Under the guidance of Old Man Lu, I followed Master around a few streets, and found the shops of three large pharmacies in the city. But these big pharmacies of the Ge family are deserted now, perhaps because strange things happen frequently in the Ge family, and someone bought medicine yesterday and ate people to death. Now it is estimated that no one dares to buy the medicinal materials of the Ge family to cure the disease, so it is cheaper for the Ai family, and the pharmacy of the Ai family should be very prosperous.

The old man pointed to this street and said: "This street is called Yaoxiang Street, the front half is the shop of the Ai family, there are four, and the back half is the shop of our Ge family, there are three, you can see that now the medicine shop of the Ge family basically no one dares to come, but the business of the Ai family is getting better and better." Alas, Mr. Yang, you must help our Ge family, if it goes on like this, our Ge family will really be finished...... Although the master didn't say it, he knew better than anyone else that the signboard of the Ge family's divine doctor had been passed down for hundreds of years, and if it was broken here by the master, he would definitely be very sad. ”

"Uncle Lu doesn't have to worry, I will do my best." Master comforted Old Man Lu, and then looked at the other end of Yaoxiang Street with me, and sure enough, those pharmacy shops were clearly under the guise of the Ai family, and half of the street was full of people, and almost all the people in the Nanhu area who were sick and took medicine were probably gone to their side.

Entering the pharmacy of the Ge family, a strong medicinal fragrance was in the nose, and the bitter smell was even more refreshing, and the master and I stood in front of the counter, and the old man Lu shouted to the inner hall: "Wang Fatty!" Isn't Fat Wang here? ”

The young man who was lying on the counter and fiddling with the abacus suddenly stood up, and when he saw the old man Lu, he smiled respectfully: "Old butler, you are ......?"

"Alas, don't ask me, find out the fat man, I have something to tell him." After the old man Lu finished speaking, he said to himself in some surprise: "Doesn't the fat man like to stay in this pharmacy in the past? Why don't you seem to be here today? ”

The young man smiled bitterly: "Old butler, it's not like, it's not here at all." No, there is no business in the three pharmacies in front of me, and the shopkeeper Wang heard that the pharmacies along the river still have some business, so he went there early in the morning to help, and let a few of our young men guard it here. Old butler, why don't I send you a message and let the king come back?" ”

"Hmm." Old man Lu nodded and said, "You ask him to come back quickly, by the way, the pharmacy along the river will close down first, and the person who has been in charge recently is Wang Fatzi, and he is also too busy, so he just keeps an eye on these few shops." And also...... Forget it, you call Wang Fat Man back as soon as possible, I'm watching here, you go early and come back early! ”

Old man Lu is indeed worthy of being an old housekeeper of a big family, not only is he decisive and thoughtful in Ge's mansion, but he is also calm and sophisticated outside, quite a bit of Old Man Ge's demeanor.

The young man agreed, and immediately trotted out of the pharmacy. At this time, the old man Lu smiled and said, "Mr. Yang, why don't we sit down for a while?" Wang Fatzi soon returned. ”

The master frowned, and suddenly said to Old Man Lu: "Uncle Lu, I really want to go to the inner hall to have a look, it's best to take me to check every corner of each pharmacy first!" ”

When the old man heard this, he pointed to a pharmacy opposite and said: "The pharmacy over there used to be a prescription for pulse diagnosis, and finally it was changed to a pharmacy, and the one on the other side is the one on the other side, and the warehouse is also here, Mr. Yang, you come with me." As he spoke, Old Man Lu took out a key from his waist and walked into the inner hall with the master.

I had to sit at the counter and watch the door, and after a while, I saw Old Man Lu come out with Master, and said casually: "The warehouses of the two families here are connected to a courtyard, now I will take Mr. Yang to the pharmacy opposite to have a look." ”

At this moment, the young man who ran errands came back and replied respectfully to the old man Lu: "Old butler, the shopkeeper Wang is back." ”

Soon I saw a chubby middle-aged man, twisting and twisting towards us, this person's weight was ...... I estimate that I can't compare with the master and the old man Lu, who are seven feet tall and so fat, but this fat man just saw us, and he smiled and arched his hand: "Old butler, how can you give it up?" Now I'm cooking alone in several shops, so I'm almost exhausted, if I ...... You're still not letting me live? ”

Although Wang Fatzi's meaning was not said, it had actually been expressed, he just wanted to say that the business was so cold now that he was tired like this, if the reputation of the Ge family was restored in the future, once the business improved, wouldn't it be even more tiring. Old man Lu smiled bitterly and shook his head: "Now the Ge family is an eventful season, I can only work hard for you, you are a capable person who works hard, besides, isn't it time for you to close the shops along the river first?" For now, you can take care of these families. ”

"Don't do that." Wang Fatzi just wanted to say more, but he noticed the master and me, and asked in surprise: "Is this ......?"

