Chapter 47: The old pharmacist

"Is there anyone there..." Ling Han, who finally reached halfway up the mountain, saw the hut and rushed to the door, knocking eagerly on the wooden door covered with green moss.

"Hey, Ling Han, wait a minute, we have to change someone else's back, I'm almost exhausted." Jiang Qi came over from behind panting.

"Creak creak..." The wooden door made a few hair-raising sounds and then opened little by little, but there was no one behind the door.

Ling Han looked down and found a young face staring directly at him with alert eyes.

"Wow, you're back to your youth again!" Ling Han took three steps back in shock, pointing at the child who was no taller than his legs and shouted. The child who opened the door was so frightened by this shout that he sat down on the ground and started crying.

"Who is making so much noise!" An old man rushed out from behind the house angrily.

"Didn't you smell the medicine I was boiling? The big commotion just now made my hands shake. I sprinkled three more grams of peony root and ruined the whole pot of soup. How can you compensate me?" The old man grabbed hold of the medicine.

Ling Han refused to let go of his collar.

"Don't do it, sir. It's all a misunderstanding. I didn't mean it. Look, the child is scared to tears. You should find a way to comfort him first."

"Shut up, you're the one who made me cry. Even if I try my best today, I still have to deal with you, an impolite young man!"

The child on the ground was still crying. Finally, the old man couldn't bear it anymore. He turned around and cursed: "Alan Huang, you girl are lazy again. Come and take your useless brother away."

A little girl with a face covered with soot ran over from the backyard and looked timidly at the stranger who was grabbed by the collar by her grandfather.

"What are you still doing? You don't know what you should do at this time! The two siblings are so stupid together."

The girl helped her crying brother and quickly entered the house. At this time, Jiang Qi finally arrived at Ling Han's side.

"Old man, don't! Don't... My cousin is not sensible, I'm sorry... I'm sorry for causing you trouble..." Jiang Qi, who was carrying Gaoyi, stopped panting, his waist was too tired to straighten up, he just used

With his left hand, he grabbed the old man's hand that was holding Ling Han's collar tightly, fearing that he would really hit him.

"We can discuss anything. We came to you just to ask you to help check on my friend's illness. Please save him." Ling Han was almost out of breath after being caught on the ground. This old doctor

I'm over seventy and my hand strength is still so strong.

"Hmph, birds of a feather flock together, and your friends are no good either, so I won't save them!"

"Hey! What do you mean? You can say bad things about me, but you call me my friend..."

"Go away! Go aside." Jiang Qi's left hand on the old man's arm skillfully released the old man's hands from Ling Han's collar, and took the opportunity to push Ling Han aside.

"While passing through your land, I heard that before I entered the city, there lived a famous doctor who was proficient in brewing potions on this mountain. My friend accidentally suffered a serious injury while fleeing recently. I heard that you are here.

, I came to you without stopping for a moment. The hospital in the neighboring town tried their best to persuade me to go to them for treatment, but I didn’t even listen to them. Please give it to me no matter what for the sake of doing this.

Help us once." Jiang Qi looked sincere.

"Are you telling the truth?" The old man looked at him doubtfully.

"Do you think I'm telling a lie?" As he spoke, Jiang Qi turned around and showed the old man his clothes, which were almost completely soaked with sweat.

"Huh, okay, I believe you for once, but I don't treat you for free. You have to help me while I'm treating him."

"Of course, this is what we should do!" Jiang Qi said, nudging Ling Han aside with his elbow to get him to react.

"But..." Ling Han was interrupted by the old man just as he was about to speak.

"For your cousin's sake, you are not allowed to look around or touch anything when you go in. Remember, only the woodshed can accommodate you!" The old man looked at Ling Han with a look of disgust.

"Tch!" Ling Han also turned his head to the side in disgust.

"Amaranth Huang, go and clean up the hut and woodshed outside so that they can stay at night." When the child's crying stopped, the old man immediately ordered the little girl.

"What are you two still doing? Go chop wood and boil water. I've determined the cause of the disease and will start brewing his medicinal soup. If you stand here, just wait to collect his body." After hearing this,

The two men immediately ran out, one chopping wood and the other fetching water.

"I said, Jiang Qi, are you okay? This doctor seems to be a bit capable. Can he see the difference between Gao Yi and ordinary people?" Ling Han found the opportunity to approach Jiang Qi and asked worriedly.

"Probably not. Do you remember the last time we were in the hospital? The doctor diagnosed that he was fine. He just overused his energy and needed more rest to wake up. He has been frozen by you for the past few days. At most, he may not be able to wake up.

Just prepare more cold-repelling and replenishing herbs, it won’t be a big problem, we’ll just take a good rest here these days.”

The girl named Amaranth Huang passed by them with a large basket of medicinal materials. She glanced at Jiang Qi quietly and found that Jiang Qi was also staring at her, so she ran away immediately.

"Why do I feel like I've seen this child before? Where is it? Oh, I can't remember. What's going on... Forget it, it's just an illusion..." Jiang Qi heard the old man in the room urging again.

They quickly put the matter behind them.

"Hey, you two come in right away!"

Hearing this voice, the two people who were still thinking wildly outside the room were all excited. They immediately put down what they were doing and hurried in.

There is not much space in the house. The bed used to take care of patients takes up half of the space. The remaining space is only enough for walking corridors. For this reason, many walls have been used and wooden frames have been erected on them.

or unclosed cabinets.

Not to mention Ling Han, many of the medicinal materials stored inside had never been seen by Jiang Qi before. The roof beams were covered with all kinds of animal bones. If they hadn't already known that he was a pharmacist, it would have been the first time.

Entering this room, one could probably mistake this old man for a hunter.

The space was too small, so Ling Han had no choice but to squeeze towards Jiang Qi. Jiang Qi himself had no room, so he squeezed Ling Han back.

"Is there something you didn't tell me?" The old pharmacist sitting next to Gao Yi, frowning, finally spoke.

"What? I don't quite understand what you mean. What do you mean about my friend's injuries that are different from what we said?" Jiang Qi suddenly thought of what Ling Han had just said to him, and quickly tested the old pharmacist.

"Do you think I won't know if you don't tell me? You are superpowers!" After the old pharmacist finished speaking, he stared at Ling Han.
