Chapter 54 Buying medicine (please give me a monthly ticket and a recommendation ticket)
It was more than half an hour after I arrived at the ancient street that Lao Chen mentioned.
This is a dilapidated and vicissitudes of street, with a sense of age at first glance.
The ground is not a cement floor, but is paved with bluestone slabs, which are mottled and full of cracks.
The streets are lined with locust trees.
Judging by how thick the tree trunks are, you can tell that these locust trees are quite old.
And because the locust tree branches are lush and leafy, they block the sunlight during the day, and even the moonlight and starlight are invisible at night. The whole street looks dark and gloomy, and looks gloomy.
It was almost three o'clock in the morning, and this old street was deserted. Except for the night wind blowing by and the rustling of leaves, there was nothing else.
He Wenzhi narrowed his eyes, always feeling that there was something hidden in this street, which vaguely made him feel a little frightened.
It seems to be a terrifying existence.
"It's just that I haven't seen this street before?" He Wenzhi was a little confused.
After all, he was born and raised in Chun City. He searched through the memories in his mind but knew nothing about it.
He remembered that according to some folk rumors, it seemed that the locust tree always liked to associate the locust tree with unclean things such as ghosts.
In this case, how come this street is full of locust trees?
This world is not the earth of the previous life. Those things really exist in this world, so how come there is such a street full of locust trees?
"Did you deliberately attract ghosts?" He Wenzhi was thinking.
He looked forward again.
There is another shop with lights on deep in this ancient street, and there is also a dilapidated street lamp at the door that emits dim light.
A man squatted under a street lamp, with a brazier in front of him.
While burning the paper money, he threw some more paper money into the air, and was mumbling something in his mouth, looking like he was blabbering.
Through the dim light of the street lights, you can see that this is a very strong man.
He has a rough face, with fat cheeks, a pair of eyes like copper bells, and a powerful look. He has an unkempt beard and sideburns, making him look a bit unkempt.
At first glance, it feels a bit like Zhang Yide from Yan.
I don’t know why, but He Wenzhi inexplicably remembered the emoticon from his previous life, and a voice suddenly popped up in his mind: "Brother!" 】.
At this moment, a gust of dark wind blew in the face, picking up paper money flying all over the sky.
The man also turned to look, and after seeing the two of them, he stood up.
“Brother!”
“Pfft!” He Wenzhi almost spit out a mouthful of old blood.
You are really shouting!
Captain Chen was stunned and looked up at He Wenzhi who was helping him push his wheelchair: "Ask, what's wrong with you?"
"Ahem, it's okay, I choked on my saliva." He Wenzhi shook his head.
At this moment, the man shouted again: "Brother! There is a guest!"
"Shh."
An elegant middle-aged man came from the shop The voice of a young man: "Please keep your voice down. Don’t disturb the neighbors’ rest in the middle of the night.”
“It’s harmful!” The man didn’t care at all and said carelessly, “Brother, what are you talking about? How can our neighbors sleep at night?” >
With that said, the man walked towards He Wenzhi in a swaggering manner.
When the distance was close, the man was stunned.
"Old Chen?"
"Hello, Senior Chen, it's me..."
"How did you become such a virtuous person? Not only was your leg lame, but you also It’s wrapped like this, like a sandbag, I didn’t even recognize it just now”
Lao Chen: "..."
What is this kind of virtue?
"Who is this...?" The man looked at He Wenzhi and asked.
"This is my friend." Lao Chen replied.
"Since we are friends, let's come in and talk." The man waved his hand.
The three of them entered the shop.
He Wenzhi looked around. As soon as he walked on the road, he smelled the slightest scent of medicine. Now when he came in and saw, it was indeed a medicine shop.
The interior of the drug store is antique and filled with a strong sense of time. In this day and age, such drug stores are really rare.
At the counter, a middle-aged man wearing a black robe and black-rimmed round glasses with a scholarly air was taking medicine.
It’s just that these medicinal materials all seem a bit strange, and none of them are familiar.
