Summer is long and we are most likely to feel tired in the afternoon.
The thin-looking doctor rubbed his shoulders and turned half of his face to sleep. He waited until the footsteps at the door came to the front of the case and then raised his face.
In his sleepy eyes, his eyes just glanced at the dull-faced man, and then fell on the woman behind her. His eyes suddenly opened a little, and he became more energetic. He looked around and suddenly clicked. He woke up the boy next to him who was also snoozing: "Go! Bring two bags of medicine."
Mu Qing put his hands into his sleeves and paused. The boy yawned profusely. He pouted and picked up two packets of medicine. Mu Qing took them calmly and then gently tapped the consultation table.
"What's the matter?" The doctor's shoulders trembled, and he quickly averted his furtive gaze and leaned his upper body back on the chair.
Mu Qing was not in the mood to argue with him about the offending sight. He opened the medicine bag and said, "These are the most common trauma medicines."
When the doctor saw Mu Qing frowning and sitting upright, he glanced at Mu Qing a few more times and said with some confusion: "You are a little unfamiliar, but if you go out and ask someone, you will know that my medicine shop, Lao Li, is the best." For decades, the medicine is good and the price is low. It has always been a conscience medicine. It has always been a conscience medicine sold at a low price."
"Shit, it won't kill anyone anyway." The boy standing in front of the case muttered softly.
He hated the master who disturbed his sleep, and he also hated Mu Qing who had to tie up the medicine package himself after unwrapping the medicine bag. He said angrily, made the doctor's angry beard ripple, and gave the boy a fierce look: " My butt is itchy again, isn’t it?”
The doctor stood up and reached across the table to catch him. The boy was small and nimble and hid behind Mu Qing. He stretched out his little head and said, "Master, how dare you say that the price is low? Recently, just this pack of medicine has cost me so much." The price has increased several times, but I can still only eat one candied haws in three days."
The doctor kept cursing the little brat, sat back in his seat and smiled bitterly. When he looked at Mu Qing again, he coughed twice and said: "Brother, you also know what big things have happened in the city recently. Things are rare and valuable. Well."
The doctor's shop was not far from Qingyun Street and was fortunately preserved. In the first two days, the master and apprentice heard that few shop owners on Qingyun Street were spared from taking a nap in their own shops, so they chose to keep the door tightly closed. .
During that period of time, he, like those around him who had been affected by the disaster, was extremely worried and felt that he could not survive this day.
But within half a day after order was restored, everything became different again.
It was the first time that his drug store was overcrowded. At that time, he pinched his thigh hard to stop grinning in front of the familiar neighbors.
Rich people who were injured would naturally not come to his little prestigious temple, but these poor neighbors with depressed faces made him try for the first time what it meant that mosquito legs were also meat.
In just a few days, he may have sold medicines that he could not sell for several years, and the money was even more difficult to count.
The doctor shook his head and proudly woke up from the past few days. His eyes passed over the woman behind Mu Qing and said with a smile: "I heard that the drug stores on Xinglin Street are more ruthless and they only catch rich people." Zai, my pack of medicine is only half a tael of silver, so I need at least one tael of gold over there."
Mu Qing's eyes moved slightly. He and Wang Yeqing were actually coming from there. He knew that the doctor was really talking a lot at this time.
Although the doctor has only scratched the surface of his medical skills over the years and has never made any progress, he has already become proficient in the ability to read people's faces and take medicine. Seeing that Mu Qing still didn't have much emotional change after hearing this, he sat up straight and said, "Is it possible that your family members Someone is seriously injured, is it missing an arm or a leg? If that's the case, I really don't have the ability, so you can only admit defeat and go over there and get slaughtered."
As she spoke, the doctor looked at Mu Qing and... Wang Yeqing behind her with regret.
Of course Wang Yeqing also changed her appearance, but even if only her usual pretty face was left, paired with her graceful curves, the doctor still couldn't take his eyes away.
Feeling the secretive but increasingly addictive gaze from the doctor, although she agreed to let Mu Qing come forward alone, she couldn't help but cough slightly.
Mu Qing's dull facial lines loosened up a bit after his disguise. He took out the list from his sleeve and said in a low voice: "This is the first time I've seen someone selling medicine without consulting a doctor. What's on this list?" Just take the medicine."
The old man's face turned red, and he explained: "Although I have noticed that the young master is angry, but you know how many people have been killed and injured these days, didn't I subconsciously think that you are the same as them?"
After leaving the door of the drug store, Mu Qing narrowed his eyes under the hot afternoon sunlight. He and Huaifenghua maintained a tacit understanding and did not speak until they entered a secluded alley and made sure no one was following them. He asked loudly: "Do you still want to go there to see it?"
"I won't go to Qingyun Street." Mu Qing shook his head, with a hint of depression in his voice: "Madam, aren't you sure?"
Wang Yeqing nodded: "The pharmacy just now should be the one closest to Qingyun Street."
"Even if it's not, it doesn't matter. They say the soldiers and horses go first before food and grass are used. He sells trauma medicine in such short supply here. I think many more people will be affected than expected."
