immortal

Zhang Qiling never came back, as if he had never appeared before.I sat at the door of the shop more and more often, staring at the people passing by in a daze, like a drop of water falling into the sea, and I could no longer find a trace of him.

I didn't tell anyone about that call, no one knew he was alive.Intuition tells me that I should keep this secret firmly, a secret that only the two of us know.

A week later I received a courier.

There is no sender, and the recipient's information is also crooked, as if it was written by a child.It was a small square cardboard box. I put it on the counter. I couldn't find a tool to dismantle it, so I had to take the black dagger from the cabinet.

After a layer of plastic bag and a layer of cardboard box were cut open, there was actually another layer inside, wrapped in foam paper, which looked like a wooden box. I had to be patient and dismantled it, and finally peeled out a wooden box.Seeing this, Wang Meng wanted to come over, but I kicked him out.

The box looked like gold and iron, with a shiny black face. When the top cover was opened, there were more than a dozen white pills the size of quail eggs. I sniffed one and put it to my nose. After smelling it for a long time, I feel that there is a hint of fragrance drilling into my brain. It is strange to say that when I sit here and smell the pills for a while, it seems that my head feels much lighter, and my drowsy brain seems to be filled with The slit was split open, and even the whole person raised his spirits.

Who sent this to me?

I took a look at the vague courier bill again, and checked the delivery address of the courier, which turned out to be local.

Subconsciously, I wanted to call Xiao Hua, but when I picked up the phone, I changed my mind, chatted with him about something else, and asked when he would be back. He replied that there were a lot of things going on in Beijing recently, and that he would smoke around years ago. Do not come out empty.After chatting for a few more words, I hung up.

Now I too can seriously lie.

There is a traditional Chinese medicine clinic one stop away from my shop. The old man in that house is also a collector. He comes to visit me from time to time. He has real skills. He said hello and went out.

But the result seemed unexpected but reasonable. The box was indeed pills, but not ordinary pills.

The old gentleman sighed, "I have practiced medicine for nearly sixty years, and this is the first time I have seen such a scent of agarwood."

"Really agarwood?" I wondered.

The old gentleman nodded, "I can't smell the smell wrong, it should have added woody incense and ebony medicine, both of which are top-grade, and are mainly used to replenish qi and promote qi, and the spirit is not clear, but it fits your insomnia. "

"You said..." I hesitated, "I can really take this medicine?"

The old gentleman smiled and said: "Why can't I eat it..." He shook his head again and said, "I'm afraid it's hard to find a thousand pieces of gold..."

I thanked him and wanted to give the old man two pills, but he insisted on not accepting them, so I had no choice but to give up. I went back to the shop and asked Wang Meng to take the golden sapphire that the old man liked in my shop last time. The top of the hat was delivered, and Wang Meng was out of breath when he came back. As soon as he came in, he first asked me: "Have you taken the medicine?"

I said you only need to take medicine, but I am a tonic!

Wang Meng let out a sigh of relief, followed me and said, "Okay...okay, have you taken the tonic?"

He wiped his sweat and said: "Fortunately, I went there again. My husband said that the medicine is too old, and its efficacy is hard to say. If you want to eat it, you'd better hydrate it and fry it again... There is...you can eat it once in half a month..."

"Too long?" I asked suspiciously, "How long?"

Wang Meng rolled my eyes and said, "How do I know how long it will be? You won't ask yourself?"

I looked at the wooden box, and there was not even a trace of decoration on my body. For the first time, I felt clueless.

"Oh, that's right!" Wang Meng said again: "I'm afraid that the medicine will be ineffective, so I have to quit smoking and drinking, go to bed early and get up early..." I interrupted him: "What else can you say in one go! Young mother-in-law! "

He scratched his head, frowned as if trying hard to remember, and finally told me two words: "It's gone."

There seemed to be a voice in my heart saying to me, it can only be him.
