The Sabbath

"It seems that my guess is correct." Xiaomei said quietly.

His voice sounded the same as usual, but Ronggui was full of embarrassment:

"Don't throw your head away and sit by and talk!"

The moment she was thrown down by Hana's father, Xiaomei tried to resist, but——

The resistance failed, Hana's father was too strong.

He can activate the automatic attack device on his chest, but the force of the ejection device is too great, and it might destroy Hana's father's body at the moment of ejection, so Xiaomei thought for a long time and the result was:

He left his head and neck for Hana's father to continue to bite, he got out of the ground, and then sat on the chair next to Ronggui.

Ronggui: Oh! ! !

Ronggui's embarrassment is terrible, but Hana's side is not much better.

"Father, stop biting! Agui and the others have very hard necks. If your teeth fall out, now...no one can fill your teeth now!"

Ronggui: =-=

In the end, it was Hana who was the weakest in the room who pulled Mr. Hanarens away. Seeing that he still wanted to bite something, Hana directly stuffed him with the bread made by Ronggui.

↑

Wasn't this Ronggui hearing that Mrs. Zora's food was delicious even though it didn't look good? He wanted to learn, and after learning... he made bread that was as hard as a stone and couldn't be chewed at all.

It happened to be eaten by Mr. Hanarens instead of Xiaomei's head.

= - =

Looking at the way the bread he made was put to use in the end, Ronggui's mood was very complicated.

But soon he didn't have time to worry about such trivial matters.

because--

Xiaomei started talking again.

Reattaching her head and neck to her body, Mei began to explain why she wanted a drop of Hana's blood.

"When I passed that alley a few days ago, the situation of Pharmacist Hanarens was obviously different from usual, and you both saw it."

Unlike Ronggui who called Hanarens "Papa Hana", Xiaomei called Hanarens "pharmacist". For him, this is the most correct way to call a person, not because of feelings , not out of various connections, but just for the identity of the other party.

Hana and Ronggui nodded together.

"At that time, Hana said, that store was where Hanarens pharmacists used to go to buy herbal remedies."

Hana continued to nod.

However, Xiaomei stared at her for a moment, but said: "I don't think so, if he buys herbs, he doesn't have to go by himself."

"The only reason why the Hanarens pharmacist can go to another pharmacy in person is to meet another pharmacist."

"So, he went there to meet the owner of that pharmacy—the president of the city's pharmacists' association, Huo Sen Linde."

Ronggui and Hana were stunned again.

This... Even if it is analyzed, is there any necessary connection between this... and the whole thing...?

Both Ronggui and Hana didn't quite understand why Xiaomei suddenly mentioned this matter.

But they didn't ask their questions, because they knew that Xiaomei would continue to explain to them.

"I guess, every time he goes to buy herbs, he should take you with him at least one or two times out of four, right?" Xiaomei turned her head to Hana again, obviously it was a robot, but at this moment, his eyes were abnormal Sharp, Hana shrank slightly the moment she met Xiaomei's eyes.

But with this shrinking, she was closer to Ronggui, so the little girl was not so afraid.

She murmured: "That happened when I was very young, I don't remember very well. I should have been there, but not many times, because I don't like going to his place..."

Xiaomei looked away: "That's the sentence."

"It's true that your brain's memory is not good, but this is also common. The memory development of young children is not perfect. Many people can't remember childhood events. Even if they have memories, they are fragments and cannot form a logical and complete memory."

"However, just because your brain doesn't remember, doesn't mean your body doesn't remember."

"On the contrary, your physical memory is very good. When I asked about Huo Sen, you replied: I don't like Uncle Huo Sen very much."

"When I was young, every time my father took me to his house, I was not happy. Later, I quarreled with my father a few times, so I didn't have to go."

Xiaomei completely recounted what Hana said that day, just a retelling, and stated what Hana said in Xiaomei's tone. For some reason, it felt a little funny.

But Ronggui couldn't laugh, Xiaomei's expression was too calm and formal, he always felt that Xiaomei was about to say something terrible.

"The memory of the human body is often more reliable than the memory of the brain."

"There are many reasons to hate, but there will be no unreasonable dislike. Even if a person says that he hates a certain person the first time he sees it, it is not unreasonable."

"It takes a lot of emotional accumulation to hate this kind of feeling."

"For example, someone said that he hated eating cucumbers. He hated eating cucumbers since he was a child, and he still hates eating as an adult."

"Some researchers have investigated the case of this person, and finally found that this person was allergic to cucumbers at a certain stage when he was a baby. The person at this stage will have mild symptoms when eating cucumbers. allergic reaction."

