Painted Skin

Chapter 17

Views:

In recent days, the mood of the great male god Pi Qinghua is as bright as the spring sunshine in March outside.

Ever since he hung the bloody words "It's fun to peek, the whole family is laughing" on the window, he clearly felt that the atmosphere near his home had become much quieter. Not only did he no longer have that cold feeling of being stared at by a beast, but even his usual painted skin was much more common than before. (Hehe)

It has been a week since his magic pen advanced to the second level. During this week, Pi Qinghua tried to draw all kinds of skins, and the results were gratifying.

His current physical condition and the energy of the magic pen were enough for him to draw 70 kilograms of Magnolia officinalis bark, 15 kilograms of Ghost Arrow Feathers, or 12 kilograms of Dictamni bark in a day. Of course, this was only possible if he drew one of the three types of bark. If he drew all three types of bark, he could only draw an average of 6 kilograms at most.

In addition, he can now draw the skins of chickens, ducks, sparrows and other poultry. What makes Pi Qinghua very happy is that the poultry skins he draws can even have hair! At first, Pi Qinghua just tried to draw a chicken skin, and the effort spent on drawing a chicken skin is about the same as that of a pound of Magnolia officinalis bark. The first time he drew chicken skin, Pi Qinghua completely emptied his mind, and had no other ideas except that it should not be bloody.

Therefore, the chicken skin that was drawn this time appeared gorgeously with feathers. Moreover, it seems that the magic pen itself likes the big roosters with beautiful and majestic feathers, so the chicken skin that came out this time was covered with colorful chicken feathers...

Pi Qinghua looked at the rooster tail feathers on the chicken butt skin and thought that if he wanted, he could make a feather duster and a feather shuttlecock out of it... Hehe. However, if he could paint a chicken skin so bright and smooth, if he painted a mink skin, would it be a super good semi-finished product? Wouldn't that be a big profit

Hmm, I've thought too much. Mink fur is a third-stage thing.

After that, Pi Qinghua painted a duck skin and a goose skin, and found that the effort required to paint them was similar to that of chicken skin. If it weren't for the skin of an eagle or a vulture, it wouldn't take more effort. After being able to paint the skins of birds, Pi Qinghua's family had a snack called fried chicken skin. Compared with the skins of other chickens that were raised in an unknown way, this kind of chicken skin is extremely green and healthy.

In addition, Pi Qinghua insisted on plucking the feathers. After about a week, he collected a bag of duck and goose down, as well as a lot of feathers... Although he didn't know what the feathers could be used for, maybe keeping them would be useful.

On the last day of March, Pi Qinghua spent the morning painting 10 jin of Magnolia officinalis bark and 5 jin of Psoralea corylifolia and Dictamnus chinensis. Together with the paintings he had done in the previous ten days, he collected a total of 50 jin of Magnolia officinalis bark, 20 jin of Psoralea corylifolia and 20 jin of Dictamnus chinensis. He planned to deliver the goods this afternoon, and then he could proceed to the next step - collecting human blood.

"Second Dad, come down and eat! I learned to make braised pork ribs for lunch today. I wonder if it tastes good or not." The little wolf cub in the living room shouted energetically, followed by the howl of Big Black.

Pi Qinghua twitched his lips. His family had been eating too much these days. They had to kill a rooster every day to get its blood, so they had chicken for every meal. As a result, the weight of the two people and the dog in the family increased sharply. Pi Qinghua and Langzhi both gained weight, and Dahei's skin was shiny and oily.

This kind of food was welcomed by the whole family at the beginning, but now, after eating chicken every day, even Dahei, who loves chicken the most, feels like vomiting when he sees chicken. So, starting from yesterday, Pi Qinghua no longer kills chickens. He decided to buy ten chickens every ten days and kill them to get blood, otherwise his family would probably become weasels...

Today, little boy Lang was very excited to buy some spare ribs, so he is in a very good mood now.

Pi Qinghua also smiled, looking at the delicious ribs on the table, and the family began to eat lunch. "Well, not bad, a little too much salt, it would be better to add some sugar next time."

