Yan Ling secretly regretted it, and had nothing to answer for a while, so she was stupid there.

Seeing that Yan Ling's dignified face suddenly turned pale, Wen Ji asked with concern, "Sister Yan Ling, what's wrong with you?"

"Oh, I...... I...... I'm fine. Yan Ling came back to her senses and looked timid.

After a moment's silence, she suddenly became wise and said: "Brother Dingzhi, there are no inns or pharmacies in the vicinity of seventy or eighty miles, according to my opinion, Brother Dingzhi is sitting here temporarily, I will go to grab the medicine, and I will come back in a while." ”

"Oh...... I see...... It's okay, then it's hard Sister Yan Ling. ”

"Brother Dingzhi, you rest for a while, I'll go first. In order to avoid Wenji's worry, Yan Ling told a white lie.

But this ghost in his heart is naturally very uneasy, for example, being a thief seems to be afraid of being discovered, and before Wenji can say the prescription, Yan Ling has already walked out of the land temple in a panic.

Xiaohua sat under the stone gate at the entrance of the market town, holding the package tightly in his arms, and looked at the road to the east with his eyes open.

The morning market had dispersed, and the pedestrians were gradually becoming scarce, and a little black dog wagged its tail, lowered its head, walked with steps, foraged for food, and was walking unhurriedly towards the stone gate, becoming more and more small and lonely and pitiful.

Just when she was anxious, she suddenly heard a shout: "Xiaohua! sister is back." ”

In the scorching sun, a red shadow flew down, and it was Yan Ling, who was full of fragrant sweat.

"Sister Yan Ling!" Xiao Hua screamed sweetly in surprise, pursed his lips, and said with teary eyes, "I thought you wouldn't come back." ”

"Ahem, why didn't my sister come back, aren't we Xiaohua still here?" Yan Ling hugged Xiaohua in her arms and wiped away her tears.

"Sister Yan Ling, have you found that brother?"

"Found it...... I found," Yan Ling said hurriedly, "Xiaohua, how much silver do we have in our money bag?"

"There was no silver left, but twenty-seven copper plates. ”

"There are only twenty-seven copper plates, show them to my sister!" Yan Ling didn't want to believe it, reached out and grabbed the money bag, the monkey hurriedly ripped open the bag rope, and pulled the copper plate in a hurry, and after pulling it for a long time, he said with a disappointed face, "There used to be so much silver, why is there no one now?"

"Besides, it's not all for you to spend. ”

"I, eh......" Yan Ling sat on the ground dejectedly, like a deflated ball, leaving only a daze.

"Sister Yan Ling, what's wrong with you?"

"I? I...... Woo...... Woo ......" At this time, Yan Ling regretted it very much, choked up and couldn't speak, and suddenly began to cry.

"Sister Yan Ling, why are you crying? I won't cry. Xiaohua wiped Yan Ling's tears and said, "Sister Yan Ling doesn't cry, the sky is falling and there is still a mountain top, you don't need to beg for food in the future, I will beg for you to eat." ”

"It's not begging, it's that Dingzhi's brother is sick and wants to sell medicine with silver, I'm ...... I'm ...... Where am I going to get the money? Brother Dingzhi is still waiting for me to buy medicine with the money, I really ...... Woo...... Woo woo woo ......" Yan Ling lowered her head and kept slamming her knees, full of remorse.

"Sister Yan Ling doesn't cry or cry...... Don't we have twenty-seven copper plates here? Let's grab the medicine first. ”

"Huh, too! There are still twenty-seven copper plates!" Yan Ling suddenly burst into tears of joy, and his whole body came to his senses, wiped a handful of tears, grabbed the money bag, dragged Xiaohua, and hurriedly began to look for the medicine store.

The two of them searched along the market town, looking here and there, and finally found a Zhen pharmacy on the east side of the market.

The pharmacy stands facing the north street, a large door, two pages of wooden windows, three or five meters of "one" word cabinets, and a row of medicine cabinets behind the counter, purple and black, spotless.

Yan Ling was overjoyed, stepped into the pharmacy in three or two steps, walked straight to the counter, knocked on the counter and shouted: "Old man, buy medicine!"

"Oh, this girl, what kind of medicine are you going to buy?" The owner of the pharmacy, who was about fifty years old, was checking the medicinal materials in front of the medicine cabinet, and when he heard the shouting, he quickly turned around and received him warmly.

"Blood-tonifying medicine!"

"Show the prescription to the old man. ”

"Prescription?" Yan Ling first entered the world, although he didn't know what prescription to carry to buy medicine, so he grinned: "No!"

"Well, girl, you didn't bring a prescription, so what kind of medicine do you want to buy? There are many medicines that replenish blood and qi: astragalus, angelica, ejiao, white peony, jujube, rehmannia root, chicken blood vine, purple river car, Polygonum multiflori, wolfberry, ginseng black chicken longan meat, etc., etc., etc....... What kind of medicines are you going to buy?" The pharmacy owner crossed his fingers and solemnly reported the names of more than a dozen medicinal herbs, and then asked curiously.

Yan Ling was impatient when he heard it, so he replied loudly: "All of them!"

