Chapter Seventy-Two: The Adventure of the Pharmacy
Lu Mingshuang stood in front of a pharmacy, looking at the door of the pharmacy and writing: I only wish that people in the world would be free of disease, and there will be dust on the shelf. Looking at the design of the shop, it is also very simple, and the strong smell of traditional Chinese medicine drove Lu Mingshuang into this store.
This pharmacy doesn't look any different from the others, the shopkeeper weighs the medicine in front of one counter, and the other packs the herbs that others have bought.
The shopkeeper sat inside, holding an herb in one hand, sometimes weighing it in his hand, sometimes looking closer, not knowing what he was observing.
Lu Mingshuang stretched out his hand and rubbed his chest, calmed down, and walked in a strange direction, stretched out his fingers and knocked on the wooden counter, attracting the three who were busy.
"Shopkeeper, I want to buy medicine."
The shopkeeper saw that Lu Mingshuang was wearing tattered and ugly, for fear of delaying his business, and hurriedly wanted to kick her out: "Buy medicine? Do you know how expensive drugs are now? If you dress like this, you can't afford it! ”
"The shopkeeper, when he opens the door to do business, what he wants is to welcome customers from all over the world. You can't look at your clothes. Lu Mingshuang's body was straight, and his eyes were already full of disdain.
She hates to meet this kind of person who evaluates others by their appearance the most in her life, and they don't weigh how many pounds and taels they weigh first.
Lu Mingshuang turned around and was about to leave, The shopkeeper heard Lu Mingshuang's speech a little level, not like a vulgar person in the countryside, so he gave the shopkeeper a look and asked him to invite people back.
"Guest officer, I was rude just now, please bear with me, what kind of medicine do you need to buy?"
Lu Mingshuang pursed her lips, she didn't have the heart to find the next pharmacy, although the boss here was really not a good person, but just now I saw that the medicines on the counter were all of the best grade, and they were in excellent condition.
She handed the shopkeeper a prescription, and the shopkeeper took it in his hand and looked at it carefully, then looked Lu Mingshuang up and down a few times, and said embarrassedly: "Guest officer, it's not me who said, if you really want to buy these medicines, it does cost some money." ”
The shopkeeper made a gesture, and Lu Mingshuang asked, "Thirty taels?" ”
"Three hundred taels!" The shopkeeper blurted out this number, which almost didn't make Lu Mingshuang angry.
"Shopkeeper, I also know some medicines, but just a month ago, I spent thirty taels enough to buy these portions on my prescription, and three hundred taels can buy half a year's portions!"
"This time is different from the past, guest officer, you don't understand the rules of Chongzhou, each of our pharmacies has to give dozens of taels of herbs to Chongzhou Prefecture on a monthly basis."
"And now that Wuhuan's team is stationed outside, no one dares to go out to collect medicine, so this is in short supply, and the price will naturally go up."
Lu Mingshuang didn't expect that there would be such strange regulations in Chongzhou, but unfortunately she only had a hundred taels of silver tickets on her, and it seems that her hope of buying medicine in Chongzhou today has been disappointed.
"Then I won't bother the shopkeeper, farewell." Lu Mingshuang nodded slightly, and was just about to leave, but was suddenly pushed aside by a person who rushed in and almost fell.
"Oh no, shopkeeper, my lord ate the recipe you matched, not only was it not good, but now he is starting to vomit blood!"
The shopkeeper immediately panicked and said in disbelief: "How can this be? I'm all right for the case, why is Master Zhu serious, how good is this! ”
The man pulled the shopkeeper out of the small counter and said to him: "What's the use of talking about this now, you can go over and take a look, the old man is the younger brother of the current state capital, if he can't get better, you can wait to be beheaded by the whole house." ”
The shopkeeper suddenly broke out in a cold sweat, trembling and picked up the medicine box, and said, "Don't, I'll go." ”
Lu Mingshuang thought of a plan, she hurriedly put down the basket in her hand, walked to the shopkeeper's side, took the initiative to take the medicine box and said, "The shopkeeper, the small one will carry the medicine box for you." ”
The shopkeeper was already frightened, and he didn't look at who was holding the medicine box, so he ran outside with the subordinate, and Lu Mingshuang also trotted non-stop to keep up with the subordinate.
After walking through an alley and turning a corner, I saw a mansion with a large size, and the plaque above the door wrote the word "Zhu Mansion" in a row.
Because there were subordinates with them, the gatekeeper didn't ask, and directly let them in. The three of them went all the way into the backyard, and they heard bursts of crying in the distance.
The shopkeeper wiped the sweat with the back of his hand, and walked into the house with a hard head, and saw Master Zhu lying on the bed with a blue face, and there was still a trace of blood on the corner of his mouth.
"This ...... How so?" The shopkeeper didn't believe what he was seeing, and pinched his eyes with his hand to make sure he wasn't dreaming.
The woman next to her cried and said, "The concubine's body is not clear, the old man vomited blood after drinking the medicine for a while, and his son had already fainted after a while." ”
The shopkeeper checked the pulse, and saw that the pulse was as thin as a gossamer, and the beads of sweat were like rain.
Lu Mingshuang saw that it was time, so he leaned over and said, "Master, didn't you teach me to use silver needles to puncture acupoints, so you don't need to do anything for this kind of trivial matter." ”!
When the shopkeeper saw that it was her, he immediately wanted to scold, now is not the time to sing child's play.
But he saw Lu Mingshuang take out the silver needle and stab it in Master Zhu's chest, which frightened him and almost fainted.
The others didn't know why, and thought that Lu Mingshuang was really the apprentice of the shopkeeper, but now that she had already tied it, it was too late to stop it.
After the first needle, Lu Mingshuang unhurriedly buckled Master Zhu's pulse, and after a while, she hooked her lips, as if she understood the cause.
This Master Zhu is too hot in his lungs, and this disease can be slowly adjusted with some ordinary herbs, and the shopkeeper of the pharmacy must have taken too good medicine, which led to the accumulation of medicinal properties, and there was nowhere to vent and vomit blood.
These are minor symptoms that can be elicited with a silver needle.
Lu Mingshuang didn't think about it and pulled out the needle again, pricked several needles on his arm, and then pushed it in his heart a few times, and when he stopped it, Master Zhu woke up magically.
When he woke up, he let out a long sigh and said, "Ah! This chest is finally comfortable. ”
Lu Mingshuang smiled and said: "It's easy to get angry when you are depressed in your heart, plus the old man's body is strong, and the fire will accumulate for a while, and now this mouthful of blood can be regarded as spitting out all the things that have accumulated, and the body will naturally be refreshed." ”
Old Man Zhu's voice was like a bell, and his face was much better than Fang Cai: "You mean, this shopkeeper Liu's medicine is not wrong?"
Lu Mingshuang took a few steps back and walked to the side of Shopkeeper Liu and said, "Naturally, no, if you don't believe it, you can stand up and walk." ”
Hearing this, Master Zhu got up, walked a few steps, and sure enough, he didn't feel out of breath anymore, and couldn't help grabbing the hand of the shopkeeper Liu, and said affectionately.
"Doctor Liu is really a miracle doctor, and someone will reward him with silver."
