Chapter 64: Accidents Everywhere
My time was tight, I was in a hurry to do something, and even so, I could see the familiar back.
I was not shocked to hear about the belated conscription order on the streets of Xunyang, but it was completely unexpected to meet this person.
Is it true that life is full of accidents?
This person, at this moment, shouldn't he be in the camp in the Northland, and follow the empress every step of the way?
A thought suddenly came to my mind, and I took over the distinguished guest of Tianxiang Building
I looked in the direction of my back and stood there in bewilderment.
If that's the case, I can't say it.
The empress's mind is inevitably too unpredictable, the situation is tense, and she will actually appear in Xunyang, which is thousands of miles away from the camp in the north.
Wait a minute! I must have thought something wrong!
I stood in place, the sun shining on my body brought a little warmth, the fog dispersed in Xunyang City gradually subsided, the crowd, and the small buildings all showed the original appearance of the mountain city, but my eyes seemed to be invisibly blocked from sight, and I couldn't see the article behind this unexpected encounter.
The figure walked in a hurry, so hurried that he didn't even bother to look at me, and it looked like he really had something to do in a hurry.
It was useless to think too much, so I turned around and walked quickly into the door of the shop.
Behind the counter, the shopkeeper of the pharmacy was about 50 years old, wearing a clean blue robe, although his hair was gray, but he was meticulously combed, which made people feel clean and tidy at a glance.
He was looking down through the ledger, and the business of the pharmacy was not so busy in the early morning, so I entered the store and was the only customer for the time being.
The shopkeeper was neatly dressed. The style of the pharmacy is also obvious, the medicine display is also neat, and the wooden cabinets where various medicinal materials are placed are polished, and it looks like a well-organized shop, showing the care that the owner has put into it.
Walk into the shop pΓΉ. Seeing such an interior scene will leave a very good first impression on anyone.
I remembered the person I met at the door, and when the shopkeeper greeted me, I couldn't help but want to ask, but when the words came to my mouth and swallowed, I couldn't find the right words to ask. It makes me embarrassed.
Let's talk about the identity of the man
I sighed silently, asked for a pen and paper, dipped the pen in ink, and wrote down my recipe on the paper.
Maybe it's because I'm too young to outsiders, but I haven't forgotten to talk to the hostess of the tea shop along the way. The conversation of the driver of the car!
As she told me, most of the doctors in Xunyang City are elderly, so it is reasonable for the shopkeeper to show a surprised expression when he sees me writing a prescription by handwriting.
I met his gaze, thought of the words for a moment, and said with a faint smile: "Shopkeeper, this is the recipe left by the old man in my family, and I want to catch a few flavors of medicine." β
I don't want to reveal the details that I'm a doctor myself, extraordinary times. I've always felt like it's better to be cautious.
Before, the experience in Yubei told me that the war horse was raised to death. Not enough will make up the number on the prairie temporarily!
I don't know if there will be no military doctors one day, and I will also make up the number of people who pass by temporarily!
The shopkeeper's expression was relieved, mentioning that there were old people in the family, and it was not surprising to leave some folk earthworks.
Out of professional instinct, he glanced at the piece of paper I had written.
At first glance. He was stunned and said, "Little boy, what symptoms does this recipe you write cure?" β
My eyes froze. The heart said that you asked so frankly, how should I answer? Do I sue you for transfiguration?
I could only smile and say, "The old man in the family left it, and after a long time, I don't know very well, it was my family who asked me to grab the medicine." β
After the shopkeeper asked, he did not delve into it, although the answer was not ideal.
Because he had read the name of the drug above, a new problem arose. "Little boy, I won't tell you, a guest came here just now, and the few flavors of medicine you listed above," the shopkeeper's tone paused, and his hand swiped over the paper with neat handwriting, and pointed it out to me carefully, "This, and this, the above flavors of medicine have all been bought by that guest." β
"I wonder if you met you before you entered the door?" "But you don't have to worry, fortunately, the steward of our pharmacy is already on the way, count the days," the shopkeeper said, "it will be there tomorrow morning." "Would you like to come back tomorrow morning?"
Hearing this, my face changed, and I asked in disbelief: "Shopkeeper, what did you say?" "Did the guest who came just now buy a few flavors of medicine on it?"
I clicked on it, got a definite answer, and was stunned in front of the cabinet.
I didn't notice the details before, I only thought about the identity of that person, but I didn't look carefully at the things she carried, and now when the shopkeeper said it, I think about it again, it is indeed a big burden.
She wants to buy these medicines, what are they used for?
Especially for a certain unpopular medicine I used in the ratio, it is rare in this world that someone will buy so much at once.
I thought about it, and after being confused about her appearance in Xunyang City just now, I fell into a myth again.
