Zhang Zixi dragged his broken body and searched around the ruined temple, but he couldn’t find a piece of clothing to cover his body, forcing him to stay in the ruined temple and wait until dark before quietly returning.
But after dark, the beggars also came back, and two of them were wearing his clothes.
“Give me back my clothes.”
The beggar laughed and said, “You gave us these clothes yesterday. How can you take it back?”
Seeing that they were unwilling, Zhang Zixi could only tempt them, “Then I will buy them, okay?”
“How much silver will you pay?”
“One tael of silver.” Zhang Zixi gritted his teeth and said.
After hearing this, the other beggars burst into laughter.
“One tael of silver to give you clothes and let you go back? You are simply dreaming. Now, someone has offered us ten taels of silver so that we can take good care of you in the next few days.”
The man’s eyes swept over his white body. Zhang Zixi’s face turned ashen.
“I will also offer twenty taels.” Zhang Zixi said with a hard heart and gritted his teeth.
But the beggar said, “The other party gave each of us ten taels of silver. If you can give each of us twenty taels of silver, we will let you go.”
Zhang Zixi’s face turned completely black.
Twenty taels of silver per person, more than a dozen people would be hundreds of taels.
It was already the most he could afford to take out twenty taels of silver. A hundred taels of silver was simply impossible.
As soon as the beggar saw his look, he knew he didn’t have it.
“Just stay here. You don’t like *** very much, isn’t it better to stay here now?” The beggar smiled sinisterly.
Zhang Zixi had a dark face. He liked to play with others instead of letting others play with him.
In the next few days, Zhang Zixi was tortured beyond recognition. When he escaped from the beggars’ den, it was already five days later.
As soon as he came out, he left Baiyun Town overnight.
Of course, all this is a story for later.
After Bei Yutang threw Zhang Zixi into the ruined temple, she took Xiao Zimo back home. Although he had just gone through that incident, Xiao Zimo recovered quickly.
When he ate hand-rolled noodles in the evening, he ate two large bowls.
After he had dinner, Bei Yutang did not take him to the yard for a walk, but she said to him, “Mo’er, starting from tomorrow, Mother will teach you to recognize various poisonous grasses and herbs, make poisons, refine poisons, and detoxify. Are you willing to learn?”
Xiao Zimo nodded.
As for finding a teacher, Bei Yutang did not plan to choose a new one for him for the time being. If she did not find a more reliable teacher this time, she would not feel at ease.
The next day, at dawn, Bei Yutang took Xiao Zimo to the forest outside the city.
When they entered the mountain, a ray of light appeared in the sky, and soon, the whole earth was illuminated by golden sunshine.
Bei Yutang found a small purple flower from the bushes and called Xiao Zimo over.
“Mo’er, remember. This flower is called the purple stem orchid, which is a slightly toxic grass. If people and livestock are accidentally touched by its pollen, their whole bodies will itch and have rashes. It won’t last long, and it will automatically disappear after about two or three days.”
Xiao Zimo carefully wrote down its name and toxicity.
Walking further in, Bei Yutang pulled out a plant that looked like a weed from the ground and placed it in front of Xiao Zimo.
“This is called wild water chestnut, a herb used to treat coughs. It’s quite effective, but its yield is very small and hard to find. We’re lucky today.”
