Obsession [Quick Transmigration]

A miracle doctor came to the dilapidated small pharmacy at the South City Gate. He was not very old, but his medical skills were really good.

——Hagi Castle Chronicle

Duan Xu looked at Jiang Mu who was treating patients through the bamboo curtain. This man was very strange. He was still wearing a simple black robe as a doctor, and he often had a cold face. Nothing can affect his mind.

But this posture gives people a particularly reliable feeling.

He looked at the situation inside, guessing that he would not be able to get out for a while, and dusted the clean counter again in boredom.

There is a lot of rain in Hagi City, and there was heavy rain in the sky early in the morning, and the time caught up with the festive season, so there were very few patients coming today, and there was no business in the pharmacy.

Duan Xu was leaning against the counter, the faint scent of medicine in the room lingered on the tip of his nose, the raindrops were dripping outside, and there was a coolness from the door, suddenly seemed to be dreaming for some reason, and everything became unreal.

Who would have thought that the person who used to lie down on the dilapidated street waiting to die would now be a pharmacy clerk alive and kicking, without the torment of illness, without the pursuit of sinister people, with clothes to wear and food to eat, the fate is really wonderful .

"Grab the medicine."

A cold voice suddenly sounded, Duan Xu came back to his senses suddenly, and found that Jiang Mu had brought someone out at some point, his deep eyes swept over him, and the hand holding the feather duster trembled unconsciously, it was so cold.

Seeing him still in shock, Jiang Mu led others to look at him: "What do you think?"

Jiang Mu's speech is always calm, without emotional ups and downs, and his voice is not high-pitched. With that pale face, it is difficult for people to guess his thoughts.

Duan Xu shook his head, reached out to take the prescription, and said, "It's nothing."

He didn't know anything about medicine, but it was no problem to grab the medicine, and quickly packed the medicine according to the prescription.

Jiang Mu was sitting on a chair, and next to him was a man with a swollen face, dark skin, very burly, in stark contrast to him.

This person is the head catcher of Hagi City, his surname is Liu, he doesn't look very talkative, but he is quite gentle.

Duan Xu bundled up the medicine and handed it to him. Liu Butou thanked him and left. It was a little strange that the other party looked him up with some doubts before leaving.

The patient has left, and the pharmacy is empty again.

Jiang Mu got up and planned to go back to the back room to rest, but just turned around when the people behind stopped him.

"What's the matter?"

Duan Xu opened his mouth, met those eyes, and suddenly didn't know what to say.

Seeing his hesitation, Jiang Mu asked, "Because Liu catches the head?"

"Yes," Duan Xu nodded slightly hesitantly, "I...you should know that my reputation is not very good."

He confided this matter on the second day after he came back with Jiang Mu, but Jiang Mu didn't respond at that time, and there were a lot of things to buy, so the topic stopped before it could go any further.

"That kind of thing, don't care."

Jiang Mu picked up the account book on the counter, comforted him without emotion, and turned to the back room.

Duan Xu followed behind and scratched his head: "You can't say that, it's best to be careful, if someone finds out, it might hurt you, my lord."

Jiang Mu said suddenly: "Are there many people who know what you look like?"

"That's not true," Duan Xu answered, but said again worriedly, "But the name is always known by many people."

Jiang Mu nodded: "Then you should be called Jiang Xu from now on."

There was still no tone, but it revealed an attitude that could not be refuted.

"..." Duan Xu pursed his lips, "It's not impossible."

Jiang Mu glanced at the feather duster: "That's fine. In addition, the counter is very clean, and there is no need to dust it again and again. If you can't stay idle, go and check whether the medicinal materials are empty."

"Oh, got it."

Duan Xu hid the duster behind his back, and nodded blankly.

Mo Yue arrived at noon, and the rain outside was getting heavier and heavier. Duan Xu was sitting in front of the counter eating, and two people came in from the door.

One tall and one short, both are thin.

Duan Xu looked at them uncertainly and asked, "... Shopkeeper Shang?"

The person who came was Shopkeeper Shang who sold calligraphy and painting on the street, not far from their shop, but it was raining too much outside, the two looked very embarrassed and didn't recognize it for a while.

Shopkeeper Shang forced a smile at him, the hem of his clothes was already wet, Duan Xu asked them to sit down, and at the same time went to get a clean cloth to wipe them off.

"Is Doctor Jiang there?" He asked.

Duan Xu nodded: "Yes, shopkeeper Shang is not feeling well. The weather is the most prone to wind and cold now."

Shopkeeper Shang shook his head: "I'm fine, it's Xuan'er."

