Chapter 301： Not timid

Early the next morning, Ying Bao followed his second senior brother down the mountain.

Zhang Min was familiar with Fucheng. He hired a donkey cart first when he went down the mountain and quickly found Kang'an Pharmacy.

Yingbao stood at the door of the drug store and looked at it before stepping in.

The shop seemed to have just opened, and the boy was cleaning the counter with a feather duster. When he saw two children wearing medical robes, he couldn't help but take a closer look.

“Excuse me, does Sister Wen Shu live here?” Ying Bao asked.

This pharmacy is not big, just two rooms, but the back leads to a courtyard. Wen Shu once wrote a letter saying that their family lived in the backyard of the shop, and her younger brother Wen Hengyin also came from Yuzhou and studied in Fucheng.

The boy asked: "Who are you?"

“I’m her friend Jiang Yingbao. Go and call her over!”

The boy had heard of Jiang Yingbao's name, and nodded quickly: "I'll call you right away." After saying that, he quickly ran to the back door and shouted inside: "Cousin Wen Shu! Jiang Yingbao is here!"

After shouting, the boy ran back with a smile and introduced himself: "My name is Xiao Liang, I am Wen Shu's cousin, and I have long admired the name of sister Jiang Yingbao."

Yingbao blinked and said, "It turns out to be Brother Xiao Liang." She had heard Wen Shu mention this once, saying that her distant cousin's family had fallen into poverty and was working as an apprentice in her family's pharmacy.

After a while, there was a sound of footsteps, and Wen Shu and his younger brother Wen Hengyin appeared at the back door.

"Yingbao!" Wen Shu walked out from the counter and hugged the seven-year-old girl. "I can see you. When did you come to Fucheng? Where do you live now? Why not stay at my house and live with me at night."

Ying Bao also hugged Wen Shu and said, "Master and I live in Jinding Taoist Temple." Then he pointed at Zhang Min and said, "He is my second senior brother Zhang Min."

Wen Shu saluted Zhang Min and said, "I've met Senior Brother Zhang."

Zhang Min scratched his head and returned the greeting.

At this time, Wen Hengyin squeezed over, looked at the little girl, and asked: "Yingbao, why are you wearing the student robe of the Medical Department?"

“Because I entered the yin and yang department of the county medical office.” Ying Bao hasn’t told Wen Shu about this yet, so she doesn’t know.

Wen Shu was shocked: "Why did you study Yin Yang?" The concepts of Yin Yang and medicine were completely different, and she didn't understand why Ying Bao wanted to learn it.

Ying Bao sighed: "It's a long story."

Wen Shu grabbed Ying Bao and said, "Let's go into the house and talk slowly."

Wen Hengyin also invited Zhang Min into the backyard.

They came to the flower hall in the backyard. Xiao Zhenniang happened to come out, took Ying Bao's hand and sat down on the arhat: "Ying Bao, why are you here in Fucheng?"

“I traveled here with Master Zhou.” Yingbao told the whole story: “Master Zhou said that he would stay in Fucheng for a month and then travel elsewhere.”

“Is your master Master Zhou Wuchang?” Xiao Zhenniang asked.

Yingbao nodded: "Yes."

Xiao Zhenniang smiled, "Yingbao is so lucky to be admitted to Master Zhou's sect."

Everyone in the world respects the Forbidden Curse Masters, and those highly respected Forbidden Curse Masters are even more sought after, and Master Zhou is the most outstanding one among them.

Yingbao didn’t expect that Mrs. Wen also knew Master Zhou, so she couldn’t help but be curious: “Do you know him too?”

“Who in the whole state doesn’t know him?” Xiao Zhenniang said with a smile: “The master’s status is extraordinary, and he is also an incredible forbidden spell master. Many people want to see his spell-casting style.”

She glanced at her son and said, "If the master had not accepted any more disciples, I would have sent Heng Yin to be his disciple."

