An alchemy furnace fell from the sky

In the early morning of the next day, Xu Fu was still hesitating whether to leave or not. He was sitting on a stone bench in the yard, lost in thought.

"Great joy!"

Xu Fu was startled by a shout. Before Ji Changhe arrived, the shout had already resounded throughout the hospital.

As soon as Ji Changhe stepped into the courtyard, he laughed loudly at Xu Fu and said, "Congratulations to Brother Xu."

"What happy event?" Xu Fu stood up and went to greet him, asking, "Has the reward been prepared?"

"The money is ready, but I'm afraid Brother Xu won't be able to take it with him."

Xu Fu's expression changed. Before he could ask, Ji Changhe slapped a money bag on Xu Fu's hand and laughed loudly: "My father has decided to betroth my sister-in-law to Brother Xu. From now on, we will be one family."

"Ah?" Xu Fu was stunned for a moment. How could he have thought that Miss He, who would be disgusted if he looked at her even more, actually wanted to be his wife? Thinking of Ji Qingrou's charming appearance, Xu Fu couldn't help but feel hot in his heart. Before he could say anything, he was dragged to the main hall of Ji Mansion by Ji Changhe.

There were only Ji Jian and a few serving maids in the main hall. Seeing Xu Fu coming, Ji Jian hurriedly asked him to sit down nearby, and ordered someone to call the young lady to come over.

Ji Jian was extremely enthusiastic today, as if he regarded Xu Fu as his junior, and he found out about Xu Fu's life experience while chatting.

"Without anyone to rely on, it's just the right time to get married." Ji Jian became more and more satisfied with Xu Fu as he looked at him. Although the young man in front of him is thinner, he is born with supernatural power and is extremely brave. If he can practice a few more martial arts, he will be able to protect Ji's family from foreign troubles for decades. In addition, he can keep his daughter by his side and don't have to worry about her being in other people's homes. Everyone is really happy to be angry.

While he was talking happily, a maid hurried over and said anxiously: "Master, Miss, Miss, she won't come, she said, she said..."

"What did she say?" Ji Jian asked with a frown.

"She said she would never marry this guy, this... this stinky beggar, if I force her anymore, she will hang herself from the girdle."

After hearing what the maid said, the faces of the Ji family father and son and Xu Fu changed. Ji Jian asked Xu Fu to wait for a moment, then walked quickly towards his daughter's boudoir with Ji Changhe.

Xu Fu clenched his hands into fists and dug his nails into his palms. He felt a slight pain in his rough skin before letting go of his hands. His chest felt uncomfortable and he breathed heavily for several times, but it still couldn't be relieved.

Xu Fu took out the money bag Ji Changhe gave him, which contained a thick stack of banknotes. Xu Fu took out two and slapped them on the table, stood up and strode out.

After leaving the gate of Ji Mansion, he asked someone casually for the direction of Shao Shopping Mall, and then he ran as fast as a galloping horse. It took him as long as a stick of incense. It wasn't until the stagnation in his chest dissipated that Xu Fu finally Stop your feet.

Xu Fu reflected on the fact that he had been treated as a distinguished guest by the Ji family these past few days, and he was indeed feeling a little elated. Now Miss Ji's words made Xu Fu realize that in the eyes of those wealthy families, he was actually a "stinky beggar."

But this is understandable. Xu Fu has understood this truth since he was a child. If he wants others to respect him, he must be better than others.

"You stinky beggar? When I become an alchemist, see if I don't scold you back!" Xu Fu thought to himself, feeling much better. He touched the banknotes in his pocket and felt reassured that the money was real. It's a good thing.

Suddenly, a slight noise nearby reached his ears. Xu Fu glanced over and saw a gray hare curled up in a bush not far away, and he couldn't help but become more playful. He first tiptoed a few steps towards the grass, then suddenly roared, which scared the rabbit and turned around and ran away. Unexpectedly, he ran so fast that he bumped into a dead tree nearby and fainted.

Xu Fu was overjoyed and thought that it was really a good thing that pie fell from the sky! He hurriedly picked up the rabbit, slaughtered and skinned it skillfully, picked up some dead branches, and roasted the rabbit on the fire.

Xu Fu has been fond of doing this kind of things like rabbits and digging out bird's nests since he was a child. Later, he worked for Huang Youcai's family to herd cattle and couldn't eat enough all day long. He did these things often, and naturally he became more and more skilled in barbecue skills.

After roasting for half an hour, the whole rabbit was roasted to a fragrant aroma. The dark brown rabbit meat was covered with fat and looked extremely attractive. Xu Fu dug into his pockets and secretly felt lucky that he had always carried these barbecue "babies" with him. As soon as he sprinkled the homemade seasonings evenly on the rabbit meat, an alluring aroma spread, making his appetite whet his appetite. .

