To be honest, I don’t have much feelings for those drug stores that claim to be century-old. Although I admire traditional Chinese medicine, the serious old Chinese medicine practitioners I admire do not just set up a table and put a sign on the table.
Those who are experienced traditional Chinese medicine doctors. Most of the brands of traditional Chinese medicine have been smashed by such guys. Nowadays, with the development of medicine, it is really rare to see pharmacies with assistants who dispense medicine. So I asked Sister Zhou if she knew this.
Where is the pharmacy listed on the address? Sister Zhou said she knew and told us how to get there.
I picked up a jujube and wrapped it in a tissue. After knowing the truth, I really didn't want to touch it with my hands. Then I said to Hu Zongren, let's go and go to the pharmacy to ask. Then I told Sister Zhou, I
Don't touch the rope array and the cloth on the ground. If Mr. Zhang comes to see Zaozi later, don't stop him. Now that it is confirmed that he is possessed by a ghost, unless it is not afraid of pain, then it will
I dare not touch this thing. After Sister Zhou agreed, Hu Zongren and I went out.
Because I was unfamiliar with the place, even though Sister Zhou told us how to go, I still stopped and asked for directions. Suining City is not big, but even so, I still spent a lot of time. Suining and
Like many expanded cities, they are divided into a new city and an old city. Unfortunately, this pharmacy happens to be located in the old city. The roads in the old city are relatively narrow and there are many pedestrians on the road. I didn’t dare to honk the horn all the way because
I was still worried about being beaten, so when Hu Zongren and I rushed to the pharmacy, it was already close to four o'clock in the afternoon.
I know that we will definitely not be able to go back today, because apart from the time for investigation and the time for Hu Zongren to do the soul-delivering method, even if everything goes well, it will probably be very late to finish it, so I am still looking at where to go along the way.
There are hotels that look cleaner. When we arrived at the pharmacy, there were actually not many customers in the store. There were two guys taking medicine at the counter, one was older and the other was slightly younger. The younger one was still busy weighing the medicine.
After looking at the weight of the medicinal materials, he put them into a paper medicine bag, folded them into a small square very skillfully, put them into a plastic bag, and handed them to the customers waiting outside. The older clerk was confused because of the number of people.
Not too busy, so I sat on a small bench near the inside of the store and fanned myself.
Hu Zongren said to me that the younger brother was still busy and the old one was dozing off again. Who should we ask? I said of course we should ask the older one. When should we go to bed?
Time to get up. After saying that, Hu Zongren asked me to hand the date to him, and then he walked to the counter and shouted to the dozing waiter, "Hey, master, please come and help me."
The guy stood up lazily and reluctantly and walked over to us. There was a glass counter between us and him. There were many small trays on the counter, all of which were filled with neatly arranged medicinal materials.
For example, centipedes, geckos, cicadas, etc. They look disgusting, but they are all good medicine. He asked us what was going on. Hu Zongren opened the paper wrapping the dates. Is this something you sell here?
When the guy saw it, he immediately boasted, "Of course, there are very few pharmacies for medicine in the whole city of Suining, and there are even fewer pharmacies that sell Yin Zao. He also emphasized that these products are of the highest quality, and they are sold every day."
Eat one, it's really exciting! When he said the word "energetic", he added an accent and gritted his teeth, which made me feel how exciting it was, as if he was eating this all day long.
.However, he can recognize it at a glance, which means that this person has either been buying medicines in the pharmacy for many years, or he knows the medicine himself and has certain pharmacological knowledge.
Hu Zongren said with a silly smile, yes, yes, we just think this thing is very useful, and we plan to come to your place to have a look and choose some. Please show us your current inventory. The guy said
, this Yin Zao is not easy to grow, so the quantity is very small, so the price is not cheap. Hu Zongren said, it’s okay, I came with money, it’s meaningless for you to tell me this. Hu Zongren is more naughty than me by nature,
When talking to these people in the market, he seemed less distant than me. Probably the clerk thought that Hu Zongren was an insider, so he turned to the row of medicine prices filled with various small drawers.
He pulled out a drawer and put it in front of Hu Zongren and I. I looked carefully and found that the drawer was all full of dates. Needless to say, they must be all yin dates, at least most of them. It is inevitable that some of them are fake.
The color size and saturation look similar, so it is difficult for us to distinguish. So Hu Zongren said to me, take your compass and have a look. I glared at him and said, you are crazy, there are so many people here. Hu Zongren said
What are you afraid of? You dare to buy Yin Zao, but don’t you dare to check it? When the guy heard that we wanted to check it, he immediately boasted, “What are you checking for? We have high-quality goods, and we only need to check them in a month.”
You can get a dozen of them, but if you go further, you may have to go to Chengdu to collect them, but you may not be able to get them!
