The afternoon sky was overcast, and black clouds were overwhelming.

The leaves on the trees in the courtyard swayed wildly, and it wasn't long before the rain fell, ticking down on the eaves.

Liu Ming sat on the bed, staring at the oil lamp on the board in a daze.

The praying mantis catches the cicada, and the yellow finch is behind. The bureau carefully designed by himself and his father has lost its effect under the uncle's hidden accounts.

Although the clan elder announced that he would discuss again, it was obvious that Liu Xianda had an absolute advantage.

Liu Ming did not expect that Liu Xianda had managed the family business well in recent years, and would expand the industry to neighboring counties and state capitals.

These pharmacies that suddenly appeared were also very suspicious.

Liu Ming yawned, looked listless, stretched again, pushed open the sandalwood window, and stretched his head a little bored to look into the courtyard.

Looking at the closed wing room of Xing'er outside the window, he thought that in a few days, Yang Dianshi's welcoming party would come. This official, whom he has never met, is about to snatch his apricots......

Thinking of this, Liu Ming's heart was blocked for a while.

What about losing you and winning the whole world?

When Liu Ming was hesitant and worried in the room, the porter came to report, and Li Yuanbao and Tie Niu asked to see him.

Liu Ming welcomed the two to the room, and asked his subordinates to make tea and hand over melons and fruit snacks.

"Liu Gongzi ......" The sturdy iron bull rubbed his hands and said with a smile, "Since you helped us build the road, the mountain people have transported the walnuts, melons and fruits in the mountain to the outside world through the new road, but they have a stable income." Some time ago, typhoid fever broke out, and many people came to Wu County. The brothers in the mountains all said that it was you, Liu Gongzi, who changed our lives. Isn't this ......," Tie Niu pointed to the sack on his back on the ground, "These things are all in the mountains, and they are not respectful." ”

Liu Ming looked at the sack on the ground and opened it to see that it was full of wild ginseng with the thickness of his forearm, and there were black-brown clumps of soil on the ginseng, which should have just been dug up.

"Brother Tieniu, you are too polite."

Tie Niu smiled: "These are all ready-made in the mountains, I heard that the old lady suffers from tuberculosis, and she needs wild ginseng as a medicine primer." This is readily available in the mountains. ”

Liu Ming said gratefully: "Tie Niu thank you. He suddenly thought that he had been so busy that he didn't have a chance to visit the old lady.

Dad is close to himself, and uncle is good to himself, although in comparison, the relationship between the old lady is farther away, but a seriously ill old man is sick in bed, which does not cause people to be sad.

Liu Ming immediately decided to visit the old lady's house with Li Yuanbao and Tie Niu.

The three of them walked through the hall and entered the pavilion, and when they came to the old lady's room, they saw two family members guarding the door.

"Young Master Ming, what are you going to do?" A housekeeper asked.

Liu Ming asked strangely: "I came to visit Taigong, what are you doing here?" ”

"I'm sorry Young Master Ming, Master Xianda has orders, during the period when the old lady is seriously ill, no one is allowed to visit." A family member said.

Liu Ming was suddenly a little angry, in normal times, maybe he would reason with his family calmly. But the recent family banquet made him feel a little bad.

"Get out of the way!" He unceremoniously pushed the housekeeper.

The guy was pushed to the ground. Another family member tried to stop him, but the strong iron bull grabbed him by the neck and threw him aside like a chicken.

"Where's your lord?" Liu Ming asked the other party angrily, he wanted to find Liu Xianda to confront him.

"The lord and the clan elders have gone to escape the summer, and they won't be back until tomorrow." A housekeeper sat on the ground, bared his teeth, rubbed his sore arm and said.

Liu Ming sneered, the old lady was seriously ill, and his uncle had a good chance to escape the summer.

The three of them entered the house without saying anything.

In the room, there is a strong smell of Chinese medicine. The room was dimly lit, the windows were covered by thick curtains, and although the sun was shining outside, no light could penetrate at all.

The emaciated old lady lay on the couch, her white undershirt with a round neck and large sleeves looked empty, her cheeks were almost exhausted by the pain, and the protruding cheekbones cast a deep shadow on her cheeks.

The wind and candles are in their last years, and the oil is exhausted and the lamps are dry. Liu Ming looked at the frail figure of the old lady and couldn't help but feel a little sad.

"Yes...... Ming'er? There was a low groan from the couch.

"Ah Gong, it's me." Liu Ming stepped forward and shook the old lady's hand.

"Ming'er...... How are you? Although the old lady's voice was very weak, looking at Liu Ming's gaze, it was still kind and caring.

"Good, good, good." Liu Ming held Taigong's thin hand, and his heart was sour, "Taigong, Ming'er has been busy with other things during this time, and I have neglected to come to see you...... Ming'er really shouldn't be ......."