"Hello, Senior Li." Old Chen said respectfully.
The middle-aged man who took the medicine looked up, first nodded to Lao Chen, and then looked at He Wenzhi.
"Li Ziru, what do you call me?" He was very polite.
"My name is He Wenzhi. Hello, senior." He Wenzhi introduced himself politely.
Li Ziru nodded and looked at Old Chen: "Captain Chen, why did you visit late at night?"
"It's okay, I just came here to take a look..." Lao Chen looked very reserved.
"Oh, then you can just take a look for yourself, I won't entertain you." Li Ziru said, and continued to lower his head to grab the medicine.
I don’t seem to care much.
He Wenzhi: "..."
You said you would bring me here, but you just took a look around?
Lao Chen raised his head and glanced at him, his face full of helplessness. I don't dare to be presumptuous in front of seniors.
He Wenzhi winked at him, then you brought me here to hammer? I might as well go out and hunt for ghosts myself and have some fun.
At this moment, a dark wind suddenly blew outside the shop, and the paper money from before was blown back.
Outside the dark and empty ancient street, there was no one in silence.
Under the dim street light, the gray-white paper ashes in the brazier were also rolled up and spinning in circles in the air.
At this moment, a dark shadow slowly emerged and came closer.
It was only then that I discovered that this was a man, who looked to be about forty or fifty years old. He was wearing clothes from a previous era, which seemed a bit out of place today.
His face was pale, without any blood, and he looked very weak, but his steps were not slow, and he looked smooth and fast.
Just by looking carefully, you can see that he seems to be walking, but the soles of his feet are not touching the ground at all.
When He Wenzhi saw this, his eyes narrowed. This was not a human, but a ghost!
Just when he was about to make a move, Captain Chen held down his hand and shook his head at him.
"Wenzhi, there are two seniors here, don't be impulsive."
He Wenzhi glanced at him and held back for now.
I saw the man coming very lightly, not slow at all, and followed him into the store.
"Doctor Li, I'm here to get the medicine."
"Okay." Li Ziru nodded. He didn't ask what the other person's condition was or what he needed. Instead, he opened the medicine drawers and started taking medicine.
He moved skillfully and quickly grabbed a bunch of medicinal materials.
"It's still the same prescription. You should pay more attention to it on weekdays."
"Thank you, Dr. Li." The man took the medicine bag and thanked him.
At the same time, he also started paying.
Looking at the banknotes in this man's hand, He Wenzhi was stunned.
This is real money, not paper money, ghost coins, the Bank of Heaven and Earth, etc. This is the money that living people usually use!
He Wenzhi blinked and recalled the walking corpse.
It was the woman in the pink skirt who he blackmailed for thousands of dollars and still refused to let her sleep with her.
She is also rich and cares about money.
Do ghosts really need to live on the money of these living people?
Then what’s the point of burning those paper money?
Moreover, this person...no, it's this ghost. Why did he come to get medicine?
He is a ghost, does he need to take medicine?
Seeing this ghost carrying the medicine bag floating out of the door like this, He Wenzhi was filled with doubts.
At this moment, the ghost raised his head slightly and met He Wenzhi's eyes.
Pop!
The medicine bag fell to the ground instantly. The ghost's eyes were wide open, full of fear, and even his soul was trembling uncontrollably.
I saw him trembling and retreating step by step. He stretched out a finger to ask He Zhi with a look of horror on his face, as if he had seen some terrible existence.
"You, you, you! Why are you here...!?"
He immediately wailed and ran towards Li Ziru.
"Doctor Li, save me...I, I don't want to die..." His voice was miserable, and his liver and gallbladder were broken.
Looking at this frightened and pitiful male ghost, everyone's eyes turned to He Wenzhi.
The rough and arrogant Senior Chen also stared with big copper bell-like eyes and asked: "Good boy, what did you do to this ghost!"
He asked: "? ?”
What did I do?
I just looked at him a few times!
Asking for monthly tickets, recommending votes, collecting, investing, adding to book list, all kinds of requests!
