Shuijing Shenzun followed his gaze and looked down, and then did not refuse, took off the jade pendant and handed it over.

The eldest son of the emperor slowly stretched out his hand from under the blanket, and saw that his arms and palms were glowing black, his fingers were curled up like a bird's claw, his skin was wrinkled, and his joints were very twisted.If people who don't know this read it, they will definitely regard him as some kind of monster.

He held the jade pendant lightly, and took a closer look. Zhong Zangchan and the others stared at him, waiting for him to come to a conclusion, but he didn't expect that the eldest son of the emperor just "looked at it" and quickly stretched out his hand Handed the jade pendant back.

"What can you see?" Shui Jing Shenzun took the jade pendant and asked with a casual smile.

The eldest son of the emperor shook his head slowly, as to whether he didn't see it or didn't want to say it, he didn't know.

Shui Jing Shenzun didn't seem to care much, tied the jade pendant back to his waist, turned to Zhong Zangchan and said: "Tomorrow we will set off for Baihe, and your brother and sister will stay and take care of him. I have listed the medicinal materials needed , the prescription is on the desk, be careful when you buy it, and don't confuse it."

Zhong Zangchan was still reminiscing about the legend of the Five Gods, and suddenly he was slightly taken aback by what the Shuijing God said, and then nodded and said, "Okay, I understand, I will pay attention."

Although the eldest son of the emperor is no longer bound by the earthen jar, he has been fed with medicines for many years after all, and it is still difficult to completely get rid of those herbs for a while, so he can only reduce the dosage little by little, and gradually replace them with whole grains that normal people eat .

But even so, it might be impossible for him to completely recover like an ordinary person.

Zhong Zangchan didn't know the significance of Shuijing Shenzun and others saving the eldest son of the emperor. At least so far, she didn't find that the eldest son of the emperor was of any help to their plans, and even seemed to add a burden .

It is natural for her not to say these words, not to mention in front of the eldest son of the emperor, even behind her back she does not have the habit of gossiping, since the Shui Jing god has given her orders, she will follow her words.

After a few days.

At this time, Shuijing Shenzun and others had left for Baihe, while Zhong Zangchan was obsessed with the prescription and appeared in the medicine shop of this small town.

This pharmacy is not very big, and there are very few people who buy medicines. There is no doctor sitting in the store, only one clerk stands at the counter, and he quickly grabs the medicine for the person next to him. Xiang Zhong Zangchan: "Girl, it's really not that I won't sell it to you. You can go to other places to inquire about it. This thing is really out of stock now. If I have it, can I hide it from you? I can't keep it. baby?"

Zhong Zangchan held the prescription, her brows were also wrinkled, but she still did not give up and said, "Is your shopkeeper there? Can you ask him?"

The guy seemed to have lost his temper, so he nodded helplessly and said, "Okay, girl, wait here, I'll call our shopkeeper."

"Thank you." Zhong Zangchan thanked.

Seeing the guy lift the curtain of the corner door and go to the backyard, Zhong Zangchan sighed slightly, looked down at the prescription in his hand again.

There are numerous names of medicines listed on this prescription, and one of them is called dragon's blood jerky, and this is exactly what the buddy said just now is out of stock.

Before leaving, Shenzun specifically explained that there should be no mistakes in these medicines. In recent days, she has been very careful and double-checked every time she buys medicines, but now they are out of stock, and she feels extremely helpless.

After a while, the guy opened the curtain and came back, and a middle-aged man who looked about 50 or [-] years old and a little fat followed out. When he saw Zhong Zangchan, he said, "This girl is looking for me?"

Before Zhong Zangchan could answer, the man had already walked in front of her, and thoughtfully said: "Oh, I remember girl, you have been here many times."

The waiter at the side echoed: "Isn't that right? If it weren't for the fact that this girl is a regular customer, I would have sent her away just now when I found out that it was out of stock. It seems that she really needs this item urgently. I can't explain it, so I have to ask you to come here." gone."

The shopkeeper nodded, stretched out his hand and said, "Miss, show me the prescription first."

Zhong Zangchan hurriedly handed over the prescription, and the shopkeeper glanced at it quickly after receiving it, then frowned and said, "Miss, this prescription... is for living people?"

Zhong Zangchan was taken aback, what is this question called?Is it possible that I still buy medicine for the dead?

Seeing Zhong Zangchan's surprised face, the shopkeeper seemed to realize that his question was a bit abrupt, and said with a sneer: "Girl, please don't get me wrong, I didn't mean that, it's just that this prescription is a bit unusual, not to mention expensive. There are also a few flavors that are rarely used to treat diseases, which is very strange. I wonder if the girl can tell me who is sick in the family, what kind of disease they are, and who prescribed this medicine?"

Zhong Zangchan was at a loss for words for a moment, how could others know that this was not a cure for the disease, and she couldn't tell the truth.

Firstly, the situation of the eldest son of the emperor is special, so it is difficult to explain the reason to others, and secondly, they are now in the territory of Daluan, if this sensational disease spreads, it is difficult to guarantee that it will not arouse suspicion.

Fortunately, Zhong Zangchan is not a person who is at a loss when encountering some accidents. Since it is inconvenient to say it, he can find an excuse to prevaricate it, so he said: "I really don't know, I am just a girl in the house. I was responsible for the purchase, the master only told me to buy the medicine according to the medicine list, how could he explain so much to me?"

