The two of them entered the pharmacy, and Xia Chen's guess was right. There were indeed silver needles for sale in the shop, and Xia Chen bought fifty silver needles in one go, which cost him a hundred dollars.
Holding the silver needles, Xia Chen didn't leave immediately, because he suddenly realized that the pharmacy's business was very good, and he quickly saw the reason why the pharmacy's business was good. It was because there was a doctor in charge here, and this doctor looked to be in his fifties. Everyone called him Doctor Huang, and it seemed like he was the Old Chinese Doctor Huang from the shop's name.
And now, there were several people waiting in line for Doctor Huang to see them, and Doctor Huang also gave them a pulse diagnosis and gave them a prescription. Then, these people bought the medicine according to Doctor Huang's prescription in the pharmacy. There were Chinese medicine and Western medicine, but the price wasn't too expensive, usually only a few dozen yuan.
It was said to be a pharmacy, but it was more like a clinic. After watching for a while, he realized that Doctor Huang still had some skills, and his diagnosis of the patients should be accurate. Most of the prescriptions he gave were not bad, not only were they right, but they were also not expensive. Perhaps it was because of this that the pharmacy's business was surprisingly good.
"What are you looking at?" Ning Jie finally couldn't help but pull Xia Zhi and ask in a low voice.
"I'm thinking about how to make money." Xia Zhi said seriously.
"Don't think about it, let's go eat first." Ning Jie was not in a hurry to solve the problem of money. She had robbed people a few times in the summer, and now they had more than six thousand in cash on them. Even if they stayed in a hotel, it wouldn't be a problem for them to last half a month.
"But I'll have a good chance to make money soon." Xia Zhi said very seriously.
Ning Jie was a little puzzled for a moment. She looked at the people lining up to see a doctor in the pharmacy and said softly, "You can't be thinking of treating them, right? But they don't know you, so they won't believe you! "
"I know, so I'm not going to treat them." Xia Chen casually said, "Besides, they don't have much money. I can't get much money to treat them, so it's useless."
"Then what exactly is the money-making opportunity you're talking about?" Ning Jie was a little confused for a moment. Then, she suddenly thought of something and hurriedly whispered into Xia Xia's ear, "Hubby, you're not trying to rob the pharmacy, are you?"
She couldn't blame Ning Jie for being so suspicious. After all, she had robbed several times in the summer, and this pharmacy had such a good business, so it was obvious that there would be a lot of cash. If she really wanted to rob this place in the summer, it would make sense, but the previous few robberies weren't good people, so Ning Jie didn't think it was a big deal. Now that she wanted to rob a pharmacy that was doing proper business, Ning Jie felt that it wasn't appropriate.
Although there were a lot of doctors nowadays and many pharmacies sold their medicine at a very expensive price, according to Ning Jie's observation, this Doctor Huang seemed to be a good person and his medicine wasn't expensive. He didn't seem like a black-hearted doctor.
"Of course not." Xia Chen shook his head, "Robbing to make money isn't as fast as treating illnesses. Look at me, I didn't make much money from robbing a few times today. There's no money in this profession at all."
In fact, she didn't really understand the summer very well. Although she had read some information about the summer before, her understanding of the summer was still rather one-sided, and before that, her comment about the summer was that not only was this guy annoying, but he was also crazy. Now, although she didn't hate the summer anymore, and didn't want to admit that her man was crazy, she still felt that the summer was a little strange, and her actions didn't seem to follow common sense, so she was a little worried that he would do something that would make her not know whether to laugh or cry.
"Then who do you want to treat?" Ning Jie couldn't help but ask.
"It's him!" Xia Xia pointed to the pharmacy counter. Ning Jie looked at it and couldn't help but be stunned. Wasn't this Doctor Huang?
"Handsome, you want to treat our Doctor Huang?" The young girl who was selling medicine at the counter heard the conversation between Ning Jie and Xia Chen and couldn't help but interject, "I think it's more like you to come to our Doctor Huang for treatment!"
"He can't see my illness, but I can see his." Xia Zhi lazily said, "I'm too lazy to argue with you. You'll know later."
"Handsome boy, don't spout nonsense. How could Doctor Huang be sick?"
"That's right, young man, don't randomly curse people. Doctor Huang is a good person."
"I think you're the one who's sick. There must be something wrong with your head. Come in and let Doctor Huang take a look!"
A few people who were waiting to see the doctor were talking to each other, as if they were going to drown the summer with their saliva.
"You're the one with a brain problem!" Xia Zhi glared at one of them, "If you don't believe me, ask that Old Man Huang, is he sick?"
"Little brat, do you believe that I won't beat you up?" The person who was scolded in the summer was a man in his thirties or forties. He seemed to have a fiery temper, and now he was about to swing his sleeves and hit someone.
