Chapter 40 The Pharmacy
There was a hut next to the stables, which was simple but well stocked, with pots and pans and chairs.
After tying Ma Niexiao, he took Shi Yue to the street again.
As they walked forward, the two of them passed a street full of pharmacies, and there were many fewer people here than before, but there were still many people coming in and out of the pharmacy door.
Shiyue has always been worried about his injuries, but she doesn't know how to care for another person since she was a child.
"Otherwise, let's go buy some medicine. β
Shi Yue said very softly, but fortunately, it was not noisy around.
Dugu Yuanchen touched his chest, pressed it in, and suddenly felt tightness and shortness of breath, and scolded in his heart: "This stinky monk, kung fu is really not shallow." β
So the two of them casually found a pharmacy to go into, the pharmacy had no windows, and the door was also small, so it was a little dim inside.
When the two of them entered the door, they felt a yin wind coming towards them, and after a shiver all over their bodies, nothing happened, and the two of them looked at each other and saw the strange look in each other's eyes.
There were many people waiting next to him, holding the prescription in their hands, waiting for the medicine boy to grab the medicine. The medicine boy was an eleven or twelve-year-old boy with a huge medicine cabinet behind him, and many times he frowned when he held the prescription in his hand, indicating that there must be one or several flavors of medicine in it. He couldn't reach it, so he had to bring a chair and stand on it to catch the medicine, and then he had to move the chair away, so he was sweating profusely.
Dugu Yuanchen saw a Taishi chair placed next to a table of eight immortals, and on the chair sat an old man with crane hair and a childish face, and a gray beard was held up to his chest.
Dugu Yuanchen thought that this was the doctor, so he stepped forward and sat down to talk about his situation.
Before he could speak, the old doctor with a childish face said, "Don't talk to anyone who comes!"
The old man seemed to be in good spirits, but he was a little weak to speak.
Dugu Yuanchen was puzzled in his heart, "How can I see a doctor if I don't speak?"
Turning her eyes to look at Shi Yue behind her, she was staring at those people queuing up to get medicine. Those people were all disgraced, as white as the dead, and they walked without a sound, and I don't know if it was because they were too sick, but they always felt that they were very light.
Perhaps sensing Shi Yue's gaze, one of the people who took the medicine turned around and smiled at Shi Yue, and then went out and disappeared into the street.
Dugu Yuanchen didn't notice the man, because he had been looking at Shi Yue all the time.
Shi Yue seemed to have lost her soul at the moment, her eyes were blank and she stood there without moving, her face became whiter and whiter, and finally she was as white as a piece of paper.
Dugu Yuanchen felt weird, and got up and stood beside Shi Yue, but he didn't know what to do at this time, and he could only look anxiously at Shi Yue, whose face was getting whiter and paler.
Dugu Yuanchen was about to take Shi Yue's hand and leave this place, as soon as he stretched out his hand, he felt that one hand had 10,000 catties, he couldn't lift or move, and he couldn't even bend his fingers.
Although he couldn't move, he was clear-headed. Suddenly I remembered a voice like a mosquito, "Don't talk, don't move." β
As soon as Dugu Yuanchen heard this voice, he knew that it was the voice of the old man on the Taishi's chair, and immediately cast an inquiring glance at him.
At this moment, he was in a hurry, and his thinking was limited in his urgency, and he had no energy to think about why the old man could speak in his ear while sitting in a chair.
But he discovers an even bigger secret.
The old man looked to the side, and Dugu Yuanchen followed his gaze, thinking that there were all people holding medicine over there, what's so strange?
Suddenly, as if he had suddenly figured out something, cold sweat soaked from his vest and soaked his clothes.
For he suddenly remembered that he had not heard anyone speak since he had beaten them into the house.
The silence made him feel a little strange.
I don't know how long it took, those people who took the medicine finally left, Dugu Yuanchen felt that his body was lightened all of a sudden, and suddenly he was unrestrained and almost fell directly to the ground.
Before he could speak, the old man descended from the sky like a black eagle, stretched out a finger and pressed it on Shi Yue's forehead.
Dugu Yuanchen felt that the weather aura had changed dramatically at this moment, and something had been drilling into Shi Yue's body.
Eventually, her face gradually regained her rosiness, and her gaze was no longer glazed.
The old man took his hand away, and Shi Yue's body was weak, and Dugu Yuanchen hurriedly reached out to support him.
Shi Yue rubbed her forehead with her hand, feeling weak: "What's wrong with me?"
The old man said: "It's nothing, the old injury has not healed, and with the fatigue of running around, my body is weak." β
I don't know when the old man has an extra medicine bowl in his hand, and the faΓ§ade is a clear green liquid, "Drink this medicine and you'll be fine." β
Dugu Yuanchen looked at the old man and stopped talking, judging from his actions just now, there should be no malice, but he always felt that things were not simple.
The old man quietly stretched out his hand and pressed it, signaling Dugu Yuanchen not to speak, so as not to arouse Shi Yue's suspicion.
Shi Yue drank the medicine, and the person immediately softened into a mess of mud, unconscious, and fell into Dugu Yuanchen's arms.
There was anger in Dugu Yuanchen's eyes, "Could it be that this old man harms people?"
The old man didn't care about him, and said to himself, "You should have a lot of questions to ask." β
Dugu Yuanchen helped Shiyue sit down: "Can you speak now?"
The old man nodded.
Dugu Yuanchen pointed at Shi Yue, "What's going on?"
"She's just been hooked, and I've pulled her back into my body, and she's okay now. But the hook soul is extremely hurtful, and she has been injured before and her body is already weak, if she is forced to live like an ordinary person, it will definitely leave hidden dangers. So I gave her a bowl of requiem soup, and went back to sleep and eat some meat to replenish her body. β
"Young man, this is your first time here, right?"
Dugu Yuanchen saw that he had no malicious intent, and his attitude eased a lot: "That's right." β
"Haven't heard of this place before?"
"I'm not afraid of your old man's jokes, we were chased and killed by mistake into the precious treasure land, I don't even know where this is, and where have I heard of this place!"
The old man laughed twice, "That's the same. β
"I heard you speak, although the masculinity is sufficient, the middle qi is unstable, I think your internal injuries have not healed. β
"The old gentleman has superb medical skills, and he listens to the symptoms of the disease just from listening to people, which is really admirable. β
The old man stroked his beard with a slight smile on his face: "Raise your hand, I'll take your pulse." β
Dugu Yuanchen put his hand on the table, and as soon as the old gentleman's fingers touched it, his whole body was like an electric shock, and his limbs were no longer controlled by himself.
The black-sheathed ancient sword on his waist trembled incessantly, and it had the potential to break out of the sheath.
Dugu Yuanchen couldn't move his body at the moment, for fear that the long sword would fly out and accidentally hurt others, so he was very anxious. Because judging from the old gentleman's breath, he did not mean to hurt people, but had the heart to save people.
With the rhythm of the old man's fingers, the qi and blood in Dugu Yuanchen's body surged, sometimes like a big river flowing straight down from the top of the mountain, when it was like the frozen water of the cold winter wax moon suddenly broke the ice, and the face was cold and hot, but the heart was safe.
Gu Jian became more and more excited, and the trembling sound was inaudible at first but now sharp and piercing. Dugu Yuanchen could feel that it wanted to break through the sheath and fly out, and even felt that it was hitting forward, but for some reason there was a huge net in front of it blocking its way, and no matter how it attacked, it was in vain.
