The backyard of Cheung Chau Pharmacy is a huge drying field, and there are many shelves for drying medicine.

A series of processes such as selecting, chopping, cutting, and pounding medicinal materials are also carried out here.

So much so that the smell of medicine in the entire backyard is stronger, heavier, and more miscellaneous than in the front lobby.

When Steward Song came to the backyard, he found that Bai Gu and Xiao Xingtang were standing opposite each other, both with angry faces. The two of them were tense, and they both wanted to jump up and give each other two blows.

Like two mad little beasts.

If it weren't for two strong men blocking them, I'm afraid they would all be together now.

Surrounded by a bunch of medical staff who don't think much of a big deal to watch the excitement.

Steward Song stepped forward and glared, "It's all idle, aren't they?" Get to work! ”

The workers then went back to their respective stations to work, but their eyes still glanced here and there from time to time, and those who got close still exchanged heads and ears from time to time, saying something.

Steward Song didn't want to deal with these workers for the time being, so he walked straight to the four of them and said to the two strong men: "Let them go, let them fight, and we'll deal with things after the fight." ”

The strong man did so.

It's just that the two of them put away their posture almost at the same time.

It's not that they don't want to fight, it's just that they have their own reasons.

Xiao walked to the hall because he was afraid of Steward Song.

Who in the entire Cheung Chau Pharmacy doesn't know that Steward Song is famous for his clear distinction between right and wrong, and he is resolute? If anyone makes a mistake and falls into his hands, you will be in trouble.

Besides, do you really think that Steward Song will really fight when he calls for a fight, or in front of him. Of course, you can give it a try, but you have to weigh whether you can afford it.

What the leader said, three points true and seven points false, if you get carried away and can't see the situation clearly, you don't know how to die.

Bai Gu wanted to hurry up and finish the matter, go to see Wu Lao, and let him see if he could help exchange the snake scales for money, so that he could hurry home to see Bai Xiaoxiao.

Old Liu Tou is still waiting for the rice date cake.

When Steward Song saw that the two of them had stopped, he began to deal with things, "You two, who will say it first?" ”

Xiao Xingtang took the first step: "I! I'll come first! That's him! I wanted to give credit to our pharmacy, but I refused, he wanted to hit me with a wooden card in a fit of anger, but I blocked it, and the wooden card flew out and smashed the threshold. That's how it happened! ”

Steward Song's face sank, "Can't you let him hit you?" Do you think a wooden sign can crush you to death? Or do you feel that your head is worth more than the pharmacy business? He smashed you, not only does the threshold of the pharmacy not have to be broken, but you can have a wound on the top of your head, and you can also leave a scar, which can be more reasonable when reporting to the official. You don't understand this? Yes! Now that you are doing this, not only will the threshold of the pharmacy be broken, the business will be affected, but it will also be criticized and left behind! It's really not enough to succeed, and more than enough to fail! ”

Steward Song glanced at Bai Gu, "What about you, do you have anything to say?" ”

Bai Gu put his hands around his chest, "I want to see Elder Wu." ”

Steward Song's brows furrowed.

Xiao Xingtang immediately laughed strangely, "Just you? What kind of noble person is Dr. Wu, who you can see when you want to see him? Do you deserve it too? ”

Bai Gu didn't pay attention to Xiao Xingtang, just looked at Steward Song, "I said, I want to see Elder Wu." ”

"What are you looking for Wu Lao? Mr. Wu is very busy, and I can convey it on my behalf. Steward Song said in a deep voice.

Bai Gu shook his head and said with a smile: "You just need to take that piece of acacia wood card, and then tell Wu Lao that there is a person named Bai Gu, who has come back from Guxue Peak and comes to find him." ”

Steward Song's brows tightened, and he took out the locust wood card from his arms, "Is this it?" ”

Bai Gu nodded.

