Volume 1 The Shadow of Xianyue Chapter 2 Buying and Selling

Hyakkashi City is located in the Aoyama area, one of the largest towns in Aomori Province, with dense crowds and bright lights.

In front of the city gate, it was relatively deserted, and I saw an old man with a little girl, and the two of them staggered, obviously walking for a long time.

"Grandpa, look, look, there's a big eagle in the sky!" the little girl looked innocently at the sky, and the eagle seemed to cross the edge of the moon and flew towards the town.

The old man touched the girl's head and said with a smile: "That's not an eagle, that's the fairy bird of Qingshan Palace, where there have been immortals and fairy birds since ancient times, and it used to be in Shanxian Village, and for this year, I would see it flying over the mountain every three nights." ”

The old man picked up the basket on his back, saw the little girl standing in place with her eyes closed, and said, "Let's go, we still have to go to Qian Wentang." ”

The little girl said, "Since it is a fairy bird, I will make a wish." ”

"What do you wish for?"

"I wish that my grandfather would make a lot of money this time, and he would never have to go up to the mountains to collect medicine in the future. ”

The old man smiled kindly and led the little girl to the city.

There is a Qian Wentang pharmacy in the southeast corner of the city, it is the only pharmacy in Baihua City, people within a radius of several miles come here to see a doctor, people come and go every day, it is more lively than a restaurant, and the boss has no money to recruit only one employee, and he can also cope with it.

Qian Wufu is proficient in all kinds of medical skills, can cure all kinds of diseases and detoxify, even the disciples of Qingshan Palace come here to get pills, so that other pharmacies in Baihua City can't open.

Qian Wufu sat at the counter, holding an abacus while checking people's pulses, about forty or fifty years old, but with reading glasses, I was afraid that I had miscalculated the account book.

The patient who saw the doctor admired the doctor very much, and saw that the money was useless carelessly, and he was not worried, he believed that the uselessness of money could cure his illness.

Qian Wufu put away his hand, finally turned his head to look at the patient, and said, "The pulse is stable, what external injuries do you have." ”

The patient slurred a little and said, "I.. I have hemorrhoids on my buttocks. ”

"Did you bring the money? Pay the money first, and then get the medicine. ”

"Can you take credit first, doctor? ”

Qian Wufu frowned, put down his reading glasses, and said, "Where did you come from?"

"It's from Shanxian Village. ”

Qian Wufu touched his beard that was not too long, and was slightly curious, the villagers of Shanxian Village rarely come here to see a doctor, why are there so few guests today, no wonder they don't understand the rules, look up at the patients queuing up behind, and they are all at the door.

Looking at the faces of these people, Qian Wuxin counted them and said, "Are you all the same!"

Everyone, you look at me, I look at you, I don't know how to say, the money is useless and said: "If you don't say it, you can't be cured!"

Everyone panicked and shouted in unison: "Yes, my buttocks have hemorrhoids!"

Qian useless sat down, picked up the abacus, and said lazily: "Come up and pay the money in turn, and then go get the medicine!"

He also said: "Xiao Si, take Poria cocos, Danpi, peach kernels, decoction three times a day, then take realgar and sulfur and grind them into powder, add oil and stir evenly, and apply them for external use.

The one with hemorrhoids should go to the young man named Xiao Si to get the medicine!" Qian said uselessly, pointed to the side, and motioned for everyone to go up to the second floor with Xiao Si to get the medicine.

"Report! I don't have hemorrhoids on my buttocks!"

At this time, everyone dispersed, only a young man remained in the hall, dressed in black, seeing that he was tall and thin, his hair was scattered, he should have come from a long journey, and from time to time he cleaned up the corners of his clothes, looking a little embarrassed. But it was completely covered by his clear-eyed face.

"Your medicine hasn't arrived, can you pay the money first?" The money was useless and didn't raise his head, counting the medicine money paid by the villagers just now.

"Yo~Yo~ Oh my God, I, Li Yiyang, have opened my eyes, you have learned to take credit even if your money is useless?

Li Yiyang stole down the mountain, did not go straight to Qian Wentang, but sold the bag of things he brought to make money, the bag was full of hammerback chairs invented by himself, specially sold to large families, his words were like a gushing water, a steady stream of mouths, said that the boss lady wanted to marry his daughter to him, but Li Yiyang only needs money, repeatedly shirked, and made more money tonight.

