Chapter 70 A Spicy Dish That Makes You Run Wild in Fright

Guo Si looked at Hao Henmin and thought the kid was actually kind of adorably silly.

He had no idea how to cure this "owl eye" disease. He had just told Wu Cheng how to deal with Hao's third son when they were chatting yesterday. Coincidentally, Hao's eldest son had also asked him to help him deal with Hao's third son.

Now that they've run into the third son of the Hao family, they naturally won't let him go.

"Curing the owl's eye is not difficult, but the medicinal materials for curing the owl's eye are rare. I don't have any right now, and I guess I can only find them in the Upper Medicine Market."

"What kind of medicinal herbs?" Hao Henxin asked.

"I need a few pieces of Golden Poria, a few pieces of Seven-Star Polygonatum, one Five Elements Benefiting Grass, and five Yin-Yang Maple Leaves. That's all." Guo Si Di casually listed a few items.

Hao Laosan knew a little about the value of these items. One tael of Jin Fuling was worth ten taels of gold, but even if it was one jin of Jin Fuling, it would only be worth ten jin of gold. The gold they brought this time was more than ten jin.

As for things like Seven Star Polygonatum, they aren't expensive, but they're a bit hard to find.

Hao asked with a heavy heart, "But Ancestor, I saw someone else treat this 'owl eye' you mentioned before, and it seems like they didn't use any injections or medicine."

“That’s someone else. That method only treats the symptoms, not the root cause. It just transfers the Owl Eye. What I need is to completely eliminate the Owl Eye. If you doubt me, don’t come looking for me. I have a lot of things to do and I’m very busy.”

Hao Henxin dared not say anything more, noted down the medicinal herbs, and then asked, "Then may I ask, Ancestor, how can the Tiger's Lackey be cured?"

Guo Sidi thought to himself, "You've finally asked this question: I have a courage-boosting pill here. After you take it, your courage will be enhanced, and as long as your courage is enhanced, demons and evil spirits will not approach you."

As he spoke, he took out a red pill. The pill looked quite large, and its bright red color made it resemble a magic pill.

Hao Henxin and Hao Xiajian's eyes lit up when they saw the pill. Hao Xiajian reached out to take it, but Guo Sidi shook the pill and put it away: "Wait, why are you city people so ignorant of etiquette? This pill took me forty-nine days to knead and refine. Do you think I can just give it to you like that?"

Hao Henxin quickly asked, "I wonder how much Old Ancestor Guo plans to sell it for?"

Guo Sidi remained silent, only extending one finger.

"A small yellow croaker?" Hao Xiajian asked.

Guo Sidi glanced at him with disdain.

He was still holding up that finger.

"Ten small yellow croakers?" Hao asked with a heavy heart.

Guo Sidi still held up his finger.

The Hao family father and son were dumbfounded; Guo Sidi was really too ruthless.

This requires one hundred small yellow croakers.

“Old Master Guo, it’s not that I’m reluctant to give it to you, but we carried all these little yellow croakers here to participate in the medicine fair. If we give them to you now, we won’t have any money to buy medicine at the fair.”

Guo Sidi has five fingers spread out.

Hao asked with a heavy heart, "Ancestor, are you offering us a 50% discount?"

Guo Si nodded slightly.

Hao Henxin stopped haggling and counted out fifty small yellow croakers for Guo Sidi.

Guo Sidi covered the small yellow croakers with his clothes and said, "One courage pill is enough for the two of you. Take it with well water when you get back. No matter what happens during this time, you must not shout or make a sound, otherwise the medicine will be lost."

The Hao family is a family of doctors and martial arts practitioners, and they are well-versed in treating illnesses and taking medicine. The more knowledgeable they are, the more they understand the various intricacies involved in administering medicine. Take the water used for taking medicine, for example: some medicines require well water, some require river water, some require rootless water, and some even require rainwater collected from tree stumps. (Note: "Rainwater collected from tree stumps" refers to water collected from tree stumps.)

They took the courage pill back, broke it in two, and then the father and son fetched well water and swallowed the pill.

As soon as the courage pill was swallowed, both of them felt as if their stomachs were on fire.

It was so hot that both of them broke out in a sweat, but remembering Guo Sidi's words, they didn't dare to shout and just endured it.

At this moment, Guo Sidi had already returned to the second brother's house with fifty small yellow croakers in his arms. He poured these small yellow croakers in front of Wu Cheng with a splash: "Apprentice, look, your master has collected some interest for you from the third brother of the Hao family."

Wu Cheng looked at the large pile of small yellow croakers and was moved. This cheap master of his had really treated him well, and was already thinking about avenging him.

"We need to bring some small yellow croaker to the medicine market. Let's find a cloth bag to put it in and take it with us."

"Master, you're not going to just take them by force, are you?"

“Robbery? I would never do something so uncivilized. I’ll give them a pill to boost their courage, and this is the money from selling the medicine.”

"Courage pills? What are those?"

"It's a ball made by mixing croton powder and chili powder, then adding river water and foam. Do you know what it's used for?"

Wu Cheng, unfamiliar with pharmacology, shook his head.

"This courage-boosting pill also has a name called the 'Spicy Pill That Makes You Spicy from the Tongue to the Intestines,' which makes you spicy from the front to the back. And this croton powder can make you have diarrhea. River water plus well water is called the 'Double Water Gas Formula,' which makes you fart nonstop."

"What do you think the final result will be if these three are mixed together?"

Wu Cheng imagined it for a moment and shuddered. If someone were to use this courage-boosting pill on him, it would be truly terrifying.

Around noon, under a huge locust tree in the center of Sixia Village, someone rang the assembly bell.

Immediately, each family brought their guests to line up under the big locust tree.

Wu Cheng glanced around and noticed that Hao Xiachan and Hao Henduo were also there, as well as Bai Xiaochen with a beautiful woman he had never seen before, the three from the Lu family, and some other people he had seen at the Gu family's treasure-hunting competition but couldn't recall their names. He guessed that these were all members of the various families, large and small, from Longqiu or Xiyang.

Everyone is eyeing this medicine fair, hoping to find some bargains. Even if they don't find any, the medicinal herbs they can get from the fair through buying with small yellow croakers or bartering are definitely precious.

Among these people, only Hao Henxin and his son were missing. Wu Cheng estimated that with the domineering effects of the "Spicy Pill," the two of them would be stuck in the latrine all day and might even miss this medicine fair.

Also searching for the Hao family father and son in the crowd were Hao Xiachan and her daughter. It was their first battle after establishing their own business, and they certainly couldn't let themselves be suppressed by the original Hao family members, so they asked Guo Sidi for help. But the effect of this help was too good, because the Hao family father and son didn't even show up.
