After a cigarette, the sand and dust gradually dissipated, and when the dust settled, Pang Xiaonan stood on the edge of the sand pool, his camouflage uniform was stained with ash, his hair was messy, and a trace of blood oozed from the corner of his mouth. But around him, scattered a few senior students fell, either clutching their stomachs, or hugging their knees, or rubbing their feet, crying wolf.

Pang Xiaonan walked in front of Wang Gangqiang, who was still sitting on the ground, and said condescendingly: "Wang Gangqiang, remember your promise, don't trouble Chen Junjia again, and don't mess with our classmates again!" After speaking, Pang Xiaonan turned around and walked towards the playground without looking back.

Wang Gangqiang looked at all this in front of him dumbfounded, and looked at Pang Xiaonan's figure farther and farther away in a daze, until he disappeared from sight. Wang Gangqiang couldn't understand that a freshman had taught himself so badly.

Pang Xiaonan walked out of the playground, suddenly glanced back, and after confirming that Wang Gangqiang and they couldn't see him, he sat on the side of the road as soon as his body was weak, and began to rub and touch his whole body continuously, "Damn, it hurts me." Pang Xiaonan uncovered the hem of his clothes, and his stomach was blue and purple, "These beasts, pick up my soft places and beat them!"

Although there is a Yin and Yang spirit rhino to protect the body, after all, the other party is powerful, and the next is ruthless. In addition, Pang Xiaonan's cultivation is limited and his spiritual power is insufficient, so his protective power is also limited, and after being beaten by these people for a while, he was left with more than a dozen injuries, large and small.

"You have to speed up the progress of your cultivation, otherwise you will die miserably if you pretend to be forced in the future." Pang Xiaonan stood up crookedly against the wall, his body ached, and his stomach began to growl. Since I ate a lunch yesterday, Pang Xiaonan has not eaten rice for more than a day now, although he has absorbed the aura, he doesn't care if he is full, so Pang Xiaonan walked towards the cafeteria, fantasizing about the delicious meal in his head.

"Pang Xiaonan!" From a distance, Chen Junjia saw Pang Xiaonan and ran over.

"Are you okay?" Walking closer, Chen Junjia saw Pang Xiaonan covered in dirt, and there seemed to be injuries on his face, Chen Junjia asked with concern, his eyes were full of anxiety.

"It's okay, it's okay, don't worry, Wang Gangqiang won't trouble you again in the future. Pang Xiaonan grinned and forced a smile, but he felt that his face hurt a lot.

"What's wrong with your face, is it Wang Gangqiang that they beat you. Although Chen Junjia was wearing glasses, he still saw the bruises on Pang Xiaonan's face.

"We learned martial arts for a while, and he promised me that as long as I beat him, I would not trouble you again, in short, you can rest assured, ah. Pang Xiaonan patted Chen Junjia on the shoulder and signaled that he was fine, "Don't say it, let's go, I'm hungry, you haven't eaten, go to the cafeteria." ”

"Pang Xiaonan!" There was a person named Pang Xiaonan from afar, it was Zhang Ping, Pang Xiaonan smiled bitterly and greeted him.

Zhang Ping ran over to Pang Xiaonan and Chen Junjia, her chest trembled, and the wind blew her short hair and flowed up, which was simply a beautiful scenery on campus.

"They didn't do anything to you, did they?" Zhang Ping rushed over and raised Pang Xiaonan's arms with both hands, looking at Pang Xiaonan's whole body.

"Ah......h

"Ah, does it hurt here, or does it hurt here?" Zhang Ping put her hands up and down, lifted Pang Xiaonan's arm on the left, and pinched Pang Xiaonan's waist on the right.

"Don't move, don't move me!" Pang Xiaonan dodged Zhang Ping's magic hand and walked quickly towards the cafeteria.

"Pang Xiaonan, you're injured, follow me to the infirmary!" Zhang Ping followed.

Wang Gangqiang really didn't come to trouble Chen Junjia again, Huang Minghu and Li Dong asked Pang Xiaonan what happened that day, Pang Xiaonan said that sentence anyway: "I studied martial arts with Wang Gangqiang, and I defeated him by a narrow margin, and there was an agreement between us that as long as I won the battle, he would no longer trouble Chen Junjia." ”

Li Dong didn't believe it anyway: "Can you beat Wang Gangqiang? He is a champion of free fighting, and even I may not be able to beat him!"

"Cut!" The entire dormitory scoffed at Li Dong, no matter what, the facts were there, Wang Gangqiang had not appeared in the sight of Pang Xiaonan and his colleagues for a long time.

And since Zhang Ping took Pang Xiaonan to the infirmary that day, she always shushed Pang Xiaonan during recess: "Are you feeling better today?" "Do you feel uncomfortable, do you want to go to the hospital for a recheck?"

made Huang Minghu envious, and said to Pang Xiaonan: "I knew that I would stand up that day, even if I was beaten by Wang Gangqiang, I would be content to let Zhang Ping care about me so much." ”

Pang Xiaonan's injury is not serious, but the speed at which the injury is improving makes Pang Xiaonan a little worried, "Is it a lack of cultivation, I still feel a faint pain after so long, I have to find a way to speed up my cultivation, it is far from enough to absorb spiritual energy." ”

In order to reach the Qi Condensation Realm, it is necessary to absorb the spiritual energy, cooperate with the taking of pills, plus a certain amount of exercises, and add time to break through. When Pang Xiaonan had time, he went to the school and the mountains, forests and lakes near the school to see if he could find some natural treasures, but unfortunately, he returned in vain every time.

