Chapter 36 Chapter 36 The little ant who doesn’t know his own limitations…
The corners of Zhao Mingsheng's mouth couldn't help but twitch.
An older man in the crowd overheard their conversation and turned around to correct them, "What are these Qibao Hair Pills?"
Zhao Mingsheng had just breathed a sigh of relief, thinking that at last there was someone who understood, when he heard the uncle say righteously:
"It's clearly called Qibao Hair Growth Pills!"
The corners of Zhao Mingsheng's mouth couldn't help but twitch, and before he could catch his breath, it got stuck in his chest, and it was really uncomfortable to be stuck there.
When she finally recovered, she saw the two people in front of her were about to fight over whether to call it Qibao Hair Beauty Pills or Qibao Hair Growth Pills. She quickly changed the subject and raised another question:
"Then what are all these people doing here? Are they all here to buy medicine?"
There were crowds of people here, but they weren't queuing or looking like they were here to buy anything.
Sure enough, the old lady curled her lips and said in a depressed tone, "Those pills have already been reserved by those rich people. How can it be our turn?"
"That's right, we are here to watch the fun. The county magistrate's only son is interrogating Manager Yu about the secret recipe inside." The uncle agreed with a chuckle.
When Zhao Mingsheng heard that Shopkeeper Yu was in trouble, she was so angry that she quickly pushed through the crowd and went into the pharmacy.
Inside the pharmacy.
"Mr. Cui, I really don't have any secret recipes. Please don't make it difficult for me."
No matter how Shopkeeper Yu explained, the recipe for this pill was no different from that of ordinary hair-blackening pills. Cui Xin refused to believe it and insisted that there must be a secret ingredient.
So many people have spoken highly of the miraculous effects of the Seven Treasures Beard Pills, so Shopkeeper Yu must have been deliberately refusing to give them to him.
"Shopkeeper Yu, just sell me the prescription. I won't pay for it." He pulled out two silver ingots from his sleeve. "Here's one hundred taels of silver."
Shopkeeper Yu shook his head and didn't take the silver. If there really was a secret recipe, whether the hundred taels of silver could buy it was still a question. The problem was, he didn't have any right now. How could he conjure up a secret recipe for Cui Xin?
With a beautiful woman by his side, Cui Xin had already made a big promise before. If he couldn't get the prescription, he would lose face in front of the beautiful woman. In addition, there were so many people watching around, so he had to make Manager Yu hand over the prescription today no matter what.
Thinking of this, he no longer cared about maintaining his elegant demeanor and stepped forward to threaten: "Manager Yu, don't refuse a toast and drink a forfeit!"
He obviously came prepared and even brought two servants from home.
As soon as Cui Xin finished speaking, two tall servants behind him immediately stepped forward and surrounded Manager Yu on the left and right, as if they were going to destroy the place if he didn't give him the prescription.
Seeing this scene, Liu Yingying shivered and couldn't help but take a step back. She just wanted a pill, how could it develop into this?
She knew that this pharmacy had been open for more than ten years.
When she was seven or eight years old, her mother fell seriously ill. Her family had been destitute, having lost everything to her gambler father, and they had no money to spend. She searched every clinic and pharmacy in Qingkang Town, but when they heard she had no money, no one would sell her medicine.
In the end, it was the shopkeeper Yu who kindly prescribed a prescription for her.
Although my mother did not survive the serious illness and was sold to Yanliu Pavilion by her gambling father, she always remembered the kindness of Manager Yu.
Thinking of this, she bravely climbed onto Cui Xin's arm and said in a delicate voice, "Cui Lang, why don't you just forget it?" She softly comforted him, "I heard that Yanliu Pavilion has a new wine called Zuixianjiu today. Let's go. I'll accompany you back to have a couple of drinks..."
Before he could finish his words, his arm was violently thrown away.
Cui Xin's eyes were already red with anger, so how could he listen to her?
With so many people watching, he is now in a difficult situation. If he cannot get the prescription today, how can he maintain his dignity in Qingkang Town from now on?
Liu Yingying staggered, lost her pace, and fell heavily to the ground.
Her delicate palm was instantly scratched by the rough ground, and the pain was so severe that she almost cried.
The surroundings were in a mess, but no one dared to step forward to help her, and she was left on the ground like a broken rag doll.
"Are you okay?"
Through tearful eyes, Liu Yingying saw a slender, white, and green hand appear before her.
She tried to look up and saw the woman she had met once in Xiufang Pavilion, looking at her with a smile.
Her smile was so warm that Liu Yingying couldn't help but hold her hand.
Cui Xin's eyes lit up when he saw the woman he had met in Xiufang Pavilion before.
"What a coincidence, we meet this young lady again!"
Zhao Mingsheng ignored him completely and pulled Liu Yingying up from the ground with a little force. Noticing that her hand was injured, he turned to Shopkeeper Yu and said,
"Please, Manager Yu, bring some wound medicine so I can bandage this young lady."
Shopkeeper Yu didn't expect her to show up at this time. Just as he was about to persuade her to leave quickly, he was told to get the medicine.
He sighed, thinking that this girl was very stubborn. Even if he tried to persuade her, she wouldn't leave easily. So he had to go get the medicine for her.
