Chapter 10: I'm Dying
Zhao Jin could have learned martial arts in her previous life, she was originally an orphan, and then she was secretly adopted by an organization, where she studied various skills for eight years, and then finally passed the exam and began to go on missions. Both physical fitness and reflexes are good. It's just that this body is too empty to keep up. Fortunately, at such a critical time, the instinct to survive gave her tremendous energy, allowing her to dodge the deadly attack. The snake was fixed, but it was conscious, and it struggled, its tail whipped incessantly, maybe it was anger, maybe it was pain.
Zhao Jin was swept several times, and the analgesia was about to penetrate her internal organs, and she was about to lose it. At this time, she could only shout at the pillar: "Pillar, why are you still stunned, go up." Otherwise, we will all be buried here. The pillar reacted, carried the hoe and ran to the side of the snake, raised the hoe in his hand, and cut off the snake's head suddenly, and suddenly, the snake's blood splashed on his face and even his whole body, and the smell was incomparable!
As soon as the snake's head fell, the snake's body slowly softened, and after a while, it fell to the ground and died. Although it was only such a dozen seconds of work, the clothes of the two people sweating profusely were already soaked with sweat, and the two people were spread on the ground, panting heavily, and the pillar was tightly next to Zhao Jin, frightened. The two of them had just escaped from under the snake, and it was terrifying. The pillar stared closely at the snake head that he cut off not far away, only to see that it had a big mouth, sharp teeth, and black eyes staring at him coldly and viciously, and his heart was still trembling, his face was pale, he was trembling all over, and he hugged him tightly, and his mouth kept coming out: "Sister, is it dead?" Is it dead? .....I'm so scared. Zhao Jin trembled when she heard him speak, knowing that she was not lightly frightened, she held his hand tightly and kept comforting: "Zhuzi, it's okay." You are so brave, if it weren't for you, my sister would have almost died under this snake. ”
The pillar slowly returned to normal, but suddenly he cried, he had not experienced any major events at this age, and he had just encountered such a life-and-death event, crying could express his emotions. Zhao Jin accompanied him, watching over and over again how to deal with this snake, take it home directly, it will definitely scare his father and mother to death, but if he discarded it directly, he had just escaped from Shekou too cheaply, and he didn't get anything. In the end, she remembered that last time the Eight Immortals Restaurant said that it could collect game, snake meat was relatively rare, and it should still be sold for a little money. If the snake gallbladder can be collected by the drugstore, it will be more cost-effective.
In the end, the two discussed for a while, first went home and carried the original pigweed back and told her mother that it would take some time to dig wild vegetables outside, and go back to change into clean clothes by the way, and then come back to the town. The snake is dead, and if you don't deal with it sooner, it will probably stink. So the two of them hurriedly acted, Zhao Jin was still very clean, and she didn't take up anything, so she tidied up by the spring, and then went out of the forest with the pillar and waited for the pillar on the way to the town.
This big snake weighed thirty or forty pounds, Zhao Jin put pigweed under and around the basket, and then stuffed the snake into it and put it in the middle, and covered it with a thick layer of weeds, so that it looked like a basket of pigweed from the outside. The pillar soon returned, although Zhao Jin was very tired after tossing all morning, but he could only see money in his eyes, the two of them walked very fast all the way, and there happened to be an uncle who was driving to enter the city on the road, it was estimated that it was now afternoon, and there were not many people going to the town, so they kindly let them take a ride, but it was an hour to come to the town.
The last time Zhao Jin came, she knew the approximate location of the pharmacy, so the two went straight to the pharmacy. The last time she noticed, the most famous is the Rejuvenation Hall, which is spread all over the country, and there are branches in various places, but it is really a century-old store, and it is also famous in the local area, and the price of medicine is still cheap.
The two entered the Rejuvenation Hall, surrounded by people who were seeing a doctor and taking medicine, men, women and children, and the doctor sitting in the hall was a white-haired, kind and kind old man, and after the two came in, the guys were too busy, and no one came up to ask them.
The two of them are also in a hurry, and they want to go back early after selling out. So Zhao Jin turned around and found a guy who seemed to be easier to talk and stopped: "Big brother, hello, please ask if you accept this?" Zhao Jin looked around, then motioned for the little brother to bend down, and then whispered something in his ear. The little brother stretched out his hand and opened a slight gap in the basket behind him, a trace of surprise flashed on his face, and then nodded cautiously and said: "I know, you come with me, I can't be the master of this matter, I will take you to meet our master." If he is willing to accept it, I guess you can stay. Zhao Jin nodded, indicating that he understood.
Then the little brother led them to the backyard of the pharmacy, sure enough, it is still a century-old shop, although the front of the shop is already very large, but the courtyard behind is even bigger, all the way, there are medicinal materials, there are sorting medicinal materials, there are some places to dry medicine, and there are rows of houses I don't know what to do.
When he arrived at a courtyard specializing in collecting medicinal materials, the little brother walked to a room full of all kinds of miscellaneous medicinal materials, and saw that there were people inside, and he couldn't see what it looked like outside, so he stood outside the door respectfully, and Zhao Jin and the two didn't dare to make a mistake, so they stood there.
After a while, I heard the voice of a middle-aged man inside: "Xiao Wu, but is there something?" ”
"Master, two people from the countryside have sent a little medicine, and they want to trouble the master to take a look."
The master let out an "oh", with a faint surprise in his voice, and then said, "Come in, aren't you sure what medicinal herbs you have?" ”
The little brother nodded at the two of them, and then led the two of them in.
Zhao Jin raised his head and looked at the tall, faint smell of medicinal herbs, took a deep breath, and then raised his heels and walked in behind the little brother.