Steward Song pondered for a moment before he slowly spoke: "I'll go and report, if you're playing tricks on me, you won't be able to get away today!" He turned to the two strong men and commanded, "Watch over them!" ”

After saying that, he left.

Xiao Xiangtang rolled his eyes at Bai Gu, "With your kind of character, you still want to have a relationship with Wu Lao?" Don't be delusional! Wait to be cleaned up! ”

Bai Gu suppressed his anger, "You still have to think about how you will explain it later, and you can only be lighter when you are punished." ”

Xiao Xingtang snorted and stopped talking.

After a while, Steward Song came back, his face a little strange.

He walked up to Bai Gu and handed over the Huai Mu card with both hands, "Elder Wu asked you to go up." ”

Xiao Xingtang looked at Steward Song's actions and words, and was stunned.

How could this guy have received an invitation from Dr. Wu?!

What about smashing the threshold...... Isn't it impossible to hide?

In a hurry, Xiao Gotang hurriedly asked, "Steward Song, you, are you mistaken?" ”

Steward Song's eyes widened, "You mean, I'm confused?" Or is Wu Lao confused? ”

"I ...... That was not what I meant. Xiao Xingtang realized that he had said the wrong thing and hurriedly explained.

Bai Gu took back the Huaimu card, and didn't want to argue with Xiao Gotang anymore, "Steward Song, let's go, don't let Wu Lao wait too long." ”

"Okay." Steward Song nodded, then turned his head and glared at Xiao Xingtang, "I'll clean you up when I come back!" ”

After speaking, he took Bai Gu to find Wu Lao.

The small hall was struck by lightning and collapsed to the ground.

This time, it was a big disaster.

Steward Song led Bai Gu up to the third floor, and stopped before taking him to a certain room, "Elder Wu is inside, you can go in." ”

Bai Gu nodded, "Thank you." ”

Bai Gu pushed the door in, and a familiar aroma of orchids came to his face.

Steward Song waited in the corridor for Bai Gu to enter the room, then slowly closed the door and went downstairs.

"Bai Xiaoyou, here." Wu Lao sat behind the wooden case and smiled.

Bai Gu bypassed the screen, stood in front of the wooden case, bent down and bowed, "Old Wu." ”

"I heard that there was a little misunderstanding down there just now?" Wu Lao pointed to the chair, "Don't be so restrained, sit." ”

Bai Gu sat down and nodded, "Yes, there is a small walker who said that I smashed the threshold of the pharmacy with the Huaimu brand, and I want to pay for it." ”

"If you don't pay, you will have a dispute?"

"Does Wu Lao also think that I will with the old guy's Huaimu card?" Bai Gu didn't dare to roll his eyes at Wu Lao, so he could only look at Wu Lao with a very strange look.

I can't spray you, can't I yin and yang you?

Wu Lao was also a little embarrassed by Bai Gu's eyes, so he had to smile reluctantly, "Then what's going on?" ”

"What I say, will you believe it?"

"Tell me about it."

Bai Gu lowered his head and did not speak.

Wu Lao had no choice but to hold his forehead, no wonder the old guy said that this kid could choke people to death with a word, and sure enough. But he has lived for so long, and he also knows Bai Gu's thoughts.

Don't you just want a guarantee?

What a simple thing.

"Okay, I'll give you justice, and I will never favor anyone. How, can it be said? Wu Lao shook his head and said with a wry smile.

This kid, it's really hard to do.

Only then did Bai Gu raise his head, "What do you say?" ”

Wu Lao was stunned for a moment, and then laughed, "Count and count, and do what you say!" ”

This kid is still questioning my personality, really.

