Chapter Four

At around the beginning of Mao, a faint light gradually emerged from the sky, and the drizzle that had fallen all night finally stopped.

The men in black who had been hiding in the hut for a night of rain also carried Shu Yan's herbs and jars in an orderly manner, and then awakened Shu Yan who had accidentally fallen asleep against the wooden table.

"We're going to set off now? How's the old man?" Shu Ying rubbed his eyes and looked out the ruined door.

"My uncle slept well last night, but he only coughed occasionally, much better than before. Doctor Shu, we have to leave before the villagers get up!" The man in black nodded, and said to Shu Ying while listening to the old man's movements.

Shu Yan nodded and stood up quickly.

She originally wanted to stay in Houji Village for a few more days, but now that Aunt Liu knew that she knew medical skills and knew that she had received a large medical fee, how could she still stay here! If she had to break up in the middle of the night, she would basically not have to live anymore!

In Houji Village, there are many people who are forced to repent because of their poverty!

If Old Man Li had not saved Shu Yan back, he was the oldest elder in Houji Village and had a little bit of power in the village, Shu Yan would probably have had these two months of peaceful life after Old Man Li died.

Aunt Liu's third family is the first person to have the will to attack her, and there will be a second and third one soon! The longer she stays in Houji Village, the harder her life will be! It is impossible to use medical skills to shock the villagers!

Shu Ying believes that as soon as the news spreads, there are probably no one in Houji Village who respects her, and more people will come to rob her! In such a poor place, her medical skills do not represent a lucky chance to save her, but a roll of money.

Shu Yan patted his face with the rain from the clay tank in the yard of the thatched hut. After feeling that he woke up in an instant, he walked to the man in black and others and looked at Aunt Liu, who was still lying on the ground and asked, "What should she do?"

"Of course I can go back by myself at dawn." The man in black said coldly, without a look of sympathy at all, and seemed to be extremely disgusted with Aunt Liu's character.

Shu Ying nodded silently, followed the group of men in black out of the yard, walked out of Houji Village in the hazy skylight, and finally disappeared into the water vapor that had not yet dissipated...

When Aunt Liu's third family woke up, it was already bright.

After turning over and scanning the hut, I found nothing, Aunt Liu's third son suddenly started screaming, rushed back to his home in a flash, and started crying in an instant.

In less than half a day, all the villagers in Houji Village and Qianji Village knew that the little girl Li in Houji Village rescued from Dushan was actually a vicious woman. She ran away with the money she had saved for decades with Old Man Li.

The third aunt of the Liu family accidentally broke this incident and was knocked unconscious by Shu Yan and almost silenced...

A few days later, five expensive-dressed travelers stayed in Qianji Village for a night. While chatting with the village, they inadvertently inquire about the latest happenings in the village and the situation of some strangers who have only been here for a few years. However, after hearing these bad news about Shu Yan, the five of them frowned contempt and skipped her...

It takes about a dozen miles of mountain road to see the outline of Mingzhen.

At the end of Si, the sun is gradually growing.

There are much fewer people queuing up to enter Ming Town.

Along the way, Shu Ying was always concerned about the old man's condition. Seeing that he had been holding the pills, he coughed a few times for about a moment, and finally felt relieved.

The old man did not tell Shu Ying the real name, but just asked her to call Qing Lao. The man in black who blocked her wooden stick was Qing Lao's nephew. He asked Shu Ying to call him Lu Wu Ge. As for the others, he didn't say much along the way, nor did he mean to talk to Shu Ying.

Mingzhen is not too strict with the people entering and leaving. However, after seeing the faint smell of Jianghu people on Lao Lao and his group, they specially asked them to hand over the road. After checking correctly, they were allowed to enter the city gate.

After passing through three city gates in a row, Shu Ying finally breathed a sigh of relief.

"Where is Doctor Shu going next?" Old Qing's spirit was much better at this moment, as if he was grateful to Shu Yan's pills, and he always spoke politely to her.

"Where do my herbs usually sell in Chengde Pharmacy in Qianjie?" Shu Ying smiled at Old Qing, but he felt a little nervous.

She has been to Mingzhen several times, but there are no ones she knows except the pharmacy shop. The ointment balls in her jars will probably not be solved for a while! At that time, can't she really let her wander around Mingzhen with a few jars on her back?

"Then let's take Dr. Shu to the pharmacy before leaving!" Old Qing gave Lu Wu a gentle expression, and then signaled Shu to guide the way. The group walked along the Nanmen Street of Ming Town towards the town.

Chengde Pharmaceutical Store is located on the Nanshi Street, southeast of Ming Town. Because several well-known witch doctors buy herbs here, Chengde Pharmaceutical Store's business in Ming Town is very prosperous, and its stores have also expanded and occupied almost half a street.

Chengde Medicine has two doors, the main door welcomes guests and the small door receives medicine.

Shu Ying and Lao Qing and his group stopped outside the small door and bowed to everyone gratefully: "Thank you, brothers."

"Help people to the end, let's take you in! It won't take much effort!" Lu Wu glanced at the small door, thought for a while and said to Shu Ying: "By the way, let the pharmacy shop help us hire a witch doctor."

Shu Weiying was worried that Mr. Qing and his group would be anxious to invite a witch doctor to see a doctor, so they thought not to waste their time and prepared to send medicine in by themselves. Now that Lu Wu and others are willing to help, that's better!

"Then I'll thank Brother Lu Wu." Shu Ying thanked sweetly, watched Lu Wu go to the gate, and then took them into the gate.

"Miss Shu?!"

The pharmacy shop has been busy at this time. Several guys behind the counter were counting the medicinal materials they received in the morning. When they heard someone coming in, a guy in green immediately shouted in surprise, and then asked in confusion: "Miss Shu is here at this time, but what good medicinal materials have you found?"

Shu Yan was stunned for a moment, then shook his head with a wry smile. It’s not a fault for thinking this way!

Usually she only came to the pharmacy once every half month to deliver medicine. She only came a few days ago. If there weren’t something good, how could she be willing to run so far just to send some herbs to Mingzhen? She guessed that those big bags of herbs would not be able to get a tael of silver!

Seeing Lu Wu and others put the bags of herbs in the corner, Shu Ying then said to the guy: "My me, please count them for me to calculate them."

The guy in Qingyi glanced at Lu Wu and others, as if he understood something. He quickly nodded, checked all the herbs and put them on the scale, and then calculated the number: "Miss Shu, this herb can only be counted for you by 200 quotas."

It was less than she thought! Shu Ying sighed and then asked again: "I still have some ointments I made myself. Can I collect them in the medicine shop?"

"Ointment?!" The man in Qingyi was stunned for a moment, but shook his head and said in embarrassment: "Miss Shu, the medicine shop only collects medicine made by witch doctors and famous vermicelli ointments made by sage doctors..."

Shu Ying smiled disappointed and no longer made things difficult for the guy: "I understand. Please exchange the copper coins for broken silver for me, so I'll take them more conveniently."