Wen Hengyin:······

Yingbao and Mrs. Wen talked for a while, and then heard Mrs. Wen say: "Yingbao, just stay here and wait for the altar to be opened in Jinding Mountain before going back. I am going to the Wei Mansion now to see Mrs. Wei." ”

Mrs. Wei's body is particularly weak this year. She catches cold and fever at every turn. Now she can't get out of bed. Even if she feeds her the golden fungus produced by the Jiang family, it will be useless.

Ying Bao: "Master, please be busy first, I'll talk to Sister Wen."

Xiao Zhenniang touched Ying Bao's head, got up and went to get the medicine box.

Finally she took a maid out of the house and walked straight to the Wei family.

The Wei family is not far from here, just a two-minute walk away. Xiao Zhenniang was holding up the hem of her skirt and stepping into the side door when she saw Wei Zhanzhen running towards her in a hurry.

"Aunt Wen, is Wen Hengyin at home?" Wei Zhan saw Xiao Zhenniang and immediately stopped: "I want to play with him."

After Wen Hengyin came to Fucheng, he studied in the best school in Fucheng, and happened to be a classmate with Wei Zhan.

Xiao Zhenniang smiled: "I'm at home, but Ying Bao is here and he is playing with Ying Bao."

"What? Yingbao is here?" Wei Zhan's eyes lit up and he ran out of the door: "I'll go take a look!"

Xiao Zhenniang shook her head and followed the Wei family servant woman into the inner courtyard with her maid.

Wei Zhan ran all the way and soon arrived at Wen's shop.

The two young men following behind were panting from exhaustion: "Young Master, you...slow down."

Wei Zhan ignored them, rushed directly to the back of Wen's shop, stood in the courtyard and shouted: "Yingbao! Yingbao!"

Ying Bao, who was talking to Wen Shu, was stunned by the voice and saw Wei Zhan running into the flower hall.

"When did you come? Why didn't you come to see me?" Wei Zhan looked at the little girl with surprise on his face.

Yingbao said angrily: "I would like to visit you, but I can't find your home."

Wei Zhan’s eyes turned into crescent moon smiles: “Then I will take you to find him now.”

Wen Shu smiled and said, "Yingbao just arrived at my house. Let's go to your house in two days."

Wei Zhan rubbed his nose and said hum.

At noon, the Wen family left a meal, and Wei Zhan also stayed for a meal.

After lunch, Zhang Min was pestered by Wen Hengyin and Wei Zhan.

The two of them strongly requested Zhang Min to draw a talisman for them to see.

Zhang Min was helpless, so he took the paper and pen they handed him and drew a spell.

“Wow wow wow! It’s so interesting. I want to learn forbidden spells too!” Wei Zhan kept arguing: “I will learn how to draw talismans with Ying Bao from now on.”

Wen Hengyin frowned when he heard this.

The children played for a while, then went to the street with Zhang Min to buy blank talisman paper and brushes with cinnabar, and also learned to draw talismans.

Two nine-year-old children and a 12-year-old boy drew a few ghost symbols at random, and soon lost their patience.

Wei Zhan suggested going to the river ditch near Xiao’s house to fish, and then come back and bake it in the evening.

The boys naturally had no objection, so they ran out in droves, found branches and bamboo poles, and asked the boys to dig up earthworms to use as fishing bait.

In the end, we didn’t catch any fish, but we caught a lot of big crabs and prawns, as well as an old turtle.

 Wei Zhan was so happy that he quickly asked the servant to take care of these things and take them to Wen's house later.

“Let’s eat crabs at night, the fried ones are the best.” Wei Zhan still missed the fried fish and fried prawns he had eaten at Jiang’s house.

“Okay! Fry!” Wen Hengyin nodded in agreement.

A few people were playing enthusiastically when they suddenly saw a young man walking towards them from a distance.

"Wei Zhan, what are you doing here if you don't go to school?" the young man asked.

Wei Zhan: "I'm off to take a bath today, we don't have to go to school."

The young man walked closer and looked at Zhang Min, and his eyes suddenly turned sharp.

Zhang Min also saw him and stood up slowly. "Xiao Chengjun."

Xiao Chengjun sneered: "Zhang Min, when you hurt me, you still dare to come to Fucheng. You are very courageous!"
