Chapter 7 Agarwood Pharmacy

Yun Po had already inquired enough while sitting among the women all afternoon.

The man in front of him is Uncle Bo, the shopkeeper of the pharmacy, and he is married to Qiniang, the pharmacist.On weekdays, Uncle Li Bai is in charge of collecting the bills and housekeeping, Qiniang is in charge of collecting and picking up medicines, and the husband and wife follow along, which is very enviable.

Uncle Bai, surnamed Bai and named Shu, is said to have known Xue Banxia many years ago, and his relationship with Xue Banxia is not like an employment relationship.Bai Shu is often jumped up by Xue Banxia's anger, saying that his behavior is frivolous, his hair is too messy, and he often goes to restaurants to drink and is not good enough. Compared with Xue Suyi, he and Xue Banxia are more like brothers.

Boss Fu once saw Uncle Bai denounce Xue Banxia in front of the patient, and Xue Banxia accepted the baptism of the storm with a smile, but the expression in his eyes was "you wait, I will clean you up later".After seeing such a beautiful and harmonious scene, Boss Fu commented that he is a rare good man who is not afraid of power and deterrence by force.

In fact, the so-called Uncle Bai is not a few years older than Xue Banxia, ​​just because Xue Banxia said that normal people at this age have children running all over the place, and calling him Uncle Bai can urge him to have children as soon as possible, so everyone followed suit, even the old lady. Following the trend and calling him uncle, the 31-year-old Bai Shu really wanted to cry.

Qiniang, Lianqiye, from Xihai Haka.It is said that he inherited his parents' footsteps and became a traveling doctor in the West Sea, and he is proficient in the pharmacology of the West Sea.When Xue Banxia rescued Qiniang who was dying, Uncle Bai and Qiniang fell in love with each other during their travels, and after several twists and turns, they finally became a couple.

Qiniang is like many women in their thirties, she is very maternal, and her heart is full of tenderness.Although he often accused Uncle Bai of taking too much care, he would still talk about Xue Banxia earnestly when he turned his head. The scene was as warm as if the parents were caring about their children.

In addition to her excellent knowledge of pharmacology, Qiniang's embroidery skills are also excellent. Xue Banxia's clothes are all brought from the Central Plains, and they are just plain clothes, but Qiniang always treats Xue Banxia as her own child, thinking that his face should still be worn. Brighter colors are more beautiful, so whenever I have free time, I start to embroider those clothes with gorgeous and complicated patterns, creating the image of Xue Banxia as a playboy.

Yun Po's laughter made Uncle Bai and Qiniang both stop at the same time, and turned to look at him.

He suddenly got goosebumps all over his body.

The two pairs of eyes scanned Yun Po's body back and forth several times, as if they were sure that this person was harmless, they resumed their work.

Yun Po touched her nose, did she know something she shouldn't know?

Xue Suyi was tidying up the things on the table, her eyebrows were also wrinkled.

"You haven't left yet?"

"Yes, I'm looking for your brother."

He had the cheek to sit opposite Xue Suyi.

"My brother isn't here."

Yun Po looked at Xue Suyi's calm eyes in disbelief, as if seeing some monster. "I've been waiting for so long, and you actually told me he's not here?"

Xue Suyi nodded, but the expressionless look in Yun Po's eyes was a mockery.

It’s not like I don’t know, I’m startled, Yun Po is completely a piece of wood from a warm country, and it’s not at the same level as Xue Suyi’s hardwood that grows in extremely cold places.People are comparable to iron blocks, but he's on fire at one point.

So Yun Muju from the Central Plains stood up angrily, and was about to pat the table to blow his hair, when a hand stretched out from the side, two slender and strong fingers grabbed his wrist, and he couldn't move for a while.

"Don't pat my table, it's a whole piece of black sandalwood, it's hard to find." The voice came from the side, soft as if telling a bedtime story to a child.

Yun Po turned her head, and saw a person standing in front of her, who looked half a head taller than herself, only in her twenties, with jet-black hair tied up high, eyebrows of just the right shade raised slightly, and a pair of light brown eyes under the eyebrows It looks like amber dyed with water, shining brightly under the light, which makes people feel a little turbulent at first glance.This is a feeling between heroism and charm, and the stunningness of men and women is indistinguishable.

Immediately, all the words were blocked in his mouth, and then he swallowed with a "gudong".

