When the sky got brighter and there were more and more pedestrians on the street, I saw that the door of the Chinese medicine shop in the city was full of people.
A closer look revealed that most of the people who came to buy medicine and seek medical treatment were dressed as young men. They said that their masters’ symptoms were all cold, evil spirits, palpitations, and excessive fright. However, they themselves looked haggard, with bloodshot eyes and black eyes. His appearance is no better than the fear of the master they call him.
The drugstores who were consulted all understood the reason. After prescribing a medicine pack to soothe the nerves and remove the cold, they sympathetically and kindly told them, “If you still don’t feel better after taking these medicines, then go to Si Ye Mansion or the Temple.” Please. The side door of Siye Mansion is the entrance and exit of the night tour class and the part-time children in the mansion. Some part-time medicine boys have been able to make longevity medicine powder, which has miraculous effects on your illnesses. ”
“You don’t have this longevity medicine powder here?” the boy asked.
The drug store owner said, “I have some, but not much. I have to keep it for myself.”
He said it calmly and directly, and the waiter was dubious, “I’ll buy it at a high price.”
The drug store owner waved his hand and said, “We won’t sell it.”
There is no drug store that doesn’t sell medicine. The waiter felt that the boss still wanted to raise the price on the spot, so he was annoyed for a while, took the medicine package to soothe the nerves and ward off the cold, and left.
Coincidentally, among the boys who came to this pharmacy to buy medicine, there was the businessman who bought medicine powder from Chen Erya yesterday.
The businessman who could tease his friends yesterday was now leaning on the bed with a pale and blue face.
After a while, the boy prepared a tranquilizer and brought it to him. The businessman frowned and drank it, but he still didn’t feel good.
The boy did not go out with his master last night, but stayed in the inn to take care of things. Fortunately, he escaped from being frightened and sick. At this time, seeing that his master was still not energetic after drinking the medicine, he told his master what he had seen on the road and at the drug store.
The businessman felt very complicated when he heard that there were many foreigners who had the same problem as him.
If it weren’t for his poor health, he would have wanted to leave Beiyuan City immediately.
When the boy mentioned what the medicine shop owner said, the word “longevity medicine powder” seemed familiar to the businessman.
He thought hard and finally remembered that this was what he bought from the little girl’s stall.
With the memory picture, what the little girl said and what happened in the teahouse later came to mind.
The businessman called to the boy, “Where are the clothes I wore yesterday?”
The boy said uneasily: “I haven’t taken it to be cleaned yet. I will go now…”
The businessman interrupted, “Bring it to me quickly.”
The boy didn’t understand what his master meant, so he followed his instructions and went to get the dirty clothes back.
Because he was so frightened last night, the businessman fell down during the trip, so his clothes were stained in many places.
As if invisible, the businessman rummaged through his clothes and found the medicine powder packet he bought yesterday from the inner pocket of his sleeve.
so far so good.
