Help! I just woke up and was stabbed by a big kid

"I'm telling you to find some people to try the pills, but they have to know the origin, otherwise how can you observe the effects?" The steward frowned.

"This person is perfect. Isn't it said that the medicine is a magical medicine that not only relieves pain but also makes people feel as if they are in heaven?" The waiter whispered, "Although this person is not from here, if he finds the medicine effective, he will naturally come back."

"You have to be careful." The steward said, "I'll go meet him."

……

Gu Yue waited for a while but saw no movement, and shouted: "Hey guys! Hey guys! Where are the people! Are you going to kill me here in pain? Ah? Someone come——"

"Sir, sir, stop shouting!" The steward hurried out from behind.

"Who are you? Are you the owner of this medicine shop? You came just in time." Gu Yue had a painful expression on his face, tightly holding his calf: "What medicine do you have in this medicine shop that can quickly relieve the pain in my rotten leg? I can't stand it anymore!"

"Sir, please be patient. Where did you hear about our pharmacy?" The manager sat next to him affectionately and the waiter served two cups of tea.

Gu Yue didn't answer, but tilted his head to look at the cup: "Medicine? ...Tea, I don't drink tea!"

He didn't dare drink it! It would be terrible if there was something bad in it.

"Don't worry, I have to take a look before I can prescribe the right medicine, right?" The steward said with a smile, "Please stretch out your hand, I'll take your pulse and see what's wrong with your leg."

Gu Yue immediately showed a grateful expression and stretched out his hand.

That was close! Fortunately, he was really crippled! But can you feel a broken bone?

The steward took the patient's pulse and felt it carefully.

First of all, it can be confirmed that this person is just an ordinary person, without any internal strength. His physique is relatively strong, but he seems to be tired from running around, and he also looks a bit hysterical.

He just yelled and screamed for no reason, so I guess his mental state is not good. People who have been suffering from illness for a long time often have such symptoms.

The steward stroked his beard and nodded.

"How is it?" Gu Yue asked nervously.

"Where did you hear about our pharmacy?" The steward withdrew his hand and asked him to stretch out his leg. "What's the matter with this leg?"

"A doctor in a small village said so. He gave me acupuncture several times and it was indeed effective, but he told me to try my luck at Baoshun Pharmacy in Guozhou to see if there was any medicine I could take." Gu Yue replied, "I broke my leg while working in the fields. It's been many years."

The steward touched Gu Yue's calf and pinched the bones inch by inch. When he pinched a certain spot, Gu Yue screamed and cold sweat broke out.

It hurts so much!

This is not acting anymore!

The steward carefully observed his reaction and found it reliable.

"Who are you?" asked the steward.

"I'm from Hangzhou County." Gu Yue smiled innocently.

"Oh? The accent doesn't sound like that." The manager was suspicious.

What's your accent? I speak standard Mandarin!

"My ancestral home is not in Hangzhou County. I was adopted by my parents." Gu Yue responded improvisationally. How could an NPC be more difficult to deceive than the male protagonist?

"Hmm..." The steward basically dispelled his doubts. He asked Gu Yue to come to the small room inside. Gu Yue stood up and limped into the room.

Shi San and his companions who were lying in ambush outside suddenly became nervous. However, they did not dare to get too close and could only observe from a distance through the half-open window.

The small room at the back leads to the backyard of the medicine shop. Through a bamboo curtain, you can see many little pharmacists busy at the back, drying and grinding the medicine.

The steward waved his hand, and a little medicine boy in the room went out to avoid it.

"Your leg disease has been going on for a long time and it is difficult to recover." The steward said, "But I do have a secret medicine that can relieve your pain."

"Really?!" Gu Yue was overjoyed, and the expression on his face seemed uncontrollable. "Thank you, doctor. Thank you, doctor!"

"Don't thank me yet." The manager waved his hand and told the waiter to get it. "This medicine is precious. I can only give you one pill at a time. If you think it works, I will give you another pill."

Gu Yue hesitated for a moment.

But when he got the little red pill, Gu Yue couldn't control himself and his hands were shaking with excitement.

Really got it!

It was almost certain that this was the medicine made from the poisonous grass. Gu Yue knew that there were some state-owned planting bases that grew these things, which were closely guarded by the armed police. The plants there were used to make controlled drugs.

This drug is usually used to relieve pain.

He wanted to try his luck and use his leg pain as an excuse to ask the people in the medicine shop for some information. It would be good if he could infer some information from a few words. Unexpectedly, things went so smoothly and he actually got the medicine directly?

"Aren't you having leg pain? Eat quickly." The manager said with a smile.

Gu Yue had a layer of sweat on his back.

He put the medicine into his mouth.

"By the way, doctor, I haven't asked the price of this medicine yet?" Gu Yue suddenly stopped and his face became cautious.

"Five taels." The steward said casually.

"Okay, then... the silver I just gave you..." Gu Yue kept looking at the waiter.

"...It's ready. You can eat it." The steward frowned.

"What about the rest?" Gu Yue stretched out his hand.

"What's left?" the steward was confused.

Gu Yue's expression suddenly changed: "This... this, could it be five taels per pill? So expensive..."

Seeing him dithering, the steward became impatient. He wanted to say that five taels of silver was one bottle, but the man would not become addicted immediately after taking the medicine, and if he could not give him a bottle, he would definitely make a fuss. The situation would be out of control.

"Your legs don't hurt anymore?" the steward urged. "It's good to stop the pain first!"

Gu Yue's expression was twisted into a ball, and it looked like "my legs hurt, and my flesh hurts even more."

"Well, my legs don't hurt so much now. I'd better take this medicine back and take it when I can't bear it anymore." Gu Yue took out a handkerchief and wrapped the pills preciously.

The manager can’t force the food on him, right?

If the amount was large enough that people could easily drink it, Gu Yue wouldn't have to perform here for so long.

Things turned out exactly as Gu Yue had imagined.

The manager regretted giving him the medicine, but five taels of silver was indeed not a small sum for ordinary people, so it was reasonable for this middle-aged man to feel the pain. It was his fault for talking too quickly.

But he couldn't offer a lower price, as the manager was afraid that the man would bid for a silver ingot. Even if he asked for a hundred pills, he didn't have that many to give him.

Regret. Just deep regret.

However, if this person becomes addicted after taking one pill, he will naturally come back in the future.

Thinking of this, the steward smiled with relief and said, "It's okay. Five taels is indeed not a small amount. It's just that this medicine is a secret recipe of my pharmacy, so I can't give you more. If you need it again, just come back and buy it."

"Yes, I'll try it when I get back." Gu Yue's expression was touched. "But doctor, I can't stay in Guozhou Prefecture for long. I have an old mother to take care of at home... Can you sell this medicine somewhere else? I heard that there is also a Baoshun Pharmacy in Jiangnan Road. Are you the same company?"

"That's true, but this medicine is currently only available in my store, so you'd better stay." said the manager.

Once you become addicted, who will care about your old mother? The manager chuckled in his heart.

What a piece of shit! Gu Yue cursed him in his heart, but smiled: "Okay, I'll think of another way. Thank you, doctor!"

Then, Gu Yue limped towards the door with the medicine in his arms.

"Wait!" the steward suddenly said.