Xiaomei said, pointing to her lips: "It was a very slight reaction, just numbness of the lips. Since there were no other adverse reactions, his family did not find that he was allergic, so let him continue to eat cucumbers until he Use crying to refuse."

"His body remembered the unpleasant fact that eating cucumbers would make his lips tingle, and he had an aversion to cucumbers, so until he became an adult, his physique was strong enough to eat cucumbers without any adverse reactions, but he still hated cucumbers, He didn't understand the reason himself, until scientists helped him find the reason."

"And Hosen Lind is Hana's cucumber."

"Huh?" Rong Gui was taken aback by this metaphor.

Hana's mouth opened, as if she was about to think of some terrible memory, her body began to tremble slightly again.

"When I went to the library today, Ronggui also read a book called "Bolt Pharmacist's Diary". The story of a pharmacist who prescribes medicine for a pharmacist."

"Although it is a children's book, the various prescriptions in it are very sophisticated and there are no mistakes, so the source of the whole book should be the same. It is the original intention of this book to instill correct common sense in preschool children from an early age."

"If this book is completely consistent with the real social situation, then Hosen Lind is the current Bolt pharmacist in Sisiro City. He is the pharmacist in the city who can prescribe medicines for pharmacists."

"In this case, the pharmacist Hanarens has another reason to go to him. He may have gone to Hosen Lind for medicine."

"There are three members of the Hanarens pharmacist's family, and he may ask for medicine for any of these three people."

"Then, Hana, you mentioned that you hate Apothecary Horsen."

"There is one more known condition."

Xiaomei's blue eyes once again aimed at Hana's face.

"Regarding the disgust of human beings, didn't you mention an example just now?"

"A guy who said he hated someone the first time he saw him, but he swears he never met him."

"Later, research scholars checked all his files, and finally found that he was not telling the truth."

"He met that person when he was a baby."

"That man is his attending physician."

"Children hate doctors who treat them very much, because many doctors will give them needles and take bitter medicine, so many children hate doctors."

"So, Hana, think about it carefully. When you were very young, were you taken by Pharmacist Hanarens to see a doctor at Pharmacist Huo Sen?" Xiaomei raised her eyebrows slightly. dropped the chin.

His gaze was fixed on Hana's small face.

And Hannah...

The little girl's eyes were clouded, until she suddenly remembered something, her little body trembled, and her little face turned pale instantly.

"Okay, it seems so, Mr. Huo Sen gave me an injection!"

"I... I don't remember very clearly, but I suddenly remembered a scene just now. Dad grabbed my next door and asked Uncle Huo Sen to give me an injection!"

This is it--

Xiaomei's lips were tightly pressed together, she didn't speak, his expression was very calm, but Ronggui felt that he saw fire in his eyes!

The faint blue fire!

"It seems... It seems that I have had more than one injection... Ah... My health is obviously very good. My father said that my health is the best in the whole family. I don't need to take medicine to see a doctor... Why..."

Why did so many fragmentary memories of taking medicine, injections and infusions suddenly appear in my mind?

The little hands were squeezed tightly into two, Hana thought too hard, unknowingly, sweat soaked her forehead, and the little girl was sweating all over her head.

Until Xiaomei spoke again——

"Your body is really good, that's because your illness is cured."

"The one who cured you was not Hossen Lind, but Apothecary Hanarens."

"If I'm not mistaken—"

"The elixir is not at all like the Pharmacopoeia says, it is made to make Mrs. Hanarens youthful."

"The real reason for this drug should be you."

"Apothecary Hanarens created this medicine for his own daughter!"

After the last sentence was uttered, there was no sound in the room.

Not even the sound of Hana's father gnawing bread.

At some point, he had already put down the bread in his hand, staring blankly at Hana's direction, his stiff blue face looked extremely dull.

"The first thing that caught my attention was the name of the medicine."

"The medicine of elixir and the medicine of immortality, the names of these two medicines have almost no difference in pronunciation, only one letter is different, and people often confuse them."

"Due to the emergence of immortals, most of the recitations of this medicine are directly recited as undead medicines based on the effects of the medicine."

"In addition to Hana, there are also several former shop assistants in your family."

"Besides, the records in the Pharmacopoeia are also medicines of elixir, not elixir of death."

"The pharmacist Hanarens is a practical person. He is not interested in any medicine that does not improve human life. His research focuses on pharmaceutical manufacturers that are beneficial to human beings."

"Having never studied any kind of cosmetic medicine, it is strange that such a pharmacist would research a medicine to maintain youthfulness for his wife."

