Travel through ancient times and become a great hero
Chapter 5 Going to town
Charlotte didn't turn around, but listened to the voices behind him. He heard two people say, "Brother, should we take him back or get rid of him?"
"Once we get to the cave, take care of it."
Charlotte then ran quickly towards the cave. When she reached the cave entrance, she entered the space. After a while, she saw several men in black carrying a man to the cave entrance.
They put the man to one side of the cave and did not attack him right away, but started picking up firewood.
They probably didn't eat after chasing someone and were hungry. They put the steamed buns on the firewood and roasted them. "Brother, do you think we made a profit on this mission? Ten thousand taels of silver," a man in black said to the leader.
"After eating, quickly deal with it and cut off the head to see the master."
"Okay."
Charlotte listened carefully. This person is an important person, worth ten thousand taels?
Seeing that no one was looking behind her, Charlotte waved her hand and led the person into the space. Then she walked quietly back home. She took the pheasant out of the space and prepared to make chicken soup for the children in the evening.
When the men in black finished eating and were ready to leave, they discovered that the man was gone.
"Brother, it's bad, the person is missing."
"What?" The leader in black was stunned.
They are martial arts masters. They were nearby, but no one heard any noise. How could they disappear inexplicably?
"Find it for me quickly. If we can't find it, we will all die." The leader was sweating with anxiety.
The men in black began to search the mountain in an overwhelming manner.
Charlotte arranged for the children to stay at Zhuzi's house. Carrying a backpack, she prepared to go to town. She didn't dare to spend the fifty taels of silver. She had to sell the Ganoderma lucidum to make a smooth journey.
Because we stayed in the mountains for a long time, the oxcart in the village had already left, so we had to walk to the town.
When you feel thirsty on the way, drink some spiritual spring water, which greatly increases your strength.
This was Charlotte's second time in town. The first time was when the original owner's father wanted to sell her to Yihongyuan, and she took the opportunity to run away.
Charlotte saw someone selling candied haws on the roadside, bought five strings, walked to an empty alley, and put them in the space. She would go back and give them to the children as a snack.
I walked two blocks before I saw the sign of Renjitang.
Went in.
"Where did you come from, country woman? Get out quickly. This is a pharmacy. Go beg on the street." The waiter drove Charlotte away impatiently.
"You look down on people with your eyes. Which eye of yours sees me as a beggar?"
Charlotte said angrily.
"You bitch, how dare you call me a dog?" The waiter was so angry that he walked out of the counter and was about to hit the man.
Charlotte thought that this pharmacy would not sell them good medicinal materials even if it had them. If they did business like this, it would fail sooner or later.
So he said, "I'm here to sell medicinal herbs, not to please you. Since you don't want to buy them, then forget it." So he prepared to go to another shop. There were three shops in the town, and he didn't believe that any of them would have the same attitude as them.
"Miss, do you have any good medicinal herbs? We'll buy them for you." The shopkeeper came out of the main room when he heard it.
Charlotte wanted to annoy them, so he took out a piece of Ganoderma lucidum from the backpack and showed it to the shopkeeper. "This is it. But I won't sell it to you." He turned and left.
The moment the shopkeeper saw the Ganoderma, his eyes lit up. It was of such good quality, it was red Ganoderma, and he could make a lot of money if he resold it. But the shopkeeper refused to sell it.
So he scolded the waiter, "How many times have I told you not to look down on others? Now, the money you got is gone."
As for Charlotte, she went to Pushantang Pharmacy. After the last setback, she went directly to the shopkeeper this time.
"Little Brother, is your shopkeeper here?"
"Hello, young lady, what can you do for our boss?" the waiter asked enthusiastically.
"Excuse me, do you buy medicinal herbs? I have some good herbs for the shopkeeper to review." Seeing that the waiter was gentle, Charlotte told the truth.
"Girl, wait a moment, I'll go find the shopkeeper."
After a while, the shopkeeper came over.
"Young lady, are you here to sell medicinal herbs?" The shopkeeper was in his forties and looked very kind.
"Yes, I picked them from the mountain this morning. They are very fresh." Charlotte took out a piece of Ganoderma lucidum wrapped in rags from the backpack and showed it to the shopkeeper.
"This is red Ganoderma lucidum. It's of good quality. It may be hundreds of years old. It's rare." The shopkeeper's eyes lit up.
"Miss, how much silver do you want for this Ganoderma lucidum?" The shopkeeper asked Charlotte the price first.
"I looked at the prices of several shops, but I was not satisfied with any of them. If the shopkeeper can give me a good price, I will make a move. If the price is not suitable, I will take it back and wait for a suitable opportunity."
The shopkeeper was a shrewd person. He asked Charlotte to bid, but Charlotte didn't even know how much the Ganoderma lucidum cost, or how much a bun cost.
The two of them were guessing each other, and the shopkeeper had no choice but to say, "Well, this red Ganoderma is really a good product, so don't sell it to anyone else. I'll give you the highest price, how about three thousand five hundred taels of silver?"
"Five thousand taels, no bargaining." Charlotte heard that it was a rare treasure. If it was in the previous life, it would be more than this.
"Four thousand eight hundred taels. No bargaining." The shopkeeper tried again.
"Just five thousand taels, no bargaining." Charlotte accepted the offer without hesitation.
"Okay, I really like this product, so I'll give it five thousand taels." The shopkeeper saw that he couldn't lower the price, and was afraid that Charlotte would not sell it to him. He didn't fight for it, and the price was worth it.
"Change them all into silver notes for me." Silver notes are easier to take, but if you take silver, it will be too conspicuous.
After collecting the banknotes, Charlotte asked the shopkeeper, "In addition to buying medicinal materials, do you also provide medical treatment for the people?"
"We have doctors, and all patients are treated."
"Look, there's a door over there. You can go in through there and see a doctor."
It seems that the drug store and the clinic are connected.
"The clinic and the drug store have the same owner?"
"Yes, our boss is in Kyoto. He doesn't come here very often. I'm the shopkeeper here. If you need anything, you can tell me."
"My family has a long tradition of practicing Chinese medicine, and I know a little bit about medicine, so I wanted to ask if you would accept herbal medicine?"
"Ready-made medicine? I wonder what the ready-made medicine you're talking about can treat?" The shopkeeper was very curious.
"How about this, we go to the clinic and check on the patients. If there are patients that can be cured by the pills, we can try them on the spot and find out."
"Girl, follow me." The shopkeeper also wanted to see how magical this pill was.
When we arrived at the clinic, we saw quite a few patients.
The shopkeeper whispered a few words to the medicine boy, then took a piece of paper and looked at it carefully.
"Girl, what kind of disease does your pill treat? I have eight types of patients waiting to be treated."
"It can be used for cough, expectoration, hemostasis, urinary incontinence, and heat-clearing and detoxification." Charlotte wanted to say there were several more. Don't say more, if you say too much, you will think this pill can cure all diseases.
"Ding Dafu." the shopkeeper shouted.
"Girl, Ding Dafu has a cough and phlegm for more than three months. He has been taking Chinese medicine but it hasn't gotten better. Can you see if he can take your pills to treat it?"
"Cough, cough, cough. If you can cure my cough, I will give you a hundred taels of silver as a thank you."
"Take my pills and make sure to take them for seven days. Can you stick to it?" This was Charlotte's first time trying pills, so it was better to be conservative. Otherwise, the pills would only work in three days.
"As long as it can be cured, I can take it for a month." Ding Dafu is a silk merchant. He often does business with foreigners and has taken a lot of Western medicine. It relieves the cough, but the cough becomes more and more severe. He is afraid and thinks that Chinese medicine is more reliable.
