"Probably the wish was fulfilled?" Rong Gui said.
"Her wish is to see her daughter learn basic survival skills, be taken care of, and live a good life..."
In the duvet, listening to the steady snoring of the little girl, Ronggui suddenly turned on the phone, stretched out a finger, Ronggui poked Xiaomei, and after a while, Xiaomei turned her head expressionlessly.
"I don't know what Hana's dad's wish is..."
"Is it making enough potions to give Hana enough points to live into adulthood?"
"Or do you want Hana to watch by the side, learn various refining methods and learn to make medicine?"
"The latter... It's a bit hard to see..."
Rong Gui was talking, and there was a bit of sadness in his voice.
As a fellow from Shouzhuoxing, Ronggui is a little worried about Hana's ability to learn medicine.
She turned her head back, her sky blue eyes looked straight at the ceiling, and Xiaomei didn't speak.
"I have money." A small voice suddenly came from between the two of them.
Rong Gui was taken aback and hurriedly lowered his head to look in Hana's direction, only to realize that the little girl opened her eyes and woke up at some point.
Her little feet were kicking and kicking in the quilt. Hana found herself a position that was just in line with Ronggui Xiaomei's head, and then took out a round... small pass from her pajamas.
The little guy pressed something on it, and a row of numbers appeared on the pass.
After counting the number of zeros after the number, Ronggui was stunned.
"This is what Mom and Dad left for me." The little girl said, pressed the number, and then stuffed the pass back under her pajamas.
Rong Gui was stunned for a long time before sighing: "So Hana, you are a local tyrant..."
The real local tyrant Hana raised the corner of her mouth slightly.
"I have money, and Dad definitely didn't come back because he was worried that he didn't have money." The little girl whispered.
Ronggui nodded: "It doesn't seem to be the reason."
"That's for you to learn how to make medicine."
"Your father probably wants you to learn how to make at least one kind of medicine and be able to live by selling it before you can leave..." Rong Gui couldn't help but infer the reason for Hana's father's side using Hana's mother's model.
"Although... I'm stupid, but I'll try my best!" Hana firmly expressed her determination as she stretched out her little fist from the bed.
"Yes! Be ambitious, but... Don't take out the pass easily in the future, and don't press the numbers inside to show others, do you know?" Ronggui encouraged the little girl and warned her worriedly.
"Not necessarily." Suddenly Xiaomei's cold mechanical voice came from the side.
Palm to palm, the two people who were communicating happily turned their heads to look at Xiaomei.
Sitting next to her under the quilt, Xiaomei, who was still looking directly at the ceiling, said quietly:
"Purple orchid, burrito, sagebrush... In the past few days, he has been studying the extraction temperature and ratio of these herbs. His actions are not teaching, but researching new medicines."
"These three kinds of herbal medicines are not unusual, and they are not conventional herbal materials. Their most important function is to reduce the function of specific herbal materials. The herbs that can be diluted by these three kinds of herbs are Gabudori vine, Shukel. Mushrooms, and the rhizomes of rimmed flowers."
"Based on this characteristic, it can be inferred that he is not only working on a new drug, but that this drug should be an antidote to another drug."
"So, what he's still doing after he dies should be—"
"An antidote for the immortal medicine?!" Rong Gui called out.
Hana's eyes widened.
If you want to know if what Hana's father is doing is really the antidote to the undead medicine, it's actually very simple. If you can find the recipe for the undead medicine, you can see it. In the city of Cicero, once the pharmacists make a certain medicine that can subvert people's perception, they will send the prescription to the pharmacist association in the city. After the identification is confirmed to be a good medicine enough to be listed in the Pharmacopoeia, the prescription will be recorded in the city. On the Pharmacopoeia, it is convenient for all pharmacists in the city to consult. All pharmacists can try to make this medicine. However, only after the trial is successful, they will be awarded the qualification to sell this kind of medicine, and then they will be listed on the signboard of their own pharmacy. The name of the drug is added on the list. It doesn't matter if they can't grasp it. They can go to a pharmacist with pharmaceutical qualifications to purchase it, so that they can also add the name of the drug on the signboard of the drugstore.
There is no doubt that the medicine of immortality is this kind of palace-level medicine.
The immortal medicine made by Hana's father was listed on the big pharmacopoeia in the city. The pharmacists in the city tried to make this medicine. For a long time, the life of Hana's family was quite beautiful. The pharmacies also came to buy medicines one after another. The shop was full of customers every day, busy work, and even more busy father... full of Hana's memories.
