Chapter 7 I can only help you so far
The spirits of our ancestors are like an extra layer of protection.
Then the chances of success in doing anything will be greater.
At least, some of the unfavorable factors can be eliminated.
But if the 'spirits' in the ancestral hall, that is, the ancestors, are gone, it would be an extremely dangerous thing for anyone in the village.
Because this invisible protection is gone.
Then after entering the water, the probability of drowning will increase greatly. If you fall from a big tree, you will be seriously injured if not killed. Nothing you do will go as smoothly as you expected.
Even if there was nothing wrong originally, it may turn into something wrong.
Chen Yushu was familiar with the memories of his previous life and was also aware of some of the circumstances of this world. He immediately understood a little, but he still asked, "Why is it gone?"
“In fact, the Liu family is not originally from our Beijiao Village.
It was only thirty years ago that their family moved in with the permission of the village elders.
However, the Liu family has indeed made great contributions to the village, and even to our entire Beijiao Village.
The main reason was that there was a witch in the Liu family at that time.
He is a man who is more capable than Uncle Zhong. He is a man who truly understands the Yin and has great skills.
Because of the witch, our village has hardly suffered any disasters, and we even prevented a disaster that almost wiped out the entire Beijiao Village.
The whole village is actually very grateful to her family.”
He paused and continued, “But ten years ago, the ghost woman had an accident and died outside.
Because of this, the 'Yin' that her family sealed at that time rioted and killed all the 'spirits' in the village's ancestral hall.
Later, it was Liu Yong, Liu Qiaoer's father, who took action to quell the rebellion.
But he himself died in that turmoil.
Therefore, although the disaster was caused by the Liu family, it was only settled because of the intervention of her family.
Plus, in the end, only the orphan and the widow were left alive in the Liu family... The villagers still respected morality and didn't drive them out, but their attitude towards them, mother and daughter, certainly wasn't very kind."
Hearing this, Chen Yushu suddenly understood.
The "spirits" in the ancestral hall are equivalent to the ancestors of every household in the village.
Their ancestors were killed, and even though the Liu family had been very kind to the villagers in the past, they could not forgive them at all.
But precisely because of this, Chen Yushu also confirmed that Liu Qiaoer was definitely not a simple person.
She definitely saw the 'ghost' when it came out just now.
Even at the end, when the ghost was about to pounce on him, it was most likely her or her mother who took action.
And according to what her father said, her family had a ghost witch who was "connected with the underworld" and "had some spiritual power." So does that mean that her family is also very likely to have the corresponding spiritual practice inheritance?
And her family's inheritance would be more advanced than Uncle Zhong's?
Suddenly, Chen Yushu's mind began to waver.
He was extremely curious and eager about that business.
In particular, for some unknown reason, he found that he had become special and could see ghosts during the day.
He didn't know if his 'spirit' was 'enough', but the feeling of seeing 'ghosts' so often and being helpless made him feel helpless and powerless.
If this continued, he estimated that even if he was not killed, he would become a nervous breakdown.
"You have to learn the skills as soon as possible."
Chen Yushu sighed inwardly, and his gaze became determined.
As they were talking, they arrived at the door of a drug store.
This is the purpose of their trip, the Liu family pharmacy.
Looking through the door of the drugstore, it was very spacious, with rows of medicine cabinets arranged in an orderly manner. There were four or five medicine boys busy inside, preparing and decocting medicines. From a long distance away, he could smell the various special medicinal odors inside.
In addition, there were doctors, shopkeepers, patients, coughing, and talking sounds mixed together.
Chen Baihe brought Chen Yushu inside, looked around briefly, and then quickly walked towards a middle-aged man in his forties or fifties, bowing slightly while saying politely, "Manager Zhou, are you busy?"
"It's Xiao Chen, you're here to deliver the medicine.
It’s still the same old rules. You can just leave it in the backyard, and someone will help you count and record it.”
The Liu Family Pharmacy is the largest pharmacy in Jianghuan Town. Although they have their own medicinal fields, the demand for mountain products and medicinal materials is still very high.
Moreover, there are many good things in the mountains, especially some spiritual materials and precious medicines, which are extremely difficult to grow only by planting in medicinal fields.
Therefore, they are very polite to the herbalists who can deliver medicinal materials steadily.
"Manager Zhou, can you please excuse me for a moment?"
Chen Baihe spoke cautiously, then walked to the corner at the signal of Manager Zhou, and then said, "Take a look at this."
As he said this, he carefully took out a wooden box from his arms.
He carefully protected the box all the way, touching it from time to time to confirm whether it was still there. He only felt relieved when he entered the pharmacy.
"Um?"
Manager Zhou was stunned for a moment, then opened the wooden box. His eyes soon lit up and he kept saying, "Hundred-year-old mountain ginseng, precious medicinal ginseng seeds, Xiao Chen, you are quite lucky.
This precious ginseng seed is in perfect condition and is worth at least thirty taels of silver.
Of course, I still need to ask the shopkeeper to check the exact amount before I can confirm it."
"Manager Zhou, it's like this.
I heard that your pharmacy has a rule that if you can collect precious herbs, you can send them to work as apprentices in your pharmacy..."
Hearing this, Chen Baihe breathed a sigh of relief and then spoke carefully.
"That's exactly what happened."
Manager Zhou nodded, glanced at Chen Yushu who was standing next to Chen Baihe, and said, "But if you do this, you'll lose your ginseng seeds, and we won't have any money to give you."
"That's good, that's good."
Chen Baihe nodded repeatedly, obviously knowing this rule long ago, and said, "This is my son, Chen Yushu.
This time, I want to use this precious ginseng seed to exchange for the opportunity for my son to become an apprentice in your Liu family pharmacy."
"Meet Manager Zhou."
Chen Yushu was also very well-behaved and spoke quickly.
“That’s clever.
How old are you? Can you read?
Manager Zhou nodded and asked casually.
"He's twelve years old. He's been in a private school for two years and can already read."
Chen Baihe on the side said in a supportive manner.
“That’s good, I don’t have to learn from scratch.
Fine, I'll take it. You guys discuss it, and I'll go and let the shopkeeper know."
Manager Zhou pondered for a moment, but without any hesitation, he walked into the pharmacy.
“Yushu, Daddy doesn’t have much ability, I can only help you up to this point.
The Liu family's pharmacy is well-known in the town. You must be diligent and learn well. If you learn well, you may become a doctor and learn martial arts as well."
Chen Baihe looked at Chen Yushu and spoke.
"Don't worry, I will."
Chen Yushu nodded, feeling a little excited.
