Chapter 61: The Third Fireworks

Jiang Chuge's pace quickened, and soon, the scene in the courtyard in front of the back hall came into view.

In the courtyard, there is a long bar table, which is filled with all kinds of chicken, duck, fish, meat, fruits and snacks.

And in each of the four corners of the courtyard there is a large brazier.

Even though Jiang Chuge was far away and her body had felt a burst of warmth, her heart was cold.

Zhumen's wine and meat stink, and there are frozen bones on the road!

The hands in her sleeves clenched, and her eyes were full of anger reflecting the scene in front of her.

I saw the county official with a fat head and big ears, and a black gauze hat on his head falling to the ground, with a silk scarf on his eyes, playing and scolding with three young women who had little clothes on their bodies and almost exposed.

More than 20 officials stood beside the four braziers, preventing the blindfolded fat-headed pig from hitting the brazier, and at the same time, they admired the extravagant and vulgar scene in front of them with great interest.

Seeing that the officials surrounded the three of them because of the words of the fat-headed pig, Xiao Qi took a step forward and blocked Jiang Chuge in front of him, his handsome face was full of ferocity, and his eyes narrowed dangerously, like a wild leopard about to hunt.

"Xiao Qi, step aside!"

Jiang Chuge spoke in a deep voice.

Any major disturbance at this time will adversely affect their subsequent actions.

"Yes, Gongzi Jiang."

Seeing Jiang Chuge speak, Xiao Qi responded and retreated to the position where Fang Cai was standing, but the whole person was still on alert.

Jiang Chuge pondered in his heart, and soon had a way to deal with it.

She smiled aloud, and said from the fat-headed, big-eared, pig-like county order: "Seeing that you are so heroic and impressive, you must be the county commander of Qingquan County." ”

"Ahem~ It's natural!"

Seeing that the little boy on the opposite side praised himself as soon as he opened his mouth, and his words were extremely pleasant, this confused county commander hurriedly picked up the black gauze hat that fell to the ground and put it on the top of his head.

Then he coughed lightly, raised his chest up, straightened his clothes, and pretended to be heroic and elegant: "For the sake of you telling the truth, this official will forgive you for the crime of trespassing on the mansion...... Why did the three of you come here? ”

"Returning to my lordship, the grass people are perennial doctors in the Qianzhou area to practice medicine and ask questions, I heard that the people in Lizhou have a strange disease, and I specially led two servants to come here thousands of miles to help the adults overcome the strange diseases and make great contributions to the imperial court...... At that time, I hope that adults will be able to enjoy their meals. ”

In order to increase the credibility of his words, Jiang Chuge deliberately added the last half of the sentence, showing a greedy look on his face.

Make contributions!

"Well, if you can really solve this plague...... Strange disease, this official will not lose your benefits. ”

The county order was moved by Jiang Chuge's words, and agreed with the mentality of a dead horse being a live horse doctor.

"In this way, the grass people thanked the adults first."

Jiang Chuge endured the disgusting in his heart, and once again made a move, as if he was respectful and pious to worship this confused county order as a god.

Jiang Chuge and the county order went back and forth, and the county order promised to satisfy Jiang Chuge in medicine, and Jiang Chuge took Xiao Qi and the others away.

Coming out of the mansion, the three of them put on masks and gloves again, and as soon as they walked into a dark alley, Xiao Qi couldn't help but ask.

"Miss Jiang, why are you so polite to that dog official? Let's just take out the token, and when we give an order, he will not dare to disobey. ”

In Xiao Qi's opinion, Jiang Chuge was so low and small, it was all useless.

Xiao Qi's voice full of wonder came into Jiang Chuge's ears, and Jiang Chuge couldn't help but suspect that Xiao Qi was not simple, but really stupid.

"Alas~"

She glanced at You, who was silent and habitually released cold air, shook her head, and sighed helplessly.

"The purpose of our early visit is to secretly investigate, if our identities are exposed, it will be difficult to find useful clues, and the pain of running around for days will be in vain."

