Chapter 153 Huo Dong’s Guarantee

The next day, Liu Yuhan got up early and cooked breakfast.

The two old people, the grandfather and the grandmother, obviously did not sleep well at night. They ate breakfast in a dull manner and went about their own business.

Liu Yang hid in the room and didn't dare to go out.

Seeing him like this, Liu Yuhan said hello to her mother and took him and Liu Yun Banxia to the pharmacy in a carriage. Bai Zhi was temporarily helping with the accounting at the pharmacy and teahouse.

Recruitment notices are posted everywhere in the county town, and this is what everyone is talking about the most recently.

Liu Yuhan became busy as soon as he arrived at the pharmacy. He was afraid that his brother would be bored, so he asked him to help grind the medicinal materials. Now the largest living room has become a temporary pharmacy. Everyone grinds the medicine and slices the herbs when they have nothing to do. In short, there is no end to the work.

It was almost time for dinner so Qingdai went to cook.

Master now sometimes sleeps in the pharmacy, and sometimes follows Liu Yuhan back to the village. Fuwa, who works as a part-time bodyguard, has to sleep in the pharmacy, and Qingdai goes to the soap shop to sleep with Wuyou and others at night.

Liu Yun is now becoming more and more adept at being Liu Yuhan's assistant. When he has nothing to do, he goes with Zhiyuan to wait in the hall and watch him prepare and boil medicine.

After two years of learning to read, it is enough for daily life. Liu Yuhan is now guiding her to practice calligraphy. If you want to be a doctor, you must be able to prescribe medicine, and learning to read and write is the most basic.

The pharmacy had only been open for half a decade, and because of the plaque that the Huo family presented with such fanfare that day, business was pretty good. In short, it was still in the trial stage, and some patients chose to buy over-the-counter medicines to try.

There are a total of five pharmacies in Changle County, including theirs, two of which are large pharmacies, and the other two are of similar size to theirs.

While Qingdai and Fuwa were anxiously competing for business, the master and apprentice remained calm, treating patients when they could and developing medicinal herbs when they couldn't. Thanks to their research, Zhibo Powder finally began mass production.

Liu Yuhan gave the remaining bezoars to his master. The two were currently developing a life-saving pill. Aside from borneol and camphor, they already had all the other ingredients or could find alternatives. So, they were trying to figure out how to replace the remaining two, or to test the effects of their absence.

Liu Yang stayed in the drugstore for two days, but his family didn't come to see him. He felt a little lost. He often looked out the door of the drugstore. This morning, after breakfast, he looked out the door of the drugstore again.

"Master, why are you here?"

"Yeah. I told my family, but they don't agree?"

"Ah."

"I'm going to Fulai Village later. Come back with me."

"Oh."

"Is Miss Xiaohan here? I'll get something for her."

"She's making medicine in the back hall."

"Xiaohan, Master is looking for you."

"Master?" Liu Yuhan was so focused on making medicine that she was stunned for a moment. She even looked at her master who was concentrating on making medicine across from her until Huo Dong appeared.

"Is Miss Xiaohan free?"

"Brother Huo Dong, wait a minute, I'll be there." Liu Yuhan said hello to his master and went out. Liu Yuhan took him to his own clinic.

"What's wrong, Brother Huo Dong?"

"This is the money for the medicinal materials for the past two months. Please accept it." Liu Yuhan saw him handing over a thick stack of money wrapped in paper, but she did not take it.

"How much? Brother Huo Dong, I've already told Butler Huo that the pharmacy is just like the white tea industry. My family provides the recipe and labor, and you provide the materials. It's 40% to 60%, with our family taking 60%, so don't give me too much."

"No, the army belongs to the imperial court. This is the military funds I applied for from the imperial court. You can accept it with confidence, young lady."

"Oh, all right."

"There are a pair of dogs that we found in the carriage. Would you like to take a look at them, young lady?"

"Dog? Where is Brother Huo Dong? I want to see him."

Liu Yuhan followed Huo Dong to the carriage. Huo Dong opened the curtains and revealed a pair of chubby black and white striped puppies in a simple cage. The puppies were so frightened when they saw someone that they fell backwards. They pulled their ears, shook their heads, and looked at them curiously. Liu Yuhan felt her heart soften immediately.

