Chapter 28: Drugs
After the New Year, it is the Spring Festival.
Lu Yuan did not spend this section with Sun Siwen.
Although the two are friends, they are not a family in the end, and they still have to spend the Spring Festival with their families.
It also happens that when you celebrate the festival alone, you can leave yourself a unique time.
On the second day of the first lunar month, it is time to visit relatives and friends.
Lu Yuan didn't have any relatives, and in addition to Sun Siwen, he also had a few friends like Sun Liu's blacksmith. So if you want to move around, you can only go to these people's homes.
Thinking that they were all neighbors, and the relationship was good, I took a few pieces of bacon and visited them door to door.
When I came back, I already had a lot of red envelopes in my hand.
In the third year of junior high school, Lu Yuan went to the county seat.
It was now the beginning of the month, and the medicinal materials he had bought for his practice last month had just been used up yesterday and needed to be replenished.
……
This morning's sun was exceptionally shining, and the snow on the road could not withstand the warmth, and turned into snow and soaked the ground, turning the road into mud.
After rushing for an hour, Lu Yuan looked at the city gate in front of him, and suddenly breathed a sigh of relief in his heart.
This is similar to the ancient society in the previous life, the road construction technology is too poor, even the official road, after soaking in water, has become an uneven mud pit, which is really difficult to walk.
"Fortunately, this road is finally over."
Lu Yuan shook his head, then shook his back basket, smiled and went to the city.
Although it was the time of the New Year, the officials guarding the gate did not forget their professional ethics, and when they saw someone entering the city, they immediately stopped them, intending to earn a sum of money for the festival.
But Lu Yuan now has a hukou, and he is no longer a black household, and he is not afraid of identity threats at all. At the same time, except for a piece of bacon, the back basket was empty, and there was no other goods.
Therefore, a few small officials scolded, and could only collect the most basic five cents into the city tax, and pushed the poor ghost to let people enter the city.
Pretending to be afraid and fearful into the city, Lu Yuan glanced at these little officials vaguely, and recorded the appearance of these people, and had already made an account in his heart.
He decided that if he had the opportunity in the future, he would definitely repay these people and take care of him for many years.
……
Zhou's Pharmacy.
Although it's the New Year's Day, there is such a thing as injury, but I don't tell you about any festivals or festivals.
When a serious illness comes, it should be cured or treated.
Therefore, after the Spring Festival, the medicine store had already opened, and Zhou Ze was lying on the recliner, smiling at this time watching his son handle the medicinal materials.
"Doctor Zhou."
Lu Yuan knocked on the door of the pharmacy, then walked in, took out a hanging of bacon from the back basket, handed it to Zhou Qing, the son of Dr. Zhou, who looked curious, and said with a smile: "Come, Xiao Qingzi, this is a New Year's gift for your family." ”
The boy was now twelve years old, and he was so tall that he looked like a little adult.
Zhou Qing took the bacon and said dissatisfiedly: "I'm not young, now I have learned to deal with medicinal herbs, and I can catch medicine for people." ”
Lu Yuan laughed: "Yes, yes, you are not young, you will be able to ask for a daughter-in-law and become a father in two years." ”
With the customs of today's era, it is very normal for children to get married and have children at the age of fourteen or fifteen. Even a twelve-year-old like Zhou Qing gets married, which is not uncommon.
"You...... What are you talking about? Who is going to get married......" Zhou Qing was still thin-skinned, and when he was ridiculed at this time, he immediately blushed, turned his head and ran.
Looking at his back, Lu Yuan smiled even happier.
"Okay, Master Lu, don't tease my little boy."
Zhou Ze next to him was also a little funny, but he was more serious, and he took into account the majesty of being a father, so he quickly changed the topic and said, "I'm here to make up for medicine today?" ”
At this time of the month, Lu Yuan would come to his side to grab medicine, and it had become a routine.
"yes, yes."
Lu Yuan nodded, took out the prepared five taels of silver from his arms, and handed it over: "It's still a month's amount, this is money." ”
"Guys, I really don't know what's the use of practicing like this? It's been a year, it's not that it's not famous, and I can still only be a hunter.
If you want me to say, if you save the money you have spent on medicine this year, you can now buy a few acres of land in the countryside and build a big house.
At that time, if you have these family businesses, find a daughter from a good family and start a family, isn't this better than pursuing those illusory martial arts now? ”
Zhou Ze persuaded as usual, got up from the recliner, and prepared to grab the medicine himself.
The medicinal herbs that Lu Yuan bought was, in a sense, an exclusive secret recipe that belonged to the other party.
Now people are looking for him to grab medicine, and they don't shy away from it, this is trust.
Therefore, out of professional ethics and in order to live up to the trust of the other party, Dr. Zhou has always taken medicine alone.
Otherwise, replace it with your own son.
That little rabbit cub is too young, and there is no door to keep his mouth open, who knows if it will leak out?