"Ah Hua, don't be so hot-tempered." He had just given a prescription to someone, and now he seemed to have some free time. He turned his head to look at Xia Keke, and his tone was very calm, "Young man, I saw that you just bought a silver needle, and you've been watching from the side for a while, so you should really understand medicine. However, you said that I'm sick, that's a bit general. You have to know that people of my age are more or less sick, and anyone can guess that."
"Doctor Huang, I just can't stand this kid cursing you!" The man called Ah Hua said angrily. It was obvious that he was very familiar with Doctor Huang and listened to Doctor Huang's words. Although he still had a very angry look on his face, he didn't come over to fight with Xia Chen.
"Ah Hua, this young man is right. I am indeed sick. At my age, it's not strange for me to be sick." Doctor Huang said amiably.
"Hey, Old Man Huang, if you only had a small illness like prostatitis, I wouldn't have said it. You have a serious illness, and it's a disease that's about to die." Xia Chen said lazily.
Hearing this, everyone couldn't help but be stunned. The young girl who bought the medicine had a strange expression on her face. Doctor Huang actually had prostatitis?
Many people might not know what prostatitis was, but the young girl who bought the medicine obviously knew. Besides, the hospital opposite their pharmacy had a big sign saying that it was mainly for prostatitis. Even if she didn't know before, after seeing it for so long, she knew what it was.
She really didn't know what kind of illness it was. She only felt that the expressions of the people around her were a little strange, and even that Doctor Huang's expression was a little awkward.
"Young man, then tell me, what kind of illness do I have?" Doctor Huang quickly recovered and asked.
"Old man, it's not like you don't know yourself. What are you pretending for?" Xia Zhi curled his lips, "You have a heart disease, and it's congenital. Don't you know?"
Doctor Huang's expression changed slightly. He finally realized that this young man might not be here to mess around, because he knew very well that he indeed had a congenital heart disease, and this matter, in this Minxing Village, was known to only a few people.
Doctor Huang's real name was Huang Jiankang. The reason why he was called this name was because he was born with congenital heart disease. His family hoped that he could be healthy. In fact, his congenital heart disease could still be cured by surgery. It was just that decades ago, medicine was not so developed. At that time, Doctor Huang used traditional Chinese medicine to regulate his body. Because of this, he was fascinated by traditional Chinese medicine.
Nowadays, there weren't many good traditional Chinese medicine practitioners. In addition, there were a lot of swindlers who used the name of traditional Chinese medicine to deceive people, which caused traditional Chinese medicine practitioners to be criticized. Many people mainly relied on western medicine to treat their illnesses. But even so, if there was a good traditional Chinese medicine practitioner, the business of this traditional Chinese medicine practitioner would definitely not be bad. Doctor Huang was one such practitioner. He opened a pharmacy and consulted patients in the pharmacy. Because the consultation fee had always been low and the treatment effect was good, he had made a name for himself in the vicinity of Minxing Village. At least, the local people here basically came to him for treatment.
"Looks like we really are in the same profession." Doctor Huang opened his mouth and said, "Young man, what should I call you?"
"My surname is Song, the Song of the Song Dynasty. My name is death, which means death." He felt that this name was not bad. Before he killed that damned woman, Song Yumei, he would use this name.
"Song Death?" Doctor Huang was stunned. This name was too strange. Who would use the word 'death' as their name these days?
"That's right, it's Song Death. In the past, there was a fortune-teller who said that I had to be called Song Death, or else I would really die, so that's my name." Xia Chen casually made up a story, so he naturally wouldn't tell anyone else that Song Yu's death meant for Song Yumei to die.
"Then I'll call you Doctor Song." Doctor Huang pondered for a moment, "Doctor Song's eyes are not bad, I do have a congenital heart disease, but this disease has been with me for more than fifty years, and there hasn't been any big problems. You said that I'm going to die, isn't that a bit too serious?"
"You'll know soon enough whether it's serious or not." Xia Chen lazily said, "You didn't have any problems in the past, but that doesn't mean you don't have any problems now. You're old, so you should be working hard recently. Especially today, you should have treated quite a few people, right? "Oh, I'll wait here. In at most half an hour, you'll be sick."
"Is Doctor Song really that confident?" Doctor Huang's expression changed slightly. He had indeed felt a little tired these past few days, and he had indeed treated quite a few people today. Because the temperature had dropped a lot these past few days, there were quite a few people who were sick.
"How about we make a bet?" Xia Zhi said after a moment's thought.
"What does Doctor Song want to bet?" Doctor Huang asked in confusion.
"Very simple, I bet that you will have a heart attack in half an hour at most. If you don't have a heart attack, then I lose. If you have a heart attack, then naturally I win. If I win, I will save you, but you have to give me half of this pharmacy." He needed to earn money, and he felt that this pharmacy was a good place to earn money.
