Great Xia, in the territory of Yunzhou.

On a trail called the Fracture Mountains.

A gray-clothed boy about ten years old, carrying a bundle of dry firewood collected from the mountains, was hurrying home.

Then.

A dark cloud floated overhead at some point, instantly obscuring the sun, and black crows appeared all around.

"No, we have to go back quickly!" the young man let out a dark sigh and quickened his pace.

As if God couldn't get past him, a few rumbling thunders rang out, mixed with a few flashes of lightning, and the raindrops fell densely like beans.

The boy couldn't hide, and in a moment his whole body was wet and slid down the water.

In the pouring rain, he shivered, looked around for a while, and saw a cave not far away, so he staggered over with wet firewood on his back.

The torrential rain was non-stop, and the thunder was bursting, interspersed with a few dazzling lightning bolts from time to time.

The rain kept coming, and gradually gathered into a stream of mud and rocks that roared downward.

It seems that this torrential rain will not stop for a while.

The boy went into the hole, picked up some dry wood and grass in the hole, and piled it into a small pile.

After lighting it with flint, he pulled out a few stout sticks from the firewood and built a simple wooden frame.

I took off my clothes, wrung them out of the water stains, and baked them on a wooden rack.

After adding some firewood and grass, the fire gradually grew stronger, illuminating the gloomy cave.

Through the fire, a green light flashed from the innermost part of the cave wall.

The boy was startled, and hurriedly pulled out a burning stick from the fire, and looked warily at the cave wall.

After a long time, there was no reaction from the cave wall except for a flash of green light.

He took the stick of fire and boldly leaned in.

When I got closer, I found a dark green artifact on the wall of the cave.

The firelight shone on it, reflecting a green glow.

The walls of the cave were relatively humid, and the young man used his hands to pick open the wet soil and pull out the utensils.

Wipe the dirt stains on it, and the utensils show their true face.

It turned out to be a palm-sized mirror, the mirror surface is like blue, delicate and simple.

The mirror is carved with intricate mysterious patterns, and the back depicts a woman in plain clothes.

Where this mirror came from and how it appeared in the cave is a mystery.

Outside, the rain had stopped, the clouds had dispersed, and the sun was poking its head out, and the sun was shining on the earth.

The boy put on his clothes, took the mirror into his arms, picked up the firewood, and walked out of the cave.

At the foot of the mountain, there is a village of more than 20 households, Qingniu Village.

Most of the villagers have the surname Li, and their lives are mainly based on farming.

In a small farmhouse courtyard in the west of the village, there stood a middle-aged man in his forties.

He looked anxious, and next to him stood a woman in a green shirt with the same expression on her face.

A sixteen or seventeen-year-old boy in gorgeous clothes leaned against the door.

With a "creak", the courtyard door opened, and the boy walked in sweating profusely.

He walked in a corner shed in the courtyard, put down the firewood on his back, and placed it there.

"Tired, come in and eat. ”

When they saw him return, the man and the woman were anxious and hurriedly called him into the house to eat.

"Got it, Dad, Mother".

The young man sensibly answered, and followed the middle-aged man into the hut.

On a small square table in the hut, a woman served a hot meal, and several people sat around to eat.

The meal was very sweet, and it didn't take long to eat.

The young man put down the bowl and looked at the young man who was helping the woman clean up the dishes and chopsticks next to him, a young man who looked not much older than him and was dressed in a fine costume, with a look of envy on his face.

Seeing this, the middle-aged man laughed and touched his head.

"Li Fan, you are thirteen years old this year, and you can't stay at home all the time.

I heard Li Ping say that there is a big pharmacy in the city that is recruiting guys. I will discuss with your mother and ask him to take you to that pharmacy to do some work, and you should be diligent, learn some medicine there, and see the world. ”

I haven't been to the city since I was a child, and I've heard that it's very lively and there are a lot of good food and fun.

Thinking of this, Li Fan nodded happily and agreed.

Then the family sat together and chatted, talking and laughing until late.

The young man in Chinese clothes is named Li Ping, Li Fan's eldest brother, introduced by an acquaintance a few years ago, he worked in a pawnshop in the city, and he mixed well.

It's just that it's rare to go home once a year, and this time when I came back, the two brothers talked endlessly.

The next day, the two got up early, stepped on the big red horse at home, said goodbye to their parents, rode their horses and whips, and disappeared at the entrance of the village.

Qingfeng City.

It is located in the northwest corner of Yunzhou, covering an area of two or three hundred acres, with a large population density, and merchants come and go, which is extremely lively.

At noon that day, a big red horse walked along the city gate through the bustling crowd and through a lively neighborhood to the door of a pharmacy called Qingfutang.

The two teenagers who came down immediately were Li Ping and Li Fan.

Li Ping glanced at the door of the half-open pharmacy and pulled Li Fan in.

The inside of the shop was deserted, and there was a strong smell of herbs.

On both sides, there are more than a dozen medicine shelves of different heights, placing various medicinal materials.

Walked through the medicine shelf and came to a counter, but saw a fat man in his thirties with round head and big ears sitting inside.

Li Ping pulled Li Fan over and gave the fat man an introduction.

The fat man's surname is Gu, and he is the shopkeeper of this pharmacy.

Shopkeeper Gu pulled some household chores with Li Fan, chatted about some trivial matters, and saw that he was more honest, so he agreed to let him stay.

After talking about a few rules in the store and the monthly salary, he called out a guy named Zhang Gui who was busy grabbing medicine in the front hall, and took Li Fan to the back hall to change into a guy's clothes, which was a member of Qingfeng Pharmacy.

After the matter was done, Li Ping said goodbye, and when he went out, he did not forget to tell one or two things, let Li Fan respect the rules and keep his distance, and don't make trouble.

Qingfeng Medicine Hall is not big, except for Zhang Gui's buddy, everything else is that the shopkeeper Gu is busy coming and going.

At first, Li Fan was just doing some errands, and when there were many patients and Zhang Gui was too busy, he called over and asked him to help catch the medicine according to the formula.

With the passage of time, Li Fan slowly became familiar with the medicinal materials on some basic and simple prescriptions.

In the process of grasping the medicine, it is no longer necessary to rummage through the boxes and cabinets, and carefully observe and compare each herb for half a day before starting, but skillfully find the corresponding position.

Take a medicine scale, weigh out the corresponding medicine, and after it is prepared, hand it to Zhang Gui.

Because of his cautiousness and carefulness, and diligent and inquisitive, Li Fan did not have a trace of deviation in the process of grasping medicine.

Zhang Gui gradually reassured him to give him some more complicated prescriptions and let him dispense them according to the prescription.

Not long after, Li Fan became familiar with the medicines on these arrays on the medicine shelves, and could accurately find the medicinal materials on the medicine shelves, match them according to the formula, and hand them over to Zhang Gui.

After dealing with these medicinal materials for a long time, Li Fan has a general understanding of the medicinal properties and curative effects of various medicinal materials.
