Chapter 32: Staying overnight at the pharmacy
Tang Xiaoqi went to look for Yi Xingchen in the morning and saw their house. Indeed, it is not an exaggeration to say that the furnishings of the house are surrounded by four walls, and it is indeed not as good as the Chase Shop where their pharmacy guys live. Seeing that Yi Xingchen was so persistent, he didn't want to say anything else, so he nodded and said, "Okay, since you are willing to sleep in the Chase Shop, then it's okay, I'll go and tell my uncle, it's no problem." ”
Tang Xiaoqi thought about it again and said, "I asked my uncle to tell your master, just say that your master's illness can't leave, so as not to change his condition at night, so he must stay in the pharmacy and take medicine at night, so he should agree to stay." ”
Yi Xingchen smiled: "This idea is good, so it's decided, but can your uncle agree?" ”
"As soon as he agreed, my uncle had a good relationship with Mr. Gongsun, and this time you saved Sister Meizi, my uncle is very grateful to you, so you will definitely agree to this request, don't worry."
"Sister Meizi is related to your uncle?"
"Not a relative, but a relative. Because Sister Meizi's master is my uncle's senior sister, Sister Meizi calls my uncle uncle. ”
"Oh, then Sister Meizi is also your senior sister?"
"No, my martial arts were not taught by my uncle. It's not taught by Sister Meizi's master, I have another master. My master has been kind to me, and I will take you to see my master when I have the opportunity in the future. ”
Yi Xingchen smiled: "Okay, thank you for your help, if the master can stay, I will be relieved, thank you." ”
"No thanks, won't you help me if I ask you to tell the hexagram in the future? Maybe I have some bloody disaster or something, just like Sister Meizi, if you calculate it for me, I may be able to pick up a life. ”
"How can there be so many bloody disasters, many people don't live peacefully until they are old."
"That's them, we are different, we are people on the rivers and lakes, people are floating in the rivers and lakes, how can we not be knifed? Maybe I'll hit it at some point. ”
Listening to her speak with immaturity, she actually spoke so old-fashioned, Yi Xingchen couldn't help but be a little funny: "Are you still 'floating in the rivers and lakes'?" The little girl's family, in two days, should find her mother-in-law's husband and godson, and what are you going to do. ”
"What are you talking about? I won't tell you. Tang Xiaoqi blushed and stomped her feet, gave him a strange look, turned around and ran into the front hall like a gust of wind.
Yi Xingchen followed behind, and when he arrived in the front hall, there were already many patients who had gone back after seeing the disease, Tang Xiaoqi glanced back at him, his face was still flushed, and he smiled, and then went to his uncle's ear and muttered something. Huang Langzhong nodded frequently.
Yi Xingchen saw that Master Gongsun He was sitting on the bench and looking at the ground with his head drooping, looking listless, so he walked over and whispered, "Master, how do you feel?" ”
"My whole body is tired, I always want to vomit, and I want to go to the toilet."
Yi Xingchen looked worried and said, "Master, it seems that Xinghua and the two of them have ill intentions and put something in the wine, fortunately we found it early, but I don't know if this thing will be harmful to the body." ”
Gongsun He was obviously worried about this matter in his heart, vomiting and diarrhea, although he knew that it was because of the medicine, but after all, he was worried about his physical condition, and when he heard Yi Xingchen say this, his face was even more worried.
Huang Langzhong nodded after listening to what Tang Xiaoqi said, got up and walked to Gongsun He, twisted his beard and said, "Mr. Gongsun, although your illness is half better, I am worried that it has not been completely resolved, so it is best for you to stay in our pharmacy tonight, so I can treat you at any time in case anything happens." At the same time, you still have to take medicine once at night, so you don't have to take the medicine back to decoction, and you can decoction it in my pharmacy, I don't know what you think? ”
Gongsun He was worried about his body, and when he heard Huang Langzhong say this, he was in his arms, and he hurriedly said: "Thank you, since this is the case, then my master and apprentice will bother, thank you." ”
Huang Langzhong personally took Gongsun He and Yi Xingchen to the house of the buddy Datong.
