Chapter 274: Want to Make a Gas Mask
Liang Jingyao's heart tightened. He didn't expect the other party to be so cunning and actually turn to attack Yangmingshan!
"Yue'er, I'm going to Yangming Mountain to support Jiacheng and the others. You stay here and don't run around!" Liang Jingyao understood Lin Xiaoyue's temperament and reminded her before leaving.
Facing a powerful enemy, Lin Xiaoyue was not the type to be confused. She patted her chest and assured him, "Don't worry, Brother Liang. Even if you're not here, Dad will be watching over me. I'm definitely not going anywhere!"
Seeing that Lin Xiaoyue didn't seem to be perfunctory, Liang Jingyao felt relieved and led a large group of people to Yangming Mountain.
In fact, Lin Xiaoyue could probably guess that the attackers this time must be from Jianghu Ling again, otherwise where would those strange and bizarre hidden weapons come from?
"Dad, Dad! Do you have any medicinal powder that can detoxify most poisons?" Lin Xiaoyue hurriedly ran to lift up the drunkard's tent.
Hearing the noise, the drunkard got up from the bed and said, "Of course, how much do you want?"
Lin Xiaoyue replied: "A lot. I want to make one or two hundred masks, and then put the powder in the interlayer of the mask, so I won't be afraid of the poison powder."
The drunkard asked nervously, "What happened? Wasn't the attacker chased away? Did something happen again?"
Lin Xiaoyue sighed and said, "There was news just now that the retreating troops turned around and attacked the Cheetah Army guarding Yangming Mountain. Several Cheetah Army soldiers have been killed. Zheng Jiacheng and his men are still fighting desperately. Brother Liang led his troops to Yangming Mountain as soon as he heard the news."
It was impossible for Jiu Laoguai to not worry, but he had already used up half of the remaining herbs. Liang Jingyao still had several tough battles to fight, and casualties were inevitable, so the remaining herbs became even more precious!
"Girl, is the mask you want to make to cover the mouth and nose?" asked the old drunkard curiously.
Lin Xiaoyue nodded and said, "Yes. Dad, are you worried that I can't make so many masks? In fact, I can mobilize the people in Yangming Town and pay them to make them. That way, not to mention one or two hundred, even hundreds can be made!"
The old drunkard said with regret, "Your idea is a good one, but unfortunately I don't have many herbs left. You need to make so many masks, so you'll need a lot of herbs. If I give them all to you, there will be nothing left for the others to use."
Lin Xiaoyue knew that there were still many medicinal herbs in her space, all of which were good medicinal herbs moved from the Imperial Hospital in the palace, but how should she give them to the old monster Jiu now?
"How about this, Dad, you write me a prescription for detoxification first. I'll take it to the pharmacies on the street and ask who is willing to sell it to me. I will buy these herbs even if they pay double the money!" Lin Xiaoyue said confidently.
The drunkard didn't want to attack Lin Xiaoyue, but he had indeed been turned away by those shops before, so he tried to dissuade her, "Girl, you'd better not go. What if Jing Yao can beat those people? Let's wait and see. Those two pharmacies on the street are the smartest of the smart. Not to mention double the money, even if you give them ten times, they may not be willing to sell to you. I've tried it anyway."
Lin Xiaoyue asked curiously, "Dad, we had plenty of medicinal herbs before, why did you think of going to those shops to buy them?"
The drunkard explained, "Even if there were plenty, half of it would have been used up by now. I was also preparing for a rainy day and wanted to buy more, but the owners of those pharmacies said they only prescribe medicine for ordinary people. As for our war with the court, they can't do anything about it, nor do they want to. Alas, these people don't want to offend us or the court, so they use ordinary people as a shield, and no one can do anything to them."
Lin Xiaoyue nodded. So that was the case. However, she already had the space in her own and was just borrowing the names of those pharmacies. So the old drunkard's concerns were unnecessary.
"Dad, please write to me first and I'll ask everyone one by one. Maybe there will be a miracle!"
When Lin Xiaoyue spoke, her eyes were shining as she looked at Jiu Laoguai, who couldn't bear to say no.
"Okay, don't make it too hard on yourself. If it really doesn't work, we can think of another way!" The drunkard nodded helplessly and agreed.
After a while, Lin Xiaoyue went out with a prescription in her pocket.
The sky was already slightly bright at this time, but the shops on the street had not yet opened. However, Lin Xiaoyue didn't care. Ever since Liang Jingyao occupied the city gate to fight, few shops in the city were open.
"Knock knock knock, knock knock knock!" Lin Xiaoyue stood at the door of the first pharmacy and knocked on the door.
The door creaked open a little, and a head popped out. "Who is this? Disturbing my sleep so early in the morning! Master doesn't see patients at this time!"
Lin Xiaoyue stuffed a piece of silver into the bag and said anxiously, "Little Master, I have something urgent to do and need to buy some medicine. Can you please make some arrangements?"
The man recognized Lin Xiaoyue's face and returned the silver to her, saying, "There's no point in being anxious!"
As he said that, the man closed the door with a "click".
Lin Xiaoyue was a little annoyed that she had been cheated for the first time, but fortunately there was a pharmacy on the street, so she walked forward.
“Boom boom boom!”
"Is anyone there?" Lin Xiaoyue shouted while knocking on the door.
This time, the man who opened the door was generous and directly opened the door of the pharmacy to let Lin Xiaoyue in.
"I'm Xiong Yan, the owner of this store. Is there anything I can help you with, young lady?" Xiong Yan asked.
Lin Xiaoyue took out a prescription from her bosom and said, "I need some medicinal herbs. Do you have any in your store?"
Xiong Yan took the prescription, looked at it carefully, nodded, and asked, "Yes, I do. How much do you need, young lady?"
Lin Xiaoyue pointed at the prescription and said, "This is the dosage for one dose of medicine. Please make me one or two hundred doses. The more the better!"
Xiong Yan was a little surprised, then he thought of something and asked tentatively, "Miss, are you in the same group as those who are fighting against the imperial court?"
Lin Xiaoyue admitted openly, "Yes, don't worry, I won't give you even a tael of silver."
Xiong Yan stuffed the prescription directly back into Lin Xiaoyue's hands and said apologetically, "I'm sorry, girl, I don't have that many herbs!"
Lin Xiaoyue felt a surge of anger, but now was the time to ask for help. She took a deep breath and asked kindly, "Shopkeeper Xiong, aren't you open for business? Why is this happening?"
Xiong Yan, with a smile on his face, explained, "Firstly, we are a small pharmacy and don't have that much inventory. Secondly, if I sell everything to you, what will happen if the people here get sick? You should find someone else, young lady!"
As the saying goes, don't hit a smiling person. Lin Xiaoyue finally understood the drunkard's feelings. Xiong Yan spoke in such a gentle manner that she really couldn't do anything about him!
But luckily, I have a backup plan!
"Shopkeeper Xiong, what if I only need one dose of medicine? Can you give it to me?"
