Cranes and Blazing Sun - C91

The three of them stood in front of the bonfire and thought back to the days they spent together. The son of a great man had a kind heart, and they couldn’t help but shed tears, unable to contain their sorrow. Unknowingly, the fire had already burnt out and the sky had already brightened. After the three of them packed up Mu Zi Jun’s ashes and packed up her luggage, they jumped onto their horses and galloped away. The three of them rode on their horses at a high speed, not leaving a single trace of Chu Yuxia. At noon, the three of them arrived at a large village. There were more than a hundred families living here. The streets were spacious, and there were many inns and shops.

The three of them walked along the street and saw an inn. They were overjoyed as they did not expect to find an inn here. Although the inn was not big, it was ordinary and not as luxurious as the one in the city. But at least it was an inn, better than sleeping in the forest. The three of them walked into Liu Cheng’s Inn. The waiter welcomed them warmly, saying, “Three guests.” Coming from afar and working hard, please come inside, “Zhang Qingyun led the three to a table and immediately poured each of them a bowl of tea. Then he smiled and said,” Please have a cup of tea first as guests are rushing there. ”

The waiter smiled and said, “No, are the guests going to eat or live in the restaurant?” Zhang Qingyun looked around and felt that the environment wasn’t bad, so he said, “Let’s get two rooms!” After travelling for half a day, I’ll first serve a few good dishes. ” The waiter smiled and said, “Sure, please wait a moment.” Ye Zichen turned around and got a room.

Lei Zhaoting’s long, shapely eyebrows were deeply furrowed, and her face was full of worry. Then, he said worriedly, “Where did Chu Yuxia go? They haven’t been seen along the way. Brother Yun, what should we do now? We only have ten days left.” Where should we go to find Chu Yuxia? ”

Zhang Qingyun was very touched to see Lei Zhaoting so worried for him. With a gentle voice, she said, “Tingting, don’t worry. This is the only village we have come to. Chu Yuxia and the others have nowhere else to go. They will definitely stay nearby.”

Lei Qiuting said, “Although this village is not big, it’s not small either. There are more than a hundred families living here. How are we supposed to find Chu Yuxia? We can’t just go from house to house, can we?” That way, people will even think that we’re bad people, aren’t they just scheming against us? ”

If she wants to quickly cure the internal injuries, she must give her medicine. We only need to ask the waiter later, and as long as there is a medicine store in the village, she will definitely send people to catch them. I will be guarding outside the pharmacy, and we will soon find out where they are hiding.

Lei Qiuting was still worried. “What if there’s no medicine store? What should we do?” Miao Rufei said, “There are so many people living in the village, it’s impossible for them to not have medicine stores. What if someone gets sick? I’m afraid there might be too many medicine stores, so we don’t have enough people to keep an eye on them.”

Before long, the waiter brought four dishes and a bowl of soup, placed them on the table, and gave Zhang Qingyun the two keys. He smiled and said, “Esteemed customer, please enjoy your meal. This is the key to your room.”

Zhang Qingyun smiled as he took the keys and said, “Second brother, thank you. We were rushing on too fast and suddenly felt a bit uncomfortable. Is there a medicine store nearby?”

The waiter said, “Sir, what’s wrong with you? Do you want me to get some medicine for you?” Zhang Qingyun smiled, “There’s no need for that. Just tell me, what’s this village called?” The waiter said, “This village is called Liu Jia Village, and lives in over a hundred families. There are two medicine stores in the west of the east of the village, and most of the villagers went there to catch medicine when they were sick.”

Zhang Qingyun said, “Okay, thank you.” The waiter smiled and said, “No need.” With that, he retreated.

Miao Rufei said happily, “There’s no need for us to worry. There’s only two of them.”

Zhang Qingyun said, “Hmm, let’s finish eating and move out separately. If he gets to the drugstore early, we’ll have to run all morning in vain. ” Upon saying so, the three of them lowered their heads in silence and hurriedly ate to fill their stomachs. After the meal, Zhang Qingyun took care of the eastern medicine store and Lei Miao went to the west side of the village.

Zhang Qingyun walked to the east side of the village and found a auspicious medicine store. He looked at the shop and walked in as if he was a relative. He did not stay outside and hid in a secret place to observe the person who was trying to get the medicine. Upon entering the medicine store, he warmly greeted the shopkeeper and asked, “Boss, how was your business today? How was it?”

The shopkeeper was counting the herbs and smiled when he saw someone enter, “With your blessings, our business is not bad. It’s just that no one has come today. You’re still the first. “May I ask what kind of medicine you are looking for?”