There were seven or eight guys in the Chase shop, and several of them were already lying down. In addition to the pharmacy in front of the hall, there are also pharmacists who concoct medicinal materials, medicine boys who decoct medicines, and so on, adding up to more than a dozen.
These guys have a leader, surnamed Zhang, known as Lao Zhangtou. At the moment has been lying down. Seeing Huang Langzhong entering, he quickly sat up again, wearing clothes and greeting with a smile, Huang Langzhong nodded and said, "Old Zhangtou, this is Mr. Gongsun, a fortune teller, and his apprentice Brother Yi." Because Mr. Gongsun is sick and wants to stay in our pharmacy for observation, I will sleep in your Datong shop tonight, and you will take care of it. The bedding went to the storehouse to get a new one. ”
The old man named Lao Zhangtou hurriedly nodded and laughed: "I know Mr. Gongsun, I used to calculate the hexagram with him, and he calculated the hexagram accurately." ”
Gongsun He knew that he was polite, and he smiled humbly.
After Huang Langzhong left, Lao Zhangtou called two guys to go to the warehouse to get two sets of new bedding, made beds for them, and instructed the guys to bring water for washing their faces and feet, and after washing, the two went to bed and lay down.
Yi Xingchen saw that the master had been sullen all the time, and he didn't know what he was thinking, so he lay down next to him. The men all came back one after another, washed up, and went to bed.
When Lao Liu saw that the guys had entered the house, he closed the door, tied the bolt of the door, and pressed it against the top door bar. Lao Zhangtou said to Gongsun He: "Mr. Gongsun, if you feel unwell at night, just tell me, and I will hurry up and find the shopkeeper Lang to see you, you must not be polite." ”
Gongsun He agreed. The room fell silent.
After a while, Yi Xingchen heard Gongsun He let out a long sigh. The sigh was full of regret, mystery and incomprehension, presumably the master was still thinking about the apricot blossom girl. Indeed, the old man has been a bachelor for most of his life, this is the first time he has intimate contact with a woman, but he didn't expect that a moment of tenderness would disappear immediately, and it was really pitiful, no wonder he sighed for a long time. In the future, if you have money, you should first find a wife for Master, so that he can enjoy his old age in peace.
This night, Gongsun He estimated that he could not sleep soundly. I sighed a night for a few times, and even a few guys muttered a few words with some dissatisfaction, but Gongsun He didn't care about other people's feelings at all, or the chagrin and disappointment in his heart could not be released if he didn't pass this sigh, only in this way would his heart be better.
Yi Xingchen couldn't sleep well, he had been worrying about that hexagram, and there was always an uneasiness lingering in his heart, so he was half-asleep until dawn.
Suddenly, there was a banging knock on the door outside the shop, and a guy said loudly: "Old Zhangtou, open the door quickly, the people from the yamen are here, look for Mr. Gongsun, open the door quickly." ”
When Lao Zhangtou heard that he was a guy on night duty in front of the pharmacy, and when he heard that the people from the yamen were looking for him, he couldn't help but be startled, and quickly got up, and he didn't have time to put on his clothes, and he came to the door in two steps, took the latch, removed the top door bar, and opened the door. A cold wind blew, and I couldn't help but shiver. I saw that many people in the courtyard were holding lanterns in their hands, led by a head catcher in a silk coat, carrying a waist knife, staring at him fiercely.
Lao Zhangtou recognized this as the head catcher of the Yamen, surnamed Cui. With a few catches in the back. This Cui Zhutou usually smiles when he sees people, but at the moment he has a straight face and a cold face, seeing him like this, Lao Zhangtou knows that something is wrong.
Cui Zhutou glanced at Lao Zhang's head and said, "The two masters and apprentices of Gongsun He, who tell fortunes, are they here?" ”
Lao Zhangtou hurriedly nodded with a smile and said, "Yes, yes, they are sleeping in it." ”
"If something so big happens, can you still sleep? Hurry up and get them up, I have something to ask. ”
In fact, there is no need to greet Lao Zhangtou, hearing the guys outside say that the people from the yamen are looking for him, Gongsun He has already panicked and dressed up. Now hearing what Cui Zhutou said, he hurriedly walked out, hugged his fists and laughed with him, and said, "I don't know what Cui Zhutou has to say to find the old man?" ”
