Not bad, kid.
The next second, Xiao Liutou stretched out her hand in front of Qi Su.
"Sister, please settle today's service fee. It's 1,530 taels in total, including the entrance fee and a service fee, and we'll round it down."
I'm not in a hurry to ask you for money; I'm just worried that when you go to the underworld, you won't be able to take these worldly possessions with you."
You're really thoughtful.
Xiao Liutou's advice was:
They took a patient with a difficult-to-diagnose illness to the witch doctor for a consultation.
Her attention was drawn to the person who had taken her to the doctor, so naturally she couldn't focus on them anymore.
But in this ghost market, where can we find rare and difficult cases in such a short time?
It won't work for ordinary illnesses.
If it's too easy, she'll think you're wasting her time and will dump you on the spot.
After listening, Qi Su simply said "Oh".
"Wait here for me."
Xiao Liutou was standing there, and before he could count to one hundred, Qi Su returned.
She was dragging a man along.
He greeted him, saying, "Let's go."
This, this is...
Xiao Liu looked at the man's face.
It was swollen and oddly shaped, with a patchwork of colors in its blackness.
What's wrong with him?
Qi Su: "He's quite ill from the poisonous insects, poison, and beatings. As kind-hearted people, let's take him to the witch doctor for treatment."
Little Willow Head: ...
Wow, my sister is amazing!
You truly deserve to be called the Black Widow, who made a name for yourself on your very first day in the Ghost Market.
.
This was also Xiao Liutou's first time visiting the Medicine Tomb.
Although he always knew that place was dangerous, he valued his life and never went near it.
Along the way, the Medicine Mound got closer and closer.
The ghost market became increasingly quiet and peaceful.
Not only have the people passing by become more civilized, but the ground is also so clean that there isn't even a melon rind on it.
The medicine mound is shaped like a burial mound.
But it's much bigger than a typical earthen grave.
Several wooden doors were tightly closed, with a string of copper bells hanging outside.
On a withered tree outside the medicine mound stood a black crow, its blood-red eyes fixed on the newcomer.
Xiao Liu'er felt her legs go weak.
At this moment, the older brother who had contracted a rare disease became his talisman, and he clung to his back tightly.
Moving forward step by step.
Qi Su turned around and glanced at him.
A slight smile.
"Since you like him so much, how about I grant your wish and you two go to the doctor together?"
Little Willow darted out and reached out to pull the copper bell outside the medicine mound.
"Witch, witch, please help me!"
The bell rang for a long time before any movement came from inside.
One of the wooden doors was removed.
It was pitch black inside, and a woman was yawning as she leaned against the door.
Like a lump of soft jade, languid and lazy.
"I won't treat a living person," she said.
Xiao Liu apologized.
"Sister, look, my eldest brother is really half dead."
As he spoke, he dragged the unfamiliar man behind him to the front.
The woman looked the patient over twice.
They neither said they would treat it nor said they wouldn't.
His gaze fell on Qi Su's face, as if he had expected it all along, and he wasn't surprised to see her here.
They only asked, "Who are you? Do you have the money to pay for the consultation?"
Qi Su: "He's my older brother, and I'm rich."
The woman had a half-smile on her face.
He stepped aside to let the door open, looking at Xiao Liutou.
"You've found a good sugar daddy. Come in, your mother-in-law isn't here, it's just me."
This... Xiaoliu looked troubled.
Qi Su chimed in, "You can be here too."
She said to Xiaoliu, "You stay outside and keep watch; you don't need to come in."
Xiaoliu seemed to have her eyes twitching, giving strong hints.
Sister, didn't you say you should ask Granny Witch if you had any questions? Why are you coming in even though Granny Witch isn't here?
Qi Su responded with her eyes.
You don't understand, nothing ventured, nothing gained.
Seeing that Qi Su had made up her mind.
He grabbed Qi Su and quickly gave her a few words of advice.
This older sister was a little better-tempered than the witch, but only to a limited extent.
Don't provoke her. If she gets upset, just shower her with money.
…
We entered through that wooden door that resembled a tomb.
I walked a few steps further in.
The eerie green flames appeared from somewhere. Inside were several large stone chambers carved out of the mountainside.
The stone shelf next to the wall was crammed with all sorts of bottles and jars.
On a wooden-framed bed not far away, several experimental subjects lay, their fates unknown.
Qi Su's good older brother was thrown to the ground, and he mumbled a sound of pain.
The young witch did not look at the patient on the ground.
Instead, he pulled out a pipe from under the herb basket, lit it, and took a puff.
Then, white smoke was sprayed into the air, creating wisps of smoke.
She squinted at Qi Su.
"You've gone through all this trouble, what do you really want?"
Qi Su: "I want to buy something from Granny Wu."
What do you want to buy?
"Poison Gu".
Little Witch smiled, biting the mouthpiece of her pipe.
"For something so trivial, you don't even need to see your mother-in-law. If you can afford the price, I can sell it to you. Black Heart Gu, Heartbreak Gu, Lover Gu, it's all negotiable."
Qi Su: "I'm afraid you can't make the decision on this. The one you want to buy is a rare Gu seed, one that you probably don't even know about."
The little witch's face smiled faintly in the smoke.
"Oh, what kind of Gu? Even I don't know about it?"
Qi Su: "Chongyan Guchong".
The smile on Little Witch's face froze.
"What?"
Qi Su repeated it again.
Little Witch asked coldly, "How do you know about this kind of insect curse?"
Qi Su: "Of course I have my own methods. Otherwise, I wouldn't have found my way here."
Little Witch's expression was icy.
"There is no such thing in the Medicine Tomb. Please leave."
Qi Su: "I'll wait for Granny Wu to come back."
Little Witch: "I said no, and that's final. Or—"
Her bright red tongue flicked out from her lips and licked them.
"You want to stay in the Medicine Tomb and become my human skin drum?"
Qi Su calmly stopped her from going crazy.
“You’ve misunderstood. What I meant was that the Medicine Tomb doesn’t have such a thing, but I do. You can name a price with the witch and see if you want to buy it.”
Little Witch: ...?
You didn't expect that, did you?
Sister, I'm not here to buy goods, I'm here to sell goods.
.
Qi Su emerged from the medicine mound unharmed.
Little Witch Sister watched her leave with a cold expression.
Qi Su: "You guys need to make a decision quickly, I can't wait much longer."
The gate to the medicine mound slammed shut.
It wasn't until Qi Su was three or four zhang away from that mound of earth that Xiao Liutou reappeared, sneaking around from who-knows-where.
While observing her, he carefully kept his distance from Qi Su.
"Sister, are you alright?"
Qi Su: "What do you think?"
Little Willow: "You're not going to suddenly go berserk and pounce on any man you see, biting their necks, are you?"
I can see that.
After her trip to the Medicine Tomb, she is now, in Xiao Liutou's eyes, covered in dangerous germs.
She waved to Xiaoliu.
"You'd better come over quickly. Otherwise, who knows if you'll bite someone else? But you might really get your neck snapped."
…
Little Willow said.
The witch had been at the ghost market for a long time.
No one knows when she arrived; she's as old as the ghost market itself.
As for Sister Xiaowu, it seems she only came more than ten years ago, right?