Duan Xu glanced at the sallow-faced young man next to him, and said to shopkeeper Shang, "I'm going to ask you to come out now, don't worry."

"It's your job."

Before Duan Xu could reach the back room, Jiang Mu suddenly appeared in front of him, he was stunned and couldn't help taking two steps back, with lingering fear in his heart.

This person is always like this, appearing like a ghost, those who know know that his martial arts are excellent, and walk without making a sound, those who don't know think he is a ghost.

But even so, Duan Xu couldn't help complaining: "Why do you make no sound when you walk?"

Scaring people can scare people to death.

Jiang Mu glanced at him lightly, ignoring him.

Seeing him coming out, shopkeeper Shang hurriedly pulled the young man to his feet.

"Doctor Jiang."

Jiang Mu nodded slightly, paused when his eyes swept over Shang Xuan, and asked, "What's uncomfortable?"

Shang Xuan was originally in a trance, but when he heard these words, he seemed to be shocked suddenly, and his face turned rosy instantly.

Shopkeeper Shang took the call for him: "I can't say I'm uncomfortable, I just feel that this child has no energy, and he's always listless during this time."

After Duan Xu heard this, he also looked at Shang Xuan, but he couldn't see anything, he only felt that the young man's complexion was ugly and his spirit was listless.

"Sit down," Jiang Mu waved his hands at them, "I'll take Mr. Shang's pulse first."

Shang Xuan is [-] years old this year and is a student of Hongshan Academy. To be honest, he didn’t feel that there was anything wrong with him. Although he was a little tired physically, he thought it was due to his heavy studies some time ago. He could just rest for two days. There was nothing wrong with him. What my father said was so exaggerated.

Jiang Mu's fingertips pressed on his pulse, the room was very quiet, only the sound of the rain outside, and Shang Xuan felt that the pressed wrist was icy cold.

Shopkeeper Shang at the side asked: "Doctor Jiang, Xuan'er..."

Jiang Mu put away his hands: "Mr. Shang is fine, just tired, rest for a few days and he will be fine. I will prescribe a few prescriptions to soothe the nerves, and you will be fine after drinking it when you go back."

"Look, father," Shang Xuan breathed a sigh of relief and couldn't help complaining to shopkeeper Shang, "I just said that I'm fine, and you made a big fuss."

Shopkeeper Shang smiled wryly: "It's fine if you have nothing to do, but you have to see a doctor before you can rest assured."

He said so, but his expression seemed to be unspeakable, and he was not relieved at all.

Shang Xuan on the side didn't notice this, and he picked up the umbrella next to him when he felt that there was no problem: "Since there is nothing wrong, I will go first, the schoolwork has not been completed yet, and it will be handed in the day after tomorrow."

Shopkeeper Shang nodded: "Alright, you can go back first."

Originally, this was a very common thing, Duan Xu had already returned to the counter and waited for Jiang Mu to prescribe the medicine, but when Shang Xuan left with an umbrella, the face of shopkeeper Shang suddenly collapsed.

"Doctor Jiang, I think Xuan'er may be bewitched."

It was windy and windy outside and a gust of cold wind swept in. An indescribable coolness made Duan Xu shiver, but Jiang Mu inside the house remained unchanged.

What does this mean?

Shopkeeper Shang frowned slightly: "I don't know if it's right to say this, but Xuan'er's behavior during this time is particularly strange."

"for example?"

"The most obvious ones are probably being absent-minded, often in a daze, sitting there motionless, and always talking nonsense."

Duan Xu interrupted: "What nonsense?"

Shopkeeper Shang shook his head: "I can't hear clearly, it just feels like I'm talking to an invisible person."

This metaphor is very meaningful, Duan Xu thought about that scene, and felt a little uncomfortable.

"Have you seen it?"

Shopkeeper Shang slightly nodded his head: "Xuan'er was in poor spirits in those few days. I always wanted to take him to see a doctor, but he always said that he didn't have a good rest. One night, I was really worried, so I went to his room to prepare Look at him, but as soon as I walked to the door, I heard Xuan'er talking in the room. It was already dark at that time, and I was puzzled, and I didn't want to go in directly, so I went around the window and wanted to look in through the crack of the window Condition."

"Through the gap, I saw Xuan'er sitting in front of a mirror with his back facing, muttering something in his mouth. I couldn't make out what those words were, but it looked like he was talking to someone."

"Talk to the mirror in the middle of the night?" Duan Xu touched his arm, a little puzzled.

Shopkeeper Shang was also helpless, with worries in his eyes.

