I Became an Old Man in My Leisure Time

Chapter 147: Tiangong Appears in Qujiang Mansion

(This is a rare recommendation, Lao Bing is asking for more updates. Please subscribe)

A few days later, April of the 512th year of Dawu arrived. ReadМ

On the night of the first day of the new year, Gu Ke chose to go out early.

This time, the first thing is to choose the character card. The two cards of Shennong and Tiangong are juxtaposed and shining brightly.

Without thinking, I chose the Tiangong character card, and then went to the directional stall. The key words were the East and large cities with a large population.

The system randomly arrived at Qujiang Mansion on Tiannan West Road in Nanye Country.

Gu Ke had always wanted to go directly to the Zhongting Divine Capital, and the capitals of the Four Kingdoms were okay.

But that's not called orientation, it's fixed point. Level 5 roadside stalls don't support such exaggerated functions.

I was complaining in my heart, but my eyes were already covered with flowers, and I appeared in a roadside stall.

He lowered his head and looked at himself, and found that he was the same as the character card, a tall and majestic man with exploding muscles... an old man with a white beard.

He has a Chinese-character face, a square mouth and a broad nose, ringed eyes and tiger beard, and a rough and sturdy temperament. He looks as if he is about to hit a hammer on the head at any moment.

System baby, you just don’t want a beautiful woman to commit herself to me in this life and just be a cow and a horse in the next life, right? He couldn't help but curse.

He casually picked up the lantern and the trading book, which turned into the word "work". Then he looked at the three women, who were also checking each other's new looks.

Shennong took three village girls with him, and Tiangong took with him the handyman and servant girl.

As a result, they had a black leather apron on their bodies and sleeves of the same material on their forearms.

He was still wearing the same coarse linen clothes, and his appearance had not changed.

This reminded Gu Ke of the waiters in the small restaurant in his previous life. They swept the floor, collected dishes and wiped tables, served dishes and meals, and collected money to package them.

Their ages range from their teens to their fifties, they are tall, short, fat and thin, black and white, beautiful and ugly, with no rules.

The only thing that is the same is that they have to do everything.

The two children had no objections to this new look, it was pretty much the same anyway.

There was obviously some disgust on Sister Bai's face - not because she was dirty, but because she thought the leather apron was too ugly.

But it’s given to me by the system, so there’s nothing I can do about it.

Having been out at the stall many times, the four of them have already divided their work.

When Gu Ke took the lantern, the two boys looked at each other's new looks and walked towards the door.

When he reached the door, they just opened it.

Bai Suqing went straight upstairs.

The two young children need to practice their magic skills, and Gu Ke needs to... ah, no, guide the guests.

As the number one expert in the valley, she is a monster-killing machine with no need for emotions. She usually doesn't show up, let alone take action.

Otherwise, the two children would have no training goals, and Gu Ke would be easily robbed of his limelight.

The system regarded her and Gu Ke as one by default, but two people were different from one person after all.

Just like a certain star's concert, if you invite a super star, it will inevitably take away part of the audience's attention, and it will be difficult to get trending searches.

Opening the door, he jumped up to the bamboo pole on the roof, hung a lantern with the word "work" and a trading book, and let the white and golden light shine in a radius of more than a hundred feet, but Gu Ke frowned.

Within the range of spiritual perception, there is a large flowing river next to the city of Qujiang Prefecture. An iron cable bridge connects the two banks. There are many buildings along the river and many residents.

But many of them have weak vitality and are even gradually disappearing.

After paying a little attention, he roughly understood the reason - a plague broke out in Qujiang Mansion half a month ago. Some people had vomiting and diarrhea, and soon fell to the ground and spread to more people.

The government and various major forces have made efforts and sent a letter of request for help to the manager of Tiannan West Road.

As the scale of the plague continued to expand, measures such as quarantine, curfew, and restrictions on the movement of residents in various districts of the city were also used one by one.

But these measures only slowed down the spread of the plague, but it was still spreading.

Of the hundreds of thousands of residents in the city, 20% died and 30 to 40% contracted the plague.

Families with some wealth and connections went out one after another, away from the city, and went to distant villages and towns to escape.

Although plagues occasionally occur in those places, they are much safer than Fucheng.

A few days ago, the army assigned by the military envoy arrived and completely sealed off the city. But now, less than half of the people in the city are still alive.

With a sweep of his mind, Gu Ke discovered that there was something strange about the so-called "plague" on these residents, which ordinary people and even second-round warriors might not be able to detect.

However, with the cooperation of spiritual thoughts and nature, the "plague" in the human body is emitting little bits of extremely weak evil spirit, constantly devouring the lives of the people.

Returning to the terrace on the second floor, he said a few words to Bai Suqing in the room.

