has won the appreciation of the kings of all dynasties, and the power of the witch doctor is growing.

Although the witch doctors in the witch doctor tower are miraculous, many of their descendants are useless.The witch doctor at the border of Dutu Manor occupied the best ore lode in the territory, and said with certainty that the ore lode was his own medicine field.At that time, the butler wanted to cure Du Tuxuanshuang wholeheartedly. Although he was in pain, he also gave up. Who knows that after more than ten years of treatment, Du Tuxuanshuang suffered a lot. He poured bowls of colorful soups and waters one after another. It didn't improve at all, and even suffered from anorexia.

With this kind of ability, it would be no wonder that the butler fell in love with the witch doctor.

The two were in the meeting room, the chief steward asked in detail about the general affairs of the manor during the parade, and Qing Kong answered them one by one in an orderly manner, and the chief steward who listened nodded repeatedly.

"Qing Kong, how old are you this year?"

"Twenty-seven, my lord."

"When I saw you back then, you were only as tall as one leg of mine." The butler recalled with a smile, "Since I was a child, I have been strict and organized. I thought at that time, such a good child, if Born to Du Tu's family, I am afraid that most of the princes and grandchildren will not be able to compare with you."

Qingkong's eyes turned red: "The butler is too high on Qingkong."

The big housekeeper waved his hand: "You child, if I don't like you, why would I choose you from so many relatives of the son's generation? I originally hoped that the adult would form a bond with you, but the adult already has nine. Child, are you I watched him grow up, but adults are even more so. I will serve him single-handedly. I will object. Sigh, it’s just making things difficult for you. Even if you don’t tell me, I know that everyone thought you were the next generation’s contracted servant and treated you respectfully, but suddenly it changed to nine, and it became difficult for you.”

Qing Kong's emaciated body stood there motionless, and slowly replied: "Uncle once taught me that servants have no personal will, and we only serve adults."

Hearing Qingkong call uncle again after so many years, it is rare for the butler to be emotional: "You don't have to pay attention to those people who follow the wind, I watched you grow up, and the most important thing is love. He knows that I have a crush on you , after I die, he will definitely not treat you badly. Jiu is just a person who plays with adults. He has never studied manor management, and adults will not let him be taken up by these chores. As long as you don’t make mistakes, everything except the contract It will all be the same as before.”

Qingkong said respectfully: "I remember, uncle."

"You have to take care of your sister." The big housekeeper said a little bit, "If you didn't miss her when you were young, I would definitely not bring her here. The little girl is a younger sister, and everyone knows that she is my niece. Your younger sister, my lord stays behind closed doors, so she will inevitably lose control in the manor. She has a delicate temper, but she has become more and more indulgent recently. I heard that she often quarrels with you?"

Qing Kong hurriedly said: "Uncle, she just wants to have fun with her mouth. She is devoted to the adults and has no bad intentions."

"You think I don't understand?" The big butler also had a headache, "It's natural for adults to be the first, and the girls must like him. I didn't deliberately stop her idea, but Jiu appeared, so we thought it was logical Everything has changed. We used to think that adults may not like Qingxing, but Qingxing has been in the manor for so many years, adults look at her like you and me, and now I like Jiu. You need to persuade that Girl, don't be fooled."

Qingkong said bitterly: "Got it."

The butler was tired after talking so much, and waved his hand: "Go down, I will tell you about the witch doctor clan before I talk about it."

"Yes."
