Chapter 131 Bearded Man's Gift
After eating and drinking his fill and relaxing, Dubuqin picked up Tianbao and flew back to his yard in a few seconds, then went into the pharmacy.
He closed the door of the pharmacy, put the baby down, and moved his hand bones. "Come on, sweet baby, it's your turn to show off your skills!"
Tian Bao straightened her back without saying anything and asked, "What do you want?"
Du Buwei almost died of laughter. He just liked the straightforwardness of the little sweet boy. It was so adorable!
"What was thrown into the river at the Twelve Piers was the most common chronic toxic ulcer powder. The detoxifying herbs were also common, such as Aconitum carmichaelii, Magnolia officinalis, Polygonum multiflorum, and Patchouli..." Du Buqin lit the oil lamp, moved the medicine-making tools down from the high shelf, and sat down on the ground opposite the little baby, the old and the young. Seeing the little baby throwing out piles of the herbs he needed, he couldn't help but twitch his mouth even though he had seen it many times.
His little sweet baby must have a herb garden!
The old man wants one too!
Eliminate!
"Ordinary herbs are easy to find, but when you need to use them continuously in large quantities, it's not easy to collect them all. That's the idea behind the Twelve Piers. As long as they can clear out just one of the herbs in the city, they can rest easy... But that was in the past, hahahaha!"
"Once you've learned how to identify herbs by smell, it's not difficult to find the herbs that can detoxify. The most difficult part is the matching ratio. One point too much of one herb, one point too little of another, will result in a failure in detoxification."
"You're still young, don't worry. We have plenty of time. Grandpa Du will teach you slowly. Watch carefully and remember Grandpa Du's method of making medicine."
Under the dim light, when the old man faced the medicinal herbs, his expression became extremely serious and solemn, completely different from his usual rebellious and crazy appearance.
Tianbao pursed her lips, listened to what Grandpa Du said, watched attentively, and remembered every word in her heart.
Time passes slowly.
The Su family knew that Du Lao was teaching Tian Bao skills again, so they did not interrupt him and even spoke and acted as quietly as possible.
Only Su An, Su Wen, Su Wu and Wei Li were standing on the other side of the pharmacy with their hands on their hips, their faces full of resentment.
Du Grandpa has forgotten about them again!
…
The Twelve Piers have been waiting for any movement from Tubei Village.
After a few days, news finally came from there, which was both within Big Beard's expectations and beyond his expectations.
"Boss, Tubei Village still draws water from the Qing River as usual!"
"Du Buqin threw a few bamboo baskets into the water near the river bank, and all the water within the bamboo baskets became drinkable!"
"I don't know how he managed to carve out a corner in the poisonous waters of the river! The bamboo basket hasn't been moved since it was thrown into the water. It's been over ten days, and the detoxification effect is still as strong as ever!"
"Our people have been keeping watch on the other side of the river. Some time ago, Tubei Village was planting trees extensively near the village entrance, claiming they were creating a miasma forest. We were worried it was a scam, so we didn't dare to get close enough to investigate!"
"Please give me some instructions, Boss!"
In the headquarters hall, a bearded man sat on a stone chair with a sullen expression and dark eyes that were difficult to discern.
Poison Invulnerable is worthy of his name. No one can match his ability in using drugs, and he has never underestimated the other party.
What surprised him was that he deliberately evacuated the personnel from the branch office along the river. According to Du Buqun's unwillingness to suffer any loss, he should have come to him long ago.
However, after so many days, the other party has not taken any other action except breaking through those branches at the beginning.
The bearded man narrowed his eyes, his expression cold and gloomy.
It was Huo Ziheng who gave Du Buqin some advice.
He slammed his palm heavily on the armrest of the stone chair, and the coldness in the bearded man's eyes grew even colder. "The plan remains the same, wait!"
He has already taken action against Tu Beishan. The other party wants to win people's hearts and establish prestige. He will definitely not just sit there and take a beating. He will definitely wait for an opportunity to counterattack.
There is no movement over there now, they are just waiting for the opportunity. Whoever loses patience will lose first.
"Come here, take this box to Broken Blade and tell him a message." The bearded man sneered, speaking each word carefully. "They think that a few of them can bring me down together. I'll give them some gifts first!"
…
Tubei Village.
The village’s water problem was solved, and the whole village became as peaceful and tranquil as before.
The villagers get up early to work and return home at dusk every day, and their laughter remains the same.
The ambush at the village entrance some time ago did not leave a shadow in the villagers' hearts. Anyway, they did not need to leave the village. If they really needed something at home, such as oil, salt, sauce, vinegar and other small items, they could just boldly ask the young master of the Bai family to bring it for them.
Du Buqin has been very well behaved these days. He hasn't run out. Whenever he has free time, he takes a few of his little ones to the medicine garden, climb the back mountain, hunt for birds and fish, and have fun.
"Grandpa Du, what kind of grass is this?"
"Heartbreak grass."
"What about this?"
"Dragon beard grass."
"What about this?"
"Saffron."
"Grandpa Du, you're lying to the kids again! These are clearly weeds, growing all over the mountain!"
"What nonsense are you talking about? Whatever I grow in my medicine garden, it has to be what I say it is! If you have the guts, you can be better at medicine than me. Then people will believe whatever you say! Humph!"
The quarrels between the old man and the children drifted out from the medicine garden from time to time, and fell into the ears of Xiao Su's family, making them laugh and cry.
"Old Du is sometimes like an old child." Old Mrs. Su sat at the door of the main hall, sewing shoe soles.
The weather will be getting cooler soon, so I'll sew the soles first and make a pair of cotton shoes for everyone in the family, young and old.
Old Man Su squatted under the eaves, chopping wood with a hatchet to make a pipe for himself. He smiled and said, "Old children, old children, isn't that right? The older people get, the younger their mentality becomes. We will be the same in the future."
From the vegetable garden, the old man's indignant voice could be heard immediately. "Who's old? Don't judge a person by their appearance! I just look old!"
The Su family's yard was silent for a moment, and then there was laughter.
Duan Dao stood in the shade of the courtyard, with the corners of his mouth curled up invisibly.
Amidst the bustle, Wang Chuan's familiar voice rang out from outside the gates of the two courtyards, "Master Broken Blade, someone has arrived from Pier 12, asking them to deliver this to you!"
The laughter stopped.
When Duan Dao walked out of the courtyard, the gate of Xiao Su's house next door also opened, and several people squeezed out.
Su Er angrily said, "Looking for Master Broken Blade at Pier 12? He definitely has bad intentions!"
Wang Chuan wiped the sweat from his forehead, his hands shaking as he handed the box over. "I was watering the trees at the village entrance when that man suddenly appeared and said he was from Wharf No. 12. I was almost scared to death!"
At that time, he almost thought he was going to die, and he panicked and swung his legs to run.
If the other party hadn't said that he had something to give to Lord Duan Dao, he would never have turned back.
Duan Dao's eyes fell on the box, which was the size of a palm, with a smooth surface without any patterns. It was a very ordinary old wooden box.
He frowned and reached out to take it, but another hand slanted out from the side and beat him to the punch. "Wait a minute, let me take a look. What good intentions does the bearded man have in giving you something? It might be filled with poison!"
Du Buqin snatched the box and ran away before opening it.
There is no poison gas, and the entire box does not contain any hidden tricks.
There was only a piece of paper in the box, with half a broken jade pendant underneath.