"Xue Banxia?" Yun Po was a little lost.

With a gentle smile on the corner of Xue Banxia's mouth, he let go of Yunpo's hand and returned the salute gracefully.

"Catcher Yun, I'm sorry."

He took off his cloak and put it on the back of the chair, revealing a frost-colored long dress with dark flowers printed on it. The cuffs and hem of the skirt are all hand-embroidered with heavy Chinese patterns. On his feet are the pair of black lambs that Yun Po saw that night. Moccasin boots.

Xue Suyi moved out of the way just right, and stood by the table in a standard defensive posture to protect Xue Banxia.

"You know me?" Yun Po was stunned.

"On the way, I ran into Catcher Fu, and he said that you might come to the pharmacy to look for me." Xue Banxia pressed his palm on Xue Suyi's shoulder, as if to comfort him.

Then I sat down where Xue Suyi was sitting before, leaning back against the chair, with a lazy posture, like a cat, but felt that I could turn into a leopard at any time, the kind of frost saber hidden deep in the snow mountain of Beishi , with the appearance of blending into the environment, but can violently hurt people at any time.

"Sorry, the shop is narrow, please trouble Bounty Yun to give in." Xue Banxia raised his hand to signal Yun Po to sit down.

This sentence is clearly saying sorry, but there is no apology, and the explanation behind it is also very normal.As soon as he raised his hand, there was even more pressure to sit still.

Yun Po sat down silently, stared at the person opposite, and didn't know how to speak for a while.

There is a scar on the left forehead of the person opposite, from the eyebrows to the temples. Compared with his skin color, the scar is a bit light, and the shape is still a bit hideous, but this scar, coupled with the tanned wheat of his years of traveling in the West Sea The skin that is dark but still delicate reveals a mature and unruly charm.

With the intuition of a police officer, Yun Po felt that the mark was scratched by Xue Banxia himself with a blunt object, but he immediately denied this idea, no one would take the initiative to leave such a hideous scene on such a beautiful face Bar.

Xue Banxia also looked at Yun Po, although he had seen him once last night, he still had to sigh with emotion, this kid looks good.

His hair is black and blue, his eyebrows are thick and black like swords, his eyes are small but bright and clear, his lips are thin but not ruthless, he is a smart and good boy, but unfortunately he feels a little dull in some aspects.

"I don't know what is the purpose of the cloud policeman coming here to find Xue?"

"Ah, yes, I want to ask about last night..." Yun Po was stuck, unexpectedly forgetting what to say.You can't directly ask him if he went to the Kite Flying Tower to have a tryst with the Banshee last night, right?

"Did you go on a tryst with the banshee last night?" Xue Banxia answered.

"Yes." Yun Po nodded, then suddenly looked up at the person who spoke his mind.

Is this kid with all the thoughts written on his face and the police officer who violated the city's laws and regulations and broke into the Yuanfei Tower to investigate the case, and met him and left calmly, really alone?

interesting.

Xue Banxia clasped her fingers on the table, and once again misinterpreted the simple cloud catcher with her own thinking.

Before Yunpo could explain well, something happened suddenly!

The tall man who was waiting to grab the medicine had just stood upright. After hearing the word banshee, he picked up Uncle Bai's scale, strode up to Yun Po, and yelled at Yun Po: "You dare to talk nonsense!"

The one-foot-long black iron scale beam was instantly bent by brute force, and the bulging muscles and bulging veins made Uncle Bai tremble, and he didn't know whether it was from shock or anger.

"How can Dr. Xue be slandered by someone like you!"

This man happened to be the warrior who caught Dr. Xue who was walking the afternoon before yesterday. After Dr. Xue's treatment, he has become a die-hard admirer of Dr. Xue. Whoever says that Dr. Xue is not good means that he is not good. can be desperate.

It's a pity that this iron rod is so bent that Dr. Xue can't stand it anymore.

The whole pharmacy fell into silence for a while.

Xue Banxia stood up, patted the big man's shoulder lightly, took the scale beam that was almost folded in two, and gently straightened it while Yun Po was stunned.

"Don't worry, we're just chatting, just like discussing the illness."

Then he put the scale back in front of Bai Shu, took the medicine from Qiniang's hand, and pointed his finger at the big man.

"Shan Liang, come, let me tell you how to take this medicine."

