Chapter 22: Hundred Grass Hall

After breakfast the next day, Xu Qingyan set off with a small porcelain bottle filled with runic water.

followed Xu Guanghua to the county seat for the second time, and she knew the road, but walking alone on such a long road was inevitably a little lonely and lonely. But she didn't want her family to know, so she had to be a lone ranger herself.

Fortunately, there were other pedestrians on the road, and I didn't know if they were from the same village or from other villages, some of them were in groups, talking and laughing all the way, and Xu Qingyan was listening to them talking and laughing while hurrying.

An hour later, she finally arrived at the county seat, and after entering the county seat, she found that she didn't seem to know which street the pharmacy was on. I want to find someone to ask, but I'm afraid of meeting someone with bad intentions. Standing on the street for a while, I didn't know what to do, I thought about it, and I thought it was better to go to Sanjue Bookstore and ask the guy there or the shopkeeper who was safer.

made a decision, raised his feet and went to the Sanjue bookstore, and when he entered the door, he saw that the shopkeeper was bowing his head in front of the counter and writing something, there were not many customers in the bookstore, and a guy was sweeping the ashes around with a feather duster.

"Hello Uncle Shopkeeper, I want to ask where is the pharmacy in our county?" Xu Qingyan thought about it, and still asked the shopkeeper who was bowing his head and writing, the guy was walking around constantly, and occasionally had to introduce the guests, she was always good at following him back and forth.

When the shopkeeper heard the voice, he looked up from the ledger, only to find a small head sticking out of front of the counter, and if he was shorter, he would almost be out of sight. But he still has some impressions of this girl, wasn't it this little girl who had a conflict with the county commander last time, and then came to the store to buy things.

Therefore, the shopkeeper of the bookstore asked with a smile on his face: "The little girl inquired about the pharmacy, but what was wrong with her?" Wu Tianyou, who was about to enter the door outside the door, heard this, and his footsteps stopped in place.

Xu Qingyan shook her head and said: "No, it's because someone in the family is sick, and the adults can't get out, so I came to the county seat to grab medicine, but I have never entered the pharmacy, I don't know where the pharmacy is?" Please also ask the shopkeeper to inform one or two. ”

After hearing this, the shopkeeper said with sympathy on his face: "Then you go to West Street, there are several pharmacies on West Street, go out from this gate, and go west to the street to West Street." ”

After Xu Qingyan thanked the shopkeeper, she turned around and left the bookstore, and when she went out, she just saw Wu Tianyou standing at the door, she just glanced at him with her spare eyes, then withdrew her gaze, and walked past him indifferently.

Wu Tianyou's footsteps that were about to enter the door turned around, and he followed behind Xu Qingyan, he wanted to see what this girl was going to do in the pharmacy. He didn't believe her excuse, if someone in the family was sick and wanted to get medicine, her face would not be worried at all.

Xu Qingyan was thinking about how to make people accept her potion when she entered the pharmacy later, so she didn't notice that someone was following behind.

Until she walked to the street, thinking about the shopkeeper's words, she went west to the street, but she was only divided into left and right, not things, and now who would tell her the three forks in the road in front of her, which one was to the west?

Wu Tianyou saw her stop at the entrance of the street and did not move, a little puzzled, but did not step forward, but stood in place, wanting to see how she would move next.

"Up north and down south, left west and right east." Xu Qingyan had words in her mouth, and then looked at the direction of the sun, and finally corresponded to the position in the west. Wu Tianyou behind him was actually not far away, and he listened to all her broken thoughts, which would be covering his mouth and snickering in the back, this girl looked very shrewd when she choked with him that day, but she didn't expect to be an idiot who couldn't even tell the direction.

After choosing the direction, Xu Qingyan began to march towards West Street, not forgetting to look at the shops on both sides along the way, for fear of accidentally omitting the medical hall pharmacy.

I didn't walk a hundred steps, and I saw a pharmacy on the left hand side with a flag fluttering in the wind, and the book was written in Baicaotang. Xu Qingyan hurriedly walked over, but she didn't walk in directly, but chose to wait and watch at the door.

Standing at the door, you can smell the strong fragrance of Chinese medicine coming from the pharmacy, at this time there are not many people in the shop to grab medicine, only three or five people, there is a table in the east corner of the pharmacy, where there is an old doctor with white hair who is giving a patient's pulse.

The man was showing one leg at this time, his eyebrows were furrowed, and his expression was painful, and from Xu Qingyan's point of view, he couldn't see where the patient's injuries were and how heavy they were.

After observing for a while, Xu Qingyan calmly walked in, and at this time, there was only one guest left in the pharmacy waiting to grab the medicine, Xu Qingyan didn't speak, just watched the pharmacy guy grab the medicine.

The guy was obviously proficient, holding the prescription in one hand, and quickly grabbed the appropriate amount of medicinal materials from the medicine cabinet behind him with the other, and then wrapped them together and handed them to the guest.

It wasn't until the young man was busy that Xu Qingyan walked to the medicine cabinet and said to the guy: "This brother, I don't know if the shopkeeper is there?" Can you ask the shopkeeper to come out? ”

The guy glanced at Xu Qingyan and said, "What's the matter with the little girl looking for the shopkeeper, if you want to grab the medicine, just give me the prescription, if you want to see a doctor, please line up on the right hand." ”

"Little brother, I am neither taking medicine nor seeing a doctor, I have something to do with the shopkeeper, can you please help me report, thank you."

The young man was originally unwilling, but seeing that the little girl was very polite and pleaded with a face, maybe something really important. After thinking for a while, he said, "Okay, then I'll go in and report to you, just wait here and don't walk around!" ”

"Don't worry, I'm here and I won't walk around." After getting Xu Qingyan's answer, the young man opened the curtain and went to the back to report.

Wu Tianyou, who was following behind, saw Xu Qingyan enter the Baicao Hall, and suddenly a smile of unknown meaning appeared on his face.

It didn't take long for the curtain to be lifted again, and a middle-aged man of about forty years old came from behind, wearing a purple satin robe and medium build, followed by the young man who had just entered.

Xu Qingyan guessed that this person was the shopkeeper of this Baicao Hall.

Therefore, he immediately stepped forward and said sweetly: "Hello Uncle shopkeeper, the little girl is here today to discuss something, disturb the shopkeeper's place, and look at Haihan." This wrinkled way of greeting made Xu Qingyan cry out for a toothache. But if not, I'm afraid that she won't be able to fool the shopkeeper, and now she just wants to give the shopkeeper a good impression.

Sure enough, her words immediately made the shopkeeper Wang look at her with admiration, and originally saw that this girl was dressed and thought that the poor family couldn't get the medicine, and planned to ask him to intercede for a reduction of the medicine money. I didn't expect to speak calmly and advance and retreat in a certain way, looking at it this way, it is not like an ordinary peasant child.

"I don't know what the little guest has to discuss with the contemptible person?"

"Shopkeeper, my ancestor has a secret recipe that wants to cooperate with the shopkeeper, I don't know what the shopkeeper wants?"