When he came to the useless place of money, he saw that there were many patients, so he had to wait in line until now.

Qian Wufu snorted and sneered and didn't answer, Li Yiyang didn't care about him, sat down by himself, and after a while, he poured a cup of tea and took it over, and said with a smile: "Old Qian, talk to you about something, I may rarely come down to get medicine in the future, you see, can you let that little fourth send it to me, I will add money." ”

"How much?"

"Ten texts. ”

"No need to talk about it!

"Twenty!

Qian uselessly shook his hand: "Come on, boy, Qingshan Palace is three thousand two hundred and fourteen zhang high, how can the fourth child go up, you can ask the senior brother to come down and get it if it's inconvenient." ”

Li Yiyang said: "I can't be discovered by my senior brother, and how can you calculate so accurately, whether it is so high or not, I can climb it." ”

Qian Wufu put down his reading glasses, abacus, and account book, took Li Yiyang's tea and took a sip before saying: "Nonsense, I don't understand this, what money do I still make." If you like to take the medicine or not, it's not me who will die. ”

"Hmph, I want to die too, if it weren't for my master... Forget it, when will my medicine arrive?"

As soon as Li Yiyang's words fell, an old grandfather and a little girl came from the door, and Qian was useless to put down the teacup: "No, just say it." ”

Li Yiyang looked over and saw that the old man put down the basket from his back and sorted out the herbs inside, and the little girl looked innocently in Qian Wentang.

Li Yiyang thought in his heart, did my medicine all collect by this old grandfather...

"Boss Qian, the weather has been bad recently, and the fog in the mountains is foggy and wet, so I picked this this this time. At this time, it was useless for the old man to give money for medicinal herbs.

Qian useless said: "Well, this is at most fifty wen." ”

The old man looked embarrassed: "This... This medicinal herb is precious and rare, growing on the edge of the dense forest cliff, it is extremely difficult to find and pick, my family all rely on this to live, and fifty wen is inevitably less. ”

Money is useless and said: "You have too much medicine and it's not easy to sell, I can't live if I can't sell it, I still have to give labor money, besides, this is a pharmacy, you can still sell it there." ”

"What!!"

Li Yiyang was angry when he heard this, and thought to himself that he would need three taels of silver to buy from the useless money, but it turned out that the medicinal materials were only fifty wen, and this money was useless to earn so much from the middle!

"Then sell it to me, in fact, I am the only buyer..."

Li Yiyang looked annoyed, the money was useless and too bad, he was talking, his voice was getting weaker, he suddenly felt his body heat up, a hot breath rushed to his chest, he was about to collapse to the ground, the money was useless and grabbed it, and clicked two acupoints on Li Yiyang's chest.

The little girl saw that Li Yiyang's whole body was red, like a roast duck out of the oven, she was scared, and she hid behind her grandfather by the corner of his clothes.

"Grandpa, what is the disease of that little brother?" the little girl looked curious, and the old man took the little girl's hand tightly and stepped back.

But seeing that the money was useless, he pushed Li Yiyang behind his back a few times, and then took the medicinal materials that the old man had just picked, like feeding a cow, and swallowed them directly to Li Yiyang, which could be regarded as relief.

After a while, Li Yiyang finally came to his senses, he felt bitter, drank a hot glass of water unhurriedly, and turned around: "Grandpa, I bought your medicinal materials, three taels of silver, where are the medicinal materials?"

Qian said uselessly: "Hmph, the medicinal herbs are in your stomach! ”

Li Yiyang couldn't remember that he had taken the medicine, but now he only felt that his stomach was cold, and then he understood, so he said: "Of course I ate it for the old man's money, and he didn't sell it to you." ”

Qian Wufu said: "You kid is really not a human being! I saved you just now and gave you medicine to eat, understand? So you have to pay for the treatment, and you have to pay for the old man's medicine." ”

Li Yiyang said: "Yes, I am not a human being, my life is worthless, and I didn't ask you to save it, so I don't have money for you, I owe you your kindness first, but the medicinal herbs were picked by the old man diligently, and I gave him three taels." ”

"Okay, good, kindness, repay it now, give me one or two. ”

"It seems that my life is one or two, and it is quite expensive. ”

Li Yiyang laughed at himself and returned the favor, walked to the old man and gave him two taels, thinking that the original medicinal materials he had picked in the past year were all picked by this grandfather, seeing that his hands were rough and injured, he couldn't help but be moved, and thought that his grandfather was useless to earn money from the middle, and couldn't help but feel sorry for him, so he simply gave the old man all the fifty taels of silver he had.

