Rong Ji Pharmacy is the only Chinese medicine shop in the county, and the store is very large. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info

The shopkeeper of the pharmacy is surnamed Rong, he can see a doctor and is responsible for providing medicinal materials, and people from all over the county come to him to see a doctor, so the business has always been good.

In addition, his son Rong Chao and his partner Liu Gui are often in the shop.

But these days, there is a new guy in his family, fifteen or sixteen years old, more than 1.70 meters tall, and he looks a little thinner. I don't usually talk a lot, and I often help the shopkeeper Rong grab a medicine or something. This is naturally Huo Xiaoshan.

After seeing that his mountain village was slaughtered by devils, Huo Xiaoshan's first thought was to find his father Huo Yuan, since he said that he was going to avenge himself, he naturally wanted to find a place where there were devils.

So he proposed to enter the county seat with Liu Gui.

Liu Gui has lived for such a long time, although he is not a so-called person in the rivers and lakes, he still feels that this Huo Xiaoshan is very different, such as the blind bear in the mountains and forests who ran away when he looked at him, for example, this Huo Xiaoshan hacked to death a wild boar that couldn't even be killed with a shotgun, for example, when he saw the bloody case of the whole village being slaughtered, Huo Xiaoshan was not at a loss like an ordinary child.

Although Liu Gui also hates the Japanese, he doesn't want to cause trouble for himself, no matter what it is dissatisfied with the continent, what Japanese are not Japanese, he only believes in one, I am my little common man, anyway, I am all alive.

So he groaned and didn't immediately agree. On the contrary, as soon as Na Rongchao heard that Huo Xiaoshan was going to the county seat, he happily agreed, and Liu Gui, who was a young shopkeeper, naturally didn't say anything.

As soon as he entered the county, Rong Chao even said that Huo Xiaoshan was his life-saving benefactor for entering the mountain this time, and the whole village was killed by the devil, so he asked his father to leave Huo Xiaoshan in the shop as a buddy.

Huo Xiaoshan just wanted to inquire about his father's news, so he naturally agreed to stay, but he also explained to the shopkeeper that he wanted to find his father, and he might not always be able to stay in the shop, so he actually took out a mallet of seven or eight taels as the money for his own residence here, on the condition that he could help here, but he could not restrict his personal freedom, and asked for a small room to live in.

In this way, even the shopkeeper of Narong could see the difference between Huo Xiaoshan, but because Huo Xiaoshan really had a life-saving grace for his son, he took out a big stick mallet that was so valuable (the money from the sale of this big stick mallet was to let Huo Xiaoshan stay in his pharmacy for three years and five years, and he was rich) No matter what, he couldn't say anything about refusing Huo Xiaoshan, and after thinking about it, this Huo Xiaoshan was just a fifteen-year-old child, how much more wind and waves could he make, so he also agreed to Huo Xiaoshan's request.

And Liu Gui has the mentality that it doesn't matter to himself, and he doesn't say anything.

So Huo Xiaoshan took the Rongji Pharmacy as a foothold, and in the early days, Huo Xiaoshan also stayed very quiet, helping him grab medicine every day when he was busy, and by the way, he asked how to prescribe prescriptions for people, and went to the street to go shopping when he was free.

Huo Xiaoshan This is the first time he has come out of the mountain, and when he first came, he still had a little novelty in the county, but after a few days, he felt that there was nothing new.

Because the county seat is not big, with a population of several thousand, Yung Kee Pharmacy is located on the only street in the county that is still like a spot, and you can go shopping without much effort.

Where the palm is big, something new will spread quickly.

Whose family fought over the division of inheritance, whose children were bitten by the big wolf dogs of the Japanese, whose widows were involved with the people on the garrison, the patients who came to see the doctor every day, and the neighbors who came to the door to drink tea were all carriers of that information.

There is an old saying that if you don't go out, you can know the affairs of the world, and in the same way, you can know the affairs of the whole county while sitting in the pharmacy.

Huo Xiaoshan quickly figured out the situation in the county seat, where a regiment and a squadron of the garrison were stationed.

It is now the twenty-fourth year of the Republic of China, and the puppet Manchukuo has been established for several years.

After the Japanese Kwantung Army occupied the three eastern provinces, the main forces were fighting against the Northeast Anti-Japanese Coalition Army and preparing for a full-scale invasion of China, so the so-called garrison forces that had taken refuge in the Japanese became the main force to maintain the local area, and the Japanese invasion left only a small part of the troops to strengthen control.

After a long time, Huo Xiao is diligent and able to work, although he doesn't talk much, he can definitely see the height of his eyebrows, and he is also deeply pleased with the shopkeeper Rong, so he will occasionally take him to the clinic or something, both inside and outside the county, and he will say that he is his apprentice to the outside world.

Every day when Huo Xiaoshan is free, he also learns from the shopkeeper Rong to see people, although he does not intend to be a country man, but he is particularly concerned about the treatment of surgical bruises, because he is a person who practices martial arts after all, who dares to prove that he will not be injured, relying on his own intelligence and erudition, during this period of time, he has studied surgery.

Since they were all familiar with it, Huo Xiaoshan felt that Shopkeeper Rong was a lot less wary of himself, so he tactfully asked a local old household like Shopkeeper Rong if anything big had happened in this county two or three years ago.

Shopkeeper Rong recalled, that is, in the winter three years ago, a lot of devils came, and it was said that he killed the commander of a brave army, and the devil was blinded in one eye.

Soon, someone entered the devil's barracks in the middle of the night, and it is said that they killed more than a dozen devils, but no one knew whether that person was alive or dead, because the group of devils at that time belonged to a search and suppression team that specialized in dealing with the volunteers, and they soon withdrew, and they were not a group of people with the devils who are now stationed.

This is actually a trick by the shopkeeper Rong, for fear that Huo Xiaoshan will cause trouble for him if he lives here, so he will not tell the truth no matter what.

Huo Xiaoshan didn't speak for a long time after listening to what the shopkeeper Rong said, but he was thinking in his heart, it should be his father Huo Yuan and Uncle Erpole who touched the devil's barracks in the middle of the night, but no one can say whether they were killed by the devil, after all, the common people are hearsay, so where did the mother go, if the father did not have a mother, would he go back to Jinling, it turned out that he heard his father and mother discuss at night whether he should move back to Jinling to end his life in seclusion.

Huo Xiaoshan thought about it and came to no avail, and it was useless to be anxious in his heart, so he still found a way to inquire about the second devil.

But I didn't expect that just a few days after the beginning of winter, martial law suddenly began in the county town at night, and the patrolling devils and garrisons also increased a lot of people.

According to the news from people who came to see the doctor from outside, it was the Anti-Japanese Federation that attacked the neighboring county town and killed dozens of devils, and the Japanese puppet army in this county town was like a great enemy, and the plainclothes team went around the streets and alleys, looking like everyone was the Anti-Japanese Union.

Huo Xiaoshan saw that his father couldn't find it, so he wanted to go to the south to find his mother, but he didn't know how to go.

However, the shopkeeper of Narong saw Huo Xiaoshan's thoughts, so he advised him not to act rashly as a half-old child, who was not familiar with life outside the country, and there were all kinds of soldiers and bandits with guns everywhere in the northeast, so it was better to wait until after the beginning of spring to have merchants from the south who came here to sell medicinal herbs to go with them.

Huo Xiaoshan had no other good way, so he had to help in the store every day according to his thoughts of finding his mother.
