The charm of spy wars lies in the tricks of life

Chapter 89 July 1937, 3

1937, February 14th of the lunar calendar.

Gregorian calendar, March 3, Friday.

"Howl" uttered a cold snort, and the skin on his back groaned.

Yesterday it was a dull pain, today it is sore and swollen.

I am not used to sleeping on my stomach, my body is stiff, and I feel tingling and numb all over my body, which is extremely painful.

I can still bear these, but when I stand up, my waist feels like it's broken.

This is not a reminder that time flies, but to protect your kidneys and stay away from those little demons.

Wash and calm down, dress and look in the mirror.

Thirty years old. Passion, pride, extravagance. Indulgence with little restraint, a focus on utilitarianism with little inner cultivation, a willingness to do what is right and a failure to avoid what is wrong.

His face is pale, with a few light wrinkles around his eyes. His facial features are good. He is not super handsome, but he is definitely not ugly either.

As usual, I walked slowly until I reached Uncle Wang’s morning stall.

The plump white buns have a thin skin so you can see the meat filling. The preserved egg and lean meat porridge in the bucket is bubbling and fragrant.

Sitting at the small table with four buns and a bowl of porridge, Shen Liushu was leisurely enjoying himself.

Gou San came from afar and said, "Sister Wang, three buns and a bowl of porridge, please." His voice was loud and sticky.

Aunt Wang said enthusiastically, "Okay, San'er."

Gou San sat at the table next to Shen Liushu and knocked on the bowl with his chopsticks as usual.

This means that the tasks assigned last night have been completed.

This time, Shen Liushu did not leave any buns, but ate them all.

Last time, Gou San was inexperienced and tried to knock it, leaving a bun for himself as a response.

Now that you have experience, there is no need to waste it.

Shen Liushu finished eating and left.

Aunt Wang took the buns and the soup, placed them on the table, and sat down next to Gou San warmly: "San'er, I'll give you another one."

"Thank you, Sister Wang." Gou San picked up the hot bun and stuffed it into his mouth.

"San'er, I heard that you didn't allow your brothers to pickpocket yesterday." Aunt Wang asked.

"Well, the people above arranged a formal job for them. They can't be pickpockets anymore. It will tarnish my reputation." Gou San said while eating.

"Oh, really? Hey," Aunt Wang came closer and said, "Tell me about your job."

Gou San picked up the third bun and said, "I'll be assigned a job where I can carry a gun. How should I put it? It's more senior than patrol."

Aunt Wang's face was full of smiles: "Oh, San'er is really amazing. What did I say? I could see that you were capable from the very beginning."

............................................................

I drove lightly and arrived at Kunji Pharmacy.

The old Chinese doctor looked at Shen Liushu, whose walking posture was awkward and whose face was pale.

Eyes shining.

Shen Liushu saw the light and turned around to leave.

The light seemed to turn itself into gold.

"Sir, I came here today because I couldn't sleep well. I came to ask for that precious medicine." As he said this, he turned around and went to the inner room to get the knockout drug.

"No, doctor, I have something else to do." Shen Liushu said.

Why are you so eager to recommend that knockout drug? Is it because of strict inspections and regulations? Are you reluctant to throw it away and want to sell it quickly?
Or is the medicine about to expire?

It is rare for a knockout drug to be called a precious medicine.

"Sir, what's that for?" the old Chinese doctor asked in confusion.

"It's the same medicine I lost last time. I wanted to buy some more," Shen Liushu said helplessly. "Sir, you're really a wealthy family. Thirty silver dollars were lost just like that. Sigh..." The old Chinese doctor looked sad.

Shen Liushu looked at the old Chinese doctor. Why was he so sad if he hadn't lost thirty silver dollars himself?

"Doctor, why are you so sad?" Shen Liushu asked in confusion.

"The production process of that pill is extremely complicated, and the amount of each drug must be controlled to the millimeter. Even with fifty years of skill, I was only able to make five boxes.

