Chapter 323: Yotsuba screams "And I took more than one serving of two...
"And you should take more than just one or two servings of this kind of strange food for a long time. However, you have been taking strange food one after another, and there are many wood-attributed ones among them. And you should have taken green pine seeds as well. In this way, when you break through now, you only need to take some other strong strange food."
Zhu Hui paused and then added:
Ye Lu listened silently to Zhu Hui's instructions. He understood that Zhu Hui meant well.
"Thank you." His friendship with Zhu Hui is deeper than Ban Lan. He and Ban Lan may have some friendship, but the relationship between him and Zhu Hui can only be expressed with the two simple words "thank you".
Zhu Hui naturally also values their relationship. Otherwise, Dragon Blood Grass is a strange food that requires time, manpower, and material resources, and its consumption method is specific. It is obvious that Zhu Hui found it specifically for Ye Lu. If it were someone else, Zhu Hui would definitely not waste so much time.
Zhu Hui also smiled, waved his hands cheerfully, and said, "As long as you are satisfied."
"By the way, did Banlan bring anything when he came here?" Zhu Hui seemed to suddenly remember something, and raised his head to ask Ye Lu and the Ghost Scholar.
The ghost scholar's brows twitched slightly.
Ye Lu also seemed to realize something, his expression was a little strange.
"I gave you the Guizhu."
"How much?" Zhu Hui asked calmly as if he had expected it.
"Fifty thousand." The ghost scholar replied from the side.
"Fifty thousand?" Zhu Hui seemed to be thinking about something, and after a mental estimate, he said, "It seems that he has given you all the strange beads in his hand. Don't worry, you can take them. There are many strange plants on your mountain. In addition to the two strange plants that accompany Lord Chongshan, they will definitely be promoted when Lord Chongshan is promoted. When the strange warriors break through, it is easy to attract strange energy. At that time, other strange plants on the mountain may also be promoted. The promotion of strange plants requires strange beads as a supplement. It is not a bad thing to keep some."
"You can never have too many Guizhu, let alone at such a critical moment."
"Ban Lan probably thought the same, which is why she left so much for you."
After listening to Zhu Hui's words, Ye Lu smoothly and normally understood the logic of the merchants in Shizhu Village. In essence, it was similar to his previous guess. They were worried that they would fail to break through due to insufficient strange beads, that their companion strange plants would fail to be promoted due to insufficient strange beads, and even more worried that all the strange plants on the mountain would be promoted.
"I understand." Ye Lu nodded and said, "Thank Chief Banlan for me."
"What are you thanking me for?" Zhu Hui waved his hand in disdain and said, "It's not like you don't want to return it. Isn't the reason why he ran away now because he was worried that you would say thank you to him? You just need to succeed in the breakthrough, which is better than any thank you."
"A Lu, when are you going to be promoted?" Zhu Hui asked Ye Lu.
Ye Lu already had a plan in mind, and Zhu Hui was not a stranger. Since he asked, he answered very straightforwardly: "After picking all the fruits on the laurel tree, I will let you take them away. Let the laurel tree rest for a while. After a good rest, I should be able to go into seclusion. My two companion plants will stop blooming and bearing fruits by then, and will fully assist me in starting my seclusion and breakthrough."
"As for the time, it will be about one month." Ye Lu calculated it in his mind and after a while gave an accurate date.
Zhu Hui frowned when he heard this: "One? Month later?"
"Then I guess I can't stay in Chongshan any longer." Zhu Hui said helplessly, "I still have some strange food transactions that happen to be in that time period, and I can't break the agreement."
In fact, Zhu Hui had already prepared himself in his heart. He knew exactly why Banlan left. He was an old rival of Banlan's caravan and he knew a lot about the routes of Banlan's caravan. Now that Banlan could not stay, he must have had a similar reason as him. It was probably because they both could not violate the agreed upon transaction of strange food.
Ye Lu could understand that, judging from their trade with the two caravans, the two caravans had never violated the agreement since they met. Note that it was not once, which showed how much the merchants in Shizhu Village abided by the agreement.
In fact, Chongshan didn't really need Zhu Hui to be there, he just asked for the sake of their friendship.
Ye Lu nodded and said, "You go and get busy first."
Zhu Hui turned around and said goodbye.
Ye Lu watched Zhu Hui's back disappear at the foot of the mountains. Seeing Zhu Hui's back revealing a sense of urgency, he suddenly felt something was wrong, but he couldn't tell what was wrong for the time being.
"........" Ye Lu suddenly thought of a familiar feeling, and suddenly raised his head to look at the ghost scholar and said: "Ah Gui, go down the mountain and see if anything happened."
The ghost scholar thought the same thing as Ye Lu.
Before the ghost scholar could get down the mountain, a figure rushed up the mountain in a hurry.
Soon, this tall and agile figure like a large beast stopped hastily at the mountain pass. It was Siye. When Siye saw Ye Lu and the Ghost Scholar, he immediately smiled with relief, and then said hurriedly: "Two mountain masters, I don't know why Zhu Bai from the Zhuhui caravan suddenly sent 50,000 ghost beads to me. I refused, but Zhu Bai turned around and left. He also said that it was their leader's intention. If you want to refuse, go to the leader directly. He is a member of the caravan and cannot express his opinion."
