Early the next morning, Tong Xiang got up energetically and turned his head to look, but there was no one in sight.

She got out of bed and went around to the other side, only to see Chu Xiao roll up the bed and sleep on the ground at some point. His eyes were slightly closed, and even if he was on the floor, his sleeping position was extremely elegant, with his hands crossed between his abdomen, and the whole person was lying flat upward.

He also slept very soundly on the floor, and did not seem to be woken by her movements.

Tong Xiang thought that he was too tired to move things yesterday, so he walked out lightly without waking him up.

She finished washing, changed into a crisp skirt, and walked out the door.

The town and the countryside in the early morning are very different. The sun had just risen, and the road was already full of pedestrians, cars, and horses, in stark contrast to the silence of the village.

The house is located on the opposite side of the downtown area, and the two are only separated by a stone bridge, but they are very different.

While his family was still asleep, Tong Xiang closed the door, walked across the stone bridge, and went to a steamed bun shop opposite.

Before she moved to town, she had tasted this house and liked it. When the long queue finally came to an end, Tong Xiang bought salted tofu brains for four people, plus a large bag of fragrant buns, and returned with a full load.

When they got home, everyone woke up.

After a hearty meal, she decided to take a look around and find out what's going on here.

Walking through the downtown area, there is a slightly more secluded alley. As soon as he arrived at the mouth of the alley, Tong Xiang smelled a faint bitter smell of Chinese medicine.

Sure enough, at the end of the alley, there was a small pharmacy, and the guys in the store were busy moving in and out, carrying the newly harvested herbs.

Although the location is relatively remote, the business of this shop is good. From time to time, someone would go into the alley, go to the pharmacy, and get some medicine packets.

Tong Xiang walked into this pharmacy, and the guys in the store came over to entertain him very warmly.

"Girl, what herbs do you need? A new batch of snow fox grass has been purchased in the small shop, which is a good thing to escape the heat in the hot summer. I don't know if you're interested in taking a look? ”

The fellow observed her face, and seeing that she did not agree but did not refuse, he beckoned the fellow to bring the herb.

Standing next to Tong Xiang, there was a middle-aged man in a dark green robe, checking the herbs in his hands. Seeing this snow fox grass, his eyes flashed, and he hurriedly raised his head and asked, "I can't buy this snow fox grass in many pharmacies, where did you get it here?" ”

Hearing the middle-aged man's words, the guy showed an official smile and explained, "You don't know this." Snow fox grass loves shade, and the nearby mountains are full of trees, which is best for its growth. It's just that there are many snakes, insects, birds and beasts on the mountain, and few people go up to the mountain to pick. ”

Tong Xiang observed the herbs in his hand, twisted them with his fingers carefully, and the corners of his mouth hooked up an imperceptible smile.

When the man heard this, he was very excited and laughed heartily.

"I'll just say that our Yuqian County is a treasure land, and we even have this kind of herb!"

So saying, he took out the money from his pocket, and went to the counter to buy a few taels.

"Wait! There's something wrong with this snow fox. ”

The man was about to pay, but he heard the crisp voice of a little girl behind him, and turned around curiously.

"Little girl, what's wrong with this snow fox grass?"

He picked up the snow fox grass, put it in front of his nose and sniffed it, but he didn't notice anything unusual.

When the guy on the side saw that she was going to smash the field, he also crossed his waist unhappily, and said angrily: "Girl, why did you come out to deceive people when you didn't stay at home at such a young age to learn to be a female celebrity?" ”

Tong Xiang narrowed his eyes, and there was a hint of chill in his expression.

She slowly opened her lips and said, "Who said I was a liar?" ”

The pharmacist sitting behind the counter saw that she was not leaving, and he couldn't sit still, so he got up from the Taishi chair and walked in front of Tong Xiang.

He touched the mustache at the corner of his mouth, picked up a snow fox grass in his hand, and looked at her with slanted eyes.

"The best snow fox grass needs to be air-dried naturally, and its white essence must not be lost. The snow fox grass we have here, this color, this smell, is all superb, what's the problem? ”

After the pharmacist said this, the man in green also nodded convincingly.

The guy also fanned the flames on the side and said: "Little girl, our Defu Hall is a fifty-year-old shop, and there has been no problem for so many years, don't come here to touch porcelain!" ”

The people who came in to buy medicine at the back all stopped their movements and waited to see her reaction.

Tong Xiang hooked his lips and smiled, and asked the guy on the side again: "You said, this snow fox grass was picked from a nearby mountain?" ”

The guy looked at her and was a little scared, but he didn't think there was anything unusual about this herb, and he was also bold, and replied without hesitation: "That's right! This snow fox grass was picked from the mountain to the south! ”

The onlookers didn't know what she meant, and their faces were confused, and they whispered.

She raised the snow fox grass in her hand, her gaze swept over everyone, and finally landed on the medicine man.

"It's not snow fox grass at all, it's just ordinary silver grass."

