With Luo Weiping's support, we headed deeper into the village. Not long after, we stopped at the entrance of a large courtyard with a signboard on top of it. On it were four simple words — Xue Family's Medicine Shop.
Even though these words were simple, their strokes were vigorous and vigorous. With a single glance, I could tell that they had been written by an expert. This gave me some confidence, thinking that the person at the Xue family's medicine store isn't an ordinary person.
After lingering at the entrance for a while, Luo Weiping helped me into the courtyard. Upon entering, I saw that the courtyard was filled with all kinds of green plants, all of which looked very strange. Some of them were vegetables, but most of them were unknown.
It was the first time he saw someone planting herbs in his yard.
After a short while, our group arrived outside a large hall. When we stood at the entrance, we saw a few people standing in the middle of the hall, behind those people were a large row of medicine boxes that were divided into different categories. Each of the medicine boxes had the names of the medicinal herbs, such as Angelica sinensis, motherwort, and so on … It was very orderly, and gave off a refreshing feeling.
But when we entered the hall, we found out that it was a young man in his twenties who was being treated. He was gentle and gentle, and he wore a set of coarse clothes.
As the saying goes, there is no hair on the mouth, and it's not very reliable. The older the doctor, the richer my experience is, not to mention, Li Runjie and I are not just some common ailments, but we have been struck by a sinister palm technique, called the Cold Ice Palm. There is a poison in our bodies, so I feel that there is not much hope for a cure.
Luo Weiping looked at the young doctor and saw that he was busy treating the patient, so he didn't disturb him. Since there were two rows of wooden benches in the hall, the few of us sat down and waited quietly.
Right now, the one seeking treatment from the young doctor was a strange middle-aged man. His face was covered by a black cloth, and two eyes could be seen.
The young doctor looked at the middle-aged man and tapped the table with a finger that was as long as a woman's sleeve. He said indifferently, ”May I ask where you are feeling uncomfortable? Why are you covering your face?”
The middle-aged man glanced at the young man sitting opposite to him and asked: ”You are the head of the Xue Clan's medicine store. Is there anyone older in the house? My illness is a little troublesome, I'm afraid you won't be able to see it at such a young age.”
This middle-aged man's tone was obviously filled with distrust, the same feeling I had when I first came in.
However, the young man seemed to be quite calm, he still pointed at the table and said, ”My dad is taking a nap, and he doesn't have time to come out.” However, the young man seemed to be quite calm, he still pointed at the table and said, ”My dad is taking a lunch break, and he didn't have time to come out.
These words were spoken softly yet firmly, making it impossible for others to find any faults. The man hesitated and said, ”Can you let your family's old man help me take a look? My illness is really troublesome, let's not waste time …”
”No, my father is sleeping, no one can come. Are you going to take a look?” The young man was already displeased.
