Chapter 22 Xu Banxian

In order to make Xiaohuzi believe, Ling'er performed a so-called "fighting cattle across the mountain" on the spot, in fact, she pulled Xiaohuzi's arm and smashed it into a small tree with a thick port next to her. The result can be imagined, the tree snapped and broke after a few clicks, because this time the little tiger himself did not exert much strength, although the fist was a little red and swollen, but the skin was not broken.

Xiaohuzi looked at his fist in disbelief, and even smashed a few trees next to him with similar strength, but unfortunately the trunk only shook lightly and did not react! Xiaohuzi turned around and looked at Ling'er with a look of adoration: "Ling'er, it's true!" You're amazing! ”

"Hehe, of course, when did I lie to you? But little tiger, you have to remember, you must not tell others, whether it is your father, uncle, or friends in the village, you can't say anything, remember that you swore an oath! ”

Xiaohuzi nodded like pounding garlic, "Okay, Ling'er, in the future... Call me if you have anything in the future, and I will listen to you in the future! ”

Ling'er snickered in her heart, what she wanted was this result, she smashed Xiaohuzi's chest like a buddy, and said arrogantly: "Okay, that's it, I'll call you Brother Xiaohu in front of people, you have to listen to me after people, we will be a group in the future!" ”

"A bunch of ...... Oh, yes! ”

Ling'er packed up her things and walked out of the bushes: "Little Huzi, I'm going to the town to help my father buy medicine, you go back!" ”

Xiaohuzi thought about it, chased after him and said, "Ling'er, I'm fine today, will I go with you?" ”

Ling'er turned around: "Okay?" Didn't your mother let you join me? Aren't you afraid that your mother will beat you? ”

"No, you just gave me so much money, it's too late to take it back to my mother's happiness!"

"Alright then, I don't know the road yet, so you can help me be a guide!"

The two of them walked along a country road that was not wide or narrow, similar to a rural road, and Xiaohuzi kept introducing Ling'er along the way, for example, this is the courtyard of the Zhang family, which has more than 30 households, my aunt lives here, and there are many plum trees on the mountain behind the yard, and we secretly go to try it every year; This is Liujia Village, and there is a one called Chunhua in the village, which is beautiful......

It took the two of them nearly two quarters of an hour to get to the town, and if they didn't go to the market today, the crowded market they had seen before was now empty, and there were a few stalls at the other end of the town.

Ling'er glanced at it a few times, didn't care, and when she was about to enter the town, she suddenly remembered something, stopped and went back, and went straight to a small stall on the outermost edge, and Xiaohuzi caught up: "Ling'er, what are you doing?" ”

Ling'er squatted down, this look at that touch, the stall was guarded by an old man with a dry tobacco pouch, a wrinkled face, and an age similar to his father's mother, he leaned on the chair with half-squinted eyes to bask in the sun, and he didn't mean to greet guests at all!

Ling'er picked up a grass and sniffed it: "Hey, isn't this a pig's ear?" Can this also be sold for money? ”

The old man glanced at it and ignored it! Ling'er was naturally unhappy, holding the grass and repeating it loudly, but people still ignored it, Ling'er repeated it in a loud voice, and the old man spat out the smoke ring, turned around and said impatiently: "Little girl, what are you yelling about?" The old man is not deaf! ”

"You still don't answer when you hear it, what kind of business are you?"

"Huh~~" The old man glanced at Ling'er with disdain, "Do you know what I'm doing here?" ”

"Don't you just sell grass? Why don't you set up a stall? ”

"Hey, it's not a herb, it's a medicine!"

Ling'er pursed her lips, "This pig's ear is everywhere by the river, how many do you want, what kind of medicine is it?" You're fooling people, aren't you? ”

"Hey, don't talk nonsense, little girl is not sensible, pig ears are also known as Houttuynia cordata, with a pungent taste, lukewarm, and a little poisonous; It can dissipate heat and reduce swelling, treat lung pain, dysentery, sores, hot cough, sores and other symptoms, and is also a snake wound medicine! Girl, don't look at it everywhere, it can save lives at critical moments! ”

Ling'er saw that the old man shook his head and said that he was right, and immediately became interested, "That... Will you see a doctor? ”

"The old man only grabs medicine and doesn't see a doctor!"

"Grab the medicine?" Ling'er thought for a while, took out the prescription prescribed by Dr. Zhong from her arms, and handed it over: "Old man, do you have all the medicinal materials on this prescription?" ”

The old man took the prescription and read it carefully from beginning to end, shook his head and muttered, Ling'er hurriedly said, "How is it, old man, are you all?" ”

"Hey, the herbs on the list are complete, but there are no more worms, painted stones, etc.!"

"Not quite?" Ling'er was a little disappointed.

"But...... You can use other herbs instead! ”

"Huh? It's true? Will the substitution affect the efficacy of the drug? ”

"Hey, the old man only looks at the prescription, and chooses the one with similar efficacy instead, it's hard to say whether it's really effective!"

The old man returned the prescription, Ling'er was a little disappointed, he thought he had found a good way to save money, but he couldn't use all the herbs, so he had to go to the pharmacy to get the medicine? Of course she knows that the things on the stalls are unreliable, but the things in the pharmacy are expensive! If these herbs really work, why not try them?

Ling'er gritted her teeth: "Old man, that... If you replace all the items on the list with herbs with equivalent functions, how much will it cost to catch a pair? ”

The old man looked at Ling'er for a while, stretched out five fingers, and Ling'er was happy: "Wuwen? ”

The old man shook his head and said, "Five pairs of texts, buy more and give more, ten pairs of forty texts!" ”

Ling'er was even more delighted, and was about to pay for it, but Xiaohuzi hurriedly stopped her: "Ling'er Ling'er, come here, come and I'll tell you!" ”

Xiaohuzi pulled her aside and said in a low voice: "Ling'er, my grandmother often says: You can't talk nonsense, you can't take medicine indiscriminately, how can you change the prescription prescribed by the doctor?" What should I do if I have a problem eating? ”

Ling'er thought about it, and looked back at the old man, he leaned back on the chair and leisurely basking in the sun while snorting dry cigarettes! This old man doesn't look like a liar, do you want to believe him?

Xiaohuzi persuaded: "Ling'er, if we don't ask others, there will always be someone who knows him!" ”

Ling'er felt reasonable, so she left the herb stall, pretending to wander along the stall next to her, and when she met someone good, she pretended to inquire about the old man's details unintentionally, but unfortunately everyone shook their heads and said they didn't know. When passing by the stall selling cloth, the aunt who was guarding the stall beckoned to Ling'er: "Hey, little girl, come and see this flower cloth, how beautiful it is!" ”

Ling'er blinked at herself when she saw her talking, as if she had something to say? Ling'er stepped forward, and the aunt whispered, "Girl, do you just want to buy medicine at that Xu Banxian stall?" ”

"Xu Banxian? Auntie knows him? ”

"Shhhh He has only been in our town for a few days, and not many people know him, and I also heard from Aunt Wang yesterday! ”

"Really? Does the aunt know that the herbs on his stall can be used? ”

"Heh, this...... I can't tell, so I'll tell you something! This old man, he used to be a doctor in the provincial capital, I heard that he was quite famous, and he also had a pharmacy, but later he killed several young ladies one after another, and the government copied his house and put him in prison, this pass is twenty years, and I heard that it was released at the beginning of the year! ”

"Heal the dead?! Then he still dares to come out and sell medicine? ”

"Hehe, people have to eat if they live, and besides, few people in our town know him now!"
