Chapter 35: The Clue to the Pharmacy Owner

Walking into the lobby of the pharmacy, there are many players coming and going.

Indispensable supplements such as blood medicine and blue medicine have become more and more important after people's level has been raised.

But the purpose of this trip is not the same as the people.

The figure of the pharmacy owner is busy behind the counter, even if there are four or five juniors in the store, he is still a little busy.

"Buy medicine."

I tapped my index finger on the countertop and yelled at the boss.

"Well, here it is." The boss packed up some loose pills and came over to greet me.

Just looking up at his face, his expression was a little unnatural, but after a moment, he adjusted his attitude of hospitality.

"What kind of medicine do you need to grab this guest officer?"

The more I look at it, the more suspicious I become, this guy must still remember me.

"Grab it, calm the grass." I don't beat around the bush, I just make it clear.

"I'm sorry then, the little shop is shabby, and there is nothing you want." The boss smiled, shook his hand and walked back.

I grabbed his cuffs directly, and the sudden tugging made the pharmacy owner look back at me in a bit of a panic.

"What is this doing, guest officer?"

"What? You don't admit it until I pull the lady who sells the umbrella over in person, right? ”

And when I mentioned the "umbrella lady", the pharmacy owner's expression changed significantly, from the previous avoidance, to the original.

"Shaoxia, are you here for the eldest mother's beloved grandson?"

The boss's expression of surprise proved my guess correct.

It seems that only by mentioning the key figure of the eldest lady can the follow-up tasks be triggered.

"Exactly, human life is at stake, and I hope the boss can make it convenient." I answered the boss's question in the affirmative.

Then, the boss looked around a little, then glanced out of the door, and said, "Young man, there are many eyes and ears here, please follow the old man's backyard to elaborate." ”

Then, I followed him to the side door.

When I opened the curtain, I found that the back of this pharmacy was actually very large, and there were many side rooms in the courtyard where medicinal herbs were stored, as well as some lower rooms for the second child's accommodation.

Walking past a pond in the backyard is a larger hall.

"Some time ago, I concealed something from the young man, and the reason for this is really unavoidable, and I hope the young man will not blame." As soon as I sat down at a table, the boss smiled at me and apologized.

"Boss, you are polite, such a move must be unspeakable, I can understand; But the eldest lady's grandchild is now sicker, and I have searched for it many times but have not been able to find the calming grass, so I came back to bother the shopkeeper again. ”

I explained my intentions very simply, and I hoped that the owner of the pharmacy would not hide it from me.

At this time, the boss's expression was a little worried.

"My aunt came to me that day to diagnose and treat my grandson, in fact, I already have eyebrows, and the symptoms are just ordinary poisoning, usually such diseases can be cured by prescribing some herbs. But this disease, I always have some indescribable awkwardness, saying that it is poisoning, but the child's physical weakness does not seem to be caused by weak qi and veins. “

It can be heard that after the boss personally diagnosed, he still found some abnormal clues.

"That kind of weird atmosphere, like people often say, lost soul."

"Lost your soul?"

I was also a little surprised by such a novel description.

"That's right, I originally thought that it was just that the child was weak, so the symptoms seemed more obvious, but the eldest mother told me that a Lang Zhong had asked her to find the calming grass to heal, and I realized that things were not so simple."

The plot went deeper than I expected, and I thought that as long as I picked it out, I would get a clue to find the Calming Grass.

But now it seems that there is a huge connection hidden behind this task.

"The legend of Zhenluo grass has been spread in the village since ancient times, but the harsh environment of the Poisonous Insect Valley has made many people who have gone to the temple in vain, and the reason why people are so obsessed with this herb is precisely because of the miraculous effect of Zhenluo grass.

———— is detached. ”

The boss looked at me seriously and made me deeply aware that things are not that simple.

"Do you mean that Langzhong is a drunkard who does not mean to drink, nominally to seek medicine to cure diseases, but actually borrows the hands of others to obtain this herb?" The direction of the task made me have more and more questions in my mind.

