Chapter 5: Tenglong Town is humiliated
At dawn the next day, Qin Hong found the third uncle and told him to have breakfast and send Lao Langzhong home, while he sorted out his belongings and went to Tenglong Town, thirty miles away, with Qin Fengming.
Tenglong Town is the only way for Qijia City and Luyu City. It is the largest town store within a radius of 50 miles in Qinjia Village, there is a main street in the town, and all kinds of businesses on both sides of the street are complete. In the past, there was an endless stream of businessmen, and it seemed to be very prosperous and lively.
When they came to the town, the father and son first came to the blacksmith shop to visit the second brother. After more than a year of iron training, Qin Fengming saw that the second brother's face was dark red and his physique was strong.
When asked about coming to town, Qin Hong only said that he was selling some mountain goods, and did not talk about his grandfather's injury, but after asking Qin Fengming's second brother to take good care of himself, he and Qin Fengming got up and left.
The father and son then approached a furrier, and after bargaining, they finally sold the snakeskin and mink for three taels of silver.
Seeing that they got the silver taels, the two of them came to the largest pharmacy in Tenglong Town.
As soon as I entered the pharmacy, I saw an old gentleman sitting at the counter, and a young man of seventeen or eighteen was sorting out the herbs in the counter.
Qin Hong didn't answer, just took out the snake gall bladder and put it on the counter. When the old gentleman saw this, he was immediately attracted by it, picked up the snake gall bladder in his hand, examined it carefully, and said with joy on his face:
"This is a python snake gall, judging its year, I'm afraid it's one or two hundred years old, do you plan to sell it?"
"Well, old man, how much do you think this can be sold for?" Qin Hong hurriedly said.
The old gentleman looked at Qin Hong and his son, and said with a deep sigh: "This snake gall can be sold for five taels of silver, I don't know what you think?"
Qin Hong didn't speak, but took out the prescription and put it on the counter: "Old man, do you see if you can change these herbs?"
After taking the prescription, the old gentleman took a closer look, and after a while, he turned his head to the young man and said, "Da Ming, see if there is any dragon tooth grass."
"There's three more bucks, I checked it just now. The young man was very clever and replied immediately.
Hearing the dragon tooth grass, Qin Hong's heart suddenly relaxed, and a stone finally fell to the ground.
The old gentleman took the prescription, pondered for a moment, then picked up the brush and sketched a few strokes on the prescription. Picked up the abacus and crackled for a while before saying:
"Seeing that this prescription is for the treatment of external injuries, the old decay will consider it, and remove some of the excess herbs above, five pairs of herbs, it will take six taels of silver, but seeing that you are hunters in the mountains, life is not easy, so take this snake gall to the top of the tent." ”
Qin Hong was overjoyed when he heard this, and he couldn't stop thanking the old gentleman.
Just as the old gentleman was instructing Da Ming to grab the medicine, four big men suddenly broke into the door, all dressed in black clothes, surrounded by a young man about 20 years old in a five-flower dress.
The young man held a folding fan in his hand and wore a six-edged hard hat obliquely, and when he entered the door, his eyes squinted at everyone in the pharmacy, and he snorted lightly in his nose.
The four big men shouted loudly: "Lao Liu, do you have any Zhu Weizi and Dragon Tooth Grass here?"
When the old gentleman saw the young man, he hurriedly walked out from behind the counter, and at the same time instructed Da Ming to take the chair, and his face was very respectful: "Young Master Zhang, why are you here, what are your orders, just let people pass the word." ”
Young Master Zhang squinted at the old gentleman and waved his hand at one of the attendants, who immediately said, "Just now, the young master went into the mountains to hunt, and the rhubarb accidentally broke his leg, and he needs Zhu Weizi and dragon tooth grass, so if there is, hurry up and bring it." ”
When the old gentleman heard this, his face changed slightly: "Zhu Weizi has it, but the dragon tooth grass was sold to them just now." As he spoke, he pointed to Qin Hong and his son.
The young master didn't even look at Qin Hong, and said with a sullen face: "Lao Tzu needs dragon tooth grass now, no matter who it is, he has to stay." ”
Hearing this, Qin Hong hurriedly stepped forward and said, "Young Master Zhang, we need the Dragon Tooth Grass to take back to save our lives, please raise your noble hand and give it to us." ”
Young Master Zhang looked at Qin Hong, sneered twice in his mouth, twisted his head to the side, and looked disdainful of talking to him. One of the attendants rushed over and shouted:
"You take it back to save your life, haha, rhubarb is worth more than your life, it was bought by our young master who went to Qijiacheng for fifty taels of silver last month. Get out of here, make the young master unhappy, and leave your lives behind. After speaking, he pushed Qin Hong hard.
Qin Hong was originally a hunter, and a surge came up and pushed the big man to the side, and the big man was immediately pushed a few feet away. Then he turned to face Young Master Zhang and said, "You have to come first to buy things, since we bought them first, why should you take them." ”
Young Master Zhang was immediately furious when he saw this, slapped the table, and said to those big men: "Hehe, there are people in Tenglong Town who come first and arrive later than Lao Tzu, I really don't know whether to live or die, come here, throw this unknown thing to the young master."
The big men couldn't help but say, punched and kicked Qin Hong out of the door, and said hatefully: "If you shout again, be careful to beat you all to death." ”
Although Qin Hong was physically strong, he couldn't stand the crowd, and when he was pushed out of the door, he fell under his feet and fell on the street. Qin Fengming saw that his father was beaten, came over to discuss, was slapped by a big man, and was also thrown out of the pharmacy.
At this time, there were already many onlookers on the street. There are bold people who whisper: "Look, the young master of the Zhang family is bullying people again." ”
"God doesn't have long eyes, Tenglong Town has such a thousand knives. ”
Qin Fengming got up and helped his father to stand up, Qin Hong was about to enter the pharmacy again, but a villager pulled him back, and then said:
"Look at whether you are from the mountains, don't go, you can't afford to provoke you, heroes don't fight shili, you still have to endure it. ”
Although he grew up in the mountains, Qin Hong also knew that he would not be able to please him if he went again. So he stood aside and glared angrily at the pharmacy. Qin Fengming had never encountered such a thing, his mind was blank, and he had only one thought in his heart: when he grows up, he must take revenge and make the young master of the Zhang family die a good death.
After a while, the young master of the Zhang family came out of the pharmacy with the evil servants, and seeing that Qin Hong was still standing at the door, the evil servants sneered: "Dare to grab things from my young master in Tenglong Town, I am really impatient, be careful to drag you to the mountains to feed the wolves." ”
After speaking, ignoring Qin Hong's father and son, the young master of the Zhang family took the four evil men and left.
After a while, the old gentleman from the pharmacy walked out of the door, looked around, and said to Qin Hong:
"The Zhang family has a big business in Tenglong Town, Zhang's father is the mayor of Tenglong Town, I heard that the younger son is learning immortal arts in what blood refining gate, his eldest son relies on his father Shili, bullying men and women in Tenglong Town, doing all kinds of evil, you still have to bear with it. ”
Qin Hong wiped the blood from the corners of his mouth, stared at his eyes and did not speak.
The old gentleman pondered for a moment and said, "I will prescribe another prescription for you, although there is no dragon tooth grass to use, you can use other herbs instead, and the effect is not much worse than that one." Grab a few more pills for you, no matter how many injuries you have, you will definitely be able to heal. ”
