Chapter 167: Prepare medicine for a rainy day
The reason why this patient said he was special was because he had a plague.
The Alayan sect has been open for more than a month, and the willow tree in front of the gate has not yet grown in new leaves, but now it is lush and covers the sky and the sun, and has never encountered a plague patient.
He always thought that Qiao Luxi Bird City was still a pure land, and the plague had not yet come, but he didn't expect to encounter it today.
After diagnosing the young man, Alayanzong found that his condition was not serious, but he did not take it lightly, and made detailed inquiries while prescribing medicine.
The man also fled, but he was from the Eastern Sea City of Accra.
The city of East Sea in Accra is now experiencing a plague epidemic, and everyone is in danger, and everyone is fleeing one after another, and there are also people who have fled anywhere.
This man fled from the city with his wife and children earlier, and arrived at Qiao Luxi Bird City with five or six people about half a month ago.
When they entered the city, the family was examined by the garrison and diagnosed by the official doctors, and there were no symptoms of plague at that time.
After entering the city, the family of three found a spare yard and saw that they could shelter from the wind and rain, so they temporarily stayed.
After all, it is necessary to make a living, let the women take care of the children in the courtyard, and the men go to the market to do odd jobs.
A few days ago, the man had a cough, thinking it was a cold, and he didn't take it seriously, but then he had a fever again, so he couldn't do anything, so he sought medical advice. I heard that there is a free clinic here.
After Allah brought the herbs he had grasped, Alayanzong told the young man again to ask his family to come and see if he had the disease, and to take the medicine on time and drink some along with his family. Take plenty of rest, isolate yourself from each other, and stay away from others. It would be best to inform the villagers who came with him to come and check it out.
The man nodded again and again, thanked him and left.
Looking at the back of the young man leaving, Alayanzong's heart became heavy. The plague has spread in the East Sea City of Accra, and the Bird City of Jolu West will not be spared.
The plague is as fierce as a tiger!
Once the plague spreads in Bird City, medicinal materials will inevitably be in short supply. Although the peach of Ula and the orchid of Fujino go out of the city every day to collect medicine, the amount of medicine collected is limited after all, and it is not enough for daily use, so it is necessary to let Allah Xiaoer go to the market to wholesale.
Without herbs to cure the disease, the epidemic would be more difficult to control. Thinking of this, Alayanzong took a pen and paper, quickly wrote a list of medicines, handed it to Allah Xiaoer, and asked him to bring some more silver taels to the medicinal herb market to purchase.
Allah was surprised when he saw that the amount of medicine on the list was four or five times more than usual, and asked, "Why did you buy so much at once?"
Alayanzong nodded, "Maybe the two of them won't be able to go out of the city to collect medicine soon, so prepare more medicine to do business." ”
Allah let out an "oh" and turned to leave, and when he rode on a white horse and ran to the market, it occurred to him that he had not yet figured out why he was buying so many medicinal herbs.
It was close to noon before Allah returned. Alayanzong originally thought that he came back later because he bought a lot of medicinal materials and it was difficult to transport. But in fact, when he met Allah's second, he returned empty-handed.
Allah Xiaoer jumped off the horse, and he didn't care much, so he stepped forward to interrupt him, pulled his arm to the side, and whispered, "Medicine, you can't buy it!"
Seeing that Allah's second child was very anxious, there were beads of sweat on his face, his clothes were wet with sweat, and the white horse was steaming hot, so you could see how many places he had run.
Alayanzong was puzzled, "Why?"
Allah took a breath and said, "I have been to many places, and the boss said that the medicinal herbs have been ordered. The other medicines are easy to say, but no one sells these ones on your list. ”
"Who ordered it?" Alayanzong wanted to ask.
"Said that it was a big pharmacist, and the price was twice as much as usual, and he said that he wanted as much as he wanted, and paid a deposit to each merchant. "It seems that Allah has inquired about it.
"What kind of pharmacist, do you know?"
"It is said to be from the Beard King City. ”
Hearing the news, the Alayan sect seemed to understand something, and this may be an official act. But he suddenly remembered that Mednanfu, and his heart was suddenly shocked, could it be him?
Thinking of this, he said to Allah's second brother: "Little second brother, you go to rest first, feed the horses, and prepare lunch, it is estimated that the peach will be back soon." After eating, I'll go to the medicinal herb market with you again. ”
Allah nodded in agreement and led the horse into the courtyard.
Alayanzong sat back down in front of the desk and continued to diagnose the patient.
After lunch, under the leadership of Allah, the two of them rode their horses and went straight to the Chengnan Medicinal Herb Wholesale Market.
Allah took him directly to one of the largest wholesalers of medicinal herbs in the area. This shop is really big, looking at the courtyard like a small square, the surrounding houses are all warehouses, and they are full of medicinal herbs.
As soon as the boss saw Allah's second child, he frowned, "Why did you come here again, didn't I tell you in the morning, it's out of stock, it's out of stock! It's a waste of time for you to come back. Let's go to other businesses if you have that effort!"
After that, he turned around and left, ignoring the Alayan Sect on the side at all.
Without waiting for Allah to speak, Alayanzong handed him the reins of the horse, stepped forward in three steps and two steps to stop the middle-aged boss, and said, "This uncle, I can buy your medicinal herbs at a high price." ”
The boss was a little impatient, and waved his hand, "It's useless to sell a high price, it's out of stock." So he bypassed the Alayanzon and went on his way.
"I'll pay three times the price!" Alayanzong didn't give up.
The boss was stunned for a moment, stopped, and then looked at Alayanzong carefully, and saw that he was a hairy young man, so he just shook his head, "I said, it's out of stock, and it won't be sold for much money." And he went on his way.
"Quadruple the price!"
This time, the boss finally stood up and re-examined the Alayanzong, and his tone softened a lot, but there was still a puzzled look on his face, "How much do you want?"
Alayanzong handed the medicine list to the middle-aged man, "That's all. ”
"That's not much, at best, it's a cart of medicinal herbs. The middle-aged boss was relieved, "I still know a lot of you." OK, deal. ”
"When will I pick up my order?"
The boss replied, "One hand of money and one hand of goods." You'd better pay now and pick up the goods now. At noon, people are having lunch, no one pays attention here, and there are too many people, I'm afraid you won't be able to buy it. After all, I have pre-sold all the goods, which is against the law. ”
The boss rolled his eyes and stared at Alayanzong, the meaning was obvious, if you want the goods to be paid now, don't leave quickly.
Alayanzong took off the money bag around his waist and shook it, making a loud noise. "This money should be enough, you can arrange for the car to be delivered. ”
When the boss heard the symphony of silver coins, he immediately smiled all over his face, "It's easy to say." Then he trotted all the way and went to beckon the man to prepare the car and charge.
After about an hour, Alayandzong and Allah returned to their lodgings in the carriage.
Seeing that someone was already waiting to see a doctor under the willow tree, Alayanzong hurriedly dismounted and went to see the patient. The matter of unloading the truck and moving the medicine was handed over to Allah Xiaoer.
Ula no Peach and Fujino no Ran heard Allah's shout and also came out of the bedroom to help unload the car.
The herb is available and can last for a while.
During dinner in the evening, Kiyoki Fujino brought back another news. At first, the Alayanzong didn't care, but who knew that it would affect their fate later.
