With One Month Left To Live, I Raised The Young Empress To Be A Sickly Girl
Chapter 19 The Downtrodden Zhao Hu
The wheels were rolling, and carriages stopped at the gate of the courtyard. Young helpers got off the carriages.
These are the daily necessities Chen Mo bought in the imperial capital yesterday. In addition, there are also workers arranged by Uncle Fu early to come and take care of this abandoned courtyard.
After leaving all the family matters to Uncle Fu, Chen Mo took Zhang Long to the imperial capital.
In addition to daily necessities, the three Liu Wuxin girls also need to buy new clothes, as well as materials to open their veins, etc.
Inside Baicaotang
"Dude, gather all the medicinal ingredients written on this..."
Chen Mo pushed a piece of paper with the medicinal materials needed to open the pulse in front of the boy. Before the latter could speak, the shopkeeper of Baicaotang saw the third young master of the Chen family coming and ran over excitedly.
Yesterday, Chen Mo bought 800 taels of spiritual herbs and medicinal liquid here, which made him a lot of money. He came back today, and his attitude was extremely respectful.
"Since the third young master wants it, let me personally get the medicine for you..."
The shopkeeper said with a smile.
Chen Mo raised his hand to interrupt the other party, "No, just let the boy go. Shopkeeper, I have something to tell you."
The shopkeeper nodded slightly, and after sending the boy away, he said respectfully: "Young master, please feel free to ask, I will tell you everything you know."
"In the Baicao Hall, are there any Blood Withered Grass, Earth Dragon Essence, and Qiankun Fruit?"
These three are high-quality medicinal materials required for Body Refining, and are very effective in tempering the Body Refining soul, but they are difficult to obtain.
Bloodgrass has harsh growth conditions and requires the blood of Monsters to be nourished. It often appears in places where Monsters are constantly fighting.
Generally speaking, places where monsters fight endlessly are the territory of gregarious monsters, which are extremely dangerous and generally Martial Artists dare not approach them.
The growth conditions are harsh and the danger is extremely high. Bloodgrass is very rare on the market, and it is basically expensive but not commercially available.
This is true for the Blood Withered Grass alone, let alone the Earth Dragon Yuan and Qiankun Fruit behind it.
As soon as Chen Mo finished speaking, the shopkeeper immediately shook his head and said: "I have only heard a little bit about the Earth Dragon Essence and Qiankun Fruit you mentioned. As for the Blood Withered Grass, it is now available on the market for ten thousand taels per plant, but I have a hundred The Cottage still can't find the supply, and the cost of obtaining it is too high, and ordinary Martial Artists don't dare to take the risk. But if the third young master wants it, I will help you pay attention."
"Then I'll help the shopkeeper"
Chen Mo was a little disappointed. He was already confused about the path of Body Refining. Unexpectedly, he couldn't even take the first step.
Not long after, the boy took out some medicinal materials and gave them money. Chen Mo was about to leave when he bumped into an acquaintance.
Zhao Hu
At this moment, Zhao Hu has taken off his official uniform, and there are still some scars on his body, which were left from the battle with the thieves last night.
Realizing that Chen Mo was also in Baicaotang, Zhao Hu was startled for a moment, then he clasped his fists and saluted respectfully, "Third Young Master."
“No need to be polite”
Chen Mo waved his hand, frowned slightly, looked at Zhao Hu, and asked with concern: "Zhao Hu, are your injuries okay?"
Zhao Hu shook his head, "It's all skin injuries, it's not a problem. I'm just here to help people get some medicine."
After saying that, a trace of hesitation flashed across Zhao Hu's face, and he looked at Chen Mo with evasive eyes and hesitated to speak.
"Is something wrong?"
Zhao Hu's strange behavior made Chen Mo a little confused, but when the former heard this, he quickly shook his head and denied it, and he did not continue to ask.
Chen Mo took out a hundred taels of silver notes from his pocket and handed it directly to Zhao Hu, "Thanks to your help yesterday, this is for you."
Zhao Hu stared at the one hundred taels of silver notes, his eyes widened, and he swallowed unconsciously, but in the end he waved his hand and refused, "If it hadn't been for the third young master last night, my sister's life would have been in danger. Besides, , I take action against those guys, it is my duty, how can I let the third young master spend money, Zhao deserves these banknotes."
"Just take it, you don't have to be polite to me."
Chen Mo directly stuffed the banknote into Zhao Hu's arms, turned around and left Baicaotang.
Zhao Hu pinched the banknote in his arms and pondered for a moment with a complex expression. Then he bought some medicinal materials with the boy and hurried to West Street.
