After listening to this story, I couldn't help but feel a little gloomy in my heart, and at the same time, I was vaguely worried about the fat man, worried that he would suffer the terrible five evils and three shortcomings because of it.

"A dead egg is facing the sky, not dead and alive for 10,000 years, afraid of an egg, Lao Tzu believes that God has eyes, and will not split a good person like me" The fat man is very free and easy, not as frightened as me.

"It's just that the forbidden needles in the thirteen needles of this ghost gate are really used sparingly, not to mention the reincarnation path of the spirit body and foreign body, even the host's body will be harmed, the strong physique is fine, after being driven away, it will be weak for a period of time, and the weak physique will not be able to make up for it for a long time." The fat man sighed again.

He took out his pen and notepad, sat in his chair and thought for a long time, and then wrote down a prescription.

"Fatty, what are you doing here? Medicinal methods and acupuncture methods are used together, do you treat Shishi's illness? I asked curiously

The fat man shook his head and said, "This prescription is for Shishi's body." Then he seemed to remember something, put down the pen and turned his head to ask me, "By the way, do you have any money, I don't have it." ”

I dug into my pockets, and there were about a hundred or so dollars.

"It's only more than a hundred, I'm afraid it's not enough!" The fat man shook his head

I:...... Ya, the delicacies of the mountains and seas or traditional Chinese medicine you prescribe, more than 100 yuan is not enough to pick up two doses?

"You know Mao, there are a few flavors of medicinal materials in my medicine that are more expensive, and they cost dozens of yuan a gram in the mainland, what do you say about Macau?" The fat man raised the prescription and gave me a blank look.

"Then what should I do now, I only have more than 100 yuan on me, so I can't go back to the hotel to get it!" I was speechless

The fat man rolled his black eyes and thought about it, then smiled and pointed to the room: "Hehe, isn't there a local tyrant there?" ”

"it...... Why did I borrow it, you wrote the prescription. I clenched my fists and was reluctant to protest at the fat man, but the protest was very weak, and I was pulled out of the room by the fat man, kicked hard and kicked into the room.

With a bang, I staggered into the room, where the three people in the room were carefully taking care of Shishi around the head of the bed, and when they heard the sound, they all looked at me in unison.

"Hey...... What, Yirong, I have something to look for you. I was so restless that I stuttered for a while, and then I said this sentence in a slur manner.

Yao Yirong followed me out of the room, blinking her big eyes and asking me curiously, "What's the matter, so mysterious." ”

I touched the back of my head, and my two thumbs swirled up and down around my waist: "I...... I...... I, what's that, it's just that I don't have enough money for medicine and want to borrow it...... Borrow points. "When I borrowed the words, I was relieved and relieved. Emma, this is really not easy to accept with a woman's job of borrowing money

"That's all there is to it, you said it earlier," Yao Yirong very readily took out a stack of banknotes from his backpack and stuffed them in front of me.

I...... Looking at the small stack of red banknotes in my hand, I couldn't help but sigh: "I heard that the local tyrant is such a loser"

Then I glanced at Yao Yirong again, and asked her very curiously and cautiously: "Alas, have you ever smashed someone with money before, did you feel very happy when you smashed someone, did you have a connection and a climax, and a more trendy orgasm......"

"Get out of ......" Yao Yirong blushed and kicked at me hard, but fortunately I was agile and dodged in time.

It is said that men should not be cheap, and the mouth is immediately struck by lightning, and now I find that my character is getting closer and closer to the fat man...... Therefore, when I was cheap, this retribution came immediately.

After I flashed a kick, Yao Yirong's fist immediately came with my foot, and this time I couldn't dodge back, and was hit on the bridge of the nose by her pink fist.

"Make your mouth twitch......" Yao Yirong snorted, ran into the room, and slammed the door shut, leaving me squatting on the ground alone to cry without tears.

Uncle, I don't have to beat my nose if my mouth is twitched, every time it's like this, you leave some dignity for my nose.

"Haha......" The fat man laughed happily as he clutched his stomach in the room.

"Laugh at your sister, grab the medicine" I glared at him viciously and threw the money into his hand.

"Hehe, okay, don't say it, let's grab the medicine!" Although he didn't say it, the fat man still licked his lips very unsatisfactorily, and whispered to himself obscenely: "I really can't imagine that you are still worth some money, if it were me, I really can't give this price." ”

Me: "............"

Resisting the idea of beating the fat man up, I dragged him out of the house. I'm afraid that when I go out with the fat man, there will be other lonely ghosts to make trouble. Before coming out, he deliberately left Grandma Red in the house.

