After Yan Shouyi and Lin Zitong returned to the room, they did not rest immediately. Instead, they whispered a lot under the quilt together.
Their topics mainly revolved around what they saw and heard throughout the day.
The two chatted until late at night before reluctantly embracing each other and falling asleep.
Early the next morning, Lin Zitong got up and went back to Licheng to visit her father, Lin Ruofu, while Yan Shouyi went to Lao Jin's Rejuvenation Hall.
He will be leaving Rongcheng for a while soon, and Yan Shouyi came to say goodbye to everyone today.
Arriving at Huichun Hall, Yan Shouyi saw Lao Jin's busy figure.
This guy actually got up early in the morning to teach his female disciple Guo Guo about Chinese medicine.
It's just that it's not that simple to identify Chinese medicines. These herbs are all kinds of weird and there are too many that look the same. It's not easy to just figure out the differences between them, not to mention that many Chinese herbal medicines need to go through various processes.
, can it truly become a medicinal material for patients to take.
Even though Guo Guo was extremely talented, she was overwhelmed by the dozens of almost identical medicinal materials placed on the table.
"Master, these medicinal materials all look the same. Is it really necessary to divide them so finely?" Guoguo complained.
Lao Jin looked serious and even glared at his lovely and beautiful female apprentice:
"You will become an ancient doctor in the future. Even Western medicine should understand that any medicine has its vital role. Special attention must be paid to the year and dosage. A little carelessness may endanger the patient.
Life. I know that this knowledge is difficult to remember, but what is simple in this world? Since you have chosen this path, you have to go on even if you cry!"
I didn't expect that Lao Jin would be so serious when he was teaching his disciples, which was completely different from his usual greasy and wretched appearance.
This made Yan Shou and Lao Jin look at each other with admiration.
Unexpectedly, the next second, Lao Jin said to Guoguo: "Guoguo, my teacher's money is a little tight recently, how about you lend me two hundred yuan first to meet the emergency?"
Standing outside the medicine shop, Yan Shou was shocked. How could a master borrow money from his apprentice?
"Ahem!"
Yan Shou coughed twice, which attracted Lao Jin's attention. Lao Jin turned around and saw Yan Shou coming, so he quickly pretended not to say anything, waved his hand and asked Guo Guo to continue studying the medicinal materials, and left happily.
come out.
"What kind of wind brought the groom here?" Lao Jin said with a smile, "You were in a hurry to get married that day, and I didn't have any preparations. Now the gift money is gone. Why don't you take a look in my shop and take whatever you like?
Walk!"
Yan Shou glared: "Lao Jin, aren't you? All the money you make comes from me, right?"
"To make money, don't worry!"
"Then you have to have some professional ethics. Take a look at the medicines in your store. There are hairs growing in the medicine jars. I guess cockroaches and mice slept in them yesterday." Yan Shouyi said with disdain.
If he hadn't known Lao Jin's background, he would have been a quack doctor.
Lao Jin didn't take it seriously: "We ancient doctors have traveled all over the world and relied on our true skills. Do you think I really opened this shabby medicine shop? This medicine shop is just a cover. Do you understand that it is hidden in the city?"
Yan Shou took a look outside. This time, the cement road outside the Hui Chun Hall was not even paved. When the wind blew, yellow sand flew all over the sky.
What a great hideaway in the city!
However, Yan Shouyi did not come here today to cause trouble with Lao Jin. He said:
"Are Luo Ning and A Gong here, and Zhu Shan Zao? I will leave Rongcheng for a while tomorrow, and I will say goodbye to them before leaving."
"You want to leave? Where are you going?" Lao Jin asked doubtfully.
"It's not a big deal. My dad has been released from prison. I happened to accompany him back to his hometown to visit, put incense sticks on grandpa's grave, and take Zitong out for a walk."
"Oh, what do I mean?" Lao Jin said with a smile, "Luo Ning, A Gong and the others are not as healthy as you. They haven't recovered from the last battle at the Ping An Building. I guess they want to follow you."
No! As for the Zhushan stove, he has already returned to Guling. The Liu family has built a temple for it, and it is anxious to go back to smoke incense."
The Liu family also kept their promise. In the future, Zhu Shanzao would change his ways and become the patron saint of the Liu family.
Accompanied by Lao Jin, Yan Shouyi went to the hut to visit Luo Ning and A Gong.
Luo Ning can already get out of bed and move around, but the plaster on A Gong's body has not been removed.
Luo Ning was even a little moved when she heard that Yan Shouyi was leaving, but thinking that Lin Zitong would also be accompanying him, it was obviously inappropriate for her to follow him.
After all, Yan Shouyi and Lin Zitong are an upright couple. If he seduces Yan Shouyi again, his reputation will not be good.
"Do you have any idea about the fateful calamity?" Luo Ning asked.
Yan Shou nodded: "We have a little bit, but we still need to slowly decipher the secrets. When we come back from this trip, the three of us will meet again and solve the matter of fate."
Luo Ning and A Gong are also people who practice short methods, and they are also plagued by fate.
Their fate is the same as Yan Shouyi's, so they are also very eager to solve the fate.
And hope now rests on Yan Shouyi.
But the result will only come after Yan Shouyi comes back.
Before leaving, Ah Gong gave Yan Shou one or three small paper figures.
The paper figures are only about the size of a palm. It would be more accurate to say they are paper figures. The three of them are made lifelike and their eyes seem to move.
A Gong introduced: "These three paper figures have evil ghosts sealed in their bodies. If you encounter trouble, you can ask the paper figures to come out to help. However, they can only be used three times each. After the times are used, the ghosts' souls will also dissipate."
.”
Taking the gift from his friend, Yan Shouyi was very moved and solemnly said thank you to Ah Gong, then turned to look at Luo Ning.
Luo Ning glared at Yan Shouyi: "What are you looking at? My ability is different from A Gong's. He gave you a paper delivery. Could it be that I give you a corpse? I am willing to give it to you. Do you dare to ask for it?"
"
Yan Shouyi: "..."
It seems that it is really inconvenient to take a corpse on the road. I am afraid that I will be arrested by the police before I leave Rongcheng.
Then Yan Shouyi focused on Lao Jin again.
Lao Jin couldn’t laugh or cry:
"Joseph, you're not here to say goodbye, you're here to ask for a gift! I do have a lot of elixirs, but those elixirs are only effective when they are freshly baked, and they will become useless if they are kept for too long."
Some elixirs are not so precious because of their raw materials, but because they are difficult to preserve.
Refined elixirs are easily corroded by turbid air and lose their efficacy.
Therefore, in ancient times, elixirs were held on silk, placed in sandalwood brocade boxes, and kept sealed.
But even so, the medicinal properties will decline rapidly.
Yan Shouyi seemed to have thought of something and took out a small gourd with a red belt from his bag.
"This is the Dongwang gourd. I snatched it from Bai Shixi. It is said that this small gourd can hold hundreds of elixirs, and the elixirs placed in this gourd will not rot or spoil, and the efficacy will never fade away!
"
Lao Jin was stunned after hearing this:
"You brought out such a treasure just because you wanted to steal some elixirs from me and take them away???"
