Chapter 16: The Mighty Thunder
On the attic, there is a wooden plaque hanging, engraved with the words "Baicao Pavilion", the simplicity is full of prudence, at the door you can smell the bursts of medicinal fragrance coming, look at it with great satisfaction, and then step in.
As soon as he stepped into the threshold, he glanced around, there were not many people in the pavilion, most of them were old men with long hair, and there were a few young people asking for advice on the side, and the whole lobby was very quiet. At this time, a little guy stepped forward and asked softly, "This gentleman, is it a promotion or a registration?" The little guy looked strange, the young man in front of him was suave, and he wanted to be the son of a family, and he had nothing to do here, where did he look like a doctor.
Ling Li smiled and said, "I'm going to open a medicine hall and come here to list it." The little guy was stunned, and then walked in front to lead the way. The sharp appearance attracted the attention of some people, but seeing that he was too young, he didn't pay too much attention, and lowered his head and continued to do his own thing.
The little servant led Ling Li into a counter and shouted inside, "Sister, this person is coming to hang up." ”
After a while, a woman appeared, looked up and down sharply, and quipped, "Yo, which handsome boy is this?" ”
Ling Li's face flushed, and he said embarrassedly, "When I first came to Lin'an, I wanted to open a medicine hall." ”
"You can recognize a few medicinal herbs at your age, don't open a medicine hall with a little capital, don't be ambitious, toss casually, you must know that silver is not easy to come by. The woman said in an old-fashioned manner.
Ling Li had a strange look on his face, opened his mouth to say something, and finally smiled bitterly, and said, "That, can you help me put up a list?"
The woman's brows tightened, and she said, "Why, I can't say it yet, you said that you are a son, you have nothing to open a medicine hall, if someone else catches the medicine, you will give the wrong medicine, you will die... And ah... If... ”
The sharp head is as big as a fight, and the woman behind has been chattering, and then he didn't know what she was talking about, so he hung up the card in a daze, and walked out in a daze, just walked out of the Baicao Pavilion, only to see that the woman actually came out, while muttering, "Hey, that person, don't be in a hurry, I have to talk to you again... ”
Ling Li was shocked when he saw the man, and hurriedly said, "That, I have something to do, go first, next time, next time I will listen to you." Before the words fell, Ling Li hurried away and fled in a hurry.
It wasn't until after leaving Baicao Pavilion a hundred meters that Ling Li breathed a sigh of relief, and said with palpitations, "It's terrible." ”
After escaping from the Hundred Grass Pavilion, Ling Li didn't have the heart to play, for fear of encountering that woman-like figure again.
With a wry smile, he said sharply, "Now that it's finally listed, the next thing is to purchase some medicinal materials." ”
In this way, a month later, a medicine hall opened silently in the corner of the alley in the west of the city, with no plaque, no name, and not even a running hallmate, only Ling Li and Xie Ling were cleaning up there. The surrounding neighbors all know that the business of this pharmacy is not good, but the two couples don't care, they sit in it all day long, drink tea, chat, and envy others.
"Brother Ling, have you returned to Xiangmu, my family's mouth disease has been committed again. A simple man came to the medicine hall and asked.
Ling Li was grinding medicine there at this time, and when he heard this, he raised his head and said with a smile, "It turned out to be Brother Li, wait." After a while, he took two packages and handed them to the man with a smile.
"One is back to the fragrant wood, the other is the cockscomb, after going back, the back of the fragrant wood is crushed, and then the cockscomb is boiled into soup, just give it to the sister-in-law, but the medicine is very bitter. ”
The man handed out half a hanging of money, shook his head sharply and said, "Brother Li, you are here again, I said it." ”
"You are also a capital business, and you still have to give what you should give. Dahan said persistently.
"It's okay, it's not worth a few dollars, it just so happens that I just entered a batch of medicinal materials in this medicine hall a few days ago, this time the fragrant wood, I don't use much, don't worry, it's a big deal, just buy some supplements for my sister-in-law." Ling Li said.
This big man surnamed Li moved goods for people in Lin'an City, and he couldn't make any money on weekdays, but his mother-in-law was still weak and sick, and often earned a few cents for his medical treatment.
The big man looked grateful, and said, "I'm so sorry for the little brother, if there is something, although... I just wanted to continue, but I found out what I could help Lingli, and my face darkened when I thought of it.
Ling Li smiled and waved his hand, "Brother is not divided in this life, go quickly, don't let your sister-in-law wait in a hurry, sister-in-law's treatment is important." ”
Hearing this, the big man opened his mouth, and then sighed, "Little brother, thank you." His words were extremely sincere, and then he left gloomily, looking at his back sharply, as if he could feel the deep sense of powerlessness in the heart of this big man.
