Chapter 9
However, at noon, sporadic drizzles began to fall over Tiannan City. The pearl-like raindrops fell sparsely at first, and within a quarter of an hour, the rain gradually became heavier, like a natural curtain hanging down from the sky.
The sky of the imperial capital was filled with hazy rain, like clouds and fog, adding a touch of sadness to the hearts of the people of Tiannan City.
Feng Jueyu walked out of the Shangguan family's gate holding an oil-paper umbrella, and walked step by step along the wide street towards the south of the city.
The vendors on the street had already put up their big umbrellas. Some had finished their business for the day and returned home early to be with their wives and children. There were few people on the street. Such weather had brought a lot of popularity to the wine shops, tea houses and brothels lining the street.
The combination of cooking smoke, rain and fog, the ancient and quaint buildings, and the figures of passers-by hurriedly passing by in the rain weave a beautiful picture of ancient times.
The noisy sounds in taverns and teahouses, the barking of dogs in residents' homes, the crying of babies, and the sound of a man fighting with his wife because of gambling all told Feng Jueyu that this was a different world.
It is in a different plane from the original world.
It was a rare occasion that Feng Jueyu was in the mood for a stroll in the rain, but his seemingly leisurely steps held something strange in them. The great killer Feng suddenly felt that there seemed to be something important today, but he couldn't tell what it was.
After accidentally obtaining the Hong Yuan Tianjing, Feng Jueyu's body has undergone a complete change in the past half month. Not only have his meridians widened a lot, but even Feng Jueyu's old illnesses were also cleared away. The life and death power of the Hong Yuan space is indeed a blessing from heaven and earth. His body, which had been like tofu dregs for seventeen years, was almost healed in just half a month.
However, Feng Jueyu has always set extremely high standards for himself. Simply widening the meridians is far from enough, so Feng Jueyu remembered the method of medicinal bathing taught to him by his master in the previous life, and prepared to give this skin, muscles, flesh, and even bones a thorough conditioning.
So no matter how big the matter is, it is not as important as your own body.
"Huh? There's a pharmacy here, let's just go there." Feng Jueyu thought as he walked to Tiannan City in the rain and finally found his destination.
In front of him was a very small drugstore, which looked to be about 20 square meters in size. He folded his oil-paper umbrella and waved it twice, then walked into the small drugstore called "Ji Shi Fang" with a pure Tiannan dandy step.
After entering the shop, Feng Jueyu took a rough look. The shop was deserted and not doing much business. On the left was a row of baskets used to dry scarce and inferior medicinal materials. On the right was a cabinet that reached the ceiling and was against the wall. There were not many cabinets in the cabinet, and it was obvious that there were no high-quality goods.
An elderly man dozed off with his chin propped up by the tall counter, seemingly unaware that there was business in his shop. To Feng Dashasha, this shop had no vitality. If it were in the market economy of the previous life, it would have closed down in no time.
There was also a little girl who looked about fifteen or sixteen in the shop, squatting in front of a basket that was bigger than her, sorting out the herbs. Since her back was facing Feng Jueyu, he couldn't see her face clearly, so Feng Jueyu didn't pay much attention.
Walking straight to the counter and knocking on it, Feng Jueyu said, "Boss, buy some medicine."
The old man woke up in shock, and the little girl turned around at the same time. Seeing that there was business coming, her big, watery eyes like copper bells naturally showed a hint of joy. Without waiting for the old man to speak, she walked over with a fragrance.
"Sir, what kind of herbs do you need? Is there a doctor who sells them?"
The girl was very pretty, with fair skin, her black hair tied up in a messy bun, two long eyebrows like double-eye bags across her big round eyes, a pretty nose, and thin light pink lips. When she spoke, a pure fragrance wafted from her mouth, which could not even cover up the strong smell of medicinal herbs in the shop. It was obvious that she often used special spices to bathe or wore sachets.
Based on Feng Jueyu's evaluation and understanding of beauties, this girl is definitely a beauty. She does not have the heavy smell of makeup that the girls from wealthy families have. She looks particularly pure and unworldly, making people feel pity for her.
The key is the little girl's eyes, which are clear without a trace of power or unnecessary taste. At first glance, she is a lovely girl who has never experienced the world and has a pure heart.
