Congrats to the boss and his brother

"So many black peach pits?" a guy asked in surprise.

"Where did you get it?" Another guy asked Chi Jingyao.

"Did we go up the mountain to pick it up this autumn? We went several times, but we didn't get a few of them..." The person next to him also said with emotion.

The guys were chattering and looking at Chi Jingyao with surprise and curiosity.

Chi Jingyao was only concerned with excitement just now, but he forgot to be "low-key". Now that he is being questioned by the guys, he is immediately at a loss for words.

On weekdays, it's enough to fool Pei Ye. Pei Ye's temperament is not?No matter whether you believe it or not, you will give Chi Jingyao a yard.

But aren't these guys? They're easy to fool.

Chi Jingyao subconsciously squeezed the broken gourd in his hand tighter, and looked for help to Pei Ye who was pounding medicine in the corner.

Pei Ye raised his eyes and glanced at the little thing, and saw that the little thing looked pitifully weak and helpless, looking at him pitifully.

Pei Yewu sighed, and said to Chi Jingyao, "Brother? Did you ask you to practice calligraphy with him? No? Hurry up?"

"Oh." Chi Jingyao ran away when he heard the words, as if he had received an amnesty.

He has a long memory this time, and he must learn when he encounters problems in the future? Keep a low profile.

Seeing that he ran away, no? They were a little disappointed, and immediately started talking about the udon stones on the table.

Chi Jingyao returned to his residence with his broken gourd in his arms, and then poured out all the black peach pits in it and counted them.Except for the 34 coins given to Ding Xiaowan, he still has 170 coins here.According to the price of 20 points per piece, these uta stones can be exchanged for 3400 points.

This is really going to make a fortune?!

Chi Jingyao took a look at his point balance. After deducting the points he exchanged for peanuts, sweet potatoes and sugar balls for the monkey today, he now has a total of ~260 points.If these 3400 points are added, his point balance will become 3660. Just thinking about this number, Chi Jingyao feels excited.

No? But he hesitated for a while, and was not in a hurry to exchange the uta stones for points.

Before it is determined whether there will be anti-inflammatory drugs in the mall, the value of this black peach pit is far more important than points.

Chi Jingyao felt that he should keep the black peach stone for the time being, and he would consider whether to exchange it after the new medicine was unlocked in the mall in the future.Thinking of this, Chi Jingyao quickly calmed down.

But there is also a hidden danger in keeping the black peach stones. What if he can't keep them? Okay, lost the black peach stones? What should I do?

Chi Jingyao thought to himself, it would be perfect if there was a safe or something like that.

Just in case, Chi Jingyao took out 20 Utao Pits and exchanged them for? Points, and got back the principal spent on the monkey.In this way, even if there was an accident, at least he didn't lose money.Now, Chi Jingyao's point balance has become ?660.

As for the remaining utaly stones, Chi Jingyao divided them into three parts based on the principle that eggs should not be put in the same basket. One part was placed under the bed, and the other part was placed in the cabinet. Here, another copy is on him.

Now Chi Jingyao is like a "little rich man" who is afraid of thieves in his house. He stays in the house and doesn't want to go out at all.

It wasn't until noon when Pei Yuan and Pei Ye came back for dinner that he dawdled out of the room.

"I heard from Miss Ding that you made a great contribution today?" Pei Yuan said to Chi Jingyao.

Chi Jingyao chuckled when he heard the words, and said, "I just helped? A little? A little favor."

"Miss Ding? That's what she said." Pei Yuan smiled and said, "She said, are you being generous today?"

"Is there?" Chi Jingyao turned to look at Pei Ye and asked, "Second brother, do you think I'm generous today?"

Pei Ye raised his eyebrows, his gaze stayed on Chi Jingyao's bulging pockets for a moment, and said flatly, "Very generous."

What he said was in his heart. After Chi Jingyao left today, Pei Ye witnessed with his own eyes the "intense" reaction of the guys in the pharmacy.If another person who didn't know it clearly saw that scene, he would have to suspect that what Chi Jingyao put down was 24 gold ingots.

"I think it's just average." Chi Jingyao said modestly.

"Doctor Ding said that you might be able to save that man's life." Pei Ye said.

As soon as Pei Ye finished speaking, a mechanical voice suddenly sounded in Chi Jingyao's mind:

[Get Pei Ye's favorability value]

[Current strategy progress: 18%]

【Get 50 points】

[Get Pei Ye's favorability value]

[Current strategy progress: 19%]

【Get 50 points】

"Second brother." Chi Jingyao handed it to Pei Ye? With a pair of chopsticks, he said attentively, "Then don't you? Compliment me more?"