She frowned upon hearing this and nodded slowly.

The two children downstairs also heard his words and couldn't help but look around, as if gearing up.

Gu Ke looked at them: "Okay, let's save people."

The two young men immediately moved east and west and acted separately.

Soon, they were able to get people within the area covered by the light out of their homes.

Because I was in a hurry, I couldn't care less about how many bolts I broke and how many doors I broke.

On the second floor, Bai Suqing had hidden her vitality and figure, and quickly walked towards the government office in the darkness.

Gu Ke, who was left alone in front of the building, had an idea, and a large jar and two large vats appeared in front of him.

One of the empty vats has purifying properties, while the other ordinary vat emits a thick, sweet aroma of red wine.

This is one of the test products that was automatically processed after the processing workshop was upgraded to level 5 a few days ago - a jam made from mashed red wine and wheat straw sugar.

As soon as the thought came to mind, the stream water in the bamboo water supply pipes within the fairy field was drawn from the void and poured into the large purification tank.

I stopped only when it was eight-tenths full, took out a big ladle and scooped two scoops of jam into it.

Then I used a small bamboo basket to scoop one or two green juices from the big jar and poured them into the big vat.

There were also purple wild peppercorns that were ground into powder and rolled into balls, a pile of dark green jade mint, and finally a few handfuls of salt were sprinkled in and mixed together.

The sugar and salt jam water replenished water and nutrients, and also replenished some blood.

The green juice came from the Artemisia selengensis offered by Liangshan Village, which is edible and has a miraculous effect on dysentery and diarrhea.

A small amount of breeding and picking in Xiantian Red Land, soaked in rice wine, became a kind of medicinal wine.

Purple wild peppercorns drive away the evil breath, and jade mint calms the mind.

The red nai juice and salt are sugar and salt, which replenish their swallowed blood and salt, as well as the salt lost by diarrhea.

The finished pills were not used because there were too many patients.

Moreover, the symptoms that ordinary people can delay for several days are not too urgent. It is enough to use the plants in the fairy field to adjust the water.

At this time, the two children had rolled up dozens of people with blood and qi and returned.

"One liang per person, two liang for those in serious condition." Gu Ke gestured.

"Understood, Master Tiangong." The two children responded, letting these people know his new name.

"Open your mouth and take the medicine." They said to the people they brought back, raised their hands, and the stream water mixed with red nai fruit jam and green juice in the large vat was rolled up into dozens of balls and flew to the mouths of the people.

After these dozens of people were covered by the lights of the roadside stalls, the vomiting and diarrhea were significantly alleviated.

At this moment, although many people were weak, they were still conscious and opened their mouths one after another. Those who were already unconscious used blood and qi to pinch their mouths open.

This is to save time.

Being able to take the medicine on your own initiative is of course much faster than forcing it down one by one.

There are many people to be saved tonight. Even a little time represents human life, so it is best to save it.

In a moment, all the people drank the salty, sweet, sour, and bitter water.

The two children flew away and went to save people again.

Gu Ke swept his mind and casually pointed at seven or eight people who had taken the medicine: "You two in a group, help give medicine to those who are unconscious later."

Level 5 roadside stalls can provide emergency assistance to the people.

These people enter the range of the roadside stalls' lights and take the medicine, which is considered to be an agreement to the transaction.

Saving people is the most important thing, and Gu Ke is too lazy to play the trick of choosing the predestined person this time.

He said that there will be a predestined relationship.

He wanted to save people, so he had no choice.

He directly decided on the Black Evil Palm + life-saving medicine as the items for this transaction, in exchange for various crafts and skills that everyone is good at.

The system did not make any movement, and it was obvious that this was in line with the transaction contract.

After taking the potion for curing diseases and supplementing nutrition, the people who received the Black Evil Palm were significantly better.

Especially the few people who were pointed out, whose illness was the lightest, were swept by his mind and immediately came back to their senses.

Although Tiangong was only half a head taller than Shennong, his appearance and temperament were more intimidating than the amiable old farmer Shennong.

With just one word and one action, these people tensed up and nodded repeatedly.

Gu Ke simply took out a few tables, a batch of bamboo bowls, and a batch of small bamboo baskets out of thin air.

There were parts of bamboo baskets of one or two liang, and the difference in size was obvious.

These people just needed to remember that patients with clear mind should take a small basket, and patients with unclear consciousness should take a large basket.

Soon, the two children brought back the second group of people.

Seeing several people holding bamboo baskets and bamboo bowls, they knew what was going on without saying anything.

So they put the people on the ground and left again.

Several people had already filled the potion, and when they saw someone being brought in, they immediately went forward in groups of two to feed the medicine one by one.

They wanted to be nervous, but under the illumination of the lanterns of the roadside stalls, their minds could not help but calm down.

