Chapter 268: A Perfect Fairy Tale and Cruel Reality

Xia Xiao's legs and feet were still a little unfavorable, but he could barely walk. He wasn't familiar with the coastal city, but after the barbecue on the first day, he memorized all the roads he had walked, and he knew the shops and the intersections of the streets, as well as the pharmacies.

This pharmacy is only a few hundred meters away from the inn, and it is also the only place where Xia Xiao can come. You can't go far, otherwise your breath will be exposed, and you'll be in trouble!

The pharmacy was idle, which made Xia Xiao stop, is this not a medical virtue? Or are the people in this city too healthy, since there is no one? Although he hesitated, Xia Xiao still walked in, and the faΓ§ade of this medicine hall is not small. The old man grinding the powder in the shop reminded him of the old doctor in Rongcheng. At that time, he and Shu Shuang lived upstairs in the pharmacy door, and they also grabbed some medicines, but this time it was for Ah Candle.

When Xia Xiao is not in a good state, it is easier to think of her, but it is useless to know that no matter how much you think about it. The distance between them is not as simple as flying into the sky and inserting your hand into the white clouds.

The old doctor had a pair of wise eyes, and when he saw Xia Xiao coming, he asked him if he was taking medicine or solving doubts.

"Master, this is still responsible for solving puzzles?"

"The heart, like the body, will get sick, the latter depends on medicine, and the former depends on reason. As a Langzhong, I naturally know a little bit. ”

Xia Xiao shrugged his shoulders, it seems that this is the reason why no one came to this shop, a Lang Zhong, who would dare to come? When he was about to leave, Lao Lang Zhong said:

"Young people, either trapped by love, or young and sad for inaction. You're both, why don't you sit down and talk?"

"What do you have to talk to?"

Xia Xiao scoffed and walked out of the store.

"Let's talk about the Dragon Palace, after all, you were also injured. ”

This sentence floated faintly behind Xia Xiao, causing him to turn around and walk back.

"How do you tell?"

The old man was triumphant and motioned for Xia Xiao to sit, but he just didn't sit.

"Your legs and feet are inconvenient, your hands are stiff, your eyes are red and swollen and dark blue, and your lips and face are all white, and you look like the poison of the Dragon Palace. ”

It seems that he is still a practitioner, Xia Xiao asked:

"Is there any medicine?"

"Yes, but expensive. ”

Xia Xiao has the strength of money, he feels that money is not important, so he said that he will have two pairs first, and then he will eat it. After Lao Langzhong finished grabbing the medicine, Xia Xiao held it in his hand, and his eyes gradually became vicious.

"If it works, I'm sure I'll come and thank you. But if it doesn't work, and if you miss the best time, I will definitely let you, the fake man, die in the bushes. ”

"Don't be so angry, don't look at me, I have no one, but a few days ago I was also the largest supplier of antidote to the Dragon Palace. ”

"That's why the quality of your medicine is not good?"

"Naturally not!"

"If you have good medicine, how can the store be so quiet?"

"This young master, are you sleeping with your head bored these days?"

Not to mention, Xia Xiao is really sleeping. And if it comes to other things, the old man can bear it, whether he is a liar, whether he is disrespectful to the old, or a thief who scolds people for being old and not dying. But it can't be said that there is a problem with his medicine, this is his bottom line and dignity as a doctor!

"My medicine can only pull people out of the temple of death, but if the god of death goes out and steps forward with a scythe, I can't do anything. Young master, it's really lucky that you can live until now. ”

"All the poisoned people are dead?"

"You don't know?"

Xia Xiao shook his head, and the anger in the old man subsided slightly.

"Then I'll tell you about it when you're really asleep. Many of the cultivators who returned from the Dragon Palace that day were sick, they were chills, they just wanted to sleep, many of them didn't wake up at all, and many of them drank medicine after waking up, thinking that they would get better, but they fell asleep again, and as a result, they lost their lives in their sleep. ”

"Why?"