Pei Ye looked at him with an expression as if asking, "How do you want me to praise you?"

Chi Jingyao smiled and stretched out his thumb to Pei Ye and said, "Say, you're awesome?"

"You're awesome." Pei Ye said in a perfunctory tone, and then, under Xiaodong's expectant eyes, awkwardly gave him a thumbs up.

[Get Pei Ye's favorability value]

[Current strategy progress: 20%]

【Get 50 points】

Immediately afterwards, Chi Jingyao received a system prompt that the system activated the storage function because the progress of the strategy reached 20%.

Chi Jingyao:! ! !

I really want to come here. Is there a storage space? Is it equal to a system safe?

Chi Jingyao was so excited that he immediately jumped off the chair, ran back to the room in a hurry, took out the walnut pits hidden under the bed and in the cabinet, and put them into the storage space, and finally put them in his pockets. I put that bag in there too.

Although only a small part of the storage space has been activated, not even a cubic meter, it is enough for Chi Jingyao.As long as his ucarite stones are kept safe and secure, nothing else matters right now.

After Chi Jingyao had stored all the things, he returned to the main room as if nothing had happened.

Pei Ye sized him up. He glanced at him, and his sharp eyes lingered on his recovered, smooth pocket. For a moment, his expression was somewhat puzzled.

In the afternoon, Pei Yuan still went to the front yard to help Ding Xiaowan organize herbal notes.

Chi Jingyao followed Pei Ye out of the door, saying that it would be better if he wanted to see that person?

"Where did so many black peach pits come from?" Pei Ye suddenly asked.

"Second brother, don't you? Do you know?" Chi Jingyao replied.

"It's all traded with monkeys?" Pei Ye looked at him and asked.

"Ang..." Chi Jingyao felt a little guilty, and didn't dare to look at Pei Ye.

"Where did you get so many things to trade with it?" Pei Ye asked again.

"Anyway? I didn't? It was stolen..." Chi Jingyao opened his eyes and said nonsense: "Second brother, if I say I can? Do you believe it?"

Pei Ye paused, stared at him and said, "Then you change into one? Let me see."

Chi Jingyao smiled mischievously, bit the bullet and made a deceptive gesture, and then put an egg in Pei Ye's hand.

Pei Ye stared at the egg in his hand for a while, and after he realized it, the little thing had already slipped away.

"Eggs are raw, second brother, be careful not to break them?" The little thing turned around and shouted while running.

Pei Ye: ...

No? Do you know? It's his illusion, he feels that the little things seem to be more and more able to "deceive people".

Chi Jingyao ran to the side courtyard to take a look? The man, the other party is now in a coma and still has a fever.

Chi Jingyao was worried that the man wouldn't be able to survive, so he exchanged it for a [Healthy Pill] at the mall, and quietly fed it to him when no one was looking.

Fortunately, although the other party was unconscious, he still knew how to swallow.

After confirming that the man had swallowed the pill, Chi Jingyao quietly backed out.

He actually doesn't? I'm not too sure whether the [Healthy Pill] will work for this man. After all, when he had a fever last time, the pill's potency was very limited.But at this moment, there is no other way, but to treat the dead horse as a living horse.

"You really care about this man." Ding Xiaowan came over to check on the man's injuries, and met Chi Jingyao at the door.

"Sister Ding, do you think this person can survive?" Chi Jingyao asked.

"At noon, I asked someone to give? He fed again? A pair of medicine, I hope your walnut stone can help him." Ding Xiaowan thought about it, and said: "Anyway? We have done everything we can do?, then Come down to see his life?"

Chi Jingyao sighed, and secretly prayed that this life would be tougher.

Ding Xiaowan went in and took a look? When she came out, she saw that Chi Jingyao hadn't left yet, as if she was waiting for her.

"Sister Ding, why do you want to be a doctor?" Chi Jingyao asked.

"When I was a little older than you, there was a plague in my hometown, and everyone in my family died." Ding Xiaowan said, "I was already dying, but then Master saved me. , Since then I have worshiped? His old man? As a teacher."

Chi Jingyao didn't expect Ding Xiaowan to have such an experience, and wondered why she was so cold-tempered.

Ding Xiaowan took Chi Jingyao to the study in the front yard.

In the house, Pei Yuan was busy writing something at the side of the desk. Now he is cooperating with Ding Xiaowan to sort out the annotations of various herbs. He needs to draw the appearance of each herb first, then describe the appearance of the herb in words, and finally explain its medicinal properties and usage.

Seeing Chi Jingyao coming in, Pei Yuan pointed? He pointed to the other side of the desk and said, "I asked you to come here early in the morning to practice calligraphy, but you know how to hide."

