[Bottle Evil Colleague] Ink Dawn

We drove forward for a while, and after struggling side by side with the rice dumplings, we finally found the iceberg that had walked a long way by ourselves.

He was leaning in front of the wooden door of a shop, and the eagle flapped its wings impatiently on his shoulder. It seemed that he had been waiting for us for a while.

Seeing us coming, he nodded slightly in this direction, turned around, and went straight into the store.I went to look at the plaque hanging on the main entrance of the store, and the words on it still couldn't help me. They were three big characters - "National Pharmacy".

Although the name of the country is crowned, the facilities in this store are a bit rudimentary.Facing the hustle and bustle of the street outside is a rectangular stone platform, which is not high and can be turned over with just a jump.There is only one "buddy" in the whole store. When he saw us coming in, he greeted us warmly. He said something in Hakka. I don't know much about Hakka, so I don't understand it well, but I think it's a kind word like welcome introduction. .

Just like what I have seen in some literature and even film and television materials, the inside of the counter behind the clerk against the wall is a "hundred-eye cabinet" full of Chinese herbal decoction pieces.The difference is that the cabinets that cover the entire wall are not made of wood, but materials like marble.I suddenly understood why the previous rouge boxes and candied haws were made of such materials. There is a lack of sunshine, which is most feared by rice dumplings. It can be said that there is no grass, so the most scarce resources in this city are definitely things like trees and vegetation. Zongzi does not need to eat fruit crops, and it will not exist.

Of course, zongzi will not get sick, but there are hundreds of medicinal materials stored in this shop, and the name of the medicinal materials stored in it is written on each drawer, which is very convenient to take.It is said that the style of this hundred-eye cabinet was developed from the big bib used by Sun Simiao, the king of medicine in Tang Dynasty, to collect medicine.Sun Simiao often went to the mountains to collect herbs, and some herbs were fragmented and difficult to store, so he specially made a big bib with many small cloth bags sewn on it, and put each medicine he picked into a medicine bag.Although there are many herbs, they are complicated and not chaotic. When encountering an emergency patient, the appropriate medicine can be quickly taken out to treat the patient.The pharmacy of later generations imitated this and made a hundred-eye cabinet composed of many small drawers.I just don't know why this ghost town, which has a thousand-year history at first glance, keeps pace with the times.

Bingshan seems to be the same as me. He also dabbled in the words on the labels of the drawers. After pondering for a while, he clasped his fingers and knocked on the counter.The "man" in the store reacted quickly, immediately took out a small scale, pulled out the drawer, took out some items, put them on the tray and handed them to Bingberg.

My fat man and Tiaozi were very curious, and they craned their necks secretly to look at it, and found that the "herb" medicine really lived up to its name, it looked like grass, ordinary, with white branches and leaves, if I hadn't seen it in the drugstore, I would have known it. I would definitely think that it was the weeds growing on the side of the road, which were dried and used to make up the number.From the perspective of time, Baima laid the foundation of Bingshan's medical skills, and he must study on his own in the later stage, perhaps for remembrance, or even other things.But a smart person can learn everything quickly, and his medical skills are reliable no matter how you look at it.

Bingshan picked up a few stalks of white grass, put it to the tip of his nose and smelled it, and then he opened his mouth to bite a piece, chewed it several times, and finally swallowed it alive.At this time, I was sensitively aware that Poker-Face raised his right hand, as if to stop him, but before he had time, he put it down without a trace.I glanced at him thoughtfully, but I couldn't see anything unusual.

Bingshan waited quietly for a while, probably because he felt that he had no adverse reaction, so he relieved himself and handed all the herbs in his hand to Poker Bottle standing behind him, and said lightly: "Eat it. It's good for you."

For a moment, Poker-Face was stunned for a moment, then reached out to take the thing in his hand.

I can probably understand his feelings. For him, the previous family was a cold iron chain that he clings to for survival, but this time, it may be the first time he has come into contact with the care given to him by blood relatives. Although this act of caring seems a bit blunt, after all, this may be the first time that Bingshan cares about his close relatives like this.Thinking about it this way, although it hurts, I am really happy for him.

I was secretly happy for Poker Ping, but unexpectedly Poker Ping handed me the handful of herbs without saying a word, but it was obvious that he wanted to let me eat the good stuff.Bingshan's eyes swept over me immediately, and before I could push back, I felt a chill all over my body.

I secretly thought it was bad, Poker-Face was obviously trying to highlight my position in his mind in front of Bingshan, in other words, implying that he was protecting me, but the timing was really not good.With his temperament, he wouldn't care so much, but I don't think the emperor is in a hurry for the eunuchs, so I still have some concerns for him.

Fortunately, Bingshan didn't have any big reaction, he seemed to sigh slightly, and said: "It's useless for him to eat this."

There was more or less helplessness in his tone, and he asked the "man" to rummage for a while, and took something from another small drawer and handed it over.

I knew it was a symptomatic medicinal material, so I quickly took it and took a look, and found that it looked like a traditional Chinese medicine made of platycodon grandiflorum, and it was shaped like a chrysanthemum. , listlessly.

I held the dried flower for a while, and finally I could only ask weakly: "This medicine...soak...soak it in water and drink it?"

Bingshan glanced at me and said coldly:

"Crush it and put it under the tongue to adjust the body's weakness."

I blushed, obediently threw the chrysanthemum into my mouth and chewed it, and Poker Face accompanied me to chew the white grass in his hand.The fat man couldn't hold it back, and laughed out loud, I knew what he was thinking, it was nothing more than "an old cow eats old grass" and other self-entertaining thoughts.

As a result, Bingshan actually noticed Fatty's actions, didn't even look at it, and lifted his finger to the drawer, and it seemed that the medicine in the drawer should be for Fatty's disease.Fatty is not good at ancient characters and can't read the label, but I can understand it. It clearly says "Special Coptis chinensis" in big characters.

I was secretly happy, and didn't tell Fatty, just said:

"Eat something, good food, lose weight and strengthen your yang."

When the fat man heard about the aphrodisiac, he felt that it was really a good thing, so he quickly pulled it into his mouth and gnawed it.Tiaozi and I laughed and watched the fat man of Megatron Capital scolding and looking for the kettle.

Afterwards, we wandered around the city for a long time, and found that the cold light source remained constant. It seemed that there was no difference between day and night. After all, zongzi were different from people, and they didn’t need to sleep.

When the investigation came to an end, everyone was tired from walking.I just wanted to suggest a return trip, but at this moment Pokerfing suddenly expressed an extremely bold idea: tonight, we will stay in the largest inn in the city to rest.
