(157) The night is dark and looking for a turning point

After solving Dai Dequan and Wang Er, Lin Mengyao quickly went to the room. Although Wang Yuzhou took the pulse and said that Gu Beichen's pulse was much more stable, his face was still pale, and with the dim light, he even showed some misery.

After Gu Beichen suffered from the plague, the Lin Mansion and his gang were no longer as flattering as before, and they drilled here all day long, but Wang Yuzhou ran to Qingyuan three times a day. No matter who Wang Yuzhou is here for, Lin Mengyao always does not reject it, after all, Wang Yuzhou is a doctor.

For several days in a row, although the high fever subsided, Gu Beichen was still unconscious, and even a little more haggard.

"Brother Wang, how can this be?"

"Well, that's a strange thing. In the past, people who suffered from the plague would wake up once the high fever subsided, but he ...... What's even more strange is that the date is less than ten days, and it is not the time when the high fever subsides......"

Gu Beichen's situation, Wang Yuzhou couldn't explain it, and Lin Mengyao was even more uneasy. After sending Wang Yuzhou away, she carefully cleaned her face with Gu Beichen, and she could hear Gu Beichen muttering, her mouth was blurry, and what she called was clearly "Meng Yao". Lin Mengyao's eyes were hot, and the hesitation in her heart finally dissipated.

On this day, as soon as the night fell, Lin Mengyao called Cuizhu, and the two changed into men's clothes, put on the carriage, and went out of the house. There is only one thing to do, and that is to grab medicine. It's just that, in order to prevent the outflow of prescriptions, Lin Mengyao had to scatter in various pharmacies to grab medicines. In this way, it has its own selfishness, but the deep meaning cannot be ignored: I don't know whether this prescription will work or not, and the dosage of the medicine is uncertain.

The herbs on the prescription are more common. Only Huang Zhi!

Although Gu Beichen donated the Gu family's pharmacy Jishitang to the government that day, the people of Jishitang still recognized the Gu family as talking. When Lin Mengyao entered with Gu Beichen's private seal, the shopkeeper almost immediately recognized her as Gu Beichen's friend and received her courteously.

"I don't know what kind of medicinal herbs Childe is looking for?"

"It's not necessarily a medicinal herb!" Lin Mengyao's beautiful eyes turned and said, "I have an old man who was poisoned a few days ago, and the filth he vomited was mixed with a lot of golden ...... I think that Fuyang has been locked down for more than half a month, and this poison will not flow in from outside, so I want to see if there is any kind of golden medicine sold in the shop, and to whom it is ......"

The shopkeeper of this pharmacy is an old man of the Gu family, and he has some knowledge. Smell Lin Mengyao's words. After pondering for a moment, he asked, "Dare to ask Gongzi, is that old man of yours unconscious?" ”

"Exactly—"

“…… Unconscious, and golden...... But there is a medicine that has this effect...... "The shopkeeper twisted his goatee." said: "Childe's deceased may have been poisoned by Huang Zhi. It's just that. This Angelica Angelica is rarely used in medicine, but we don't have a ...... in Jishitang."

Jishitang is the largest pharmacy in Fuyang, and Jishitang does not have Huang Zhi. I'm afraid that the entire Fuyang City is gone. Lin Mengyao's heart sank, thanked her, and walked out a little unwillingly. Just when he walked to the threshold, the shopkeeper had already chased after him.

"Childe, the old slave just remembered that there is a Renshou pharmacy at the gate of Fuyang City, although the façade is small, but it has a history of nearly a hundred years, and there are some strange medicinal materials, so it is unknown that Huang Zhi may come from there!"

Renshou Pharmacy?

Lin Mengyao got into the carriage and told Guo Wei to go directly to Renshou Pharmacy. The sound of the carriage echoed in the clear night, Lin Mengyao supported her head, half-leaning on her body and thinking: If you can't find Angelica Angelica, then you must go back to Tonglu, Gu Ruyu is raising a Angelica Angelica plant in her room; If so...... What should I do if I find it? If the dosage is not well controlled, it may backfire and harm Gu Beichen and Ruan Qing!

