Old Sun refilled his pipe with tobacco, squinted his eyes, and took a puff.
Everyone naturally realized that this was a deliberate ploy to keep them in suspense and get a reward.
The chivalrous figures of the martial world were naturally generous, throwing copper coins and silver coins at the grandfather and grandson from afar.
If you throw it steadily onto the table, you'll get a cheer; but if it falls to the ground and makes a loud thud, you'll be ridiculed by heroes.
Although both Old Man Sun and Little Red Sun were prominent members of the Sun family, they were very dedicated and quickly bowed to thank everyone for the meager tips they received.
Then Sun Xiaohong said, "Grandpa, stop keeping me in suspense and tell me!"
Old Sun knocked out the ashes from his cigarette and said, "Shangguan Jin Hong knows very little about Young Master Murong, so he can't be completely confident, but he can come and take a look first."
"Take a look, and you'll be more confident."
Everyone burst into laughter upon hearing this.
Li Xunhuan agreed with his point of view, saying, "This old man is quite interesting."
Murong Fu nodded and said, "He should be rewarded."
Then, with a flick of his finger, a gold ingot traced a graceful parabola and landed steadily in the center of the table between the grandfather and grandson, without the slightest wobbling.
Everyone cheered in unison, and Sun Xiaohong quickly took the gold ingot into her hand.
"Grandpa, it's gold," Sun Xiaohong said with a bit of pride. "That young master is quite generous."
Old Man Sun said calmly, "He is Murong Fu."
"Huh?" Sun Xiaohong didn't expect to talk about it for so long in front of the person in question, and complained, "Grandpa, you didn't even tell me."
Old Man Sun said, "Isn't that already telling you?"
Sun Xiaohong gazed at Murong Fu's profile as he walked to the counter and couldn't help but say, "No wonder...this young master is so handsome."
She spoke softly, but Old Man Sun beside her heard her clearly and sighed imperceptibly.
Murong Fu, who had just been talking to the shopkeeper, suddenly turned around and smiled at Sun Xiaohong.
People say that Yang Guifei's smile was captivating.
But in Sun Xiaohong's opinion, Yang Guifei's smile was definitely not as captivating as Murong Fu's smile when he turned around, making her heart pound.
Is this what it means to have your heart flutter?
Sun Xiaohong suddenly had this thought, and then she saw Murong Fu wave his sleeve, making the wine jars on the cabinet disappear one by one.
It is disappearance, a complete and utter disappearance.
"That's a hidden treasure within a sleeve." Old Man Sun's voice rang in Sun Xiaohong's ears. "Murong Fu demonstrated it in front of everyone at Xingyun Manor, casually conjuring up a box of gold."
"Hmm... your gold ingot might be one of those in that box."
Sun Xiaohong put the gold ingot into her arms and watched Murong Fu's departing figure, lost in thought.
Li Xunhuan, holding a bottle of wine, walked out of the tavern with Murong Fu and asked, "Aren't you going to hear a story?"
Murong Fu said, "There will be more stories in a few days."
Come with me to the pharmacy.
Following Murong Fu's gaze, Li Xunhuan saw a pharmacy on the street corner. Although he didn't know what medicine he needed, Li Xunhuan didn't ask and followed Murong Fu inside.
Not long after, Murong Fu had his servant prepare the medicine.
On the spot, the shop assistant was asked to boil a pot of soup over a high flame, with three bowls of water reduced to one bowl. During this time, Murong Fu and Li Xunhuan drank it again at the pharmacy stall.
The combination of the bitterness of the herbs and the spiciness of the wine gave Li Xunhuan a novel experience.
"I have never taken medicine with alcohol before."
As Li Xunhuan spoke, he drank a large bowl of wine, "It really has a unique flavor."
Murong Fu said, "Let alone medicine, as long as there's wine, you could probably enjoy it in an outhouse or a mass grave."
Li Xunhuan smiled and nodded, then drank another bowl.
At this moment, the shopkeeper came to Murong Fu's side and brought him a bowl of medicine. He also gave him two large bags of pre-packaged medicine, saying, "Sir, your medicine is ready."
Li Xunhuan asked, "What kind of medicine is this?"
Murong Fu placed it in front of him and said, "It's for treating tuberculosis."
Seeing Li Xunhuan's startled expression, Murong Fu said, "It's impossible for you to quit drinking. Just drink one dose of medicine every day."
At least it'll stop you from coughing so much, it's annoying.
Aside from drinking, fighting, and sleeping, Li Xunhuan might cough at other times.
When he coughed, Li Xunhuan felt as if his lungs and even his entire chest were about to burst open, which made everyone around him feel distressed.
But Li Xunhuan didn't expect Murong Fu to prescribe medicine for him, and he couldn't help but feel a little touched. He looked at Murong Fu with teary eyes.
Murong Fu said irritably, "What are you staring at me for? Hurry up and drink."
.
Li Xunhuan paused for a moment, then took a sip of the medicine and unconsciously frowned.
Upon seeing this, Murong Fu smiled and said, "I didn't expect you to be afraid of hardship."
Li Xunhuan said, "I'm not afraid, I just don't like it."
He then drank the medicine in one gulp, and quickly picked up a wine jar next to him to pour wine, drinking a bowl of it down his throat.
After Li Xunhuan finished drinking, Murong Fu had already put both large bags of medicine into his personal space.
The two went up the mountain one after the other.
The monks they encountered on the way were astonished to find that Li Xunhuan and Murong Fu had actually come up from the foot of the mountain.
They had been informed beforehand that Li Xunhuan was not allowed to leave the mountain, but they didn't know where the oversight had gone.
Li Xunhuan returned to his bamboo house, and Murong Fu returned to his bamboo house.
As soon as the door was opened, the heat from inside rushed out, while the cold wind from outside pierced in.
Blue Scorpion, still half asleep, looked at Murong Fu as he entered, then lifted the blanket covering him, revealing his cotton-padded jacket.
"How long did I sleep?"
Murong Fu glanced at his wrist subconsciously, and realizing he didn't have a watch, said, "One hour."
Blue Scorpion, seeing Murong Fu reeking of alcohol, asked, "You and Li Xunhuan have been drinking until now?"
Murong Fu said, "I just came up from the foot of the mountain. I've finished all the wine I drank these past few days."
Blue Scorpion smiled knowingly upon hearing this, a hint of schadenfreude in his expression.
Suddenly, she saw a package being thrown at her. Instinctively, she slapped it, and it landed on Murong Fu's bed.
"That's the medicine I prescribed for you."
Seeing that Lan Xiezi was taken aback after hearing his words, Murong Fu continued, "Your skin is rough because your kidneys aren't very good. I've prescribed some medicine for you to nourish them."
After hearing this, Blue Scorpion looked at the medicine packet lying on the wrinkled bedding and muttered, "You're the one with kidney problems."
Murong Fu said calmly, "Those who have used it all say it's excellent; it has a great reputation."
One packet each time, simmered over a low-heat fire for one hour, using five bowls of water to reduce to one bowl of medicine.
Blue Scorpion had never encountered a man who cared about her health before. After hesitating for a moment, she glanced at Murong Fu and said, "Won't drinking this affect your ability to drink other things?"
Murong Fu asked, "What's wrong? Are you afraid you won't act recklessly after drinking?"
Blue Scorpion said, "Do I, Blue Scorpion, need to be drunk to act recklessly?"
Murong Fu said with a half-smile, "It's hard to say."