Feng Jueyu took a liking to her at first sight.
At this time, the old man also woke up and looked at the young man who was not dressed gorgeously with an indifferent look, which was completely different from the look he gave the little girl.
Since he wanted to strengthen his body, Feng Jueyu had naturally prepared a prescription with the help of his memories from his previous life. Moreover, in the past half month, he was afraid that the medicinal materials in this world would be different from those in his previous life, so he spent a lot of time studying medical classics and pharmaceutical books. Finally, he made a choice based on the medicinal properties and wrote a prescription.
"Catch them according to what's written on this recipe. Make sure the quantity is correct."
The prescription Feng Jueyu used was the medicinal bath recipe taught to him by his master. It not only had the effects of strengthening the body, relaxing muscles and activating blood circulation, but also contained a trace of toxicity to stimulate the body's potential.
Although the old man had been prescribing medicine and working as a doctor for many years, he had no idea Feng Jueyu's intention. He reached out to take the prescription and took a closer look. His brows furrowed. The prescription actually contained a deadly poison?
"Young Master, what are you doing..." The old man looked at Feng Jueyu in confusion.
Feng Jueyu knew this would happen, so he smiled indifferently: "No need to defend, just follow the instructions."
The old man was an ordinary person. Although he didn't know what Feng Jueyu was going to do, he had no interest in caring. He sighed and handed the prescription to the little girl: "Tong'er, go get it."
Tong'er took the prescription, quickly grabbed a set of herbs that Feng Jueyu needed, packed them up, and walked over with them, grinning: "Thank you, sir. I'll give you 25 copper coins."
Feng Jueyu nodded, took out a copper coin from his sleeve and handed it over, then took the herbs and suddenly said, "Old man, what is your name?"
The old man clasped his fists and said, "This is Li Yide, my young master."
"That's Mr. Li, nice to meet you." Feng Jueyu asked, "Mr. Li, I need to trouble you with something, is it okay?"
"Sir, please speak."
Feng Jueyu said, "It's like this. I need these herbs for a long time. Due to some reasons, I can't buy them all at once, so I plan to come and get them every once in a while. Can I open an account here? I'll pay a deposit first and come and get them at any time. And please keep it a secret for me, Mr. Li. How about that?"
Feng Jueyu's intention was obvious. The recipe for the medicinal bath was temporarily not to be seen. Originally, the Shangguan family was the largest medicinal material center in Tiannan City, but that was the Shangguan family's territory. Before he had a strong ability to protect himself, he didn't want the Shangguan family to notice him. In addition, if he bought too many medicinal materials, he would be noticed by someone with ulterior motives. Because of this, Feng Jueyu deliberately walked a long way to the south of the city to choose a recipe with very few customers, so that he could go unnoticed.
In addition, he had another idea. If it was inconvenient to take a medicinal bath at Shangguan's house, and he could reach an agreement with Jishifang, he also planned to go to Jishifang for a medicinal bath. Just like the physical therapy center in the previous life, wasn't there one?
This was supposed to be a normal transaction, but Li Yide looked at Tong'er and shook his head at the same time. Tong'er said, "Sir, I'm afraid this is not possible."
"Why?" Feng Jueyu was stunned. Why don't you make money? Did I hear it right?
As if seeing what Feng Jueyu was thinking, Li Yide sighed and said, "To be honest, sir, the medicine business is not doing well right now. Most of the business in Tiannan City is taken up by the three major pharmacies. Their doctors are highly skilled, and they have a wide variety of good medicines. My little shop can't sustain itself for long, so there's no need to keep it open."
Li Yide pulled Tong'er over. At this time, Tong'er's tears fell. She was very reluctant to leave. Li Yide patted Tong'er's shoulders lovingly and said to Feng Jueyu: "We are grandparents and grandchildren who depend on each other for survival. I originally planned to open a small shop in Tiannan City to save up a dowry for Tong'er so that he can find a good family. Then I will have no regrets in this life..."
“But business is very slow right now. Rather than losing everything, it’s better to sell the store and leave more money for Tong’er to make a living in the future. So I’m really sorry for your request, young master.” After Li Yide finished speaking, he coughed twice in a hurry. It seemed that he was not in good health.