"I just took the locust wood card, went to the counter and said that I wanted to find you, the stinky boy didn't believe it, so he threw the locust wood card away, and scolded me for breaking the house, I didn't hit him on the spot. I picked it up and asked him to report it again, and said that I would let the shopkeeper Yuan come to see it last time, and he knew this wooden card. As a result, he still didn't believe it, and lost the wooden sign again, this time smashing the threshold of the pharmacy. Then before I could react, he grabbed my hand and yelled that I had smashed the threshold of the pharmacy. I'm confused, okay? I believe that Wu Lao already knows about the rest of the matter. As for what is going on, I believe you also have a good solution, I don't want to say much. ”

It's not good to say anything.

Wu Lao smiled lightly.

You're all poking at me, and you want to say more?

Teach me to do things?

Sure enough, people who can mingle with the old guys are interesting people.

In the words of the old guy, people who don't match the temperament can't pee in the same pot with him.

"Yes, I know, I'll give you justice in this matter." Wu Lao took out a pen and paper, wrote a few words on it, folded it, and put it on the tray on the side.

At that moment, a maid knocked on the door and walked in.

It turned out to be to add water to Wu Lao's kettle.

Wu Lao pointed to the note on the tray, "Take this to Steward Song, he knows what to do." ”

The first half of the sentence is for the maid, and the second half is for Bai Gu.

Wu Lao glanced at him.

Bai Gu lowered his head, playing with his fingers, pretending not to hear anything.

"Okay, I've already asked someone to deal with the matter, I believe there will be a result soon, okay." Wu Lao said with a smile.

"I hope you can do what you say."

"Don't worry, I can do what I say." Wu Lao made a cup of tea for Bai Gu, "Taste, Phosphorus Creek's single fir." ”

Bai Gu took a sip, it was hot, and he hurriedly stuck out his tongue to dissipate heat.

Wu Lao smiled, "Single fir tea, the most important thing is to brew it with boiling water, and then drink it while it is hot, so that you can see its aroma the most." You don't know this, and you can't get used to drinking hot water, and it's normal to get scalded. ”

"It's a little astringent, and I can't get used to it." Bai Gu blew the tea and drank the rest.

Where can the tea that Wu Lao drink be worse? It's definitely expensive!

Even if it is unpleasant, you have to drink it.

Drinking is earning, and drinking more is earning.

Wu Lao doesn't blame Bai Gu for not knowing tea, after all, a child from a poor family, what good things can he drink? Eighty percent usually don't even drink less water, right? Look at this dry skin.

"You came to me, something? I heard Steward Song say, you came back from Guxue Peak? Wu Lao finally cut to the point, and this is what he is concerned about.

Purple ginseng.

Bai Gu nodded, "I've been looking for a few days on the Old Snow Peak, and I've found a little bit, you can see if it's true." ”

As he spoke, he took out a clay pot from his baggage and handed it to Wu Lao.

Wu Lao couldn't wait to take it, and carefully opened the seal, only to see a dry, purple-black, purple-black ...... Dry branches?

Wu Lao was stunned, and then took out this "branch" and put it in his hand to look at it carefully and repeatedly.

The face also changed from loss, calm, shock, surprise, to the last smile.

He looked at Bai Gu, and there was some eagerness in his tone, "Is there anything else?" Are there any other discoveries besides this? ”

"No, that's all. This was given to me by the good people of the mountains. ”

"Good guys? For you? Wu Lao was a little puzzled.

"Well, he should be a snowplow on the mountain, he has lived in Guxue Peak for a long time, and he is very familiar with the terrain, or he took me to find it."

Wu Lao frowned, "What's his name?" ”

"This ...... I don't know, he just asked me to call him Xu Ye. ”

"Xu Ye?" Wu Lao muttered in his heart, there is no one on this snow peak, who can it be?

Won't it ...... It's him......

"Oh yes, Xu Ye still has a letter for me to pass on to you." Bai Gu took out another envelope and handed it to Wu Lao.

I saw Elder Wu open the envelope and take out the note inside. When he saw the above content, Wu Lao's body couldn't help but tremble, and then he sat in place in a daze.

Seeing that Wu Lao was staying where he was, Bai Gu was puzzled, and at the same time he was curious about the content of the letter.

