Chapter Three
Xie Le lay with his hands on the pillow under the medicine rack in the backyard, looking at the sky, and his thoughts began to wander.
Uncle Qi once told me that I was the only son of the previous emperor. My family and country were destroyed, and my relatives were killed. My father knew that the situation was decided and there was nothing he could do to save me. After entrusting me to his cronies, he dragged me here alone.
Jun, eventually died in battle. The scar on my face was also left when Uncle Qi took me to escape.
Although Uncle Qi didn't explicitly say that I must take revenge, I also think that although I don't have much love for my parents, the grace of giving birth makes me think that it is my responsibility to take revenge on my parents.
Uncle Qi has been dead for four years, and I am seventeen years old, but I still have no power to restrain a chicken. Yesterday I just looked at the front army from a distance, and its majesty was enough to make me tremble with fear. It is really useless.
.
If I am strong in martial arts, I will join the front army, make great contributions, take the opportunity to get close to the emperor, seal his throat with a sword, and avenge my hatred. Then I will wander around the world, act chivalrous and righteous, and leave my deeds in the world. The last thing
Once you are successful, find a place with stunning scenery to spend the rest of your life.
No, the emperor is the king of a country, and there are so many soldiers and generals. Even if I am superb in martial arts, I will still be unable to defeat four people with two fists. Anyway, I have never heard of any martial arts that can defeat a thousand people or a hundred people.
It's all very difficult. And there are archers, so the sky will be filled with arrows. It's very dangerous.
In this case, I have to find a way to make long-range weapons such as bows and arrows ineffective against me, and maybe poisonous fog or something. And if I am about to succeed, but they take someone I value as a hostage...
.
So before that, I have to place Yucheng in a safe place, along with Yucheng's relatives, Aunt Zhao, Tao Bo, the shopkeepers of the other two pharmacies, and Grandma Luo, who are also very good to me, and they have to be placed there too.
, after calculation, there were still a lot of people.
Ah, it would be great if I had the abilities of the legendary immortals. I could fly a thousand meters in a day with my sword. I could live for hundreds of years with just a flick of my finger. I could split rocks and break trees with just one palm. I could get revenge in an instant.
Without seeing something, even imagination seems poor, and the same is true for Xie Le.
His thoughts were wandering, and there was no logic at all. After thinking about it, Xie Le had already deviated from the original theme and turned to the question of whether immortals exist. If immortals do not exist, then do dragons and phoenixes exist? Although dragons and phoenixes seem to be more powerful than the legendary immortals.
Even more powerful, but there are many more legends about him than the legends about immortals.
A teenager is a teenager after all. Even if he is already a shopkeeper and his life is more complicated than ordinary people, at this age he is still as playful and yearning for these illusory things.
"Xie Le." A soft call pulled Xie Le back from his own imagination.
Xie Le turned around and saw Liu Yucheng looking at him lying under the medicine shelf at the back door.
Liu Yucheng glared at Xie Le: "Come to the store to help. You only tease me every day, and I don't see you doing more serious work." After saying that, Liu Yucheng immediately returned to the store to greet the customers.
Seeing Liu Yucheng like this, Xie Le immediately came out from under the medicine shelf with a smile, stood up, and patted the green robe on his body. Smelling a wisp of fragrance, Xie Le sniffed his hands in confusion, and then rubbed them.
His own head: "What does this little girl use to wash her hair? Why doesn't my hair smell so good?" After complaining, Xie Le hurried to the store.
Although I have deep hatred and hatred, I have no great ambitions. I am very satisfied with this life. I don't seek wealth and honor, but only peace and security.
"Doctor, please help me find out what's wrong with me." A man asked with a weak face, "I've been coughing and sweating a lot lately."
Xie Le took a look and asked: "Do you ever feel like you can't use your strength and are afraid of being blown by the wind?"
The man nodded after hearing this: "Yes, yes, that's it. Doctor, what kind of disease do I have?"
Xie Le nodded: "It's nothing serious, it's just a lack of lung energy. I need to take a rest and do less work these days. Do you understand?"
"I know, I know, thank you, doctor." The man nodded.
"Well, you go over there and pay for the medicine. Next one." Xie Le looked at the back, there were several people, and thought to himself, no one will come when there is no one around, but everyone will follow when there is no one around.
Xie Le took a peek at Liu Yucheng who was taking the medicine. He looked very elegant in his plain robe. His soft hair had already been tied behind his head and was messed up by Xie Le. He looked at the scale with a pair of almond-shaped eyes, and his slender fingers moved from the medicine.
He grabbed some more medicine from the cabinet and put it on the scale, focusing very much on the work at hand. Xie Le seemed to smell the fragrance again, Wu Wenlong's words rang in his mind, and his ears began to turn red again.
"Doctor, doctor, what disease do I have?"
"Ah? I'm sorry, please say it again." Xie Le came back to his senses and thought, maybe Uncle Qi wants me to live such a peaceful life, otherwise he wouldn't tell me my life experience until he was about to die.
.
Xie Le lay on the counter and looked at the increasingly sparse crowds on the street, and said, "There should be nothing to do today. Are you going back?"
Liu Yucheng, who was sitting next to Xie Le, looked outside the street, then at the sky, then looked back at Xie Le, and blinked his big eyes twice: "Xie Le."
"Huh?" Xie Le raised his head with one hand and looked at Liu Yucheng.
"Do you want me to go home now? Or stay here with you for a while?"
"Ah?" Xie Le didn't come back to his senses.
"I mean..."
