Chapter 62: A Little Storm
"Actually, it's very simple, because the name of that bridge can't be crossed!" Fang Bei's answer made Xiaowei feel empowered, but it was very unpleasant and very depressed.
Immediately, Fang Bei said with a serious face: "You lost, according to the rules." You have to promise me one thing. ”
"I am willing to lose the bet, you say, what is the matter?" Xiaowei said so, but she was a little reluctant in her heart.
"My request is simple. Fang Bei looked directly at Xiaowei, which made the latter a little embarrassed, and unconsciously thought of some uneasy things in his heart. Could it be that Fang Fang didn't plan to let her do that?
Fortunately, it was just a wishful thinking misunderstanding on the part of Xiaowei, and Fang Bei himself didn't plan to do something indescribable. Fang Bei said to Xiaowei half-jokingly and half-seriously: "Niu, give the master a smile!"
"Ahh Fang Bei paused again, and slowly emphasized it again. "I don't like to see you with a strained face, the most important thing is to be happy. So it's easy to say, just a happy smile. ”
Xiaowei's heart was touched, and she finally understood that Fang Bei had spent a lot of time in circles for a long time, and her purpose was just to make herself happy, hoping that she could forget some troublesome things for a while. Thinking of this, Xiaowei was overjoyed and smiled sincerely.
"Well, that's good, that's right. Fang Bei winked his eyebrows at Xiaowei, and was very relieved. After a while, he offered to come again. "It's getting dark, let's not delay any longer, let's go buy medicine for your grandmother and her old man." ”
Xiaowei nodded, and immediately took Fang Bei to a nearby Chinese medicine pharmacy. The two of them went at the right time, and if it was a little later, the pharmacy would have closed for work.
"Boss, I need two coins each of licorice, bupleurum, tangerine peel, and gardenia, and prepare five coins of Poria cocos for me, two coins of angelica, ......" Fang Bei was just halfway through his words, and was signaled by the pharmacy boss, so he had to stop first.
The pharmacy owner was embarrassed to say to the other party: "Little brother, I'm really embarrassed." The flavor of Poria cocos you need, we happened to be out of stock in our store, and we really can't provide it to you. ”
"Is there nothing left?" Fang Bei asked without giving up, all he needed was a mere five dollars, and the amount was not very much. However, I saw that the owner of the pharmacy shook his head and said helplessly. "Little brother, I know at a glance that you are also a person who is proficient in medicine, so you should also be clear. Poria cocos is harvested from July to September, and in general, the amount of stock in our store is not very large. So it's not a strange thing that you can't buy it now, right?"
"So, can you tell me where I can buy it nearby?" In the other prescriptions, Poria cocos was a medicinal herb that played a vital role, so he had to get it anyway.
"Well, let me think about it......" The boss lowered his head and pondered for a long time, and then finally raised his head, don't say anything to the other party. "If you're really in a hurry, maybe you can go to the Chinese medicine market in the south of the city. Not only are there a wide variety of medicinal herbs there, but they are also inexpensive. However, there is a disadvantage, the merchants over there are basically only engaged in wholesale, and people like you who only buy a few dollars may not be willing to sell to you. ”
The problem mentioned by the owner of the pharmacy is not too difficult in Fang Bei's opinion. He didn't believe it, could it be that when business came to his door, there would be businessmen who would turn him away?
"Let's just do it, boss, you can prepare the other herbs for me. As for the ones that are missing in your store, I will go to the Chinese medicine market myself to buy them later. Fang Bei took out his wallet and paid the corresponding price happily. I have to say that it is not easy for him to come all the way to see a doctor, not only does he not have medical expenses, but he has to pay for medicine by himself. If it weren't for Xiaowei's face, then he must have lost his mind to do that.
After thanking the boss, Fang Bei and Xiaowei turned around and left the pharmacy. Xiaowei asked, "Do we need to take a taxi to the Chinese medicine market in the south of the city now?"
