Memories (12)

I took the herb from my waist and put it on the table, and I thought of the thousand-year-old He Shou Wu. These things were useless to me, so I pushed them in front of the shopkeeper and said, "These herbs were exchanged for them at the pawnshop in Yuhang City, and now they are useless to me. ”

The shopkeeper hurriedly excused himself, and I said, "I have been here to stay, but fortunately the shopkeeper has taken me in, although I only have the grace of a meal, it has great significance to me." The herbs in this paper bag are used to stop bleeding and heal injuries, and they are ordinary medicinal materials, but the effect should be extremely good. ”

I said sincerely, and the shopkeeper was not easy to refuse. He took the medicinal herbs, as if he thought of something, and said: "I didn't ask before because I was afraid of offending, but now the girl has given this valuable medicinal herb to the little old man, then it will be regarded as a little old man's mouth, but the girl knows how to heal?"

I nodded, "I understand a little." ”

The shopkeeper said: "I heard you say that you are here in exile, and I guess that you should not have a place to go for the time being, so I dare to make a suggestion, if the girl does not dislike it, you can go to the Houpu Tang Medical Center in Yuhang City to make a living, and the Houpu Tang is opened by my brother." If you think it is possible, I will write you a letter of introduction, and you will bring it to him, and he will take you in. ”

Hospitality. The old man let me experience a lifetime of suffering, in that medical hall is the most able to experience the pain of birth, old age, sickness and death, and I learned art with Ge Xian Weng in my early years, although the medical skills are not refined, but the prescription is a lot of memorization, and the kung fu of identifying the herbs is naturally not a problem. Now that I'm new to the human world, I don't have a place to stay, so going to that clinic is indeed a good choice.

I got up and bowed to the shopkeeper, and said, "I'm worried about having nowhere to go now, thanks to the shopkeeper showing me a clear way, Bi'er is grateful." ”

The shopkeeper waved his hand, "It turns out to be Miss Bi'er, in this case, I will give you a letter tomorrow, and you can bring it to my brother." ”

On the second day, when I was leaving, the shopkeeper really gave me a letter, and the envelope read "Li Houpu personally opened." I saluted him again, "Thank you, shopkeeper." ”

The shopkeeper sent me out of the post station, said "take care" to each other, and I rushed towards Yuhang City.

The magnolia hall was not far from the pharmacy where I bought medicine that day, and as soon as I entered the door, I smelled a strong smell of medicine. In a trance, I was reminded of when I first went to the anther palace. At that time, I had just learned to walk, and I was still a little doll that didn't reach my waist.

That Ge Xian Weng was a dull and boring little old man who could only deal with the medicinal herb Dan furnace. He's not like my master, with a bunch of fox friends around him. Always alone. He is very low-key. Yes, he was naturally lukewarm to me.

I have been by his side for more than fifty years, except for the last time when I blew up the Anther Palace, I have never been given the opportunity to enter his alchemy room on weekdays. Although my affection for that Ge Xian Weng is not as good as that of me and the old man, he has never held me accountable for such a catastrophe as blowing up the anther palace.

When I think of this past, I can't help but feel like I'm in a different world.

Xu had been standing in front of the hospital for a long time, when the elementary school boy in the hospital noticed me. He walked up to me, raised his hand and saluted, and behaved quite like an adult, "I saw that the girl's gait was calm and bright, but it was different from the people who came to see me, so I privately guessed that the girl did not come to consult or ask the doctor to visit her, but to find someone, and it was not a matter of life and death." ”

I was distracted, and when I heard him say this, I was slightly stunned before I looked at him carefully. He wore two neat buns, red lips and white teeth, and a short gray gown, which was a little different from the mortal boy I had imagined. When I saw that he was clever, I felt a little good in my heart, and immediately replied: "This little doctor is very discerning, and I have come to find your shopkeeper." ”

The little boy seemed to be a little curious, and secretly glanced at me, it looked like an ordinary drooping child, but then he pretended to be old and said: "Unfortunately, my father, no, my shopkeeper is not here, can the girl wait for a while." ”

I nodded, curious about the child, so I sat down and watched quietly. Although he looks young, he acts very neatly, picking up medicines, weighing medicines, and packing medicines, and the whole process is smooth. But a child is a child after all, and occasionally you can still glimpse a little impatience on his face.

After waiting for about a stick of incense, a man who looked very similar to the shopkeeper of the post station entered the door with a medicine box, and he didn't need to think about it to know that he was Li Houpu, the shopkeeper of the medical hall.

I was sitting in an unobtrusive position and he didn't notice me. After he put the medicine box, I was about to step forward, and Li Houpu's voice suddenly thundered into my ears, "How many times have I told you, the medicine is not called that, the medicinal materials to be weighed today are all ordinary medicinal materials, a little excess has nothing to do with it, if it is replaced with poisonous medicinal materials such as raw aconite, then our brand of Magnolia Hall will definitely be smashed in your hands, I want to practice medicine in the era of my Li family, I have to be your grandfather's true biography, why is it so unteachable in your generation, alas, evil!"

Following his words, I looked at the little boy, and for some reason I always felt that the aura he had just spoken to me was gone, and his expression was extremely sluggish, and I distinctly remembered that he had not been called in that way with that medicine. The little boy didn't reply, just glanced at the medicinal herbs on the counter, then looked at me and said, "My shopkeeper is back." ”

I hurriedly stepped forward, took out the letter from my arms, handed it to Li Houpu and said, "The little woman was introduced by the shopkeeper of the post station outside Yuhang City. ”

The shopkeeper took the letter and was silent before opening the envelope.

The letter was no more than a thin piece of paper, but the shopkeeper read it very slowly and earnestly, and after a while he looked up at me, and then carefully folded the letter and put it back in the envelope. After being silent for a while, he said, "Then you will stay in this medical hall to help me, but the remuneration must be made clear to you first, my brother said that you are helpless, then I will arrange for you to eat and lodging, but this month will deduct two dollars, and you will give you five dollars a month to see if it is feasible?"

I heard that food and housing have been settled, and I don't care about the monthly money, so I immediately thanked: "Of course it is possible, thank you for taking it in." ”
