White Snake: I am a Swordsman

Chapter 78 What is your senior brother’s name?
After the Qingming Festival, Bao'an Hall's business became more and more prosperous.

Xu Xian did not close down Bao'an Hall.

Although he had a small fortune and could live peacefully for a hundred years without opening Bao'an Hall, he never liked to give up halfway through doing things.

He plans to hire someone to look after Bao'an Hall and reduce the number of days he sees patients each month.

In this way, poor people can buy cheap medicinal materials, he can spare time to accompany Xiaobai, and Bao'an Hall can continue to operate.

"Doctor Xu, you are truly a miracle doctor!"

A bearded man stood in front of the counter. He praised sincerely, "My father took a dose of your medicine and recovered on the same day. He was able to go out to work the next day!"

His voice was so loud that people on the street could hear it.

"This is not the medicine's credit, but your father's good health. Even if you don't take medicine, he will probably recover in a few days." Xu Xian said with a smile, his words full of humility.

The bearded man put down the copper coin and said confidently: "You are too modest. From today on, I will choose Bao'an Hall and will never go to any other clinic again!"

Xu Xian nodded with a smile.

He had heard similar words from many people.

In fact, when it comes to treating common diseases, he is not much better than the doctors in other clinics. He just doesn't prescribe random medicines for patients.

With the same efficacy, the medicines he prescribes are always cheaper than those prescribed by other clinics.

The hearts of the people are sensitive.

If you are nice to them, they can really feel it.

The bearded man walked out of the security hall.

At this time, Xiaobai came in from the back door and placed a plate of chopped peaches in front of Xu Xian.

She picked up a piece with a bamboo stick and fed it into Xu Xian's mouth.

Xu Xian bit it hard and juice splashed everywhere.

The sweetness penetrates into your heart.

"Thank you, my lady." He held Xiaobai's hand and stroked it gently.

Xiao Bai lowered her eyes and said in a gentle and pleasant voice, "You and I are husband and wife. Sir, why are you saying thank you? It sounds strange. Don't say it again in the future."

Xu Xian smiled and bent down to kiss the back of Xiaobai's hand.

Xiaobai blushed.

Suddenly, a childish cry came from outside the door.

"Doctor Xu!"

Hearing the sound, Xiaobai pulled out her soft hand.

Xu Xian looked up.

The little boy walked into the security hall, covered in blood and limping, just like the first time he saw me.

He walked to the counter, stabbed the three-pointed, double-edged knife under his feet with his backhand, and with a bang, the solid bluestone slab broke into pieces.

Then, he sat down on the chair, his face cold and arrogant: "Just like last time, give me acupuncture to release the evil spirit and disease."

Xu Xian said with a dark face: "You have to compensate me for the floor first."

little boy:? ? ?

He lowered his head to look at the bluestone slab that was pierced by the three-pointed, double-edged sword, and his proud expression froze slightly.

sieve--

A large silver ingot appeared on the counter.

"Is this enough?" asked the little boy.

Xu Xian picked it up and weighed it. It was about fifty taels, more than enough to compensate for the floor and pay for the medical fees.

"That's enough, lie down on the bed."

Xu Xian glanced at Xiaobai, who understood and stood up to close the door.

The little boy snorted softly, limped to the bed and lay down, as if he was familiar with the place.

Xu Xian stepped forward and undressed the little boy.

This time the wound was shocking.

There were densely packed penetrating wounds, piercing almost every inch of the little boy's skin.

It's hard to imagine how he survived.

Xiaobai stood aside, looking at the terrible scars on the little boy's body, with doubts in her eyes.

"How did you get these injuries?" Xu Xian was also puzzled, "Did you roll around in the hedgehog's den?"

The little boy gritted his teeth, anger burning in his eyes: "It's not a hedgehog, it's a mouse!" "If I knew who taught them to shoot arrows, I would tear them into pieces!"

The Yellow Wind Valley is full of archery rats.

There were more of them when we arrived at Guanyin Temple. Three rows of them could be seen on one wall, and each one was more accurate than the other.

As soon as he showed his face, he was shot into a sieve.

What a shame!
"If I had not been plotted against and my magic power was only one tenth of what it was, how could a mere Guanyin Temple make me so embarrassed?"

Guanyin Temple?

Hearing this word, Xiaobai's pupils shrank suddenly.

Xu Xian remained calm and inserted the red-hot silver needle into the little boy's wound.

He didn't care what the little boy was doing at Guanyin Temple. He wanted to stay away from the entanglement between gods and demons and spend an ordinary life with Xiaobai.
"Hiss!" the little boy gasped.

Xu Xian shrugged and consoled him, "You have wounds all over your body, and there's no place to insert the needle. It's normal to feel pain."

"It doesn't hurt, not at all." The little boy closed his eyes and remained stubborn as always.

Swish, swish, swish—Xu Xian’s technique is incredibly fast.

Soon, silver needles were all over the little boy's body, turning him into a hedgehog.

Black smoke that is barely noticeable to the naked eye floats out of the little boy's body along the slender silver needle.

The little boy was sweating profusely.

The tender little hands grasped the bed sheet, leaving two sweaty handprints on it.

He raised his head and looked at the counter.

There lies a jade lotus.

"This is a nice ornament. Where did you get it?" The little boy endured the severe pain and tried to change the topic to divert his attention.

"My senior brother gave it to me." Xu Xian said casually.

The little boy was shaking with pain. He then asked, "Your senior brother is not an ordinary person, what is his name?"

Xu Xian's eyes narrowed slightly.

Yanguan County is located on the sea. Since the Han Dynasty, people have built huts on the vast sea mudflats to live in, scraping and making brine and boiling salt.

To date, there are eight salt fields in Yanguan County with an annual output of 130,000 shi.

It ranks first among the sea salt fields.

The salt industry was the main source of tax revenue for the imperial court, and the official positions in Yanguan County were rare and lucrative ones.

"Damn it!"

"I have been in office for more than ten years, working diligently and without making any mistakes. Why do you want to send me to a remote place far away from the capital with a transfer letter?"

"The person who replaced me turned out to be a captain of the police!"

Inside the extravagant mansion, an old man was furious.

He is none other than the current county lieutenant of Yanguan County. His surname is Xu and his name is Sheng. He has been in office for more than ten years. He has taken advantage of his position to embezzle huge amounts of salt revenue and bribe people at all levels. His behavior is deeply ingrained.

However, Lin'an Prefecture suddenly sent a transfer order.

He was ordered to leave next month and go to the southwestern border to take up an official post.
To be determined!

Xu Sheng was furious. He grabbed the jade cup on the table and threw it with all his might.

Bang! The jade cup broke into eight petals.

Behind Xu Sheng stood two Taoist priests with feminine faces. They smiled at each other and said, "Sir, you asked us brothers to come here because you want to keep your position as county lieutenant?"

"That's right!" Xu Sheng turned around and asked, "Do you have any ideas?"

He remained in the position of county lieutenant for more than ten years, and these two Taoists made an indispensable contribution to this.

"This is easy. We just need to get rid of that captain!" The two Taoists said in unison. "Lin'an Prefecture can't send anyone to replace you. If you make some arrangements, the position of county lieutenant will naturally remain yours!"

They licked their lips, with a hint of cruelty in their eyes.

"Well said!" Xu Sheng's face was ruthless, "I'll leave this matter to you two!"

"Want to take over from me?"

"He has to be alive too!"

The sinister words echoed in the mansion, startling a tree of crows.

　It will be available at midnight tomorrow night!

　　Please make your first order!
