Chapter 18: Treasure
"Hum." Xiao Yi snorted coldly, "99 wins, 100
losses, 108 draws. Now you've only got one game ahead. What's your poor
pride?" With that, he glared at Nangong Yue fiercely. It's a pity that his
beautiful appearance doesn't have a trace of sharpness. It just makes people
feel that the angry beauty has a special style. "Stinky girl, blame you!
Remember it for me!" He did not blame the wrong person. If Nangong
Yue did not appear suddenly, the sick woman just now would be the 100th person
to enter the pharmacy; if Nangong Yue did not give directions to Dr. Li's
prescription, she would be the 100th person to enter the pharmacy. In either
case, the winner will be Xiao Yi.
Nangong Yue could not help but covered in blacklines(-
_-|||), almost suspected that she had recognized the wrong person. At present,
this dandy is far from the style of Zhennan Wang that she knows. Where is the
cold-blooded and gloomy, scheming deep?
"A Yi, if you agree to bet you must accept to
lose. Is it nice to be a little demeanor? Don't intimidate the other’s meimei,
look you frighten the other family little girl..." Chen Quying opened the
paper fan, saying sarcastic words on one side, "Oh, by the way, don't
forget our stakes."
The two men quarreled noisily. The old man suddenly bowed to
Xiao Yi and said: "This Gongzi, I don't know what the Gongzi’s bet
is? Since the Gongzi lost because of the old man this time, it is better
to let the old man..."
"Do you think I can't afford to lose?!" Xiao
Yi interrupted the other party in a vicious voice, "this is my bet with
QuYing. It's none of your old man's business! Well, it's boring. I'll go first!"
He swung his sleeve angrily, patted his buttocks and left.
But Chen Quying didn't follow him. He said with a calm
smile, "My brother Xiao is always childish. It’s really joke." He
fanned his fan and looked around. "I'll take a look. Please don't mind
me." The medicine shop is very spacious, with neat rows of medicine
cabinets standing against the wall high up to the roof. The medicine cabinet is
also equipped with a movable ladder. The staffs perform their own duties and
everything is in order. It is worthy of being a famous hundred year old
medicine shop in wangdu.
"Little girl," the old man looked at Nangong Yue
again, with a very kind attitude, "what medicine do you need, just
ask."
Nangong Yue looked around the row of medicine cabinets and
reported a series of medicine names: "I want Motherwort, Equisetum,
Prunella vulgaris, Daqingye, Hanshan purple mushroom, Shouwu vine." After
a pause, she added a sentence, "I'll choose for myself."
"You..." Dr. Li felt that the little girl was too
difficult to serve. He was about to say something, but he grandfather raised he
hand to stop he.
"Just like the little girl said."
With a word from the old man, a few drawers full of herbs
were moved to Nangong Yue.
Nangong Yue calmly picked to pick up. Each kind of herbal
medicine is packed in a bag. Until the medicine cabinet with "Hanshan Zizhi"
had written, the corner of her mouth hook.
Found it!
She took out one of the Hanshan Zizhi in half of the cabinet
through a pink veil.
It looks like a purple mushroom, palm size, umbrella shaped
mushroom body, surface potholes, looks really bad.
This, let alone Doctor Li, even ordinary people who don't
understand medicine can see it, and can't help whispering. Dr. Li felt like he
was bullying a child, and couldn't help saying: "Little..."
Before he finished speaking, he was interrupted by the old
man again: "Wencheng, don't say much."
Chen Quying looked at Nangong Yue with great interest and
thought: this little girl doesn't look like a fool. What is she plotting? It's
interesting
Nangong Yue was seen to have goose bumps. He was in a good
mood when he thought that the purpose of the trip had been achieved. He put
away what should have been well and bowed to the old man with a smile, "thank
you very much." Her gift is not for anything else, but for the integrity
of the old man. She believed that even if the other party didn't know, he could
see it now…
"The girl is polite. My grandson is careless, not as
good as the girl." The old man smiled calmly which made Dr. Li's face
flushed.
Nangong Yue raised her brows, as if thinking of something,
and then asked, "Old doctor, do you have silver needles for sale
here?" Although she only found a medicine and there are still several ingredients
were missing. With the silver needles, she can begin to help her brother
heal... the human brain is extremely fragile and complicated. This will be an
extremely long and difficult treatment process!
Dr. Li, like a cat stepping on his tail, blew his hair
again. "Hey, you think we are..."
"Wencheng, go and get a set of my silver needles."
The old man said decisively that Dr. Li could only follow his orders and
quickly took a wooden box from the backyard.
Nangong Yue opened the box and saw dozens of silver needles
neatly placed inside. When she saw the luster, she knew that the texture was
good. She nodded with satisfaction and gave Dr. Xiao Li a silver note.
"This is silver needle’s money." Not waiting for
the other party's reaction, she bowed to each other again, "old master,
goodbye." With that, she led An Niang out of the drugstore. As she
passed by Chen Quying's side, she gave him a casual look, and then plunged into
the crowd, and her small figure disappeared quickly.
"Grandfather," said Dr. Li, looking at the silver
note in his hand, there were more than one hundred taels, enough money for
medicine. He hesitated for a while and could not help but ask, "That Hanshan
Zizhi is clearly not in good taste. Why did the little girl choose it?"
The old man looked at his grandson with a little
helplessness, and with heavy sigh said: "Wencheng, you are still a little
bit hotter. It seems that grandfather will have to take care of you for a few
more years." A year ago, the old man had already handed over the medicine
shop. The grandson, Dr. Li, had a lot of money to play with his grandson, and
listening to what he meant at the moment, he was going to come out again.
"Grandfather..." Dr. Li was more and more ashamed.
"Wencheng," the old man said unhurriedly,
"you look clear."
He had other deep meaning shook his head and continued:
"It's not Hanshan Zizhi at all, but Bingxin Zizhi."
"Bingxin Zizhi!?" Dr. Li couldn't help but
whispered, "Bingxin Zizhi is rare in a century. It is said that it can
cure all kinds of toxins, cure all diseases, and has the effect of prolonging
life."
When the onlookers heard it, they suddenly boiled like
boiling water and whispered.
"Old man, since it's so precious, why did you give it
away?" Chen Quying curiously put his face between the grandfather and
grandson. Her eyes were bright, but she didn't stand up and looked like a dandy.
The old man stroked his long beard and said with a smile,
"A word from a gentleman can never be recalled."
Hearing the speech, people can't help but respect. The old
man had been practicing medicine in Wangdu for many years, and his reputation
was well known. After this, he was more and more respected. After that, the
business of Li's pharmacy became more and more prosperous. This is a later
remark.
At this time, the old man suddenly sighed and said, "Well,
the little girl is very poor. She is very young, but she is short of Qi and
blood. If she is not recuperated, she may not live to be 20 years old. I hope Bingxin
can help her…”
After hearing this, Chen Quying's body was shocked, and
Nangong Yue's delicate and lovely face appeared in his mind, which was as
beautiful as a porcelain doll. Unexpectedly...
The little girl was very good at medicine at a young age.
She looked like an ordinary servant girl in her dress, but her words and deeds
were extraordinary. And the woman around her, who was called as An Aunt by her,
was more like a servant than an elder. Who the hell is she?
Chen Quying was thoughtful and could not help looking at the
direction Nangong Yue left.