"Not only that, although I can't cure the symptoms of the eldest mother's love for her grandson, but the old man thinks that the child has already been manipulated by Na Langzhong, combined with his purpose of looking for this herb, the old man feels that he wants to seize this body."

The boss's inference is reasonable, and if this is indeed the case, then once the herbs are in hand, I will become an accomplice in finding the props for Na Lang Zhong.

However, there are always things that make people wonder what they can't figure out.

"If that is the case, then why don't you look for young and strong people, but for a frail child? Even if he got the body, what would he do with it? ”

The ensuing problems also made the pharmacy owner worried, he knew that things were not so simple, but he did not know the hidden secrets.

"The old man has told the young man everything he knows; It is precisely because the old man is also suspicious that he can only follow the method of Na Langzhong, so as not to startle the snake; The old man is a doctor, and it is my duty to save people's lives, I don't want to watch such a young life disappear, but how can I be powerless, so I hope that the young man can take the old man's expectations to find out the truth of the matter; If there is any difficulty in Shaoxia, you can come to me at any time, and I will do my best to help. ”

"Player Xingyu Accepts Hidden Mission: [Confusing]"

[Confusing]:

Mission Description: Aunt Wang's beloved grandson encounters unexpected difficulties, and the mysterious Lang Zhong exposes many suspicious questions, looking for the truth from various clues, so as to rescue Aunt Wang's beloved grandson.

Good boy! Another hidden mission?

The old man of the village chief had already left me a small tail before, and the [Road of Benevolence and Bravery] has not yet had a place, and there is another [Confusing].

In other words, the clues to the hidden mission are all so obscure? Doing a task is as brain-wrenching as solving a puzzle.

"Don't worry, I will try my best to save my aunt's beloved grandson." I clenched my fist at the healer's benevolent boss and got up to leave.

"There's Lao Shaoxia bothered."

……

When I came out of the pharmacy, I felt like my head was on the go.

With this little brain cell, it's not enough to memorize notes all day, and you have to die half more when you play a game.

"Xingyu, you haven't gone to Shanhai Town yet?" When I was having a headache, Bai Yu Feiyang came to greet me with a good conscience.

"Don't worry, wait until you gods are gone. I'll go again, or else my light will only be obscured by you. ”

"Alas, I'm also helpless! Born with the aura of the protagonist, this is something that can't be changed! ”

"Say you're fat, you're still panting, aren't you?"

"No, no, no, it's a good habit to be modest, just kidding! We're going to get a boss.,Thinking if you're there.,Put you a little together.,Recently, the team has been strangely deserted.,Lack of a few salted fish who shouted 666.。 ”

I'll go? I didn't go to town, and I actually delayed so many benefits?

The feeling of remorse grew heavier.

"I'll call you again when I have the opportunity in the future, I didn't catch up, it's very sad."

"Okay, then contact Ha~"

Bai Yu Feiyang, this person is indeed righteous enough, at least he can still think of me when he has good things.

But we don't have that luck.

Now that the task has been completed, it is more appropriate to continue to follow the vine, and the pharmacy owner's understanding of the matter has also given me a new direction to find.

If Lang Zhong really appeared in the village, it should have left some clues.

Now, the most suitable solution for me is to find some NPCs who are more familiar with the things in the village to ask.

Just as I was wondering if there was such a setting, a wave of patrolling guards, carrying lanterns in their hands, came from far and near from the corner.

……

"Go tell the captain that there are players out there who want to meet him and ask about something."

In front of a gate with a plaque of [Huangfu City Garrison], three guards with a player with a long sword on their backs reported to the guards standing guard at the door, and one of the guards nodded when he heard this, turned around and ran into the house in the courtyard, and then quickly ran back again.

"The captain said, busy business, no."

Belch......

It's sad for me to eat behind closed doors.

"Little brother, please help talk to the captain, just say that I really have a very anxious question to ask." I hurriedly explained to the guard NPC who reported at the door, hoping to be accommodating.

