Chapter 50 Overnight
When the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law heard that Mr. Su was going to stay at home for dinner, they all got busy. Mrs. Wang even brought a few new quilts to spread in the guest room.

In the evening, several brothers also returned home. Seeing guests coming to the house, they all put away their tempers. Qibao said, "Brothers, this is the owner of Zuixian Tower. Next to him is his cousin. The eldest brothers behind are Their men."

When the brothers heard this, they all clasped their fists in greeting. Xiaoliu pulled the brothers aside and whispered, "Brother, let me tell you, that brother Su is a very nice person. He is talking to me, but his cousin, you guys, are very nice." Don’t ever talk to him.”

Several brothers asked in confusion, "Why?"

Xiao Liu said sympathetically, "Because he can't speak, he ignored me when I talked to him, and looked at me directly. I guess he is angry."

Xu Wenwu thought to himself, that's it. No wonder he just nodded when he greeted him. It turns out he is mute. This young man is really pitiful, so he told his brothers with a serious face, "You must not take the initiative to talk to him. Otherwise it will hurt his self-esteem, you know?" A few of the younger ones also nodded solemnly.

During dinner, Mr. Xu asked, "I would like to ask, what is Mr. Su going to Daqingshan to look for? If I tell you it's not something important, you'd better not go, it's dangerous!"

Su Chenyu said, "Thank you, Mr. Xu, for your concern. My cousin and I have been skilled in martial arts since we were young, and the subordinates around me are all very skilled, so we are naturally sure of it. As for what we are looking for, we are really not sure." I kept it secret because my cousin’s grandmother was suffering from a serious disease and urgently needed a 500-year-old ginseng to save her life, so I wanted to go deep into Daqing Mountain to look for it.”

The Xu family couldn't help but look at each other. Several adults glanced at Qibao unconsciously and quickly looked away. Su Chenyu saw the clue and asked, "Does Mr. Xu know where to find 500-year-old ginseng?" The stern-faced young man next to him asked. The young man's expression was also slightly relaxed.

Qibao said first, "Mr. Su, I have picked a 200-year-old ginseng in Daqing Mountain before and sold it to Leshan Pharmacy. It's hard to find a 500-year-old ginseng." Although there are 500-year-old ginseng in her space, she She was not very familiar with Su Chenyu, so she had no intention of taking out the ginseng. Even if she wanted to take it, she would have to pay for it.

"You mean you sold the 200-year-old ginseng to Leshan Pharmacy?" A cold voice suddenly came from the side.

Everyone looked at him in surprise. Xiao Liu was the first to say, "So you can talk? I thought you were mute! Then why are you ignoring me?"

"Xiao Liu! Shut up!" Mr. Xu said sternly.This young man looks like he is either rich or noble at first glance. This boy is really unabashed in his words.

Xu Laosan apologized and said, "Young Master, I'm really sorry. My youngest son was also unintentional. I hope you won't be blamed." Su Chenyu next to him kept suppressing laughter.

The young man said with a black face, "It doesn't matter, my name is Jing Chen." Then he looked at Qibao and said, "Leshan Drug Store is a property under my name."

Qibao suddenly understood. She said that apart from her family members, how did this person know about selling ginseng? It turned out that Leshan Pharmacy was his, so it was no wonder, so she said, "How about I accompany you to go up the mountain to search tomorrow? I'll go After passing it once, you will become more familiar with the road.”

Su Chenyu said, "Thank you, Miss Xu."

After dinner, several children of the Xu family went to review their homework. Mrs. Zhang took a pot of tea with Su Chenyu and Jingchen to the two guest rooms that had been prepared early in the morning. She put the tea on the table and said, "This tea is not a good tea, I hope." Mr. Su and Mr. Jing, please don’t dislike me. If there is anything you need to say, please tell me.”

Su Chenyu said, "Auntie, you're welcome. If you stay here, you've already disturbed the Xu family. We should be grateful." Mrs. Zhang saw that he was polite and didn't have the arrogance of a rich man. She felt a little fond of him and said with a smile, " Thank you. You two young masters should rest early. I'm going out first." After saying that, he turned around and left.

Su Chenyu said, "Cousin, this Xu family is really nice, but I'm not talking about you. Being sullen and silent all day is like someone else owes you 800 million taels of silver. No wonder others treat you as a mute."

Jing Chen said, "People who talk too much often don't live long." After speaking, he looked straight at Su Chenyu.

Su Chenyu curled her lips, said it was boring, and left back to her room.

Jing Chen sat at the table, poured a cup of tea and took a sip. As soon as he drank the tea, he raised his eyebrows and took another sip. He was surprised and turned to the secret guard beside him and said, "Ye Feng, try this tea."

"Yes." The secret guard named Ye Feng poured a glass and drank it.

Jingchen said, "How?"

Night Breeze said, "Master, after drinking this tea, my whole body feels relaxed and warm, and my muscles and veins feel smooth."

When Jing Chen heard this, it seemed that it was not his illusion. This tea did have extraordinary effects. What was so different about the Xu family? How could an ordinary farmer have such a magical thing? He believed that as long as he drank this tea for a long time, His internal strength has definitely improved by more than one step. He did not expect that the people selling ginseng to Leshan Pharmacy and vegetables to Zuixianlou were actually a family.It suddenly occurred to him that the man in black he saw that day seemed similar to the little girl, so wasn't the direction in which the man in black went was the direction of Xujia Village?It seems that the most mysterious thing is the low-key little girl. No wonder her family didn’t refute when they heard that she would go to Daqingshan with them tomorrow. It’s really interesting!
In the middle of the night, while the Xu family was sleeping, a dark figure rushed into the kitchen of the Xu family, came to the water tank, scooped some water with the gourd and gourd next to it, and tasted it. Yes, it tasted like this. After drinking it, his body I have never felt so relaxed as today, and then I drank the water in the gourd in one gulp.

He was about to turn around and leave when suddenly a low voice shouted "Who!" from outside. A little girl wearing a white undershirt broke in.

"It's me. I feel thirsty. Everyone else is sleeping, so I came here to look for water." Qibao originally got up to go to the bathroom at night, but when he saw the kitchen door opened, he saw a figure through the window, thinking he was stealing something. Yes, I followed him in. Now I heard the voice and realized it was Mr. Jing.

Qibao said, "Just drink water, you're sneaky." After saying that, he looked at Jing Chen with a little suspicion.

Jing Chen said, "Sorry to bother you, I'll go back first." His voice was as cold as ever.

Qibao looked at his thin back suspiciously, looked around the kitchen again, looked at the water tank, raised his eyebrows, but didn't say much, and returned to the house after going to the latrine.

Before dawn the next day, several boys trained first and then practiced the exercises as usual. Now they have mastered the exercises, but their internal strength is shallow. Each move has some appearance, and the moves can be connected together, but they lack a bit of momentum and are not very lethal. .

Jing Chen got up early and watched several boys from the Xu family in the courtyard practicing kung fu. He watched with great interest. The more he watched, the more he felt that the kung fu they practiced was different. He could tell at a glance that they had just practiced it, but In time, it must be extraordinary, and I think it is the girl's contribution. All the unusual things in this house are related to the girl.
