Chapter 25: Out of stock

The two walked side by side for a while, and realized that it was not the direction back to her house. "Where is this going?" I asked.

"Go to town and buy something." Rui Wei said.

I was glad to hear it, I knew so little about the world, just enough to go around and gather more information.

As I walked along the road, I asked, "By the way, what dynasty is it now?" ”

"Dynasty?" She seemed a little strange.

"Uh...... I mean, country name? I explained.

"I know, I'm just wondering why you're asking."

"I ...... I had a little ...... in my head a while ago because of some changes My memory is a little bad, and I forget a lot of things! "I started playing dumb.

She still looked puzzled, but still replied, "Han Dynasty." ”

Han dynasty? Eastern Han Dynasty or Western Han Dynasty? I thought for a moment and asked, "What about ...... Where did the capital come from? ”

"Luoyang."

Oh, it turned out to be the Eastern Han Dynasty! This was the first valuable location information I got when I came back. Then the next question came: "What about ...... Where is this...... I mean, how far is it from Luoyang? ”

She stopped, crossed her waist in front of me and asked, "I really don't know you, sometimes you seem to be very smart, sometimes you are like a fool!" ”

Eldest sister, be merciful, I'm a tiger falling into Pingyang, okay? I was not convinced.

"Now let me tell you, this is Xiping Town, Dingbei County, Shanggu County, under the jurisdiction of Youzhou, thousands of miles away from Luoyang, do you want to ask me what the mayor's surname is?" She replied impatiently.

"No, no, no, I don't care what his name is." I smiled and said, "The next question I want to ask is that I see that the climate around here is also good, why does the life of the people in the village not seem to be very good?" ”

When she heard me ask, she lowered her head and continued to walk forward, saying as she went, "There are Hu people in the distance and Xiangma in the distance, how can life be good." ”

"This ...... Hu Ren and Xiangma are ...... "I originally had 100,000 in my stomach, but seeing her gloomy face, it seemed that she couldn't be friends anymore by chatting like this, so she simply swallowed the question into her stomach temporarily."

Hearing that I was silent, she asked as if she had thought of something, "You seem to have said that the girl was a patient just now?" How do you know? ”

Although it only happened in a moment, it didn't seem to have escaped her ears and eyes! I had to say, "Well, I studied medicine, but I only know a little bit about it." ”

I thought that this was just her expectation, but I didn't expect her face to change when she heard this, and she looked at me in disbelief, her eyes were full of surprise, and even there seemed to be a trace of fear.

"What's wrong?" I asked curiously.

"Just tell me what you say, don't tell anyone." She said solemnly.

"What words? What about my medical studies? ......" I was just about to ask, but she suddenly reached out and covered my mouth, looked around for a moment before putting her hand down and said, "That's it, don't say it again." ”

"Why?"

"It's going to kill you." Her eyes flickered, and she was in shock.

I was completely confused. What the hell is going on? Didn't the Eastern Han Dynasty produce the most famous Chinese medicine patriarch Zhang Zhongjing? As soon as I said that it was the Eastern Han Dynasty just now, I was really excited! Why don't you let me talk about studying medicine? Isn't this world the world I know anymore?

"This ...... I see that you don't take money from people when you catch ghosts, so what do you live on? "I changed the subject.

"I hunt ghosts to see the mood, I can accept it if I want to, and I will be exempted if I don't want to accept it." She said lightly.

I don't think it's so simple, looking at the situation of the family just now, I guess I can't afford to give her any money, this girl is full of compassion, so she often does it in vain. I couldn't help but admire, and I bowed my hand to her in my heart and said: Brother respects you as a female man!

After chatting and walking for a while, I arrived at Xiping Town, where I had already been before.

Rui Wei took me to several places, selling rice, cloth, meat, and vegetables, and pointed them out to me one by one, telling me which ones were affordable and which ones were chicken thieves, and I was so bored that I couldn't do it. But when I passed by the Fuhai Building halfway, I looked inside curiously for a long time, and I was still laughing in my heart, I don't know if Boss Li broke the bill because of my bragging!

This town is not very big, and it seems that I have walked all over the city after walking around for most of the day. Eventually, I noticed a strange thing, there were so many kinds of business in the town, including kilns and casinos, but I barely saw the one thing I cared about the most: the drugstore!

Could it be that the people here are healthy and not very sick? But when I saw people on the street with different faces, and occasionally met people who were mentally depressed and obviously weak, it was not like they didn't need to take medicine, so why didn't anyone run a pharmacy?

By the end of the day I was so tired that I was about to collapse, to be honest, it was not easy to go shopping with the girl, if I was to play by myself, to go to the places that I was interested in, I would walk a few kilometers like playing. But it's only been half a day since I accompanied her like this, and I already feel like I'm completely collapsed from body to spirit!

Maybe she also saw my tiredness, and when she saw a small tea stall next to me, she pulled me over and sat down, and ordered two cups of weak tea to drink.

