The History of the Empress of the Shang Dynasty

Chapter 80
After Wei Feng left, Ruojin went to buy a few bamboo buildings by himself and stacked them on his back, then went directly to the nearest pharmacy.

"Sir, I would like to purchase some herbs for dysentery."

Ruojin cut to the chase.

The old gentleman looked up at Ruojin, and saw that she had a ruddy complexion, and she didn't look like someone suffering from dysentery.

"Little girl, is anyone in the family suffering from dysentery? You can't use this medicine indiscriminately. It's best to bring it for the doctor to take a look at."

After hearing this, Ruojin immediately began to think about it.

She doesn't know the herbal medicine dealer now, if she goes to a major pharmacy to buy a large amount of herbal medicine, it may arouse suspicion, what should I say?

A trace of worry flashed across Ruojin's face, and she immediately lowered her face.

"It's not that my family is sick, it's that the old sows in my family have been having diarrhea for the past few days. My father just wanted to see if he could buy some herbs and go back and try to cure them."

"Old man, please sell it to me. My family is counting on these sows and piglets to live! If I can't buy medicine, my father will beat me when I go back!"

Ruojin burst into tears as she spoke, and the old man was heartbroken. He naturally knew what it meant to be a poor family with piglets. If these sows really couldn't give birth to piglets, it would be a waste of work for this family .

Although he felt a little flustered at the thought of feeding these medicinal materials to pigs, the old man was a kind-hearted person, and his heart softened when he saw the anxious look of the little girl.

Besides, open the door to do business, he doesn't care what she buys it for, he just sells it.

"Okay, let's try it. There are ground brocade grass, ghost needle grass, short-leaved cassia...what kind do you want, little girl?"

The old man told many kinds of herbal medicines for treating dysentery in a row, Ruojin secretly memorized them in his heart, and at the same time, he also found that there was no Pteris vulgaris in this pharmacy.

"Yeah, why don't you have some of everything, anyway, I don't know which one will work, so when the pigs are eating grass, I'll ask dad to add some of them."

Ruojin touched the seeds on her head, and added: "Weigh a little more, that pig is so edible, I'm afraid it won't be able to hold things if it's missing."

The old man smiled and thought the little girl was really cute, so he naturally didn't ask any more questions, and ordered the waiter to grab some more.

These are common herbal medicines, not very expensive, Ruojin paid the money and walked out of the pharmacy as if she had completed the task. As soon as she went out, she saw a carriage pulling a load of things in sacks to the back door.

Ruojin thought about it, and a smile appeared on the corner of her mouth: This is really a coincidence, God wants to make you rich, there is no way to stop it!

So, they went around in a circle and turned to the back door of the pharmacy.

There, sure enough, there was a guy carrying the sacks on the cart inside, and it was obvious that they were here to deliver the goods.

Ruojin was not in a hurry, and found a shady place to rest. She didn't get up until the back door of the herbal medicine store was closed after unloading the goods, and walked to the delivery boy.

"Little brother, are you here to deliver medicinal materials? It's so hot, I see you are working so hard, why doesn't that store even allow you to drink your saliva?"

The little guy was about to drive away. Hearing this, he looked up at the venomous sun. His throat felt dry for a while, and he shook his head helplessly.

"The weather is so dry, water is expensive now."

Sighing, the boy wiped the sweat from his forehead with his sleeve, and then prepared to leave again.