Swallowing heavily, Xu Fu couldn't wait to tear off a rabbit leg and took a big bite. The rabbit meat was very chewy, Xu Fu grilled it at a good temperature, and with the homemade seasonings, it was much stronger than the one Ji Qingrou and the others used to lure the fox. Thinking of Ji Qingrou, Xu Fu still felt awkward, so he bit hard again. After taking a bite, the bones were thrown into the grass not far away.

While eating, Xu Fu suddenly heard another noise.

"Is there another rabbit?" Xu Fu was filled with joy, and he quietly thought of repeating his old trick, so that dinner would be settled.

Before he could get closer, he saw a white shadow emerging from the grass and escaping as fast as he could, which startled Xu Fu.

"Isn't this the silver fox?" Xu Fu looked at the silver-white fur and was surprised, "Why did it come here?"

The silver fox did not run far. After running not far away, it turned around and stared at Xu Fu very vigilantly. Seeing that Xu Fu had no intention of chasing it, it put down the thing in its mouth and started to chew hard. It was a rabbit leg bone that Xu Fu had just thrown away.

Xu Fu looked at the dry and flat belly of the silver fox and saw how hard it was chewing bones. He felt inexplicably sour and threw away the rabbit leg that he had only eaten two bites of.

The rabbit's leg almost hit the silver fox, which frightened the little guy so much that it jumped to one side, but soon came back with a sniffle. Seeing that Xu Fu was still standing at a distance, he lowered his head and looked carefully. He sniffed the rabbit leg and started to bite it.

Xu Fu smiled happily when he saw it eating meat. He looked at it and saw that it was getting late. He picked up the remaining half of the roasted rabbit and walked ahead while eating.

After walking about ten steps, Xu Fu noticed movement behind him. He turned around and saw the silver fox following him with a rabbit leg in its mouth. When Xu Fu stopped, it stopped too, then put down the rabbit leg and continued to eat.

As soon as Xu Fu turned around and walked away, the little guy quickly picked up the rabbit leg again and continued to follow.

"Ha!" Xu Fu turned around suddenly and shouted loudly, which scared the fox and turned around and ran away. But not long after, the fox came back and followed him not far or near.

Seeing that this trick didn't work, Xu Fu ran away. With Xu Fu's current strength, he could run for several miles effortlessly, and the speed was not slow. Even if he was riding a horse, he might not be able to catch up.

After running for a while, Xu Fu stopped, looked at the empty place behind him, with a satisfied smile on his face, and continued to tear the rabbit meat into his mouth as he walked forward.

Seeing that the rabbit had almost eaten, Xu Fu suddenly felt something. Looking back, he saw the silver fox running towards this direction from a distance, its silver fur shining brightly in the sun, and a huge fox in its mouth. The rabbit legs make it look particularly difficult to run.

Xu Fu did not run anymore, but watched helplessly as the little fox ran up to him and struggled to spit out the rabbit legs from his mouth. His body was heaving slightly, obviously very tired.

Xu Fu felt that a soft spot in his heart had been scratched, and he actually felt a different kind of warmth from this little fox.

Perhaps because he was too tired from running, the little fox rested for a while before continuing to tear at the rabbit's leg that was mostly left. Xu Fu simply sat down next to him and ate with the little fox.

After eating all the rabbit legs, the little fox lay down on the ground, squinting his eyes very satisfied, as if he was ready to take a nap.

Xu Fu didn't have time to delay any longer, so he picked it up directly by holding its belly and put it in his arms. The little fox struggled for a while, then felt that Xu Fu had no ill intentions, so he stopped resisting and changed into a comfortable position. Lie down honestly.

"Since you don't mind it, then follow me from now on!" Xu Fu touched the banknote in his arms again. Since he has so much money, he can't miss it.

Xu Fu didn't dare to stop anymore and continued on his way. Finally, he arrived at a city before dark.

The tall city looks solemn and solemn in the afterglow of the setting sun. It is worthy of being a big city. Just looking at this momentum, it cannot be compared with villages and towns.

Above the tall city gate, the two simple characters "Shaoshang" have gone through many years and are full of vicissitudes of life.

This was the first time he came back to the city. Xu Fu was very excited. He took the sleeping little fox three steps at a time and walked through the city gate.

As soon as we entered the city, we saw a spacious old stone street in front of us. Many of the stone slabs were worn and broken, and we didn't know how many years they had been stepped on. It was getting late at this time, and many vendors setting up stalls on both sides of the street had already begun to pack up their things, and several street-facing shops had also lit up lights.

As Xu Fu walked along the street, he curiously visited the shops on both sides. There were shops selling clothes and jewelry, swords, guns and sticks, as well as fish, insects, birds and beasts. It was dizzying to see.

Although the streets are still very lively, the first priority is to find a place to stay. After walking around for a long time, I couldn't find a place that looked like an inn. Finally, I asked a passerby and found out that the inn was in the northwest corner of Shaoshang City. I had been wandering around this place where I was doing business, so naturally it was Can't be found.

