times rì early in the morning.

Zhao Zheng finished washing up and stood at the table, staring at the oil lamp on the table. The oil inside the lamp had been depleted, and the wick had become crumpled, lying there like a corpse. The oil lamp reminded him of the old saying that the oil runs out of the lamp, and at the same time reminded him of Qian Chong, who died last night.

Qian Chong died, his life came to an end, and a series of events finally settled and had a result.

He was quite satisfied with this result, and the moment Qian Chong died, his hatred, disgust and other emotions for Qian Chong dissipated without a trace, and a knot in his heart was unraveled, and he felt a lot more comfortable.

During the vicious battle with Qian Chong, everything happened too fast, too suddenly, Zhao Zheng didn't have time to think about it at all, and only afterwards did he free his mind and recall everything that happened at that time. At first, he thought that killing people would be a very difficult thing, but after he actually started it, he found that once he put himself in that kind of life-and-death situation, killing people is not a difficult task, and his body will act according to that kind of winning heart, becoming crisp, neat, and decisive.

Regarding Qian Chong's matter, there is no need to think about it in the future, Zhao Zheng shifted his mind to another thing that he came to Qibao County this time, that is, to purchase the medicinal materials needed to refine the Tiger Bone Pill.

To refine the Tiger Bone Pill, a total of thirteen medicinal materials are required, among which the tiger bone is the most expensive, and the rest of the medicinal materials are ordinary and worthless. In order to prevent the prescription from leaking, Zhao Zheng planned to act safely and go to two herb shops to buy it separately, and only buy half of the herbs in the prescription at a time, so that the medicine seller would not be able to know his prescription.

Purchasing medicinal materials is as inconvenient as killing Qian Chong to let Shen Luoxia know, so it is still necessary to hide it from Shen Luoxia, Zhao Zheng thought for a while, and came up with an excuse to act separately from Shen Luoxia. He said that he would do it, and while Shen Luoxia and Li Zhenzhen had not yet gotten up, he left the room, found the fat shopkeeper of the inn, and deliberately asked the fat shopkeeper to take a game of chess and play chess with him.

The fat shopkeeper was calculating his bad debts, and he didn't want to play chess with Zhao Zheng, but he took Zhao Zheng's money and couldn't save face, so he could only play obediently.

Zhao Zheng pestered the fat shopkeeper to play chess, and this time it was a morning, until Shen Luoxia and Li Zhenzhen got up.

After the three of them finished eating, Zhao Zheng lied that he was in high interest in playing chess, and he didn't plan to go out today, and he wanted to continue to stay in the inn to play chess with the fat shopkeeper. Shen Luoxia agreed to this matter after hearing this, because she was going to take two more shop juniors back today, which was a very boring thing, and there was no need to take Zhao Zheng with her.

Shen Luoxia and Li Zhenzhen went out and left Zhao Zheng alone in the inn.

Zhao Zheng played two more games of chess with the fat shopkeeper, passed the time, and after feeling that Shen Luoxia and the others had gone away, they pushed the chessboard where the victory had been decided and left the inn. He had walked around Qibao County, and since he had seen the game map of Qibao County before, he had already figured out the location of several medicinal herb shops, and he could find them without asking anyone.

He first went to an ordinary medicinal herb shop and bought half of the medicinal herbs, the number of copies he bought was not much, it was enough to refine five parts of the Tiger Bone Pill, not that he didn't want to buy more, but he couldn't afford it. He only had two hundred taels of silver left in his hand, which was enough to buy five medicinal herbs.

After the transaction, he asked the guy at the medicine shop if there were any alchemy books to sell to him, and the guy went back to the back room to ask the shopkeeper, and came back to explain that there was no, which made him feel a little disappointed.

Leaving the herb shop, Zhao Zheng carried a few large bags of medicinal herbs with a strong and strange taste into the small alley, found a place where no one was, and stuffed all the medicinal herbs into the system warehouse, saving him the trouble of carrying them back and forth. He dusted his hands and headed straight to the next place to buy medicine.

This time, instead of going to the ordinary herb shop, he went to Daxing Street, planning to go to the Hui Chūn Medical Center on that street to have a look.

There are a total of two tasks that can be completed in the chūn medical hall, one of the two tasks is a trigger task, which can be taken at any time, as long as the strength is enough, and the other is an important major event task, which can only be taken at a fixed time. Zhao Zheng can't take these two tasks for the time being, and this time he went to get acquainted with his face first, so that he could do things in the future.

Before Zhao Zheng came to Daxing Street, he thought that this place would be affected by the death of Qian Chong, but when he arrived here, he found that everything on the street was as usual, with pedestrians and cars and horses, no different from usual. On the street, only the money house is a little different from usual, the courtyard door is open, the two sides of the door are hung with couplets, and sometimes there are people wearing linen and filial piety in and out.

It seems that the death of a fast catcher is not a big deal for Qibao County, and it is not enough to have much impact. Qian Chong did a lot of evil before his death, and his identity was a quick catch, he provoked many enemies, and there were so many people who wanted to kill him that no one would suspect Zhao Zheng.

Zhao Zheng stopped and looked at it for a few moments, then withdrew his gaze and strode back to the Chūn Medical Center.

In front of the door of the Hui Chūn Medical Center, a simple plaque is hung, and on both sides of the door is written a couplet "Why should I not grow old for a thousand years, but ask people not to be sick" to express the heart of hanging the pot to help the world. There are only four people in the house, two of whom are patients, and two of whom are doctors.

