C19 Divine Medicine

Only then did Soong Qiu'er realize that Ah Mu didn't seem to have won the battle in one piece. The part of his hair that he was holding was flat, obviously, Ah Mu had been hit.

"Does it hurt?" Soong Qiu'er asked anxiously. This place was too dangerous.

Ah Mu nodded, then shook his head and said to Soong Qiu'er, "The place where I hit doesn't hurt, the inside of my head hurts."

Brain pain?

Soong Qiu'er carefully examined Ah Mu's head. After roughly determining that it wasn't a concussion, she suddenly thought, "Since he was injured and lost his memory, could it be that he started to regain it right away?"

If that was really the case, then Ah Mu's memory could be stimulated by acupuncture and reminded him of his past.

Thinking about it, Soong Qiu'er was a little excited. She wished she could give Ah Mu acupuncture needles right beside her, but she could not even see a single silver needle, let alone a single needle, in her Soong Family.

The two of them sat where they were, panting heavily. Soong Qiu'er grabbed a stalk of grass beside her when she thought of their excitement. "Let's go down the mountain."

"Down the mountain?" Ah Mu asked in confusion, "Isn't it still not finished?"

Soong Qiu'er waved her hand. "It's alright …"

At this moment, she suddenly saw the blade of grass that she had just grabbed and said happily, "It seems like fortune and misfortune are true. To think that I would be able to see such an unfortunate thing."

"What is this?" Ah Mu asked as he looked at a stalk of grass in Soong Qiu'er's hand.

"Three White Grass." Soong Qiu'er happily looked at the remaining clump of Three White Grass and said, "Three White Grass has a miraculous effect on a girl's appearance. After grinding it into powder and soaking it in water for three days, it will turn white from the inside, hence the name Three White Grass."

To any girl, beauty was something that could not be ignored. To be able to pick the Three White Grass, Soong Qiu'er would not care even if she did not manage to get any more herbs today.

After going down the mountain, Soong Qiu'er made some herbs to stop the itch, and then carefully wrote down the anti-itch formula.

The next day, Soong Qiu'er stealthily brought the antipruritic medicine and formula to the town. She went straight to the pharmacy that sold Lingzhi the last time.

"Miss, you're here again." The shopkeeper smiled as he approached Soong Qiu'er. "What kind of medicine did you bring this time?" The Lingzhi you brought the last time was sold at an astronomical price. If there was still I who gave you twice the price last time, how about it? "

The shop owner was honest and told Soong Qiu'er that the lingzhi root sold well last time. He even offered a double price to Soong Qiu'er. It could be seen that he was a loyal person.

It was because the price was considered normal that Soong Qiu'er came to the pharmacy for the second time. However, this time, Soong Qiu'er waved her hand and said, "I don't want to sell any medicine. I have a prescription here. Are you interested, shopkeeper?"

"Prescription?" Upon hearing that Soong Qiu'er wanted to sell the prescription, the smile on the shopkeeper's face instantly disappeared. He asked dispiritedly, "What prescription?"

One look at the shopkeeper's appearance told Soong Qiu'er that she had no interest in her prescription, so there was no other way around it. People of this era were still unaware of the benefits of selling their formulas.

Soong Qiu'er patiently said, "This is a prescription to stop itching. With the serious bite of the mosquitoes during the summer, there must be a lot of people who want to buy this medicine to prepare. It also has a miraculous effect on itching."

Seeing Soong Qiu'er's serious expression, the shopkeeper could not interrupt her and asked, "How much silver do you intend to sell this prescription for?"

"Three hundred silver." Soong Qiu'er said seriously.

"What?" The shopkeeper frowned as he looked at Soong Qiu'er. "What prescription is that? You actually want three hundred taels of silver? I still don't know if this recipe will work."

Soong Qiu'er passed the prescription to the shopkeeper. "Please take a look at the prescription before making a decision."

The shopkeeper took Soong Qiu'er's prescription, opened it and hesitated, "Your medicine is cheap, how much can you sell it for? Your offer of three hundred liang is a bit too much. "

"Shopkeeper, think about it. You're the only one who has the prescription. Even if other people buy the prescription, they still wouldn't be able to make it. Are you afraid that you won't be able to sell it back?"

Soong Qiu'er told the shopkeeper. Just as she was about to persuade him again, a man ran in hastily and said, "Doctor, the doctor has come to see you!"

"What's wrong?" The shopkeeper walked up to the man and asked, "Are you feeling uncomfortable anywhere?"

"My whole body is itching!" The man's face was full of anxiety as he pulled the shopkeeper and said, "Hurry up and treat me!"

The shopkeeper said helplessly, "What can I do about it? Can't I just scratch it?"

Hearing the manager's words, the man was immediately angered. "Scratch? If you can scratch me well, why would I look for you! "

With that, the servant beside the man hurriedly said to the shopkeeper, "Doctor, please help my old master look. Since last night, the old master has been bitten by something, and after scratching for an entire night, he can't even sleep soundly. If the itch continues, he won't be able to live the rest of his life."

This itch was like a toothache. It was not a big deal at all. If it was painful, it would cost a person his life.

The shopkeeper had an ugly expression on his face when he heard a crisp female voice say, "If Master doesn't mind, why don't you try out my medicine?"

Everyone looked up and saw a young girl holding a small bottle in her hands with a smile. She was looking at Soong Qiu'er.

"What is this?" the man asked.

Soong Qiu'er said, "This is an antipruritic medicine. As long as you apply it on the itch place, it will stop the itch for a moment."

"Then what are we waiting for, hurry up and give it to me to try!" The servant quickly went up to Soong Qiu'er, took the medicine bottle from her hands, and carefully applied it onto the man's body.

The shopkeeper couldn't even say a single word to stop her. If something were to happen to this medicine, he wouldn't be able to afford it!

As the servant smeared the medicine on his body, the man's expression became more and more unsightly. He even started to grit his teeth and look at Soong Qiu'er!

Everyone in the drugstore broke out in cold sweat, afraid that something would happen to the man. Only Soong Qiu'er looked at the man with a relaxed expression, as if she wasn't worried that anything would happen to him.

"Is this medicine really that magical?" The medicine boy said contemptuously, "What kind of miraculous effect can a medicine sold by a country girl have? Thankfully it's for external use, if something were to happen to you while you were taking it internally, we'll see what you can do."

Soong Qiu'er recognized this medicine boy when she was at the pharmacy. He was about the same age as her. She must have sold ninety taels of silver last time. Now, she finally found a chance to tell him.

"Ah!" The man suddenly let out a loud shout, giving everyone a fright. Even the servants who applied medicine on him began to tremble. They watched as he stood up with a pained expression and walked step by step towards Soong Qiu'er.