He squatted down, took out a sachet, and gave it to the little girl.

"Little sister is so cute, what's her name, is it okay for my brother to give you a toy. ”

When the little girl saw Li Yiyang's appearance just now, she was scared, she held the jade pendant on her chest and stepped back, shaking her hand: "My name is Liu Zhiyao, thank you little brother, I don't want it, grandpa said that you can't just ask for other people's things." ”

"Far away, go back, we still have more than ten miles to Shanxian Village. The old man took the hand from afar to say goodbye to Li Yiyang and the uselessness of money.

Li Yiyang looked at the little girl as a teenager, but she was quite sensible, her eyes were bright, and she had two small pigtails on her head, which was very cute, so she smiled somehow, and said in her heart: "It seems like she was when she was a child." ”

Money is useless I didn't make any money today, but I was already angry as usual, but I was extremely calm at the moment, and when I saw the old grandfather and the little girl leaving, my face became heavy.

"It's useless for you to just eat these anti-stress pills, unless your master can find the Thousand Water Cold Beads in Xuanshui Mountain, otherwise I don't have a problem, there are a few heart-saving pills, take them when you have a seizure, and it will be up to you to create later." ”

"Then thank you for the old-timers for your favor over the past year, I ..... Li"

"Come on, come on, it's useless, it's useless to have money now. ”

Li Yiyang smiled bitterly, feeling that the money was useless and righteous, so he said: "Just now, a group of people in Shanxian Village all suffered from hemorrhoids, what happened?"

Qian said uselessly: "You yourself are almost hopeless, and you still care about others?"

"I'm afraid I'll be infected by them. ”

"They may have been poisoned by water, don't worry, you are not poisonous, and the medicinal herbs you have eaten this year are poisonous. ”

"Is there a monster in the water poison?" Li Yiyang only cared about the previous question.

"It's hard to say, but Shanxian Village is at the foot of your Qingshan Palace, which monster dares to come. ”

If the money is useless, Li Yiyang disagrees, but it was okay before, but now it is not the same as in the past.

"Or, you go and see, as a doctor, for the sake of people's livelihood. ”

When Qian Wufu heard this, he raised his throat: "I'll go, you Qingshan Palace has three major halls, and everyone is dead." ”

Li Yiyang said: "For pills and detoxification, medicine is your housekeeping skill in Xuanshui Mountain, it is most suitable for you to go, not to mention that you are now coming to Qingshan to live in seclusion." ”

Qian Wufu became excited: "Don't mention Xuanshui Mountain to me, Lao Tzu has been away for decades, and it is no longer a place for men to stay, if you want me to go, give money, sixty taels." ”

"Hmph, come on, you can count the money here, see you later!"

"If only you came back alive!"

"You know I can't die if I want to..."

The two said goodbye scolding like this, coming out of Qian Wentang, Li Yiyang walked slowly on the street, passing through the crowd of people coming and going, feeling a little lonely and helpless for a while, looking up at the sky, sighing, what is life for.

Li Yiyang always couldn't find the right answer, and when he came to the restaurant he usually went to, he suddenly saw the old man and the little girl walking towards the restaurant.

Li Yiyang raised the corners of his mouth, it should be too dark at night, and the two of them got their own two taels of silver, just staying in the town for one night, and going to Shanxian Village tomorrow is also better.

"Grandpa, the night here is so beautiful, so lively. The little girl Liu Zhiyao lay in front of the window and looked at the night.

Suddenly, a gust of wind howled, blowing the window sign, Zhiyao was about to go back to the room, a big eagle flew over the roof, Zhiyao excitedly shouted: "Grandpa, grandpa, it's a fairy bird, a fairy bird, it flew over, flew over..."

Before she could be surprised, a bag of sachets fell from the sky, and it fell right in front of the window, and the old man heard the voice and came to see, "What is this.."

Liu Zhiyao opened the sachet and found it containing fifty taels of silver, her child had never seen such a big piece of silver, so she only turned around and took it to her grandfather blankly.

"Yao'er, we have made a lot of money, it is God who favors us!"

Liu Zhiyao jumped up and clapped his hands: "It must be when I was at the city gate before, the wish I made came true, thank you for the blessing of the fairy bird god." ”

"Yes, you just saw it again, what are you going to wish for......?"
