Chapter 14 Tiger
Ximenqing
Ximenqing has lost interest in going to Zishi Street since he saw the little man selling pears hit by falling objects from high altitude that day. Although people come and go, this falling object is really dangerous. If the next time it falls is not a fork stick but a flower pot, it is not the little man selling pears but Ximen Qing himself, I guess he will blow the lamp and draw wax. Moreover, he has not been married and has no descendants. The Ximen family is already rare, and he was slapped to death by a flower pot, which is indeed very disrespectful to his ancestors. Of course, another reason is that as long as Ximen Qing goes to Zishi Street, he will think of Wu Dalang pancake, and he will immediately think that he is not as good as a self-made dwarf in business, which makes Ximen Qing feel painful and incompetent. If you haven't been in the store for a long time, you should sit for a few days. Although you can't understand professional things, it's not a good thing that the owner doesn't appear in the store all year round.
Ximenqing got up later and later recently. It was almost noon when he appeared in the pharmacy. There was no one in the pharmacy, so he took a teapot and took a chair to the corner next to the door of the store to bask in the sun while drinking tea, which was also very happy.
At this time, he saw Wu Song coming out of the sedan chair diagonally opposite, followed by four officials. Two of them also carried a small box, and the shopkeeper of the sedan chair also sent it out from inside. The two were politely doing something.
At this time, the shopkeeper of the pharmacy also came out of the pharmacy and stood at the door to look.
"My boss, do you know who that person is?" Since Ximen Qing let go of the pharmacy, the relationship between the owner and the shopkeeper has become very good, so the shopkeeper is also happy to chat with Ximen Qing.
"I know, Wu Song, the new capital of this town, who beats the tiger. Wu Dalang's younger brother. Ximenqing said angrily. In fact, he felt that it would be great if he had such a younger brother, and the business of the pharmacy would definitely be the best.
"Dong, Wu Song is such a big array that he seems to visit shops one by one. I haven't heard of which one I've been to before. It seems that this sedan is on the west street."
"The car shop has a big deal, and the contacts are all official people. Our small pharmacy really can't resist it." Thinking that trading is getting worse day by day, Ximenqing couldn't help sighing.
"But don't worry about the owner. People can not take a sedan chair, but it is impossible not to take medicine. People eat grains, and there is no one who is not sick. Yanggu can be without a sedan, but not without a medicine shop. It is impossible to compete for the length of time to do business. In the future, these officials will also be sick. Please come to the door and don't let you slaughter them. The pharmacy shopkeeper looked at Wu Song and his party while rubbing his hands. It seems that I want to soak my hands more in the sun.
"Well, you see, Wu Song is as healthy as an ox. I don't know if he won't get sick until the year of the monkey. Why does Wu Dalang have such a younger brother? Ximenqing was dejected.
The pharmacy shopkeeper stared at Wu Song's horse, thought about the distant figure for a while, and suddenly smiled.
Ximen Qing was puzzled: "What are you laughing at?"
"My employer, I'm afraid that Wu Song's body is no longer good."
"Why didn't I see it?"
"Don't you just saw him get on the horse? It seems to be slightly worse than normal people. Wu Song is naturally good at killing tigers. This state is quite abnormal.
"So, you can see, what's wrong with this Wu Song?"
"In fact, Wu Song is not sick. Anyway, there are few businesses today. I'll talk to my boss. You may find it very interesting.
Ximen Qing was interested when he heard it: "Come on, talk about it quickly."
The pharmacy shopkeeper took a deep breath, narrowed his eyes and said slowly, "My master may not know that my family is a famous medical family. When I was a teenager, I felt that all diseases in the world could be diagnosed and treated, so I was arrogant until a hunter came to see a doctor at home."
"What does the hunter look like?" Ximenqing asked curiously.
"The hunter is very skilled, and he can hunt tigers and bears, so he is also quite rich. But when I came to my house, my breath was already dying. According to him, after hunting a giant wolf, he thought that he had consumed a lot of energy and had to recover for a long time, but he didn't expect that he became energetic after a short break, so he immediately hunted again. This hunt went a long way because I felt that I was in good condition. The results were also very good, killing two bears. But since this time, my energy has been worse day by day, and it is consumed very fast. After half a year, I can only lie down in ** and can't come down. The hunter was brought here when he came.
"Then, has your doctor found out anything?" Ximenqing became more and more curious.