"It's still useful to practice martial arts."
has been in contact with Zhou Ze for a long time, and Lu Yuan already has a good impression of this doctor who has a lot of ethics and is also kind-hearted.
Therefore, he didn't shy away from some things that were not too secret, so he smiled and said, "Let's just say I'm hunting." In the past, when I encountered jackals, tigers and leopards, I could only rely on traps to deal with them, and I didn't dare to fight directly.
But now, even if I face a leopard, I can beat it to death with just a pair of fleshy palms. ”
Zhou Ze took out a medicinal herb from the cabinet, and when he heard Lu Yuan's words at this time, he was slightly suspicious: "You have only been practicing for a year, and you are still practicing blindly, so you really made your practice famous?" ”
Seeing that the other party didn't believe it, Lu Yuan looked left and right, and happened to see a small stone at the door.
So he walked over, picked up the stone, came to Zhou Ze, and shook his hand: "Look." ”
After that, he mobilized his internal force and shook it hard.
There was a few crunching sounds in the palm of the hand.
When he opened his hand, he saw that the stone had been crumpled into powder.
"This ......"
Zhou Ze looked at this scene, and couldn't help but widen his eyes in surprise: "It's really made you famous." ”
As he spoke, he glanced Lu Yuan up and down a few times, his eyes were unprecedentedly serious, as if he had reacquainted himself with this mountain hunter who seemed a little strange in the past.
Lu Yuan smiled: "Yes." So you know, why do I keep practicing martial arts? ”
"No wonder I keep urging you to save money, but you don't want to."
Zhou Ze nodded, and suddenly realized: "Indeed, with this martial arts, how can those rural women be able to see the days of ordinary rich peasants in the countryside." You do have a better way out, I used to talk too much. ”
However, although he knew that the other party was famous for practicing martial arts, he didn't care too much.
In the profession of a doctor, patients are indispensable.
And those who practice martial arts have always been injured.
Zhou Ze has been practicing medicine for more than ten years, and in the past, he was not a person who had not treated martial arts.
Those real martial arts people, when it comes to martial arts, are much stronger than Lu Yuan in front of them.
A mere trick of crushing stones is nothing.
At most, it just made Lu Yuan's impression in his eyes change from an interesting hunter to an interesting hunter with a bit of martial arts.
In terms of importance, for Dr. Zhou, martial arts are not as interesting.
Zhou Ze had long been familiar with the medicinal materials that Lu Yuan needed to practice, especially after forming a routine, some of them had even been prepared in advance.
It didn't take a moment to pack a month's worth of medicinal herbs: "Here, this month's amount." ”
After reaching out and taking the medicinal herbs and putting them in the back basket, Lu Yuan hesitated, but he still couldn't bear the thought in his heart, and asked, "Doctor Zhou, are you here...... Do you have that kind of drug that stuns people here? ”
Since it was speculated that the leader of the Black Wolf Gang might be a second-rate master, and at the same time, if the other party found out his identity, he was likely to have bad intentions towards him.
Lu Yuan has always been insecure.
But just by practicing martial arts, if you want to train to a second-rate realm, and if you want to have enough power for self-preservation, you don't know how many years it will take.
Therefore, at this time, I have to think of a way to add a few more self-protection means for myself.
And drug is one of the methods he chooses.
Zhou Ze was about to return to the recliner and continue to lie flat, when he heard the words, he immediately turned around and frowned: "Why are you asking this?" ”
Lu Yuan explained: "Am I not a hunter? As I just said, when hunting, I can deal with leopards and jackals with my hands.
But in the face of big guys like tigers and black bears, there is some powerlessness.
When I was drinking tea in a teahouse, I heard that there was that kind of sweat medicine in the rivers and lakes that stunned people. Therefore, I would like to ask if there is such a drug.
If so, it can be used to deal with fierce beasts such as tigers.
The price that a tiger can sell for is comparable to dozens of wild wolves. If you can hit one, you can rest for a year. ”
He spoke the words that he had prepared in his heart.
But for this set, Zhou Ze didn't believe it at all, and sneered: "I think you want to use it to be charming." Hunters deal with wild beasts, don't use traps and drugs, do you really think I'm a three-year-old?
Why, just after practicing martial arts and becoming famous, you can't wait to kill people and make a few windfalls? ”
Lu Yuan's expression remained unchanged, he just looked at the other party and said, "Doctor Zhou, you know me." I've always been a timid person, how dare I use drugs to charm, let alone do business.
These are all head-killing.
The reason why I want to buy drugs is just to prepare some means to defend myself.
If Dr. Zhou doesn't want to sell, then forget it, when I didn't say it. ”
It's just that although he said this, he had already made up his mind in his heart, if Zhou Ze finally refused, then he would have to flee away from his hometown today.
Without it, only cautious.
After all, once the foundation of trust is broken, then all past relationships will only become the fuse of hatred.
Zhou Ze also seems to be aware of this.