"What! This is silver grass, ten pennies can buy a pound of silver grass? ”

Some people bought this herb, gritted their teeth in anger, and pulled the guy's collar to ask them to lose money.

The pharmacist didn't expect her to say this, and he panicked in his heart.

He bought this herb at the price of ten taels of silver per catty, if it was really silver grass, he would not even have any money left in the near future?

Thinking of this, the pharmacist's mind also spun quickly, and he questioned her: "Why do you say that this is silver grass!" ”

Tong Xiangwan smiled and said unhurriedly: "Because of the growth environment." It is recorded in medical books that snow fox grass grows in barren land and feeds on insects. On the South Mountain, the soil is fertile, and there is no such thing as snow fox grass.

"In addition, although the silver grass is similar in appearance to the snow fox grass, the function is very different. However, those who are in the know know that the stem of silver grass is thinner than that of snow fox grass, and you can tell it by touching it with your hand. ”

The pharmacist listened to her explanation and was speechless.

Although he claimed to be a pharmacist and the owner of the shop, he really knew very little medical knowledge. He was playful since he was a child, and refused to read medical books well, and his father passed it on to him only because he was the only son in the family.

In recent years, the business of pharmacies has also faded a lot. He was also greedy for cheap in order to reduce the store's losses, and bought fake snow fox grass without careful consideration.

was exposed, and the pharmacist only felt that he couldn't hang it on his face. I also thought that the shop that my father had managed to run with great difficulty was going to be destroyed in my own hands.

For a while, guilt and anger welled up in his heart, and he only felt that his throat was fishy and sweet, and he spit out a mouthful of old blood. Then, as soon as he saw a flower, he fell to the ground dizzy and unconscious.

When everyone in the store saw that the owner had an accident, they were all panicked and at a loss.

Some people ran out in a hurry without paying the money, while others stood still and didn't react for a while. The guy saw the shopkeeper fainting, and shouted that he wanted to go out and report to the official and arrest Tong Xiang, the culprit.

In the noise, Tong Xiang was calm. She walked over briskly, reaching out to probe the pharmacist's snort. The breath was faint, and it seemed that it was really life-threatening.

She didn't expect the pharmacist's psychological quality to be so poor, and she couldn't stand it after only listening to a few rebuttals, probably because she had a chronic disease.

Time was pressing, Tong Xiang didn't think much about it, and touched his pulse again, confirming that he had a heart attack.

She hid her hand in her sleeve and concentrated slightly, and the ancient ring appeared on her finger. With his consciousness, he took out a quick-acting heart-saving pill from the space, Tong Xiang stuffed it into the pharmacist's mouth, picked up the teapot by the counter, and poured water directly into it.

The pharmacist swallowed the pill, gradually regained consciousness, and opened his eyes.

The rest of the onlookers looked at her in amazement, with disbelief and adoration in their eyes.

The pharmacist sitting on the ground was relieved, and when he saw that he had been saved by a little girl, he immediately felt ashamed, and wanted to faint again immediately.

The man in green understood her ability, walked over, and saluted respectfully.

"The girl is a good doctor, it would be a pity if she didn't open a pharmacy."

In order to facilitate future business, Tong Xiang did not have many scruples, and said bluntly: "I am planning to open a pharmacy, just opposite the stone bridge, do you have any herbs you need?" ”

The people behind her heard that she was going to open a pharmacy, and they didn't care about the pharmacist's face, and they came over to report the name of the medicine.

"Girl, I need some resurrection grass, a hundred taels of silver and a catty, just to be useful! My eldest man goes out to dart and often encounters bandits. I can't help him at home, I just want to prepare some resurrection grass for him to stop the bleeding. ”

"And the Seven White Powders! Recently, the sun is scorching, and my wife has been tanned a lot, so she asked me to come out to buy this thing, but there is nothing to sell anywhere. ”

Everyone is chattering, you say a word to me. Tong Xiang silently wrote it down in his heart, ready to go back and buy more.

Finally, the man in green stepped forward and asked, "Girl, may I ask if you have this snow fox grass for sale here?" ”

Hearing this, many people stopped and listened with their ears pricked up.

The guys on the side also quietly moved their steps and moved towards this side.

Tong Xiang looked at everyone, pondered for a few seconds, and said, "I don't have snow fox grass, but I have something more useful than snow fox grass here." ”

Hearing this, some people sighed.

This snow fox grass is an artifact for summer heat. As long as a little is the size of a fingernail, soak it in warm water and drink it, which can ensure that people will not suffer from heat stroke after working in the sun for the next day.

What is more effective than snow fox grass? They really haven't seen it.

I saw that Tong Xiang was not in a hurry, and took out a small white flower from his sleeve.

The flower was no bigger than her fingertips, and in her hand, it looked extremely small and fragile.

Tong Xiang took a porcelain cup that was upside down on the shelf, picked a petal and put it in, and poured half a glass of water.

The petals swirled in the glass of water, and soon sank to the bottom, and gradually dissolved.
