"There's two hundred and one pounds over there." The boss thought that Ji Chen was too expensive, so he recommended ginseng of a slightly inferior grade to him.

"No, that's it."

Ji Chen grabbed a handful of ginseng directly from the stall, which looked like half a catty, and in the stunned eyes of the stall owner, he put it directly in his mouth and chewed it.

“……”

what？

The stall owner looked confused, he was not afraid that Ji Chen would not give money, but that he would break his teeth, this is a special dried ginseng, like a firewood stick, can you chew it directly? He felt sorry for Ji Chen's teeth.

There are also ginseng that can't be eaten directly at all, almost the essence of the whole ginseng is in the ginseng, and people who know how to cut off the ginseng to make wine, and if you eat it directly, something will happen.

It turns out that Ji Chen's teeth are not ordinarily good. Such a big handful of ginseng was chewed and swallowed by him.

After chewing a handful of ginseng, Ji Chen blinked his mouth and said, "It's a little dry, it's a little astringent, and it doesn't taste good." ”

The stall owner almost didn't scold, others use it to make soup or stew bones, and only use half or even a third at a time, you pour it, just put half a catty in your mouth and chew it, it's weird if it's not dry or astringent! If something happens to you, the labor and management will pay for the soup and medicine.

Ji Chen ignored the stall owner's black expression, but carefully sensed his body, and did not find anything abnormal.

"No response!"

He was a little frustrated, the more than 300 pounds of ginseng was not up to the task. In this way, I can only go to the pharmacy and look for some old goods in the town store.

I used my mobile phone to transfer 200 yuan to the stall owner, and then ran towards several time-honored pharmacies in the city.

Bao Zhilin, one of the oldest time-honored pharmacies in Rongcheng.

Ji Chen's first stop is Bao Zhilin, I want to come there because there should be old ginseng from the previous year!

Just as he drove through an ancient street, a faint musk came into his nose, zombies have a natural sense of smell, although this musk is very light, ordinary people can't smell it at all, but he smells it.

Ji Chen slowed down and looked in the direction where the musk came.

On the right-hand side, there is a dark street, and on both sides of the street are large trees, and the foliage covers the whole street. Ji Chen saw a pharmacy at the end of the street in a trance.

Musk is a forbidden drug, it is strictly forbidden to buy and sell privately, and even pharmacies are not allowed to sell it.

Even this thing is available, maybe some private goods are not necessarily, no wonder this pharmacy wants to open in such a secluded place, it turns out to be a pharmacy with wild goods.

Wild goods are a general term, musk is one of them, and so is ginseng, which is more spiritual than those cultivated in large areas.

Hit the direction of death, turned into the dark street, it was summer, but after entering here, I felt a chill.

The street is a bit off-track, with residential buildings in the old neighborhood on both sides, and sparse shops along the road.

The pharmacy is in the innermost part of the street.

A wooden plaque with paint off hangs on the door, and the book is a gilded letter, a gold pharmacy. Most of the gold dust on the word has also been lost.

Ji Chen sighed, "This is really a time-honored Chinese medicine shop, so old that even the door is about to decay." ”

Push the door and get out of the car and walk towards the pharmacy. As soon as I entered the house, a pungent smell of medicinal herbs came to the surface, mixed with a strong musk.

Musk is sold privately, and there will be a reward for reporting. But he wasn't going to be nosy, he just came to buy ginseng.

On the counter, a scrawny old man was sleeping on his stomach.

Ji Chen first looked inside the house, then looked at the old man, and saw that the old man didn't mean to wake up, so he knocked on the table, "Boss, it's time for business." ”

The old man raised his head, glanced at Ji Chen with sleepy eyes, and said lightly: "Grab medicine or buy medicine?" ”

"Do you have old ginseng?"

The old man instantly came to his senses, squinted his eyes and stared at Ji Chen for a long time before he said, "Yes...... What vintage do you want? ”

"The older the better."

"We have fifty years here, 32,000 plants, and 100-year-old ginseng, 241,000 plants, which one do you want?"

"Two hundred and forty thousand?"

Ji Chen was taken aback by this price, I chewed half a catty of 300 yuan a pound just now, how can I get to you for more than 200,000 yuan, or one plant. That's a big price difference, isn't it?

I thought that with 500,000 yuan in my pocket, I was already well-off, but after counting the two ginsengs, I would return to the pre-liberation period.

"Take them all out and I'll take a look."

The old man looked Ji Chen up and down, as if he was really a big customer, or he was here to entertain him. After looking at it for a while, he said, "Wait a minute, that thing is in the storeroom, I'll go get it." ”

He first made Ji Chen a cup of tea, and then walked towards the back.

Ji Chen took a sip of tea, feeling that the taste was obedient, with a faint smell of traditional Chinese medicine, and looked at the cup, which was soaked in two pieces of unknown medicinal herbs.

It is worthy of being a Chinese medicine shop, and there are medicinal materials for making tea.

The old man went for a long time, but he did not return.

At this moment, they were pushed away, and a wet woman walked in.

Suddenly, the broken knife inserted in Ji Chen's waist trembled, as if it was about to jump out of the leather sheath.

Ji Chen was surprised, since he got this broken knife, it was the first time that something had changed.

The broken knife was a warning, and Ji Chen was vigilant.

The woman's gaze fell directly on Ji Chen, and she asked, "Excuse me, is Huang Daxian here?" Is my daughter's medicine ready? ”

"I don't know, I don't know Wong Tai Sin."

Ji Chen replied while staring at the woman's wet clothes.

Is it raining outside?

He turned his head to see what was going on outside through the crack in the door that was about to close, it was dark, the branches of the trees on both sides of the road were rustling in the wind, and the rain was pouring down as if the sky had broken.

It turned out to be raining heavily.

But no!!

Ji Chen suddenly became alert, and always felt that there was nothing wrong there.

Sound, yes, sound.

It was raining so heavily outside, and the wind was howling, but he didn't hear the slightest sound, he didn't hear the sound of the leaves rubbing, he didn't hear the rain hitting the leaves, it was as if the world in front of him had been turned into silent mode.

"Something is wrong."

Ji Chen stood up directly, his eyes staring at the woman, there was something wrong with this woman.

The woman was about thirty, wearing a plain white dress that was popular in the nineties, and she was soaking wet, causing the skirt to stick to her body, and her hair was wet with rain, tangled together, and water stains dripped down her hair onto the skirt.

Ji Chen's eyes suddenly froze, and under the light, he didn't even find the shadow of a woman.

How can normal people have no shadows, only ghosts have no shadows, ghosts are originally gathered by yin energy, belong to the spirit body, and there can be no shadows at all.

But Ji Chen didn't feel the existence of any yin qi in the woman, if it wasn't for the broken knife as a warning, he wouldn't have been able to detect that the woman was not a human being.

There is only one possibility in such a situation, this woman's cultivation is extremely high, far beyond herself. And now she is trapped in her field, which is commonly known as the ghost hitting the wall, if you can't get out quickly, something bad will happen.

"Excuse me, is Wong Tai Sin here? Is my daughter's medicine ready? Seeing that Ji Chen didn't answer, the woman spoke again, repeating the same sentence mechanically, and even the tone was exactly the same.

Ji Chen no longer answered, when facing a terrifying creature of unknown depth, when he couldn't come up with a specific scale, the best way was not to speak casually.