There are two doctors who return to the Chūn medical center, one is the old one and the other is the younger, the old one is the grandfather, and the younger one is the granddaughter, the age difference between the two is huge, and I don't know where the girl's parents have gone. The old doctor is the attending doctor here, with a white beard sprinkled all over his chest, which feels like a fairy wind and bones. The young granddaughter is quite gentle, with fair skin, slender eyelashes, and a very pointed chin, although her appearance is not as good as Shen Luoxia, let alone Li Zhenzhen, but she is definitely a beauty.

In the game, the grandparents and granddaughters are called Lin Jiyuan and Lin Zhong'er respectively, and they must be the same in this world.

When Zhao Zheng entered the house, he was catching up with Lin Zhong'er to climb high to get medicine, probably because of his slippery hand, the medicine bag in Lin Zhong'er's hand suddenly fell down. Zhao Zheng was closer, and the conditions were reversed, so he flashed to the medicine cabinet, grabbed the medicine bag, and copied it in his hand.

"Thank you." Lin Zhong'er stepped on the high ladder and thanked Zhao Zheng below.

"You're welcome." Zhao Zheng raised his head and smiled at Lin Zhong'er, paced to the counter, and put the medicine bag on it.

After the first two patients finished grabbing the medicine and left, Zhao Zheng stepped forward to talk to Lin Jiyuan, took out half of the prescription written in advance, and handed it to Lin Jiyuan.

"Doctor, I want to catch five pairs of medicines according to this prescription." Zhao Zhengdao.

Lin Jiyuan picked up the prescription and glanced at it twice, his pale eyebrows raised slightly, sat in place, raised his eyes and looked at Zhao Zheng and asked, "Where did you get this prescription?" What disease is it intended to be used for? ”

"Doctor, I'm really sorry, it's inconvenient for me to confide in outsiders about these things." Zhao Zheng bluntly refused.

"Since you don't want to say it, forget it. Judging from this prescription, they are all tonic medicines that relax the muscles and invigorate the blood, and there are expensive tiger bones, which are probably reserved for the martial artists. If an ordinary person takes these medicines, they will definitely be weak and unable to replenish them, causing the yang fire to rush to the top, and you should write this down so as not to give people a problem. Lin Jiyuan turned his head to look at his granddaughter and ordered, "Zhong'er, you go and grab the medicine prescription, a total of five copies." ”

"Yes." Lin Zhong'er complied with the answer and left with the prescription.

Taking advantage of Lin Zhong'er's efforts to grasp the medicine, Zhao Zheng accosted Lin Jiyuan and asked, "Doctor, I don't know if you have a book on alchemy in your hand?" You don't need a book that is too esoteric, as long as it's an introductory one. ”

"I've been studying medicine for many years, so of course I have this kind of book in my hand." Lin Ji came from afar.

"It's great if you have, I wonder if you can sell me a copy?"

"I'm a place to sell medicines, not books, so how can I sell medicine books casually, no, no." Lin Jiyuan shook his head, and his mouth full of white beard shook with it.

"The shop is dead, the people are alive, and I hope the old gentleman will be accommodating, I really need this kind of book urgently, and I can't find any good place to buy it for a while." Zhao Zheng said earnestly.

"The medicinal materials you came to buy this time are all suitable for alchemy, and you want to ask me to buy alchemy books, do you want to learn the way of alchemy?"

"Exactly." Zhao Zheng saw that his purpose had been recognized, and Suo Xìng admitted it calmly.

"One more doctor in this world is one less patient, I also hope that there are more people in the world who understand medical skills, and it is not impossible for me to sell you the book that records the method of alchemy, but I only have one copy of "Hug Puzi" in my hand now, if I sell it to you, I will not have it myself. It's better like this, I'll find time to copy a copy of this "Hug Puzi" in my hand, you come over again later, I'll sell you the manuscript, what do you think? ”

In the game, there is also the book "Hug Puzi", which is an introductory book for alchemy skills, which just meets Zhao Zheng's current needs. He was overjoyed in his heart, and thanked Lin Jiyuan: "This is very good, within half a month, I will definitely visit again." ”

Lin Jiyuan nodded and stroked Bai Huahua's beard a few times.

Zhao Zheng saw that he was idle, and asked Lin Jiyuan for knowledge about alchemy, and Lin Jiyuan thought that he was a guest, and answered one by one, without prevarication.

After a while, Lin Zhong'er grabbed all the medicine and sent it over. Zhao Zheng paid the money, spent all the savings on his body, and then left with a few large bags of medicinal herbs. After he returned to the Chūn Medical Center, he repeated his old tricks and found another place to stuff all the medicinal materials into the system warehouse. This function of the system is so convenient that it saves him a lot of trouble.

Zhao Zheng did the two things he wanted to do when he came to Qibao County, and he wanted to return to the inn, but when he was halfway there, he suddenly remembered something. At the beginning, he had promised Ma An that when the matter was over, he would tell Ma An his name, and if he left like this, it would be a little unbeautiful. He touched the rattle he was carrying in his arms, changed direction halfway, walked to the slum area of Qibao County, and came to Ma An's house.

With the door closed, Ma An and his mother were weaving baskets, and the five-year-old girl was playing and laughing. It seems that Ma An listened to Zhao Zheng's words and stopped letting his daughter do rough work.

Zhao Zheng stood outside the courtyard, looked at the family through the gap in the wall, then took out the rattle from his arms, found a stone on the ground, carved his name on the handle of the rattle, and placed it in front of Ma An's house. He didn't disturb Ma'an's family, left silently, and returned to the inn.

In the next two days, Zhao Zheng did not walk around, stayed by Shen Luoxia's side, and helped Shen Luoxia find time to teach the two new buddies some things about the inn. Two days later, the clothes from the tailor's shop were ready, and Zhao Zheng and others went to pick up the clothes and rushed back to the Hongchen Inn in a carriage. Li Zhenzhen was a big idler and didn't have a clear goal, so she went with her.