Old man Lu hurriedly patted his head, and smiled apologetically to the master: "Mr. Yang, please forgive me, I forgot to introduce it for a momentary faux pas, Wang Fatzi, this is our master's best friend, Mr. Yang Yuanshan, the master of the Maoshan School Tantric Sect, Mr. Yang, this is the Wang Fat Man I just said, he grew up in the pharmacy when he was young, and he used to mix up from the young man who grabbed medicine, but now he is in charge of our Ge family, hehe!" ”

Wang Fatzi looked at the master in astonishment, and hurriedly said: "I have heard of Mr. Yang's name for a long time, but I didn't expect to be fortunate to meet today. ”

The master smiled and clasped his fists, and said: "It is also an honor for Yang to take time out of his busy schedule to come out to meet me, a man from the mountains and wilderness, so the shopkeeper Wang doesn't have to be so formal, hehe!" ”

Wang Fatzi hurriedly made an inviting gesture and said, "Mr. Yang, old housekeeper, please come into the inner hall to talk, Xiao Zhao, you are optimistic about the shop, don't be lazy!" ”

The young man nodded again and again, as if he was very afraid of the king's shopkeeper. Our group came to the inner hall, the inner hall is decorated with antique, very elegant, just sat down, Wang Fat Man did not stand up, fart poured a few cups of tea and brought it over, the old housekeeper saw that Wang Fat Man was so busy, and couldn't help but shout to him: "I said Wang Fatty, you can't be idle for a while, now we have something to do with you, don't always run back and forth!" Besides, if you run again, you won't be able to run away with those hundreds of pounds of meat on your body, right? ”

Wang Fatzi finally put the tea away, sat opposite us with a smile, and said, "I'm used to being busy all day, I can't be idle, old housekeeper, Mr. Yang, is there anything important for you to come?" It can't be because Du Qing died of taking medicine yesterday, right? Alas, the old housekeeper, the medicines caught every day are registered, I can show you that those two medicines are just anti-inflammatory drugs that invigorate blood and eliminate blood stasis, even if you eat all those medicines at once, you can't eat people, I can definitely guarantee that our medicine is okay! ”

"It's because of Du Qing's death!" Hearing the old housekeeper say this, I knew that the deceased's name was Du Qing, and the old housekeeper stared at Wang Fatzi and continued: "But you have been the shopkeeper in the pharmacy for decades, I can still believe this, for you, the master and I can rest assured, now it is this medicine!" ”

Seeing the suspicious eyes of the old housekeeper, Wang Fatzi's eyes lit up, and he hurriedly greeted the counter in front of him: "Xiao Zhao!" Come on! ”

After a while, the young man ran in, Wang Fatzi muttered a few words in Xiao Zhao's ear, I just wanted to come forward to listen, but the master quietly glared at me, and admonished in a low voice: "The industry has industry secrets, what do you listen to?" Honestly sit there and don't talk! Hearing Master's admonition, I nodded hurriedly and sat down with my lips pouted.

Xiao Zhao ran out and walked in with a packet of medicine and a prescription instead. The old housekeeper motioned to Xiao Zhao to take the two things to the master, the master picked up the medicine and looked at it, then looked at the prescription again, and couldn't help frowning: "This prescription and medicinal materials are fine, if Du Qing eats this medicine, he will definitely not die, and Du Qing's death is very bizarre, it is definitely not caused by these medicinal materials, but Du Qing's death is caused by medicinal materials......"

As the master spoke, he slowly stood up, glanced around, and said, "I've seen all these warehouses, and there is no trace of yin qi, and it doesn't look like someone has been disgusted with it, but why is it that such ordinary medicinal materials look fine in the pharmacy, and when they are in the hands of those people, they will have an accident as soon as they eat them?" What exactly is the reason? Or what's wrong?! ”

Hearing the master's speculation in his own words, Wang Fatzi couldn't help but ask, "Mr. Yang, don't you suspect that there are any goblins in our pharmacy?" But Du Qing died at home, not in our pharmacy, even if there are ghosts and demons, they can only be in his house, how can it be counted in the pharmacy? ”

"What's that?" Suddenly, the master pointed curiously to the red threads on the wall, which were lined up in a row, bright red.

Wang Fatzi looked over and hurriedly explained: "Oh, this is a package of medicinal thread!" ”

"Hmm." Master nodded, and then said, "By the way, is there any place to live here?" ”

"Stay?" Old man Lu and Fat Man Wang were stunned, but Fat Man Wang reacted quickly and took the lead in saying: "There is a bedroom here, and there is a bed in the warehouse, which is used by the guy to watch the warehouse, and there is also a bed in the pharmacy opposite to live, Mr. Yang, why did you remember to ask this?" Could it be that you want to stay here at night? ”

How do you know that the master really nodded, and said seriously: "Yes, I do want to live here, but it's not me, it's my apprentice Ergou, and he accompanies you to live here!" ”