"Mmmmm... they're just so cute, I love them so much!"

"That's good. This is a Border Collie. My friends in the north say they are smart, lively, and affectionate."

Border Collie, isn't this a dog that is often used as a search and rescue dog and a drug detection dog?

"Yeah, thank you, Brother Huo Dong, I'm very satisfied."

"I'm taking Liu Yang back to Fulai Village. Do you want to go with me?"

"Well, his problem must be resolved. Wait a moment, I'll talk to Master."

Liu Yuhan put the silver given by Huo Dong into the space first. He said hello to his master and asked Banxia to drive the carriage back.

When they returned home, they arrived just in time for the family to prepare for lunch. Huo Dong hurriedly asked him and Liu Yuhan to sit down and eat. They saw two dogs in the house and went to take a look.

No one paid any attention to Liu Yang, until his aunt filled a large bowl of food for him and told him to go to the courtyard to eat. Liu Yang sat alone in the courtyard, eating his meal, which tasted like chewing wax.

After everyone had eaten, Huo Dong invited the adults to talk in the main hall, and Liu Yuhan followed.

"Boy Huo, you said this guy is determined to join the army, and we..." Liu Daling hesitated to speak.

"Young man Huo, is the place where my eldest grandson wants to join the army the same as yours?" asked Old Lady Jiang.

"Grandma, that's right. Fu'an City recruits soldiers every autumn, and the soldiers they recruit are naturally to guard the southern cities."

"If he's recruited, will he be able to stay with you? Don't blame me for being nosy. I see this kid is adamant and determined to go, so I hope he has someone he knows when he gets there. It will be convenient for him to pass on messages later, and we can feel more at ease."

"Grandma, this is human nature."

"Nephew Huo Dong, can my son follow you? Even as a soldier?" Liu Shihu asked.

"Grandpa, grandma, uncles, aunts, I'm a soldier myself, so I really can't say much about this. Joining the army is definitely difficult and there are definitely dangers. On the battlefield, swords are blind and there is no way to guarantee complete safety. Even I can't guarantee that I will always be invincible."

"I understand how you feel. Since Liu Yang has recognized me as his master, I will naturally protect him. His martial arts skills are already above those of ordinary people, and his ability to protect himself is definitely more secure than others."

"If he is selected, I will first train him with me. I will not let him face danger as a striker for at least a year. I will often urge him to write letters home and contact you. I can guarantee this to you."

"Okay, that's great, Huo boy, thank you."

"Grandma, you're embarrassing Huo Dong."

"How many days will it take before we have to go to the military camp?"

"About ten days."

"If you're in such a hurry, what do we need to prepare?"

"Just prepare some clothes and shoes, and you can prepare a few extra pairs of shoes."

"Grandma, you and Auntie should prepare some clothes and shoes for Big Brother. I will prepare the rest for him."

"Okay, Danier, thank you for your hard work. It would be nice to prepare more for your brother."

"Grandpa, grandma, uncle and aunt, my eldest brother will be leaving home soon. Can you please stop being angry with him? Look how miserable he is..."

"I just want him to remember this lesson. If he makes a decision without saying anything, there will be trouble in the future."

"Well, Grandpa, you've already hit him. He'll remember it and won't dare to mess around again."

"Daniel, let him in. He's almost torn his clothes. He's a sincere and silly boy. You should just leave it at that. Don't make him too anxious."

"Okay, grandma."

"I know mother."

When Liu Yang learned that his family agreed, he almost jumped up.

He sat at the bottom of the main hall, listening carefully to the adults' instructions.

Liu Yuhan signaled Huo Dong to come out.

"Brother Huo Dong, I'll give my brother some medicine and food that's easy to carry. Can you take these?"

"Naturally."

"Okay. I'll take him to the capital in ten days."

"Okay. I'll be in the city recently. If you have anything, come to the Huo Mansion to find me. You can also stay temporarily in the mansion when you get to the city."

"We rented a house in the capital city and have a place to live."

"Brother Huo Dong, my brother will really be by your side, right?"

"Don't worry, girl. I'll do what I say."
