Chapter 68 The Wife Disguised as a Woman

The cloth shop owner felt as if he had accidentally discovered a shocking truth.

Moreover, this is very likely to be an opportunity to make him soar to the sky!

When the owner of the cloth shop was so excited that his hands and feet were shaking, the Taoist priest in gray robe came over with the clothes he had picked and tapped the counter vigorously: "Hey, boss, are you still in business? I..." he said. It stopped abruptly halfway through.

The grey-robed Taoist glared at the cloth shop owner who jumped up from his chair on the spot, frowning and asked, "No, what are you doing?"

"Do, had a nightmare."

The cloth shop owner wiped the cold sweat from his forehead, glanced absently at the clothes he brought, and said perfunctorily, "Thirty bucks."

"Thirty bucks? Why don't you go grab it!" the gray-robed Taoist called out, "It's too expensive, make it cheaper!"

"You look at it." The cloth shop owner was not in the mood to argue with him, and said perfunctorily.

The gray-robed Taoist looked at him suspiciously, and tentatively offered a price: "Then... five coins?"

Speaking of which, even the little boy looked at his master with a shocked expression: This bargain is too harsh, isn't it?

But the owner of the cloth shop agreed immediately: "Okay, it's okay, it's okay to give you away for free, hurry up, I'm going to close the store!"

"What? Are you serious? I..." The gray-robed Taoist wanted to say something else, but the cloth shop owner had already turned around from behind the counter impatiently and shoved them out.

He quickly closed the door of the store, and hung a sign saying "rest today" on the door. After there was no one in the store, he immediately went home to find his daughter-in-law to discuss. Hearing about Lin Xiaodong's true identity, the cloth shop owner's wife was suspicious: "Are you sure what the Taoist said is true? Don't be hysterical."

"I think nine times out of ten it's true," the cloth shop owner vowed, "Let's not say that she gave birth to a fox-like appearance, how did the surname Zhao fall not long ago, have you forgotten? I I've heard people say that he's half a lunatic now. He's in prison talking about 'impossible, impossible' or something. The plan we worked out together should have been perfect. If it wasn't sorcery, why was that? Women disappear into rooms out of thin air?"

Hearing what he said, the cloth shop owner's wife also became afraid: "Then what should we do, report to the officer? What if she comes to retaliate against us in the middle of the night?"

"This..." The cloth shop owner was also a little scared, but he quickly came up with an idea, "By the way, as long as we spread the news, more people would know, wouldn't it be enough?"

"What do you mean?" the wife asked in confusion.

"The law does not blame the public. When the people in the town know it, the Gu family can't silence all the people in a town, right?" The cloth shop owner said excitedly, "But they must not know that this rumor is true. The first one to report to the official will definitely be able to grab a head!"

The wife suddenly realized, and repeatedly praised: "It's a good way! It's a good way!"

The cloth shop owner laughed complacently.

He hugged his wife, but he had already imagined a life surrounded by beautiful women after he became famous.

"Ah sneeze!"

Lin Xiaodong, who was soaking in the hot spring, suddenly sneezed.

"Have a cold?" Gu Xingzhai frowned, "It's been cold recently, so don't go to town all the time."

"It's just a sneeze." Lin Xiaodong rubbed his nose and said helplessly, "And you also know that the weather is cold, and there must be more people who get sick. I'm a doctor. If I don't go to treat them, do I want these poor people to survive this winter on their own? ?"

Gu Xingzhai lowered his eyes and said nothing.

After a long while, he sighed softly: "If only the monsters in the world were like you, it would be great."

"That's impossible, I'm the only one." Lin Xiaodong snorted and said proudly. He used the [One-Click Dress Up] skill to transform himself into the little mermaid of the previous world, and swim freely in the hot spring. Although Gu Xingzhai was amazed at the beautiful silver-white tail, he only thought of it as such. It is the natural ability of the demon, so there is no doubt about it.

System: "You're breaking the rules."

Lin Xiaodong: "Take it down, he didn't notice it was wrong. And what about the things I asked you to check about Gu Xi before? So many points have been spent, at least let's hear it."

"Don't worry about this," the system said. "When I leave this world, I will seize the point where the data flow in the headquarters is the most concentrated to decipher it. This is also the only chance that I will not be discovered by those programmers."

Lin Xiaodong asked curiously, "I always hear you talk about programmers. Why, is your headquarters still recruiting? Is it possible that you will set up a stall in the Cosmos Talent Market?"

"Our programmers are all from high-level planes," the system proudly said. "That's what you call Heaven. It's hard to find jobs these days, and even the guards of Nantianmen have moved to the headquarters to be security guards. Listening to them, I The core program was still a mythical beast in his last life."

Lin Xiaodong: "..."

Long experience.

After December, the weather immediately became unbearable.

The snow was falling one after another, and overnight, the streets were covered in silver, as beautiful as the world of glass painted by a painter.

But for the people who live here, it's not so good.

Because in this era of no air conditioning and no heating, even large families can only rely on charcoal for heating.

In the days when he didn't go to town, Lin Xiaodong basically spent the whole day in bed, wrapped in tight quilts and shivered from the cold, or slipped into someone's bed in the middle of the night, holding a large human-shaped heater to keep warm.