"What about the follow-up?" Duan Xu asked.

"Follow-up..." Shopkeeper Shang sighed deeply, "I really wanted to hear what Xuan'er was saying, so I continued to peek through the gap, and finally I really heard what he said."

"What did he say?"

"Xuan'er said, what are you going to tell me?"

"Huh? 'You'?"

"I was also very surprised, so I looked inside hard, wondering who 'you' was?, but at this moment, Xuan'er suddenly turned around and met my eyes!"

He said the last sentence so strongly that Duan Xu was taken aback. This scene, even thinking about it, was horrifying.

"You don't know, he stared straight at me outside the window that night, and said in a cold and sharp tone that someone was outside the window."

Shopkeeper Shang couldn't describe that feeling, even now when he narrated it, he felt cold sweat all over his body, he only remembered that he covered his mouth tightly in a panic that night, trying to suppress the desire to scream in his throat, he He could even clearly hear his heart beating like he was beating a drum.

And Shang Xuan in the room quickly turned his head back, and said to the mirror: "Liar, there is no one outside the window."

Some words were whispered in the back, but unfortunately he could no longer hear them.

In the small pharmacy, while the shopkeeper was talking, the look of Shang Xuan turning his head flashed in his mind all the time, that gaze was very cold, straight like a poisonous snake, and like a wraith.

"Doctor Jiang, you said..."

Jiang Mu patted Shopkeeper Shang's shoulder lightly with one hand: "It's nothing, you are worrying too much."

Shopkeeper Shang thought for a while and looked at him again. Those deep and calm eyes can indeed bring people a sense of peace of mind at times. The big rock he was holding in his heart was slowly put down: "Maybe it's true. It's because I thought too much, Xuan'er's mother passed away early, and I don't know how to take care of children as a man, so it may cause chaos if I care about it."

Jiang Mu didn't answer, took out a piece of rice paper from the counter, and wrote the prescription as usual.

The pharmacy was quiet, Duan Xu comforted Shopkeeper Shang for him: "Don't worry, Master Ling will be fine."

After Jiang Mu finished writing, he glanced at him lightly: "Jiang Xu, grab the medicine for Shopkeeper Shang."

"Huh?" Duan Xu didn't realize it all at once, and only remembered when he met Jiang Mu's gaze that this young master had already changed his name domineeringly.

Forget it, Jiang Xu will be Jiang Xu.

After Shopkeeper Shang said what he had kept in his heart, he actually felt a lot better. Hearing Jiang Mu call Duan Xu like this, he was a little puzzled and asked, "Isn't this little brother surnamed Duan?"

He actually doesn't know Duan Xu's real name. To be precise, no one in Hagi City knows his name, they just know his surname Duan, and they call him "Brother Duan" on weekdays.

Jiang Mu didn't even raise his eyelids, and said nonsense: "There is no way to repay the grace of saving life. He plans to follow my surname in the future and stay by my side. He might as well give him a new name. Jiang Xu is always better than 'Brother Duan'. Not so perfunctory."

Duan Xu: ...there is nothing wrong with what you said, but the more you listen to it, the more awkward it becomes.

Shopkeeper Shang immediately understood that Jiang Mu's medical skills were recognized by Hagi City, to some extent it was because of Duan Xu, who didn't know that three months ago, a young man in black robes brought a seriously injured and chronically ill beggar He opened a pharmacy, and within five days he cured the beggar from his serious illness, and that beggar was Duan Xu.

"What word is in that name?"

"Above the river and sea, the sun rises in the east."

Shopkeeper Shang's eyes flashed with admiration: "Good name, good meaning."

Jiang Mu turned to Duan Xu and said, "What do you think?"

Duan Xu on the other end put on a sullen face, quickly wrapped up the medicine and handed it to shopkeeper Shang, not intending to pick up the topic.

He didn't speak until he left.

"Young Master, do you think the guess that shopkeeper Shang said is true?"

"Believe or not. Believe it or not."

"Then do you believe it?" Duan Xu asked back.

Jiang Mu also learned to ask back: "What about you, do you like it, Jiang Xu?"

Duan Xu pursed his lips: "Why did you save me before?"

Jiang Mu looked at him and didn't answer, the latter was a little aggrieved: "I regard you as a lifesaver, but you just want to use me as a signboard."

Jiang Mu suddenly smiled helplessly.

"That's what you think it is."

As he spoke, his expression was still indifferent, but on the fingertips of his right hand hanging under the sleeve, there was a trace of black air lingering, which was something pulled out of Shang Xuan's body.
