Chapter 6 Chapter 6 The Crisis in Qingmen Town

"Well? According to the information given to me by Senior Brother Tian, ​​Qingmen Town should be a prosperous town. Why does it seem very deserted now? Although it is not too early, there is not even a single person in the entire town, right?" Li Haoxuan stood outside Qingmen Town, thinking at Qingmen Town, which was getting darker in the sky.

Li Haoxuan walked slowly forward and found that the entire Qingmen Town was like this, without any anger. Soon, the sky became completely dark, and only a few lights were still on in the distance, and the fire was weak, as if they would be blown out by the wind at any time.

"Grandpa, it has not rained for more than two months in our Qingmen Town. I'm afraid the herbs in the medicinal field can't stand it anymore." In a small house with gray lights, a girl was sewing a patched dress with a slight light and said to an old man sitting at the door smoking a dry tobacco, his tone full of helplessness.

"I don't believe that God will treat our Qingmen Town like this." The old man smoked two puffs of cigarettes before he said dullly, "My grandfather once told me that our Qingmen Town has a fairy fate. God will bless us to have good weather and good health every year! Wait a little longer, Crescent, it may rain in two days? I'll go to Xiliang River to get some water tomorrow morning. I'll save as much medicine as I can."

"Grandpa, look at Uncle Wang and Uncle Li. They have sold the medicine and fields and went to other places. I heard that they have opened up medicine fields in other places again and live a good life. They can do it, so why should we stay in Qingmen Town? As I said, don't say a day or two, I'm afraid it won't rain in one or two months in the next one or two." The woman called Crescent Moon said with a pout.

"Stop." After hearing this, the old man slapped the wooden board on the door and shouted. Then he seemed to feel that his tone was too heavy. He sighed and said, "Oh, Yueyaer, grandpa knows that you are suffering, but Qingmen Town really has a fairy fate. I believe God will not treat our Qingmen Town like this. Yueyaer, you must not forget your roots in life. One place of water and soil raises the other, and it is Qingmen Town that raised us. Now Qingmen Town does not accept Qingmen Town, we should stick to it here."

"Okay, okay, I'm just talking casually. I didn't expect you to move away at all." Yueyaer wrinkled his nose and said, "If you really have the intention, you wouldn't have secretly bought the medicine field of Uncle Wang and the others."

"Ah...How do you know this?" the old man asked in surprise.

"Grandpa, I'm not a child anymore, and I don't care about the matter in the store. Do you really think you can hide it from me?" Yueyaer snorted, "Okay, I'm going to rest. Grandpa, you should rest early, and you'll help you make up your clothes. I'll go to Xiliang River to fetch water tomorrow, and I can bring some more or less."

"No need, grandpa has the strength. Just prepare meals for grandpa at home or go to the medicine field to remove weeds."

"fine···"

"Old man, is there a pharmacy in Qingmen Town called Huichuntang?" At this moment, a handsome young man came over and asked the old man.

"Recovery Chuntang? What are you doing when you find Chuntang?" the old man was stunned and asked.

"Isn't Huichuntang a pharmacy? I'm here to buy medicine." Li Haoxuan replied.

"Buy medicine? If you don't sell it, go somewhere else." The old man's face changed suddenly after hearing this, and he said in a depressed state.

"Not selling? Could it be... Is this Huichun Hall?" Li Haoxuan asked in surprise.

"Grandpa, how can you do business like this? Why do customers push them out when they come to the door? This young master, this is Huichuntang. You are here to buy medicine. Can you show me the list?" At this time, Yueyaer walked out and said to Li Haoxuan with a smile.

"Oh, this is a list." Li Haoxuan quickly took out a list from his arms and handed it over.

"Three hundred ginseng, five hundred Polygonum multiflorum...500 kilograms wide angle, five hundred kilograms of eptuagints..." Yueyaer carefully read the entire page list, and finally shook her head and said with a little regret, "Young Master, we really can't get these medicinal materials now."

"How could it be?" Li Haoxuan was even more surprised. "I had heard that Qingmen Town is a hometown of medicinal materials, and I also heard that Huichuntang is the largest medicine hall in Qingmen Town, so I came here from thousands of miles away. This dosage of medicine should not be anything to Huichuntang, right?"

"If it were a year ago, or even half a year ago, this was nothing to our Huichuntang, and it would be easy to get it. But now, today is different from the past." Yueyaer sighed and said, "Tell me the truth. We can indeed take out the medicinal materials you want now, but they really can't be sold. Listen to my explanation. It has not rained for several months in Qingmen Town, and the medicinal fields have almost been cracked by the sun. If my grandfather and a few friends had not gotten up early and went to Xiliang River to fetch water for irrigation every day, the medicinal fields would have been gone long ago!"

"But there are so many medicinal fields, how can only a few people use them? If it doesn't rain again, all the medicinal materials in the medicinal fields will be sunburned in a few days! If that day really comes, the finished medicinal materials we stock up now are the best seeds, which is also the key to our resumption. If it is sold to you now, where will our seeds come from then on? Why do so many people come to Qingmen Town to buy medicinal materials? It is because our medicinal materials are good, why are our medicinal materials good? The very key point is that the seeds are good and the variety is good. So, at this time, we will never sell so many medicinal materials. If you want one or two pounds, it doesn't matter."

"Oh, so that's it." Li Haoxuan nodded and said. Qingmen Town encountered such a problem, it was really impossible to blame the other party. After thinking about it, he suddenly asked, "What if it rains? If it rains, can you sell medicinal materials to me?"

"If it rains, our medicinal fields and medicinal materials will be preserved. In this case, it would be okay to sell those finished medicinal materials to you," said Yue Yaer. "But some people observe the celestial phenomena at night and have concluded that there will be no rain in the next few days. Otherwise, you might as well go somewhere else to see it. The imperial capital is a hundred miles south, and there are also a lot of medicinal materials there."

"How can the medicinal materials in the imperial capital be compared with those in Qingmen Town?" Li Haoxuan smiled slightly and said, "This girl, then we will decide that if it rains tomorrow, you will sell me the medicinal materials to me. How about it?"

"Haha, OK," said Yueyaer, smiling and said, "But we have to say it first. If the rain falls less and the medicinal materials in the medicinal field cannot survive, you can't count it."

"Of course." Li Haoxuan nodded, and then asked, "Can you ask, where is your medicinal field? Although I am doing a medicinal material transaction, I have never seen the medicinal field."

"Let's go west and you'll be there about three miles." Yueyaer chuckled, as if a little strange, Li Haoxuan was actually interested in the medicine field, and then pointed to Li Haoxuan in an approximate direction.

"Well, then I'll leave first, come again tomorrow." Li Haoxuan said, then nodded with Yueyaer and turned toward the west.

"This person is really interesting. Do you want to go to see the medicine field at night? You can't wait?" Looking at Li Haoxuan who was leaving, Yueyaer covered her mouth and smiled, revealing two shallow dimples.

"Quinyaer, who would run into the medicine field in the middle of the night? You won't be thieves, right?" the old man stood up and said, looking surprised and suspicious.

"Grandpa, you're thinking too much." Yueyaer turned around and said, "Who doesn't know where our Huichuntang medicine field is in Qingmen Town? He can ask someone to ask for the address. Moreover, aren't there any other medicine field? Isn't it that they are there? Nothing can happen, let alone you don't know the situation of the medicine field now, what can be missing?"

"That's true," the old man thought for a while and said, "Hey, even I'm becoming suspicious. Okay, it's getting late, I'm going to bed, you should go to bed early too." After that, the old man knocked out the ashes and turned around and walked upstairs.
