A few taels of silver is nothing to a rich family, but it is not a small amount for ordinary people.

The vast majority of people can't even find silver at home, and it's very good to be able to dig dozens of copper plates on their bodies.

Therefore, five taels of silver is like a heavy mountain to them, and they can't make up enough to smash the pot and sell iron.

I finally heard that the shopkeeper Zhou said that he could owe the debt, but the deadline was only three months, and five taels became ten taels, which was even worse.

"Plop!"

A white-haired old man burst into tears, couldn't help but walk out of the crowd and knelt down on the street, crying: "Shopkeeper Zhou, Zhou Dashan man, you do well, save my grandson, save everyone......"

Someone took the lead, and immediately more than a dozen people knelt down and begged bitterly for the shopkeeper Zhou.

"Shopkeeper Zhou, as long as you cure my iron pillar, you can let me be a cow and a horse."

"Please, Shopkeeper Zhou, we really can't take out so much silver......"

"If you send kindness to save the villagers, we will pray for you every day......"

Seeing that many people were kneeling at the moment, Shopkeeper Zhou was indifferent, and said coldly: "It's useless for you to kneel, I don't need to pay for dispensing medicine?" I ask dude not to pay? If you want to be too expensive, you can go to some Tulangzhong, and they will charge a few coppers. ”

"But they really can't cure this disease......

Hearing this, Shopkeeper Zhou couldn't help laughing: "Since you know that only I can cure it, what nonsense is it?" Hurry up and find a way to make up the money, otherwise when the time comes, Zhou will really have no choice......"

Several men also followed suit, and some even brought a knife out to scare the people, so that these people would not rush into the store to grab medicine.

At this time, Li Xiang had already walked to the edge of the crowd and witnessed all this with his own eyes.

Coupled with his own observations and judgments, he had roughly guessed the reason.

On the surface, a strange disease suddenly spread in the town, like a plague.

The patient's face was dark, his limbs were weak, and some even vomited black blood. In just a few days, more than a dozen people had died in the town, as well as in the neighboring villages, causing panic.

Whether it is the township or the county Langzhong, they are helpless against this disease.

The only person who can treat this disease is the shopkeeper Zhou.

In fact, the shopkeeper Zhou is not Langzhong, he is just a pharmacy, and he basically does not see a doctor for others. But this time, he came up with a so-called antidote prescription, and sold it for five taels of silver a dose.

A few wealthy families rushed to the doctor, and each bought a dose to try, but the disease was really cured.

As soon as the news spread, many people rushed to ask for medicine.

Including some people who are not sick also come to buy, thinking about being prepared, after all, this disease is four infections, who can say which day they will be infected?

With this prescription, Shopkeeper Zhou can be regarded as making a lot of money......

But after Li Xiang's observation, this disease is simply a man-made disaster!

To be precise, it's a demon disaster!

These people are not sick, but have been poisoned. However, the other party's purpose is obviously not to want the lives of these people, the poison is very light, and the poisoned person can generally last for more than ten days.

This shows that this demon must have some purpose.

And Shopkeeper Zhou, at first glance, is not a monk, just an ordinary person who can't even be called Langzhong, how can he cure demon poison?

Li Xiang didn't break it on the spot, he had to confirm it himself.

So, I quietly performed a stealth technique, entered the store and took an antidote to take a closer look, and finally found that it was greasy.

The so-called home remedies of the shopkeeper Zhou are actually just a few very ordinary herbs, which are completely incompatible with detoxification.

The reason why it can cure the patient is because these medicines have been applied to the demonic arts, and after taking them, they can remove the demonic poison in the body.

And this demon poison is the toxin of the spider spirit.

At this time, according to various clues, Li Xiang can almost speculate that this matter, Bacheng was done by a poisonous lady who cultivated in the Black Forest.

After all, it's not far from the Black Forest, and it's unlikely that a second spider spirit will appear.

As for why the poisonous lady was poisoned, and let the shopkeeper Zhou detoxify, I am afraid that there are some special reasons involved, in short, the two sides must have reached some kind of interest agreement.

Since it happened, then even the pot was served......

Outside, it's still noisy.

Shopkeeper Zhou whispered a few words to a few guys, then turned around and went back to the back room, counting the silver of the white flowers.

Li Xiang guessed correctly, there was indeed a deal between Shopkeeper Zhou and the poisonous lady.

The poisonous lady is a spider spirit who has been cultivating for hundreds of years, and recently because of her cultivation, she needs to swallow a large amount of poisonous weeds.

Although she is a demon, her range of activities is limited, and she doesn't dare to run too far, so she thought of a way to ask some nearby pharmacists or Lang Zhong to help her find medicine.

And the poisonous lady is very smart, knows that people are greedy, and the effect of threats is far less than that of temptation.

Therefore, in the end, in the current way, she sent her subordinates to secretly spread the demon poison, and then she provided some antidotes that could detoxify the poison, so that a guy like Shopkeeper Zhou, who only recognized money and did not recognize people, made a windfall with a conscience.

In just a few days, Shopkeeper Zhou has made a net profit of almost 3,000 taels of silver.

After all, this is just a small mountain town, and three thousand taels of silver is enough to make Shopkeeper Zhou the richest man in the town, so how can he not work hard?

And this is just the beginning, it seems that there is no problem in earning another three thousand taels.

Just when the shopkeeper Zhou was happy to count the silver, a guy outside hurriedly came over, breathless and said: "Shopkeeper, it's not good, someone at the street corner is boiling medicine, saying that it is free to drink, and drinking a bowl is guaranteed to cure the strange diseases of those people." ”

"What?"

Upon hearing this, Shopkeeper Zhou couldn't help but be surprised, and immediately locked up the silver and hurriedly walked out of the house.

When I came to the door of the store, I saw that the long queue had disappeared, and everyone ran to an inn at the corner of the street, with three floors inside and three layers outside.

The person who boiled the medicine was Li Xiang.

The pot was provided by the inn, and the two men were busy adding firewood, and there were a few unknown herbs floating in the pot.

"Such a big pot of water, just a few herbs, can really cure diseases?"

Someone couldn't help but ask.

Li Xiang smiled and said: "There are not many medicines, but the symptoms." Besides, if you don't receive a penny, whoever is sick comes here to drink a bowl and keep the medicine until the disease is removed. ”

"It's not poisonous, is it?"

"If you're afraid of poison, don't drink it!"

At this time, a big man squeezed out of the crowd and said in a weak voice: "I'm not afraid, I'll be the first to drink, anyway, I don't have the money to buy medicine, forget it if I die." ”

"My second ......"

Another man squeezed forward.

Li Xiang nodded: "Okay, you two will try the medicine first." But you don't have to worry, I said, take the medicine and keep your illness in the right time! ”

It didn't take long for the water to boil, and Li Xiang instructed the men to suppress the firewood, and then scooped two bowls of medicine with his own hands and put them on the table.

"I'll come first!"

The big man stepped forward, picked up the bowl and drank it while blowing, which meant that he was looking at death as if he were at home......
