Chapter 100: The Treasure of the Pharmaceutical Family
They were going to a city with a long history, but it still belonged to the Jiangnan area. The development of modern society has not seen the small bridges and flowing waters, but you can still experience the customs here in the scenery of the city.
Walking along the West Lake, all kinds of vehicles pass through the crowd, this lake has been a place for celebrities and beauties to linger for thousands of years. But now there are people everywhere, I don't know if there are celebrities and beauties in this person, but unfortunately people's aesthetic views are different.
"It's ahead." Yueli pointed to a pastoral field in the depths of the West Lake and said.
Lin Zixin thought that this was also one of the scenery here, but he didn't expect that there would be a private residence.
"This is the ancestral home of the Liu family, and other industries are scattered all over the place." He explained as he walked.
Walking through the bamboo forest, passing through the bluestone paved road, in front of which is a simple courtyard surrounded by a fence. There are several standard ancient buildings inside, which are simple and atmospheric. This courtyard is built on the high ground, and you can see the washbasin of a famous courtesan from afar.
"Huh!" She lowered her head and laughed, how could she think of this, I don't know how this pharmaceutical family would feel when they look at this face wash every day.
Yueli looked up at her, "What are you laughing at?" β
"It's just that I suddenly thought of another name for West Lake." She replied, "Do you think they'll join forces with the Ming family?" β
"No!" He affirmed.
"Two of you, the courtyard of the head of the house is in front, so I'll send it here." The porter said. As soon as they entered the bamboo forest, they were led by the porter over there.
When I opened the fence door, I didn't take a few steps to smell the strong medicinal fragrance, which is worthy of a pharmaceutical family. But can such a family that heals the sick and saves people have that kind of evil poison?
"Yes, since ancient times, medicine and poison have been a family." Yueli answered her doubts in a timely manner.
From the outside, this is a small courtyard, but the inside is really not small, built by the mountain, and there are many small pavilions on the floor. They traveled all the way. The door was wide open, and a tall, thin-haired old man stood in front of the old house, apparently waiting for them to arrive.
"Nephew, you're here." The old man laughed.
Yueli approached and replied, "Master Liu, don't come unharmed." β
Lin Zixin frowned slightly, very strange name.
"Come on, come on, let's talk in the house." The head of the Liu family was very familiar with them and asked them to enter the house.
"Excuse me." Lin Zixin followed them into the old mansion.
The furnishings in the house are simple, and there is no superfluous entourage, antique furnishings. The scent of herbs floated in the air, and for a moment she had a sense of dissonance with the time and space, as if modern people had suddenly returned to the past.
"The virtuous nephew is here. I've got it. It was our Liu family who broke the oath of the year, and this is everything related to 'Suo Linghuan'. He handed a small wooden box to Yueli, "Since then, our Liu family no longer has this 'Suo Linghuan', and it can be regarded as repaying the debt owed by this medicine." After saying that, he was a little silent and a little painful, and let go of his expression.
Lin Zixin was amazed. I'm afraid that this 'Suo Linghuan' owes a lot of debts! As a pharmaceutical family, it is undoubtedly an affirmation of one's own skills to be able to develop this kind of drug. But I am afraid it is unknown how much disaster this medicine has left behind, and it is certain that Han Qing is also one of the victims. She silently thought to herself, "There's a story here." β
Yueli took away the wooden box very painfully, "The head of the Liu family has such courage, Yueli admires it!" β
"Grandpa, you can't give them the ancestral treasure." A girl in her twenties ran out of the inner room. wanted to take away the wooden box, but was gently flicked by Yueli, and the girl fell to the side of the head of the Liu family. Look at the wooden box again, it's gone.
The head of the Liu family roared after holding this girl: "Unfilial descendants, our Liu family almost ruined your hands." Don't kneel down for me yet! β
"Grandpaβ" the woman shouted at them, "they take it by force! β
Lin Zixin smiled playfully, from their conversation, she already knew from whose hands she ate 'Suo Linghuan'.
"Shut up. Do you know that this medicine is banned by our Liu family? No one but the head of the house can touch his hands. You actually secretly took it to outsiders, do you know that our Liu family was almost wiped out in just your thoughts? The head of the Liu family was furious. Angry, the goatee shook and trembled.
"Ahem!" He coughed so hard that he couldn't stop cursing.
The woman immediately handed him tea, and kept patting him on the back with her hand, "Grandpa, are you okay?" It was only then that she burst into tears and realized the seriousness of the matter. She remembered the clan rules very well, but she had no choice but to do it.
"Grandpa, I was wrong. But this ancestral treasure can't be given to outsiders, it was Ming Yuzhe who deceived me, and he said that it was a collection. It's not all because of the eldest brother, who wants to completely replace the family business with Western medicine, but Chinese medicine is the root of our family, how can we forget our roots. She sobbed and said, "Besides, the medicine can't eat the dead, why give it to them for nothing?" β
She glared angrily, staring at Lin Zixin and them with two big eyes, looking like she was choosing people and devouring them, she really regarded them as robbers.
