But the pitiful look of this little animal in front of me didn't allow me to think too much. I took out a bottle of mineral water from my bag, poured the water into the bottle cap, and handed it to the ferret. The little animal moved its nose first, and after confirming that there was no danger, it stretched out its tongue to lick the water in the bottle cap, and let out a sound that seemed to be pleasant.
I poured the rest of the water on its head again, and it shook its hair cleverly, yelled at me twice as if grateful, then ran into the bushes and disappeared.
What kind of animal is that? I couldn't figure it out after much deliberation, so I just gave up. But saving an animal made me feel better, so I hummed a song all the way and walked towards the back of the mountain.
The road leading to the old house remained unchanged, and there were still many tall weeds. I had to push them aside to take a difficult step.
If I really want to come here often in the future, I'm afraid I have to take some time to trim the wild grass here and make a way.
While thinking about what was there and what was not, before I knew it, the old house with an ancient atmosphere appeared in front of me again. The old house is still the same, there is no change from the last time I came, but this time I don't need to look for that naughty cat anymore, instead I have more time to enjoy the scenery around the house.
Same as last time, after passing through two gates, a big locust tree appeared in my field of vision, bypassing the locust tree, in front of me was the main house where Mr. Wen lived.
I pushed open two wooden doors and walked in while saying "excuse me".
"Mr. Wen? Are you there? I'm Gu Yu!"
There was no response from the room, but other strange voices came. Listen carefully, there are fighting sounds and shouting sounds, but they can't be heard clearly. It seems to come from a far away place.
My heart tightened, and I rushed into the back room without thinking, "Mr. Wen! Are you there, Mr. Wen? Did something happen?"
Wen Jiubai was lying on a long sofa, wearing a long white gown, his legs were crossed, his long hair was messy, and he was holding an ipad in his hand. He raised his head after a while, "Oh, Gu Yu. You Here we come."
I was completely stunned, my eyes moved from Wen Jiubai's face to his hands, and finally stopped on the ipad in his hands.
That's right, the fighting and shouting I just heard came from this ipad.
I became angry from embarrassment, "What are you doing!"
"Do you still need to ask?" Wen Jiubai raised the tablet in his hand at me, "Glory of the King."
I stared at Wen Jiubai dumbfounded, "So you were... playing games?"
There is absolutely no way to connect this person with online games.
"Yes." Wen Jiubai put down the tablet, stretched his waist, and stood up from the sofa, "Playing games is good for physical and mental health. I just finished a business order, and now I am recuperating."
"Playing games is not called recuperation!" I couldn't help complaining.
That being said, I couldn't help but take a closer look. This glance didn't matter, but it turned out that Wen Jiubai's heroes were almost all full-level equipment and high-level items.
"Having money and willfulness!" I said angrily.
"That's right." Wen Jiubai didn't mean to be angry at all, but smiled, "So you, a poor man, have to work for a rich man like me, understand?"
Saying that, Wen Jiubai stood up from the sofa, stroked the back of my neck like a small animal and pushed me out of the room, "As a wage earner, you shouldn't enter the boss's private office, understand? "
I just don't know where to complain. Who is a wage earner, and your boss only knows how to play games in the office!
"Okay, okay, don't look at me that way, the guests will be coming in a while, go to the front desk and grab the medicine." Wen Jiubai patted me on the back, and I staggered.
"Wait, wait, grab the medicine?" I was dumbfounded, "Why do you need to grab the medicine? I haven't heard of this!"
"Otherwise, what do you think I do?" Wen Jiubai said lazily, without even an explanation.
I became confused, "Aren't you a monster catcher? Isn't the sign at the door saying 'Evil Elimination Pavilion'?"
"That's just one of my professions. If the current society only relied on exorcising demons to make money, wouldn't I have starved to death long ago?" Wen Jiubai had a natural expression.
It seems to be so... Well, that is to say, Wen Jiubai's other occupation is—
"Chinese medicine shop." Wen Jiubai led me to a room in the front yard. Before I walked in, I could already smell the fragrance of medicines in the room. Take a look at the plaque of this room, which says "Jishitang" in three big characters.
Like all traditional pharmacies, there is a wooden cabinet the size of an entire wall, with countless small drawers on it, all marked with the names of different medicinal materials. Wen Jiubai opened a drawer casually, rubbed the medicinal materials inside with his index finger and thumb and said,
"My daily expenses come from here. Although I am not academically proficient, it is much better than the traditional Chinese medicine store that anyone can open on the street. Most of the daily customers here are for medical treatment and medicine, that is, Said, since you are my assistant, your main job is to collect medicine."
"But, but... I have never studied Chinese medicine, how do I know how to take medicine!"
"The weight of each medicinal material will be written clearly on the prescription, and there is a small scale at the counter. You can't even count, can you?" Before I could explain again, Wen Jiubai slapped me on the back, "There are guests coming, hurry up!"
I was just about to say how is it possible, but when I looked back, there were really three girls walking in shyly, you looked at me, I looked at yours, and no one was willing to speak first.
"Well, Mr. Wen..." Finally, an extroverted girl opened her mouth.
I couldn't stand it anymore, so I pointed to them, "That's the one playing King of Glory over there."
Without even raising his head, Wen Jiubai said, "Is your menstruation irregular?"
The little girls blushed all of a sudden, and even gave me a very coy look. I said in my heart that it had nothing to do with me, I was just a druggist.
Wen Jiubai only raised his head this time, and he didn't know if he was in a good mood after winning the battle. He glanced at the three girls with a smile, and said to me,
"Gu Yu, grab the medicine. Poria cocos 12 grams, yam 15 grams, fried Atractylodes macrocephala 9 grams, Codonopsis 9 grams, and Divine Comedy 9 grams."
I hurriedly weighed the different medicinal materials according to what he said, but because it was the first time I did it, it took me a long time to pack the medicinal materials clumsily. Fortunately, I didn't get scolded.
