I don't have much of a feeling for the so-called century-old pharmacies nowadays. Although I admire Chinese medicine, I admire those old Chinese medicine practitioners who are serious, not just a random table, and a sign is placed on the table, and the senior old Chinese medicine doctor is written on it. Most of the brands of traditional Chinese medicine have been smashed by such guys. Nowadays, medicine is developed, and the kind of pharmacy that still has a guy to grab medicine is really rare. So I asked Sister Zhou, where is the location of the pharmacy at this address? Sister Zhou said that she knew the way, and then told us how to go.

I picked up a jujube and wrapped it in a tissue. After knowing the truth, I really didn't want to touch it directly with my hands. Then he said to Hu Zongren Let's go, go to the pharmacy and ask. Then I told Sister Zhou, don't touch this rope array and compress I put on the ground, if Mr. Zhang comes to find dates to eat later, don't stop him, since it is now determined that he is a ghost, unless it is not afraid of pain, then it will not dare to touch this thing. After Sister Zhou agreed, Hu Zongren and I went out.

Because I am not familiar with the place, even if Sister Zhou told us how to go, I still stopped and asked for directions. Suining City is not big, but even so, it took me a lot of time. Suining, like many expanding cities, is divided into a new city and an old city, and unfortunately this pharmacy happens to be located in the old city. The road in the old city is relatively narrow, and there are many pedestrians on the road, so I didn't dare to honk my horn all the way because I was still worried that I would be beaten, so when Hu Zongren and I arrived at the pharmacy, it was already close to four o'clock in the afternoon.

I know that we will definitely not be able to go back today, because in addition to the time of the investigation, there is also the time for Hu Zongren to send his soul, even if everything goes well, it is estimated that it will be very late to finish, so along the way, I am still looking at where there are hotels that look cleaner. When I arrived at the pharmacy, there were not many customers in the store, and there were two guys grabbing medicine at the counter, one was older and the other was slightly younger. The young one was still busy weighing the herbs, then put them into a paper medicine bag, folded them into a small square very skillfully, and then put them in a plastic bag and handed them to the customers waiting outside. The older guy was not very busy because of the small number of people, so he sat on a small bench near the inside of the store and fanned to rest.

Hu Zongren said to me, that little brother is still busy, and the old one is dozing off again, who should we ask? I said of course I was asking about the age, when I could sleep, we couldn't afford to delay. After finishing speaking, Hu Zongren asked me to hand him the date, and then he walked to the counter and shouted at the dozing guy, Hey, master, please come and help.

The guy was a little reluctant to get up and walk up to us, and there was a glass counter between us and him, and there were many small trays in the counter, which were full of neatly arranged medicinal herbs, such as centipedes, geckos, cicadas, etc. It looks disgusting, but it's all good medicine. He asked us what was the matter, Hu Zongren opened the paper wrapped in dates, did you sell this thing here?

When the guy saw it, he immediately boasted and said, of course, now in the entire Suining City, there are very few pharmacies that catch medicine, and there are even fewer yin dates for sale, and he also emphasized that these goods are all high-quality, eat one pill a day, that is really exciting! When he said the word "energetic", he added an accent and gritted his teeth, which made me feel how energetic he was, as if he himself used this as a meal all day long. However, he can recognize it at a glance, which means that this person is either a medicine that has been in the pharmacy for many years, or he knows the goods himself and has a certain amount of pharmacological knowledge.

Hu Zongren smiled stupidly and said, yes, yes, we just think this thing is very useful, and we plan to come to you to take a look, and then choose some, you can show us your current inventory again. The guy said that this yin jujube is not easy to raise, so the quantity is very small, so the price is not cheap. Hu Zongren said, it's okay, you came with money, it's not interesting for you to tell me this. Hu Zongren is more ruffian than me by nature, and when talking to these people in the market, he seems to have no sense of distance than me, probably because that guy thinks Hu Zongren is an insider, so he turned to the row of small drawers full of all kinds of medicine prices, took out a drawer, and put it in front of me and Hu Zongren. I took a closer look, and the drawer was full of dates, needless to say, they must all be yin dates, at least most of them, and it is inevitable that there will be indiscriminate filling.

The color size and saturation all look similar, so it's hard for us to tell the difference. So Hu Zongren said to me, take your compass and take a look. I glared at him and said, "You're crazy, there are so many people here." Hu Zongren said What are you afraid of, you dare to buy yin dates, don't you dare to check and check. The guy heard us say that he wanted to check, and then immediately bragged, what to check, we are all good goods, we can only get a dozen in a month, and if you are far away, you may have to go to Chengdu to collect it, and you may not be able to receive it!