Cui Xin, who was left aside, felt ashamed and his face was gloomy. No one in Qingkang Town dared to ignore him like this.
Just as he was about to get angry, he caught a glimpse of the wound on Liu Yingying's hand. The fresh wound was still oozing blood, which dripped onto the ground one by one and blossomed into small red lotuses.
This calmed him down a little, and he was not the kind of person who was unkind to women.
Cui Xin cleared his throat and said uncomfortably, "Yingying, are you okay? I didn't mean to do that just now."
Liu Yingying had already controlled her expression. Although her heart was chilled, it did not show on her face at all.
"Don't blame Cui Lang, it's my fault that I didn't stand firmly."
After all, Cui Xin was the son of the county magistrate, so how could a little singer like her afford to offend him?
Hearing Liu Yingying say this, the slight sense of guilt in Cui Xin's heart disappeared.
Yes, it’s not his fault, she fell down by herself!
After this interruption, the tense situation eased slightly.
"Manager Yu, are you going to give me this prescription or not?" Cui Xin snorted coldly and issued an ultimatum.
Shopkeeper Yu sighed. Why didn't he believe it? The reason why the Qibao Meiran Pills were so effective was because of the high quality of the medicinal ingredients.
As for the source of this medicinal material...
He looked up at Zhao Mingsheng and decided not to say anything so as not to involve her.
Seeing that Shopkeeper Yu refused to speak, Cui Xin sneered, "Then don't blame me for being rude!"
He waved his hand, commanded the two servants, and shouted angrily: "Smash this store for me!"
Zhao Mingsheng had just bandaged Liu Yingying's wound when he heard Cui Xin say he wanted to smash the store, so he immediately stepped forward to block it.
"stop."
A delicate young woman stood in front of them, two heads shorter than them. The two tall and strong men sneered and didn't take her seriously. They picked up a stool and smashed it against the counter.
Unexpectedly, as soon as he raised the stool in his hand, he felt a sharp pain in his wrist, as if hit by something. The stool slipped from his hand and hit his toes, making him scream in pain.
A cold voice came from the door.
"Who dares?"
Zhao Mingsheng looked in the direction of the voice. The doorway that was crowded when she came in had suddenly been split open into a path at some point.
Yan Zhuo stood in the middle, with a calm face and a majestic air without even getting angry.
The aura he exuded was so overwhelming that the originally noisy crowd dared not even breathe.
Zhao Mingsheng was stunned for a moment. He didn't expect King Heng to appear here.
Cui Xin was also shocked. When did such a person appear in Qingkang Town?
But he quickly realized that a powerful dragon cannot defeat a local snake. He had two people on his side, so what was there to be afraid of?
"My father is the county magistrate! What should I be afraid of?" He glanced arrogantly at the man with extraordinary demeanor, turned around and found that the two people behind him did not move at all, so he kicked one of them.
"What are you two standing there for? Keep smashing!"
Zhao Mingsheng took a deep breath. She really admired Cui Xin. If he knew that the person in front of him was the famous God of War Yan Zhuo, she wondered if he would still have the courage to stay in this world.
As the two servants took a step forward, the man's cold gaze swept over them, and they immediately froze in place.
They felt that the man in front of them was unfathomable, but under Cui Xin's repeated urging, they had no choice but to go ahead.
He waved his fist as big as a steamed bun and rushed towards the man while roaring.
Although the man at the door had a strong aura, he did not look strong enough. The onlookers seemed to have seen the ending, and many of them closed their eyes, unable to bear to watch any further.
But before they could get close, Yan Zhuo moved.
The speed was so fast that many people couldn't react to what happened, as if it only happened in a moment.
The two aggressive men didn't even touch the corner of the man's clothes, and the man flew backwards.
It hit the ground heavily, stirring up a cloud of dust.
The two men covered their chests and wailed, unable to get up for a long time.
Cui Xin didn't expect this man to be so strong. When that cold gaze swept over him again, his legs trembled and he almost couldn't stand. He was afraid that he would be thrown out like his two useless servants in the next second.
Yan Zhuo came to the pharmacy for important matters and didn't want to get too entangled with such trash.
Then his throat moved slightly and he uttered a word.
"roll."
After hearing these words, Cui Xin felt relieved and ran out of the pharmacy quickly.
He thought he was in a safe place, but he still made some harsh remarks.
"I'll remember you! We'll see!"
After saying this, Cui Xin crawled away with his two servants.
Zhao Mingsheng was really worried about their lives. Who did he think he was talking to?
This is King Heng!
Being able to stop a child from crying is not just talk.
"Thank you for helping us out." In front of everyone, Zhao Mingsheng did not reveal his identity.
Yan Zhuo nodded slightly, looked at the shopkeeper Yu and said, "Do you have any good wound medicine?"
Zhao Mingsheng's heart suddenly tightened, "But is anyone injured?"
She looked at Yan Zhuo, who seemed full of energy. He didn't look injured, did he? Then she looked behind him and was surprised to find that Jing Liu was not there today.
"It was Jingliu who was injured."
Zhao Mingsheng noticed that there was a rare hint of worry on Yan Zhuo's face.
It seems that Jing Liu was seriously injured, otherwise he wouldn't be so worried.
So she volunteered, "Let me go with you and take a look! Maybe I can help in some way."
