Xu Qian's finger was pricked, and her expression suddenly became nervous. She took a few steps back and accidentally stepped on Zuo Xiaomu, the person behind her. In panic, Zhong Kui did not help her, but left quickly.

The latter hurriedly put his arms around Xu Qian, who was staggering and about to fall. When he saw the blood on her fingertips that looked like red plum blossoms, he grabbed her hand...before he made the next move.

There was a crisp sound of a slap, which actually landed on his face.

Vanilla on the side was shocked. She looked at Zuo Xiaomu who was being beaten, and then at Xu Qian who was beating. For a moment, she didn't understand what the relationship between them was. She just saw them hugging each other ambiguously, and suddenly she became tense again.

.

"...You..." Zuo Xiaomu let go of Xu Qian, covered his hot face, and looked at her in surprise.

Xu Qian, who hit the person, turned her face away without saying anything. She just felt pain for the pricked finger. She squeezed the injured fingertip tightly and felt the pain from her fingers to her heart. She frowned in pain...

Zhong Kui did not go far. He went to the back room to find Yunnan Baiyao to apply to Xu Qian's wounds.

Seeing that he did not leave, her eyes flashed and she seemed a little moved.

Vanilla observed the words and hurriedly took the white plastic medicine bottle brought by Zhong Kui. A ball of white fluffy cotton ball was shaken out from the bottle, followed by a hemp-gray pill, and then the lime-gray powder.

Yunnan Baiyao has always been effective in treating blood and removing blood stasis. The cotton ball at the mouth of the bottle is to prevent the powder from becoming damp, and the hemp-gray pill retains the medicinal properties and will not be lost.

A little bit of medicinal powder was shaken on Xu Qian's fingertips, and the blood beads immediately stopped from invading. She carefully picked the herbs from the wall, and a spider film gently covered the area where the medicine was applied.

"Vanilla, you can be a barefoot doctor now. It's really good. It doesn't hurt anymore." Xu Qian said with a smile on her too pale cheeks.

"This is not my fault, it is the curative effect of Yunnan Baiyao."

"Can this be washed off later?" Xu Qian looked at the black spider film worriedly.

"It can be washed off, don't worry."

Zhong Kui has already packed up the willow branch bonsai and is going to take this with him to find a workshop.

Zuo Xiaomu was very surprised. Since there was this bonsai, why didn't he think of tracing it to find the source? As long as he found the source, wouldn't he know where its workshop was? Why bother to search it out?

In order to facilitate the search, Zhong Kui and Zuo Xiaomu decided to search one by one on foot. The county town is not very wide anyway, so it would take at most three hours to walk back and forth, and the time happened to be close to dinner time.

Looking at Zuo Xiaomu's puzzled eyes, he smiled happily and said: "This thing was sent by someone else to give vanilla. She didn't know who sent it. She thought about it for a long time and couldn't figure it out. I had to check them one by one. Anyway, the county is running

There are not many businesses in this kind of workshops, because this thing seems not very popular in the county. One is because people don’t have the spare money in their pockets to show off, and the other is because the county is still developing, and everyone is busy running for life.

, no one pays attention to this thing."

"Oh! That's it." Zuo Xiaomu nodded as if he had some understanding.

In front of it was a barber shop, with a man who specialized in shaving his head. He held a shiny razor in his hand and shaved people's hair until it was shiny. The price for shaving was cheap, it seemed like 25 cents per head.

In Zhong Kui's memory, there are eight popular members in today's society. The barber seems to be one of them! 'Conductor, barber, cook, salesperson, driver, postman, childcare worker, and waiter.

Touching the stubble on his face, he suddenly remembered that he was going to shave his head. Except for the barber's shaving burden, which could be moved around, the others were regular office workers. The two of them looked at the market and saw an old man's hand on the street or on the side of the road.

Take a knife, and the furniture you bring is a chair and a bucket. The process of shaving is: push, shave, and clean.

He sat down with a steady expression, shyly and calmly placed himself in a very casual place. Looking at the simple tools and skillful skills of the barber, more than ten minutes passed, and Zhong Kui's hair, which was unkempt not long ago, became fresher.

Next is shaving. First use a hot towel to soften it, apply soap lather, and then rub the razor on the cloth repeatedly. When it feels sharp, start to cut. The razor is in his hands.

The facial features move around and around with ease.

The barber looked attentive, and he was relaxed and calm. The communication between people was so simple, and everything seemed to have nothing to do with the environment and facilities.

Zuo Xiaomu on the side came from a big city after all. He smacked his lips as he looked at the razor moving nimbly in the barber's hand. His heart was on edge, fearing that the other party would accidentally scratch Zhong Kui's head with the razor.

superior.

Leaving the barber, they went straight to a small workshop called Magic Hair House. It was said to be a small workshop, but in fact it was just a small sales point.

The store is not small, but the furnishings are very simple.

The shop was deserted, perhaps because of the late rain at noon today. The shop owner was a woman in her late fifties who still retained her charm. She only raised her head and glanced at the two of them, then lowered her head again and continued busy with her business.

work.

Just this casual glance was enough to make Zhong Kui and Zuo Xiaomu never forget it when they came in. The woman's eyes were very ferocious.

Zhong Kui has strong concentration, but he just takes it lightly.

Zuo Xiaomu, however, after looking at each other, trembled slightly and felt sad.

There is a counter next to the door. There are various handicrafts lined up on the counter. These handicrafts are all made of a kind of raw material. They are made of filaments that feel flexible and resemble human hair.

I looked carefully one by one, but there was no willow branch bonsai that he carried with him.

He took out the willow branch bonsai and asked, "Madam boss, can you make this kind of bonsai here?" Zhong Kui placed the willow branch bonsai on the counter and asked.

At first, the woman was too busy with another handicraft that was about to be baked, so she was too lazy to talk to them. Now she saw the other person taking out a bonsai with willow branches, her eyes flashed, and a strange look flashed on her face. She quickly put down her hand.

The work inside came over.

This handicraft still needs to be divided into three levels: upper, middle and lower. Willow branch bonsai is considered a high-quality product from the upper level. That's why its appearance attracted the attention of the landlady.

"Your willow bonsai is the only fine product in our shop. How did you get it?"

When the woman asked what to say, both Zhong Kui and Zuo Xiaomu were stunned for a moment and did not understand. It was not the woman's question that stopped them, but the woman's voice that surprised Zhong Kui.
