Chapter 12 The Old Man

At dawn, a few cockcrows were heard outside the inn, which opened the curtain of a new day. There was still a bit of mist in the air, which slightly blocked the sight of pedestrians. However, the excitement on the streets was still there, with hustle and bustle. It was not reduced at all by the light mist.

Shen Kuang still woke up early, but now he was injured, so he did not continue his sword practice as usual.

Senior Han's medicated bath was very effective. After one night of treatment, although the pain on his body was still there, it was no longer as severe as yesterday. He could feel the itching coming from the healing process on his skin, and he did not dare to scratch it. , when you really can't stand it, just dip some cold water and apply it on it, so that it won't be too itchy. He can stand up without any support, and he doesn't tremble because of pain.

Shigure also got up early. She would basically do trivial tasks such as cleaning the room and wiping the tables and chairs every morning. There were not many rooms in the no-sake house, and there were usually many diners and travelers staying in the hotel. There are very few, so this kind of work is not heavy.

Shen Kuang originally wanted to help Shi Yu do it, but when Shi Yu looked over with resentful eyes, he knew he couldn't help. The little girl angrily asked him to sit down and recuperate, and also asked him not to compete with her for work.

In fact, the injury was not as serious as Shigure thought, and the morning walk was also accelerating its healing. However, he also knew that Shigure was caring about him, a cute little girl, so he accepted it happily.

It would usually be Tatsuki when Shigure finished doing all that. From now on, if she was not busy, she would go to the pharmacy on the second floor to memorize prescriptions and memorize the herbal medicines. This was also her daily compulsory course.

There is a puppet in the pharmacy with many needle holes on it. Shigure said that they were made when her master taught her medical skills when she was a child. There are too many acupuncture points on the body, and the puppet can help her remember them. Occasionally she will Pricking a few needles on it is like imitating the master. Shigure said: "The master only becomes meticulous when sitting in the clinic. He is basically lazy on weekdays."

Shen Kuang also remembers acupuncture points well. However, when his master taught him in the past, he did not make a puppet like this. The master usually used him directly for teaching, and told him the name, function, etc. of which acupuncture point he touched with his finger. He suffered a lot from this. Therefore, seeing these things in the pharmacy was very kind, and when he told Shigure about his experiences of memorizing acupuncture points, it made her laugh.

He is exactly the opposite of Shigure. Shigure studies medicine mainly and martial arts as a supplement, while he studies medicine as a supplement and swordsmanship mainly.

There were a wall full of medicine cabinets on the left and right sides of the pharmacy, which made Shen Kuang dazzled. Shigure, on the other hand, was very happy to rummage through the cabinets and study the herbal medicines. There was also a large square table in the room, with many medical instructions on it. The tools needed to be used were also a bunch of prescriptions written by Shigure when she recited them. She said that they were all memorized slowly during her previous practice.

Of course, now she can memorize all the prescriptions. The interesting thing every day is to recall them again or improve them. It is not difficult to recall the prescriptions, but it is quite difficult to improve them.

Those prescriptions that have been handed down are all slowly formed after continuous exploration, research and trial use. Therefore, improving prescriptions requires a step-by-step process. If you are lucky, you may be able to make some discoveries.

Shigure smiled and said that she and her master had newly discovered the effects of mixing many herbs. For example, Panax notoginseng has the effect of promoting blood circulation and removing blood stasis. If combined with Angelica sinensis, the effect of safflower will be even greater.

good.

She also said that the dosages of medicinal materials recorded in ancient prescriptions are not all correct, and that different combinations of medicines may produce better effects. This is probably the most important thing Shigure does every day, and she also gives She had great fun. When talking about this, she was very active and chattered a lot of things that he didn't understand.

He had nothing to do, so he helped Shigure grind medicinal ingredients, and the whole morning passed quietly in such a warm scene.

In the afternoon, he and Shigure went out together. Because the ingredients in the store were running out, Senior Han was urging Shigure to buy them. Although there were not many customers on weekdays, he still had to prepare enough ingredients to welcome guests.

Shen Kuang went with Shigure without incident, but Shigure refused at first. But after he bounced around twice intact, Shigure accepted it. He knew Shigure's worries, but the injuries on his body were serious. It's no longer serious. Of course, all this must be attributed to Senior Han's medical skills.

Shen Kuang came here with the intention of helping Shi Yu. He couldn't help with anything else and he could still carry things. The second time he came was to get a drink. The pot of Fu Yuchun had already been drunk by Senior Han, so he needed Make another pot.

In addition to these, of course he also has selfish motives. He still has a lot of silver on him, so he wants to go shopping with Shigure to see if he can buy something he likes.

The market in the afternoon was obviously less noisy than in the morning, and the crowds of people were also much smaller.

The season has not yet reached the beginning of summer, but the temperature in the afternoon is quite a bit higher, so those thick sweaters that are unique to late winter and early spring have been removed. Most people on the street have put on quite breathable clothes. The colors and styles are also so bright and gorgeous.