Langzhi nodded seriously, then kicked away Dahei who was rubbing his dog's head on the pork ribs plate.

"After lunch and a nap, you can come with me to sell goods. We should be able to make a lot of money today."

Langzhi had not been out much these days, and was very happy to hear this. Dahei also turned around to show his happiness. Then at 2:30 in the afternoon, the Pi family rode their electric tricycle on time and headed straight to the Chinese herbal medicine market in the city.

At the same time, in the Wolf King's house across the street, President Lang naturally observed the actions of the two of them and the dog. However, considering the vicious curse that was thrown on his face in disguise before, President Lang said that he would definitely not follow them this time, and whether they were good or bad had nothing to do with him.

Inside the Chinese herbal medicine market.

Pi Qinghua carried a bag of Magnolia officinalis bark, half a bag of Ophiopogonis chinensis and Dictamni bark from the truck into the pharmacy. Uncle An was sitting in the store, and a young man who looked to be in his thirties or forties was being examined by Uncle An. Judging from his appearance, this man was a successful person with a successful career, and he didn't look sick at all. However, Uncle An's brows were tightly furrowed, as if he had encountered some difficult and complicated disease.

"Uncle An, I brought the herbs here. There are 50 kilograms of Magnolia officinalis bark, 20 kilograms each of Ghost-seeing Feathers and Dictamni bark. Can you take a look?"

Uncle An did not divert his attention after hearing Pi Qinghua's words. He just waved his hand to tell him to be calm, and then continued to examine the young man opposite with a frown.

Almost ten minutes later, Uncle An finally let go of the man's wrist.

"How is it? You are the last one I'm asking for help. If you can't help me, then I really have no hope... The next level up is a national player. Even if I have money, I am not qualified to hire him."

Uncle An looked a little regretful when he heard this, but he still said, "Your illness is a result of your childhood illness. You can only take care of it with warm tonic. There is really no better way. However, I heard that there is a kind of Cabinda bark. It is very effective, but I am not familiar with it. If you find it, let me study it and then make you a medicine with that bark. It may be of some use."

The successful man was very disappointed after hearing Uncle An's words, but in the end, he felt hopeful again. So he nodded vigorously and said, "Don't worry, I will definitely bring the bark to you within three days! If this is done, I will do my best to help you with anything in the future as long as you ask me!"

Uncle An shook his head and laughed: "I don't practice medicine for reward, it's just my instinct as a doctor."

After that, the successful man left with a grateful look on his face. Uncle An then turned his attention to Pi Qinghua, but saw that the boy had a weird and conflicted look on his face.

"What's wrong with you? Why don't you bring your goods over here so I can see the quality?"

Pi Qinghua came back to his senses, and quickly put the medicinal skins in front of Uncle An with his little wolf and Dahei. "Take a look? I picked the Magnolia officinalis bark with good quality. In addition, this is the first time I have collected the ghost feather and Dictamni bark. I don't know which ones are of good quality. Please take a look, and I will collect the good ones next time."

Uncle An nodded, then reached into the bag of Magnolia officinalis peel and grabbed a handful, with a slight surprise on his face. He grabbed a handful of Magnolia officinalis peel and found that it was of top quality. And it smelled rich and refreshing, which showed that the medicinal effect must be very strong.

"Good boy, if all the bags are of this quality, I can give you 20 per pound."

Pi Qinghua smiled when he heard this. "Whatever you say, it's fine, even 15 is fine. After all, I've been wandering outside for a few years and have seen a lot of doctors. You are one of the few kind-hearted people among them."

Uncle An was delighted when he heard this. When he was treated by patients in his yard, some people said that he was a kind-hearted doctor. But in comparison, he liked Pi Qinghua's casual but sincere words more. "Okay, kid, stop flattering me. If you keep saying that, I won't sell you the Magnolia Bark at the price of Guijianyu. This bag is 50 kilograms, so I'll give you 1,000 yuan. Let me see the Guijianyu and Dictamni. These two are high-grade medicinal materials. If they are good, you can make a lot of money this time."

