Jing Xi didn't bother to answer Sixi's question: "When was this letter delivered?" ”

Sixi thought for a while: "It was about half a month ago." ”

"It's been so long."

Sixi rarely saw his master look so worried and anxious, and opened his mouth cautiously again:

"Master, what the hell is going on?"

Jing Xi's tone was solemn: "The medicine that I developed with Pharmacist Fang a few months ago was destroyed on the way to the Qi army. ”

"Huh?" Most of Jingxi's affairs were not hidden from Sixi, and Sixi also knew the seriousness of this matter, "Isn't that a life-saving medicine for border soldiers, why was it ruined by someone?" Master, you've put a lot of thought into this medicine. ”

Jing Xi shook his head: "I don't know, Murong Gongzi didn't say much in the letter. ”

Jing Xi glanced at the letter whose handwriting was already blurred, and suddenly became puzzled: "By the way, you said that these two letters were sent by the same messenger?" ”

"Yes, it's always the same person, and it's because of his sloppiness that he missed a letter. Is there something wrong with this person? ”

"It's not." Jing Xi shook his head, and then stared at his eyebrows.

It stands to reason that the destruction of such an important medicine should be a very urgent matter, but why did Dr. Jiang still use an ordinary messenger when sending letters?

He didn't rush it, it doesn't make sense.

Unless they can solve it, or have solved it.

After the medicine was ready, it was the pharmacist who was responsible for contacting Dr. Jiang, and the matter of transportation had always been the pharmacist in contact with the army.

And a month ago, she and Fang Duruo traveled together.

Perhaps during this period, the herbacist had already gotten the news, and it is not known.

Thinking of this, Jing Xi decided to go to the county seat tomorrow to find a pharmacist.

……

The pharmacist was introduced to Jing Xi by Dr. Jiang.

After returning from the barracks, Jing Xi has maintained correspondence with Dr. Jiang.

Before Sheng Ting returned from reinstating his identity, Dr. Jiang asked Jing Xi for advice on some surgical medical problems and some incurable diseases in his letters.

However, after Sheng Ting returned to the barracks, that is, after Jing Xi and Sheng Ting reconciled, Dr. Jiang suddenly made an invitation to Jing Xi.

Invite her to work together to develop a finished medicine.

Proprietary medicine refers to ready-made medicines made from Chinese herbal medicines according to certain therapeutic principles and can be used at any time, such as various pills, powders, granules, etc.

This is much more convenient than ordinary Chinese medicine decoction, and it is also very convenient for soldiers to carry and use on the way to the march.

Jing Xi was very interested in Dr. Jiang's proposal.

This is a very beneficial thing for both the military and the people.

Dr. Jiang even hopes to be able to 'fight side by side' with her.

But there are auspicious clouds in Lotus Village and the nest of the Jing family, and Jing Xi does not plan to leave here for the time being.

So Dr. Jiang introduced the aromatic pharmacist in the same county to Jing Xi.

Pharmacist Fang used to be a doctor, but later due to the injury of his hands, it affected the pulse incision, and since then he no longer sits in the hall, but concentrates on making medicinal materials.

His only daughter, Fang Duruo, also learned from him the ability to identify medicinal herbs and specialized in the medicinal herb business.

But the Fang family is different from ordinary merchants, they are also military households.

Although they also trade with ordinary merchants, such as pharmacies and medical halls, they mainly provide medicinal materials for the Qi army.

So their shop is very small and very hidden.

This is not the first time Xiangyun has come.

Don't look at his young age, but he has a good memory.

In the winding alley, he actually came first by himself.

The door of Fang's house was ajar, and Xiangyun stood at the door and shouted 'Uncle Fang' twice

Fang Duruo, who was dressed in men's clothes, walked out of it, and when she came out, she had an apron tied to her body, with a strong smell of medicine on her body, and she was probably concocting medicinal materials just now.

"Why are you here?" Fang Duruo looked at Jing Xi with some surprise.

Jing Xi smiled at her: "It's inconvenient here, let's go in and talk." ”

……

Fang Duruo asked her little husband to take Xiangyun out to play, and she washed her hands and made a pot of tea for Jingxi.

Jing Xi took a sip of the tea gently: "What about the pharmacist, why didn't you see him?" ”

"You don't know, my dad left home about half a month ago. Is there anything urgent about you looking for him? ”

Jing Xi directly handed over Dr. Jiang's letter: "Look at it." ”

Fang Duruo took the letter and quickly glanced at it: "It seems that you have also received the news." That's right, my dad left home because of this. ”

"He should have gotten the news earlier than you, so he hurriedly used the remaining medicinal materials to make a batch of medicines and personally sent them to the border gate."

"The rest of the herbs?" Jing Xi frowned, "The other medicines are fine, but I remember that there is not much left of Toad Crisp." To treat tetanus, this herb is a top priority. ”

Toad crisp is the secretion of the posterior ear gland and epidermal gland of the toad, white milky liquid or light yellow liquid, toxic, can also detoxify and reduce swelling, anti-inflammatory and pain-relieving.

Among them, the venom of the toad king is the most effective, but it is expensive because it is difficult to collect.

The military funds of the Qi army have not been in place, and the batch of toad cakes raised before also took a lot of effort from Fang Duruo.

The collection and production of this flavor medicine is mainly concentrated in spring, summer and autumn, and now that the cold winter is coming, the toad has already entered the hole to hibernate, and it is even more difficult to collect it.

Fang Duruo was also worried about this matter.

"Actually, I came back last night and saw a letter from my dad, who asked me to find a way to buy some more toads. But this season, it's really hard. ”

"What then? Previously, we used most of the raw materials in the first batch of medicines. ”

Fang Duruo pinched his eyebrows: "I don't have a clue yet, I can try my luck in the north, but the border soldiers can't wait." ”

Jing Xi is also sad.

The days of traveling with Fang Duruo felt very fulfilling and comfortable, but also very hard.

Especially for some precious and dangerous medicinal materials, it is really difficult to go up the mountain to find and collect them by yourself without a budget and without receiving them.

So both of them are at a loss now.

It's just that when they were silently drinking tea, Xiangyun suddenly pushed the door and came in.

He giggled as he turned around and shouted, "Auntie, come after me, come after me." ”

Jing Xi looked at the auspicious clouds that suddenly broke into his sight, and his eyes suddenly lit up.

She looked at Fang Duruo happily: "Du Ruo, perhaps, we don't have to worry about medicinal herbs." ”

……

Sixi wore one after another for Xiangyun, and after thinking about it, he was ready to take off Xiangyun's jacket and add a vest inside.

Jing Xi hurriedly stopped her: "Okay, can you still move if you wear it like this?" ”

Sixi took the vest and compared it to Xiangyun: "Is it really not necessary?" It's going to be cold and cold in the mountains. ”

"You're about to wrap him in a ball."

Jing Xi hurriedly tied Xiangyun's clothes and squatted down in front of him: "Come up, my mother is carrying you." ”。

"I'll do it, you have thin arms and thin legs." Fang Duruo directly lifted Xiangyun up and sat on his neck.