He looked Lu Yuan up and down, thinking back to the bits and pieces of the past intersection in his mind, the person in front of him was indeed not a cunning and wicked person, hesitated, and still asked, "Are you really just using it for self-defense?" ”
Lu Yuan nodded solemnly: "I promise, it's definitely for self-defense." ”
Well, it's true that you buy drugs for self-defense.
But in order to defend yourself, kill the enemy with drugs in advance, this is not a breach of promise, right?
After all, he's here for self-defense.
Staring at Lu Yuan's eyes for a long time, but he still couldn't see the other party's thoughts, Zhou Ze withdrew his gaze and sighed in his heart: "This kid is really a little fox." ’
Sighing twice, he shook his head and said, "I do have a drug, which was left by a patient who came to me for treatment seven years ago. At that time, he was too seriously injured, and before I could be treated, he died directly, leaving only a "seven-step incense" drug on his body.
Although I haven't made this medicine, I have also studied the formula, and it should be the drug that you people in the rivers and lakes say. ”
At this point, Zhou Ze's title to Lu Yuan has also changed from a hunter to a Jianghu person.
Obviously, opening his mouth to ask for drugs has changed his impression in the other party's heart.
But for this, Lu Yuan didn't care.
Since he was ready to ask about the drug, it already meant that he had stepped into the rivers and lakes.
In fact, as early as that trip to the South China Sea, after that killing, he was already a Jianghu man.
It's just that this Jianghu man is still weak now, and he can only use the identity of a hunter to cover.
"How much?" Lu Yuan asked.
"A hundred taels of silver." Zhou Ze looked at him, a trace of complexity flashed in his eyes, as if he wanted to use this price to make a final persuasion.
But this is destined to be useless.
"Okay, I'll buy it."
Lu Yuan stretched out his hand, took out a large bag of silver from his arms, and put it on the counter.
Since he was going to buy drugs, when he came, he brought most of his savings with him.
As for a hundred taels of silver to buy a drug?
You can have more means to save your life and enhance your survival probability.
To him, an immortal, that was more important than anything else.
In contrast, money, as long as it takes some time, can naturally accumulate slowly.
"Big deal, I'm the arrow god of Lantau Island, and then I will go to the South China Sea to go out to the rivers and lakes." He thought to himself.
Well, something, once done, is like flipping a switch and never going back.
It's like hunting.
When Zhou Ze heard the reply, he withdrew his gaze in disappointment, and then returned to the back hall, and after a while, he came back with a yellowed piece of paper and a large bag of medicinal herbs in his hand: "Take it, this is the formula." There is also a certain amount of medicinal herbs, enough for you to make a dozen servings of the drug. ”
"Thank you, Dr. Zhou." Lu Yuan's face was overjoyed, and he stretched out his hand to pick it up.
Zhou Ze pressed his hand on the medicinal herbs, stared at his eyes, and said seriously: "Remember, after you left the medicine shop, everything you did had nothing to do with me. Your affairs on the rivers and lakes can't involve me. Can it be done? ”
Lu Yuan looked at the doctor and said solemnly, "Yes." After I went out, I was a hunter who often bought medicine. It was only because I had lived in the mountains for a long time that my body couldn't stand it, so I came to see Dr. Zhou. ”
Zhou Ze let go of his hand, nodded and said, "It's good that you know." I don't like trouble, and I'm not interested in things on the rivers and lakes, I just want to be a doctor in peace, and then pass on this shop to Xiaoqing. So much for. ”
Saying this, Dr. Zhou sighed in his heart.
Maybe one day, I won't be able to see this interesting guest in front of me.
Rivers and lakes.
These two words seem to have magical power, attracting countless young people who are enthusiastic to step in.
But how would those young people know?
As soon as you enter the rivers and lakes, you will be full of white bones. I don't know when I will fall on it and become one of them.
is like the owner of the drug "Qibu Xiang", even with this drug, didn't he even survive the treatment in the end, and died directly in the hospital, with nothing?
As a doctor who treats diseases and saves wounds, Zhou Ze has seen many people who have died because of vendetta in the rivers and lakes.
At this time, looking at Lu Yuan, he seemed to see the dead people he had seen in the past.
……
Regarding the psychological process of Dr. Zhou in front of him, Lu Yuan is not clear.
Even if you knew, you wouldn't care.
Just kidding, my dignified immortal, the arrow god of Lantau Island, will he be the kind of person who fights with reckless men in the rivers and lakes to seek revenge and kill?
When it comes to sparing life, who can match him.
really get up, and when the eighteen generations of Zhou Ze's descendants are dead, he will still be alive.
So what kind of hatred is there, for Lu Yuan, just boil.
Time will erase everything and kill all enemies.
He doesn't have to fight to the death.
You just need to boil it.
Therefore, buying drugs is really just for self-defense.
Someone just thinks too much.
"Thank you Dr. Zhou today."
At the door of the pharmacy, Lu Yuan, who got what he wanted, smiled and arched his hand at Zhou Ze: "Then I'll come back next month, Doctor Zhou take care." ”
With that, with the basket on his back, he turned and walked out of the city.