Chi Jingyao didn't? Love? Would like to go to the desk and sit down, looking like he didn't want to study.

Seeing that there were two plants of herbs by Pei Yuan's hand, he couldn't help stretching his head to look over them.

Seeing this, Ding Xiaowan said: "If you can tell the three kinds of differences between these two herbal medicines, I will ask your elder brother for a favor. Will you practice calligraphy today?"

When Chi Jingyao heard the words, he suddenly became energetic. He stared at the two herbs and said, "One is red, and the other is dark red." After finishing speaking, he put the two herbs together Pick it up and smell it? Smell, and said: "The smell of the dark red plant is a little stronger."

"What else?" Ding Xiaowan asked.

"And..." Chi Jingyao thought about it, and said, "Does the medicine have different properties?"

Pei Yuan who was on the side couldn't help laughing and said, "You've got a wicked heart? It's not that bad."

Chi Jingyao didn't understand the properties of medicine at all, but he thought that since Ding Xiaowan asked this question, it must mean that the two herbal medicines are different, and the medicinal properties may be exactly the same, otherwise there is no need to deliberately distinguish them.

"Sister Ding, am I right?" Chi Jingyao asked.

"Well, it's all right." Ding Xiaowan said and looked at Pei Yuan.

Pei Yuan smiled helplessly, as a tacit consent.

"Ayao, come here." Ding Xiaowan beckoned to Chi Jingyao? Beckoned, took it from the box? Another herb came out, and said to Chi Jingyao, "What does this herb smell like?"

Chi Jingyao came forward to sniff? Sniff, and said, "It smells a bit fishy, ​​like fish that's been left for several days."

"What about this one?" Ding Xiaowan changed? Another plant came out.

"It's very fragrant, with a hint of sweetness." Chi Jingyao said.

Hearing this, Ding Xiaowan reached out to cover Chi Jingyao's eyes, and took another herb to his nose, and asked, "What about this?"

"This seems... the one on my elder brother's case, right?" Chi Jingyao sniffed repeatedly? Sniff, and said, "The dark red one."

Ding Xiaowan nodded in satisfaction, pulled Chi Jingyao to sit down, and began to tell him about the medicinal properties and functions of these herbs.

As long as Chi Jingyao is not reading, he finds it interesting to do anything, so he listens very attentively and asks Ding Xiaowan questions from time to time.

At dusk, the clerk came to inform Ding Xiaowan, saying that the injured man's fever had subsided and he was still awake for a while.

"Sister Ding, does this mean that that person is saved?" Chi Jingyao asked hurriedly.

"Fever gone? It's a good sign." Ding Xiaowan said.

She gave orders to the man again, and the man hurriedly responded.

Chi Jingyao couldn't hold back, and ran away with that guy, insisting on taking a look to feel relieved.

After Chi Jingyao left, Pei Yuan asked Ding Xiaowan, "You teach him medicine, do you want to take him in?"

"Ayao is very talented." Ding Xiaowan pointed to the two herbs on the table and said, "You still can't tell the difference between the tastes of these two herbs? The difference, Ayao only smelled it? Once, remember?."

"He is really smart." Pei Yuan said.

"Doctors need more than just intelligence." Ding Xiaowan said: "Look at him, he cares more about my patients than I do. When he hears that people are awake, his eyes light up."

Although Ding Xiaowan is not very old, she has a good eye for knowing people.

She could see that Chi Jingyao had a certain potential that was unique to doctors.

In fact, her judgment was not wrong. On the surface, Chi Jingyao cared so much about the man's life and death because he cared about the man's relationship with Pei Ye.But maybe even Chi Jingyao himself doesn't know, even if he meets someone who has nothing to do with him today, he probably won't stand by and watch.

It's like helping Ruan Baozi at the beginning, and then helping Pei Yuan...

Chi Jingyao can always find a reasonable excuse for everything he has done.

But in fact, he has a hundred reasons not to do these things, but he chose? The only option to do.

Like it's all taken for granted, he never considers another possibility.

Chi Jingyao followed the buddy to see it? The man glanced at it, and the other side looked much better than at noon.

Although he didn't know if it was because of the Utao Pit or the [Strengthening Body Pill], he was still very happy.

Not only because of the relationship between this person and Pei Ye, but also because watching a person come back from the edge of life and death itself is something to be happy about.

Seeing that it was getting late, Chi Jingyao didn't go back to find Pei Yuan, but went to Yaoquan.

Originally, he subconsciously wanted to take a look at it, but when he got there, he saw the monkey sitting in the medicine spring and soaking in it.