I don't know what spell Dr. Xue cast, the big man just calmed down like this, obediently being led out by Xue Banxia, ​​and by the way he also held Xue Banxia's clothes, like a child who hasn't grown up.

It would have been more like him if he hadn't poked his own muscles and given Yun Po a hard look before leaving.

Yun Po stared blankly at Dr. Xue who was seeing off the guests with a smile, and her whole body trembled, feeling that she had witnessed a legend of Wuyun City tonight.

The amiable Xue poison doctor is really powerful and poisonous enough!

I can't even imagine how painful it would be to prick a patient with such strength?Really just going to Half-Life? !

"Captain Yun is about to be shocked," Xue Banxia bowed his hands to apologize, "This little brother has been emotionally unstable recently, and he has to chat with me every day before he dares to go home."

"Xue...Doctor Xue, that's not what I meant." Yun Po said in embarrassment.

"Huh?" Xue Banxia sat down again.

"I mean, Dr. Xue must also know about the Wanqilou Banshee."

"Slightly heard."

After clarifying her thoughts, Yun Po first glanced at Xue Suyi, who was still frowning.Glancing at Xue Banxia again, seeing Xue Banxia slightly raised the corners of his mouth, with affirmative eyes, he hastily moved his eyes away to continue.

"Doctor Xue, as soon as this case came out, I didn't think it was a banshee murderer. There is no such thing as a monster in the world, I think it is a disguise. If based on my hypothesis, the murderer is not a demon, then the murder case After it happened, it was impossible for him to disappear directly, and Wuyun City immediately closed the city and only allowed entry and no exit, and imposed a curfew, and in the end there will only be two types of people in the city."

"Oh? Which two kinds?"

"Murderers and ordinary people. Ordinary people should go home early at night because of the curfew, and the only ones who hang around outside are murderers. Does Dr. Xue think this makes sense?"

"Well, it makes sense." Xue Banxia propped his chin and nodded.

"And I went to the Yuanfei Tower yesterday to investigate the case, but found a suspicious wanderer in the Yuanfei Tower. Guess who it is?"

"Me." Xue Banxia pointed at herself, "So Xue is very suspicious?"

Yunpo nodded.

"Let's not care whether the murderer is a human or a monster. Xue would like to ask first, what was the situation in the first case?" Xue Banxia pondered for a moment and asked.

"Two drunk and frustrated people came home from a nearby restaurant, passed by the dark Wanqi Building, and discussed drunkenly the opening time of Wanqi Building this time. The deceased accidentally glanced at the upstairs and found the window on the second floor of Wanqi Building, which was originally closed. There was a woman wearing exotic clothes sitting next to her. The moonlight of the full moon was covering her body, like a layer of tulle, like a dream. According to the two of them, it was a woman who could drool half a catty just by looking at the silhouette. Not to mention that the beauty is surrounded by a faint blue light all over her body, she is so glamorous."

"This statement is a bit exaggerated. How can there be such a superb beauty in Wuyun City that no one will find out?"

"Yeah, it should be an excuse for him to force his way into the Wanqi Tower, or maybe it's because of the dim light."

"A beautiful woman in a foreign costume sits on a tall building in the city. If the Wanqi Building has not closed, then it will be an extremely conspicuous place in Wuyun City. What is she doing there?"

"It is said that she has an anxious face and is oblivious to everything downstairs. She looks around occasionally, as if she is waiting for someone."

"Waiting for someone? Then what happens later?"

"The first deceased thought that Wanqilou opened again as if it suddenly opened in the middle of the night, and kicked the door in a hurry. He didn't think about why the door was locked, and if it really opened, why didn't the lights go on? , just relied on my own strength to slam the door open, and went upstairs."

"After a cup of tea time, the first witness to the whole incident uttered a scream, saying that he was about to hug the beauty after seeing his companion go upstairs, but the beauty suddenly turned her cheek, and he could see clearly from downstairs It's clear, that's a half-beast face! The face is covered with long golden hair, like a tiger or a deer, and the green vertical pupils are clearly the legendary monster."

"At the last moment, he still naively thought that this was a trick played by Wan Qilou, and smiled at the woman thinking he was chic."

"Actually, who knows if it's chic or foolish."

"The next moment, he saw his companion bleeding from the seven orifices upstairs and fell in front of him, without even touching the woman's clothes. He was so frightened that he half died."