Xu Fu knew the direction, found a nearby inn and stayed in it. An ordinary room cost one tael of silver a day. The price made Xu Fu stunned for a while, but after all, he had thousands of taels of silver lying around, so Xu Fu didn't care too much. It was a rare thing to do. If you are a rich person, don't wrong yourself too much.

The room was very spacious. When Xu Fu entered the door, he put the sleeping little fox on a soft cushion. In case it was thirsty, he poured a bowl of water and put it on the ground. The little fox must have been exhausted. After tidying up for a while, Xu Fu saw that it was still sleeping, so he quietly closed the door and ran out to play.

It was already dark, but there were still many people on the street, and the lights of the open shops on both sides were on. Xu Fu wandered leisurely on this brightly lit street. It didn't take long for him to grab several kinds of food with both hands and eat while shopping. This was the first time Xu Fu experienced the feeling of being rich, and it was really great.

After finishing the last meat skewer, Xu Fu looked around and was debating what to eat when he was inadvertently attracted by several squares of yellow paper taped to the wall.

Xu Fu stepped forward out of curiosity and took a closer look by the candlelight of a nearby shop. He couldn't help but sigh: "What a coincidence!"

This yellow paper is a reward notice, saying that they are looking for a fox with silver fur.

"The bounty is...a third-grade elixir?" Xu Fu's eyes immediately lit up when he saw the bounty. After listening to Ji Changhe's explanation, he also knew how valuable this third-grade elixir was. The person who offered the bounty paid such a price just for a fox. Big money, is there something strange about this fox?

Xu Fu's originally relaxed mood suddenly became entangled. He met the fox unexpectedly, and it seemed that there was nothing unreasonable about exchanging it for the elixir. However, the image of the little fox running towards him with the rabbit leg in its mouth frequently appeared in front of his eyes, and he was sent away like this. , I’m really a little worried. If the rewarder is the owner of the little fox, then it should be returned to him, but if not...

Xu Fu struggled for a while and decided to go to the person who offered the reward tomorrow.

With no intention of wandering around, Xu Fu returned to the inn. When he opened the door, he found that the mat where the little fox slept was empty. Xu Fu was shocked, "Did someone capture him?"

Before Xu Fu could think of other possibilities, a silver-white figure quickly sprang out from the corner, ran to Xu Fu's feet and rubbed his head.

Xu Fu picked up the silver fox and, despite its strong resistance, checked it all over and made sure there were no signs before he stopped.

Xu Fu decided to ask the person who offered the reward carefully tomorrow what kind of silver fox he lost. If the other party couldn't answer, he would say nothing to hand over the silver fox. He remembered that Ji Changhe had said that spiritual beasts could also make elixirs!

The next morning, Xu Fu simply tidied up and took the fox out.

This Shao Shopping Mall was very busy early in the morning. Many shops had already opened their doors. Big balls of hot steam were coming out from inside. There were all kinds of pastries, many of which Xu Fu had never seen before. There were appetizing smells floating everywhere. Open fragrance.

Xu Fu bought some snacks and ate them casually. Then he followed what was written on the list, inquired all the way, and walked in the direction of Li Mansion.

Standing outside the gate of Li Mansion, Xu Fu had a new understanding of the prosperity of Shao Shang Mall. The house in front of him was much larger than Ji Changhe's house. It felt like even half the village could live in it. .

Xu Fu did not enter directly through the gate, but walked to the west wall of the house as if nothing had happened. He listened carefully and heard that there was no movement in the wall. When no one was around, he put the silver fox in his arms, jumped lightly, and caught it. He reached the upper edge of the courtyard wall, turned over and jumped into the courtyard.

"Since the announcement was issued in the name of the Li Mansion, the person who issued the announcement should be the owner of the Li Mansion. The owner's family lives in the middle, right?" Xu Fu thought in his mind, estimated the location, and walked forward furtively.

"Should come at night."

This was the first time he broke into a private house without permission. Xu Fu felt guilty and felt his heart was about to jump out of his chest. He was afraid of being caught. The sound of a bird's chirping could scare him into a cold sweat.

Fortunately, there were not many servants in Nuo Da's house. After Xu Fu avoided a few people with vigilance, he discovered that there was indeed a single house almost in the center of the house.

"Someone!"

As soon as Xu Fu got closer, he heard slight footsteps coming from the room. He crouched down and put his ear to the wall, trying to listen carefully to what was going on inside.

A "creak" sounded above his head, startling Xu Fu.

When Xu Fu looked up, he found a girl with fairer skin than snow staring at him in surprise.

"What are you doing?" The woman's voice was extremely soft, like a small hand caressing Xu Fu's racing heart. Xu Fu felt less panicked.

"I'm...catching mice." Xu Fu's mind was spinning rapidly, he pretended to put his ear to the wall again, knocked on the wall in a pretentious manner, and said to himself: "There is no room in this room, I will go to the next room to see Look." After saying that, he stood up and walked quickly to the side.

"Wait a minute!" the girl shouted: "There seems to be one in this room."
