Hearing this, Dr. Xu's face turned pale with fright, and he said, "Could it be that the little brother is taking the medicinal herbs that the companion wanted?" As he spoke, he looked at the masked man standing in the street.

Zou Jingchen saw Dr. Xu's face change suddenly, and then saw his legs shaking, although his words were coherent, his voice had become empty. Zou Jingchen saw the clue and said, "What? Is there a problem with the companion's medicine? ”

Dr. Xu hesitated: "No, no problem......

Zou Jingchen said: "Then why did you think about it for a long time? As he spoke, he approached the chair, limped over, and sat down in the chair. It turned out that Zou Jingchen was a little tired after standing for a long time because of a foot injury.

Doctor Xu looked frightened and thought: "These two people look very strange, one is masked and only shows his eyes, and the other is a cripple, and there is no expression on the face of the cripple, it seems that the two must be the ones who lick the knife, it is better not to provoke." "I walked over to the medicine shelf, bent down, took out a bag of medicine, and put it on the table. Then he took the prescription and fiddled with the abacus, calculated the price, and stretched out five fingers. said: "A few days ago, realgar was sold out, except for the number of realgar. ”

Zou Jingchen was shocked: "What? Gone? If this is gone, how can we have all the medicinal materials in this painting? ”

Doctor Xu said: "You can go to other houses to have a look, specifically find some realgar, and then put them in these medicinal materials." Zou Jingchen couldn't make up his mind for a while, and walked towards the masked man outside the door.

The two exchanged ears on the street, grinding their ears and temples. Zou Jingchen walked up to Dr. Xu and said, "When is the fastest time that our store can go to take realgar?" ”

Dr. Xu said: "It's been strange lately! On weekdays, realgar is rarely sold, and if the quantity is large, only more people will buy it during the Dragon Boat Festival, and this realgar is really not easy to find recently. I guess I'll have to wait until my guy's back injury heals before I can get in touch. ”

Zou Jingchen took out the gold from the lucky bag and threw it over, saying: "This is broken gold, you can leave the rest for your buddy to heal, and I will take the realgar in a few days." ”

With that, he walked out of the pharmacy.

Dr. Xu looked at the gold in his hand and couldn't help but sigh: "It's fate, it's fate." ”

The guy folded his trouser pockets and tied them, his face was smooth, and he walked through the back door and said, "Master, my stomach is tight." It's almost an hour since I was careful. Why is the second son of the Zou family here? What's the matter with him? ”

"The second son of the Zou family?" Doctor Xu looked at the door of his buddy Niu Er, and he must have thought that the man just now was the second son of the Zou family, and he rushed forward and shouted: "He is not the second son of the Zou family, but like a person with facial paralysis, his face is more handsome than the second son of the Zou family, but he is also a cripple." Do you remember the masked man the other day? ”

When the man Niu Er heard this, his face trembled like ashes and said, "He...... What happened to him? ”

Dr. Xu opened his palm to reveal the broken gold. Niu Er saw the golden gold in his hand, and his eyes suddenly revealed greed.

Doctor Xu said: "This broken gold is what they left, I originally refused to take realgar on the grounds that you have a back injury, but I didn't expect them to leave this broken gold to ask you for treatment." ”

The man Niu Er said: "Are these people all the God of Wealth grandfather?" Wave your hand and throw gold. As he spoke, he took the gold with his hand.

With a "snap", Dr. Xu's other hand slapped Niu Er's hand and said, "There is still money for medicinal materials here!" ”

Niu Er rubbed his hands and said, "Master, I just want to see if they are true or false?" lest we fall for them. ”

Dr. Xu said, "I'll take a look." He took the gold and put it to his lips, bit it with his teeth, and it was a nest.

Niu Er saw that it was true, and said excitedly: "Master, we have earned, we have earned." ”

Doctor Xu said: "There is no free lunch in the world, Niu Er, you have to remember what the teacher said, people die for money, and birds die for food." ”

Niu Er was still young, how could he understand the meaning of the master's words, he just wrote it down, nodded and said, "This is simple, I remember it, master." Then he asked, "Master, where did you say they were going to use this medicinal herb?" This recipe is used to prevent the corpse from decomposing, can they use so much? It was also sent at night to be strange and infiltrating. ”

Doctor Xu said: "This master doesn't know, let's be careful and subtle, it's better not to provoke them." ”

As Niu Er said, the lame boy was Zou Jingchen, and the reason why Dr. Xu didn't recognize it was that on that day, Zou Jingchen was wearing a human skin mask, which was exquisitely made, and even the milk hair on the sweat pores on his face was extremely realistic. It is difficult for ordinary people to see that this is a mask, only those who have worn a human skin mask know the reason, it turns out that as long as anyone is wearing a human skin mask, that person must be a "zombie face", and "zombie face" will not make other expressions.

And the mask worn by Zou Jingchen is the handsome young man on the rice paper painting that Zou Yichen found on his desk.

Zou Jingchen limped out of the pharmacy with a human skin mask, still carrying a large bag of medicinal herbs in his hand. Seeing this, the masked man hurriedly stepped forward to take the medicinal herbs, put the medicinal herbs on his shoulders with a "bump", and quickly disappeared into the crowded market. By the time Zou Jingchen reacted, the masked man had already disappeared.

Zou Jingchen saw that the masked man did not come back, and walked slowly and quickly through several alleys, seeing that no one was following, and then came to the depths of the bamboo forest. In the depths of the bamboo forest, there is a thousand-year-old golden silk nanmu tree, the tree is big and stout, and it takes eight big men to open their arms, and the tips of their hands can barely hold it.

He looked around, but didn't see anyone else, so he took out a folded lotus-blue Shu brocade pouch from his lucky bag, gently tore off the human skin mask, and put the human skin mask into the Shu brocade pouch. He went around the front of the golden silk nanmu and turned to the back. I saw that there was a slender gap in the high part of the trunk on the back, more than two inches wide, and the size was not deep or shallow enough to accommodate the human skin mask. Zou Jingchen picked up a large stone nearby and placed it diagonally next to the trunk of the tree, and stood up on it by himself, tiptoeing to pin the lotus-blue Shu brocade pouch into the trunk. The color of the lotus blue pouch is similar to the color of the moss on the trunk, and if you don't look closely, you won't be able to see the difference. After Zou Jingchen put it away for inspection, he moved away from the stone before leaving satisfied.

Zou Yichen naturally didn't know, in fact, his brother Zou Jingchen didn't know that she knew how to heal. It was only when he suddenly gave his sister Zou Yichen such a light tap and pressure on his wrist that he suddenly remembered that he learned that there was a problem with the prescription that Zhining took in the pharmacy. I didn't have time to think about which master prescribed the prescription, so I casually came out in a hurry, in order to comfort my sister. Thinking of seeing her father chatting with her about acupuncture points just now, Zou Jingchen couldn't help but feel that her sister was a little different, so there was also a hint of temptation for her sister.