She knows some basic anti-epidemic measures, so she can wait for an opportunity to collect evidence while distributing medicines to the people.

When these words came into his ears, Xiao Qi suddenly realized, habitually reached out and scratched the back of his head, and said with a stupid smile: "It's still Miss Jiang, you are thoughtful." ”

"Hehe~"

Jiang Chuge smiled bitterly, this is because she is thoughtful, it is clear that Xiao Qi is so simple that she is stupid.

"Let's go, let's find an inn to rest first, and then wait for the opportunity to visit."

At this time, it was already afternoon, and Jiang Chuge and the three of them wandered around the city for a while, and finally found an inn with acceptable conditions.

If Jiang Chuge is not picky, if he really wants to save the people of Lizhou, they must first protect themselves and ensure that they will not be infected with the plague before they can have the spare energy to implement the plan.

After the three of them had lunch, they inquired all the way and found the largest pharmacy in the county, Ren'an Hall.

The hall was crowded with people, and all kinds of wailing and noise were endless.

Burning incense in the pharmacy has a preventive and suppressive effect on epidemics, but the smell is quite choking.

The guy in charge of the medicine and the doctor who saw the doctor all wore masks and wore large white aprons around their waists.

Not far from them, there was a pot of medicinal wine soaked in medicinal herbs.

After each pair of medicines or a patient, they wash their hands before serving the next patient.

Jiang Chuge endured the discomfort in his throat caused by this choking incense, stepped inside, walked to a guy who was grabbing medicine at the counter, and asked: "Little brother, I have inquired all the way here, and I heard that since the outbreak of the plague, your pharmacy has converted half of the money you earn into medicine every day and distributed it to the people who have no money to see a doctor. I have a lot of admiration for this kind act of your shopkeeper, I wonder if you may recommend it on your behalf? ”

"No, no, our shopkeeper is busy. Listening to Gongzi's accent, he is a foreigner, most of the people in Qingquan County are infected with dysentery, so it is better for you to leave as soon as possible. ”

The guy was a young man, busy spinning around like a spinning top, constantly grabbing the medicine in front of a large row of medicine cabinets behind him.

Hearing Jiang Chuge say this, he directly refused her request to meet with the shopkeeper.

Jiang Chuge was not annoyed by the rejection, a smile appeared on his face that was blocked by the mask, and said again: "Little brother, your shopkeeper gives medicinal materials like this every day, there must be a certain difficulty in purchasing medicinal materials." It just so happens that I am a medicinal herb business, if you can introduce me to your shopkeeper, maybe you can solve your shopkeeper's troubles. ”

Before rushing to Lizhou, Jiang Chuge inquired along the way about the counties that were close to Lizhou and had a large supply of medicinal materials.

It is known that Fukang County, which is more than 80 miles away, is the most common place for pharmacy managers in Lizhou.

After the outbreak of the plague in Lizhou, most of the suppliers were worried about contracting the plague and stopped cooperating with pharmacies in Lizhou.

In the past, the suppliers of medicinal materials who had not cooperated with the pharmacies in Lizhou resolutely refused to cooperate.

Today, the number of merchants who are still willing to provide medicinal materials to pharmacies in Lizhou's jurisdiction is less than one-tenth of what it used to be.

With so many patients in the temple, a large number of medicinal herbs will be consumed, along with the daily almsgiving.

The shopkeeper who hasn't met yet, even if he has the ability, will feel anxious at this time, right?

Hearing this, Jiang Chuge bowed slightly.

The guy walked out of the counter and led the way for Jiang Chuge and the three of them in front.

After a while, Jiang Chuge and the three of them came to the backyard of the pharmacy under the guidance of this guy.

After walking through the corridor, rockery, and flower garden for a while, the four of them stood in front of a small courtyard called Renji Garden.

"Since the outbreak of the plague, our shopkeeper has either been out and about buying medicinal herbs, or studying in this small courtyard, trying to find a cure for the plague."

The man stood in front of the small courtyard gate, looking through the open courtyard door at the herbs full of herbs, and his voice was full of respect.