What did you write? Why did Wu Lao react after reading this?

Elder Wu sighed, silently folded the letter paper, and put it back in the envelope. Then he put the "branch" back into the clay pot and closed the seal.

Wu Lao finally put the two together and put them in the cabinet behind him.

"Bai Xiaoyou, your sister Ah Yue's illness, I will go to see it in two days, don't worry." Wu Lao changed back to his usual demeanor, with a warm face.

"Old Wu, that, is that purple ginseng?" Bai Gu was a little lost again, and smiled bitterly, "However, you may not have to go hard to treat Ah Yue." ”

"Why? Didn't you work so hard to go to Guxue Peak just to treat your sister? How? ”

"Ah Yue is dead."

Wu Lao frowned, "It shouldn't be, whether it's the situation you described, or the illness note you brought, your family Ah Yue should still have a few months to go, how could it be so sudden?" ”

Bai Gu broke into his house and smashed and robbed the group, beating Bai Xiaoxiao who was seriously injured and unconscious, and Ah Yue was frozen to death briefly, and Wu Lao also had some sympathy.

"Condolences." Wu Lao thought for a moment, "You said that your other sister was seriously injured?" In detail, I should be able to help. ”

Bai Gu's eyes welled up with hope, "Xiaoxiao's most serious injury right now is in her chest and abdomen, all her ribs are broken, her internal organs are damaged, and there is a lot of internal bleeding. There was also an injury in the middle of the spine. There are other skin injuries, concussions, etc., and there is no good place in the whole body. ”

As he spoke, Bai Gu's tone began to tremble a little. He lowered his head, clenched his fists tightly, his vision blurred.

Wu Lao was silent for a moment, and then said: "I can cure this situation, find a time, it is best to send your sister to me for treatment." First, I can control the injury more accurately, and secondly, the environment and medicinal materials of Cheung Chau Pharmacy are not bad, and the treatment is much faster. ”

"Yes...... I don't have any money......" Bai Gu thought for a while, "I have something, Wu Lao will see if we can offset the account together, if it is not enough, I will find a way." ”

Wu Lao smiled lightly and waved his hand, "No, just the contents of that clay pot are enough." ”

"That, it's purple ginseng? Is purple ginseng valuable? ”

"Anyway, it's more than enough to cure your sister's illness."

Bai Gu looked surprised.

Listening to Lao Liu Tou, to treat Bai Xiaoxiao's injury, whether to use gold as a unit, or an astronomical amount.

That "branch", even if it is a purple ginseng, is at best the amount of a ginseng, right? Can it even offset the cost of treatment?

This purple ginseng is too valuable!

"Don't worry, you will do what you say." Afraid that Bai Gu, this kid wouldn't believe it, Wu Lao added another sentence.

Bai Gu smiled awkwardly.

"Old Wu, do you accept snake scales here?"

"Snake scales? It depends on what kind of snake it is, and the scales of many snakes are useless. ”

"Then, what about the Tushegu serpent?" Bai Gu took out a piece of snake scales from his baggage and handed it to Wu Lao.

"Where did you get this thing from?" Wu Lao looked at it carefully, and couldn't help but be a little surprised.

The snake scales of the ancient snake of Tushe, can this kid get it?

"Picked it up." Bai Gu grinned.

Wu Lao glanced at him and was noncommittal.

Picked up? Who believes! Hell if this thing was so easy to pick up.

However, what Bai Gu said was right, he did pick up the snake scales of this Tushe ancient snake.

Of course, it's the life of the pick-up.

Bai Gu didn't say anything more at this point, just pointed to the snake scales, "Old Wu, can this thing be exchanged for money here?" ”

"Dare to love you kid and want to sell snake scales? Do you know what this stuff is for? ”

"I don't know, I won't use it, and it's useless if I know. It's better to change some money to live. ”

"Okay, you have your ideas. So, tell me, how much do you want to sell? ”

"I don't really know what this thing is for, only you know. Therefore, I don't say the price, you can just make a conscience price, and I can do it. Bai Gu smiled.

