On summer evenings, the temperature is still very high.

In addition, the sun has not yet set, and you can encounter villagers carrying fishing gear and jumping goods everywhere along the way.

The closer you are to the town, the greater the traffic. You can even see groups of mules, horses and carriages. The accents are mixed with north and south. It is obvious that they are all men and merchants who make a living at the harbor dock, including men, women, and young people. Among them, you can even see many scholars, officials, and even foreigners riding horses and sitting in sedan chairs.

Twenty minutes later, the sun had set, and a large area of ​​houses appeared in front of them, densely packed brick and stone tiled houses forming a bustling and lively street, and there were even many two-story and three-story buildings.

Lanling wine, Ameixiang tea, Zhengjia seafood, Lao Wujiajiajiajiao store, Sihai Inn, Fulai Restaurant, Gaojia soup cake and other various restaurants are crowded together.

There are people carrying loads, carrying baskets, riding horses, riding cars on the streets, and people coming and going.

"Look at it, fresh yellow croaker..."

"Don't miss it when you pass by. The new wine from the Chunfenglou store in Mingzhou is 100% per pound..."

"Annan agarwood, Chameng agarwood, if you don't have any fragrance, don't have any money..."

Not only was the streets lively and noisy, but there were waiters shouting loudly at the doors of each shop.

"Uncle comes in and play...Oh, this young man is so handsome..."

At the entrance of a brothel with red lanterns, several merchants and scholars riding horses were instantly surrounded by a group of women wearing heavy makeup.

Zhao Qi stopped and looked into the brothel curiously.

"Hey, isn't this stupid man? Do you want to go in and sleep with a lady?"

It seems that Zhao Qi is still very famous in the local area, and even in this bustling town, someone still recognizes him.

"Hehe, it's really that stupid boy!" Several women wearing heavy makeup immediately covered their mouths and muttered a few words before laughing.

Zhao Qi's face was dark in an instant.

Damn it seems that the name fool cannot be escaped.

"Young Master, let's go!" Xiaozhu held Zhao Qi's hand tightly and pulled it out. Whether it was because he was afraid of being ridiculed or because Zhao Qi couldn't help but leave her and go shopping in the brothel.

"Young Master... Hahaha..." A fat man in a short jacket laughed and a group of people around him laughed. His eyes were filled with joy when he looked at Zhao Qi.

Zhao Qi curled his lips and hurriedly led the little girl away with regret.

"Young Master, I'm sorry!" After getting into the crowd, the little girl lowered her head and didn't dare to look at Zhao Qi.

"Look, you don't believe it, you'll be laughed at by someone!" Zhao Qi smiled bitterly and touched Xiaozhu's head, "Remember in the future, you must call me brother, you are not my maid, let alone a slave, you are my sister, we will depend on each other in the future!"

"Yeah!" The little girl nodded with her lips tightly, and two lines of tears rolled down.

"Don't cry, don't cry, otherwise others think I'm hitting you again, is the one in front of me a medicine shop?" Zhao Qi asked, pointing to a shop with the guise of the medicine cloth hanging in front of me.

"Yes, that's the Lu Family Pharmacy in the town!" Xiao Zhu nodded with tears in his hands.

If you are born and old, you can't escape the birth, old age, sickness and death.

Therefore, there is an industry that will last forever.

That is the pharmacies and hospitals.

Although this is just a township in Qingyuan Prefecture and not the most lively prefecture nearby, Zhao Qi was very surprised by the prosperity here. He didn't even have to go and see that Yin County dozens of miles away is at least ten times more prosperous than here.

As for Hangzhou, hundreds of miles away, it is now the most prosperous metropolis on the earth, with a population of more than one million. I don’t know how many times more prosperous than Qingyuan Prefecture.

Lujia Pharmacy.

This is the name of the medicine shop. On a smoky plaque, a few big words look very eye-catching.

There are two floors of the medicine shop, and there is a tall wooden counter facing you. The counter is densely packed with small drawers for medicine. In addition to those who come in and out to catch medicine, there is a table in the center of the hall, and an old man with gray hair and beard wearing a long gown and hat is taking pulses. There are also several apprentices standing next to him listening.

Although there are many people, it is not noisy inside.

As soon as I stepped into the medicine shop, a strong smell of Chinese medicine came to my face.

"What medicine do you guys sell... Hey, aren't this stupid man?" A pharmacy shop's friend came up and recognized Zhao Qi before he could finish his words.

Zhao Qi touched his chin awkwardly, thinking to himself that I am so famous, why do people in the town know each other very well?

"Little brother, I want to buy some plasters to treat the wound. I wonder if there is one?" Zhao Qi was too lazy to be as knowledgeable as a friend, and directly explained his purpose.

The pharmacy shop guy stared at Zhao Qi like a ghost.

"Do you have the plaster I want?" Zhao Qi's voice became much louder this time.

"You... aren't you stupid?" The guy took a step back in surprise, hitting the counter and almost knocking a medicine mill to the ground.

"What kind of discipline is going on in a panic!" The old doctor who was taking the pulse looked up, but after seeing that it was Zhao Qi, he was obviously a little surprised.

"Today, the mountain god showed his spirit and cured my brother. My brother is no longer a fool in the future. Don't talk nonsense, okay?" Xiao Zhugu was in front of Zhao Qi.

"The mountain god appears?" The old doctor and the entire pharmacy shop looked at Zhao Qi in surprise.

"This... I was knocked down by the mud statue from the mountain temple today and I was much more awake when I woke up, but I just couldn't remember some things!" Zhao Qi explained awkwardly.

"There is such a thing. Where is Dalang's injury? Let me see!" The old doctor walked to Zhao Qi in surprise.

Zhao Qi untied the strip of cloth on his head, and the herbs applied on it fell down, revealing a large blue-purple bag that was still bulging on his forehead.

"Are there any injuries elsewhere?" The old doctor looked carefully and pressed the bag with his hand.

"Hiss~" Zhao Qi almost fell from tears in pain. He covered his forehead and shook his head quickly and said, "It's just that his legs, feet and back are abraded, nothing!"

"Well, the injury is not serious. Take some plaster for Dalang, take it back and apply it a few times!" The old doctor nodded slightly and sat back and continued to treat the patient.

An apprentice quickly walked up and asked a few questions. He learned that it was not Zhao Qi who asked for plaster, but Xiao Zhu, so he untied the cloth strip on Xiao Zhu's head and took a closer look. Zhao Qi asked the apprentice to look at the scars on Xiao Zhu's arms and legs. The apprentice said with a strange expression: "The wound on the forehead is quite serious. You need to apply some golden sore medicine to stop bleeding and generate muscles. Other places will be treated with Artemisia annua that reduces swelling and dissipates stasis. You won't see such a serious injury earlier. It's hot now, so it may be troublesome if you delay it for a few days!"

A few minutes later, the apprentice took out a small bag of gold powder and a fist-sized porcelain bottle from the counter.

"Don't see water on the wound on the forehead. Apply it with Jinchuang powder and wrap it with clean cotton cloth. Apply the ointment in the bottle in other places. Once a day, it will almost heal in three days!" The apprentice handed the medicine to Zhao Qi.

"Thank you, how much is it?" Zhao Qi thanked quickly.

"Five 80 cents, four hundred cents for me!"

"Uh!" Zhao Qi's hand that reached into his pocket stopped, and his face became quite embarrassed. "Sorry, I only brought two hundred Wenhuizi. I don't know if I can buy less!"