After taking the money, the fat man and I didn't dare to hesitate at all, and went out to the alley to find a pharmacy on the street, but I don't know why, although there are many pharmacies on the street, all of them sell Western medicine, and there is no Chinese medicine shop at all.

"What the hell, why don't pharmacies in Macau sell Chinese medicine" Under the hot sun, I swallowed my saliva.

"It seems that there is a room, and it looks like it sells traditional Chinese medicine." The fat man wiped the sweat from his forehead and pointed to a shop around the corner

I looked along the place of the fat man's fingers, saw a pharmacy with a classical style, walked in, the plaque on it said three words Hongjitang, a look at the name, I couldn't help but be a little overjoyed, from the layout and name, this is clearly an elderly shop, such a shop, most of them have medicinal materials to sell, maybe the owner of the pharmacy is still an old Chinese medicine doctor.

The fat man and I walked in, and sure enough, on the left side of the pharmacy, there were many medicine cabinets, and next to me stood an old man in his fifties and sixties, wearing a pair of reading glasses, who was tinkering with common medicinal materials such as codonopsis and wolfberry on the table.

I handed the prescription to the old man and told him to pick up two doses of .......

The old man picked up the prescription and looked at it, then shook his head and handed it back to me.

"I can't pick up this prescription, I don't have all the medicine here, and I don't have antelope horns and ephedra!"

"What's not...... The medicine cabinet behind you obviously has the names of these two medicines, don't blame the two of us! I pointed to the many medicine cabinets behind the old man, two of which had two large notes on them, one for ephedra and one for antelope horn.

"Not really...... The medicine cabinet was empty" The old man saw that I didn't believe it, so he pulled the drawer with these two flavors of medicine attached, and sure enough, there was nothing in it, it was empty.

"Old shopkeeper, I said that your pharmacy is not doing business like this, right? Ephedra and antelope horn are very common medicines, why don't you pharmacies even prepare for this, isn't this the rhythm of preparing for closing......" The fat man was a little dissatisfied with the professional attitude of this pharmacy.

The old man who was sorting out the medicinal materials raised his head, glanced at us with cloudy eyes, and then lowered his head and sighed sadly: "It's closed, sooner or later, it's going to be closed?" ”

"Oh......" The old man's words aroused a strong curiosity in the hearts of me and the fat man, and these simple words seemed to contain other charms.

"By the way, old man, why are there so few pharmacies on this street, I came from the street and only saw you? Nothing else. "I wonder if the scarcity of this pharmacy has something to do with the old man's sigh? Could it be that these pharmacies have been suppressed by the underworld and can't be opened?

Hearing my inquiry, the old man sighed undeniably, he glanced at us, and said with a wry smile: "Nowadays, everyone thinks that the efficacy of Chinese medicine is slow, that it is troublesome and expensive, and that they all take Western medicine when they are sick, so how can anyone still come to buy Chinese medicine." ”

"That's right, Chinese medicine is bitter after all, how many young people nowadays can suffer from it." The old man laughed at himself again, he picked up the recipe and looked at it again, and then said to us: "There is no ephedra, ephedra does, antelope horn is too expensive, almost 100 yuan a gram, I am afraid that no one will buy it, and in the end the medicine is wasted, so I did not stock it, but we have a few medicinal herbs similar to the antelope horn medicine." ”

"Okay...... You can bring us ephedra, as for the antelope horns, also change" The fat man immediately decided.

The old man's movements were not ambiguous at all, although he was old, he could see that he was quite experienced, and he could get it in more than twenty minutes with one prescription and two doses of medicine.

"The medicine is ready, you can take it...... I'll be closed in a few days, and you'll have to run an extra street if you want to pick up medicine again, and there's a long-established store there, and although the business is pretty bleak, the old guy has more savings than I do, and he can last a little longer. The old man handed the two of us the medicine bags he had picked up, and after receiving the money, he didn't say more, and continued to keep his head down and tinker with the medicinal materials in the newspaper, his eyes were full of love and pity, and he looked at the medicinal materials with his eyes, even like he was looking at his own children.

When we walked out of the pharmacy, I casually looked back and saw the old man take off his heavy reading glasses and quietly wipe a handful of tears.

Looking at the bustling city and the bustling crowds, the contrast between the old and bleak pharmacy and the bustling street.

"Fatty, you say, is Chinese medicine really in decline? Will the medical skills of the mountain phase doctor be eliminated by the society? "In my heart, it's very uncomfortable.
