Chapter 207: Seeking Medicine
"Excuse me, do you know where Chen Fang's pharmacy is?" Liu Hua walked towards an old woman in simple clothes with a hint of pleading in his tone.
The old woman looked up, a hint of surprise flashed in her eyes, and then she smiled. "Chen Fang's pharmacy? Many people in our town know her! Just go forward, turn left, and you'll see it after you pass that alley."
"Thank you, grandma!" Liu Hua felt relieved and grateful. He bowed deeply to the strange old woman, turned around and walked quickly in the direction she pointed.
Along the way, the streets were still bustling, with different hawking sounds mixed together, and various aromas filling his nose, making him unable to resist the temptation. However, his longing for Chen Fang overwhelmed everything, and Liu Hua hurriedly walked until he came to the entrance of the alley.
"Sure enough!" Liu Hua was delighted and sensed the familiar scent of medicine. He followed the scent and the shop in front came into view.
"The pharmacy is not far away." Liu Hua was relieved, but when he pushed open the door, he was greeted by a busy scene. Behind the counter, Chen Fang was lowering her head to sort out the herbs on display. Her focused expression made her look particularly charming. Liu Hua silently admired her in his heart and couldn't help himself.
"Chen Fang!" He couldn't help but shout loudly, the excitement in his heart was beyond words.
Chen Fang looked up when she heard the voice. She was stunned for a moment, then showed a look of joy. "Brother Liu! You're here!" She walked out of the counter quickly, with a delightful smile on her face, like a blooming flower.
"I came all the way to see you." Liu Hua said, the fire in her eyes seemed to light up her smile even brighter. "Everyone in the village misses you very much, I'm here to take you back."
"Really?" Chen Fang's tone was mixed with a little surprise, and then she regained her composure, her eyes shining with longing for her hometown. "How are the villagers? I've been thinking about them all the time."
"Everyone is fine and is waiting for you to come back." Liu Hua said seriously, his heart moved, as if he saw the light flashing in her eyes because of this sentence.
"I... I like the life here very much, and I hope to bring back what I have learned." Chen Fang lowered her head slightly, with a hint of complicated emotions in her tone, "But I still need more time to study."
Liu Hua nodded, trying to understand her feelings, and said gently: "I understand your determination. As long as you have this concern in your heart, there will be that day, right?"
A hint of determination gradually appeared in Chen Fang's eyes, "Yes, I want to do more for the village." She clenched her hands quietly, as if to encourage herself.
"Then I beg you, Kawakami, to take care of yourself." Liu Hua continued, his tone showing concern. Turning to look at the shelves of the pharmacy, "Your business here is good. It seems that you are getting better and better here."
"These are the expiration dates of the herbs." Chen Fang smiled slightly, her eyes filled with pride. "I will arrange these herbs carefully, hoping to help more people."
"You are amazing!" Liu Hua praised sincerely and couldn't help looking around her. Seeing the aroma of medicine in the pharmacy and some simple prescriptions hanging on the walls, his heart was filled with sincere admiration.
"Thank you for your support. In fact, I have been busy preparing some prescriptions recently, and I hope you can convey my thoughts to everyone." Chen Fang said with a serious tone.
"No problem. I will definitely take your words back." Liu Hua showed great interest in her story. "Have you ever thought about teaching the children in the village about the prescription?"
"This is what I have always wanted to do." Chen Fang nodded slightly, with a determined light in her eyes. "I hope to choose some simple and easy-to-understand prescriptions so that children can also learn and help them master some common sense in life."
"That's a great idea!" Liu Hua clapped his hands excitedly, secretly admiring her great ambition. "If you need me, I'd be happy to be your assistant!"
"Haha, that's great. Your support makes me feel powerful." Chen Fang smiled and started her familiar communication mode, which instantly warmed the atmosphere of the entire pharmacy.
"What should I do next?" Liu Hua asked with concern, and then noticed a pot of herbs by the wall. "What is this? Maybe I can help?"
