Volume 3: The People of the Year Erqi: The Inside and Outside of the Pharmacy

The rain stopped.

"The rain stopped. The man muttered to himself, carrying a burden, looking at the sky in the silent street.

The man carried a burden, and there were two baskets of herbs hanging from the burden, and the medicinal materials in them were all dry, not like they were picked from the mountains, but as if they were bought from a medicine shop, and the man's trouser legs were not stained with mud and water, and he should have just come out.

The man looked around, the door was closed, only one of the medicine was not closed, there was a man who was looking at the store, he was wearing a thick dress, he leaned on the dusty medicine shelf, crossed Erlang's legs and knocked melon seeds, and there was a miscellaneous newspaper in his hand, I don't know what it was.

The man put down his burden and sat down on the threshold of the room opposite the drugstore, where the sun had evaporated most of the water, and the man sat on the ground feeling only some coldness, not water stains.

The man moved his shoulder, and then tapped the side of the burden with his hand, he looked at the somewhat careless pharmacy owner, and wondered,

"Why didn't you take refuge, didn't the Heavenly Soldiers say that a very powerful guy is coming? ”

Du Wuchen glanced at the man, then continued to look at his newspaper, and replied absentmindedly while reading,

"Didn't you go either? ”

"I'm different, I'm sending medicine to the adults who watch the city gate, a fixed itinerary, I can't change it if I want to, if I don't go, don't mention that it's small to lose my job, if I am asked, my family will be over, this ghost world, there is a fight, and people like us with low cultivation have come out of Bai Yujing is a word ....... ”

"Noisy. ”

"What?" the man looked at Du Wuchen, who was still bored reading the newspaper, and said in surprise.

Du Wuchen picked up a melon seed, threw it into his mouth, and then spit out the shell, "I said that you are very noisy, I don't care about your, if you want to send medicine, I will send it quickly, now you are talking about a fart?

"Why do you talk so untutored! I talk to you, you don't talk if you don't talk, who will you show your face!" The man changed his shoulders to carry the burden, spat at Du Wuchen, and then twisted his butt and continued to set off, when the man walked a few steps, the man suddenly turned around and shouted at Du Wuchen,

"Dead face! Your broken medicine can't be sold for the rest of your life!"

The man said, and ran away, Du Wuchen picked up a handful of melon seeds and was about to throw them out at him, and when he saw that the man's shadow was gone, Du Wuchen's mouth was bulging, and he looked at the melon seeds in his hand angrily, and then stuffed them into his mouth, but he choked himself, and the melon seeds he had just swallowed spit out again.

"Shopkeeper, being angry is not good for your health. The sound like a spring breeze suddenly sounded in Du Wuchen's ears, Du Wuchen looked up, and saw a pockmarked young man standing in front of him at some point, and there was a carriage behind him, not an official car, but the horse pulling the carriage was majestic, the fur was black and shiny, and it was a good horse at a glance, Du Wuchen immediately knew that this person was ...... Rich!

Du Wuchen looked around, and really couldn't figure out how the carriage came to him without a sound, Du Wuchen was no longer entangled, but piled up a smiling face, straightened his waist, returned to his chair, swept the melon seeds on the table in front of him into the dustpan with his arm, and then threw the dustpan aside, looking at the pockmarked young man and laughing,

"What kind of medicine does the little boy want to buy?

"The store misunderstood, I'm not a son, and I'm not here to buy medicine. The pockmarked young man waved his hand at Du Wuchen, and then replied with a smile, "I just want to ask ......." ”

"It's not to buy medicine, you come to the pharmacy!" Du Wuchen yelled directly at the young man, because the man was unhappy just now, and now a guy who seems to be rich but doesn't buy medicine said this, Du Wuchen's heart suddenly swelled out of a nameless fire, "Ask questions and find those heavenly soldiers! I'm just a medicine buyer, get out!"

Du Wuchen continued to lean on the medicine shelf, picked up the newspaper just now, scanned the content on it angrily, and then scolded himself, "Hit and fight, what bullshit, bullshit is rebellious, these guys are all crippled, and Lao Tzu's medicine can be sold." ”

And the pockmarked young man still kept smiling, and then pulled out a few taels of broken silver from his belt, and after the young man put the broken silver in his hand and checked it, he threw it on the table in front of Du Wuchen.

"Can you ask a few questions?"

Du Wuchen skimmed the broken silver on the table, then looked at the pockmarked young man again, and finally looked at the carriage behind the young man, Du Wuchen broke out in some cold sweat on his forehead, he swept the broken silver on the table into his sleeve, and shouted at the bulging volume just now,

"Just one, don't ask to pull down. ”

"Okay. The pockmarked young man pointed to the man who was carrying the burden just now and smiled, "What did he just tell you?"