"I see," the shopkeeper nodded and said, "The girl probably doesn't know the effect of this dragon's blood either?"

Zhong Zangchan shook her head, she only knew that the medicine list was drawn up by the gods based on the medicines used by the emperor's eldest son in previous years, and she also knew that most of these medicines were expensive, but she was very vague about the effect of each medicine.

The shopkeeper had expected her reaction, and explained patiently at this time: "This dragon's blood jerky is similar to ordinary blood jerky, and has the effect of promoting blood circulation and removing blood stasis, but few people have used it as a medicine for promoting blood circulation these years. .”

Zhong Zangchan was puzzled: "Why?"

The shopkeeper said: "This medicine is produced in Qinan. In the past, we used to buy it from the merchants of the Qi State. However, in the past few years, there have been constant wars in the Qi State. It is still difficult for the Qi merchants to protect themselves. How can anyone risk their lives to do it?" This business?"

He paused, then continued: "Besides, if it is necessary to promote blood circulation and remove blood stasis, many medicines can be effective, and those medicines are more common, and the price is naturally low. Why do we have to use this expensive dragon's blood? The inventory in the store is not too small, if the girl hadn't bought it out during this time, I'm afraid it won't be a problem to sell it for a few more years."

Zhong Zangchan wondered: "You said that the effect of this medicine can be replaced by other medicines, and other medicines are cheaper than it. Does it mean that no one will buy it? Then why do you still buy it?"

The shopkeeper smiled helplessly: "That's why I asked the girl if she knew what disease this prescription was used to cure! If the dragon's blood is only used to promote blood circulation and remove blood stasis, I can naturally replace it with other medicines. It will save you a lot of money, but if your master's purpose is not to promote blood circulation, but another effect of this dragon's blood, then there is really no medicine to replace it."

"Another effect?" Zhong Zangchan hurriedly asked, "What is it?"

"Buried with you," said the shopkeeper.

Zhong Zangchan suspected that he didn't hear clearly, and was buried with him?To be buried with drugs?Is this a custom?

The shopkeeper was not surprised by her fussy reaction, and explained: "It may not be accurate to say that it is buried with the corpse. To be precise, it should be a corpse protector. This dragon's blood has a strong anti-corruption effect, and it is embedded in the corpse. Among them, it can be guaranteed that it will not rot for many years.”

This anti-corruption effect is not difficult to understand, just like some herbs can dispel dampness, and some can dispel cold, the reason is the same.

But for Zhong Zangchan, what is difficult to understand is not the effect of the medicine, but the act of protecting the corpse. She said: "Since the corpse has been buried in the tomb, what difference does it make if it is not rotten? Even if it is not rotten, people will Already dead, can you still lie down and come back to life?"

The shopkeeper didn't care about her attitude, obviously he himself didn't admire this custom, so he smiled and explained patiently: "Although a person is dead, the thoughts of relatives and friends will not fade away easily. Go. Although the body cannot be brought back to life, it is a kind of comfort to the relatives of the deceased to preserve it well. The girl is still young, and she must not have experienced the pain of life and death. It is normal to not understand this practice."

Zhong Zangchan secretly smiled wryly, the pain of parting from life and death?Why haven't you experienced it yourself?It's just that I feel helpless when I know that there is no way to recover from it.

The shopkeeper saw that she was dumbfounded and didn't know what she was thinking, so he handed the prescription back to her hand and said: "I don't think the girl really doesn't know what your master wants this thing for, you should go back and find out. If you just use it For promoting blood circulation and removing blood stasis, there are many medicines available in my shop, and it is not difficult to find a substitute. But if it is really for that other effect, I am sorry that I cannot help you."

Zhong Zangchan had no choice but to hold the prescription and nodded silently.

Seeing that the two seemed to have finished chatting, the waiter at the side turned around and hurried back to the counter, carefully weighed the other medicines in Zhong Zangchan's prescription except dragon's blood, wrapped them up, and handed them to her.

Zhong Zangchan didn't say any more, and after paying the silver taels, he took the medicine package and turned around to leave the pharmacy.

Walking all the way to the small courtyard where they lived temporarily, Zhong Zangchan was still remembering the life and death that the shopkeeper said just now.

The country was destroyed and the family was destroyed. Zhong Ling's destruction seemed to cut off her roots, leaving her with nowhere to go.The word "go home" that is so common to ordinary people has since become an empty phrase that is out of reach for her forever.

In the months since she met the gods, she has been avoiding the fact that Zhong Ling has perished, followed them to escape from Daluanjing, and then went to the country of Qi to save the prince. Zhong Zangchan tried not to think deeply about Zhong Ling.

Those memories about the father, queen, and queen are like water in a bucket that is full to the point of overflowing, and it will splash all over the ground at the slightest touch. Only by forcing yourself to stay away and escape in various ways can you not hurt yourself Affection.

"Yeah, I don't have a home anymore."

Zhong Zangchan muttered to himself with a wry smile, but found that there was a drizzle in the sky at this time, as if it was just for the occasion, and it seemed that it was getting bigger and bigger.

She looked up at the sky, and the fine rain hit the ends of her hair and slipped into her eyes.She reached out and wiped her face, took a deep breath, hugged the medicine bag into her arms, lowered her head and quickened her pace.

Just walking quickly with her head down, unexpectedly when she turned a street corner ahead, she bumped into someone's arms suddenly.