Siye already knew that Lord Chongshan did not want the caravan's ghost pearl. To be more precise, he did not want to owe anyone a favor when he was promoted and broke through. After hearing Zhu Bai's words, and seeing that Zhu Bai had an expression that said, "I said so, I don't have the final say," she simply gritted her teeth and went straight up the mountain.
"Where is Chief Zhuhui?" Siye turned around to look for someone.
"He left a long time ago." Ye Lu finally understood why Zhu Hui looked so anxious when he left. He was probably expecting that Ye Lu would not accept him.
"No wonder only Lu Hui is by his side this time. I thought Zhu Bai was busy with other caravan affairs." Ye Lu put the things together and thought about Zhu Hui's behavior, feeling a little amused. He didn't know whether Zhu Hui was preparing for a rainy day or knew Lu Hui's character very well, or whether the two merchants from Shizhu Village had a tacit understanding.
When faced with the possibility of his rejection, the two people unexpectedly made the same choice.
Now that I think about it, Zhu Bai is really a good candidate.
Compared to Luhui's somewhat docile personality, which can't convince Siye at first glance, Zhubai and Zhuhui's somewhat difficult posture, on the contrary, are attacking Siye. Look, Siye was fooled by Zhubai to go up the mountain, right? This time, Zhubai is probably gone down the mountain.
"The Colorful Caravan gave 50,000 Ghost Pearls, and the Vermilion Gray Caravan also gave 50,000 Ghost Pearls. If I didn't know that they couldn't give us a heads-up in advance, I would have thought that the two caravans had discussed it beforehand." After hearing this, the Ghost Scholar silently complained behind Ye Lu's back. Obviously, his thoughts were probably similar to Ye Lu's just now.
Do the merchants in Shizhu Village really have peculiar racial characteristics?
"As for Siye..." After the ghost scholar finished speaking, he looked at Siye who looked so warm and gentle when she smiled. The young man opposite him paused when he heard the ghost scholar calling out his name. Then, as if he had expected what would happen, his droopy eyes drooped even more, and he looked pitiful, a bit like a large dog who knew he had made a mistake and was whimpering and begging for mercy.
Almost everyone who sees Yotsuba at this moment will have this illusion, and it is difficult not to be soft-hearted.
It's a pity that the ghost scholar of the village is very cold and ruthless. He announced ruthlessly: "Yotsuba is still weak in this aspect. You need to train more in the future."
"Ahhhh, Master Gui of the Mountain, I know I was wrong." Siye screamed in an attempt to save himself from the tragic future that he could see with his own eyes. In fact, he had a premonition in his heart as early as when he came to the mountain without seeing Chief Zhuhui, but when he really heard it, he couldn't help struggling in his heart. Really, he couldn't do it anymore. He already had so many things on his head. He had to do and learn so much, really so much.
Yotsuba made a bitter face.
Ye Lu looked at the chaos in front of him with a smile on his face. Actually, Siye's strength was not bad. It could be seen from the fact that everyone described him as a large beast. No matter how gentle and honest he looked, he was still a large beast. He just had a good character, but he was never lacking in strength.
Ye Lu was not surprised that Siye was fooled by Zhu Bai. Siye was essentially a little slow in dealing with this kind of thing. He always felt that if a person was a good person, then he was a good person. Most of the time he cheated with his intuition and appearance. Many powerful tricksters looked at people they liked or disliked. Coincidentally, most people liked Siye. How could such a Siye be a match for Zhu Bai, who had been dealing with all kinds of people in the caravan for many years?
What made Ye Lu happy was that Siye soon discovered something was wrong.
This is a very good point, which shows that Yotsuba herself is very sensitive.
Of course, Ye Lu also agreed with the ghost scholar's words. He still needed to be trained. After all, he would be the next generation to be in charge of He Village, and Ye Lu did not want to see He Village defeated by the next generation.
"Then the things I'm doing can be handed over to little Siye one by one." Ye Lu said something more devastating to Siye in a light voice, and he was smiling as he spoke.
When Siye heard this, she begged for mercy: "Uncle Lu, I can't do it, at least not now."
Siye was so frightened that she didn't even call him Lord Chongshan by his honorific title, but instead called him by his private name. After all, Siye and Ye Lu were related by blood, so calling him that could be considered as a act of pampering by a junior.
"......." Ye Lu's smile deepened as he listened. He acknowledged his identity as a He villager, and naturally acknowledged his juniors. As an elder, he would naturally be happy to hear the juniors begging for mercy in a coquettish manner.
The ghost scholar heard Siye's series of actions, and each step was very good, which could be said to be controlling the elders. At least Brother Lu was controlled by this kid's series of actions. He complained with a cold face: "You are just cheating, why didn't you come out just now?"
"Forget it, Agui." Ye Lu had become completely biased at this point, and the first thing he did was to comfort his brother.
The ghost scholar wanted to roll his eyes and say that Brother Lu spoiled the child too much, but he met Siye's pitiful look and almost got angry.
The ghost scholar couldn't hold back for a long time, and laughed and scolded: "Forget it this time, Chongshan's affairs can be handed over to you slowly, and wait for you to train people you approve of. As for what I just said about guessing people's hearts and playing tricks, you still can't save the trouble, understand?"
Siyesong breathed a sigh of relief. At least a large part of it had been pushed back. Hearing what Master Agui said, he nodded quickly and said sincerely: "I know, I know, I will definitely study hard."
