After waking up early that day, there were several unworthy young men outside the kitchen of the guest home. They are all accustomed to Shoko's cooking, and hope that when Shoko comes back to borrow the kitchen to make breakfast for his host, they can have another delicious meal.

However, this time the young men miscalculated, they waited until the sun was high, and they didn't see the figure of Xiangzi Ambassador Fu, but waited for their own master to scold, "What are these lazy and slippery little slippery heads hiding here?" Why don't you hurry up and get to work! ”

While the boys were still waiting outside the kitchen, Yao Tiantian had already taken the tiger girl to pretend to be a little boy who was picking medicine in the mountains and inquired all the way to the Qi family's old pharmacy.

The tiger girl tugged at the navy blue robe on her body, pouted and muttered, "This dress is so ugly, do we have to dress like this?" ”

"If you don't want to make a splash in front of the celebrities in the city for the first time, then you go and change your clothes, and I don't mind." Yao Tiantian touched the thick disguised makeup on her face, tightened the small burden on her body, and said deliberately lightly.

"Hey, for that day, I put up with it." Hu Niu whispered hatefully, and a trace of doubt flashed on her face, "But, why do we pretend to be little boys who collect medicine?" Do you have to wear such ugly clothes that don't distinguish between men and women? ”

"We're going to the pharmacy, and we don't want to show up as ladies from rich and noble families, so it's naturally the most suitable to dress up as a boy who picks medicine." Yao Tiantian said patiently, "Could it be that Sister Hu Niu wants to dress up as a poor patient, not only with tattered clothes, but also with a sallow face painted in color?" ”

"No, no, no" Hu Niu imagined the appearance of the poor mother-in-law going to seek medical treatment in a dirty body, and couldn't help but feel excited, waved her hands again and again, and said with satisfaction, "Let's be so good, very good." ”

Yao Tiantian looked at the tiger girl who was still entangled, and smiled softly, "Since you are satisfied with this dress, let's leave quickly, so as not to delay a good hour." ”

"Good hours?" The tangled look on Hu Niu's face let go a lot, and she turned to wonder, "We just pretended to be a medicine delivery and infiltrated the Qi family pharmacy, what time do we have to choose?" ”

Yao Tiantian raised her eyebrows, but sold a pass, "You'll know when the time comes." ”

Hu Niu was even more curious, but seeing Yao Tiantian's smile and speechlessness, she had to keep the doubt in her heart, and accelerated her pace with Yao Tiantian's pace.

Before, Xiangzi had told Yao Tiantian in detail the address of the Qi family pharmacy, Yao Tiantian and Hu Niu identified it all the way, and walked in the direction of the Qi family pharmacy.

"Look, it's Mao'er Hutong." Hu Niu has also learned a few words with Yao Tiantian these days, she looked at the few words she knew carved on the stone wall in front of her, and shouted out loudly.

"Yes, when I arrived at Mao'er Hutong, it was not far from the Qijia Pharmacy."

Yao Tiantian was also happy, in order not to attract the attention of others, they changed into the costume of the medicine picking boy, and it was naturally inconvenient to take the carriage. Before, she was worried that the distance was too far, and they would have to walk for a long time, but she didn't expect that it would only be half an hour, and it was about to arrive.

Yao Tiantian looked up at the morning sun, which was already bright and the east was red, and nodded with satisfaction about his itinerary, this time is just right.

Yao Tiantian stopped, and the tiger girl also stopped.

"Hmph" Just when Yao Tiantian and Hu Niu stopped, they heard a disdainful cold snort next to them. Immediately afterward, the voice muttered in a small tone, "Two more impatient and impatient ones." ”

Yao Tiantian turned her face, took a closer look, and found that it was an uncle with a somewhat dark face, looking up and down at their outfits, with a face full of disdain.

"You!" Hu Niu couldn't listen to other people's gossip, and when she turned her head, she was about to lash out at the uncle who was talking, but was stopped by Yao Tiantian raising her hand.

Yao Tiantian quietly changed positions with Hu Niu, and asked softly, "Uncle, let's test our strength and eyesight to eat in a down-to-earth manner, where is it boring to ask ourselves?" ”

Hearing Yao Tiantian's politeness, the passer-by raised his head and looked at her carefully, shook his head, and said regretfully, "Seeing that you are also a serious girl, how can your father and mother rest assured that you will do such a risky thing?" ”

"Adventure?" Uncle Passerby's words aroused Yao Tiantian's curiosity, she looked herself up and down again, there was nothing wrong, and she couldn't help but say strangely, "We are serious about picking and selling medicines, how can it be a risk?" ”

"Your adults didn't tell you?" Uncle Passerby shook his head regretfully again.

"I, my father and mother are gone." Yao Tiantian thought of Xiao Tianniu's parents who were burned to death in her home in the middle of the night, and couldn't help but have hot eyes, and tears swirled in her eye sockets.

