Chapter Twenty-Six: The Uninvited Guest
As soon as I heard him perfunctory me like this, a nameless fire attacked me in my heart. My little prescription is a three-flavor medicine, and they are all ordinary things, even if you happen to be missing one of them, I can endure it, and there is no such ordinary thing as licorice, what kind of pharmacy do you open? He said this to watch people put on the dishes, and he didn't want to do my business!
"Then I dare to ask, what do you have here?" I asked angrily.
He seemed to hear the provocation in my tone, stood up without showing weakness, stared into my eyes and replied, "There is everything, but only those who are really in need!" ”
"How do you know I'm not really in need?"
"Just look at your expression, if someone in the family is really sick, most of the people who come to seek medicine are anxious and uncertain because of worry. Seeing that you are calm, your eyes are firm, and there is a sarcastic smile on the corner of your mouth, you know that you must not really come to seek medicine, but have other purposes. He replied calmly.
"That's because my patient has already seen a doctor, so I feel free to come to get medicine!" I would like to argue with that.
He asked, "Have you seen it?" Which doctor? ”
"This ...... We're from somewhere else, and you won't know about it. "I was the first to hide the truth and started to get short of breath.
He immediately said with a see-through expression: "Young man, let me tell you, I know all the doctors within a hundred miles of this, and no one's prescription will be like what you wrote." ”
"Oh?" I wondered, "And if that's what we're talking about, what would they be?" ”
"You," he said, "but instead of answering me, he ordered the eviction of the guest, "what are you going to do, don't be here to have fun, let's go!" ”
As soon as I saw it, I was afraid that I would go home empty-handed. I had no choice but to arch my hand, bow to the ground, and say modestly: "To tell you what I said, my brother did come to visit because he had something to ask!" It was just an unintentional joke, don't take it to heart! ”
To be honest, I don't know exactly what I'm doing on this plane. But judging from the previous analysis of Meng Yiling and Tian Ge, my father must have made a breakthrough by using Chinese medicine to reverse time. If I don't start here, I really can't find any contact point between this world and my original world, and it will be like looking for a needle in a haystack to find out!
And since I appeared near this town, and there is only one shop related to Chinese medicine in this town, no matter how difficult the master in front of me is, I have to wait carefully, otherwise the clue will really be broken.
Sure enough, as soon as he heard me say this, as if his previous speculation had been confirmed, a smug look appeared on his face, but it was only a moment, and he asked coldly, "What do you want from me?" ”
I leaned over the counter and whispered, "Someone I know has a strange disease, I wonder if you've ever heard of it?" ”
"What's weird?"
"The adult men of the whole family, just like being poisoned by some kind of Gu poison, will encounter all kinds of strange accidents and die at a certain time."
As soon as he heard this, his face changed greatly, and the confidence in his eyes disappeared in an instant, replaced by surprise and fear that could not be concealed. He rushed out from behind the counter, grabbed me by the arm, pulled me out, pulled me to the door, pushed me out, threw the prescription I had written on me, and said, "I don't know what you're talking about!" There you go! There you go! Then he slammed the door shut, and ignored me no matter how much I knocked.
I had no choice but to give up for the time being, go back to the small tea shed just now and sit down, and continue to look at the door of his shop. But when Rui Wei came back, he didn't see the door open again.
I didn't expect this result, but instead of being depressed, I was very hopeful!
It was a dangerous move for me to ask such a specific question, because a person like him, who is pretentious at first glance, would not attract any attention from ordinary questions at all, and would not make him take them seriously, but would only waste my time.
I asked about it, and if he still didn't respond, or even showed confusion, I probably asked in vain. But his current reaction clearly shows that he knows something, which is not a great joy for me!
I deliberately used the word "Gu poison" instead of the word "curse", which is also a temptation, after all, things like curses are really a bit far away from other people's livelihoods.
Rui Wei saw that I was sitting there in a daze, and when I asked, I didn't eat anything, and I couldn't help complaining that I had to wait for everything, and then pulled me to buy a few baked cakes.
In the evening, Rui Wei wanted to see the coffin in the broken house as usual, and he didn't agree with me to follow him, so I had to stay in my own hut and stay bored.
After lying down for a while, I felt a little drowsy just now, and heard a slight footstep in the yard.
I wondered to myself, why did I come back after only a while? He stood up and walked to the door, wanting to open the door and say hello to Rui Wei.
As soon as the door opened, I could already see a figure in the courtyard. Thin and tall, wearing a black tights, and covering his head and face with a black cloth, he is not Rui Wei at all, and he is not a good kind at first glance!
I saw that after he entered the courtyard, he looked around a little, and then walked gently towards the room where Rui was worried in the main house.