"However, if the real effect of this drug is to save lives, there is no problem."

"So, I guess that when you were very young, you suffered from a very serious disease, similar to cell division much faster than normal people, and the aging speed is several times faster than normal people."

"Your father immediately noticed your condition. He first went to Hosen Lind for help, but when the other party couldn't help him, he began to research on his own, and finally developed a drug that was just right for your condition. "

"Stop the rapid decline of cells in the body, stop your time, and prevent you from aging rapidly."

"The name of this medicine is the medicine of immortality. Isn't that a very reasonable thing?"

Staring at Xiaomei in a daze, Hana froze.

There were also Ronggui and Mrs. Zhuo La next to him, who were stunned.

Hana stared at Xiaomei for a long time, and then slowly turned her gaze to the father next door.

Mr. Hanarens, who had become a zombie, just stared forward numbly, as if there was nothingness in his eyes.

Until Hana stood up and walked over, her white and tender little hands lightly rested on Mr. Hanarens' black hands, the little girl raised her head and asked softly, "Dad, is that so?"

"Did you invent the elixir just to save me?"

The forbidden drug that subverted the entire city turned out to have such a simple purpose in the first place, he... just wanted to save his daughter's time?

Hana raised her head and looked at her father seriously with clear eyes.

Just when she thought her father would never respond to her again, suddenly——

Two lines of turbid bloody tears suddenly rolled out from the dry eye sockets of the black zombie.

Hana saw her father, who had been dead for a long time, suddenly opened his mouth:

"Ha... Hana..."

That's all he said.

Then, then Hana cried.

Throwing herself into her father's arms, the little girl wept loudly, just like when her father was still alive.

However, this time, Dad's hand did not hug her shoulder gently as usual, coaxing her gently to stop crying.

Stiff and numb being held by his daughter, Hanarens looked like a portrait.

In the end, Hana wiped away her tears and crawled out of Mr. Hanarens' arms.

"I won't cry, Xiaomei, what's going on? Tell me."

She wiped her eyes with the back of her hand. Before the tears were dry, the little girl wiped away the remaining tears with the corner of her father's clothes.

Except for the red nose and eyes, she couldn't tell that she had just cried a lot.

Washed by tears, her eyes looked bright.

Xiaomei glanced at her face, and then continued to speak in a calm tone:

"The pharmacist of Hanarens invented the elixir for you, and after taking the medicine, your condition has been controlled, and you can even say it's okay. Obviously, this matter cannot be hidden from Huo Sen Linde, as the chairman of the city's pharmacists association. Long, he immediately realized the preciousness of this drug."

"He then reported the drug to the Pharmacists' Association until the name of the Hanarens pharmacist was registered in the Pharmacopoeia."

"This is not plundering. It can be seen from the fact that he is still reporting under the name of Pharmacist Hanarens."

"He probably just wants to add a drug to the Pharmacopoeia that is enough to make Sisiro City shine again."

"Before the Hanarens Pharmacist's elixir entered the Pharmacopoeia, the creation time of the last prescription was 100 years."

"It's been too long. A city that relies on medicines for its foundation, if there is no new revolutionary medicine for such a long period of time, it will be forgotten."

"Then, just as he imagined, after the elixir came out, Sisiro City once again flooded with a large number of guests, and the whole city prospered again, until—"

"The No.1 dead person appears."

"The elixir of youth was not originally invented as a medicine for people to embrace youth. Its ingredients can certainly maintain a vigorous level of human cell division, but this vigorous level continues even after the person who takes the medicine dies. This is The beginning of a nightmare."

Xiaomei's eyes fell on Hana's face again:

"The elixir of youth was invented for you by the pharmacist of Hanarens. If you also take this medicine, you behave completely differently from other people. You are still growing, which proves that the medicine has played its best role in your body. It defeated the rapidly aging cells in your body, did not stop your time, and you continued to grow slowly. So—"

"The antidote to the elixir is obviously on you, or—"

"You are the antidote to the medicine of immortality."

Ronggui was stunned.

He looked at Xiaomei first: Xiaomei's expression was as calm as ever, just looking at Hana quietly.

Then, Ronggui followed Xiaomei's line of sight to look in Hana's direction.

He originally thought that Hana would be shocked too, and he was a little worried at first, worried that Hana would overreact after knowing this, who knows——

With a big smile on her mouth, Hana actually smiled:

"So it is!"

"No wonder, after all—"

"The elixir was invented by my father for me!"

"It turns out that the elixir was invented by my father for me!!!"

The big eyes looked at her father tenderly, and the smile on the corner of Hana's mouth couldn't go away.
