Chapter 73 The Mysterious King
Private messages from the background came pouring in like snowflakes, but Jiang Ci didn't read any of them. He just calmly opened the friend list, found one of them, sent all the buyer information backed up from Wang Liang's phone, and immediately went offline.
At the same time, at Base 95.
In a spotless laboratory.
A black-haired man in a lab coat was concentrating on research.
Suddenly he heard a long-lost beeping sound from the computer. He was stunned at first, and then his heart started beating wildly!
After realizing what was happening, he dropped everything and ran to the computer in a hurry.
【Your friend King sent you a message】
The black-haired man's stern face was immediately covered with deep ecstasy, and he opened the video call without saying a word.
[Your friend King has gone offline ten seconds ago]
But he was not disappointed at all. He quickly opened the message box and clicked on the file she sent.
It was filled with dense information, and I only saw a message she left at the end.
Oh, it’s not a sentence, just three short words.
【Special medicine】
The black-haired man couldn't help laughing, but tears welled up in his eyes: "It really is King. After twenty years, you finally showed up! Wuwuwuwu..."
God knows how long he has been waiting for this moment!
When the subordinates saw the man crying and laughing, they were all stunned.
"It's been almost ten years since I arrived at the base, and I've never seen the professor smile. What's wrong with him?"
"Yes, Professor X is always serious and cold, and he doesn't talk much, but he just used a foul language."
The black-haired man quickly gathered his emotions and began rapidly tapping away on the keyboard, trying to track down King's IP location.
What disappointed him a little was that King had intentionally concealed her location, and he only found out that she was within China.
But it’s better than having no news from her for twenty years!
"China, I'm going to China!" The black-haired man took off his lab coat and rushed out like a monkey.
A group of subordinates were stunned and hurriedly tried to stop him, saying, "Professor X, you can't leave. The project is not yet completed!"
The black-haired man had disappeared.
Subordinates: “…”
Suddenly I really wanted to know who had the ability to kidnap Professor X.
…
The other side.
Jiang Ci came out of the black Internet cafe and continued to go to the pharmacy to look for suitable medicinal materials.
After the red-clothed female ghost saw that she really wanted to buy medicinal herbs, she said, "I do know a small, shabby shop that sells the medicinal herbs you mentioned."
Afterwards, she brought Jiang Ci to the shabby little shop.
It’s no wonder that the red-clothed female ghost said that, the shop is indeed shabby and old, and at first glance, it is so messy that it looks like a junk collector’s shop.
There was only a white-haired old man in the store.
The red-clothed female ghost said, "This old man had seen Wang Liang selling immortality water outside a pharmacy before. He went up to him and argued with him, saying he was a liar, but he pushed the old man to the ground."
"I heard from people nearby that the old man has been selling medicinal herbs for nearly 60 years. The medicines he prescribes are very cheap, but his business is not doing well now. He is about to go bankrupt."
Jiang Ci looked at the couplet in front of the door: "I would rather let the medicine on the shelf gather dust, than let people in the world be free of disease."
Yes, many years ago, drugstores only served to cure diseases and save lives, but nowadays, drugstores are committed to maximizing financial profits.
Almost every drugstore has signs saying things like buy a few, get a few free, get eggs for membership, etc., to attract people to buy medicine.
This little shabby shop really has some good stuff.
Because she was standing at the door, she could smell the fresh scent of medicinal herbs. She knew the quality here was much better than those in pharmacies.
"Little girl, do you want to see a doctor?" The old Chinese doctor asked her kindly while sitting in front of a small table.
"No, I'm here to buy some herbs." Jiang Ci walked into the store and handed him a list.
After looking at the herbs on the list, the old Chinese doctor smiled and said, "I have all of these herbs here, but some of them are a little more expensive."
"It's okay. I have two thousand yuan here. You can buy the medicine." Jiang Ci took out the money readily.
The old Chinese doctor smiled and said, "Not so much. Thirty yuan for one dose. How many doses do you want?"
Jiang Ci was a little surprised.
Are there still Chinese medicine prescriptions that cost thirty yuan these days? Moreover, she added several rare and precious medicinal materials to the prescription she wrote, so she originally estimated that it would cost at least a hundred yuan per prescription.
"One dose of medicine a day, give me ten doses first."
"Little girl, the effect of your prescription is quite strong. I suggest you take one dose of medicine for three days."
When the old Chinese doctor heard that she needed a dose of medicine for a day, he was very surprised and quickly reminded her.
Jiang Ci knew that the old Chinese doctor had good intentions, so he smiled faintly: "Okay."
Of course, others couldn't stand such a strong drug effect, but she could.
The old Chinese doctor quickly prepared ten prescriptions and put them in a plastic bag for her.
Jiang Ci paid three hundred yuan.
"Wait a minute, little girl. I'll give you some medicine to clear away heat and detoxify. The weather is hot, so you can soak it in water and drink it." The old Chinese doctor said, and took out a large bag of dried Isatis root.
Jiang Ci gave him the money.
The old Chinese doctor smiled kindly and said, "No need to give it to me. This is not worth much. Take it and drink it. If it's not enough, come back to me for more."
Jiang Ci also smiled: "Then let me give you a divination. It is not suitable to travel at night today. You should close the shop early and go home to rest."
The old Chinese doctor didn't take it seriously at first because he usually didn't close his shop until after 11 o'clock at night.
But as he watched her leave with two large bags of herbs, he thought about how he had finally earned thirty yuan today and could finally lavishly buy his wife some pork ribs to make soup. So he closed the shop and happily went to the vegetable market while the meat was fresh at the morning market.
Jiang Ci took the medicine back to the incense and candle shop and borrowed a clay pot from Grandma Hao to boil the medicine.
"That handsome guy said if you come back at noon, don't run around, he will bring you some delicious food." Hao You checked the time, "He's almost here."
Just as he finished speaking, a heavy truck rumbled over and stopped in front of the shop.
"Hey, driver, we don't allow big trucks to park here, move away!" Hao You shouted hurriedly, "You're blocking the entrance to my company!"
The car door opened.
The person who jumped out of the car was actually Bo Hanzhou.
"Handsome guy?" Hao You complained, "This road is already narrow. You parked such a big car here and blocked the road. Others don't have to pass through. And what's in your car?"
Bo Hanzhou had a bright smile on his handsome face. "Food, come and help me move all the things down, so I can move the car."
"Food?!" Hao You and Grandma Hao were stunned.
“Is this truck full of food?”
"Handsome guy, are you sure? This much food could fill up a basketball court!"
Bo Hanzhou smiled but said nothing.
That’s because Master Jiang has a big appetite!
How can we not prepare more?
And it’s not all food, there are also daily necessities and the like.
Because he found that Jiang Ci didn't like to go home, but liked to go to the incense and candle shop.