The good life ended when the first guest suddenly died suddenly, and after his death, he became the first zombie.
Hana couldn't tell what happened to her family at that time. She only remembered that the door of the shop at home was suddenly closed. Then, the angry family members of the patient pulled the dead relatives to surround the door of the shop, and cracks were smashed in the glass...
Hana's father protects Hana very well.
"...I don't have any elixir at home anymore, that... there's no elixir anywhere, and they've all been destroyed." Law enforcement troops sent from outside poured into the city in groups, rummaging through every pharmacy for the stockpile of elixir, and then They burned together.
The flames were so high that Hana was still able to see the flames outside her window, confined to her home by her mother.
"But, it should be right. That's what Dad's last wish is. To make an antidote for the elixir, it must be like this! Dad was making medicine every day when he was alive!" Thinking of the last days when Dad was alive, ha Na's voice couldn't help but rise.
"Do you have a prescription for immortality at home?" Xiaomei asked quietly in the darkness.
"No, it's not the elixir of death, it's the elixir." The little girl stubbornly corrected it, then shook her head: "No, Dad's notes have all been destroyed."
"However, it should be in the Pharmacopoeia. Mom said that Dad was the most powerful pharmacist and made medicines that could be written in the Pharmacopoeia." Hana said innocently when she suddenly thought of something.
"Then... Then let's go look for that pharmacopoeia tomorrow?" Rong Gui quickly said something when he noticed that the atmosphere suddenly became dark and tense: "What is a pharmacopoeia? Is it something like a dictionary? Where can I get it? Buying a pharmacopoeia... a bookstore?"
"Is there a bookstore here?" Ronggui continued to worry.
"The library should have it. We'll go to the library tomorrow." In the darkness, Xiaomei said calmly.
"Now, you two, go to sleep."
Xiaomei's voice was cold and not gentle at all. It was this kind of voice, it was really reliable, and it made people feel calm.
Does Dad really want to be the antidote to the elixir? Can Dad figure it out? Can you really learn by yourself
Feeling a little dazed and a little uneasy, Hana clung to the hands of Ronggui and Xiaomei and fell asleep.
When Hana woke up the next morning, the little girl's eyes had a faint circle of blue-black.
Due to her bad eyesight, although Mrs. Zora couldn't see the little girl's face, she could sense something sensitively through the little girl's appetite.
"What's the matter? I only ate a bowl and a half of rice today. Is the food unpalatable?" asked Mrs. Zora, pretending to be casual.
I can't see that the old man's eyes are not good at all - whenever this happens, Ronggui can't help but sigh.
For an old lady who is almost blind and lives alone, Mrs. Zola has been very meticulous. She can't see, but she can remember every corner of the room, where things come from and where they are placed. Where, she was like a normal person when she walked in the house.
In addition, she is also good at weaving. Although she can't weave complicated patterns like before because of her eyes, she will weave plain colors. In addition, she can also use the difference in temperature after lighting to select fabrics. Listening to the sound to identify the water level in the cup, she couldn't make beautiful dishes, so she made rice bowls. Although it didn't look good, the taste—according to Hana, it was really one word: great!
She knows everything in the house, and the outside yard is no exception. She has a good employee, and the herbs outside are neatly arranged. Mrs. Zola will designate a certain herb to be planted in a certain area. The employee There is never a mistake. When harvesting, the herbs will be neatly bundled and placed on the designated lawn outside the house. When someone comes to buy them, Mrs. Zorah can sell the herbs gracefully and accurately.
Having lived here for more than half a month, Ronggui has only seen the person who came to receive the goods once.
To be precise, it is the person who made the purchase successfully.
Even though this place is like a haunted house, people still often come to ask for medicine. Although Mrs. Zola is not amazing, she seems to be a very powerful herbal supplier. Her yard has the most complete herbal materials in the whole city of Cicero. Many people I came to her to buy medicinal materials, but most of them were unsuccessful.
The reason seems to be-
"Mrs. Zora sells herbs on the principle of equal exchange. If you want to get a certain herb from her yard, you must give her an herb that is not in the yard."

Yani told them this sentence, remember Yani? It was the beautiful clerk who introduced Mrs. Ronggui Xiaomei to live here at the beginning, and was also the former clerk of Hana's father's pharmacy.
On the way, Ronggui saw Yani twice in Hana's store. Every time he came, he was carrying something, or something to eat or drink, or herbs.
It's no surprise to find that Ronggui and Xiaomei are working here now. It seems that Qilu has already told him.