Before Liu Yucheng could finish speaking, Xie Le looked away from Liu Yucheng and interrupted: "I'm free to do whatever you want."
"Oh, that's it." Liu Yucheng stood up, "Then I'll come back tomorrow morning. See you tomorrow."
"Yeah." Xie Le lay on the counter again, watching Liu Yucheng's leaving figure and disappearing around the corner of the street.
A trace of loneliness rose in my heart.
"Actually, I hope you can stay a little longer."
"Actually, I hope you will let me stay a little longer."
Liu Yucheng looked at Xie Le lying on his stomach in the store at the corner of the street, then turned and left.
Xie Le closed the door of the store and went to the medicine shelf in the backyard. He scratched the rehmannia glutinosa in the medicine sieve a few times with his fingers, touched the scar on his left face with his hand, and sighed: "What does it mean that I look like this?"
At this moment Xie Le seemed to have made a decision in his heart, don't think too much, just be friends. Xie Le didn't know that he would deliberately avoid it many times in the future.
Xie Le, who had never worried about the scars on his face before, now thinks a lot about his appearance.
Xie Le put all the medicines on the medicine shelf into the house, closed the back door, and went back.
Xie Le returned to his cabin and sat on the bed, took out a mirror,
After taking the photo for a long time, he lifted up all the hair on his forehead, looked at the scar and muttered: "Is it smaller than before?" I had never looked at this scar carefully before, and Uncle Qi also said before that it seemed like it
It's a little smaller, but I never noticed it. I thought it was because I grew up a little that it looked smaller. Now when I look closely, it seems to be a little smaller. Although it is still a big piece, the color has become closer to normal skin.
It's not as obvious as before. Will it suddenly get better in the future? If so, it will be fine.
Xie Le pondered for a while and put down the mirror and looked at the roof. What should I eat tonight? In fact, I am not very hungry, and it is still early and it is still very bright outside. Hey, just deal with it casually.
"Miss is back." "I got it, let me know so we can prepare dinner." Liu Changqing was still reading the books on the desk.
I heard that the Liu family only developed in Yunbian City in recent years. Before the development of the Liu family, Yunbian City did not even have a decent drug store. This small border town is far away from the county with medical capabilities. Once the residents get sick, only
I use some folk remedies that I don’t know where to spread to treat the disease, and I don’t know if it works. Anyway, if you can survive it, you will survive. If you can’t survive, you basically have to prepare for the funeral. After the Liu family developed, they immediately formulated medical regulations in Yunbian City.
Opening a drug store. The four drug stores in Yunbian City used to be owned by the Liu family, but later they all dispersed for unknown reasons.
At the same time, in order to meet the needs of the drug store, the Liu family also got involved in business, starting commercial transactions with other towns to purchase medicinal materials and other daily necessities, which greatly promoted the development of Yunbian City and improved the lives of residents.
Doctors were originally respected by the people, and Liu Changqing's actions made him even more beloved. When the city leader changed, Liu Changqing was the most popular, but he did not choose to be the city leader, and gave the throne back to the old city leader because he did not understand politics.
In the backyard of Liu's house, Liu Yucheng was sitting on the corridor, watching the goldfish swimming back and forth in the pond and becoming trance-like.
A woman in her fifties patted Liu Yucheng's shoulder: "Miss, it's time to eat. I called you several times, but you didn't respond, so I patted you."
"Well, okay Aunt Wang, go and tell my dad that I will come right away."
"Then I'll tell the master first. Miss, come here soon." Aunt Wang nodded and left.
Liu Yucheng came to his senses, stood up, looked up at the nest of swallows on the eaves, and walked towards the dining room.
At the dining table, Liu Changqing looked at Liu Yucheng who was motionless holding chopsticks: "Yucheng, these are your favorite dishes, why don't you eat them?"
Liu Changqing saw that Liu Yucheng ignored him and continued: "Are you feeling uncomfortable somewhere? Come on, let me show you."
"I don't feel uncomfortable at all, Dad." Liu Yucheng said while inserting his chopsticks into the bowl a few times.
"Oh, I understand. Did Xie Le bully you again? Eat quickly, eat quickly. I will go to him with you tomorrow to vent your anger."
"No." Liu Yucheng raised his head and raised his voice, "How dare he bully me?"
Seeing that Liu Yucheng had regained his composure, Liu Changqing smiled and said, "Hahaha, I knew it was indeed related to Xie Le. I know you like him. Tomorrow, my father will tell him in person that you like him and ask him to marry you right away.
"
"Dad, who said I liked him? I was just thinking about whether his seventh uncle passed away and whether he could eat well by himself. Really." Liu Yucheng immediately lowered his head again, his face flushed.
"Hahaha, okay, whatever you say is what it is. Since you are so worried about him, you can ask him to come to your house to eat together tomorrow."
"Really?" Liu Yucheng raised his head and looked at Liu Changqing with a smile.
"Really, when have I ever lied to you?" Liu Changqing said, patting his chest.
"Hehehe, thank you dad, I knew you were the best," Liu Yucheng said coquettishly, blinking her big eyes twice.
"Then you need to eat well now." Liu Changqing breathed a sigh of relief. It would be bad if this little girl ruined her body if she didn't eat.
"Yeah, I promise."
The bright moon hangs high in the sky, and from time to time there is the sound of grasshoppers calling at Shufeng Dam.
"Report, General, the troops that set out to suppress the wild beasts this morning are back."
"Yeah, I got it." General Ye stood up and walked out of the tent. He saw the body of a tiger lying in the open space in the camp. The tiger was huge, but it was missing an ear and a section of its tail, and it looked different.