Walking through the old streets, Zhao Hu came to a dilapidated wooden house. Before he entered, there was a coughing sound inside.
Zhao Hu took a deep breath and knocked on the door. After a while, a girl in simple clothes opened the wooden door and saw the person coming, with a sweet smile on her face, "Brother, you are back."
The girl's name is Zhao Qingling, she is Zhao Hu's sister, and she was the one who was rescued by Chen Mo last night.
Zhao Qingling glanced at the medicinal materials in Zhao Hu's hand, and a flash of joy flashed in her eyes, "Brother, have you collected enough money to buy the medicinal materials? Great, my mother's illness can be cured."
"Take the medicine and fry it. Also, take the money and hide it. Don't let the old man steal it again."
"Brother, where did you get this much money? Didn't you say that you have been dismissed?"
Last night, because her mother was seriously ill, Zhao Qingling ran outside the city to find Zhao Hu. She originally brought some money back, but unexpectedly, she was kidnapped on the way. The money fell on the road and could not be found.
As for Zhao Hu, he was almost imprisoned for leaving his post without permission. He was dismissed because he redeemed himself by killing a thief on the way.
"Brother, you can't be..."
Zhao Qingling suddenly remembered what happened this morning. She frowned and said solemnly: "Promise to the second young master of the Chen family. Brother, we can't do that kind of thing. You were a headhunter before. How could you do the business of buying and killing people?" , Furthermore, that third young master is my savior. If it weren’t for him, I would have been kidnapped by thieves last night. How could you repay kindness with hatred...".
"Qing Ling, I didn't promise the second young master. This money was given by the third young master."
Zhao Hu shook his head and admitted that when Chen Guang came to see him this morning, he was indeed moved.
At home, his mother was seriously ill, his father was a gambler, and his huge family fortune was ruined. Zhao Hu was desperate and came up with the idea of working for Chen Guang.
Fortunately, he resisted the temptation in the end.
"Son, please save your father."
At this moment, a trembling voice broke the moment of silence.
A middle-aged man in tattered clothes came tremblingly, his face covered with scars.
Zhao Tian
Zhao Hu's gambling father, the father who ruined all the Zhao family's property.
"Silver, a lot of silver"
Seeing the silver in Zhao Qingling's hand, Zhao Tian rushed over like crazy. Seeing this, Zhao Hu held his shoulder with one hand and threw him to the ground.
"Zhao Hu, you are so presumptuous. I am your father, and you treat me like this. Do you know that if I hadn't sent you to learn martial arts in the early years and given you the money to open your veins and enter the Tao, you would have achieved what you have now? Now you are so powerful. , you have forgotten your roots and dare to hit me even your father? "
Zhao Tian got up from the ground and angrily pointed at Zhao Hu's nose and cursed. The latter had no fists in his hands and lowered his head feebly, not daring to refute.
"Dad, this money is reserved for mother's medical treatment. I can't give it to you for gambling anymore."
Seeing Zhao Tian coming to grab the money, Zhao Qingling tightly protected him in his arms.
"Little girl, you dare to disobey me? Your mother is so ill. Even if she is cured, she won't live for a few years. Why don't you give me a try? Maybe you can give me Zhao Family's family fortune." Come back, if you dare to stop me from getting rich again, believe it or not, I will sell you to a brothel."
As soon as Zhao Tian finished speaking, a huge fist immediately hit his back, knocking him off his feet.
"Even if you are my father, you can't sell Qing Ling. She is my sister. If you dare to say such things again, I will beat you to death."
Zhao Hu's voice was fierce, and at that moment, his eyes were filled with murderous intent.
Zhao Tian was so frightened that his hair stood on end, but he thought that he was Zhao Hu's biological father. No matter what, he would not be able to commit such a treasonous act as patricide, and then said in a cold voice: "I can't sell Qingling, but you I must help the second young master of the Chen family."
"No, brother, you can't help."
"Shut up, stinky girl"
Zhao Tian shouted coldly, then looked at Zhao Hu, his voice softened, "I owe a gambling debt of three thousand taels. If I don't pay it back, they will kill me; Zhao Hu, you don't want me to be beaten alive." Die; even if you don't think about me, you still think about your mother and your sister. The second young master said that as long as the matter is completed, not only will the gambling debt be paid off, but we will also be rewarded with a thousand taels of silver; Zhao Hu, you Now I am the only pillar of my Zhao Family, but I can’t just watch my Zhao Family be ruined like this.”
