Chapter 45: Tricking a Good Helper
Lin Yuan saw that there was almost nothing to do with him now, so he casually found an excuse to go out, and the two doctors in the hall also left, and in an instant, only Mu Jingru, Zhang Shopkeeper and a young Chinese medicine doctor were left in the Ji Medicine Hall.
Mu Jingru took a small stool for herself and sat at the entrance of the hall, now it has entered May, and it has been sunny recently, and the temperature is slowly rising. Mu Jingru always felt that when it was near dusk, blowing a cool breeze and scooping a watermelon with a spoon to eat it was the most suitable for such weather.
One noon, I was in a daze in Mu Jingru, chatting with the shopkeeper Zhang, and sending trouble to the little Chinese medicine doctor.
Soon it was afternoon, but strangely it was busy in the morning, and it was very idle in the afternoon, but if you really want to talk about it, there is nothing strange about it, the business of the pharmacy is good and bad, and it is impossible to have so many patients waiting for you to see a doctor all the time.
In recent years, there have been few conflicts between the Roten Kingdom and other countries, and occasionally some of the belligerent Helian people will try to provoke a war on the border, but they will only be suppressed by the soldiers stationed on the border of the Roten Country after a few troubles, and they will not be able to set off any big waves.
Therefore, the country is stable and the people are peaceful, resulting in the inns in the imperial city no longer need so many, so ...... As soon as the new emperor succeeded to the throne, he announced the demolition of the redundant inns, and everything related to it, such as inns, could not be spared, and many shopkeepers were dissatisfied with this decree, so they simply agreed to move a piece to the side of the imperial city.
That's why there is only one inn in this huge imperial city. And the owners of the twelve inns are not so stupid. Letting go of this good opportunity to make money because of anger? How can it be!
In the end, except for these twelve inns, the rest moved to various towns near the imperial city, and now, when various competitions are held in the imperial city every year, the twelve inns are full of money.
But there are fewer inns, but there are more pharmacies, resulting in a "pharmacies" wind formation, since the new emperor ascended the throne, there have been almost twenty years, the new emperor has become the old emperor, but this inn is still only one, the competition between pharmacies is becoming more and more intense, many blindly follow the trend, and now it is already empty buildings.
And the reason for the formation of that no-man's land, that's it.
After listening to what the shopkeeper Zhang said, Mu Jingru nodded suddenly with realization: "So that's the case, I'll just say that this imperial city is a little strange, it turns out that the problem is here...... So, Uncle Zhang, how many families are left that haven't moved away now? ”
"About three or four, there aren't many left, anyway. If one day this business can't be operated, then I'll go to live in a no-man's land and spend the rest of my life. ”
"Uncle Zhang is not leaving the imperial city?"
"Don't leave. This is my father's shop, and my father is here, so I have to accompany him. ”
"Uncle Zhang's father?"
“…… In the coffin. ”
"Huh? Sorry, sorry! I don't know......" was interrupted before he finished speaking, "I don't blame you, after all, I'm still a child, Tong Yan Wuji." ”
Mu Jingru looked at Zhang Wan, who couldn't wait to get as far away from her as possible, so she sneered: Children? So what are you doing sitting so far away......
Lin Yuan watched the two of them chatting boringly, yawning on the side, looking sleepy and unable to raise his head, at this time a doctor stepped into the hall, Lin Yuan instantly refreshed, sat up straight, but the patient was startled.
The patient forgot that he was still crossing the threshold, and walked directly inside, this time, he almost fell a big fall, but fortunately, Zhang Wanyan was quick and stepped forward to help him, so the matter passed in the shopkeeper's repeated apologies.
Although the patient was dissatisfied, he couldn't say anything more, muttered a few words, and then stopped.
Mu Jingru glared at Lin Yuan, how could this guy make trouble for her.
Lin Yuan received her gaze, "cut", and sat on the seat again and dozed off.
Mu Jingru saw that he had no energy all afternoon, and couldn't help but feel strange, and was about to step forward to take a look, when he saw the shopkeeper handing over the prescription, Mu Jingru quickly dispensed the medicine after the shopkeeper read it again, and handed the medicine bag to the patient with a smile a few minutes later: "I wish you a speedy recovery." ”
The patient hurriedly thanked him, forgetting his previous unhappiness.
Mu Jingru watched the man walk out of the medicine hall, walked quickly to Lin Yuan, hesitated, and stepped forward to check his body temperature, uh......
The temperature seems to be a little high, wind chill and fever? Mu Jingru looked at the weather outside, the sun is shining, and the weather is not cold...... Wait, this can't be a heat stroke, right? Mu Jingru silently felt the wind mixed with a hint of heat blowing into the hall, this weather is not hot......
After taking the pulse again, Mu Jingru was speechless, it seemed that this symptom was really similar, and she frowned and asked, "Hey, there was just cold water in the hall, do you want to drink it?" ”
"Drink...... What are you doing so close to me?! Lin Yuan looked at the face in front of him and was taken aback, and Mu Jingru was so shocked by him that he felt a little headache, so he simply slapped him on the head unceremoniously, "Can you not be so scary?" You're so timid, are you still a gentleman? ”
Seeing that the other party yawned again, not taking her words seriously at all, Mu Jingru couldn't help but roll her eyes and continued to ask, "Are you feeling dizzy now?" Still a little chest tightness and shortness of breath? ”
Lin Yuan answered lazily and asked, "Did you say hello, I'll continue to sleep." ”
"Don't sleep here, go into the hall and sleep, hurry."
"Oh." Watching Linyuan move into the back hall like a ball of cotton, I don't know why, Mu Jingru looked a little like laughing. didn't care about the shopkeeper's strange eyes, but took a cup of hot water into the back hall and gave it to Linyuan, who expected that he would refuse to drink it, and insisted on drinking cold water, and Mu Jingru, who was tossing, lost his patience.
"Okay, if you don't drink it, then I'll pour it for you." Mu Jingru smiled brightly.
Lin Yuan glanced at her twice, snatched the cup and drank it all, and asked, "Okay, right?" ”
"Ah, there's still a pot of lukewarm, come, keep drinking, and go back to sleep after drinking." Mu Jingru smiled and took out a pot of water from her back.
“……”

Mu Jingru opened the window of the back hall, although the wind was a little hot, but it was more cool, and the original cold was blown cool by the wind. Mu Jingru stood here, a little reluctant to leave, but the shopkeeper in front of the hall was calling her again, and Mu Jingru could only resign herself to her fate and walked out.
Alas, really, it would be nice if she also had a heat stroke. Forget it, no matter if it's a big or small illness, as long as it's a disease, it's not a good thing, and it's not worth being happy about.
The time quickly slipped into the evening, and a remnant of the sun outside had not yet set, looking at the people standing outside the hall, Mu Jingru's indifferent face finally had a smile.
Mu Jingru turned around and entered the hall and removed the water bag from the source of Lin, because ice was too expensive and difficult to buy, so she could only use the cheapest water.
…… This man is really asleep, and he is not guarded at all. After Mu Jingru begged the shopkeeper to wake him up, he walked to the front hall and said to her, "Go, go home." ”