"I was a teenager at that time, and I was not a famous doctor, but my father was indeed." The pharmacy shopkeeper heard the irony in Ximen Qing's words, but he was not angry and continued: "Father can't find out what's wrong. Judging from the pulse, this person is overtired and tired himself like this. He lies in ** every day, but he has a lot of diet and no exercise consumption, but the degree of fatigue seems to be increasing every day. After staying at my house for half a month, my father found that he really couldn't deal with this strange disease. If the hunter stayed here for another ten days, he would probably die here. The father was afraid of delaying the patient's condition and hoped that his family could change places for diagnosis and treatment. Of course, my father is also afraid of affecting the reputation of his famous doctor. It's really not good for a patient to die at home.
Ximenqing joked, "Your father is not like a famous doctor, but like a businessman with interests."
"I have also felt since then that the medical skills are not perfect, and there are still many diseases that cannot be diagnosed and treated. And doctors are not pure, and practicing medicine is essentially a kind of business. Therefore, the degree of intoxication with medical skills became worse and worse, but more and more good at doing business. Therefore, he did not go to the hospital or become a doctor. Instead, he became the shopkeeper of the pharmacy. Speaking of which, the appearance of this hunter is also a turning point in my life. When the shopkeeper said this, his expression was a little lamented and a little regrettable.
"But what you said has nothing to do with Wu Song."
"Don't worry, boss. Let me finish my words. The hunter died on the fifth day after he left my house. Although he did not die in my house, he just came out of my house, which also had a lot of influence on my father. My father and I were worried about this matter at that time and insisted on trying to find out what was wrong. Hard work pays off, and when my father was about to go to work, he finally found out the real reason for this disease.
"What is the reason?"
"This symptom is called 'wolf'."
"What is that?"
"The owner still remembers that I said before that this hunter had hunted a giant wolf before he fell ill. Everything is spiritual. After some animals are strong to a certain extent, their souls are also constantly strengthened. The goblins that the world always say is animals whose souls have been strengthened to a certain extent.
"You mean that the giant wolf is a goblin?"
"The owner laughed, there are no goblins in the world. But soul strengthening does exist, and the soul of the giant wolf is thought to be strengthened to a certain extent, and the hunter is also very brave enough to kill such a giant wolf. The strong soul of the giant wolf came to the hunter without a host. Therefore, the hunter was once more powerful, killing two black bears, which was the fighting spirit and strength brought by the wolf. But how can the human body compare with the giant wolf in the Wuthering Mountain Forest? It is slowly tired by the wolf, and the body is getting worse and worse until the lamp dies.
"After the death of this hunter, will the wolf without a host continue to find the Shinjuku master?"
"This is generally not the same. The wolf also consumes too much energy to drive the Orion's body, and also disappears with the Orion. After the death of the giant wolf, it is also a kind of revenge with the power of soul.
"Hahaha, I feel too strange to hear it. It's your doctor's father who made it up to deceive you."
"It's not. Although my father said that some businessmen are crafty, he is meticulous in studying medicine. Such a thing is not unprecedented. In those years, Liu Bang, the ancestor of the Han Dynasty, killed the snake, but in fact, the snake spirit had already possessed it. Liu Bang acted uncertainly. I think it was the snake's soul. As for whether he was finally affected by the snake's soul, his body was destroyed, or he had to be helped by an alien person. I don't know if he went to this soul.
"Well, I believe you. So what does this have to do with Wu Song?"
"I think Wu Song is strong, but his action is a little slow. The date is similar to the date of the onset of the disease of the hunter who came to see a doctor.
"What kind of soul is Wu Song entangled with? Isn't it the soul of a woman? Hahaha"
"The owner laughed again. I guess Wu Song is now in a tiger's body.
"You mean the tiger he killed?"
"The owner is right. The white-fronted tiger in Yanggu County found dozens of good hunters to hunt and kill, but they were not built, and several people were injured. How can a beast be so powerful? This big insect has become the king of the tiger and has a strong soul. It uses this soul to drive the body and be invincible. Wu Song killed the tiger with a meat fist and wanted to quit after losing its host, so he turned to Wu Song. When Wu Song traveled the street as a tiger hero that day, I wondered why a person who had just consumed so much physical strength still seemed so energetic? Later, I heard that Wu Song ate a lot, and one person could eat seven or eight men's meals. Weakness is not the upper body of the tiger, and only Zhu Bajie is possessed to have this effect. I guess he has also broken the names of many people recently. This tiger is very violent.
"How do you think Wu Song is now?" Ximen Qing asked.
The pharmacy shopkeeper sighed: "I think it is on the verge of decline. The host remembers that if Wu Song comes to see a doctor for treatment, don't take it. At the beginning, it didn't seem to be a big problem, but the oil was dry, and it was just a matter of time. Don't cause trouble.
After saying that, the pharmacy shopkeeper turned around and went back to the store. Ximen Qing stood alone in the sun, stunned.
