Chapter 72 Lurking
The little beggar who called himself Du Sijiu was soon rescued.

Perhaps it was because he was lucky enough, or perhaps God was blessing loyal people. You know, Tian Wenkai had already made preparations for Du Sijiu to die on the spot.

But the knife that pierced through the body not only did not cause any fatal injuries, but did not even hurt the internal organs.

After only two or three days of treatment, Du Sijiu was already full of energy again, even recovering faster than Tian Wenkai who had a knife wound on his shoulder.

"Young people are really strong and healthy..."

Seeing this scene, Tian Wenkai couldn't help but sigh.

Maybe it's not just about being strong and healthy. After all, when he was admitted to the hospital before, the experienced Tian Wenkai had already noticed that although this kid looked thin, his bones were strong and he had obviously practiced something.

Perhaps it was because of this physique that he was able to escape all the way into Jinshuitang while being hunted by the Blood Evil Gang.

But this kind of thing doesn't matter. Everyone has their own little secrets. This little beggar has one, and so does Tian Wenkai.

He only needed to know that this little beggar was quite loyal and righteous, and that was enough.

"Since you want to work for me so much, then you can stay at Jinshuitang and be a clerk."

After a few days of deliberation, Tian Wenkai decided to keep the boy who had blocked the knife for him.

And this little beggar who called himself Du Sijiu finally officially became a member of Jinshuitang.

Du Sijiu's original name was not Du Sijiu.

The name was stolen from Liu Sijiu. No one would care about a beggar's name anyway. Instead, the name Du Wuyi was chosen because Li Zhiyuan had called him that several times when he took him out. If someone heard it, it would inevitably reveal the flaw.

However, there are some inconveniences in suddenly changing the name.

Just like it is now.

"Du Sijiu! Du Sijiu? Du Sijiu, are you deaf?"

"……Why?"

It was not until the people around him called him two or three times that Du Wuyi realized that they were calling him.

Then he realized that this change of name was a huge flaw.

So in a flash, Du Wuyi had an idea and quickly pretended to be hard of hearing.

"What did you say? Louder?"

"I say! It's time for you to grind your medicine!"

The drugstore clerk simply leaned close to Du Wuyi's ear and shouted loudly.

It was not until this time that Du Wuyi suddenly realized something. He quickly put on a cautious attitude and followed the clerk to the backyard of the pharmacy.

The backyard of Jinshuitang is where medicinal materials are processed. Most of the medicinal materials are transported here for secondary processing, then decocted or refined into pills.

However, Du Wuyi was assigned to the preliminary steps of refining pills.

That is, first grind the medicinal materials into powder using a grinding trough and pestle.

"Hay roots, winter melon peels, floating wheat, corn silk, and why are there mulberry leaves..."

Du Wuyi frowned slightly as he counted the medicinal herbs he had received.

Du Wuyi did learn some medicinal herb identification from Zhu Youwen, who came from a medical clinic, but the things he had received were...

Can this be considered a medicinal herb?

"The snow has been strong recently, and many people in the city have caught colds, so we need to quickly make a batch of cold-relieving pills and make a fortune while we can... If you can't grind all the herbs by tonight, I'll break your legs!"

It was at this time that the tallest guy among the group spoke.

Du Wuyi was quite impressed by this clerk. After all, among these dozen clerks, he had a vague feeling of being the leader. And when Tian Wenkai's pharmacy opened, only this clerk named Xue was qualified to stand at the counter near the door and dispense medicine for people.

In the words of other guys, although this guy surnamed Xue was still wearing the guys' clothes, he was already the head waiter of Jinshuitang.

But now, the words spoken by this Xuetougui sounded like those of an amateur. Grass roots, winter melon peels, corn silk, mulberry leaves—it was a miracle that these things could dispel the cold. Even if Du Wuyi had never made his own medicine, he at least knew that these things couldn't cure any disease.

However, what surprised Du Wuyi even more was that the guys around him didn't show any surprise at all at what Xue the head clerk said.

Could it be that there is something in this that he doesn't know?

"Looking at you, do you recognize these herbs?"

At this moment, Xue, the head clerk, suddenly approached Du Wuyi's side.

"Don't try to play dumb. I saw the look in your eyes just now!"

"I……"

Du Wuyi never expected that he would be exposed so quickly. He almost instinctively raised his hand and slapped out.

But after taking a deep breath, Du Wuyi decided to struggle.

"These... aren't medicinal herbs?"

Du Wuyi's eyes suddenly widened in anger.

"I wouldn't even beg for food to eat these things, but you're going to use them to make cold-relieving pills... Are you going to make me bear the stigma of selling fake medicine?"

"I……"

It was obviously Xue who went up to question the new clerk first, but now he was frightened by the sudden outburst of the new clerk.

"What do you mean by selling fake medicine? We at Jinshuitang sell genuine medicine. If it weren't effective, how could our Jinshuitang Quhan Dan be selling so well?"

As he said this, Xue the head clerk took out a glass tube from his pocket.

The crystal clear glass and the dark purple liquid inside seemed familiar to Du Wuyi.

"Hey, come here. It's the same as before. Mix this with a jar of water and add it in when you grind the medicine powder."

He casually called a waiter to come over to work, but Xue Tougui's eyes were fixed on Du Wuyi.

"The situation is tense right now, and the big guys from the King Kong Sect are investigating this thing. You're the only newcomer in the courtyard now, so if you dare to gossip about it..."

The sharp dagger was pressed against Du Wuyi's throat.

Perhaps because he was holding a knife, Xue Tougui felt more confident. The look he gave Du Wuyi was no longer the timid and confused look he had when he was yelled at just now. Instead, there was a hint of viciousness in his eyes.

"I'm watching you. If you dare to tell anyone, I'll kill you."

"I……"

Du Wuyi lowered his eyes and looked at the dagger at his neck, which he could easily crush. He tried hard to recall some terrifying things so that he could put on a fearful expression.

Then he quickly squatted down, picked up the copper roller from the trough, and started working busily.

However, this shop assistant Xue did not retract the dagger, but threatened several other shop assistants. It can be seen that this shop assistant Xue enjoyed the feeling of being able to step on the heads of all the shop assistants.

However, none of the waiters dared to say anything. After all, although Xue, the head shopkeeper, had a bad personality and temper, he was loyal enough and was highly regarded by Tian Wenkai, the owner of Jinshuitang.

"You'll get your comeuppance sooner or later!"

It was not until Xue, the shopkeeper, left with the knife that a clerk in the drugstore looked at his back and cursed him in a low voice.

The other guys also nodded. It was obvious that they had tolerated Xue the head waiter for a long time.

What these guys didn't expect was that the retribution would come so quickly.

That night, before Xue, the head shopkeeper, came back to collect the goods, he was hacked to death by the murderers, and even his head was chopped off.
