Chapter 118: Pretending to be stupid
When Liu Zong's figure disappeared behind the door, Li Ding turned over and got out of bed. With a movement of his hand, a red light flashed, and the medical notebook was included in the Fire God Spirit Ring by him.
"How did you put in the Fire God Spirit Ring, what if he asked you?" Xiao Dan said.
"Didn't you hear him say that he asked me to keep it away and not let the third person know?" Li Ding said in his heart.
"Hee-hee. Xiao Dan smiled and said, "I see what you kid thinks, in addition to those strange pills in the notes, the content about the pharmacist is extremely detailed, and it is really useful to you." ”
"I know that I can't hide it from you, although I now have the best vitality of the dual surnames, it's always good to master more things. Li Ding said, and then put on his shoes and went out of the room.
To Li Ding's surprise, the scene in the pharmacy outside was completely beyond his appearance. I saw Liu once sitting at a wooden table near the door of the pharmacy, his eyes half-closed and contemplative, and opposite him sat a gray-haired old man. Outside the door, dozens of people are standing or sitting.
The big dog named Xuehu was lying at Liu Yi's feet, sleeping soundly, obviously it did its duty last night.
Li Ding looked at all this with some surprise, this was the first time he saw a real pharmacist treating people, and he couldn't help but step forward with curiosity for a while. I saw that the old man's face was painful, and Liu once the fingers of his right hand were slightly curled, resting on the old man's left hand vein, and he was carefully sensing the vibration of the old man's meridians.
From the medical books and pharmacopoeia he used to read, Li Ding had already learned that ordinary people's body organs have not been tempered by vitality, so they are naturally prone to injury and disease. However, although ordinary people do not have vitality in their bodies, if they have symptoms, they will cause changes in the vibrations of the meridians, just like the abnormality of the cultivator's vitality, and the pharmacist or alchemist can find out the cause of this change.
It's just that most of the people who choose to become pharmacists are not of high grade of Yuan Qi, and they don't have the Yuan Qi of the wood family and can't become an alchemist, and some of them are not even cultivators. This dooms the person who becomes a pharmacist to not have a high sense of soul power.
After about half an hour, Liu once let go of the old man's hand and said with a smile: "It's no big deal, it's still a chronic illness caused by your old injury, I'll prescribe a prescription for you, remember to take medicine on time." Also, don't go up the mountain, it's cold now, and it won't be good if you catch a cold again. As he spoke, Liu once began to write the prescription.
"Ahem...... Thank you, Mr. Liu. The old man coughed twice, thanked him, took the prescription that Liu had written, and stood up and walked to the corner of the pharmacy.
Li Ding turned his head to look, only to find that Liu Ling was there, only to see that after she took the prescription in the old man's hand, she began to take some herbs from the medicine shelf, poured them into the medicine mill and mashed them, wrapped them and handed them to the old man, and the old man gave Liu Ling a black round spar.
"Yuan coin?" Looking at the black spar, for a moment Li Ding actually remembered what he said in Jinguangmen, and he was not less worried about this black spar during that time, because all the food and clothing in Jinguangmen had to be exchanged for yuan coins.
Hearing Li Ding's voice, Liu Ling only glanced up at him, and then continued the work in his hand, but his mouth said: "I got up so late, and I said that I stayed to help, I don't think I can help anything." ”
Liu Ling's words made Li Ding stunned, remembering that he had indeed promised to be a helper before, so he had to smile bitterly and turn his head to look at Liu once again, and there happened to be another patient who took the prescription from his hand, Li Ding hurriedly stepped forward to take it on his behalf and walked towards the medicine shelf.
"Hundred-year-old red, Tianxing leaf, Voldemort Artemisia ......" Reading the names of the herbs on the prescription, Li Ding glanced at the medicine shelf, but only found Tianxing leaves, these are extremely ordinary herbs, he is not unrecognizable, as early as in the enchantment, he was familiar with his memory and the help of Xiaodan Xiaolong, but he didn't know where to put it for a while.
"I don't even know the herbs, so I'd better come. Liu Ling's voice sounded on the side, making Li Ding frown.
"The third grid on the left, the fourth square on the right ......" Just as Li Ding frowned, Xiao Dan's voice sounded in his mind, Li Ding did as he said, and soon gathered the herbs on the prescription, turned around and handed it to Liu Ling, who was slightly surprised.
Liu Ling took the herb, but pouted and said, "What's the use of just knowing, and if you don't plan the amount, I have to do it all over again." ”
Li Ding picked up the prescription again and looked at it, and sure enough, behind each herb, Liu once indicated the amount of medicine in small print, and couldn't help but smile and said, "Thank you for your advice, I'll pay attention next time." ”
"Hmph. Liu Ling snorted lightly, didn't say anything more, and turned around to tinker with the herbs.
Li Ding had to smile bitterly again, and when he turned around, he found that Liu once was looking at his side, but when he turned around, he immediately returned to a half-closed eye.
"The surname Liu has been secretly observing you, so it seems that you should not be too shrewd. Dan's voice rang out.
