Little lucky girl with supernatural powers in the farm, becomes rich in business and raises cubs

Chapter 15 Mystery in the Pharmacy (4)

The cloth bag that Zhang Fengling was holding was the dregs left after decocting medicine for Zhang Dingo today.

Old man Cen poured out the medicine dregs and spread them out for careful examination.Distinguish everything and gather them together, estimate the weight before decoction according to the quantity, and judge that there are no mistakes or omissions in the medicinal materials, then pick them out and put them aside.

Musk, Coptis chinensis, Bletilla striata, Galla chinensis... Old man Cen's eyebrows became tighter and tighter. There is no problem with these medicinal materials, and they are indeed taken according to the weight written in his pharmacy. What is the problem?
Xiaoruo, who had been watching old man Cen to check the medicine dregs, suddenly pointed at one of the medicines and asked, "Doctor Cen, is this a centipede?"

"It's indeed a centipede. Dried centipede can dispel wind and calm shock, attack poison and dissipate stagnation, and it is also an important medicinal material in my prescription."

"Dried centipede?" Xiao Ruo has a powerful fire element, and can easily control the size and temperature of fire. Therefore, in her previous life, she often helped old Chinese medicine practitioners process roasted medicinal materials in the base.The group of old Chinese doctors also joked that Xiao Ruo was a small alchemy furnace, the kind used by the Taishang Laojun.

It is also because of the processing of more medicinal materials, she can easily tell whether the processing of medicinal materials has reached the standard for use.

After all, there are many medicinal materials in traditional Chinese medicine that need to be roasted to reduce toxicity, correct odor and taste, and facilitate crushing and storage.Only when the roasting reaches the standard can the medicinal materials play their due role.

Just like this centipede.

The dried centipede after treatment can relieve wind and spasm, dredge collaterals and relieve pain, attack poison and dissipate stagnation, it is a very useful medicinal material.Untreated centipedes contain toxins.

"I don't think it looks like a dried centipede, but rather like a living body directly used as medicine."

As soon as this remark came out, everyone was in an uproar.Centipede is one of the five poisons, very poisonous, which is well known.

Old man Cen picked up a section of centipede and put it in front of his eyes to observe carefully, it was indeed the body of a living centipede!

Although the dried centipede will be rehydrated to a certain extent after being decocted with water, it is difficult for ordinary people to distinguish the difference between the two, but old man Cen has been a pharmacist for decades, and he can be sure that the centipede in this medicine dregs is by no means The dried centipede called for in his prescription.

"Hmph! Mr. Zhang is just looking for my old man to be happy. My prescription states that dried centipede is 5 yuan, but you use live centipede instead!"

Old man Cen threw the remnant of the centipede onto Zhang Fengling and spat.

"There's something wrong with eating right now, so blame me again!"

"Live...live centipede?!" Zhang Fengling was frightened when he heard these three words.

After the prescription was obtained, it was handed over to Uncle Sun, the chief housekeeper of Zhang's mansion, for safekeeping. Uncle Sun went to fetch the medicine himself, and handed over the prepared medicine to the servant in Zhang Dingo's room for decoction.

Uncle Sun and the boy have both worked in his house for many years, and nothing has happened to them. How could there be a poisonous live centipede used in medicine instead of dried centipede?
The bustle in the Tzu Chi Hall, the crowd outside all stretched their necks to look in, lest they miss the wonderful things, and gossip and discuss this matter with others in the future.

Only one person was stepping back, trying to squeeze out of the crowd.

Xiaoruo could tell at a glance that there was something abnormal about the person who was retreating.

This person was wearing a long gown, a cloth jacket, a square scarf and a narrow-brimmed hat, and was carrying a small, bulging black package in his hand.The brim of his hat was pulled down so low that it almost covered half of his face, which was pale and had a goatee that didn't match his figure.

"Stop!" Xiaoruo shouted at him.

Instead of stopping, the man vigorously pushed the crowd away and ran out.

"Catch him quickly! He must have something to do with this!"

After being called out by Xiaoruo, Zhang Fengling also came back to his senses, and quickly ordered Chu's servant to catch this person back.

The four servants rested for a while, and now the burning pain in their hands subsided. They were standing by the wall to check each other's arms. After hearing the master's order, they immediately flew towards the person the master was pointing at.

The four of them were cooks before they became members of the Zhang family, and they had nimble legs and strong bodies. The one who fled in a hurry was a slender bamboo pole, and within a few steps, they were overtaken by the four of them, and they all fell under them.

The four twisted his hands back into the Tzu Chi Hall, and pulled back his kerchief hat to reveal his face.

Seeing that familiar face, Zhang Fengling exclaimed, "Miraculous doctor Jin! Why are you here?"

The thin bamboo pole who was called the golden doctor did not answer, but twisted his arms desperately to break free.

"I'm afraid that this golden doctor knows the ins and outs of the centipede best, and this poisonous centipede has probably something to do with him." Xiao Ruo said loudly.

This is the same as the murderer's mentality of returning to the scene of the crime to appreciate his masterpiece. He spent a lot of time replacing the poisonous centipede with the dry centipede, poisoning Mr. Zhang, just to make Zhang Fengling mistakenly believe that it was old man Cen's problem, and went to find him. Old man Cen's trouble.

Then how could he miss this trouble-seeking scene?

"You're talking nonsense! You're talking nonsense!" The thin bamboo pole twisted even more crazily, with resentment on his face. "What evidence do you have that I replaced the centipede!"

"I didn't say it was you who replaced the centipede. Besides, we were just discussing that the dried centipede in the prescription was replaced by a live centipede. Where did it mention that someone deliberately stole the matter?"

Thin bamboo pole's face became paler and paler, until finally his face was as golden as paper, and his whole body trembled like sifting chaff.

Zhang Fengling could also see that the golden doctor's expression was wrong, and he didn't have the sense of being detached from the fairy spirit before.

This golden genius doctor was the most famous one among the doctors in more than a dozen counties that Zhang Fengling had sought.

After he was invited to Zhang's mansion, he watched and asked Zhang Dingo for a few days. He used Shiquan Dabu Pill and Jiutian Huihun Pill, and the medical expenses were spent like running water.But Zhang Dingge didn't get better at all, and continued to live on the hundred-year-old ginseng soup that he barely poured in every day, waiting for the genius doctor to come up with a better prescription.

Doctor Jin can wait, but Zhang Fengling and Mrs. Zhang can't wait. Seeing their only precious son with sunken cheeks, moaning in pain every day, they are heartbroken.

Uncle Sun accidentally mentioned to Zhang Fengling that there is a Doctor Cen in the town. I heard that his Tzu Chi Church has been in operation for decades, and no one has ever made mistakes in his hands. Anyway, even the county doctor can't do anything now, or Just go to this old man Cen and try.

Zhang Fengling also has no other way, the dwarf is taller, let's treat a dead horse as a living horse doctor.Only then did all the doctors invited by the county go to the old man Cen for medical treatment.

"I see that he was carrying a small black bundle just now, where is it now?" Xiaoruo asked.

"Here, here!" One of the servants was more clever. He saw that the thin bamboo pole threw a black object into the alley before he was thrown down. Go to the alley and pick up the things and bring them back.

Doctor Jin trembled even more violently, his legs were unable to support him, if it wasn't for the servants supporting him, he would have collapsed on the ground.A foul smell permeated from his crotch, and he was so frightened that he peed on his pants.