The old man hasn't asked you yet: Is this patient a man a man or a woman?"

"you, as long as you can use the medicine!"

"Look at you, this girl is also stupid, but fortunately, you said that you are a man who wants to replenish your blood, so the old man will take it upon himself to give you two pairs of medicines first. ”

The owner of the pharmacy said, he shook his head helplessly, and went to the medicine cabinet to grab the medicine, grab a handful here, weigh it, grab a handful there, weigh it, and after a while, two pairs of medicines were prepared, wrapped tightly, and wrote the method of taking it, and pushed it to the counter.

Yan Ling picked up the medicine bag and said happily: "Old man, how much is it?"

"One or two pieces of silver. ”

"One or two taels of silver, why is it so expensive?" Yan Ling's jaw dropped in shock, and he completely forgot that he had spent money in the first place.

"Not expensive, not expensive...... It's not expensive at all. The owner of the pharmacy said slowly, "The old man still prepares you according to the general prescription, and some prescriptions cost three or four taels of silver." ”

"Old man: I don't have so much silver, I only have twenty-seven copper plates here, do you think it's okay?" Yan Ling put the money bag on the counter.

"What?" the pharmacy owner jumped in shock, "These copper plates want to buy the old man's medicine, you want to rob them?"

"I ...... I...... I really don't have any money. Yan Ling said with a sad face.

"What kind of medicine are you going to grab if you don't have any money? Seeing that your girl is dressed decently enough, how can you say that you don't have money?"

"Old man: I really don't have any money, or - I'll change this package with you, right?" Yan Ling unloaded the package on her shoulder and put it on the counter, and the package was full of her and Xiaohua's changing clothes and dresses.

"Cut! What does the old man want your girl's package to do, is it possible that the old man is still wearing your fancy skirt?" said the pharmacy owner with a cold glance.

"Please, old man, your old man wants this package, maybe the flower skirt inside can be worn by your daughter, my brother Dingzhi is really sick, your old man can do it." Yan Ling pushed the package to the owner of the pharmacy and asked for a change of medicine.

The owner of the pharmacy had never encountered such a strange thing, so he was so anxious that he blew his beard and glared, pushed the package out with one hand, and took the medicine bag back with the other, and kept saying: "No, no, no, no......"

"Old man, you can do it, you can do it, okay......" Yan Ling was dizzy, and while pleading, he kept pleading while holding the medicine bag with both **.

"yes, yes, yes...... You girl, you really want to ...... Do you really want to rob it?" The owner of the pharmacy wanted to take back the medicine bag, but he was afraid of spilling the medicinal materials, so although he snatched it, he didn't dare to use it very hard, seeing that the medicine bag was snatched in his hand by Yan Ling little by little, he was so anxious that sweat beads appeared on his forehead, and Ye Ye screamed.

When the two were fighting for the land, Xiao Hua suddenly grabbed the front trouser corner of the pharmacy owner with both hands, knelt on the ground with a "poof", and said with teary eyes: "Grandpa, my brother is about to die, please, do well, save him." ”

"Yay, you kid, this ...... What are you doing here? Hurry up, get up quickly......" The pharmacy owner suddenly panicked.

"Grandpa: My brother is really going to die, please, do well, save him. Yan Ling was clever and well-behaved, and he also knelt on the ground with a "poof", grabbed the corner of the pharmacy owner's pants, tears dripping from the corners of his eyes, and pleaded.

"Old man...... Old man...... Old man, I'm going to see the hell in the middle of the day!" The pharmacy owner panicked, "You two are ...... Hurry up, if others see it, you will still be an old man bullying your two little girls. ”

The two of them didn't hear it, and each grabbed the corner of the pharmacy owner's trousers tightly, and cried, looking very sad.

The owner of this pharmacy was originally a kind-hearted old doctor, but after the two of them cried and made trouble, their hearts softened, and the old tears were uproaring.

"Alright, alright...... I will accept you twenty-seven copper plates, and the old man has made merit to the Bodhisattva King of Jizo, let's go, let's go, go quickly......" The owner of the pharmacy wiped his tears with one hand and waved with the other hand to drive the two away.

"Thank you, old man. Xiaohua thanked.

"Thank you, old man. Yan Ling also thanked him.

The two broke into tears and laughed, got up happily, bowed a few more times, grabbed the package, picked up the medicine bag, and rushed out of the pharmacy.

"Xiaohua, you really have a way!"

"Hey, my mother said: there is gold under the man's knees, so I thought of it, and sure enough, it is spiritual!"

"Aren't you a girl?"

"My mother has always raised me like a boy. ”

"But you're still a girl. ”

"It's like a boy. ”

"Does the boy have gold under his knees, and the girls have gold under their knees?"

"My mother didn't say it, but I thought: there is. Otherwise, why did the old man give us medicine as soon as we knelt?"

"Well, that makes sense! Xiaohua is really capable! Go back, my sister will treat you to a big meal. ”

"Where are you going?"

"If I don't tell you, you'll know when the time comes. ”

Yan Ling was in a good mood, picked up Xiaohua, and rushed all the way back to the road.
