Neither of them was influenced by Kang Tae-se and they continued to do what they were supposed to do.

Si Lu took Jiang Yan to Jianzi Hutong to find a man named Lei Zi.

"This Lei Zi is not simple, he has a profound family background."

Jiang Yan guessed a little and couldn't help asking, "Are you studying medicine?"

"Almost! His family was rich in the early years, and they started out in the medicinal materials business. Medicine and pharmacy have been inseparable since ancient times, but in his case, it seems that the skill of treating illnesses has been lost, and the only thing left is the ability to deal in medicinal materials."

The two walked into Jianzi Hutong, and the noise followed.

The children were running happily in the alley, not caring whether there was anyone in front of them, they just ran forward with their heads down.

Every household is preparing for the New Year, and the alleys are filled with the smell of fireworks and the heat of the air. Everyone has a smile on their face and light in their eyes, looking forward to the arrival of the New Year and full of hope for the future.

Jiang Yan couldn't help but curl her lips. People in later generations live under great pressure, are numb, and tired. There is no light in their eyes and no hair on their heads. At the age of thirty, with the body of a sixty-year-old, they feel exhausted as soon as they open their eyes.

She didn't know how long it had been since she had seen someone so full of energy.

All in all, everything is beautiful.

Si Lu looked at Jiang Yan's expression and couldn't help but ask, "So happy?"

"Yeah." Because it's lively and real.

The two walked deeper into the alley and stopped in front of an inconspicuous house.

Si Lu reached out and knocked on the door. He knocked four or five times, but there was no sound from inside.

"Not at home?"

"Wait a moment." Si Lu knocked on the door again, a little harder than before, "Lei Zi, it's me, open the door."

This time, there was finally a response. Someone walked towards the door and shouted, "Coming."

The door was opened, and a "sharp guy" appeared in front of Jiang Yan, scaring her.

He was wearing tattered clothes, but his cotton jacket was shiny and greasy. It seemed that he hadn't washed it in a long time, and the cotton wool was visible in some places.

His face was dark, as if smeared with something, like the bottom of a pot. His hair was a mess, like a chicken coop, and there were two pieces of what looked like snot on it.

Such a sloppy image looks a bit like the leader of the Beggars' Sect. No wonder Jiang Yan was frightened. I'm afraid any normal person would have the same reaction if they saw him.

Si Lu also frowned, "How many days have you not cleaned up? How did it become like this?"

Lei Zi chuckled, "Why are you here? And you brought your friends with you?"

"Go in and talk."

"Oh, oh, you come in first." Lei Zi opened the door and let them enter the yard, then closed the door tightly again.

The yard was very clean, which formed a sharp contrast with Lei Zi's personal image.

"Come on, come on, please come inside. Please sit for a while. I'll go clean up."

After Lei Zi finished speaking, he went straight to the next room. After a while, the sound of water splashing came from there. I guess he went to wash up.

"What's going on with this guy?"

"I'm not sure." Si Lu said, "He has a lot of connections and can get anything, but his temper is a bit..."

Si Lu couldn't find a suitable adjective for a moment.

You say he is unreliable, right? But whenever you ask him to do something, he always gets it done.

You say he is reliable, but he is often not at home and cannot be contacted, so no one knows when he will come back.

They are lucky to be able to stay at home today.

The two waited for more than twenty minutes before Lei Zi came back.

He took a shower, cleaned himself up, changed his clothes, and looked a lot cleaner, except that his hair was a little long.

"Captain Si, what's the matter with you visiting me today?"

When Lei Zi met Si Lu, Si Lu was still the captain of the Dark Owl, so he habitually called Si Lu "Captain Si".

"I want to buy some Chinese medicine, do you have any connections?"

"Is it possible to buy Chinese medicine outside? Is it necessary for Captain Si to come all the way to my place? What? Did they smash all the medicine shops? That's impossible, right?"

There was a hint of wariness in his eyes, and it was obvious that he was not very reassured.

Lei Zi's family experienced great changes, and he was framed several times and almost lost his life. If he had not been vigilant, he would have died eight hundred times already.

"It's not that you can't buy it outside, but the quality of some medicines is not good. This is for my grandfather, so I need good medicine."

When he heard that the medicine was for Si Qianjin, Lei Zi's vigilance was obviously reduced a lot. He was also a loyal man, and the people he admired most in his life were the older generation of protesters.

"Let me see the prescription."

Where is the prescription?

Si Lu turned his head and looked at Jiang Yan, but he didn't expect that she actually took out two pieces of paper from her pocket and handed them to him.

Lei Zi took it and took a look. Most of them were herbs for removing phlegm and blood stasis, as well as for nourishing qi and blood.

Although he couldn't diagnose or treat illnesses, he was born into a medical family after all, so he knew at a glance that this medicine was for elderly people with poor heart and lung health.

"Your grandfather has a bad heart?"

Si Lu nodded, "Okay, I have learned the skills passed down in my family."

"What kind of ability do I have? It's bullshit." Lei Zi held the two pieces of paper, "Do you want it now?"

"Yes, I plan to take care of the old man during the New Year."

Lei Zi suddenly showed a sarcastic smile on his face, "Does anyone still believe this now? Don't they all say it's dregs? Don't they say it's a feudal remnant?"

"You just accepted it when they asked you to?" Jiang Yan shook her head. "I won't. Not only will I not accept it, I will also let them see the beauty and heritage of Chinese medicine and let everyone know that there is a reason why Chinese medicine has been passed down for thousands of years."

Lei Zi sneered, "You little yellow-haired girl..." He stood up and walked out, standing at the door and said, "Wait for me for a moment, I'll bring the medicine back later."

After saying that, he pushed the door and left without looking back.

"He just left like that?" Wasn't he afraid that they would rob his house?

"This person is not a bad person, he just has a strange temper. Let's wait for a while."

Jiang Yan nodded and looked at the furnishings in Lei Zi's house with boredom.

The furnishings in the room were very simple, without even a decent piece of furniture. In the corner there was a low table, two small stools, and a thermos.

Jiang Yan looked up at the roof out of boredom. Suddenly, her ability of perspective was activated without warning, and the things hidden on the beam suddenly came into Jiang Yan's eyes, which scared her!

【Big wheels!!!】

The big wheel played dead and didn't respond at all.

Si Lu was very perceptive and noticed her abnormality immediately. "What's wrong?"

"It's okay. There seemed to be a centipede on the roof. It was quite big. It flashed past and disappeared."

The roofs are made of wood and straw. Those who can afford it paste the roofs, while those who don't leave them exposed. It's not surprising to see centipedes and other insects.

"It's inevitable that there will be those things in this old house. Let's tell him when he comes back and give him some medicine."

Jiang Yan nodded, "Well, actually, it doesn't cost much to put up a roof."

Her heart was beating so fast that she felt like it was going to jump out of her body in the next second.
