The top floor of Wangque Tower.
The secluded room is filled with fragrance and the music of the piano is lingering.
It's August, and it's extremely hot in the penal colony, but the top floor seems to be untouched by the heat, and there's a refreshing coolness all over your body.
The man has dark hair and is dressed in a moon-white flowing cloud robe. He sits in front of the guqin and gently plucks the strings. The green smoke from the incense burner in Boshan next to him is circling up along with the sound of the piano.
"Not dead? It's lucky." His voice was light and his tone was casual and perfunctory.
The spy who came to report lowered his head and said, "My subordinates have checked and found that the pharmacies in Fengyun City did not sell medicinal materials to Du Buguo, and even if they did, they were not all available. Whether it is five-color plums or poinsettias, they are poisons that are difficult to find in the world. Those who can possess them all are rare. Master, his poison has been cured in a strange way."
"That's right. He stole my treasured Seven-Star Begonia and was poisoned by the Five Poisons of Heavenly Water. He is still alive. I am also curious about how he detoxified the poison." The man played a string of piano music, high mountains and flowing water, "Post a message for Poison Buguo, Invite him to come and talk about the Magpie Tower, and ask him to bring the Seven-Star Begonia."
"This man has a perverse and unstable temperament. If the master sends an invitation to him, he may not accept the invitation."
"I'm not coming..." The man's fingertips swept between the strings, and another string of clanking sounds came out. His tone was very indifferent, "If you don't come, you won't come."
"master?"
"Can I still force him to come? I can't beat him with poison or Qinggong, and I can't break a knife with force. What can I do? Or do you have a better suggestion?" The man stopped playing the piano and slowly turned his head. , revealing a small part of his true appearance.
The facial lines are clean and neat, the nose is straight and the lips are thin. The eyes that look sideways are long, narrow and indifferent, dark and cold.
Like a snake hiding in the dark and telling its prey.
Just meeting his eyes made people shudder.
The spy immediately lowered his head and did not dare to look at him, nor did he dare to say any more words, "I accept your orders!"
Naturally, the grievances between Du Buguo and Wangque Tower are rarely spread to the ears of outsiders.
…
Baifu martial arts training ground.
The boy was wearing a white training uniform, and his small figure was walking around in the middle of the huge field. He was holding a small dagger and every move looked full of posture. However, his lower body was a little weak. In the eyes of experts, it looked more like he was chopping something to vent his anger. .
"Yu'er, you've been practicing all morning, it's time to take a rest." Beside the martial arts training ground, Ernu Bai Kui wiped his sweat with a distressed look on his face.
The sweat on his body is not from practicing martial arts, but from being tired from lowering his level to cooperate with his son's moves.
Bai Yu was panting and slashed his sword into the void again, "Hoo! Hoo! I'm not tired! When I finish practicing the thirteen poses, I'll go find that little bitch right away to avenge my shame!"
Bai Kui twitched the corner of his mouth and clapped, "Okay! My son has ambition!"
The housekeeper lowered his head, sweat dripping from his forehead, "Master, the little Su family has a lot of secrets, not to mention the mysterious masters behind it to protect them. It seems that anyone who is close to their family can be taken care of, like poison. If you don't invade, you will avoid certain death. I'm worried that if the young master goes to provoke me again - I'm afraid he will suffer a loss."
The young master went to Tubei Mountain twice and came back crying twice. Those servants like him have a shadow on Tubei Mountain.
Why is the young master getting more and more courageous the more frustrated he becomes?
The expression on Bai Kui's face remained unchanged, with a smile on his face, "You have to dare to dig out the secrets hidden underground to get the truth. If you don't even dare to use a hoe, the secret will always be a secret. What if the secret is a treasure, wouldn't it be a waste if you don't dig it out? Wouldn't it be a great benefit if the poison doesn't invade me? Butler, at your age, you are no longer as good as a little kid."
The butler lowered his head and said, "Yes."
Anyway, no matter what happens, the master of the family can always praise his son in different ways.
…
Wanjiazhuang.
Wanfu is in a good mood these days.
There is no other reason.
Du Buguo confronted Wangquelou.
Bai Xiaofeng calculated that the poison would not invade. Not only did he fail to kill the person as he wished, but he also lost a Seven-Star Begonia in vain.
"Hahaha! It's Wangque Tower's turn! No one should act rashly this time! Poison Buguo has his revenge, and Bai Xiaofeng is also a man who spends every penny. Now the confrontation between the two has just begun. All we need to do is Let's wait and see whether it will be the Poison Buguo that succumbs or the Wangque Tower that succumbs in the end. If you don't like whoever loses or wins, it will be a good thing for me at Pier 12!" Sitting in the hall, Wanfu sipped tea with a smile on his face.
Mr. Wan Liu nodded, "Both Du Buguo and Duan Dao are talented people, but it's a pity that they both refuse to accept recruitment. They usually do things of their own accord, which often gives us headaches. This time, we will stay put and watch the tiger fight from a distance."
The two uncles and nephews spoke to each other in a high-sounding way, and their brows were full of depression.
To put it bluntly, it’s just to take pleasure in one’s misfortune.
They were in trouble and lost their lives, and for a long time they became the laughing stock of others in the inner and outer cities.
Now someone will come to accompany them soon, and it is no longer just Pier 12 who is being laughed at. Thinking of this, I feel indescribable comfort and anticipation.
…
On the other side, there is Su family in Beishan.
After raising him for nearly half a month, Du Bugui has gained weight and is full of energy.
After regaining his energy, the old man took his four cubs and started running all over the mountains and plains.
He had almost trodden a path up the hill from the Su family's backyard.
"I've learned all about the terrain." In the evening meal, in the Su family's kitchen, Du Bugui said while enjoying a delicious meal, "There is a small flat slope to the south of the back mountain. The soil is more fertile than here, and it receives less light. Your house is taller. Man’s herbs must have been grown there.”
Su family, "..." What are you talking about?
Poison does not invade, "I am nicknamed Evil Doctor, also known as Poisonous Old Man. He is capable of both healing and poisoning. I am unique in the field of using medicine. I will never admit that anyone is better than me in the field of planting medicine! Jie Jie Jie Jie! So I made up my mind. Now, I’m going to snatch that piece of land away, leaving your family with no land to farm!”
"..."
Su Da endured and endured, "Mr. Du, you want to plant herbs? Don't you have to open up wasteland? Go to the south of the back mountain? It's not near the Qinghe River, how do you water it? If you really want to plant land, you can open a piece of land behind your yard. Wouldn't it be more convenient if the ground is out? The second brother and I have visited Tubeishan at least ten times. In fact, it is the same everywhere, and the land in Tubeishan is not fertile."
"Okay, you two brothers are used to farm work. Come back and help me clear out the land and plant the medicinal materials." Du Buguo didn't even think about it and took it as a matter of course.
The Su brothers wiped their faces and said the wrong thing, just to make trouble for themselves.
People like Mr. Du should not meddle in their own business.
Du Buguo didn't care what they thought. When no one was paying attention, he made eye contact with Xiao Tianbao and winked quietly.
The roundness was followed by triangular eyes that were slightly smaller, with only a slit visible when smiling.
Tianbao didn't feel ugly, tilted his little head and grinned at the old man.
Grandpa Du said that the herbs she took out must have a clear source, otherwise they would easily attract people's attention and cause trouble.
Grandpa Po was good for her, so she smiled sweetly at Grandpa Po.
Grandpa Du cannot be allowed to know that she took advantage of her young age to treat him as a sharecropper.