"It's nothing, it's just that he sat down and asked me why I didn't go to refuge, I said you didn't go, he said that he was delivering medicine to the heavenly soldiers on the city wall and couldn't go to refuge, and then you also saw it, I am a pharmacy, he is also the owner of the pharmacy, and when my peers saw my peers, I thought he was deliberately laughing at me, so I said he was arguing, and then I quarreled with him for a few words, and then he ran away. Du Wuchen's eyes rolled in a circle, and then spread his hands, "That's all, it's gone." ”

I saw the pockmarked young man look in the direction where the man was leaving, then turned around and got into the carriage, whipped his horse and left in the opposite direction of the man's departure.

After Du Wuchen watched the carriage leave, he hurriedly threw the broken silver in his sleeve into the fire that was extinguished by the rain, and then looked at the few big holes on the table that were smashed by the silver, Du Wuchen slapped himself a few times, why didn't there be a door on his mouth? Du Wuchen sighed, it's still that little girl, although she talks less, but people's eyes are not bad, she doesn't want this, one comes to show off in front of him, and the other wants to kill people at every turn.

Du Wuchen looked at the streets around him, there was no one, let's close the door first, anyway, it shouldn't be too early to see the time, let's cook some medicine for my wife first, this time she was made by this rain, her body should suffer again, die God!

Du Wuchen looked at the woman on the hospital bed covered with a thick quilt shaped like dry bones, and his eyes gradually softened.

"Son, I just heard that it was so noisy outside, what happened?" the woman opened her eyes, which were so large that they were full of cloudy light, and she could no longer see many things clearly.

"It's nothing, it's just that there's business today. Du Wuchen helped the woman make the quilt, smiled at the woman and said, "Today we eat meat, I just bought a few catties of mutton, and I will make you a broth to drink, don't you like mutton soup the most......." ”

Du Wuchen didn't finish speaking, because the woman was already asleep, she fell asleep easily, Du Wuchen was very afraid that she would fall asleep, Du Wuchen scratched his head, take refuge?

......

Lu Jiu held the umbrella and stood in front of the closed pharmacy in a daze, and then sighed, sure enough, there is no one, he should go to take refuge, then return the umbrella to him tomorrow.

"This is the pharmacy you come to. Ren Bujian stood behind Lu Jiu, and Lu Jiu let him stand like this.

"Hmm. Lu Jiu nodded, "The owner of this shopkeeper has a seriously ill old mother, I used to ask my husband to come and help her see it, but my husband just didn't come, and always found excuses to excuse himself." ”

"So now that I'm here, you think of me?" Ren Bujian looked at Lu Jiu and smiled evilly.

Lu Jiu looked at Ren Bujian and asked with some self-reproach, "No...... What?"

"How could it be. Ren Bujian took Lu Jiu's hand, "Even the side medicine they sell to Meng Hao every day, I need to thank him on behalf of Xuanqingmen, this is also one of the few responsibilities I have fulfilled for Xuanqingmen, rest assured, I can't rely on these low-grade medicinal materials to prolong my life, I have no reason not to cure it." ”

"Well, the eldest young master is so handsome. Lu Jiu had a smile on his face and praised Ren Buji.

Ren Buru immediately pointed at himself with his big finger and said triumphantly narcissistically, "That's right." ”

......

"Leng Feng, was there anything strange about that pharmacy just now?" Mo Lai leaned on the carriage, and Mo Lian fell asleep on his lap, Mo Lai let her sleep, she was too tired today.

Tian Lengfeng drove the carriage and looked straight ahead, "No problem, it's just that there is a woman in him who can't get off the ground, it should be his mother, so he didn't go to take refuge, I just felt a little curious." ”

"It's curiosity about the person who carries the burden. ”

"The Lord is wise. Tian Lengfeng patted the unseemly sycophant, "I just felt that this person suddenly appeared from the street and suddenly disappeared from the end of the street, so I was a little curious." ”

"If you can describe it as 'suddenly', it is probably really sudden. Mo Lai smiled and touched the tip of her nose to her ear.

"The lord laughed, I'm just a gangster picked up by the lord, but it's just the cultivation of the foundation. Tian Lengfeng replied with a smile.

Mo Lai closed his eyes, this person seemed to be planning to keep pretending, Mo Lai lifted the curtain, looked at the closed doors around him, obviously lined up the rest of the people to stop this demon, why did he still come in, and he came in through the Heavenly Array, and more importantly, why did he let these people from the outer city take refuge? Is it really Qiu Suming who took refuge?

Mo looked behind him, there was no one on the empty street, he was almost to his place of residence, Mo Lai didn't continue to look, he leaned on the carriage, his eyes were down, Mo Lian slept soundly, and his little pink face was very peaceful, but Mo Lai saw that it was another sleeping guy at his feet, the little milk dog.

Molai kicked it in the stomach, startling the little guy and looking around in confusion.

Mo looked at the confused little milk dog, and he laughed out loud.
