Chapter 1439: Overcoming the Tribulation (IV)
Lin Nanqing spent a lot of money to find only a few precious medicinal materials in Zhongqu City, which were far from the eighteen medicinal herbs mentioned by the doctor, but she never gave up.
Every time he had free time, he would personally search for it in the major pharmacies in Nanyu City, hoping to find something. But what she didn't know was that Li Ancheng had already privately told the owners of these pharmacies that they were not allowed to sell to her. medicinal materials.
Therefore, every time Lin Nanqing came to the drug store to inquire, he got nothing, and he never found any precious medicinal materials in Nanyu City.
Not long after, the group of three arrived at a location called Mengshan Medicine Shop. Lin Nanqing came in and asked the old man in the medicine shop: "Excuse me, did your Mengshan Medicine Shop purchase agarwood, gecko, thousand-year-old ginseng, thousand-year-old Ganoderma lucidum, Five hundred years of Polygonum multiflorum..."
She told her all the medicinal materials she needed at once, but the old man still looked guilty and said, "I'm sorry, Miss Lin, these medicinal materials are really unavailable, they are too rare."
Lin Nanqing was not surprised when she heard what the old man said, but she still couldn't hide her feeling of disappointment. She didn't say anything more and silently turned around and walked outside the drug store.
At this time, the old man sighed softly, showing his helplessness. He didn't want to help Lin Nanqing find medicinal materials, but he couldn't do this, otherwise his medicine shop would close down.
Ye Yunfan observed the old man's expression in his eyes, and he also had a hint of doubt, and he also saw the old man caressing an exquisite jade box.
This kind of jade box is usually used to place top-quality medicinal materials, and ordinary medicinal materials will not be placed inside.
Ye Yunfan felt that there must be good things in the jade box, but he didn't take it out for sale. Looking at the expression of regret and helplessness, he guessed that there must be a hidden secret in it.
After leaving Mengshan Drug Store, Ye Yunfan followed Lin Nanqing to several drug stores, but the result was the same, he could not buy any medicinal materials.
Lin Nanqing, who came out of the drug store at this time, felt very disappointed. She slowly walked to a tea stall and sat down. Xiao Lan and Ye Yunfan also sat down.
Before Ye Yunfan could speak, Xiao Lan rushed to comfort him: "Miss, we in Nanyu City may have scarce medicinal materials. If we don't have them here, we can go to Zhongqu City to purchase them, and we will always get them."
"I'm afraid that my father won't be able to wait until that day... Sigh..." Lin Nanqing picked up a cup of tea and drank it in one gulp, revealing her worries.
"I think it's not that the drug store owner doesn't have the medicinal materials, but that they didn't sell them to you." Ye Yunfan's words stunned both women for a moment.
Lin Nanqing quickly recovered and said, "What do you mean by this?"
“I found that every drugstore owner’s demeanor was very unnatural, as if he wanted to say something but couldn’t say it, or wanted to do something but couldn’t do it.
I found exquisite jade boxes from two of the drug shop owners, which can only be used to store precious medicinal materials. This can prove that not every drug shop owner has the medicinal materials that the lady wants, but they just do not sell them to the lady. "
Ye Yunfan explained.
"That's unreasonable...you mean those drug stores don't sell medicinal materials to us ladies?" Xiao Lan said angrily when she heard this.
"Lin Chen! Are you sure?" Lin Nanqing calmed down and said.
"It shouldn't be wrong. I think the owners of those drug stores have difficulties and cannot do your business." Ye Yunfan's words reminded her of something.
"Did he do it?" Lin Nanqing was furious, but she had no evidence and could not argue with the other party.
"Lin Chen, do you have any idea? I need medicinal materials to save my father. My father's health is getting worse day by day. I'm really worried that he won't be able to hold on until I can find all the medicinal materials for him..."
Lin Nanqing couldn't imagine the consequences. Her mother left her when she was born because of childbirth. It was her father who grew up with her and gave her a good life.
"There is no way at the moment, but I think if someone can interfere with your purchase of medicinal materials to treat your father, that person can also do other things, so..."
Ye Yunfan didn't finish all he said, but Lin Nanqing seemed to understand something, and his face suddenly turned pale.
"What do you mean...do you mean that the doctor I saw last time was also arranged by them?" Lin Nanqing was a little unbelievable.
"It's hard to say! I think you should go back and check on your father first to see if he is sick." Ye Yunfan suggested.
Xiaolan was shocked when she heard Ye Yunfan's words, her eyes widened. Lin Nanqing was thinking about it and was terrified. Thinking back to what happened before, she suddenly had a bad feeling.
"Let's go! Go back first!"
Lin Nanqing was originally going to ask a doctor to check her father again, but Ye Yunfan reminded her that if the entire pharmacy couldn't buy the medicinal materials she wanted, then the doctor she invited might be of no use.
After a while, the three of them returned to Lin's house. Lin Zhenshan was still lying in his house. Now it was slightly difficult for him to even get up and move, and his face was getting worse and worse.
He looked desperately ill. Lin Nanqing felt very uncomfortable seeing her father so weak, but there was nothing she could do to help.
"How about I come and take a look?" Ye Yunfan said.
"Huh? Do you know medical skills?" Lin Nanqing asked in surprise.
"I don't know how...but I want to give it a try." Ye Yunfan's answer made Xiaolan on the side very angry.
"Don't you, Lin Chen? You don't know the medical skills but you still come to see me for treatment. Aren't you looking for trouble?
This is not for you to learn to ride a horse. Even if you fall while riding a horse, you will still hurt yourself. If you go to see a doctor, you will hurt the master. "Xiaolan gave him a lesson.
"Xiaolan! Shut up!"
Lin Nanqing didn't know why, but felt that Ye Yunfan was too calm, as if he didn't care about anything, and as if he had everything under control.
It felt very strange to her. After Lin Nanqing thought for a moment, she decided to let Ye Yunfan take a look.
"Lin Chen, my father's condition is complicated. I have gone to no less than ten doctors, but they all couldn't cure him. They just gave me a prescription and asked me to gather the ingredients.
I can agree to let you try it, but you have to promise not to mess around. "
Lin Nanqing made a bold decision.
Ye Yunfan nodded, and then the two women moved out of the way. He slowly came to the bedside. Looking at Lin Zhenshan, who looked very pale, he did not feel his pulse.
Instead, he checked his whole body and found that there was a black energy on Lin Zhenshan's chest, and this black energy continued to condense and grow.
"If my guess is correct, Mr. Lin should be poisoned, not sick. This is a chronic poison that slowly accumulates in the body.
When it reaches a certain level, it will explode completely, and then Mr. Lin will die. "
Ye Yunfan pointed at Lin Zhenshan's chest and said.
Lin Nanqing and Xiao Lan looked over respectively, and were shocked by the clearly visible black energy.
