"Rock sugar gourd...... Rock sugar gourd ......"

"Freshly baked buns ~ fresh meat buns ......"

When the earth was still silent in winter sleep, Qingshan Town was already full of people and steaming.

It's the only street in town where you can gather, and it's lined with shops for everything. Vendors set up long tables covered with rouge, perfume, jewelry, and fabrics, or put fruits, vegetables, and melons on the stone pavement. Shouting at the top of his voice, for fear of missing any customer.

The road was bustling with pedestrians, and there were old men squatting on the ground with firewood on their backs, bargaining with vendors, wanting to exchange the things they had worked in the morning for oil, salt and vegetables. There are also good men and women who stay in front of the jewelry table, their cheeks swaying against the blurred bronze mirror, their hands clasped together, fiddling with headbands, and bursts of laughter like copper bells. The scholars are delicate, holding paper fans, in groups of three or five, gathered in front of the calligraphy and painting stalls, and commented on their heads......

These people were all neatly dressed, and they seemed to be eager to put on the new clothes at the bottom of the box. The flowers are green, like butterflies frolicking among the flowers.

At this moment an old woman walked in the crowd, walking in a hurry, holding a wooden cane. There is a bamboo apple hanging on the back, and there seems to be a green surge in the carrot, which is lush and green.

Dressed in a coarse cloth tea robe, with an earthy yellow bib wrapped around his head, his face was full of wrinkles but could not hide his clear eyes. Without squinting, she hurried straight to a building on the street, and the items sold at the rally seemed to have nothing to do with it, and she wouldn't even look at them again. At most, I stopped and wiped the beads of sweat from my forehead with the back of my rough hand.

Soon, she walked to a large building. This is the only pharmacy in the town, decorated in an antique style, with a plaque that reads: Zhenlong Pharmacy.

The old woman stopped at the door for a moment, straightened her collar, fiddled with her messy hair, and walked in.

"Little Brother ......"

"Little brother!"

Walking into the pharmacy, a wave of resplendent came to my face. On the left, a long row of herbs is laid with silk cloth and carefully placed on the table. The more precious medicines on the right are stored directly in small drawers, and the names are written on the outside with strips of cloth, which are neatly aligned. In the middle, there are stone statues of turtles and golden toads, and the two are dedicated to the god of medicine, which is solemn and majestic.

"Early in the morning, who's it?" a sleepy-eyed junior raised his head from the counter and yawned.

"This little brother, can you please inform the shopkeeper Wang? The old woman stood cautiously on the clean ground, lest she bring in the mud from her shoes. She took off the scarf from her head, revealing a delicate face, which, though covered with many wrinkles, could hardly conceal the graceful demeanor of a woman.

"It's you, wait, I'll call someone to tell you. Xiao Er seemed to know that she would come, and hurriedly called the assistant in the middle to call the master. Then he swept away the decadence, trotted out to beckon the old woman to take a seat, and made a cup of tea.

After a while, the roller shutter opened, and a fat man in his mid-middle years staggered out.

Before he could take his seat, he kept apologizing, as if he were a VIP sitting in front of him, showing the tactfulness of a businessman.

"I'm really sorry, I'm busy with trivial matters today, so I made you wait for a long time. ”

"I didn't ...... It's okay. The old woman felt a little uncomfortable, after all, she was not here to buy medicine, and she was a little flattered.

"I don't know if I picked the dragon beard grass? You see, the second son of the Li family has been sending people to ask for it. But the amount last time was too small, and it couldn't be turned around for a while. The fat man went straight to the point before he was hot, and he was very anxious in his heart.

"Not much, but a little bit more than last time. After saying that, the old woman took off the bamboo and put it in front of her. As soon as I opened the lid of the carrot, a fragrance was in my nose, and the dragon's beard grass was about to come out.

"Madame, wait a moment, and when I go inside to check the color of the herbs, I will let my servants exchange the broken silver for you. The king's shopkeeper was overjoyed, and he hugged Zhuluo tightly in his arms and walked inside.

"It's okay, you're busy. I'll just sit here for a while. ”

He hurried in, and Xiao Er followed closely behind him to help him open the curtain.

"Master, isn't she just a medicine picker!Why are you so polite to her, is this dragon beard grass so magical?" Xiao Er asked as he walked, looking puzzled.

"You know the! This bamboo herb can sell for at least a few ingots of gold. Not to mention exchanging it for broken silver, even if it costs a few ingots of whole silver, I am willing. The shopkeeper looked angry, but as soon as he turned his head and saw the green dragon's beard grass, his face was like a flower, and he couldn't smile from ear to ear.

"The second son of the Li family is in retreat and is at the fifth level of the Shock Body Strengthening Technique, and this kind of devil training is extremely harmful to himself. When the physical body suffers a heavy blow, the internal force will also be damaged accordingly. Countless herbs are not effective in restoring physical strength, and spending precious medicines has no effect. Only this green dragon's beard grass is full of magic, and when applied to wounds, it can heal quickly, and when taken into the body, it can heal wounds. ”

As he spoke, the shopkeeper poured the dragon's beard grass from the bamboo into a mahogany box, and added a large lock by the way. "After the old woman is gone, find a few henchmen to guard day and night. The herbs are first washed, dried, and then ground into a powder and packed into several beautiful bottles. If you package it like this, you can at least sell it for a little more money. ”

After saying that, he walked outside, and Xiao Er muttered in the back. "Since this dragon beard grass is so valuable, then I'll pick some tomorrow morning, so that I can make some extra money. ”

Before the words fell, the shopkeeper Wang hurriedly stopped and turned to look at him. "You don't want to die?"

Xiao Er looked at him blankly, confused.

Shopkeeper Wang pulled him aside, "Do you know the origin of the Dragon Whisker Grass, the alchemy technique was created by the Sun Moon Divine Palace, and this herb only grows in the back of the Divine Palace, don't you feel the slightest connection between the two?"

"What's the connection?" Xiao Er asked.

"Everyone is talking about this strange thing, there was no dragon beard grass before, but it suddenly appeared in the past year. Originally, it was regarded as a weed, but later a medicine man accidentally picked a few sticks and mixed them in the prescription very casually, and found that they had strange medicinal effects. In particular, it is used for the damage suffered in alchemy, and the healing effect is remarkable. ”

"That has nothing to do with alchemy, at most it's just a secondary potion for skills. Xiao Er replied.

Shopkeeper Wang's eyes widened, he lowered his voice and said mysteriously. When the medicine man discovered this curative effect, he made the remaining dragon beard into a pill and gave it to a seriously injured patient, and the person who took it was cured. He panicked and hurriedly rushed to Tongtianya to continue picking. But before dawn when he came back from picking, he died in his own bed, bleeding from seven holes, and his condition was extremely miserable! Later, people went to pick one after another, and the result was the same fate. ”

After hearing this, Xiao Er was shocked. Fortunately, he told the master what he was thinking, and if he went secretly, the consequences would be unimaginable.