"You kid." Wu Lao tapped Bai Gu with his finger and smiled, "That's it, six hundred taels of gold, how about it?" ”

Bai Gu was ecstatic in his heart, this was one hundred taels of gold higher than Lao Liu's offer!

Earn over!

Bai Gu nodded hurriedly, "Yes, very much!" ”

Then he took out a large pile of snake scales from his baggage, and then grinned, "Old Wu, can you help me take a look at it again, how much are these worth?" ”

Wu Lao's eyelids jumped, this kid, this is a snake nest to buy, and then came to me to ship, right?

Just this pile of snake scales, at least 20 pieces, right?

"Old Wu, I've counted it, there are twenty-nine pieces here. With the addition of the piece in your hand, it is a total of thirty pieces. ”

Good boy, come prepared.

Wu Lao glanced at it, a little surprised.

It's still tricolored.

The three-color Tushegu snake, this kid can come back alive after taking the snake scales, it is really a blessing and a great life.

"There are so many snake scales, you can think of it and run to me to sell it for money." Wu Lao was a little helpless.

"It was Grandpa Liu's idea, and he said that he either had to find someone who knew the goods to slaughter him. Either they will come to you and ask you to make a price with a conscience. I didn't bother to look for someone who knew the goods, so I came straight to you. ”

What a bad idea from this old boy!

Wu Lao gently rubbed the snake scales in his hand, "He should have told you that the price of a single snake scale is low, and the price of multiple snake scales is high." The six hundred taels just mentioned are just the price of a single piece. Since you chose to take out so many high-quality snake scales in one go, then I am embarrassed to pay the price just now. In this case, I will first make a price, eight hundred taels of gold for a piece, and a total of twenty-four thousand taels of gold. If a seller buys it at a high price in the future, I will make up the difference for you. ”

After thinking about it again, Wu Lao added: "Let's round it up, 30,000 taels of gold, after all, the quality of this snake scale is not bad." ”

Bai Gu took a deep breath.

Thirty thousand taels!

Gold!

Get rich!

Bai Gu's heart was beating wildly at this time, as if it was about to jump out in the next second.

He didn't talk about it since he was a child, and he had never even heard of so much money. And now, this huge amount of money is about to go into his pocket, how can he not be excited.

This is like how excited a person who often scores zero in the test suddenly gets a perfect score.

No, it's even more exciting than a perfect score!

That's 30,000 taels of gold!

Bai Gu swallowed a mouthful of saliva to relieve his dry throat, "Then, Old Wu, when will you get this money?" ”

Bai Gu was so excited that he began to speak uncomfortably.

Old Wu put the snake scales in his hand together with the wooden case, and said with a smile: "Don't worry, I'll go with you when I go downstairs, just go to the account room to get it, and I will definitely give it to you exactly what's right." ”

"That's good, that's good."

Bai Gu thought for a while, "Old Wu, if I don't wait for me, I'll take 20,000 taels, and leave the remaining 10,000 taels for Xiaoxiao, when she comes here to treat her injuries, she may cause trouble for you and the pharmacy, this 10,000 taels...... Think of it as money for medical visits and supplements. ”

Wu Lao smiled lightly, "You, you, are you looking down on the ability of the Changzhou Pharmacy, or the value of purple ginseng, or are you looking down on my medical skills?" ”

"Don't dare, don't dare, how dare I, I'm just afraid of causing trouble."

"You can rest assured, the Changzhou Pharmacy has a big business, and you can come to ten white little ones."

Just a little girl, how much trouble can it be?

"That's good." Bai Gu nodded, smiling.

If a small injury is healed, that's fine.

There is hope for the rest of life, so that's good.

It's good to be able to do that.