I asked the guy, where did you get all these yin dates? The guy said he didn't know much about this, and he had to ask the doctor in the store. I pointed to the old man at the door, who was pretending to be a doctor, and asked the man, "Is that the doctor you are talking about?" The guy smiled and said, that's not, it was the doctor who invited him to sit in the hall, and he would order a simple pulse or something, and he didn't dare to take medicine. I smiled and said, it's easy to take the pulse, and people who don't have a little effort can't learn it. When he said this, Hu Zongren suddenly reached out and grabbed my wrist, and then jokingly said, Oh, the queen, you are a happy vein~ Ha Lu Ha ~ Except for the last few times he couldn't hold back his laughter, his tone was very much like that of a eunuch. I quickly broke his hand away, knowing that his hand had touched the yin jujube. The guy looked at it and thought it was funny, and then he asked us, who are the two of you who want to use this yin date? I paused for a moment, and then said to him, you misunderstood, we are not that kind of relationship... Thinking about it, it didn't seem like anything I explained to him, but it was easy to get darker and darker, so I didn't say anything. I asked the shopkeeper, can I meet your boss, the doctor you said. The guy looked at me suspiciously and said, aren't you here to buy yin dates, what are you doing seeing him? As a guy, this guy obviously talked a little too much, so I started to get a little impatient, turned out my bag, took out the compass and some charms in the bag, put it on the counter and asked him, look at what this is, do you know what we do, you sell the yin dates here and someone has a problem eating them, so I'm going to ask your boss to see how to solve this matter.

The guy froze for a moment, but soon he said, "I don't know Tarzan with my eyes, so wait a minute, and I'll go in and tell the doctor." Before leaving, he also brought the whole drawer of yin dates into the inner hall. After a while, he came out and said to us, the boss said let you in, and when he came out, he didn't have the drawer in his hand, that is, he left the drawer with the boss.

When I entered the office, a middle-aged man who looked to be in his fifties and wore thick glasses looked at the two of us and said, "You two said that there is a problem with the yin dates in my store, what is the problem?" He still has a brush in his hand and is writing about the pharmacy. There is a clay statue of Hua Tuo in the corner of the office, and from the perspective of worshipping the gods, I think this Chinese medicine should be more reliable. So I said that there seems to be a bit of a problem with the origin of your yin bezoars, this is not your problem, we just want to find out where the people of this batch of yin bezoars you bought are. Because one of our customers ate the yin dates in your store and was taken by a female ghost.

The doctor stopped what he was doing, and then asked me, "How can this be?" Normally, when other doctors hear these words, they will usually express their suspicions first, but this doctor does not, as I said before, many old Chinese medicine practitioners have to worship God before they practice healing because of the inheritance. Because traditional Chinese medicine is a combination of the essence of witch doctors and Taoist doctors and developed to the present, many regular old Chinese medicine practitioners in the early years are still continuing to follow and inherit. So I told the doctor about the situation, and the doctor saw that we were telling us the truth, and he was probably a believer in it, so he began to notice that something was wrong.

There should still be some selfishness, if this matter is spread to let others know, and if the yin dates sold in their store are eaten to make people ghostly, then business will not be good in the future, let alone this kind of century-old store that cares about reputation very much. So he picked up the small drawer on the table that contained a lot of yin dates, walked up to us and said, are you saying that these yin dates are all problematic? Hu Zongren said, it's not all problematic, there must be only a small amount of ghosts, but we need to check it, and the part you have sold before this is probably not recovered, and I don't know who Lu Dao sold to. I understand what Hu Zongren means, he is saying that in addition to the Mr. Zhang we handled this time, there may be other people who have bought this strange yin date.

The doctor said that the yin jujube has not been selling very well in our place, so we don't buy much every time, and now the people who can accept this thing are only a few after all, and many people don't even know that this thing exists, so how can they buy it. But I really can't guarantee that anyone else has bought it except your client, so what can I do? I could see that he was really anxious, so I said to the doctor, this way, if you can contact the supplier for us, maybe we can find the root of the matter, at the moment my client is just a ghost, no longer himself, and there are no other symptoms of attacking people. I touched my nose as I said this, and it still hurt faintly.

The doctor said that the demand for yin jujube is small and relatively rare, and those girls must be willing to do it themselves. His supplier is a local woman in Suining, but she is in her forties, she said earlier that she can get a little bit every month, but in recent months I have not been able to receive the goods from her, out of stock for two months, and there is no contact.

I hurriedly asked, do you have the contact information of this woman? The doctor said, yes, this matter is so serious now, I'll take you to her when I close the shop.
