Chapter 2 It is better to seek heaven and earth than to seek yourself
Fang Ning left the military veterary's house, and at the last moment, he didn't know what Gu Tiannan was going to give him, and after Gu Tiannan said that, he never mentioned this matter again.
Could it be that the image of the water mirror? Fang Ning knew that Gu Tiannan had a water mirror, which could stimulate the illusion of the water mirror, and transform an image of a beautiful woman with a size of five inches on top of the water mirror.
The woman's image is lifelike, beautiful to the limit, Gu Tiannan looks at it for a full day, but every time he watches it, he gets angry and angry, beats and scolds people, which is also one of the reasons why he is short-tempered.
Fang Ning guessed that this woman should be his lover, maybe because of her, Gu Tiannan never married, and finally died in the old army.
With questions, Fang Ning received today's nurse's payment, a silver dollar, and left the military nursing home, he went straight to the market in Kezhou City and came to the door of a pharmacy.
Fang Yuan Pharmacy, although among the pharmacy shops in Kezhou City, is not one of the best pharmacy, but Fang Ning likes to buy medicine here, because the boss Mu Ying is very fair, the price is reasonable, and he never kills customers, and their family's ancestral Qingfeng Pure Medicine Technique can make the medicinal effect of medicinal materials to the limit, which is three points stronger than the medicinal materials of other medicine shops.
The most important thing is that this is the only place where Fang Ning can owe money for the medicine on credit, and sometimes when Fang Ning's hands are not green, this is the only place where he can get Snow Bird's Nest.
Snow bird's nest is a high-grade tonic, which can supplement various nutrients for patients with weak bodies, and Fang Ning's mother relied on the nourishment of snow bird's nest to survive to this day.
Entering the pharmacy, Fang Ning was still the same as before, walked to the counter, nodded at the shopkeeper Mu inside, and said, "Uncle Mu, please bring me a silver dollar snow bird's nest......"
Before Fang Ning could finish speaking, the chubby shopkeeper Mu who was sitting at the counter interrupted him and said:
"Xiao Ningzi, what else do you want to buy snow bird's nest, today the imperial divine doctor Xiao Xuexian passed by Kezhou City, free free consultation for seriously ill patients in Tongrentang, go home and prepare, take your wife to line up early, she will leave tomorrow afternoon, the opportunity is rare." ”
Hearing this, Fang Ning's eyes suddenly lit up, his mother had been ill for almost two years, and her condition had become more and more serious in the past two years, and she spent almost a day in a coma, Fang Ning sold all the things in the family, even the ancestral house, and invited countless doctors, but she couldn't diagnose the cause, so she could only rely on snow bird's nest to maintain her life.
Unexpectedly, the divine doctor came here for free consultation today, it was really great news, Fang Ning was ecstatic in his heart, but he still said:
"Thank you, Uncle Mu, I know, give me a silver dollar snow bird's nest first, otherwise my mother will have nothing to eat tonight." ”
This is Fang Ning's character, even if things are urgent and chaotic, he can also be steady and quiet, unmoved by foreign affairs, this is also the self-character formed by Fang Ning in the two years of the military old people's home, getting along with those old people who have experienced countless bloody battles.
Mu Ying nodded secretly, what a young man, the sky is not shocked!
He shouted loudly to the back: "Snow bird's nest, a silver dollar, take the top grade." ”
This is the rule of the pharmacy, and with his shouting, the guy inside wrapped the snow bird's nest and handed it over.
Fang Ning took the snow bird's nest, said a few kind words to Uncle Mu, and then walked quickly towards home, it seems that he must go to the queue early tonight, so that he can have the opportunity to get the free consultation of the divine doctor Xiao Xuexian tomorrow morning.
Soon Fang Ning returned to a dilapidated alley, a dilapidated scene, and everywhere was in tatters. Fang Ning entered a bungalow in the alley, the house was not big, but it was a single courtyard, the iron gate was firm, it was very safe, and the rent was not expensive, this was the house he rented.
The small courtyard is not big, but it is very clean, push open the door, enter the house, and glance at his mother on the bed, Fang Ning couldn't help but feel hot in his eyes, and almost tears were about to fall, his mother's condition was getting worse and worse, and he was almost in a coma all day.
Aunt Zhang, who was hired on the side and took care of her mother, said: "Xiao Ning is back, today the sister-in-law of the Fang family woke up for an hour, her complexion was stronger than yesterday, and she ate a small bowl of bird's nest porridge. ”
Fang Ning said: "Thank you, Aunt Zhang, I have to trouble Aunt Zhang to help me sort it out, Boss Mu of Fangyuan Pharmacy said that the divine doctor Xiao Xuexian has arrived in our Kezhou City, I want to line up early tonight and ask her to diagnose for free." ”
Hearing Fang Ning's words, Aunt Zhang's face was a little weird, she glanced at Fang Ning's mother who was unconscious, gritted her teeth and said:
"Xiao Ning, your mother won't let us tell you!
This afternoon, your uncle got the news and went with me to take the Fang family's sister-in-law. Xiao Xuexian has already diagnosed the sister-in-law of the Fang family and prescribed a prescription, but after coming back, your mother tore up the prescription and didn't let us tell you. ”
Fang Ning was stunned for a moment, his heart was cold, and a bad feeling rose in his heart.
Aunt Zhang continued: "Your mother begs us not to tell you, but I think we have to tell you.