Lin Zixin picked up the tea and tasted it slowly, she didn't want to make the mistake of being overflowing with compassion again, she would be "infinitely useful" at one time, and she would look like an old god when she looked at the moon glass again.
"Shut up!" The head of the Liu family slapped her, closing his eyes and couldn't bear to look at him, the only granddaughter, who had the same volunteer granddaughter as himself.
"Danwen, you are my only granddaughter. I'd love you to take my mantle, but you have to know what you're doing wrong! Stealing 'Lock Spirit Huan' to outsiders, how is this different from those bastard boys? That's it, this medicine is cut off in my hand, and it's better than you use it to harm people! The old man shook his head and sighed bitterly.
"Grandpa!"
"This medicine was developed by a master in our Liu family a thousand years ago, and this medicine represents our family's high pharmaceutical skills. But this medicine is not a good medicine to cure diseases and save people, but a poison that harms people, even a little more poisonous than intestinal poison! β
Hearing this, Liu Danwen's face changed greatly, "Grandpa, I, I don't know." β
"Our Liu family violated the trust given to us by the guests back then, but he added ingredients that should not be stored in his prescription, which made the medicinal properties more than doubled, and also had other effects. Back then, the high-ranking person in the clan who left this medicine did unforgivable things with this medicine. β
He looked at Liu Danwen with great pain, "Danwen, I look at your behavior like the master of the medicine clan who left this medicine back then, have you seen the prescription?" Suddenly, he asked sternly.
"Plop!" Liu Danwen knelt down, "Grandpa, I swear, I didn't." β
Only then did the head of the Liu family turn his head to look at them, "Virtuous nephew, you see that this matter will end here." "The pleading mood is overflowing.
Seeing that Yueli didn't say anything, he said again: "One of the main ingredients of this medicine is in a wooden box, and there is not much stock left, and this medicine cannot be made without this main ingredient, so you can rest assured." β
Yueli nodded, and then they got up to leave.
"Thank you to the head of the Liu family for your accommodation, the ancestors will not lose their words when they say something. In this case, this grievance is written off! Farewell. β
The head of the Liu family personally sent them out of the fence courtyard, "This is my Liu family's property, if the scenery is available, the virtuous nephew can go around when he is free." β
"Danwen," he waved his hand to Liu Danwen behind them, "The old body and bones have not been as good as before in the past two years, so let my granddaughter be a guide for the two!" β
"Grandpa! I," she looked extremely reluctant, and her arrogance was silenced after being glared at by the old man, "Hmph! Come with me. "Take the lead and go ahead on your own, regardless of whether people are following or not.
"Hehe, this kid is spoiled by me."
Yueli also smiled and said, "Master Liu, please go back, don't leave it at that." β
They walked along the road to the bamboo forest, on both sides of the curved path, the bamboo forest grew very well, and when they turned around and couldn't see the head of the Liu family, they saw Liu Danwen waiting for them on the path.
She held a small piece of bamboo and waved it, "I'll kill these two people like dogs!" She waved it as if she hadn't seen either of them.
"Little girl, fight flies!" When Lin Zixin passed by her, she suddenly spit out such a sentence.
She pouted and said, "Yes! Kill them, kill flies. If you dare to peep at our house, be careful that I pinch you to death. β
"Well, that's right." After Lin Zixin stopped, she smiled brightly at her, "But I also heard that flies don't bite eggs, and if you do something wrong, you have to bear the price of doing something wrong, so this egg stinks!" β
Yueli laughed in front of them, causing the two of them to look at him together, "Ahem, you two continue." β
"Really? Are you a victim? She raised her head and smiled at her fearlessly, but after a moment, Lin Zixin looked down at her.
Lin Zixin turned around and walked forward step by step with his hands behind his back, "Yes, I was almost killed by it." The important thing is that it almost ruined me, so I had to destroy it afterwards. β
Liu Danwen followed behind and replied: "You can't destroy it, this is our ancestral thing, how can you do this to it?" β
"Do you want to keep it harmful?" Lin Zixin's footsteps slowed down and turned around to ask.
"No, I won't hurt people in the future, that's what I don't know. Please don't ruin it. Liu Danwen looked at her expectantly.
"Impossible!"
"You, you scoundrel!" Waving two fists, Liu Danwen said angrily, "You wait, I will definitely take it from your hands again, you wait for me!" She turned angrily and walked away, leaving them in the direction of the fence garden.
"Oh, she's still a quick-tempered little girl."
As soon as she finished speaking, Yueli put the wooden box in her hand, "This is for you." β
"Isn't this okay? It's in the name of your Yue family that you want to come out! In other words, I don't have this face. β
He looked at her with sparkling eyes and smiled to the top of his eyebrows, "You don't want to destroy it, do you fulfill it." β
"Talking about playing, ancestral treasure! I haven't studied it yet, how can I destroy it, and you believe it when you lie to the little girl? As he spoke, he snatched the wooden box and hugged it.
"If you develop an antidote, give me a copy, my ancestors are also interested."
Suddenly, she smiled, "No problem, but I need your help!" β@@##$l&&~*_*~&&l$##@@