In the alley, Mu Qing is in front and Wang Yeqing is behind. Wang Yeqing took two steps faster, walked side by side with Mu Qing, and asked calmly: "Are you blaming yourself, thinking that you have harmed them?"
Mu Qing pursed his dry lips, feeling the slight sting. Xuyan said uncertainly: "When the fight started, how could I be so scrupulous? However, I always felt that I did hurt them afterwards."
Huaifenghua nodded lightly after listening to the first half of the sentence. After Mu Qing finished the second half of the sentence, she pondered for a moment before asking seriously: "You not only made some people homeless, but even killed some people, but what if it was still the same as before? situation, what would you do?”
"I will take the initiative to lure Ji Xiu to run outside the city? Instead of leading him to Qingyun Street." Mu Qing frowned and said hesitantly.
"Then you are most likely dead." Huaifenghua's narrow eyes looked a little bright: "There are only you and me here. You should understand that before the incident between you and Zhang Zhiyuan, Bai Hao had his eyes on you. He had been careful at every step. By suddenly accelerating, I guess he most likely wanted to grab one or two really substantial chips before Hidden Valley’s counterattack came.”
Wang Yeqing nodded to himself, then smiled and said: "As for you, I think if you were confused and stubborn that day and didn't seek help from the White Tiger Team, he would definitely not mind exposing your strength and kill you."
Mu Qing was silent.
Wang Yeqing said: "If your life is threatened, or someone you cherish is hurt, and you still hesitate and struggle in the face of the so-called righteousness, it will only make me look down on you. Why do you think so much?"
Mu Qing laughed at himself: "Maybe I have been seeing death since I was six or seven years old."
Wang Yeqing sighed slightly, naturally knowing that Mu Qing was talking about his experience in Hidden Valley, he narrowed his eyes and said: "The weak are just ants in the eyes of the strong. They can target them if they don't go, but if they were accidentally trampled to death that day, then Just like that, maybe only you little guy would think so much."
"Madam, you think those people are just ants, and we will be hurt if we get hurt?" Mu Qing asked with raised eyebrows.
Wang Yeqing shook his head, then nodded again, and said seriously: "We are also descended from thousands of ants, but we are just a little bigger. Our way is not that of evil demons, just ask yourself."
"Ask yourself..." Mu Qing said.
"Have you ever thought about hurting them? If you hurt them unintentionally, why bother with it all the time." Wang Yeqing said.
Mu Qing raised his sword eyebrows to both sides for a long time and did not put them down. He felt that Wang Yeqing's words were correct, but he felt that something was wrong. It was Wang Yeqing who raised the question for him: "Do you think that even if you hurt them unintentionally, Should we compensate as much as possible?"
"Yes! That's how it should be!" Mu Qing's eyes lit up.
Wang Yeqing shook his head and said in a serious tone: "It is always harder to be a good person than a bad person."
"Do you think anyone will sneak in among the injured people, just waiting for a kind-hearted person like you to show up? Are there not many secret piles in the City Lord's Mansion that we have discovered along the way?"
Wang Yeqing still had many unfinished thoughts. The most hurtful possibility in her heart was that she didn't even have to think about Bai Hao's conspiracy. It was simply Mu Qing who did it to help them. Those people finally turned against him. The resentment does not decrease but increases.
They will insist that Mu Qing is responsible for all this disaster.
Human nature never withstands much scrutiny.
Wang Yeqing had traces of Taoist charm flowing through his body and said calmly: "We came from them, but when we set foot on the true path of cultivation, we can never go back."
"Although you can now exert your strength beyond the spiritual realm, only after you truly break through will you know that we are different from mortals after all."
Is this extraordinary?
Mu Qing tilted his head slightly, his eyes following the footsteps on the mottled moss marks on the wall, thinking of the rumors he had heard these days, that during the battle on Qingyun Street, he had become the guilty party punished by the God of Thunder, saying that he was There are some snakes in the Qingxi River who have been cultivating for hundreds of years. Some say that they are the resentful souls of the scholars who threw themselves into the river. They have all kinds of ghosts and strange things, but few people have heard that they are human beings.
For those common people, the only ones who can fly with swords are the sword immortals who descend from the sky.
Mu Qing suddenly smiled when he thought of this.
Wang Yeqing turned around with a pair of clear and translucent eyes, as if he wanted to see through his thoughts.
Mu Qing was indeed filled with emotion. He looked into her eyes and said seriously: "Thank you."
"Finally figured it out?" Wang Yeqing asked softly, his fingertips brushing against the wall, "This person is born selfish, and no one is exception. People who are unconscious are because they have not yet encountered a truly painful choice. .”
Mu Qing exhaled a filthy breath: "Madam, you are truly a good teacher. There is absolutely nothing wrong with a Taoist cultivator following his true heart. If you are worried about the future, why bother yourself?"
Mu Qing actually suddenly remembered a detail that he had ignored in the drug store just now. The medicinal materials listed on the prescription were given by Huaifenghua, but Wang Yeqing later removed a few of them. The removed medicinal materials were not expensive, they were in the medicine bag he opened.
For some things, try your best, but try to get better with a clear conscience. As for those assumptions that have not yet come, let them go.
As long as I am strong enough, no one can harm the people around me.
Mu Qing thought so.