Pi Qinghua squinted his eyes and handed over the two medicinal herbs.

"Eh..." Uncle An also reached out and grabbed a handful of ghost feathers and white mulberry bark, and this time he let out another surprised sound. "You are really good! Is this really your first time collecting? But you are more selective than an old hand. These are all middle-to-high quality. These few can barely be considered as top quality."

Pi Qinghua laughed from the bottom of his heart this time. No matter whether these were upper-middle quality or top-quality, he knew that they must be very valuable.

Uncle An was puzzled at this time. This guy was wearing a mask that covered most of his face and was dressed very ordinary. Apart from his overly bright eyes, he really didn't look special. However, the herbs he provided had almost no impurities and were semi-finished products with very good efficacy. If these herbs were purchased from his hometown, then it can only be said that the feng shui of this boy's hometown is very good. If he selected them from various places, then this boy's vision for selecting herbs was quite sharp.

"Uncle An? Can you tell me how much these are in total?"

Uncle An came back to his senses and couldn't help but laugh in his heart. Looking at this young man, he was still an immature person. Even if he had good vision, he would not get into any trouble.

"Gui Jianyu is fifty yuan per catty, and yours are all of medium to high quality, so I'll give you sixty yuan per catty. The same goes for Baixianpi, eighty yuan per catty, ninety yuan, a total of three thousand, plus the one thousand yuan before, so this time I'll give you a total of four thousand yuan. How do you think?"

Pi Qinghua smiled so much that his eyes curved, "Of course, thank you Uncle An for taking care of me."

There was a golden light flashing in Langzhi's little eyes, "Thank you Grandpa An, Grandpa An is the best!" He automatically acted cute without explaining, it was all for money!

And Dahei was wagging his tail outside the door so hard that it looked like a windmill.

Old An shook his head and smiled, pointing at the three guys who looked like him to the bone, and then handed Pi Qinghua a card. "I'll transfer the money to this card, the password is 654321, you can change it when you go to withdraw the money. After all, this place is crowded with people, and there are many petty thieves, so it's best not to show off your wealth."

Pi Qinghua was slightly touched, "You've taken the trouble. Thank you." He hadn't felt this kind of care and concern from an elder for a long time.

Uncle An smiled and nodded, then said, "I may not be able to cure the burn on your face, but leaving it like this will affect the condition of the other half of your face in the future. If you ever come to your senses and are willing to let me take a look, I will prescribe you a medicine so that you can apply it on your face, which will at least make you feel better."

Until this moment, Pi Qinghua's eyes, which had never changed, suddenly turned red. He suppressed his sourness and nodded: "I have other things to do today. I will show you next time I come."

Uncle An sighed slightly when he saw his expression: "You are still young, there is nothing you cannot overcome. Just be at ease."

Pi Qinghua turned and left with a complicated look. Lang Zhi walked halfway and suddenly turned back, hugged Uncle An's thigh, and whispered thank you.

Uncle An looked at the backs of the big, small and lame black dog, and for some reason his eyes became slightly moist. From his direction, the backs of these three people always gave people a feeling of sadness and hardship, but the most touching thing was that in addition to these two feelings, there was another feeling that overwhelmed them, that is, the will of "never giving up and never giving up".

"Oh, they are all stubborn people."

Uncle An smiled and shook his head. Then he was horrified to hear a deep and magnetic voice in his ear agreeing, "Yeah, yeah, the big one is stubborn, the little one follows suit, and the dog is annoying too. It's really unpleasant no matter how you look at it."

“…Who are you?”

President Lang looked at the speechless and surprised man opposite him and suddenly looked confused: "You don't even know me? I'm their neighbor! You said that the man's face will get worse if it's not treated? Can you cure it? Is there a doctor better than you? Just say a word and I'll let him go and treat it."

Uncle An: “… ” Where did this lunatic come from? Do I need to know you? !

"Hurry up and tell me!"

Uncle An: "Let me prescribe you a medicine for your brain! I guarantee it will cure your disease."

Lang Yixing: “… ” I’ll beat you to death.