Ronggui has a good relationship with him now. When the two were chatting, Yani revealed the reason why he introduced Ronggui and the others to live with Mrs. Zola:
"I used to live in the house next door for a while when I was a child. The dilapidated house closest to Mrs. Zola's house was the original house of my family. At that time, Mrs. Zola's daughter was still alive..."
"That's a pretty lady~ The boys in our area like her."
"There is only one relative left, Mrs. Zora is very kind to her daughter."
"But the heart of the young lady is not good. It is said that the family has a bad heart. Mrs. Zolla and her husband have a bad heart. Mrs. Zolla left early, leaving Mrs. Zolla and her daughter."
"They used to live in a city outside. Mrs. Zola's husband installed a mechanical heart, but the effect was not good. She no longer believed in the mechanical therapy outside. She only brought her daughter to live here because of Ciciro. The medicine of the city."
"However, Miss Sister's life was not saved in the end, and she still left."
"Mrs. Zora is the only one left in the house."
"Later, she lost her eyes and didn't go out. She lived by growing herbs alone. Outsiders are not allowed to do the pharmaceutical business. She could only grow herbs... It's a hard life, she's getting older, and she's lonely by herself. , no matter how busy I am, I will introduce people who are pleasing to the eye from time to time. If there is a relationship with the eyes, I will live with Mrs. Zolla as a companion. "
Yani also came here specially to explain his original thoughts.
"Also, there is the strong nutrient solution made by Hana's father. Although... it may be expired, but it is definitely better than the other two stores. I didn't mean to fool you here to buy expired medicine."
Yani is a neat person, and after explaining things clearly, he quickly changed the subject and turned to chat with Hana.
It can be seen that he likes the little girl of his former employer very much, and Hana... Although his attitude is still a bit awkward, but with the encouragement of Ronggui's eyes, he finally starts to chat with Yani.
When I was desperate, I thought that everyone had left me. Although the hostility in my heart had dissipated because I knew the reason, it still took a little time for the previous estrangement to melt.
The topic seems to go a bit far.
But when I think of Yani, I think of what Yani said about Mrs. Zola's daughter. Now that I think about it, the reason why Mrs. Zola can take out so many beautiful dresses for little girls at once, those skirts... should be her daughter's
Every stitch and every thread is done with heart, that is the love of a mother for her child.
However, the beloved child is now gone.
Looking at Hana, who panicked and explained to Mrs. Zorah that it was not the food that was not delicious, but that she had no appetite, and then Mrs. Zorah who turned around and brought out a white drink from the kitchen next door.
The corners of Ronggui's mouth twitched slightly.
Although it was a mistake, but this time, Yani seems to have finally introduced the right person.
Drinking the white herbal tea brought out by Mrs. Zorah, Hana's small eyes carefully looked at Mrs. Zorah's face.
After getting along for a long time, she is no longer afraid of Mrs. Zora, and Mrs. Zola no longer wears glasses from time to time.
"Mrs. Zorah, I think you should drink this herbal tea more than I do!" After sips of the sweet herbal tea, Hana expressed her opinion: "Your eyes are a little dark. , and the color of your lips is also darker than usual. Are you feeling unwell? I remember that someone asked my father to make medicine like this before. It seems to be a serious illness... "
Although she is clumsy, the little girl is the daughter of the former chief pharmacist in the city. She has lived upstairs in the store since she was a child. She may have seen more patients than normal people. Although she has not studied systematically, she has experience in this area. sensitivity.
"It's a heart attack. I've finished taking my medicine, and I haven't had time to place an order for someone to send a new one. You don't have to worry about it." She looks like a serious and reserved lady, but unexpectedly, Mrs. Zora is facing Hana was still very frank when she was, and she spoke out about her illness so generously.
When she was done, she stopped talking until she heard Hana placing the empty glass on the round table.
"It's getting late, you should go." Standing up, she sent a few people out to work.
"I still think Mrs. Zora's face is not good, Xiaomei, do you think so too?" Hana was still struggling with Mrs. Zola's face. As she walked, she also asked Xiaomei for confirmation. , she said firmly: "I remember that my father had taken a very useful heart medicine before. That medicine should not expire. I will look for it when I get home..."
"I'll help you find it!" Ronggui volunteered to raise his hand.
Xiaomei: …
So, on this day, Ronggui and Hana rummaged through boxes and cabinets to find "the legendary medicine for heart disease", while Xiaomei went to the library alone after finishing her morning's work.
Find the Pharmacopoeia.
