Chapter 40 What the hell is Batman?
When Zhao Erniu saw that Gu Chan was silent, he felt a little worried.
He can't do medicine, but Gu Chan can. If she offends Gu Chan here, she will take Ma Zheng to do it alone. The money she sells is less, but he doesn't get a share!
Therefore, Zhao Erniu did not dare to speak too loudly, but asked cautiously, "Well, what do you think, if you don't do this, give me more points, how about we open four or six?"
"Four or six is fine! From now on, the matter of picking herbs will be left to you and your wife. Ma Zheng and I are not responsible for picking herbs." Gu Chan followed suit.
She had wanted to teach Mr. Li a lesson before, but she never had the chance.
Now that the opportunity has come, she must deal with this scheming woman severely.
Mrs. Li was blinded by the money, and didn't realize that she would be punished later. She turned around and said with a happy face, "That's it, isn't it just picking medicine? This is not a difficult task for us."
"Okay, my wife has said so, so it's settled, four or six doses, and we will be responsible for collecting medicines from now on." Zhao Erniu patted his chest and agreed.
Gu Chan nodded slightly, acting calmly.
It was her expression of emotion and anger that made it difficult for Zhao Erniu and his wife to see what she was thinking at the moment.
Gu Chan didn't say much on this issue and asked instead, "By the way, did we pick up any silver in the yard today?"
"What money?" Zhao Erniu pretended to understand.
"When I woke up in the morning, grandpa said he picked up a twenty-tael silver coin in the yard. I don't know who threw it away." Gu Chan deliberately told this.
Ma Zheng followed and shouted, "That's right! My grandma also said she picked up an ingot of twenty taels of silver this morning. How strange!"
"Did everyone pick it up?" Zhao Erniu reached out and touched his chin and whispered softly.
When he picked up the silver in the morning, he discussed with Mr. Li not to tell anyone about it.
But judging from the current situation, it seems that not only the two of them have picked up the money, but also everyone in the village has picked up the money.
Gu Chan rolled her eyes and said in a low voice, pretending to be deep, "It seems that someone also lost a piece of silver in your yard. This should be related to what I heard in the county yesterday."
"What's going on?" Zhao Erniu became interested.
"I heard yesterday that some kind of knight came to the county. He specialized in robbing the rich and giving to the poor. He was nicknamed 'Batman'. I thought he should be the one who came to the village last night to give money to each of our families. The money given by the household.”
"Oh! This is a big deal! You guys wait here, I'll go talk to the village chief and ask him to tell everyone that he must keep the matter of getting the money a secret and protect this mysterious knight." As soon as Gu Chan finished speaking, Zhao Er Niu replied hurriedly, then stood up and ran out of the house quickly to the village chief's house.
Gu Chan covered her mouth and snickered.
Ma Zheng reached out and scratched the back of his head and muttered, "What a weird name! What the hell is Batman?"
"Of course the names of the knights are very weird. Can a little kid like you understand them?" Gu Chan pretended to be serious and reprimanded.
Ma Zheng nodded and closed his mouth knowingly.
At this time, Mrs. Li suddenly looked at Gu Chan and said, "By the way, there is something I forgot to tell you."
"What's up?"
"Now everyone in the village knows that you have studied veterinary medicine and have cured my calf, so the village chief said, let me tell you, let you go and show him his old hen today. It has not laid eggs for two months," Li said with a flattering tone. Gu Chan waved her hand disdainfully, "Tell the village chief that I am not free today. I have to rush to the county office in the afternoon to deliver spiritual herbs to the county magistrate! Maybe the county magistrate will leave me for dinner or something, so how can I have time to give it to him? Is his old hen going to see a doctor?”
"Did you find the spiritual grass?" Li was surprised.
"Aren't you going to go to the mountain soon? I must find one to send over! Otherwise, I won't be beheaded? Today is the first day to send spiritual grass." Gu Chan said angrily.
Mrs. Li said with a smile on her face, "Okay, I'll go and tell the village chief at noon that when you are free, it won't be too late to go see his old hen."
Gu Chan just nodded quietly and didn't want to pay attention to Li anymore.
This scheming woman wanted to take advantage of her before, but she ended up taking advantage of her. Now she is eager to deal with Li Shi, so she is not in the mood to talk nonsense with her.
When Mrs. Li saw Gu Chan ignoring her, she could only shut her mouth in embarrassment and continue cooking.
After one stick of incense, Zhao Erniu ran back sweating profusely.
As soon as he entered the yard, he said to Mrs. Li, "Daughter-in-law, the village chief told everyone to keep the matter of picking up the money a secret. Now he has sent people to notify every household in person."
"Well, I got it. Come and have breakfast! Hurry up and go into the mountain. Today you have to collect medicinal herbs and come back to make pills to sell. I have something to do and can't go, so I can only accompany you into the mountain tomorrow." As he spoke, he put the prepared meals on the table.
Zhao Erniu came over and sat at the table, inviting Gu Chan and Gu Chan to come and have dinner.
Of course, Gu Chan was not polite. She sat down with Ma Zheng, picked up the bowl and started eating.
After eating, they took six taels of silver from Zhao Erniu and divided it into two. After giving two taels of silver to Ma Zheng, the three of them shouldered their bows and arrow baskets and went out into the mountains together.
Since he had already entered the mountain once before, Gu Chan was very familiar with it this time.
The journey along the way was uneventful and there was nothing to talk about. There was no doubt that the mountain road was rugged and not easy to walk on.
After entering the mountain forest, Zhao Erniu looked at the bow on Gu Chan's back and said, "Give me your new bow to try. I'll see if it works."
"Okay! I just want to see if you can use this new bow easily." Gu Chan replied with a sneer.
After saying that, she immediately took off the bow and handed it to Zhao Erniu.
When she was buying a bow in the weapons shop yesterday, she realized that Zhao Erniu was bragging. His bow didn't cost sixty stones at all.
Now that the opportunity has come, she has to deal with this parallel import.
Zhao Erniu didn't pay attention to Gu Chan's face. After getting her bow, he immediately got into a riding position, holding the bow in his left hand and the string in his right hand, and pulled back sharply.
But with this pull, his expression suddenly changed. Because the bow was really heavy, he only pulled it slightly. He couldn't even draw half of the bow, let alone draw the full bow.
Gu Chan laughed and said, "What's the matter, Master Erniu? You've eaten three big bowls for breakfast and you're still not full? You can't even draw a sixty-stone heavy bow? Aren't you pretty good at going into the mountains that day?"
"This shouldn't be the case! Your bow costs sixty stones, and my bow also costs sixty stones. Why is your bow so much heavier than mine?" Zhao Erniu frowned and looked at the bow in his hand. Both confused and confused.
Gu Chan and Ma Zheng looked at each other, both looking at him mockingly.