Shen Kuang also dressed casually, and because he was injured, he wore loose clothes. In this way, the afternoon wind blowing through the sleeves and trouser legs and hitting the skin can be more refreshing.

Yesterday was in a hurry and there were not many places to wander around the city. Today, with Shigure, he only knew the prosperity of Qiuluo City.

The place they are going to is called Taiheibo. Shigure said that it is a gathering place for vendors outside the city, where you can buy fresh fruits and vegetables. There are also fixed stalls in fish and meat shops, so Taiheibo can be regarded as selling these goods. It is a relatively formal area and is under the supervision of dedicated personnel. It is much better than the street stalls in every aspect.

Similar to Taipingfang, there are several other markets in Qiuluo City. Although their functions are different from Taipingfang, they mostly include food, drink and entertainment, and each market performs its own duties.

Chengyifang on the other side of the East City has many wine shops and restaurants, and there is no wine shop in the East City. It is just an unknown shop. Going further north, Changlefang, not far from Chengyifang, is adjacent to Luoshui, and is the entire Qiuluo City. One of the most prosperous places.

There are smoke-willow painted bridges and wind curtains and green curtains, making it a good place to have fun and listen to music. Along the Luoshui River, there are also famous gold-selling caves in Qiuluo City, and there are many romantic places.

Speaking of romantic places, Shigure seemed to be very interested, so he smiled and said, "I have been to the Red Sleeve Building there before, and the sisters in the building are all very beautiful!"

Shen Kuang naturally knew where the Hongxiu Building was as soon as he heard it, but he was a little curious after hearing what Shi Yu said. "What did you do there? Did you go with Senior Han?"

Shigure naturally listened to the underlying meaning of his words, then blushed and shook his head. "Brother Shen, where did you think you were? Shigure went there by himself. There are several sisters in the building.

(This chapter is not finished, please turn the page)

When my sister got sick, she found the master. But it was not convenient for them to come over, so the master asked me to go over and treat them. Later, if someone else got sick in the building, they would send someone to come to me, so I would go back and forth with them as soon as possible.

We’re getting acquainted! Although my sisters are prostitutes, they are all kind-hearted, and they are also hard-working people. They just don’t have such good luck as me!”

Shigure's kindness is innate, so even when she talks about those prostitutes, she doesn't look down on them at all. When she talks about them, she just feels a little pity, and there is no distinction between high and low.

Of course, there is no such worry and sentimentality in Changlefang. The singing and dancing, and the swaying lights are filled with the sentimentality and charm of the world of mortals.

Taipingfang is located in the west of the city, and they passed through half of Qiuluo City. The place was in good order, probably planned, so the stalls and vendors were all arranged in an orderly manner, and there was no unpleasant smell along the way.

There weren't many things Shigure needed to buy, just some ingredients that he used on daily basis. After walking around, he basically bought everything.

After leaving Taipingfang, Shigure took him to Dama Street. Speaking of Dama Street, she showed her quirky smile again.

Dama Street is mostly filled with business travelers traveling from south to north, some from the Liang Kingdom in the south, some from the north, and even caravans from the Western Regions. The prosperity of Qiuluo City makes them willing to take huge risks, because this

The money earned during this trip is equivalent to their annual income.

In the era of separatist rule, there was no shortage of people who could lick blood from the tip of a knife. Caravans were often willing to hire some escort agencies to escort them. Although the price was high, it could keep their lives safe.

In the past in Meiwu City, Shen Kuang had never seen people from the Western Regions. Now it was quite strange to see people from the Western Regions on Dama Street. The appearance of the Western Regions people was very different from that of the Wei people. Most of the men had straight noses and sharp edges.

.However, many of those women were beautiful and wore cool clothes. Shigure was a little shy for a while and did not dare to look at them.

Although she had also seen the sisters from the Red Sleeve Building wearing them, she still couldn't accept wearing them like this on the street in broad daylight. After staying in Qiuluo City for a long time, she saw a lot of people coming and going. In fact, she

I'm not that sensitive, but I'm not that bold because of my daughter's family.

The young man looked at him a few times along the way. Although he was a little shy, he didn't lower his head like Shigure.

There are not many types of goods sold by people from the Western Regions, they are all furs, medicinal materials and the like. The reason why Shigure came here is for those medicinal materials. When talking about medicinal materials, she couldn't hold back her chatterbox. Shigure muttered.

It can be said that although they are all the same medicinal materials, their medicinal effects can be very different from different places of origin.

The most indispensable thing on Dama Street is strange objects and strange people. Shigure was currently selecting medicinal materials in a shop owned by a Westerner. There was a slovenly old man in front of the shop who also set up a stall. Look at the old man.

He must also be from the Wei Dynasty. The old man's stall has a variety of miscellaneous things, some of them are complete, but most of them are defective products.

When Shen Kuang walked to the stall, the old man was squinting to himself, as if he was asleep. He leaned down and looked at the things on the stall. There were martial arts secret books, long swords, and even something like that. There is also a treasure key, and it’s hard to tell the real thing from the fake one for a while.

After looking through it, he felt that except for the old man who was somewhat interesting, the rest of the things were of little use.
