139 There is no danger in front of the Qi family pharmacy
In an instant, Yao Tiantian thought a lot, but this Qi family pharmacy was a must-go. She followed her uncle's finger and pretended to be very embarrassed and asked, "Then, that Ren Ji is far away from here."
"Renji is not close to here, and it will take about an hour to walk from here." Uncle Passers-by was very familiar with Ning County, and said without thinking about it.
"We still want to buy some Chuanxiong powder to go home, since the Qi family pharmacy is in front, let's buy this first and go to Renji, uncle, this is no problem, right?" Yao Tiantian's big eyes rolled around, and he thought of a good rhetoric, and asked for advice humbly like a child who had no idea.
"That's fine, but ......" Uncle Passers-by looked up and down at Yao Tiantian and Hu Niu's standard dresses as medicine pickers, and said with some concern, "However, you are dressed like this, I'm afraid it will arouse the suspicion of the poor masters." ”
"Ah, what can we do, if we toss back and forth like this, we won't be able to go back today. Poor little mushroom head is going hungry. Yao Tiantian pretended to be anxious and turned around a few times, but the rest of her eyes were secretly looking at the look on the face of the kind passer-by.
Sure enough, seeing Yao Tiantian's anxious appearance, a trace of emotion appeared on the face of the kind-hearted passer-by, he thought for a while, and said, "That's it, my Lao Zhou also went to the Qi family pharmacy to find Dr. Qi for a consultation, I am Dr. Qi's old sick number, and the poor men who are there also recognize me." You will follow me, and I will give you a circumstantial testimony to prove that you are going to buy medicine, not to sell it. ”
"But," Uncle Zhou, a kind passer-by, stared at Yao Tiantian's eyes and admonished, "Don't lie to me, you can leave as soon as you buy medicine, and don't mention selling medicine." Otherwise, not only will you hurt yourself, but I will also be unlucky. ”
"Thank you, Uncle Zhou, please rest assured, you help us so much, we can't make trouble for you." Yao Tiantian immediately responded sweetly.
"Okay, let's go." Uncle Zhou said the previous truth, and muttered in his mouth, "Since Dr. Qi said that the illness of the Seventh Lady of the Niu family can be cured, his fame is much better than before, and there is an endless stream of patients who come to him every day. ”
Yao Tiantian pulled the tiger girl with her mouth closed next to her, and motioned for her to follow Uncle Zhou's steps, while she herself quietly lagged behind, quietly took out the four-leaf ginseng in the bag, and hid it in her sleeve, and then quickly caught up with the tiger girl and Uncle Zhou, and walked with them in the direction of the Qijia pharmacy.
After walking for a while, there seemed to be a vague fragrance of medicine in the air, making Yao Tiantian feel in a trance that it seemed that there was a large expanse of endless green medicine in the Dora Illusory Realm.
At this time, Yao Tiantian followed Uncle Zhou around the corner, and sure enough, from a distance, he saw a pharmacy not far in front of him, and there was a long queue in front of the pharmacy, and there was a servant wearing black clothes and waist knives next to him.
"Oh, it's still too late." Uncle Zhou muttered in annoyance, sped up his steps with force, and walked towards the end of the long line.
Uncle Zhou quickened his pace, and Yao Tiantian and Hu Niu also quickly followed. However, the official on the side waved his unsheathed knife and stopped them, "You two stop, what are you doing here?" ”
While talking, the officer turned back to the little leader-like man and shouted, "Head, here are two more who are not afraid of death." ”
"Hey, I said that I know that the Niu family is the richest man in our Ning County, and he must be very generous. Although the county master Sun Da has repeatedly been strictly ordered, in front of the white flowers, these people are not afraid of death. Yesterday, we sent twelve batches to find Dr. Qi to identify medicinal materials, and this is the fifth batch this morning, right? An errand officer next to him looked at the clothes of the medicine picking boy on Yao Tiantian and Hu Niu, and said casually as if he were joking.
"I, we're here to buy medicinal herbs." Yao Tiantian pretended to be scared, flinched, took two steps back, avoided the officer's knife, pointed to Uncle Zhou in front of him and said, "We followed Uncle Zhou to buy medicine." ”
Ever since the county magistrate of Ning County announced that pharmacies were not allowed to buy medicinal materials without permission, the officials in the county government have been busy, busy walking around the various pharmacies, specifically catching those who want to secretly sell medicinal materials directly to the pharmacies.
A few days ago, something strange happened to the Niu family, and the owner of the Qi family's pharmacy diagnosed the seventh lady of the Niu family with a strange disease, so the young master who had come to Niu had no milk to drink. Since the news came out, those who had been honest for a long time were ready to move again, and one by one they secretly came to the Qi family pharmacy to find Dr. Qi to identify the medicinal materials in their hands, hoping to have a relationship with the Niu family and climb to the sky in one step.
So, the officials who had just been idle for a few days became busy again, and they almost became the bodyguards outside the Qi family's pharmacy, catching those medicine pickers who tried their best to buy medicine here from morning to night.