Here you go, this is your mother's recipe for shredding, she asked me to burn it, I stayed, I don't know how to read, you can see for yourself. ”
After speaking, Aunt Zhang took out a pile of shredded waste paper, and it had already been put together, Fang Ning saluted Aunt Zhang and said, "Thank you, Aunt Zhang." ”
He hurriedly picked up the spelled prescription and began to look at it in detail, on top of it was a row of gentle and beautiful small characters, the words were quite well written, flowing smoothly, and the pen was like a cloud.
"The patient is suffering from demonic fire attacking the heart, because his heart is depressed, extremely angry and sad, and he is injured by the fire of the external demon's heart, which leads to such an illness.
The treatment method is to take a Qingxin Pill every day when the morning sun rises, and for ten consecutive days, you can clear the demon fire and cure the disease.
Note that this patient has entered the advanced stage, it is best to take Qingxin Dan within one month, otherwise after one month, he will enter a serious condition, and there is no treatment, he will be completely unconscious, will not wake up again, and die after half a year. ”
Demon Fire Attack Heart Disease, Pure Heart Pill, a month later, death. After reading this prescription, Fang Ning was surprised and delighted, happy that his mother had been saved, and shocked that there was only one month left, and if he didn't save his mother, he would definitely die.
He carefully put away the prescription and said to Aunt Zhang: "Aunt Zhang, I'll go out to see the medicinal materials that can treat my mother's illness, and I have to trouble you to take care of it for a while." ”
Aunt Zhang immediately said: "Go, go, the Bodhisattva has eyes, I hope the sister-in-law of the Fang family will recover soon." ”
Fang Ning hurriedly rushed to Fang Yuan Pharmacy, Qingxin Pill, I don't know if Fang Yuan Pharmacy has it, if there is, how much money will be bought.
Seeing Fang Ning running back again, Uncle Mu was stunned for a moment and said, "Xiao Ningzi, is there something wrong?"
Fang Ning's face was full of excitement, and he shouted with great anticipation: "Uncle Mu, do you have a Pure Heart Pill here?"
Hearing the three words Qingxin Dan, Uncle Mu's expression changed, shook his head, and said:
"The Pure Heart Pill, taken during cultivation, can drive away the demons in the heart, it is a secret elixir, but I don't have it here. ”
When Fang Ning heard this, he hurriedly asked:
"Uncle Mu, do you know there?"
Uncle Mu replied:
"There are no pharmacies in Kezhou City, but in the Kezhou Auction House, there should be a Qingxin Pill, but Xiao Ningzi, you have to hold on, a Qingxin Pill is worth thirty gold. ”
As soon as he said this, Fang Ning's heart suddenly cooled, the gold yuan in circulation of the Golden Datou Tianluo Empire weighed about one tael, because the head of the saint on the top was protruding and vivid, so it was called Jin Datou by the common people.
In the empire, a hundred copper coins are worth a silver dollar, a hundred silver dollars are worth a gold head, a Qingxin Pill is a thirty gold head, and ten is a three hundred gold head, this is a huge number, and Fang Ning was suddenly stupid.
The prices of the Tianluo Empire were stable, a bun was worth three cents, a hundred catties of rice were worth twenty silver dollars, the sixteen-year-old beautiful virgin slave was only ten gold, and the Fang family's ancestral house was only sold for a thousand gold. Three hundred gold heads, Fang Ning needs to work in the military nursing home for 30,000 days, that is, eighty-two years, to save enough.
How Fang Ning left Fang Yuan's pharmacy, he didn't know, he sat on the bench on the street, silently in a daze, he stood up suddenly, and walked towards the center of Kezhou City, where the Kezhou auction house was located.
After a long time, Fang Ning walked out of the Kezhou auction hall in despair, and there was a Qingxin Pill in it, which was really worth thirty gold, and ten was three hundred gold, and the number like a mountain pressed on his body.
"What should I do? Three hundred gold, my mother only has a month, where should I go to find the three hundred gold?"
"Unwilling, so unwilling, if my father didn't have an accident, in the past, three hundred gold was nothing, but, but, I went there to find three hundred gold, I borrowed everything I could. ”
"It's not fair, my father saved 600,000 people, but he was sent to the border outside the territory, my mother has always been kind to people, and she helped countless people at the beginning, but why did she have to suffer like this. God, that's so unfair. ”
"What should I do, God, show me the way, as long as I can save my mother, even if I die, I am willing. ”
Unconsciously, Fang Ning walked in front of a huge building, and when he saw this building, suddenly Fang Ning was no longer depressed, his gaze gradually became firm, and he found a way.
This building is the martial arts arena in Kezhou City, in order to maintain the blood and fighting spirit of the people of the empire, there is a martial arts arena in each imperial city. Countless fighters, slaves, prisoners, prisoners of war, beasts, and demons fought bloody battles here, staging all kinds of bloody gladiatorial battles.
This is also the last way for the people of the empire to be cornered, such as owing usury, such as Fang Ning, who needs a huge amount of money, can sign up here to participate in gladiatorial battles, in the blood and sand, nine deaths, fighting the enemy to the death.
For victory, there is a large bonus, and for defeat, there is also a pension.
Seeing the martial arts arena, Fang Ning's hesitation and grief disappeared suddenly, and gradually the whole person became firm, his eyes revealed a kind of clarity, and gradually a momentum rose up in him.
"It turns out that God still left me a way, my father's sword is still at home, it is better to ask for heaven and earth, it is better to ask for myself, a sword in hand, I want to fight, I am the first place in the official martial arts hall every year, I have absorbed countless experiences of old soldiers, I may not necessarily lose.
Maybe nine deaths, but I still have to try, everything is on my own, as long as I can save my mother, even if it is death, I am willing. ”
Fang Ning turned around and resolutely walked towards the martial arts arena.