"This is actually a healthy herb that can help villagers strengthen their immunity." Chen Fang smiled and pointed to the pot of herbs. "But we need to take better care of them now, otherwise they will be very fragile."
The passerby was slightly startled when he heard this, and then he smiled warmly. "It's on that street, go!" He pointed to the busy street ahead, his eyes full of encouragement, as if conveying the beautiful expectation of the upcoming reunion.
"Thank you!" Liu Hua bowed deeply to him, grateful in his heart, and walked quickly in the direction he was directed. His eager heartbeat seemed to accelerate with his steps, and the dream reunion seemed to be waiting in front of him.
Along the way, the bluestone road was filled with busy people. Liu Hua was attracted by the surrounding scenes: there were jugglers performing for money, dancing with colorful silk in their hands; there were also barbecue vendors, with shiny meat skewers sizzling on the charcoal fire, emitting a mouth-watering aroma. He couldn't help but feel happy, but the longing for Chen Fang still drove him and forced him not to stop.
"Go!" The words of passers-by lingered in his ears, like a spring breeze, making him feel relaxed and powerful. Liu Hua walked past the stalls, turned left and right, until he gradually approached the place he was looking forward to. After a few more steps, he saw a small shop in the distance filled with the fragrance of medicine gradually appearing. The chirping of birds, the sound of clear water and the whispers coming from the shop intertwined into a moving melody.
"This is Chen Fang's pharmacy!" Liu Hua felt excited and happy. He quickened his pace and opened the door of the pharmacy.
"Ding Dong--" the doorbell rang, and the atmosphere in the store became warm and friendly. Various kinds of medicinal materials were hung on the wall, and the fresh aroma of medicines filled the air, as if making people feel a breath of vitality. Bottles and jars of various colors were neatly placed, and the aroma of prescriptions and herbs mixed together, creating a tranquil and mysterious atmosphere.
Just as he was looking around, Chen Fang came out of the pharmacy at the back. When she saw Liu Hua, she couldn't help but smile. "Brother Liu, you're really here!"
"I'm finally here!" Liu Hua forced a smile, unable to conceal his excitement, as if all his fatigue and worries disappeared in an instant. "I heard a lot about your place on the way."
"It's worth mentioning that everyone likes the medicinal herbs here." Chen Fang's eyes sparkled, and she looked happy and proud. "The business here is pretty good. Thank you for your continued support!"
"This is what I should do. Everyone is thinking about you." Liu Hua said sincerely, with concern in his eyes. "I came here specially just to say hello to you and bring you some greetings from the village."
"Anyway, it's great to see you." Chen Fang smiled slightly, the tenderness in the corners of her eyes seemed to convey warmth. Then she pointed to the herbs next to her and asked, "Look, I've been studying these health secrets for the villagers recently."
"Very good!" Liu Hua felt more relaxed as he participated in it. "You must be the best pharmacist here!"
"No, these are just some of the knowledge I learned." She said softly, but she couldn't hide her pride. Then she continued to introduce the herbs next to her, "This medicine here can cure colds, and that one is used to regulate the body."
"You are really good." Liu Hua was full of praise, and felt Chen Fang's passion and focus on treating others. Time passed in their communication, and before they knew it, the atmosphere in the store became more harmonious.
At this moment, a customer came in with a sick elderly person at home. Liu Hua's heart moved, and he noticed that Chen Fang immediately became serious and began to carefully inquire about the customer's condition.
"Excuse me, what's the matter with the old man's illness?" she asked professionally and gently.
"The old man has been coughing, and his condition sometimes gets better and sometimes gets worse, and he often has a fever." The customer was a little anxious, holding the prescription tightly in his hand, looking very helpless.
"I happen to have some suitable prescriptions here that can regulate her body and make her get better slowly." Chen Fang's loud and clear voice made people feel the invisible power.
Listening to their interaction, Liu Hua felt a sense of pride. He felt that Chen Fang was not just a simple pharmacist in the pharmacy, but also the hope and light of many patients. She worked hard and gained every praise and trust.