Zhang Qingyun smiled. Thinking that it wasn’t too late, Chu Yuxia still hadn’t arrived yet. “Shopkeeper, I’m not here to catch some medicine. I’m just here to take a look.”

The shopkeeper was about forty years old, with a full mouth of goatee, and his sharp eyes scrutinized Zhang Qingyun closely. Zhang Qingyun felt that he was unfamiliar with this man, so he thought to himself, “I don’t know him, he’s not from here.” He thought, ‘This person came all the way here, not to the pharmacy, but to take a peek. What a blasphemer. He extended his hand to invite Zhang Qingyun to take a seat and said, “Please do.” He then lowered his head to take inventory of the herbs. He ignored him.

Zhang Qingyun looked around and felt that the medicine shop was quite big, so he decided that the business should be pretty good. He then walked into the clinic and took a look around. It seemed like this doctor’s medical skills were not bad. Having been doted on by the villagers, he looked around for a chair to sit on. After half a cup of tea, the shopkeeper finished counting the ingredients. Seeing that Zhang Qingyun was still in the office, he poured a cup of tea and brought it over. “Young master is tired of watching all this. Take a rest and have a cup of hot tea.”

Zhang Qingyun thought that the people here were really friendly and said, “Thank you, Shopkeeper. You can leave it here for now. I’m sorry to bother you!” The shopkeeper said, “You’re welcome, young master. Do you want to hire a doctor? Although our shop’s Doctor Li is an outsider, his medical skills are superb and he is well-received by the villagers. “He’s a rare good doctor.”

Zhang Qingyun smiled and said, “I know that. From the flags on the wall, I can tell that this doctor has great medical skills and is a good doctor.” The storekeeper smiled and said, “Young Master has good eyes, if anyone is feeling uncomfortable, please ask Doctor Li to cure them.” Zhang Qingyun could only smile, “I’m just here to take a look, I’m not here to get a doctor.” “Why haven’t I seen Doctor Li yet?”

The shopkeeper thought to himself, So he’s here to probe the situation. Smiling, he said, “Doctor Li is usually very busy during the day, but now he’s going to Second Aunt Liu’s house to treat her mother-in-law.”

Seeing that the doctor wasn’t sitting in the hall, Zhang Qingyun thought that he had invited Chu Yuxia’s men. He was a step too late. So he was going to treat the villagers, so he was overjoyed.

Seeing the youth’s happy expression, the shopkeeper thought that he had guessed correctly, so he said, “Please have some tea, wait here for a while. Doctor Li will be back soon.” Zhang Qingyun smiled, “I’m not in a hurry. If you have something to do, please go ahead. I’m really not here to get a doctor.”

The shopkeeper’s expression froze, and he thought to himself, “This person came to the pharmacy but didn’t grab any medicine, neither did he see a doctor. Why did he come to the medicine store?” As the bandits have been rampant recently, it is not as if they have come down to harvest more. ” He could not help but feel scared.

Zhang Qingyun suddenly felt fear when he saw the shopkeeper’s face. Although he didn’t know what had happened to him, without a doubt, he was afraid of him. The shopkeeper was stunned. He gathered up his courage and asked, “Then may I ask why young master is here?”

Zhang Qingyun laughed, and it turned out that he was just trying to wake himself up, he said, “Shopkeeper, you need to panic, although I am not here to catch the medicine, but I do not have any ill intentions, I am here to wait for someone.”

The shopkeeper immediately asked, “Young master, who are you waiting for? I know everyone in the village. As long as young master can tell me the name of the person, I can immediately call for you.” It means you’re waiting for someone on the pretext of waiting, so I want to see what you’re going to say.

Zhang Qingyun said, “Don’t misunderstand, I’m not waiting for the villagers, I’m waiting for someone to catch the medicine.” At this time, the shopkeeper became even more suspicious. Coming to the pharmacy to catch medicine or to see a doctor, aren’t you talking nonsense waiting for the person to catch medicine? They thought everyone was like you, coming to the drugstore like crazy and coming all the way here and doing nothing. If this wasn’t a bandit, then what was it? Thus, he could only think of a way to hold him up, hide the truth from him, then report to the pavilion master and capture him.

Zhang Qingyun saw that the shopkeeper’s expression was unsettled, he did not know what he was thinking, and took out ten taels of silver from his bag, “Shopkeeper, may I trouble you to say the name of the medicine out loud, but don’t tell anyone that I’m in the consultation room. “This little bit of silver, please take it to have a cup of tea to moisten your throat.”