The old lady tried to squeeze out a smile, and said with difficulty: "Young man, you should go outside and break through, and accompany me, an old fellow, all day long, what can you do?" ”

Liu Ming chatted with the grandfather for a few more words, and when he saw the old lady's appearance, his heart became more and more sad, and he couldn't bear it, and wanted to go outside to breathe.

"Yuanbao, let's go......"

Li Yuanbao didn't move, he stared at the old lady on the couch and asked, "Little boy, what is your grandfather's disease?" ”

"My grandfather has tuberculosis, and during this time, he has been sick in bed, all relying on the medicine at home to maintain it."

"Little boy, can you let me check the pulse?" Li Yuanbao stared at the old lady who was lying in bed.

Li Yuanbao's sudden move surprised Liu Ming. He didn't expect that the other party would still see a doctor.

"Little boy, don't be surprised, I used to be a traveling doctor for a few years, and I still have a bit of three-legged cat kung fu."

"Then take a look."

Li Yuanbao made a basin of water, washed off the plaster on his hands, and then sat down next to the old lady's bed, lifted the corner of the futon, exposed his right wrist, stretched out two fingers, put it on his pulse, and cut it up.

"This disease...... Actually, it's easy to cure ......," Li Yuanbao spit out with a strange face.

"Yuanbao, could it be that you can make Ah Gong's illness heal?" Liu Ming asked with some disbelieving. Not to mention anything else, his Liu family pharmacy is second to none in Fei County. Da Bo Liu Xianda's medical skills are much more proficient than those of Lang Zhong, who walks the streets and alleys, and even patients from several nearby counties often come to ask for medicine.

Under the background of relatively backward medical technology in ancient times, Liu Ming heard that tuberculosis was about to die in less than half a month. And now, the old lady has been bedridden for several months, thanks to the fact that the family runs a pharmacy and medical hall, which has an innate advantage.

Of course, Liu Ming also knew that if this tuberculosis was another thousand years away, in the period of his previous life, it could be cured with advanced medical equipment. However, although he came through time, he is not a medical professional, and it is almost impossible to solve this problem.

However, Li Yuanbao's words made him feel a little surprised. This Li Yuanbao loves money like life and calculates accurately, but he never says big things. Since he said so, could it be that he has miraculous medical skills in this era? Is it Zhang Zhongjing and Li Shizhen in the Song Dynasty?

Many strange thoughts instantly popped up in Liu Ming's mind, and he asked urgently: "Yuanbao, do you really have a way to treat this tuberculosis?" ”

"Little boy......" Li Yuanbao's face was a little strange and weird, he didn't answer Liu Ming's question directly, but stood up and said softly, "Can you show me the prescription that the old lady took when she was fair?" ”

"This prescription is all in the uncle's place."

Liu Ming pointed to a small porcelain bowl on the coffee table, there was still some black-brown medicine residue and soup left in the porcelain bowl, and said, "These medicines are usually carefully blended, and it is said that the medicine primers are difficult to find, and they are also very expensive, and the amount is all prepared." If you're looking for a ready-made one, I'm afraid that's the only one......"

"Little master, let's go to the courtyard and talk, don't alarm the old lady." Li Yuanbao's tone became cautious.

"Li Yuanbao, you are a good person, do you want to take this prescription and sell it for money?" Liu Ming laughed.

Li Yuanbao smiled, did not argue, held the porcelain bowl, and said, "Little master, you wait in the courtyard for a while, I will come when I go." ”

Tie Niu crossed his arms beside him and said, "Your bookkeeper is quite good at pretending to be a ghost." ”

Liu Ming smiled and spread his shoulders: "If he really pretends to be a ghost this time, let's see how I clean him up." ”

After half a pillar of incense, Li Yuanbao stepped into the courtyard again.

Liu Ming waited a little impatiently, and urged: "Yuanbao, what the hell are you doing?" If you want to sell it for money, I'll tell you, I can't help you. If you can cure my grandfather's illness, then hurry up and take out the recipe. ”

"Little boy, I don't want to sell prescriptions for money, and I don't have the ability to completely cure diseases like tuberculosis." Li Yuanbao said calmly.

"What the hell are you doing?"

"Little master, look at this." Li Laolai handed over a palm-sized paper bag.

"Could this be a medicine primer?" Liu Ming was a little strange, he took it, slowly opened the paper bag, and saw the contents of it, but he was taken aback, and threw the paper bag on the ground in disgust: "You are sick!" Can this be used as a medicine primer? ”

Inside the paper bag lay a newborn young mouse, screaming desperately, and constantly twitching, as if it was half-paralyzed.

"Little Master...... It's not a primer for medicine."

Li Yuanbao said with a serious expression: "This mouse...... Just drank the medicine in the old lady's bowl. ”