"Your shopkeeper is indeed a good man, and he will be rewarded."

Jiang Chuge was moved in his heart, and couldn't help but respect this shopkeeper who had never met him.

"I'll bring a few in."

The guy glanced at Jiang Chuge and walked in front.

Jiang Chuge was about to take a step, but Yu suddenly approached her and whispered: "The person inside should be a master of the house." ”

"Hmm."

Jiang Chuge was full of doubts in his heart, nodded his head without a trace, and still chose to step inside.

Seeing this, Yu and Xiao Qi followed.

After entering the courtyard and walking along the stone path to the right front, a gazebo suddenly appeared in front of me.

There are several shelves with compartments in the gazebo, and on each floor there is a dustpan containing many medicinal herbs.

Next to the shelf was a long table with tools for grinding and cutting herbs, and three stoves.

Above each stove was a ceramic pot, two of which were boiling with medicine.

The white mist-like heat rose and swirled in the pavilion, setting off the white shadow who was busy by the fire, like a beautiful and melancholy ethereal fairy in the sea of clouds, mountains and fog above the nine heavens.

Have the blues?

Jiang Chuge's heart was shocked, how could she have such a perception of the person she met for the first time and was only a back?

Jiang Chuge was puzzled, and the man bent down towards the white shadow in the pavilion and arched his hand.

"White shopkeeper, this son is a ...... in the medicinal herb business"

"I already know about this, so you can step down."

The woman's indifferent and ethereal voice sounded, and the man retreated.

The moment the guy stepped out of the gate of the small courtyard, she slowly turned around under Jiang Chuge's gaze.

The woman is dressed in white, with a slender figure, a beautiful face, and a dusty temperament, like a hollow valley.

It's just that between the good-looking eyebrows and eyes, there seems to contain a bit of grief and sorrow.

Facing such a beautiful but sad woman, Jiang Chuge was stunned for a while.

"Ahem~"

Sensing Jiang Chuge's gaffe, he coughed lightly and summoned her back to her senses.

Jiang Chuge showed a slight embarrassment on her face, and was about to open her mouth to introduce herself, but the woman in white raised her hand slightly to stop her.

"I have heard the name of Miss Jiang for a long time, but when I see it today, it is different from ordinary women......"

The woman in white had said this, obviously she had something to say, but she didn't continue.

Jiang Chuge frowned slightly, had doubts, and was about to ask, but the woman in white took a step ahead of her and said: "My surname is Bai Qingqing, this Ren'an Hall is not owned by me, I am just taking care of an old man." Whether Miss Jiang wants to cooperate with the pharmacy or wants me to collect the evidence of the dog's county order for you, I can agree. ”

"So, I don't know what the white shopkeeper wants to exchange?"

"I suffer from heart disease, in the whole world, only the boy in white can relieve and heal my pain, if possible, I hope Miss Jiang ...... Able to refer on behalf of you. ”

When he said this, Bai Qingqing's words were full of bitterness, and Jiang Chuge vaguely felt that something was wrong, but he couldn't understand it for a while.

After staying in this world for more than half a year, Jiang Chuge knew very well that the white-clothed man in the mouth of the white shopkeeper was referring to the world's unparalleled man with the reputation of "miracle doctor".

Quickly recalled several contacts with the world in his mind, Jiang Chuge deeply felt that although the world was cold and indifferent, he was by no means a person who was not easy to get along with.

If she sincerely invited, he would agree to treat the heart disease of the white shopkeeper in front of him.

"Okay, I will definitely do my best to invite the next world peerless to treat you."

Jiang Chuge nodded in agreement.

When these words came into his ears, Bai Qingqing's body stiffened for a moment, and his face was in a trance, as if he had fallen into some kind of memory.

It took a long time before he came to his senses.

"Thank you, Miss Jiang."

Bai Qingqing pulled out a reluctant smile.

Feeling her sadness and sorrow, some of Jiang Chuge's thoughts that flashed in his mind before gradually became clear.