Out of desperation, I had to order a few other herbs in a hurry, missing the key parts, and the effect of the disguise was about unsatisfactory, but on the road, even the clumsy disguise was better than the unobstructed view.
If the medicine is not enough, you can make up for it with clothes and accessories!
I barely managed to get what I wanted, and although I was a little disappointed, I carefully wrapped the medicine and tied it into a small bag and carried it on my back.
After paying the shopkeeper's money, before I went out, I suddenly remembered, so I turned back a few steps and asked the shopkeeper if he had seen the guest and what kind of person he was.
Actually, this is just an excuse, just to ask about the conversation between them in the pharmacy just now.
The shopkeeper was very frank, saying that the guest had never seen it, but it seemed that his identity was not ordinary, and after buying all the medicines, he even paid the whole amount of silver, and left in a hurry without looking for any money.
Listening to him, it seems that there is still a convoy waiting for him. "The convoy," I said in shock, "did you say that you were leaving Xunyang City, and you are leaving today?" β
Although the shopkeeper is very patient, it is an exception to answer so much, and when I ask again, he shakes his head to indicate that I don't know.
I walked slowly out of the store.
Look at the sun in the sky, at this time, Ji Jiu has just finished buying the dry food he needs on the road, and after getting my instructions, he should be on the way to the tea shop now.
I followed the direction of the alley, and after a while, I couldn't help but get faster and faster, and finally trotted up.
When I arrived at the door of the alley, I saw the tea shop, but I didn't stop, there was an indescribable feeling, which attracted me to continue running in the direction ahead!
Downstairs in Tianxiang, I didn't see the waiting customers at the door, but I saw the guys in the store coming in and out.
Move chairs, move chairs, lift tables, lift tables!
I walked in and grabbed a guy from the shop and asked.
He glanced at me and said with a smile: "You can come back to eat in the evening, the store needs to be tidied up, don't you see the sign erected at the door?" β
I didn't have time to look at the erected signs!
I spoke with some urgency, because when I came, I saw on the stone bridge that all the veils on the second floor of the restaurant that blocked the view were gone.
After listening to my question, the young man pulled me by the hand and whispered, "This thing is a bit strange, and the shopkeeper won't let me say more." β
The young man weighed the silver in his hand and said a few words to me under the tree outside the shop.
"You're right, the guests who chartered the entire floor upstairs just left, and they should have left the city gate by now."
"When I saw them coming, the carriages were all one of the best horses in Sealand, and they must have traveled quickly."
"Do you want to see the true face of that distinguished guest?" The young man suddenly glanced at me with some amusement, and said in a low voice, "The people in the shop are all talking, and the shopkeeper has changed into the clothes of the running hall and used the stall to take advantage of the food delivery stall to explore." β
"Result," the young man bought, and I asked anxiously, "What is the result?"
"I was so scared by the knife-armed guards that I almost peed my pants!"
"I didn't see the true face of that distinguished guest."
"Didn't you mean, a group of people?" I hesitated and asked, "I heard there is a team of people?" β
"There is only one distinguished guest, and no one has been able to see him."
My heart was shocked, and the hand hanging down at my side couldn't help but clench my fists, and then I heard the young man say with regret, "The one who accompanied him is said to be an official of the national capital, and several people in the store have seen him." β
"It's very good, it's just a sight"
I couldn't hear a few more words
Walking back along the old street, halfway through, I saw Ji Jiu walking towards me.
He stopped me under the stone bridge and said, "I was talking to the lady of the tea shop in the shop just now, and I was chatting, I haven't bought tea yet, and she said that I saw you running through the door, and I still don't believe it."
"Why are you here at this time?" Ji Jiu asked casually, "Xiaolin, you go to the store with me to have a look, there are many types of tea in her house, since I took it with me to drink on the road, I picked a bag of what I liked, you can also take a look." β
"Whatever," I said absentmindedly, bowing my head sullenly, "you can just watch it." β
"Kobayashi!" Ji Jiu raised his voice, his eyes fixed on my face, and reminded him, "Externally, you are my younger brother, if you don't want the hostess to be suspicious, it is more appropriate to go with me." β
I replied with a heavy heart: "Okay." β
After checking out of the inn, Ji Jiu and I had almost no luggage when we came to Xunyang, except for a little dry food and silver he got from selling horses.
Now that I want to go on the road again, I have two more burdens on my body.
The dry food and the rest of the silver were all in Ji Jiu's, he paid for the inn, counted them and said, "Do you need to go to the north of the city and ask, is it enough to hire a car to the next stop?" β
"If it's not enough, you have to follow the old method, but fortunately, Xunyang is not far from the country." (To be continued).
