Traces of human activity ahead were becoming more and more apparent, and when he first arrived in Shen, he saw large areas of farmland.

The road is getting wider and easier to walk, and there are more and more pedestrians.

After all, he was only an eight-year-old child, and after a long day in the wilderness, he still wanted to return to the familiar human society.

It was also the boy's luck that he finally came across a county seat, just in the direction of the sunset.

This county seat is called Pinggu, and it is more than 40 miles away from Yicheng.

The pacifier's men and horses shouldn't have found this place so quickly.

Despite his hunger, the boy did not go straight to the restaurant, but first found the biggest and brightest local medicine store and slapped a prescription in front of the shopkeeper.

The sun had set, and he had to get his medicine ready to heal himself before they closed!

The guy first saw Chitose walking in behind him, opened his mouth wide and couldn't close it for a long time, and when he finally came back to his senses and looked down at the prescription, he couldn't speak for a long time.

The prescription was densely packed, and it was all fly-headed.

"What?" Chitose raised an eyebrow, "You don't have it here?"

"This ......" was stared at by such a big beauty, and the guy was under a lot of pressure. She frowned slightly, and he immediately panicked in his heart, and he couldn't bear to teach her to be disappointed, "Girl, the medicinal materials on the recipe are available in the store, but there are a few years that can't be reached." For example, this one says 100 years of blood ginseng, and the best one in the shop is only 30 years old, and the other ......"

The corners of Chitose's mouth twitched: "You have such a big signboard, but there are no good goods, I'll buy it elsewhere." The afterglow swept the boy's look of hope and couldn't help but pout. Considering that this is a poor and remote country, she didn't ask about the five hundred years of ginseng, which is already very face-saving, how do you know......

The beauty's rudeness can be forgiven, and the guy's attitude is still very good: "I'm sorry, we are the biggest medicine store in the county." If there are no medicinal herbs here, there will be no other shops. ”

"yes, so where can there be?"

She just asked casually, but the guy made a smile.

Chitose squinted, always feeling that he had something to say. She leaned forward slightly and looked him in the eye: "I'm sincere, why don't you tell me?"

There was a glimmer of light in her pupils, as if the stars in the sky had been plucked and crushed, soaked in the gentle and infinite waves of her eyes. This guy looked at it and fell into a fascination, and he was in a trance for a while.

When his eyes became hollow, Chitose asked bluntly, "Where can I get hundreds of years of medicinal ginseng?"

The guy opened his mouth, but he didn't squeak.

Chitose's voice became doubly gentle: "You know the answer, think about it." ”

The man's eyes rolled sluggishly: "There is no one in the county, and there may be one in Granny Mu." ”

There's something strange about the name. Chitose and the boy glanced at each other: "Where is Granny Mu?"

"I don't know. ”

Chitose changed the question: "Which medicine store is she from?"

"She's not in the county's medicine store. ”

At this moment, both of them became interested: "Then how do you know that she has good medicinal materials there?"

"Old lady Huang in the east of the city is not in good health, and has been buying valuable medicinal materials such as salvia and Ganoderma lucidum from us. But since the beginning of last year, the Huang family has not come. The shopkeeper was missing a big customer, so he was very anxious, and quietly inquired about his family, only to know that Master Huang's medicinal materials were purchased from Granny Mu. ”

Chitose's eyes flashed slightly: "What is the origin of this mother-in-law?hmm, how good are her medicinal herbs?"

"I heard that Granny Mu sends someone to deliver medicine to Huang's house every three months. The recipe used by Mrs. Huang has not changed, and after changing to Granny Mu's medicinal materials, her complexion has greatly improved, and now her face is full of red. ”

It's kind of interesting. Chitose's eyes lit up: "When is the next time Granny Mu sends medicine to the Huang Mansion?"

"I don't know. ”

She stroked her chin and asked, "You haven't inquired about the origin of this Granny Mu?"

"Yes, I can't ask. The guy originally looked indifferent, but then he suddenly shuddered, "There is a medicine store in the neighboring county that is unwilling, so he sent someone to follow him, but he never came back." But two days later, the man's body was found in the mountains, and he was killed by a bear. Everyone is evil, and no one dares to look for it. ”

Chitose smiled: "Last question, where does Old Lady Huang live?"

"The Huang family's mansion in the east of the city, the largest one. ”

While he was talking, a few guests came to the medicine store. Chitose didn't want to ask more, quietly snapped his fingers, and the guy woke up like a dream.

He looked at the big and small ones in front of him, as if he had forgotten the question and answer just now: "Both, do you still buy the medicinal materials on the prescription?"

"Give me the best price. ”

The guy answered, and buried his head in the calculation of more than a dozen breaths: "Ninety-seven taels of silver." ”

"Then ......"

The boy's eyes jumped, and he gently tugged at Chitose's sleeve.

As soon as she looked down, she saw him shaking his head at her, so she swallowed back the words "wrap up".

"Girl?"

Chitose reluctantly asked, "How can it be so expensive?" When did she worry about money before?

"You've got two Tigers! That's all the stock in the store. This thing is rare, a single one costs twenty taels of silver, and you also know that a tiger has only one guts. "The guy seems to be reasonable," and then the dendrobium ......."

"Okay, got it. Chitose interrupted him, "You give me some gold sore medicine first, and you want the best." "The boy's leg injury has not healed.

Seeing the guy staring at her in a daze, she became impatient: "Go!"

Hurry up and do it.

Chitose picked up the medicine and paid for it, and left with the boy without looking back.

The guy looked at the back of one big and one small in a daze, and suddenly understood after a while:

This woman looks like a fairy, looks unspeakably expensive, and is arrogant in the store, it turns out that she can't even make up the money to buy medicine!

I don't have the money to buy any tiger guts, what kind of century-old ginseng to buy?

Let's talk about her prescription. Even if he is not a doctor, he can see that the medicine of the tiger and wolf must be fried according to this recipe, and normal people can't make up for it.

He scolded while still staring at the graceful figure. Such a beauty has never been seen before, and if you take a second look, you will take advantage of it.

......

Walking out of the medicine store, Chitose had a straight face: "No money?"

The boy nodded. His money basically came from the man in black, deducting the gold leaves left to Liu Quan, and now all his assets are two gold leaves and a few pieces of loose silver, all converted into silver taels, less than thirty taels.

He was not good at arithmetic, but he could still understand that there was a huge gap between thirty taels and ninety taels.

Those medicines, he couldn't afford them.