Xu was tired, coupled with the bumps of the carriage, Lin Mengyao quickly fell asleep and half woke up, so that when Guo Wei suddenly stopped the carriage, the whole person fell forward. Quickly supporting her body, Lin Mengyao was shocked: "Cuizhu, what's the matter?" ”

"Miss, don't be surprised, a drunk man fell in front of the carriage!"

There was a false alarm, the carriage continued on the road, and unintentionally lifted the curtain, Lin Mengyao's eyes happened to fall on the drunk man in Cuizhu's mouth, the man did not look like he was drunk, he was lying on the ground, motionless.

"Cuizhu, stop-"

After getting out of the carriage, Lin Mengyao walked towards the man, and by the moonlight, he found that it was a young man. I saw that his face was crimson, his lips were chapped, and he was already delirious—wasn't he also suffering from the plague?

Isn't it a deliberate arrangement by God?

Lin Mengyao thought about it in her heart, but she was frightened by her own thoughts. After hesitating and getting into the carriage, he ordered Guo Wei to continue on the road, but he couldn't help but look back at the man again. The figure gradually disappeared into the night, Lin Mengyao's mind was chaotic, and she finally arrived at Renshou Pharmacy.

This Renshou pharmacy is not big, and it has been closed. Cuizhu called the door several times in a rough voice, and only then did the apprentice open the door.

"Little sir, we are in a hurry to buy a medicine, can it be convenient?"

"Buying medicine? Come back tomorrow, our shopkeeper has already fallen asleep! ”

The apprentice rubbed his eyes and was about to close the door, Lin Mengyao hurriedly spoke, holding an ingot of five taels of silver in his hand: "Little sir, saving people is like fighting a fire, let's make it convenient!" ”

As the saying goes, money can make ghosts grind, and when the apprentice saw the silver, he immediately came to his senses, welcomed them into the pharmacy, and turned around to find the shopkeeper. Lin Mengyao hurriedly called.

"It's getting late, and I'm sorry for disturbing the little gentleman's dream. At the moment, Mr. Xiao no longer needs to bother the shopkeeper for us...... "The matter of buying Huang Zhi should not be done, when looking at the eyes of the junior apprentice, Lin Mengyao knew that he was greedy: "We can only ask, because the medicinal materials we are asking for, this Renshou Pharmacy may not have ......"

"Oh, that's not likely! Although the sparrow is small, it has all kinds of organs', have you ever heard of it? ”

"That's right! Only, we went all over the pharmacy in Fuyang, but we didn't see the smell of medicinal materials. If there is a pharmacy, I will buy it with a lot of money! ”

"Dare to ask the guest officer, what kind of medicinal herb is it?"

"Huang Zhi!"

The young apprentice was stunned for a moment, and when he saw Cuizhu holding a big ingots in his hand and rubbing them, his mind was activated. I saw him get behind the counter, dig out the medicinal herb book, and put a strand of hair in the medicinal herb book on the counter with ease, and then flipped through it.

Seeing this posture, Lin Mengyao smiled. It seems that this apprentice has not been less than a thief of selling medicinal herbs. This is very good, if you have Huang Zhi, you can also hide people's eyes.

The young apprentice looked at it carefully for a long time, and finally laughed in a low voice: "Look, what am I talking about, don't we have Huang Zhi in our pharmacy!" ”

The elementary school apprentice was proud and found a rhizome of Angelica Angelica. Lin Mengyao was happy, but she still hesitated on her face: "Is this really Huang Zhi?" ”

"It's like a fake!"

"It's really Amitabha, God willing!" In this way, Lin Mengyao was overjoyed: "I don't know how Mr. Xiao will make a price?" ”

The junior apprentice once again took Lin Mengyao up and down, as if he was weighing his clothes, so that he could set a suitable price: "Meeting is fate, since it is a life-saving medicinal material, I will definitely not charge the price...... Childe, you pay three hundred taels of silver, this Huang Zhi is yours! (To be continued......)
