Linxia

Chapter 64, Prescription

In the morning, Fang Lin came to Xuan Mo Zhai. Manager Liu was already waiting at the door. He had been walking with Fang Lin these days, so he was not used to walking alone.

"Boss, shall we change our route today?"

"Okay." Shopkeeper Liu agreed.

Fang Lin visited the place yesterday and today he strolled along the planned school route.

Taking this route, at this time, you can pass by the famous school in the city and meet students on their way to school. They carry small book baskets on their backs and look full of energy and enthusiasm, just like the rising sun on the willow trees.

Fang Lin and Manager Liu were strolling here. Seeing these schoolchildren more and more, they seemed to be infected and their mentality became much younger. This is how the day began.

Today was Cheng Shiliang's day off, so Fang Lin took over the cashier's job. Most of the words used in the account keeping were common words, so there was no problem.

There weren't too many customers, so it was busier than usual, and the day passed like this.

After work in the evening, Fang Lin had dinner and went out for a walk again, this time he went to the teahouse.

In the sunset, the opera and storytelling shows in teahouses and restaurants ended, and the relatives of officials and shop owners who had watched the opera, mostly old men and women, strolled home.

After returning from his walk to Xuan Mo Zhai, Fang Lin went into the four-person room and tried to imitate the characters in a book he had borrowed from the store.

Huang Di and Chai Yiwei were playing chess, enjoying their leisure time.

This way, your time after work is at your own disposal and completely belongs to you. The feeling of freedom makes you feel relaxed and happy.

Huang Di and Chai Yiwei played for a while, winning more than losing, and became a little inflated. With an attitude of "sweeping all opponents", they jokingly said, "Linzi, shall we play a round?"

"Okay." Fang Lin had been studying for a while and wanted to take a break, so he went over and sat down. He quickly defeated Huang Di.

The same thing happened when Chai Yiwei took over, winning three games in a row, and it ended very quickly.

"Brother Fang is really good at chess." Chai Yiwei said.

"Linzi, how come you are so powerful?" Huang Di was also amazed.

"I'm just average." Fang Lin said calmly, and then added: "The chess player is like the person. Yiwei is honest and rarely uses strategies, but you are reluctant to give up this 'pawn' and that 'horse'. You are timid and cautious, so you are likely to lose."

He didn't come. He asked Huang Di and Chai Yiwei to leave, and then he picked up the book again.

"Linzi, you are the best." Huang Di said, "You can concentrate on learning, but I can't. I feel dizzy when I look at the densely packed words in the book."

Fang Lin smiled and said, "My home is not too far away. I stayed here just to learn calligraphy and read more books. Your home is also in the city, why don't you go back?"

"I'm not stupid. There's free food here, so why should I go back?" Although he said this, Huang Di went back every two days and never told the reason.

Chai Yiwei's home is in a village outside the city. He doesn't go back on weekdays, and sometimes he doesn't go back even when he has a day off, perhaps because he has some unspeakable secret.

Fang Lin noticed these things, but since the other party didn't say anything on their own initiative, he wouldn't ask without any courtesy.

Another while passed, and Cheng Shiliang came back from his "vacation" today. He brought some chicken bones for the three of them to eat to satisfy their hunger. He sat down himself, looking a little unhappy.

"Brother Cheng is very generous." Huang Di praised him, took a chicken skeleton, approached him and asked, "Brother Cheng, what's wrong? You don't look very happy."

"Do you remember? I said, when I went to a brothel, there was a girl I got along well with named Xiu'er..." At this point, Cheng Shiliang hesitated.

"Why don't you remember?" Huang Di was impressed: "She was the one who roasted lice and ate them. What happened to her?"

"Every time I go there, she is very happy, so I am also happy to find her. But she let it slip today, and I just found out... just found out..." "Just found out what?" Huang Di became more and more interested and asked.

Fang Lin and Chai Yiwei also looked over.

Facing the gazes of the three people, although Cheng Shiliang was a little embarrassed to speak, he finally said: "She said, she said she was looking forward to my coming. Every time I come, I get the money and it's easy. She likes customers like me..."

Chai Yiwei, an honest man, is completely clueless about romantic matters and cannot understand them.

Fang Lin understood it instantly, but he was also well-trained, so he kept a straight face and didn't smile.

Huang Di was stunned for a moment, then he reacted and laughed, "Hahahaha, that girl is so tactful! Don't hit me, don't hit me, Brother Cheng, that's not what I meant!"

After playing around for a while, he said seriously, "Brother Cheng, to be honest, I know an old doctor who is good at that..."

"Go away, do you think I'm the one who needs that kind of prescription?" Cheng Shiliang felt as if he was insulted and pushed Huang Di away, leaving Huang Di thinking that his suspicion was wrong.

But after a while, he quietly pulled Huang Di aside and said, "Dizi, let's talk for a moment. I have a friend..."

The two of them whispered to each other for a while, and the more Cheng Shiliang listened, the brighter his eyes became. He paced for a while, said "you guys eat", and made a gesture to go out.

"Brother Cheng, you just came back. Where are you going now? Aren't you going to sleep here tonight?" Huang Di asked hurriedly.

"I'll go look for... No, I'll go tell my friend. In this kind of situation, help is as urgent as putting out a fire." Cheng Shiliang's voice came, and the man had already gone out. It was truly swift and decisive.

Fang Lin and Huang Di looked at each other, naturally understood, and both laughed.

On the contrary, Chai Yiwei, who was dumbfounded, was still muttering: "As expected of Brother Cheng, he is a good person and cares so much about his friends' affairs."

"Hahahaha!" The two people laughed even more happily after hearing this.

……

The next morning, Fang Lin and Manager Liu came back from their walk and saw Cheng Shiliang, who was in high spirits.

Huang Di pulled him aside and winked: "Brother Cheng, how is it, is there any effect?"

This question was incoherent, but Cheng Shiliang naturally understood and said modestly, "Of course it worked. Well, Dizi, Linzi, let me tell you, last night I... cough cough cough!"

He was talking excitedly when he suddenly realized something and paused. He coughed twice subconsciously before saying, "I mean, my friend used the prescription of the old doctor you mentioned last night and he became really strong and powerful, killing everyone..."

"I said, the person who introduced me is right, right?" Huang Di said proudly.

"Thank you very much." Cheng Shiliang patted the guy on the shoulder, and then a look of pain flashed across his face: "That recipe is good in every way, but it's a bit expensive."

"You get what you pay for!" Fang Lin was not surprised. Such things were not cheap in his previous life, let alone in this era.

"Yes, good medicine is expensive, and the money is gone in a blink of an eye. It is never enough." Huang Di said, seeming to share the same feeling.

"What are you three mumbling about? Look at Yiwei, come over and serve the food."

At this time, Manager Liu called out, and the three people who had gathered together stopped talking, hurried to eat, and then opened the door to go to work.
