Chapter 22: A Chance Encounter

So a group of people were busy to the backyard, there are two rooms for storing goods, in order to prevent theft, the doors and windows are very strong, a few people sat down to talk, while listening to the movement outside, until noon, there is no change.

I urged the guy to watch it several times in a row, and finally brought good news.

"Gone, gone.." He shouted happily with his hands raised.

These words made several people breathe a sigh of relief.

"Really gone?" Lu Laosi asked again uneasily.

"Really," the man nodded his head off, "that's what I said, it's been a while, and the streets are open..."

Lu Laosi was completely relieved.

"Do those people harass you a lot? Collecting protection money or something? Liu Meibao asked with concern and sympathy.

"Not really." Lu Laosi shook his head, and asked her incomprehensibly, "What is protection money?" ”

"It's just to ask you for money, or I won't let you open a store." Liu Meibao said.

"That's not .." Lu Laosi said with a smile, "We are not salt merchants and salt dealers, and we don't have much intersection in our daily lives, but these murderers will never have an intersection..."

took the money and opened the door, Liu Meibao said goodbye, and walked out with Qingya, and sure enough, he saw that the street was back to its old scene, pedestrians walked slowly, and the beggars on the side of the street were also sitting in the corner again, shaking the empty bowl in their hands, and the shouting and shouting of the shop also rose and fell.

"Go back and tell the third lady that the three-flower cloth is very good, weave more." Lu Laosi instructed in the back.

Liu Meibao said that she knew, thanked the fourth child again, and went along the street with Qingya.

"Boss Lu is really a good person." Liu Meibao sighed.

In that situation, it can be seen that they are very scared, but they still open the door and pull the two of them in, if they are someone else, they will definitely not pay attention.

"Yes," Qingya nodded, "He also added soil to the graves of the lord and the lady..."

"Did he know us before?" Liu Meibao asked curiously.

Lu Laosi's business is not big, and it stands to reason that such a small business will not have anything to do with a county parent official.

"I don't know." Qingya shook her head and thought about it, "He only said in private that the master is a good official, and he will definitely be wronged in the future."

Liu Zhixian refused to die from the enemy, although the court's verdict completely negated his merits, but the truth is still very clear in the eyes of these ordinary people, Liu Meibao nodded and stopped asking.

As he spoke, he had already walked to Song Langzhong's pharmacy, looked up, and saw that there was only one customer in the store except for two guys, who was talking to Song Langzhong with his back to the door.

Liu Meibao's eyes swept over and didn't care, she raised her feet and entered the door, just in time to hear the man say a word.

“.... I saw a Lang Zhong before, and he also caught these talc and licorice, but he said that he would not call it Liuyisan..."

"That's weird... The little old man is lonely and unheard..."Song Langzhong frowned.

When Liu Meibao heard this, her heart moved, and she asked, "Is it called Yiyuansan?" ”

Hearing a sudden female voice, Song Langzhong and the man both looked over.

“... If you add cinnabar, it's called Yiyuansan..."Liu Meibao tilted her head slightly, and continued while thinking, "If you add Qingdai, it's jasper powder, and there is another kind, if you use mint leaf decoction as an introduction, it's called chicken Susan... I wonder if what the guest officer said is one of them? ”

She asked, but no one answered, and said that what she said was not right, and she raised her eyes to look over, and before she met, this person had turned around and was looking at herself blankly.

This is a tall young man, about twenty years old, with clear eyebrows, a slight stubble on his chin, and wearing half-worn short-placket clothes, which is the most ordinary countryman dress, but his eyes are bright, his expression is gentle, his clothes, shoes and socks are very clean, and he looks energetic.

"Is there too much medicine primer?" Liu Meibao asked again.

The young man just stared at her, as if stunned and did not answer.

This Liu Meibao's appearance is indeed good, plus most of the women walking on the street today are poor families, and their feminine characteristics have been erased by hard work, and Liu Meibao has been pampered for more than ten years, and it has only been a year since she left the Gaomen Deep Courtyard, and her face and demeanor are obviously different from other women on the street.

In other words, Liu Meibao now is like the modern beauty who walks on the street with a certain return rate and is quite eye-catching.

This young man was afraid that he suddenly saw a beautiful woman and lost his temper.

Liu Meibao couldn't help but smile.

She didn't feel anything wrong, Qingya and Song Langzhong on the side turned white.

How can anyone stare at a girl's house in such a daze!

Song Langzhong coughed.

Only then did the young man come back to his senses, and he noticed that he was abrupt, and hurriedly looked away.

Liu Meibao wanted to ask again, but was pulled by Qingya.

"This is the medicine this time, right?" Song Langzhong also hurriedly said, as if he deliberately prevented Liu Meibao from speaking again, and without waiting for her to answer, he poured out a string of money from the money bag and stuffed it to Qingya, "Just put it here..."

Qingya also understood, took the money and said thank you, then pulled Liu Meibao and left.

Liu Meibao saw that Song Langzhong had given him a farewell, so he nodded and returned the salute, and when he went out, he looked back and saw that the young man was staring at him directly.

Song Langzhong took a few steps to block the young man's sight by sending them off.

"So, bother the doctor." The young man turned his head and coughed slightly in embarrassment, then raised his head and said goodbye with a smile.

Song Langzhong didn't let go, although his expression was a little restrained, he still smiled.

“.. Just now, you said the medicine, why don't you talk about it in detail, I'm really curious, old man..."He said.

A smile appeared on the young man's lips, looking at Song Langzhong, who was blocking the door and refused to move.

His smile was gentle, with a hint of the simplicity peculiar to the villagers, but the legs of the guy standing against the counter on the side had begun to tremble.

"Okay." The young man nodded and said with a smile.

After talking about the time of a cup of tea, Song Langzhong said thank you to the young man, and instructed the guy who had already wrapped the medicine not to collect money.

The young man just smiled, took the medicine from the hand of the man who was obviously frightened, and at the same time put down a piece of broken silver, and then walked away.

After his figure disappeared into the hall for a while, Song Langzhong and the guy slowly exhaled, and the little guy simply sat on the ground.

"My mother, she almost scared me to death..."He wiped the sweat on his forehead with his sleeve, his voice trembled, and he looked at Song Langzhong, "Shopkeeper, why do you want to ask him about any prescriptions..."

Song Langzhong's face was also slightly pale at this time, sitting on the chair and gasping heavily, the hand on his lap unconsciously trembled slightly.

"You know what.." He said slowly, sighing softly, remembering that if that adult hadn't been for the safety of the people in the city, desperately blocking the enemy, his daughter would have been reduced to the point where people could look at it at will.

Song Langzhong picked up the cold tea on the table and took a big sip, breathing a sigh of relief with a little relief.