However, due to the relationship between the old doctor Qi and the richest man, Mr. Niu, these uncle-like servants did not dare to mess too much, and every day they stopped people outside the Qi family pharmacy against the sun, and did not dare to go to the pharmacy to be indiscriminate.
Therefore, after listening to Yao Tiantian's words, the officials who had been holding back the fire immediately laughed loudly, "Haha, haha, it's really funny, you yourself are picking medicine, and you said that you came to buy medicine?" You have to find a good reason to tell a lie! ”
"I, I'm not here to sell medicine," Yao Tiantian said, taking the initiative to take off the small burden on her shoulders and gently throw it on the ground. Then she squatted down, untied her baggage, showed some mushrooms and other mountain goods to the servants one by one, and said aggrievedly, "We are here to buy medicine, and Uncle Zhou can testify for us." ”
Uncle Zhou, who had already lined up in line, heard the laughter of the errands, and remembered that he still had two medicine picking boys, he hurriedly turned around, and after seeing that Yao Tiantian's baggage was indeed only some ordinary mountain goods, the look on his face was stunned, and he finally completely relieved himself.
"Alas, everyone, it's good, this child has no father, this time he really came to the pharmacy to grab medicine." Uncle Zhou pleaded loudly to one of the best-looking servants.
Seeing that Yao Tiantian and the others really didn't bring any strange medicinal materials, and the Zhou Sick Yangzi they saw almost every day came forward to testify to them, the servants finally put away the knives in their hands, and scolded them dissatisfiedly, "You are selling medicine, what kind of clothes are you wearing as a medicine picker?" Isn't that self-inflicted! ”
"This child has no teaching from his father, and he hasn't been in our city for more than half a year, and he doesn't know the new rules of the county lord, so he came in this dress. They were all raised by their mothers' fathers, so I beg the poor men to be kind and let these two poor children go. Uncle Zhou asked Yao Tiantian and the two to intercede, and after he finished speaking, he bowed to the group of officials.
"Forget it, forget it!" The little leader of the servant waved his hand impatiently, and said loudly, "Master is in a good mood today, don't worry about you two hairy girls." However, if you dare to play any tricks under the nose of the master, don't blame the master for counting the crimes and punishing you! ”
Wow, that's majestic! Yao Tiantian secretly disdainfully quenched these officials in her heart, she also encountered the law enforcement of small merchants and hawkers by the chengguan in another time and space, although the attitude was bad and the methods were also very tough, but those chengguan were still under the guise of maintaining urban security and the appearance of the city.
However, now these errand servants are just relying on the words of the county lord, for the vested interests of their small number of people, they can ignore the normal life of ordinary people like this, they are not more shameless than the urban management of that world, and the Sun County Order, who connived at this group of bold officials, can imagine what kind of person he is.
Yao Tiantian was distracted for a while, and the tiger girl who had never seen this formation was stunned, Uncle Zhou hurriedly said humbly, "Thank you, thank you." As he spoke, he pulled Yao Tiantian and Hu Niu, who were still stunned, and reminded with laughter, "What are you still doing in a daze?" Don't come over to thank the poor master, hurry up and line up! ”
After Uncle Zhou's reminder, Yao Tiantian came to her senses, although she vomited badly in her heart, but in the face of the errand with a knife, she also knew that she couldn't resist, so she quickly pulled the trembling tiger girl, bent down with Uncle Zhou, and humbly said, "Thank you, thank you." ”
After saying this, Yao Tiantian and Hu Niu hurriedly packed up their little baggage, escaped from the group of fierce and vicious servants, and walked towards the end of the line of people waiting to see a doctor.
However, before they could reach the end of the line, they heard a sudden greeting from behind them, "Hey, those two medicine pickers, stop." ”
Broken! Yao Tiantian's brain buzzed, could it be that they found the four-leaf ginseng they had hidden in their sleeves? But it's a good way to cover it up? And it doesn't look like the tone of the speaker. What else could it be? After a few quick turns in her mind, Yao Tiantian stopped, the more panicked she was at this time, the easier it was to mess up, and she was found by others.
Yao Tiantian stabilized herself, turned around apprehensively, and looked at the source of the voice, only to find that it was not any of the group of officials who shouted, but a little medicine boy who came out of the Qi family's pharmacy.
The little medicine boy stood on the steps of his house, pointed at Yao Tiantian and Hu Niu, and said loudly, "My husband asked me to ask you, since you are a medicine picker, can you boil medicine?" Mr. said that there are many people here today, and I am afraid that the medicine will not be able to boil out, so I would like to ask you to come in and help. ”
It's really hard to find nowhere to step on the iron shoes, and it takes no effort to get there! At this time, their Qi family pharmacy was looking for a helper to boil medicine, which meant that as long as she agreed, she didn't need to wait in a long queue to see the famous Dr. Qi.
Realizing this, Yao Tiantian's heart fluttered, and she hurriedly agreed, "Yes, yes, we will." ”