"Why not?" Fang didn't ask rhetorically, he was a person who treated patients very carefully, and would never let them go, let alone keep putting it off.
The two took a taxi on the street and waited for a few minutes in vain, but they couldn't see half a taxi at all. Fang Bei was speechless, and complained silently in his heart: The traffic conditions in H City are simply cheating, and it is better for us to be in S City.
"Help, help!" During the boring waiting, Fang Bei and Xiaowei heard the voice of someone calling for help at the same time.
The two looked at each other, both of them feeling very shocked. You must know that although it is already after dusk at the moment, the sky is not yet completely dark, and it stands to reason that no gangster should dare to come out and do evil.
"Help...... Save ......" The voice stopped abruptly, and without thinking about it, probably the person who asked for help had already been caught up by the enemy. Don't have time to think about it, and immediately follow the sound to trace the past. At the same time, he did not forget to leave a word in a commanding tone. "Xiaowei, you stand here obediently and wait for me, don't run around!"
After turning two street corners, Fang Bei finally witnessed the crime scene in a narrow alleyway. I saw a group of men with highly uniform clothing styles working together to beat up an unlucky guy. The men were each wearing only a black tank top and tattoos of unknown meaning on their arms. Obviously, nine times out of ten, this group of people is mixed with the underworld.
As for the besieged guy, his body curled up together, trying his best to protect his head, so that Fang Bei couldn't see the other party's appearance for a while. Under the attack of everyone, the man was a little powerless to defend himself, let alone fight back.
At that moment, Fang Bei's sense of justice arose. It doesn't matter who the person being beaten is, whether it has anything to do with him or not. Fang Bei took a few steps forward and shouted: "Stop fighting!
The gangsters heard Fang Bei's shout and subconsciously turned their heads to look at him. Seven or eight pairs of eyes looked straight at each other, all of them with fierce eyes, looking like they were going to eat people. One of the thugs sniffed, lifted his chin, and asked, "Who are you?
"Why is it none of my business? "Fang Beiyi is stern, not afraid at all, and does not flinch.
"Magcoin!, do you think you're a hero?" "If you don't see anything nutritious, you really think you're going to be nosy if you watch too much!"
All the gangsters said a word to me, and they counted down one after another. In fact, Fang Bei has a great physique, but unfortunately he belongs to the type of thin clothes, so at first glance, all the gangsters think that Fang Bei is very easy to bully, and he is a stunned young man who rushes to his own death.
"Why are you beating people?" Fang Bei didn't care about the taunts of those thugs, but calmly asked the reason. He didn't intend to act impulsively until he had thoroughly figured out what was going on. After all, he still had to hurry to the Chinese medicine market in the south of the city, but he didn't have time to entangle with these people.
"Hey, you kid has something interesting. The gangster who took the lead was suddenly interested in the stunned young man in front of him, and answered Fang Bei's questions seriously.
"It doesn't hurt to tell you the truth, this guy owes us a lot, a lot of money. I have been in arrears for several months, and I have been refusing to pay it back, and I am trying to avoid the debt. Then tell me, should we beat him up?" The gangster who took the lead was serious, seemed to be justified, and his morale was very strong.
After listening to the other party's answer, Fang Bei suddenly lost his senses. Since ancient times, it has been a matter of course to repay debts. When encountering an old leper dog, the creditor can't recover the account, so it seems reasonable to send his subordinates to teach him a lesson.
"How much does he owe you?" Fang didn't hesitate for a moment, but finally decided to find out before making a plan.
"Originally, I borrowed 50,000 yuan, but now I am rolling and rolling ...... What's the matter, it's 200,000!" The bastard who took the lead was bold and took another step forward.
Fang Bei shook his head silently, it turned out that the person who was beaten was a guy who didn't know what to do and borrowed from a loan shark. From this point of view, the man was a man of his own accord and could not live, and was not worthy of his help. "Sorry to interrupt!"