Gu Xingzhai has practiced martial arts all year round, and his body temperature is higher than ordinary people. Lin Xiaodong can't wait to tie him to his belt and take him wherever he goes.

"Don't go to the town for the next few days." After picking up Lin Xiaodong from the town's free clinic again, Gu Xingzhai sat in front of the charcoal stove and mentioned the matter again.

He massaged the young man's frozen feet little by little with his hands, and said in a gloomy voice: "In the years when you didn't come, Qingxie Town came here every winter, don't think of them too squeamishly. ."

"I know," Lin Xiaodong said with a thermos in his hands, sniffing, "I'm not going."

Before, he just thought about whether he could collect a good person card during the free clinic, but now it seems that he is thinking too much.

Gu Xingzhai was stunned, probably not expecting that Lin Xiaodong really agreed. He raised his head and asked, "Are you really not going?"

"Um."

Lin Xiaodong thought to himself that he really couldn't like the people in this place. Although there were simple people like Wang Er, there were more ignorant white-eyed wolves who took it for granted no matter how much they paid.

He is obviously not the only doctor in Qingxie Town, but because he doesn't charge money for seeing a doctor, those people come to him if they have any headaches. In this month alone, there were no less than 100 people who were not sick and pretended to be sick by him on the spot.

All these Lin Xiaodong saw.

He thought, did those people really think that he was a silly and sweet rich lady?

Saying thanks on the lips, laughing at him for being stupid behind his back, but he doesn't know who the real stupid person is.

In the current town, even including several surrounding villages and towns, there are no doctors willing to see a doctor for the poor, except for the private doctors raised by the big families. Once Lin Xiaodong leaves and wants to get medical treatment, he can only travel hundreds of miles to the nearest city to see a doctor. Not to mention whether the patient can hold on to the long distance, even if he really arrives in a big city, the cost of seeing a doctor will not be "destroying the family". It can be easily solved with a single word.

"I figured it out, isn't it bad to eat and drink at home? I have to go to that dirty and cold place for nothing to do." Lin Xiaodong smiled, "Let's eat hot pot tonight?"

Gu Xingzhai carefully observed the expression on his face, and found that the young man was indeed serious, and he could not help secretly relieved after he didn't seem to hear the recent rumors in the town.

"Okay," he said. "I'll call someone to prepare it now."

He didn't know where the news leaked from or who the original source was, but Gu Xingzhai had been keenly aware of the wrong direction of the wind. The man had already prepared for the worst - the big deal, he set fire to the mansion and took Lin Xiaodong to the end of the world.

Anyway, this place is not the root of their family, even if it is burned, it is no big deal.

However, Gu Xingzhai thought coldly, no matter what, he would not easily spare the person who was behind the scenes.

"What did you say?" When he heard the next person reporting, Mr. Huang almost thought he had hallucinated. "You say it again, who is here?"

"It's really the one from the capital, ah master! If the little kid deceived you, the sky will be struck by thunder!" The servant was so excited that his whole body was swaying, "He, he, he, he is waiting for you at the door!"

Master Huang took a deep breath, and immediately went out to greet him with his long gown. Before going out, he lowered his head and said, "Bah" and "Bah", spit two saliva into the palm of his hand, wiped his hair evenly against the glass window, and then made a panicked appearance and trotted out: "Master Xie. If you come from a long way, if you miss a long way, you will die for a small sin!"

The man in the official robe at the door turned around when he heard the words, revealing a white, beardless, feminine and solemn face.

It turns out that this "Master Jie" is actually a eunuch!

"No polite words," he waved his hand impatiently, staring at Mr. Huang, who was smiling but was in a cold sweat, "I heard that in the nearby town of Qingxie, there is a man named Lin. pretty Woman?"

"Yes, yes," Mr. Huang was startled, thinking that this dead eunuch must have taken a fancy to Lin Xiaodong, "Miss Lin is indeed a well-known person in our place, beautiful and kind, I don't know... Master Xie, you What's the matter with her?"

"I heard some rumors," the chief eunuch snorted coldly. He has been looking for the method of longevity for the above man for decades, and now seeing the dragon's veins dying, that man's patience is getting less and less, "You help me Check, what's going on, if the rumor is true, report it to me immediately without any delay, do you hear?"

Under the eyes of Director Xie, the cold sweat on Mr. Huang's forehead slowly dripped: "Yes...Yes, don't worry, the little one must do his best!"

After sending off to understand the general manager, Mr. Huang's deeply bowed waist slowly straightened up.

"Master, what should we do?"

The servant on the side asked fearfully, this carelessness is the crime of beheading!

Master Huang's expression alternated between blue and white. Although he is lustful, he is a person who loves fragrance and jade, because he also has a good impression on Lin Xiaodong because of the prom, but this time it is related to the lives of his whole family, so it can't be vague...

"Wait." He squeezed a word out of his teeth.

"Wait?"

"Yes," Mr. Huang, who has been in the officialdom for decades, muttered, "General Manager Xie couldn't come here in person because of a rumor, so after all, he was just stopping by, and there were other more important things waiting for him. He dealt with it. Fortunately, he is a eunuch, and he is not interested in the most beautiful women. If this rumor is just a rumor, I will report it after a while that it is just a villager's nonsense; but if this is just a rumor Things continue to ferment..."

He shook his head, sighed, and stopped talking.