The shopkeeper saw Zhang Qingyun take out ten taels of silver, and wondered what she meant by that. He looked like a bandit, but the bandit was more than willing to take out money. Ten taels of silver was a month-long profit for the whole shop, and it was more than just tea, it was almost the equivalent of a year’s wages. He thought to himself, “Even the rich are a bit weird.” He wanted the silver but didn’t dare to extend his hand to receive it. He didn’t know if he had any other intentions.

Zhang Qingyun looked at the shopkeeper, who was salivating but not daring to take a step back. He thought it was funny that the shopkeeper was so timid, so he immediately said, “Shopkeeper, please rest assured that I have no ill intentions and will not do anything that would damage our reputation. I just want to know what kind of medicine the patients are trying to get.”

Although the shopkeeper didn’t know what he was doing, he didn’t want to hurt the store’s reputation, so he said, “That’s all. I have no other intentions.”

Zhang Qingyun said, “That’s it, there’s no other meaning.” The shopkeeper used his sharp eyes to look at Zhang Qingyun again, and felt that this youth was handsome, had a friendly face, and was probably not a bad person other than acting strangely. He might be a rich young master, but he was suddenly curious, and it was not impossible that he wanted to see the person who caught the medicine. Thinking of this, he took the silver and said, “Young Master, please rest here, you have a director, so you can call me, and even if you fall asleep in there, I will definitely wake you up.”

Zhang Qingyun smiled, “No, I’ve come here to see if anyone will fall asleep or not,” the shopkeeper said. “Alright, you can rest here. I’ll go back to work.” Zhang Qingyun said, “Ok, shopkeeper, you can do it.”

The storekeeper turned and walked out of the office. As he did so, he put down the curtain. Zhang Qingyun saw that the storekeeper was very smart. When the curtain was drawn down and someone came outside to get the medicine, how would they know that someone was still hiding in the office? For some reason, even at dusk, no one was able to catch any medicine from this medicine store. It was unknown if the business of this store was too poor, or if the villagers were in good health today. He was waiting anxiously for the error in his calculations. Chu Yuxia didn’t send anyone to get the medicine, but waited for them to come out of the consultation room before she gave them some further thought. Just as he reached the door, the sound of rustling footsteps could be heard. He immediately pressed his body against the wall and lifted the curtain slightly.

He saw an old woman holding a walking stick, hobbling into the pharmacy. The shopkeeper was very kind, so he quickly went to the door to welcome her. He helped her into the pharmacy and immediately brought over a chair, “Old man, please take a seat. What kind of medicine would you like to catch?”

Zhang Qingyun saw that the wrinkles on the old woman’s forehead were deep, but her eyes were still focused. He smiled at the shopkeeper, and her teeth were neat, except for some blackish yellow. But her teeth were still perfectly protected, and she admired how well she protected them.

The old woman slowly said, “Please help this old man catch some medicine,” the shopkeeper said, “Ok, please give me the prescription to catch the medicine.” The old woman took out a piece of old paper. It looked like an old recipe. The writing on the paper was blurry. The shopkeeper took it and looked at it. His expression changed as he said, “Elder, did you take the wrong prescription? Or did you lose a portion of the prescription? This recipe is incomplete.”

The old woman seemed to have not expected the shopkeeper to ask this question and was startled. It took him a long time to regain his senses. Zhang Qingyun saw that when people aged, their reactions would be slow. When he aged, it was the same. He couldn’t even understand what others were saying.

The shopkeeper usually gave the prescription to the patient and grabbed it immediately. As long as there was no poison in the prescription, why would he care that the prescription was incomplete? Unexpectedly, she met a very good shopkeeper,

The old woman said slowly, “I did not take the wrong medicine. The doctor gave me these because I still have some that I can grow in my own home.” In order to save money for this old body, the doctor only prescribed these medicines. ”

The shopkeeper thought to himself, it’s really not easy to earn money in this world, not to mention an old man who can save money, so he immediately said, “So it’s like that.” “Please wait a moment, I’ll get you the medicine right away.”

Zhang Qingyun felt that this old woman was truly pitiful. She was already so old, yet she still had to come alone to capture medicine. She actually did not have any family members accompanying her. The shopkeeper loudly reported, “Angelica is three taels and eight dollars.” “4 taels of silver for medlar …” He reported more than ten spices in a row. His voice was so loud that he could even hear the street across the street.

The old woman seemed to be deafened. “Shopkeeper, why are you so loud?” Although I am old, my ears are still useful. ” The shopkeeper smiled at the old woman apologetically, but his voice was still as loud as before.

The old woman had no choice but to endure his deafening noise, thinking that he was born with a loud voice. There was no suspicion that someone else was hiding in the office.
