Chapter 20: You Deserve to Be Beaten for Being Disrespectful to Your Elders



It seemed that the old man was very angry with her.

She deserves it. It was the other party who provoked her first.

Shen Qiqi stood there motionless and steady as a rock, not at all afraid of the murderous-looking sword in the goatee's hand - what was there to be afraid of? The old man was just bluffing and would never dare to take action seriously.

Because this is the contact point set up by the Jiang family.

Who dares not to give face to the Jinyang Jiang family, which ranks first in strength among the five major families?

Sure enough, the man with the goatee had been holding the sword raised for a long time, pretending to be ready. But when the other doctors persuaded him, he immediately stepped down, sheathed the sword, and snorted coldly, "Hmph, I won't argue with an uneducated girl like you."

Shen Qiqi also sneered: "Are you afraid, or are you too shameless?"

No matter how you answer this question, it's wrong. It's a death sentence.

The goatee was so angry that his eyes bulged out and he almost died on the spot.

Unfortunately, Huo Lian remained motionless this time.

It seems that the other party is old and can no longer bear the anger.

Seeing that there was no more wool to be plucked, Shen Qiqi was too lazy to pay attention to the goatee anymore. She leaned against the wall with her arms folded and closed her eyes to rest.

The man with the goatee was still swearing to his companions, "Just wait and see. Sect Leader Jiang will definitely ignore such an uneducated and arrogant person like her..."

Before he finished speaking, he saw the old man from the Jiang family quickly come out of the inn, walk straight to Shen Qiqi, bow and say: "Let the young lady know that the conditions proposed by the young lady have been agreed by the head of our family."

The words that Goatbeard hadn't finished speaking got stuck in his throat. He felt a burning pain on his old face. In extreme shock, he actually struggled to provide a wave of nutrients for the fire lotus.

The second petal of the first layer is 30% open.

Shen Qiqi raised the corner of her mouth.

The old man from the Jiang family continued, "This is a life and death agreement. Once you sign it, you can leave for Jinyang immediately."

"good."

Shen Qiqi signed the petition without hesitation.

After the old man confirmed that everything was correct, he gestured to her, "Miss, please."

He then made the same gesture to the other doctors: "Everyone, please come in too."

Shen Qiqi didn't find this strange.

Her age is there. Even if she signed a life and death agreement, the Jiang family would not dare to pin all their hopes on her alone. She can understand this mentality and is willing to understand it.

Fortunately, the Peng bird is large enough to easily accommodate three or five people at a time.

It's just that it's a bit lonely at the top.

There were five people in the group. Except for Shen Qiqi, the rest of them were not in their seventies or eighties, but they were all grandparents. Their faces were blue and purple from the cold, and the sound of their teeth chattering went straight into Shen Qiqi's ears.

Shen Qiqi frowned, thought for a moment, and then her consciousness flashed into the Wuwang space. She pulled out a few Fire Spirit Grasses and put them in her arms. She first handed one to the gray-clothed old woman sitting next to her: "Grandma, this thing can drive away the cold."

This is the old lady who just advised her not to be greedy.

Although the old man's words were not very pleasant, Shen Qiqi could feel kindness in his eyes.

Give me mulberry and elm, and I will give you peaches and plums in return.

This is Shen Qiqi's principle of doing things.

The old woman in gray looked at the unremarkable thin grass in Shen Qiqi's hand, and did not take it immediately. Instead, she looked at her strangely.

Just when Shen Qiqi thought the other party would refuse, he took it with a smile, thanked her again, and then rolled the grass into the shape of a pill, stuffed it into his mouth, and swallowed it.

Shen Qiqi: “…”

Shen Qiqi bit her lip, and two blushes appeared on her fair little face.

A qualified doctor would never let a patient eat herbs directly - the doctor would refine the herbs into pills.

No wonder the old woman in gray was staring at her with such a strange look just now.

Shen Qiqi said embarrassedly: "I'm sorry, mother-in-law, I don't know how to make pills yet, so I can only...well, I can only make do with this for now."

She looked at the few remaining Fire Spirit Grasses in her hand.

The gray-clad old woman uttered an "Ah," worry flashing in her eyes. She was about to say something when a voice suddenly interrupted with a sneer, "Hmph! In my entire life, this is the first time I've heard of a doctor who can't make an elixir. They're so incompetent, yet they dare to take down a notice seeking a doctor. They're truly overestimating their abilities."

There's that goatee again.

It never ends.

Shen Qiqi looked at the gray beard on the other person's chin and resisted the urge to pull it off.

But Shen Qiqi didn't give the other party a good face. Her eyes rolled around and a plan came to her mind.

She had originally prepared a fire spirit grass for Goatbeard, but it seemed unnecessary.

Shen Qiqi sneered: "What does it have to do with you whether I can make pills or not? Do I eat your rice or drink your water? Besides, who can you blame for your ignorance? You are disrespectful to the elderly."

"You!" His goateed chest puffed out with anger. He swung his sleeves and sneered, "Hmph, sharp-tongued! I don't even bother to pay attention to you!"

"Okay, then please remember what I said now, and don't ask me for this later."

Shen Qiqi shook the few remaining Fire Spirit Grasses in her hand.

The old woman in gray, whose teeth had stopped chattering, saw the two of them fighting again and tried to persuade them to stop.

Unfortunately, I was a step too late.

The goateed man raised his chin and said arrogantly, "Hmph, just a few weeds, do you think I'd care about them?"

"It's up to you whether you like it or not."

Shen Qiqi looked at the remaining three doctors.

This time, before she could speak, the old woman in gray hurriedly said, "What the girl said is right. This thing does have the effect of dispelling cold. You may want to give it a try."

I was afraid that if I spoke too slowly, a second goatee would appear.

What a kind old lady.

Shen Qiqi thought to herself.

She glanced at the old woman in gray, and imitated what she had done just now, rolling out three grass balls.

Three small, not-so-pretty balls of grass lay quietly in the girl's fair palms.

The three doctors didn't hesitate. After thanking her, they each picked up a pill and put it in their mouths. They were all doctors, so they naturally noticed the change in the gray-robed old woman's expression.

Although this little grass ball may not look very attractive, it is indeed very effective in keeping away the cold.

Goatee also saw it - but it was too late. The heroic words he had just spoken were still hanging in the air. Wouldn't it be embarrassing to give in now?

I can only grit my teeth and endure it.

When they arrived at the Jiang family in Jinyang, Shen Qiqi and the others all looked rosy and lively, but Goatbeard's face was frozen blue and purple, and he stumbled when he walked, and fell flat on his face.

The goatee, which had been wet by the mist and then frozen into a stiff tuft, was broken off in pieces.

The Jiang family had already sent people to wait in front of the door. As soon as the few people landed, servants came to greet them. Without any greetings, they directly took the group to the courtyard where the young master Jiang lived.

When she was still several feet away from the yard, Shen Qiqi heard a scream coming from inside.

There was also the sound of a woman crying.

It seems that Sect Master Jiang has been poisoned again.