"Shaoxia, all matters in the village must be handled by the captain, so Shaoxia should not continue to make things difficult for us."

The guards who reported the news looked embarrassed, and it seemed that there was no room for negotiation.

"Little brother, there is a village chief Zhang Luo in the affairs of the village, how can he be so busy with the captain?" Seeing that the shortcut that could be queried was about to be missed, I hurriedly tried my best to fight for it.

However, the guards did not answer my words at the first time, and the leading guards looked at me with puzzled expressions.

"Shaoxia, haven't you seen the task list in the village?"

"Task list? What's the task list? ”

This sudden rhetorical question made me look confused.

"Shaoxia, there is a new task list set up by us in the north of the village, there are tasks set up by our guards, and there are also tasks posted by players on it, if Shaoxia has time, you might as well go there to see first, there should be something that Shaoxia wants to know,

We still have patrol tasks on our bodies, so we won't accompany Shaoxia more and say goodbye. The lead guard replied to me, and then turned and left with the other two guards.

I didn't want to run back and forth like this, but the guards didn't know anything about the things in the village, and only their captain had a lot of information.

But the cheating father's closed door was gone, so I could only run for nothing.

However, I don't know anything about the newly created task list mentioned by the guards, and I just don't have a clue, so it's better to go and take a look.

Because the village has expanded its scope, there are several wooden gates in the style of wooden fences at the entrance of the village on the north side of the village, and the task list is installed at the edge of the village entrance.

Although it is called the resounding name of the mission leaderboard, it is actually just a big billboard.

In front of the cards, there are quite a few people taking up tasks.

When you walk in, you can see that there are a lot of task papers neatly posted on it.

There is also a special piece of paper on the side of the task list to introduce how to use it: how to accept the task, where to deliver the task after completing it, how to post the task on it, where the reward for the task needs to be pledged, and so on.

The arrangement of large and small matters is very reasonable, so that players do not have to worry about the unilateral default of the direct task transaction between the player and the player; Moreover, before and after the mission, players do not need to meet at all, and the system will also keep the personal information of the publisher and the unveiler confidential, so the considerate rules also reflect the game's respect for players.

There are a lot of types of tasks.,But most of them are some simple collection materials.,But correspondingly,The task rewards are not gratifying.,It's just some small profits.,It's acceptable to do things along the way.,If you do it alone.,It's a little too boring.。

Looking back gradually, a task stamped with the official seal of Huangfu City hung in the middle of the right side of the task list, which was very eye-catching.

"Mission Release: Today's whereabouts of the village chief are suddenly unknown, and many matters in the village cannot operate normally, I hope that the majority of players can do their part to find the whereabouts of the village chief."

"Reward: Obtain a piece of equipment from a random part of the current level, and the quality will be randomly selected between silver and gold. (Level limit: 30 or less)"

"Mission time, no limit."

"Number of current job pick-ups: 869"

"The village chief?"

At this moment, it dawned on me why those guards had an unspeakable look at the village chief just mentioned.

I thought that the village chief was just a simple trip, but who would have thought that he would actually play missing.

To others, the village chief may be just a meaningless NPC; But for me, the value of the village chief is far beyond what can be measured now.

I raised my hand and tapped lightly on the task paper, and the system beep sounded in my ears.

"Player Xingyu accepts the mission: [Find the Village Chief]."

The severity of the problem made me a little unexpected, and the time point of the village chief's disappearance also made it impossible for me not to associate him with those tasks.

After taking the old lady's task, the village chief gave me an attribute that allowed me to enter the Valley of Poisonous Insects.

This attribute is simply tailor-made for entering the Valley of Poisonous Insects.

At that time, I just thought that I had relied on death to beg for nothing, in exchange for such benefits.

Looking back now, I realized that there might have been another reason for the incident.

The village chief, most likely, was also a participant in this matter; And this period of disappearance also adds to the authenticity of this conjecture.

The suspicions gradually increased, and I burned my brain cells as much as possible to combine the clues at hand.

"Could it be that this village chief has something to do with that mysterious Langzhong?"