Ling Li's eyes showed a thoughtful look, and he muttered, "This is the pain of life." ”
Compared with the arduous diligence of the monastic path, the life of a mortal person is incomparably peaceful and peaceful. Ling Li enjoyed this feeling very much, the whole mind relaxed, under the warm sun, sipping tea, smiling at the various states of life. On this day, Ling Li took a sip of fragrant tea, this tea was sent by a tea merchant in the east of the city, as money to buy medicine, the taste of tea is average, but its fragrance is very strange, after drinking, the mouth and stomach are fragrant, just put down the teacup, suddenly, there was a dull roar in the sky, Ling Li in his hand, looked up at the sky, frowned and said, "Thunderstorm." ”
Ling Li was silent for a moment, and then a person carried an oil-paper umbrella and silently walked out of the city.
Three miles outside the city, under the hazy sky, there stood a lonely figure, slightly thin, and it was sharp. At this time, the clouds were agitated, crazily accumulated, and large shadows were cast, obscuring the autumn sun, and there was a dull feeling in Ling Li's chest, and there was a trace of depression in the air.
After a stick of incense, the dark clouds above Ling Li's head have already formed, and the wind and rain are coming. Ling Li opened the oil-paper umbrella, and the mortals around him had already noticed that the heavy rain was coming, and they all hurried to the city, only Ling Li stood still, silent.
"Boom!" A deafening thunderclap resounded through the sky, Ling Li was staring at the dark clouds in a daze at this time, his face was pale when he was startled by the thunder, and then his eyes flashed, this is the feeling! With this thunder, as if to announce the world, the rain fell surgingly.
The rain fell, Lingli's heart, also sank, Lingli's eyes were closed, his face was calm, listening to the ticking sound on the oil-paper umbrella, his mind was empty, this was different from resting in the sun, under the rain and wind, there was a wonderful rhythm that made Lingli's mind extremely quiet, Lingli was lazy calm under the sun, and in the whistling rain, Lingli was clear. Boom! Another thunderclap suddenly sounded, Ling Li frowned, and then calmed down and savored his understanding.
Closed his eyes sharply, he couldn't see anything, his mind flew into the thick clouds, wanting to peek into the mysterious power, the thunderclouds seemed to be angry, the clouds rolled, the thunder continued, Ling Li's face was pale, although the body was fine, but the mind was unconsciously injured, the mind, among mortals, also existed, but mortals could not perceive it.
It is common for people to be frightened by inexplicable things in the middle of the night, or to be violently frightened, and then they fall seriously ill, and the feeling of palpitations lasts for a long time, which is the state of the injured heart.
And Ling Li is like this at the moment, the injury did not make Ling Li retreat, Ling Li is very persevering, how can he retreat like this. The stronger it is, the more it arouses the unyielding heart.
In this way, Ling Li closed his eyes, his face was extremely pale, and he continued to feel Lei Wei in this majestic rain, the more he felt, the more Ling Li was frightened, the power of nature was endless, the more he wanted to explore Lei deeply, the more he was shocked by it.
There was a deafening roar, and the thin figure looked incomparably small and powerless under the large clouds, and the sharp body gradually trembled later, but the back became more and more straight, like a sharp sword that soared to the sky.
For a long time, there are some wonderful things in the sea of Ling Li's knowledge, ethereal, I can't tell what it is, but it really exists, since the existence of this thing, Ling Li's fear of the mighty Lei Wei has been greatly reduced, and even he has a sense of closeness to it, Ling Li knows that Lei Wei has successfully absorbed it.
Taking a long breath, Ling Li slowly opened his eyes, his face was majestic, his gaze was like electricity, and it was soul-stirring, if mortals saw it, they would definitely be stiff and their minds damaged.
"Ray Wei is in the soul. Ling Li's face showed a strange color, and he resisted the urge to test the divine thunder power, this thunder power is not easy to absorb, and this trace of thunder power cannot be squandered at will. Ling Li's face was as pale as paper at the moment, and his mind was seriously damaged, but fortunately, his spirit was sufficient, and his goal had been achieved, so Ling Li slowly returned to the city with an oil-paper umbrella.
"My mind was damaged, but I finally absorbed a trace of Lei Wei, and now I am a good student to recuperate and restore my mind. Ling Li said in his heart.
When he returned to the medicine hall, Xie Ling exclaimed, "What's wrong with you, your face is so pale!"
"It's okay, my body is cold, I'll just rest for a few days. Ling Li shook his head and smiled, his eyes clear.
Xie Ling saw Ling Li's eyes, his body shook, at this moment, Ling Li had just absorbed Lei Wei, and he naturally exuded a trace of momentum, Xie Ling looked at his eyes as if he felt that he saw countless thunderbolts intertwined with them, surging towards him. Ling Li noticed, closed his eyes, suppressed his momentum, and said, "I'll drink some soothing tea." ”
Xie Ling frowned deeply when she saw Ling Li leaving, she could never forget the feeling just now. The person in front of him is not an ordinary person, Xie Ling said in his heart.
