2-239 A medicine is hard to come by(14)
Zhou Yi was still yawning and bored, but the more he listened, the more he realized that something was wrong: "Did you say that you were seriously ill for any reason?"
Amu shook his head: "The man only said that the old mother ate the fruits and rotten food from the mountains before she was sick, and she may have been poisoned. ”
"Poison, is it......" Zhou Yi thought for a while, and finally thought about it, reported the names of several medicines, prescribed two prescriptions, and even instructed him with the decoction matters, Amu had a smile in his eyes, and secretly wrote down and checked them one by one, and asked again if there was anything else to pay attention to.
"Both prescriptions can be taken, the one with valuable herbs is more effective, and the other one is cheaper, so let's see what medicine he can find." The decoction is decoctioned and left cold for one day before taking it. ”
"But what's forbidden?"
"Don't take those quacks prescribed blood clotting, hematemesis, toxins have to be slowly removed by medicine. ”
After explaining, an imperceptible smile appeared on the corner of Amu's mouth, and after thanking Zhou Yi, he hurriedly went downstairs to inform the person waiting downstairs.
Zhou Yi looked at his back as he went downstairs, and sighed with his cheeks: "It's not such a cold child." ”
"Before Amu arrived in Xilin, he was adopted by an old farmer in the north, and it just so happened that the person who came was also from a poor family, so he was somewhat emotional. Hua Jinnan said lightly, looked at Zhou Yi and raised his eyebrows and said, "I don't understand, I know that although it is not a rare medicine, it is not something that ordinary people can afford." ”
"You've found out. Zhou Yi spread his hands and smiled facelessly, without a thief's heart on his face.
Hua Jinnan frowned, not understanding what the hell he was doing.
"If he is really poor, he must have picked the medicine that is cheap, because he can only afford this at present. That's fine. If he had used a different formula, it would have been a big deal. ”
"As far as you have a bad temperament, don't cause me any trouble, be careful that I sweep you out. ”
"Don't, don't, I'm just curious about who sent it, and who is about to be poisoned. Zhou Yi smiled and opened a thick curtain, and from the finger-wide gap, he could see from a distance that the young Amu handed over the prescription in his hand to a shabby farmer with an earthy face at the entrance of the alley. The old man immediately burst into tears and thanked Amu again and again. Amu stopped him, explained a few more words, took out a bag of things from his arms and handed them to the other party, and the peasant man thanked him again and again.
"There are tens of millions of poisons, and there are not many people who can torture people with such a thin stream of water. Zhou Yi's eyesight has always been very good, guessing that the package Amu gave the other party might contain some food, maybe some silver, and couldn't help but hook the corners of his mouth, and mocked, "What a stupid child." ”
"It's as if you're smart. Hua Jinnan reclined on the chaise longue, hugging the small pot in his arms and taunting him.
Zhou Yi's eyebrows jumped, ignoring him, just fixing his gaze on the farmer. The old farmer sent Amu back to the restaurant with an eager gaze, holding the prescription and a package in his hand, and turned around and drilled deeper into the alley.
He waited for a while, and was about to let go of the curtain, but saw another figure of a probe probing his brain appear at the entrance of the alley. The old man walked out of the alley again, still in the same clothes, but the prescription and package in his hand were missing, and he was bare-handed, but his waist was bulging. The cautious and humble look on his face that was customary to poor people was gone, but with a kind of flushed excitement and hideousness. The old man walked quickly to the stall selling old wine in front of the alley, commanded the boss to make a large glass of wine with arrogance, and argued with the honest stall owner for a while because of the pound and two pounds on the table, and finally left with the wine satisfied. He drank and hummed a tune, walked two or three hundred steps forward, and suddenly his eyes lit up and stopped, turned to the side, and got into the door of the largest gambling house on the street.
"Oh, that's interesting. ”
Zhou Yi flicked the index finger on his face twice, yawned and didn't bother to care, after all, who took the medicine next and what happened, it had nothing to do with him.
The casino was noisy, and the old man in tattered clothes danced quickly with his clenched fists, not knowing whether he would make a lot of money or lose everything.
I don't know if it's because of today's good luck, or the confidence in his arms, his eyes are becoming more and more fierce, his face is becoming more and more hideous, his cheeks are crimson and more excited, and from time to time he takes out ten or two hundred taels from the money bag in his arms and then makes a bet
Just a while, there was a small pile of chips in front of him, and the old man was trembling with excitement, and he was also angry and white, and he was cursing with others with foaming at the mouth. The rough, calloused hand was missing a few fingers, but it didn't prevent him from slapping the table hard and scolding the people of the main village.
"Dare to say that Lao Tzu is out of the old man, blind your dog's eyes! Look down on people, is Lao Tzu a person who is short of money?!" The old man scolded more and more, pointing at the other party's nose and cursing, the right finger with only three fingers pointed with extraordinary momentum, until it was instantly broken by a stick that swung down next to him, revealing bloody bone stubble.
A shocking scream followed, and the people at the table quickly spread out in a circle, but they were reluctant to leave and kept a good distance to watch. The old man who fell to the ground clutched his discounted right arm, and looked terrified because of the pain: "Murder!
"Call you a ghost!" The man swung his fist, one punch knocked the old man's cheeks crooked, and the second punch directly knocked him out of his teeth, and the old man fainted in front of his eyes.
The people around whispered, and watched with horror and sympathy as the old man was turned over by the strong man, groping around as if looking for something.
"Don't be afraid, you guests, just got the news that this old bastard dared to steal the things of our gambling house owner. That's not all, but dare to cheat on the owner's casino. "The shopkeeper in charge of the casino had a kind face and came out to play a round.
The strong man who searched his body waved his hand, untied the money bag on the old man's body, dumped it all, and took out several silver ingots from it and presented them to the shopkeeper. The shopkeeper lowered his eyes twice, and then raised his hand to show the silver ingot in his hand to everyone and explained: "The logo of the triangular silver leaf." ”
"I ...... I'll you, I didn't steal ......" The old man with a mouth full of blood didn't finish vaguely, and fainted again.
When everyone saw that the silver ingot was really engraved with the unique mark of the casino, they couldn't help but believe it, and secretly cursed in their hearts that this person was too bold to steal from the black-and-white casino owner.
The kind-looking shopkeeper ordered the strong man to drag the man down to the back hall, and politely said that he would disturb you today, and the drinks were free, which caused the atmosphere of the casino to rise again and again, and everyone gathered around a small table, shouting and raising his hand to gamble, and no one cared about the life or death of the old man who was dragged away.
"So, is Childe satisfied?" asked the casino shopkeeper politely with a smile on the second floor.
"Is that done?" asked.
"This person knows the old body, gambling like life, sold his daughter-in-law and daughter-in-law for gambling money, used to be in the next county under the gambling house to make Lao Qian was smashed two fingers, and now it is even more bold, presumably if this time if the hand and foot are broken and there is no tongue, no one will be suspicious. ”
"Good choice. Wen Lixin, who was drinking warm wine, had a ruthlessness on his face, pressed the two prescriptions on the table, raised his eyes and smiled gloomily, "I'm tired of the shopkeeper's treatment." ”