"Zhizhi." Seeing him coming, the monkey pointed to the purse on the rock next to him.

When it "traded" with Chi Jingyao before, it forgot to return the purse to Chi Jingyao.

"Brother Monkey." Chi Jingyao sat next to the monkey, put away his purse, and said, "Thank you today? You, you saved? Do you know a person's life?"

"Zhizhi." The monkey glanced at him, wondering if he understood.

"It should be said that we saved? a person's life together." Chi Jingyao said: "Although elder sister Ding contributed the most, and second brother also contributed, but we also helped? A little? A small favor."

The monkey stared at him after hearing the words. After a while, he made a "squeak" twice, as if responding to his words.

Chi Jingyao was in a good mood at the moment. Seeing the monkey sitting next to him picking his fingers boredly, he exchanged it from the mall for a sweet potato and handed it to him.The monkey hesitated for a while, as if he was concerned that he had nothing to exchange for Chi Jingyao, didn't he know whether he should take this sweet potato or not.

"For you, reward." Chi Jingyao stuffed the sweet potato into the monkey's hand.

The monkey stared at Chi Jingyao for a while, then picked up the sweet potato and took a bite.

"I'll get you something new to try." On a whim, Chi Jingyao exchanged for an egg and put it in the hot pool where the temperature was higher. Then he went back to the monkey and sat down. Said: "Wait for a while? It will be cooked soon."

The monkey came out of the medicine spring and shook the water on his body. Chi Jingyao was splashed by it and covered his whole body with water, so he quickly reached out his hand to cover his face.

The monkey "squeaked" twice, circled around Chi Jingyao a few times, and then stretched out its hand to scratch Chi Jingyao's head a few times. Look at the movement? It seemed to want to help Chi Jingyao catch lice.

Chi Jingyao has seen videos of monkeys helping each other catch lice, and knows that this is a way of expressing friendship between monkeys.

But that felt weird, and he didn't have lice, so he waved his hand at the monkey, saying no.

Seeing that he was not cooperating, the monkey sat down a little depressed.

Chi Jingyao saw that its upper body was dry while its lower body was wet, looking funny and cute.

"Brother Monkey, can I lick you?" Chi Jingyao stretched out his small hand, and made a little gesture on the monkey.

Seeing that the monkey didn't respond, and didn't seem to resist, Chi Jingyao tentatively reached out and touched it.

This monkey often comes to the hot springs. Its body is clean and its hair is very comfortable to touch.

Chi Jingyao touched its wet upper body? Twice, only to feel that the more you touch it, the more addictive it is. It feels so healing?  …

After a while, Chi Jingyao reckoned that the eggs were almost cooked, and then reluctantly got up.

He found a wooden stick and planned to get the eggs out of the hot pool.

"Let me do it." Pei Ye's voice suddenly came from behind.

"Second brother!" Chi Jingyao hurriedly stepped aside, and handed the wooden stick in his hand to Pei Ye, "I reckon you'll be back as soon as it gets dark."

Hearing the words, Pei Ye seemed to be quite pleased, and there was an unnoticeable arc on the corner of his mouth.

Little things? You can eat eggs. Can’t these eggs be cooked?

No? I have to admit that small things are good at deceiving people, and they are also good at flattering people.

"Next time, don't I? I have to make this myself." Pei Ye said to Chi Jingyao after getting the eggs out.

The water in this hot pool is too hot, and if you are not careful, you will burn yourself.

"Okay." The little thing hurriedly responded, and then walked obediently to the stone and sat down.

The monkey no longer has any regard for Chi Jingyao? He is on guard, but he is still a little afraid of Pei Ye.

When it saw Pei Ye coming, it walked over and squatted on another rock with a slightly wary expression.

Pei Ye took the egg and walked to Chi Jingyao and sat down, cracked the egg on the stone, and slowly peeled off the skin.

Chi Jingyao waited by the side, and when Pei Ye finished peeling the eggshell, he reached out to take it, and said "Thank you, second brother" in his mouth.

Pei Ye was taken aback, unable to react for a moment.

Then I saw the little thing holding the egg he just peeled, walked to another stone, and handed the egg to the monkey.

The monkey took the egg and smelled it, then tasted it carefully.

"Be careful of burning your mouth." Chi Jingyao reminded, and then made a blowing movement.

The monkey would agree and blew on the egg before stuffing it into its mouth.

At the same time, it seemed to sense a not-so-friendly gaze from the boy on the other side.

So, the monkey turned around slowly, with its back facing Pei Ye, and then began to eat the eggs.

Pei Ye: ...

The author has something to say:

Pei Ye: I have never been so speechless in my life...