Feng Jueyu understood. This was the result of industry monopoly. The three major families of Shangguan, Chen and Xu in Tiannan City mainly operated the medicinal materials business and implemented a monopoly in the city. This would easily lead to the inability of small businesses in the industry to continue operating. It was a typical case of eating meat and not letting others drink soup. However, it could not be considered unethical. After all, the business world is like a battlefield. Whoever has the means can survive longer.
Li Yide became more and more sad as he spoke, as if he couldn't let go and couldn't do anything about it. Tong'er burst into tears, hugged her grandfather tightly, and cried, "Grandpa, please don't say anything. Tong'er will never marry in this life. Tong'er will take care of you for the rest of her life."
Li Yide felt warm in his heart and rebuked kindly: "Silly girl, keep talking nonsense. I don't have much time left. How can I be worthy of your dead parents if I delay you? Besides, my illness..." Halfway through his speech, Li Yide coughed violently a few times.
Tong'er quickly supported Li Yide, and worriedly rubbed her grandfather's back with her little hand, shaking her head desperately: "Grandpa, don't say anything, your disease can definitely be cured, Tong'er will sell her body to cure Grandpa..."
Feng Jueyu finally understood what was going on. This was actually a human tragedy. The industry monopoly and suppression of small businesses would cause a certain grandparent and grandchild to become homeless, along with a fifty-year-old man suffering from tuberculosis. What a pitiful pair of grandparents and grandchildren.
In his previous life, Feng Jueyu couldn't stand to see such scenes. Even though he was a killer, Feng Jueyu had a heart to save the world. He had rescued many poor people in dire straits without asking for any money. And when he was not accepting killer missions, he had another identity in the world: a private doctor, known as the Saint Hand.
Therefore, even if he didn't want to reveal his identity, he still had to take care of it.
Ding Qing looked at the pitiful grandparents and grandchildren, and suddenly a plan came to his mind. Feng Jueyu interrupted and asked, "Is your father-in-law suffering from tuberculosis?"
However, at noon, sporadic drizzles began to fall over Tiannan City. The pearl-like raindrops fell sparsely at first, and within a quarter of an hour, the rain gradually became heavier, like a natural curtain hanging down from the sky.

The three major families of Shangguan, Chen and Xu in Tiannan City mainly operated the medicinal materials business and implemented a monopoly in the city. This would easily lead to the inability of small businesses in the industry to continue operating. It was a typical case of eating meat and not letting others drink soup. However, it could not be considered unethical. After all, the business world is like a battlefield. Whoever has the means can survive longer.
Li Yide became more and more sad as he spoke, as if he couldn't let go and couldn't do anything about it. Tong'er burst into tears, hugged her grandfather tightly, and cried, "Grandpa, please don't say anything. Tong'er will never marry in this life. Tong'er will take care of you for the rest of her life."
Li Yide felt warm in his heart and rebuked kindly: "Silly girl, keep talking nonsense. I don't have much time left. How can I be worthy of your dead parents if I delay you? Besides, my illness..." Halfway through his speech, Li Yide coughed violently a few times.
Tong'er quickly supported Li Yide, and worriedly rubbed her grandfather's back with her little hand, shaking her head desperately: "Grandpa, don't say anything, your disease can definitely be cured, Tong'er will sell her body to cure Grandpa..."
Feng Jueyu finally understood what was going on. This was actually a human tragedy. The industry monopoly and suppression of small businesses would cause a certain grandparent and grandchild to become homeless, along with a fifty-year-old man suffering from tuberculosis. What a pitiful pair of grandparents and grandchildren.
In his previous life, Feng Jueyu couldn't stand to see such scenes. Even though he was a killer, Feng Jueyu had a heart to save the world. He had rescued many poor people in dire straits without asking for any money. And when he was not accepting killer missions, he had another identity in the world: a private doctor, known as the Saint Hand.
Therefore, even if he didn't want to reveal his identity, he still had to take care of it.
Ding Qing looked at the pitiful grandparents and grandchildren, and suddenly a plan came to his mind. Feng Jueyu interrupted and asked, "Is your father-in-law suffering from tuberculosis?"