"Don't cry, hey, little girl, don't cry" The passer-by uncle sighed softly, and quickly said, "Poor child, my father and mother are gone, no one cares." Come, uncle told you, you still quickly dispelled the idea of going to the Qi family pharmacy to sell medicine, how many people have been coaxed away these days, and some have been arrested by officials. You are so young, how good it is to collect medicine for a living, why do you always want to take shortcuts? ”

"Taking shortcuts?" The more Yao Tiantian listened, the more confused she became, they pretended to be children who picked medicine, and it was the most normal thing to go to the pharmacy to sell medicine, how could it become a shortcut to take a risk in the mouth of this kind uncle? The more she thought about it, the more she didn't understand, and her little brows furrowed together.

Seeing that Yao Tiantian still didn't understand, the passer-by uncle sighed again and whispered, "Hey, not only do you pick up medicine and don't understand, but I can't figure it out even uncle." This is good, why did the county lord make such a ban, it has been passed down from the elders, the medicine collector sells it to the medicine shop, and the doctor of the medicine store prescribes medicine to the patient, and there has never been any mistake. Why is it that now, the government says that some people sell counterfeit medicines, and they are not allowed to sell drugs privately, and pharmacies are not allowed to purchase medicinal materials by themselves, so they have to go to the places designated by the government to buy them? ”

After a pause, the passer-by uncle continued to shake his head, and said with a look of incomprehension, "This time, the result is good, the medicine pickers take the medicine and sell it to the government, no matter what medicine is weighed by the catty, they can't give a few dollars, and they take these cheap medicinal materials and immediately sell them to the pharmacy at a high price." As a result, the government stopped collecting medicines, and some small pharmacies that had no relationship and no access had no medicines available, and those big pharmacies had to increase the price under the pretext that the cost of purchasing medicinal materials was high. Hey, in the future, our little people will look down on the sick even more, let's ......"

Speaking of this, the passer-by uncle suddenly realized something, and quickly stopped his mouth, he raised his eyes and looked around, and saw that the people on the road did not notice them here, so he breathed a sigh of relief, but he did not dare to continue the topic just now, but kindly persuaded "In the future, you will take the medicine and send it to the county government for inspection, and sell it to the place they designate, the Qi family pharmacy does not have this qualification, and they dare not accept your medicinal materials privately." ”

This is the monopoly of Hongguoguo, Nima's, there are many such things in Yao Tiantian's era of another time and space, some industries are monopolized by large multinational enterprises, and some are simply monopolized by the government, in the most democratic Western countries, there are anti-monopoly laws, and lawsuits about monopoly will always pop up after a while, entangled and mutually extricalted.

Yao Tiantian has not been exposed to anti-monopoly lawsuits, because people in their class have not had the opportunity to express their opinions, but they are the group of people who have the deepest understanding of monopoly. Monopoly means profiteering, it means that there is no pressure of competition, and it means that you can set the price however you want. In this sense, monopoly is a privilege that overrides all living beings.

Yao Tiantian angrily recalled all the things that had been monopolized in her previous life, but she didn't expect to come to the ancient times of a different time and space and encounter monopoly again. Moreover, listening to the tone of this kind-hearted uncle on the road, this happened not long ago, and people didn't monopolize it before. Could it be that she has crossed over, and even the monopoly has crossed? Is this a side effect of her crossing?

Thinking of this, Yao Tiantian was taken aback by Ziji's thoughts, isn't there someone who can do it? Yao Tiantian's heart turned, and she hurriedly said to the kind passer-by uncle, "Thank you, uncle, for telling us, we haven't been in the city for more than half a year, when did this happen?" ”

"No wonder you don't know, it's been less than three months since the county lord gave this order, many medicine pickers don't know about it, and they were arrested in a daze, you two hurry up and send the medicine to the Renji Pharmacy, it is the place designated by the county lord, take a wrong step, and the official is going to take people!" The kind-hearted passer-by uncle pointed to the left front with his hand and persuaded him earnestly.

Less than three months? Yao Tiantian secretly calculated that it had been less than three months since she came to this beautiful countryside in a different time and space. This, this, this is too much of a coincidence, right?

This thing is the same as the mysterious old beggar who suddenly appeared Yao Tiantian has a premonition in his heart, since he crossed over and merged with Xiao Tianniu, the entire Ning County seems to have undergone some kind of change, surrounding Yang Jiatun and surrounding him Yao Tiantian.

All this made Yao Tiantian's heart frightened, as early as when her uncle was sick, she faintly felt that she had crossed time and space, traveled through thousands of years, it was not just a coincidence, as the old man of Yaoxiang said, there was some kind of connection with her here.

At that time, she thought that the connection was Xiao Tianniu, and it was her that she had some special aura, so that her encounter with the fire appeared in Yao Tiantian's dream in another time and space thousands of years later. This made Yao Tiantian come over in a daze and continue to live instead of Xiao Tianniu.

However, what happened later subverted Yao Tiantian's assumptions again and again, the word 'Huang' appeared on the big bathtub, Uncle Guo's restaurant in Qingshui Town turned to ashes, and the old beggar who mysteriously appeared, as well as the county lord's medicine restriction order that she just knew.

This incident made her feel more and more that she came here not only to live in place of Xiao Tianniu, but also her Yao Tiantian mission, which was destined in the dark and could not be shirked.