"The Dragon Palace has been sunk under the sea for thousands of years, and I don't know what virus is derived from it, and if they break in, they will naturally get sick. My medicine is definitely right, it has the effect of inhibiting the virus, but it can only be used as an adjunct. But everyone didn't believe it, thinking that I killed them, but in fact, those cultivators were too weak to resist the virus, and they took the medicine too late, and they blamed me!"

The old man was about to scold his mother, but fortunately there were a few old doctors to help him speak, otherwise the store would not be guaranteed.

"Truth be told, I have another companion who is worse than me and needs medicine. ”

"Three decoctions a day, oral administration, take them all back. ”

The old man took out a sack, which was full of medicine wrapped in brown paper.

"So much?"

"Anyway, no one wants it, so I'll give it to you for free, see if you believe in my medical skills. ”

Xia Xiao said thank you and was not polite. Although Lao Langzhong is distressed, what he can't sell is garbage, and it's better to give it to those who need it. He is a doctor and a human being, although he does not have the ambition and pride of spreading the world and sacrificing himself for others, but he can still do this.

"If you're still alive after taking the medicine, come to me. ”

Xia Xiao glanced at Lao Langzhong and nodded deeply. He may want to prove himself, as long as the product he makes is right, the lost money and medicinal materials can be ignored.

Seeing Xia Xiao lifting the sack and going out, although Lao Langzhong felt a pain in his heart, he had expectations again.

In the streets and alleys, whether it was officials or civilians in carriages, they all discussed the affairs of the Dragon Palace. After going to 10,000 people, only half of them came back, and the loss of cultivators made the already bad national situation in the southern country even worse. But human greed can't be stopped after all, including Xia Xiao and Ah Candle!

Xia Xiao broke into a place where he shouldn't go, so he was poisoned. I think the sea water behind that door is different from the normal color of the seawater, and I don't know how dirty it is.

If it's a beautiful fairy tale, I'm afraid I have to say that. Some people with dreams are full of ambition to break into the legendary Dragon Palace, obtain a spiritual weapon that has been passed down for a long time, or comprehend some kind of true inheritance, so that they are invincible in the world and protect justice and one side. Maybe there is also the princess who has been kidnapped by the wicked, waiting for the princess to be rescued. But the reality is always cruel, no matter what the purpose, the army of cultivators in the southern country has suffered heavy losses!

Fairy tales are perfect to make people look forward to the future. And the reality is cruel, I think it is a warning, don't confuse expectations with real reality.

Xia Xiao's eyes were glazed and worried. His condition is not bad, he knows his state, but Ah Candle will be fine, right? She is not strong, but if she dies here, it will be too much of a loss.

Hurriedly walked into the room, Ah Candle was still asleep, Xia Xiao's fingers touched the tip of her nose, and after feeling the faint breathing, she decocted the medicine. He decided to trust the doctor and try the medicine first.

In the basket of the bathroom, Pu Dao was dizzy from the moldy clothes, and the fragrance of the toilet made it even more dull. Xia Xiao saw it, held it, and felt its extreme rejection and curse. But there is no way, the bathroom is the most hidden, who will have nothing to open and smell it?

"Drink the medicine. ”

Xia Xiao poured a bowl with a grunt, thinking that since this medicine has the effect of inhibiting the virus, what kind of inhibition method should it be? He was a little curious, but the medicinal materials used were not natural treasures. At this time, after drinking a bowl, he didn't feel anything, just a slight heat in his stomach, but he felt that this was a normal phenomenon.

The medicine gradually cooled, and Xia Xiao was going to feed Ah Candle first. Even if it doesn't work much, there will be no major damage. Although he didn't know medical skills, he could pick up some relevant knowledge from Shu Shuang, and the things in this medicine were just right for repelling the cold and recuperating the body. But how do I give Ah Candle medicine? She can't even drink water.