"Two boxes were sold before you came. The remaining three boxes have been sold to you. There are no more in stock. What a pity." The old Chinese doctor looked bitter.

When Shen Liushu heard this, his face changed. His original body died because he ran out of oil.

Is it okay not to nourish these two kidneys?
I'm meeting Zhou Manli on Sunday. Who knows if she'll return to her homeland again? If she does, it'll be troublesome.

"Is there any other medicine that can be used as an alternative?" Shen Liushu asked.

The old Chinese doctor looked embarrassed: "Since you are so sincere in your request, I have to reluctantly give it up. This medicine was originally made for me. It is a rare and fine product.

"The amount of medicine used, the dosages varied, as numerous as the stars, it was decocted with slow fire, refined with high fire, for 49 days, and then sealed, enduring the harsh winter of wind, frost, rain and dew for 81 days...

"This medicine is called: Yin and Yang, Two Qi, Three Essences, Four Transformations, Five Directions, Six Transformations, Recasting the Lustful Body, Dragon Whip, Tiger Waist, Phoenix Blood, Nine Pills a Day

“There are still three boxes left, but this pill costs two silver dollars a pill, and it’s even more powerful than the last pill.

"Not only can it restore you to your peak form, but it can also take you to a higher level, allowing you to revel day and night."

Shen Liushu widened his eyes. Damn, is it so weird?

What he said sounded so magical and weird.

If you don’t know, you would think that I, your brother, have traveled to the world of immortal cultivation.

"Bring it here and let me see." Shen Liushu asked suspiciously.

The old Chinese doctor looked solemn as he walked towards a cabinet of a different color next to him.

Carefully, he slowly opened a drawer and solemnly took out three boxes of pills.

Staring at it, it seems like a treasure in the world.

Gently placing it on the table, the old Chinese doctor signaled Shen Liushu with his eyes to take a look.

Shen Liushu looked at the old Chinese doctor, then at the medicine box, with a look of suspicion and distrust.

"Can I open it and take a look?" Shen Liushu asked. Such an expensive pill must be seen in its appearance.

The name on the medicine box was particularly scary: Yin and Yang, Two Qi, Three Essences, Four Transformations, Five Directions, Six Changes, Recast Lustful Body, Dragon Whip, Tiger Waist, Phoenix Blood, Nine Pills a Day.

The old Chinese doctor looked embarrassed, gritted his teeth, and said firmly, "Okay, sir, you are a returning customer and a wealthy family. You will definitely not play tricks. Please give me your opinion."

Then he carefully unsealed the medicine box and took it out. Inside were ten pills, each the size of a bull's eye, covered in a thin, transparent beeswax cover and pitch black.

Damn, isn’t this the big pill I took?

You change the name, the packaging, add some more vicious rhetoric, and sell it at twice the price. Isn't this cannibalism?

Shen Liushu looked at the old Chinese doctor. His expression remained calm, and he did not show any signs of guilt.

What a fucking realm.

I once heard that fortune teller say that it doesn’t matter whether the prediction is accurate or not, what matters is that the expression does not change.

I think this old Chinese doctor is also at a certain level. It doesn't matter whether he is accurate in fooling people or not. What matters is that he dares to fool people and keeps his expression unchanged.

"Doctor, could you please lower the price?" Shen Liushu's face was serious.

"This is what I personally refined...

Shen Liushu took out the gun from his waist and placed it on the table. His face was as calm as water and his eyes were ruthless and indifferent.

"Let's keep the original price of one silver dollar per coin. After all, we are so close to each other." The old Chinese doctor said helplessly.

"Knocking drug is a controlled substance..." Shen Liushu said coldly.

"Buy two get one free. Not only do we feel like old friends, we are also close friends regardless of age." The old Chinese doctor said seriously without changing his expression.

This is the official! This is the people!
Now that the gun is out, there is no room for reason!