Li Ding's heart sank, secretly proclaimed that he was, pretending to be unaware, and continued to take the prescription from the patient's hand and began to select herbs from the medicine shelf, but there were a few times when he deliberately chose the wrong herbs, but he was met with a few words and a few blank eyes by Liu Ling, and Liu once never said anything.
This lasted for almost four hours, except for a meal and rest for a while, until it became dark, and Liu once saw all the patients, and began to pack up his things with a tired face.
Although Liu Ling's temper was a little strong, he was also familiar with Li Ding after getting along for a day, and Li Ding lost no time in asking some questions in his heart.
"There are so many patients every day, I think your father is tired enough. Li Ding asked as he helped sort out the herbs.
"It's not really exhausting to death every day, only every Friday and every tenth day of the month Daddy opens outpatient clinics, and usually has to go up the mountain to collect medicine. Today is the tenth day of the new year, and I never thought that such a person would come. Liu Ling said with a displeased face.
Looking at Liu Ling's face, it seemed that everyone owed her something except for a smile in front of Liu Yi. However, Li Ding didn't care, and asked again: "I see that all the patients are given yuan coins, today's income should be quite a lot, right?" I don't know how many gold coins I have to bring to Nanming Wangcheng?"
Unexpectedly, as soon as Li Ding's words came out, Liu Ling's face changed suddenly, he looked at Li Ding with a resentful look, and said angrily: "What do you mean, you also think my father is a fool when you say this, don't you?"
Liu Ling's unprovoked anger made Li Ding stunned suddenly, according to his thoughts, a gold coin can only be exchanged for five yuan coins in Jinguangmen, and in turn, the value of one coin can be imagined, Li Ding naturally thinks that Liu Yi's income on this day is extremely considerable, but he doesn't know why Liu Ling suddenly became angry.
"Okay, okay, it's not worth it to be angry about this kind of thing again, what's wrong with your father and I'm a fool?" On the side, Liu once heard the noise and said.
"Daddy. Liu Ling stomped his feet and said slightly angrily: "It's better not to charge the consultation fee of one yuan coin for one medicine, if we don't go up the mountain to collect medicine ourselves, this money is not enough to buy medicine." You don't know how many people have been cured in the past few years, but I haven't seen a few people who really think about you, some of them...... What do some people say behind their backs...... It's not that you don't know. ”
As he spoke, Liu Ling's eyes suddenly turned red, as if he was about to burst into tears. Xuehu, who had been lying on the side, immediately trotted over, and Liu Ling lowered his head and stroked Xuehu's head.
Seeing this, Li Ding couldn't help but be stunned, and couldn't help but look at Liu You, but saw that his face was also gloomy, so he asked in a low voice: "Mr. Liu, is it ...... Isn't the yuan worthless?"
Hearing this, Liu once the father and daughter opened their mouths slightly, and they all stared at Li Ding with an idiotic look, and after a while, Liu Ling said angrily: "A gold coin can be exchanged for a thousand yuan coins, what do you say?"
This time, it was Li Ding's turn to open his mouth wide, and he didn't know what to do for a while, and finally calmed down his surprised mood, he understood why Liu Ling was angry, according to this algorithm, Liu Ding didn't even receive a tenth of the gold coins at the end of the day.
"I'm sorry, I don't know ......" Shocked, Li Ding was about to explain, but Liu once waved his hand and said: "Don't say anything, this kind of talk will end soon." With that, he turned and walked towards the outside of the pharmacy.
Hearing this, Li Ding's heart was cold, and he immediately understood what Liu once said this, and couldn't help but turn his head and look at Liu Linghou and followed with interest.
After leaving the pharmacy and walking to Liu Yi's side, Li Ding also said with a straight face: "This is the matter, where is Mr. Liu going to go? Wang Cheng...... Or ......"
Liu once did not answer Li Ding immediately, but looked at the mountain peaks in the distance with a wry smile. There, the last rays of light brought by the setting sun are slowly disappearing.
"Deliberately choose the wrong herb, and want to set Ling'er's words, in fact, you don't need to pretend to be stupid in front of me, I said little brother, you are a smart person, don't do these meaningless things anymore, knowing too many things is not good for you. The faint words came from Liu Yi's mouth.
Li Ding didn't expect that his previous intentional or unintentional actions would be misunderstood like this, but he said calmly: "I'm not as powerful as Mr. Liu thought, maybe my guarantee is not worth a penny, but what I said will never be broken, I just heard Liu Ling mention Nanming Wangcheng, and I also want to go there, so ......"
"I suddenly felt like I shouldn't have saved you, or that I should have killed you last night. Liu once said suddenly.
These words made Li Ding's heart tremble, and then he chuckled: "It's a pity that Mr. Liu, you are definitely not such a person, but I am indeed a little curious, in fact, with my strength, I can't threaten Mr. Liu to do things at all, but why do you want to keep me, and ...... That medical notebook ......"
Li Ding finally asked the question in his heart in front of Liu You, but Liu once looked at the young man in front of him whose surname did not match his age at all, but there was an inexplicable chill flashing in his eyes.
"You ......" Liu stopped talking and was about to say something more, when suddenly there was a sound of scattered footsteps from the side. (To be continued.) )