Gu Ke also used natural affinity to soothe their emotions unconsciously.

The process of feeding medicine was not particularly smooth, but there were no problems.

In this way, the second and third batches were continuously sent by the two children.

Among them, those with milder symptoms were directed by Gu Ke to help after they recovered slightly.

Some joined the team of feeding medicine, and the other part moved away those who had been fed medicine but were still weak, so as not to block the roadside stalls and hinder the rescue.

Gu Ke just kept taking out red nai jam, green artemisia wine, etc., and mixed them into jars of potions for people to use.

This was of course to show the people that Tiangong was working hard to prepare medicine and save them.

After being busy for half a cup of tea, Bai Suqing flashed out of the darkness and landed beside him: "Tiangong, the people are here."

Then he let go of the two people who were wrapped in blood and energy.

One of them was wearing an official robe and had the strength of the second round and fifth turn. He was the governor of Qujiang Prefecture.

The other was wearing armor. He was the governor of the prefecture city and a martial emperor.

Gu Ke glanced at the two of them and said, "You two drink the potion first to prevent the plague, and then mobilize all your manpower to transport all the people here for treatment. You have less than two hours."

With a glance, Bai Suqing, who had a tacit understanding with him, summoned two balls of potion and poured them into their mouths.

Because Bai Suqing came back too fast, the two who were still feeling the transaction contract in their minds were shocked.

Subconsciously, they wanted to spit out the sour, sweet, salty and spicy strange liquid in their mouths, but the Bi Hai Jin easily suppressed the two.

Even if the defending general was Wu Zong, he swallowed the strange potion without any hindrance.

Unlike ordinary people, they almost immediately realized the magic of this potion.

Except for salt and stream water, the rest of the red nai sauce, straw sugar, green wormwood, purple wild pepper, jade mint, and rice wine all come from the fairy field.

No matter how ordinary the fairy field crops are, no matter what their characteristics are, they all have a significant increase in blood and qi, comparable to external precious medicines.

The stronger the warrior is, the more sensitive the body is to the medicine, and poison and precious medicine are no exception.

At this moment, the strange-tasting potion comparable to precious medicine entered the stomach, and the two people's minds were still thinking about "spitting it out", but their bodies were honestly absorbing the essence of it crazily.

In an instant, the transaction contract appeared in the minds of the two people, and they realized that this strange-tasting potion was actually a prepaid "payment for goods".

Then think of the scene a moment ago, when Bai Suqing went straight into the government office and rolled them up one by one in front of a group of guards.

Qujiang Prefecture Zun and the guards were speechless: That's it? It's obviously a good thing, why do you make it seem like you are going to feed us something poisonous!

Well, this potion really tastes like poison.

No matter how they complained in their hearts, they didn't dare to show it, just nodded: "Yes."

"That's right."

Gu Ke was too lazy to say more to them.

In his divine sense, the two did not give him the same heaven and earth impression as Li Xiu'er and Lei Kun, but were just passers-by.

Letting Bai Suqing "invite" the two directly was just to let them help.

"The plague in the city is caused by a monster. If this monster is not eliminated, the people will eventually be doomed." He said so.

Tian Gong's voice was low and muffled. If it was a little louder, the eardrums of ordinary people would buzz.

The palace master and the guards who were close at hand were not so exaggerated, but they also looked uncomfortable.

Gu Ke continued to himself: "I see its aura, it should be hiding not far from the upper reaches of Qujiang River. We will kill it, but you must transport the people to the rescue as soon as possible."

After a pause, he glanced around: "In addition, you must strengthen your vigilance in the city. Someone is colluding with this monster and helping it to pollute the water source in the city."

"Don't let the people drink water at will before the water source is checked."

At this point, he looked at Bai Suqing next to him: "Aqing, let's go."

A purple bamboo sword appeared in the air, Gu Ke in front and Bai Suqing behind, and the two jumped onto the sword.

The sword body immediately burst into a green light belonging to the Bi Hai Jin, and took them to the southwest - that is where the upper reaches of Qujiang River are.

The rapidly receding green light was like a meteor, cutting through the night sky, and arrived at a large bay where the river surface turned dozens of miles away from the city at an unimaginable speed.

Without any stop, without any words, the green meteor plunged into the water of the bay.

Gu Ke, who was standing in front, was not impacted by any water flow.

A layer of green light protected him in front of him, easily repelling the water flow and forming a layer of "supercavitation".

He just silently raised the nameless small hammer in his hand.

The next moment, Fang Jue, a monster lying in the mud and sand at the bottom of the river dozens of feet away in the big bay, jumped in his heart and looked up.

He saw a little green light coming towards him, reflected in its pair of gray-yellow vertical pupils.
