Chapter 435: Hoping Big Brother Can Let the Bottom Lane Go
They were stunned by the long queue when they arrived at the entrance of Wanjia Pharmacy.
The line was orderly and very well-mannered, waiting to receive the medicine, unlike in my previous life when there would be chaotic queues and people cutting in line whenever something was given away for free.
It seems that people in ancient times valued manners and etiquette.
He led Pei Yan and the other person through the crowd, preparing to squeeze into Wanjia Pharmacy.
But after taking only two steps, he was stopped by a group of four people beside him.
The leader was a burly man with bulging muscles all over his body. He had triangular eyes and a particularly conspicuous scar on his face that ran from his right eyebrow down to his left cheek.
The man stood in front of the two men and said coldly.
"Hey, what are you doing here? Don't you know how to line up?"
Seeing that the other party was blocking her way, Fang Xiaoxiao could only smile and say.
“Brother, my husband and I know Wan Wuyao, the owner of Wan Family Pharmacy. The Banlangen you are queuing up for is made by me. I hope you can make way for me.”
"What nonsense are you spouting? How could a woman like you possibly make Banlangen (Isatis root) to cure diseases and save lives? Besides, we know that Manager Wan, but he doesn't know us. Don't cause any more trouble here, or I won't hesitate to give you a few punches."
The man didn't care at all about the beautiful woman in front of him; on the contrary, he said with disgust.
In his view, no one should break the rules of queuing, otherwise chaos would ensue.
You see, just as they arrived to collect medicine for treating the epidemic, many brainless people insisted on pushing and shoving. In the end, they had to use their fists to teach these people a lesson before they could finally stabilize the situation.
The three henchmen beside the man stared intently at the woman in front of him with their big eyes.
This woman is truly stunningly beautiful, comparable to a celestial fairy.
Although they never actually saw the fairy.
A sallow-faced, thin henchman tugged at his boss's coat, his expression showing a hint of pity and tenderness.
"Brother, why don't we let this lady go and get her medicine first? I really can't bear to see such a beautiful woman heartbroken."
"Pah! You worthless piece of trash, what kind of time is this to be thinking about such filthy and disgusting things?"
The big man wanted nothing more than to slap his underling across the face.
Seeing their leader's anger, the underlings had no choice but to shrink back, fearing they would be punched.
Just then, Su Muwan, the eldest daughter of the Su family, happened to see Pei Yan's handsome face in the crowd and couldn't help but call out.
"Young Master Pei, over here! You and Little Sister Xiao are back, right?"
Pei Yan looked in the direction of the sound and saw the eldest daughter of the Su family, whose height fluctuated. He nodded slightly.
Fang Xiaoxiao also heard what Miss Su said, and looked up at the man who was half a head taller than her and said something.
"Big brother, Miss Su is calling us. Please make way."
The burly man wasn't stupid or stubborn. Upon hearing that it was the eldest daughter of the Su family, he immediately turned around to look behind him, confirming that the person was calling out to the two people in front of him, before making way for them.
"Since you know each other, we won't say any more. But we hope that you won't boast in the future, especially since Banlangen was developed by Doctor Wan. It's not something a woman like you could easily make."
The man didn't forget to add a sentence.
Fang Xiaoxiao didn't bother to take it seriously. Anyway, it was fine this way. If any problems arose, Wan Wuyao would be the one to take the blame, not Fang Xiaoxiao.
After weaving through the crowd, the two quickly arrived in front of Su Muwan and the others. After greeting them, they hurriedly headed towards the backyard.
When she arrived at the backyard, Li Shizhen had been waiting for her for a long time.
As a Taoist priest with exceptional medical skills, Li Shizhen was naturally very interested in hearing that Fang Xiaoxiao could extract viruses.
Li Shizhen stepped forward and cupped her hands in greeting.
“Madam Fang, according to Brother Wuyao, you were able to extract the poison from the plague and even named it a virus.”
Fang Xiao nodded in agreement.
The two of them walked one after the other into a guest room that had been prepared in advance by Wan Wuyao's wife.
The guest room wasn't very big, but fortunately, all the furniture had been removed, and containers and tools for extracting the virus had been arranged in advance as requested by Fang Xiaoxiao.
Li Shizhen was seeing these novel gadgets for the first time and felt that they were different from the tools they had used for alchemy before, so he asked curiously.
“Madam Fang, these things are truly peculiar; I have never heard of or seen anything like them before.”
Don't tell me you've never seen one; even the current emperor isn't qualified to meet one.
Fang Xiaoxiao jokingly thought to herself.
"If you are interested, Master, I can write down the design drawings and materials for you, and also tell you some basic usage methods."
"This is good, this is good! Then I would like to thank you again for your kindness, my wife."
After exchanging pleasantries, Fang Xiaoxiao began to work on extracting the plague bacteria.
Time passed little by little, from day to night.
During this time, Wan Wuyao tried to come in to take a look, but Li Shizhen blocked him at the door.
During this time, apart from eating and sleeping, Fang Xiaoxiao and Li Shizhen never left the room, until a joyful sound rang out.
"It's done! It's finally done!"
Fang Xiaoxiao held the glass bottle in her hand, looking at the grayish-white powdery substance inside, and her face lit up with joy.
Li Shizhen yawned as she got up, stretched, picked at her ear, and leaned closer to Fang Xiaoxiao.
Hearing her talk about her success, I couldn't help but feel happy for her.
After giving a brief explanation, Fang Xiaoxiao took the glass bottle and left the room.
At this moment, Pei Yan and the others had been waiting for a long time outside the room.
Pei Yan, in particular, first looked at Fang Xiaoxiao with concern, and then stepped forward to comfort her.
"Xiao Xiao, thank you for your hard work!"
"Hey, this is nothing, Pei Yan, look at what I have in my hand."
Fang Xiaoxiao shook the grayish-white powder in the glass bottle in her hand, looking mysterious.
Everyone turned their attention to the bottle.
Li Wan'er asked curiously.
"Isn't this just white powder? Where are the germs you mentioned, Xiaoxiao?"
"Could it be these powders?"
Su Muwan picked up where she left off and asked.
The others did the same, all turning their heads to look.
Fang Xiaoxiao didn't hide anything and told everyone that the thing in her hand was a pathogen, and also explained how dangerous it was.
Because it is refined, its effects are more than ten times stronger than the virus in people who previously suffered from the plague. It can be said that just this small bottle could kill an entire city of Suzhou, and there would be no cure.
Her words startled the group, causing them to take a few steps back. Even Pei Yan couldn't help but swallow hard, his eyes darting away from his wife.
Russian qing.
Pei Yan, Fang Xiaoxiao, and Li Shizhen arrived at the entrance of the prefectural government office.
Previously, Li Shizhen had already sent someone to inform the prefect to wait at the yamen.
The prefect stood at the door waiting for the group.
When Fang Xiaoxiao saw the prefect, she immediately felt that he must be a very good official. If he were not a good official, he would have already fled with his family when he heard that the troops stationed outside the city were about to massacre the city. Why would he still be sitting in the city and presiding over the overall situation?