If I were him, I probably wouldn't have come to see the dilapidated house I'm in now, who would have thought that there would be a person living in this kind of house that looks like it's about to collapse? I remained silent, leaning quietly against the door, watching his movements through the cracks.
There was no light in Rui Wei's house, so he went to the door to look first, probably not wanting to trespass, so he went to the window again, stretched out his hand and poked it, and leaned over to look inside.
Alas, speaking of which, this ancient window is really given for free, not to mention the thief, even if a flying insect is faster, it will be broken. Rui worries that a girl's family lives in this kind of house, it's really unsafe! Fortunately, she is not bad, if the other party breaks in early, who will be unlucky in the end!
But anyway, Rui Wei is not at home now, almost all the walls of her house are empty, there is nothing valuable, I think this thief will not be blind, he has to stay here, and if he retreats early, grandpa will not pursue you to disturb my sleep!
He looked at it for a long time, and seemed to see that there was no one in the house. Standing up, he seemed to hesitate slightly, turned around and saw my straw hut, and actually walked over slowly.
That's weird! If you are here for money, and you should go into the house to see when you see that people are not there, why do you still think of coming to see this dilapidated house? And this room is already old and ventilated on all sides, so it doesn't look like it can hold anything valuable.
There is only one possibility, he is not here for money, but for people!
He took a few steps back and grabbed the pitchfork standing by the wall. The common people here are not very rich, if you are a gentleman on the beam and ask for money, I don't blame you, if you are interested in people, then you can't ignore it, I have to arrest you and eliminate harm for the people!
I pricked up my ears and listened carefully, and the sound of his footsteps disappeared when he reached the door of the hut, and I guess he was looking through the crack in the door.
When the opportunity came, I lifted my fork and slammed the broken door with the handle, and suddenly the door opened outwards and hit something, and then there was a muffled grunt.
It was too late, but it was too fast, and I jumped out of the door with an arrow step, and when I turned around, I poked the fork handle at the black shadow on the ground!
I thought that if I poked my chest like this, anyone would have to be in pain and couldn't move for a long time, so I could ask with peace of mind. I didn't use the tip of the fork, and I didn't want to accidentally poke him to death, and I would be in trouble.
Unexpectedly, the man reacted very quickly, rolled on the spot to dodge my attack, and then jumped up, jumped backwards continuously, and exited a few meters away!
Now I have lost the initiative, in the opponent's ability is unknown, and even who it is, if I fight like this, I really don't dare to guarantee the chance of winning, but it's already like this, if I'm a big man shouting for help or running away to find Rui Wei, then where will this face be in the future?
But seeing that he was just standing, he didn't mean to rush over, but he didn't rush to run away like an ordinary thief, and I guess he was probably also assessing the situation on the battlefield at this time.
There are only two possibilities for his performance: first, his strength is not strong, and he doesn't know my situation, so he doesn't want to fight rashly and lose the upper hand; Second, the purpose of his coming here has not been achieved, so he does not want to make a big fuss, and he cannot easily leave.
In either case, bluffing is undoubtedly the best countermeasure!
I immediately threw my fork to the ground and shouted, "Brother, I wonder what you are doing with your late night visit?" If it's just a difficult life in order to ask for a small fortune, you can come openly another day, my young lady is a kind-hearted person, and she will definitely help where she can help! If it is for other purposes, I advise you to turn back, lest my young lady be annoyed, and you will have to walk around without eating! ”
put Rui Wei on the table because she is more famous than me, and her skills must be well-known, and it is good to intimidate him.
Who knew that it would be better not to say this, but as soon as I finished speaking, the man's figure moved, and he approached me quickly.
As soon as I saw that this battle was inevitable, I quickly picked up my fork and waved it in the direction he came. Because the fork was heavier, my body seemed to be a little uncooperative, and the speed was very slow, so he dodged it with a slight dodge, and then took advantage of my sideways efforts to quickly approach, and a hand was already grabbing my left shoulder.
I stretched out my left arm to block, and when it collided with his arm, I only felt that his arm was like an iron bar, and it shook my arm! I cried out in my heart: It seems that I haven't exercised much in my life, so how can I mix it up after I can't help it?
Since I could not rely on strength but only skill, I began to evade his attack as much as possible by means of defuse, and used every possible opportunity to attack his eyes, ears, and throat. I felt like I had been fighting with him intermittently for more than ten minutes, and no one took advantage of him.
That said, I was already feeling a little out of breath, my movements were starting to get sluggish, and I couldn't help but think about finding a way to end this protracted battle. Unexpectedly, the other party had already come close to me, strangled my neck from behind with his right arm, and his breathing instantly became embarrassed, and he wanted to pull his arm away, but he couldn't pull it at all.
At this critical moment, with a burst of coquettishness: "What person? Rui Wei, dressed in red, rushed into the courtyard.