I asked the guy, where do you get these yin jujubes from? The guy said he didn’t know that clearly and had to ask the doctor in the store. I pointed to the old man at the door who was pretending to be a doctor.
I asked the waiter, is that the doctor you are talking about? The waiter smiled and said, no, he was invited by the doctor to sit in the hall. He knew how to do simple things like taking the pulse, but did not dare to prescribe medicine. I smiled and said, take the pulse.
It's so simple. People who don't have a little effort can't learn it. When he said this, Hu Zongren suddenly reached out and grabbed my wrist, and then said jokingly, "Oh, Queen, you have a happy pulse~ Hahahaha~"
Except for the last few words where he couldn't hold back his laughter, his tone was very much like that of a eunuch. I quickly opened his hands, knowing that his hands had touched vagina. The guy also thought it was funny.
, and then asked us, who of the two of you wants to use this Yin Zao. I was stunned for a moment, and then said to him, you misunderstood, we are not in that kind of relationship... Thinking about it, it seems that it doesn't matter if I explain to him,
On the contrary, it was easy to describe it and get darker and darker, so I stopped talking about it. I asked the store clerk, can I meet your boss, the doctor you mentioned. The clerk looked at me doubtfully and said, you are not here to buy yin jujube.
Yes, why are you meeting him? As a guy, this guy obviously talks a little too much, so I started to get a little impatient, took out my bag, took out the compass and some charms in the bag, and put them out
I asked him at the counter, "Look what this is. You know what we do, right? Someone ate the Yin Zao you sold here and something went wrong, so I want to ask your boss to see what's going on."
Solve this matter.
The clerk was stunned for a moment, but soon he said, "You two can't see the truth. Wait a moment. I'll go in and tell the doctor." Before leaving, he also brought in a whole drawer of Yin dates.
After a while, he came out and told us that the boss asked you to go in. When he came out, he no longer had the drawer in his hand. In other words, he left the drawer with the boss.
.
Entering the office, a middle-aged man who looked to be in his fifties and wearing thick glasses looked at the two of us and said, "You two said that there is a problem with the yin jujubes in my store. What is the problem?" He still had some in his hand.
Holding a writing brush, I am writing about the pharmacy. There is a statue of Hua Tuo in the corner of the office. From the perspective of worshiping gods, I think this Chinese medicine doctor should be relatively reliable. So I said you, Yin Zao
There seems to be some problem with the origin. This is not your problem. We just want to find out where the person who bought the Yin dates you bought is. Because we have a customer who was possessed by a female ghost after eating the Yin dates in your store.
The doctor stopped what he was doing, and then asked me how it could happen that a ghost possessed me. Normally, when other doctors heard my words, they would first express doubts, but this doctor did not. Just like me before
As I said, due to inheritance, many old Chinese medicine practitioners have to worship gods before they practice medicine. Because Chinese medicine combines the essence of witch doctors and Taoist medicine and has developed to this day, the regular old Chinese medicine doctors who had many rules in the early years still continue to practice
The lineage and inheritance. So I told the doctor the general situation. The doctor saw that what we said was true, and he himself should be a person who believes in this, so he began to realize that something was wrong.
There must be some selfishness involved. If this matter spreads and others know, and the yin dates sold in their store can cause ghosts to occur after eating them, it will be difficult to do business in the future, let alone something like this.
This is a century-old store that cares very much about its reputation. So he picked up the small drawer on the table that contained a lot of jujubes, walked up to us and said, you are saying that these jujubes are all problematic? Hu Zongren said, that’s not the case.
Not all of them are faulty. There must be only a small amount that caused ghost possession, but we need to check. Moreover, the part you have sold before this may not be recovered, and I don’t know who it was sold to. Hu Zongren’s
I understand what he means. He is saying that besides the Mr. Zhang we dealt with this time, there may be other people who bought this weird Yin Zao.
The doctor said that the sales of Yin Zao here have not been very good, so we don’t buy much every time. After all, there are only a few people who can accept this thing. Many people don’t even know that this thing exists, so how can they buy it?
Ah. But I really can’t guarantee whether anyone else besides your client has bought it. What should I do? I could see that he was really anxious, so I said to the doctor, let’s do this.
If you can contact the supplier for us, maybe we can find the root of the matter. At present, my client is just a ghost, has become someone else, and has not shown any other symptoms of attacking others. Speaking of
While I was here, I touched my nose, and it still hurt slightly.
The doctor said that the demand for yin jujube is small and relatively rare, and the girls have to be willing to do it. His supplier is a local in Suining, but she is a woman in her forties. She said earlier that she does it every month
I can get some, but I haven't been able to receive the goods from her in the past few months. The goods have been out of stock for two months, and I haven't contacted her since.
I quickly asked, do you have this woman’s contact information? The doctor said, yes, this matter is so serious now, I will take you to find her after I close the store.