When I saw that there was water to drink, I quickly poured it down, and then I felt a little more uplifted!

When she saw me like this, she smiled and said, "No, I've only walked a few steps!" ”

I replied weakly, "Auntie, I admit that I don't have the strength of your feet to go around like this!" ”

"You have to memorize the places you have just been, and it will be your business to buy things later!"

"Ahh I began to complain.

But she glared at her and said, "Who said that I should be raised as an animal?" ”

"Good, good!" Eating people has a short mouth, so I have to reluctantly make it difficult.

She smiled, patted me on the head and said, "Good! "You really think of me as a pet!

I was about to say a few more words to her when my eyes suddenly fell on a small shop across the street behind her. It was a small door face the size of a palm, and the paint on the doorpost was about to fade off, and it looked like it was some years old, and the reason why I was attracted was because there was a small sign hanging next to the shop, which read: Medicine.

The sign is also very old, and if you don't look closely, you can hardly see that there is such a store in the gap.

My curiosity sparked! But thinking of what Rui Wei had told me before, I thought it would be better not to touch this matter in front of her, so he said, "Where are you going next?" ”

"Went buy some trivial things for work, what's wrong?"

As soon as I heard that I was going to buy something again, I immediately had two heads and two big heads, and quickly complained: "Grandma, I really can't walk!" Or you can go, I'll sit here and wait for you. ”

"With your small physique, are you still catching ghosts? If you meet a fast-footed one, I'll kill you! She snorted.

I instinctively wanted to retort, but remembering that the top priority now was to coax her away, I immediately showed weakness and said: "Yes, yes, I'm still far away!" ”

She pursed her lips, stood up, felt something from the pouch at her waist, and held out her hand as if to hand it to me.

I opened my palm to take it, but I saw that it was three small copper coins, with round edges and square holes, and the words "five baht" written on them.

She added: "There are food sellers everywhere in this town, you can buy a few steamed buns and the like in a while, and take the rest home to eat in the evening." ”

When I heard it, I immediately felt ashamed, although she didn't say the words "take it to buy food", but how can I, a big man, let the girl doll raise the reason? I can't help but secretly resolve to find a way to make money sooner, or to end my historical mission in this plane as soon as possible.

After she said that, she walked away on her own. I looked at her slender back and felt that a girl of this age was still a delicate girl in school in that world, and what she carried on her thin shoulders seemed to be more than just the pressure of survival.

Watching her turn around and disappear from sight, I immediately jumped to my feet and headed straight for the pharmacy across the street.

Although I had already estimated in my heart, I was really surprised when I entered the door of the hut!

The impression of the Chinese medicine shop in my heart, if nothing else, must be a tall chest of drawers, and the room is full of medicinal fragrance. This small shop with a plaque with the word "medicine" does not have these two representative characteristics at all, only a simple counter, and a few stools, if there is anything similar to medicine, it is probably a few bundles of grass pushed in the corner, too far away to see what kind of medicine it is.

The room was dark, and there was no one in sight, so I walked to the counter only to see a person's head peeking out from behind the counter.

"Excuse me......" I said cautiously.

The top of the head shook, and an impatient voice said, "Fangzi bring it!" ”

As soon as I heard this attitude, I am afraid that I am not a person who is easy to inquire about something, so I had an idea and made up nonsense: "I lost it on the road, do you have any paper here for me to write another copy?" ”

A thin face immediately appeared behind the counter, estimated to be in his forties, but the forehead lines on his forehead were the same as those carved by a knife, and he looked very old. He glared at me with piercing eyes, but instead of speaking, he pulled out a piece of paper and a pen from behind the counter.

I took a pen and paper, pressed it on the counter, and wrote this recipe:

Three taels of cinnamon branches, three taels of white peony, and two taels of licorice.

This is the first classic soup recipe of Zhang Zhongjing's "Treatise on Typhoid Fever and Miscellaneous Diseases", which seems simple but integrates the dialectical theory of yin and yang in the first party of Dacheng, and "Guizhi Soup" is also.

He took it and looked at it, and first sighed: "This is really hard to read!" ”

I thought to myself: be content, I won't write such a simple recipe in traditional Chinese! Besides, the reason why you criticize me is that it is difficult to recognize that it is because you have not seen the true works of some doctors in our unit!

But then he asked in a low voice, "What are the symptoms of the patient?" ”

I replied skillfully, "Chills, fear of wind, fever, poor appetite, sweating." In fact, to put it bluntly, the most common "cold" in modern times is also, but the last sentence is quite important, it must be "sweaty cold" to use this recipe. In addition to the three flavors I wrote, I also had to add an appropriate amount of ginger and red dates according to the specific situation of the patient, because I really couldn't write and omitted it.

Originally, I wanted to borrow a simple recipe to test him and see what the operation process of this pharmacy in the Eastern Han Dynasty was, but I didn't expect him to slap the recipe on the counter without saying a word: "Go back!" Out of stock! ”