"What is the largest pharmacy in Huahai City?" Pang Xiaonan asked Chen Junjia, who was sitting in the dormitory playing on the computer, he was a local and should know some information.

"Jiurentang. Chen Junjia turned his head to look at Pang Xiaonan, "Why are you asking this? Is the injury not healed? What medicine do you want to buy, I'll buy it for you, you were injured because of me, tell me, what medicine do you want to buy?"

"It's okay, I'll just ask casually, my injury has long been healed, you see," Pang Xiaonan exaggerated the standard movements of calisthenics, "Is the posture good?

"It's okay, just tell me if you're uncomfortable, I haven't thanked you well for Wang Gangqiang's matter, don't be polite to me. ”

"Then tell me, what is the origin of this Jiurentang?" Pang Xiaonan pulled a chair, sat next to Chen Junjia, leaned on the back of the chair, and sincerely asked for advice.

"This Jiurentang is big, according to legend, it was founded by the imperial doctor 500 years ago, not only in Huahai City, but also in the country has a sales network, even the border cities have also involved. ”

"Chain stores. Pang Xiaonan echoed on the side.

Chen Junjia nodded and said: "It's not an ordinary chain store, it's a super chain, and it is said that more than 800 have been opened across the country." There are also many shops abroad. ”

"Is there any difference between this Jiurentang and ordinary chain pharmacies?" Pang Xiaonan said curiously, this pharmacy is better than the general chain fast food restaurant, the general fast food chain can reach 500 is the size of a listed company, is medicine better than rice.

Chen Junjia lifted his glasses and said, "Jiurentang is different from ordinary pharmacies, because it is not only a medicine business. ”

"Pharmacies don't sell medicines, so does it have any other business?" Pang Xiaonan said with great interest.

Chen Junjia got up and took out two bottles of drinks from the cabinet, which was the most popular "Wangnaoji" herbal tea in Huahai City, he handed a bottle to Pang Xiaonan, then sat down, opened the lid and took a sip and said: "There are many kinds of medicines, there are medicines for curing diseases, there are also medicines for tonics, and medicines for making ingredients, all of which are the business scope of Jiurentang. ”

Pang Xiaonan remembered the chicken soup and duck soup he had eaten before, in fact, chicken and duck meat were not expensive, but in order to stew soup and give full play to the effect of chicken and duck meat, many families had to add a lot of medicinal herbs to it, and the price of those medicinal materials may be much more expensive than chicken and duck meat.

"Jiurentang's business basically involves all aspects of the people's usual food tonics, such as if you have a cold and want to buy a cold medicine, it has it, you want to stew soup, stewed soup herbs, it has there, you want to strengthen your body, it also has all kinds of big tonic prescriptions, as long as you follow the prescription it gives to grab medicine. ”

Pang Xiaonan said thoughtfully: "I heard that there are three Confucianism, Buddhism and Taoism throughout the ages, Buddhism is like a department store, which has all kinds of department stores, and if you have money and time, you can go shopping, you can buy things after shopping, you can not buy things, you can not go shopping at all, but the society needs it." Taoism is like a pharmacy, you can not go if you are not sick, you must go if you are sick, and if a country or nation is sick, you must go to this pharmacy. The Confucian Confucian and Mencian ideas are grain stores, which are eaten every day. ”

In this way, this Jiurentang seems to synthesize the essence of the three schools of Confucianism, Buddhism and Taoism, and you can go shopping if you have anything to do. Pang Xiaonan summed up, opened the Wang Naoji handed over by Chen Junjia, and poured it into his mouth.

"You're right, Jiurentang is indeed such an existence, whether you know Jiurentang before or not, anyway, as long as you live in the city, you can really treat Jiurentang as a supermarket, after all, in our era, who can guarantee that they are 100% healthy? At least a little sub-healthy, right?"

"But I still have a question for you, is it the same in every store in Jiurentang? If I want to find some more expensive medicinal materials, it may not be available in every store, right?" Pang Xiaonan finally asked the ultimate goal, he just wanted to go to Jiurentang to find some rare medicinal materials in the world.

"Indeed, not every Jiurentang pharmacy can provide good medicinal materials, those small-scale semicolons can only sell some ordinary medicines, if you want to buy good medicinal materials, you must go to the main store of Jiurentang in every city, where they have collected the most valuable local medicinal materials. ”

Chen Junjia took a sip of Wangnaoji and continued: "But now the technology is very developed, like Wangnaoji, these big chain stores, the information is networked, last time I went to buy a foreign imported medicine, I asked in the Jiurentang store near our community, that store did not have it, but the clerk checked, the head office has it, I paid there, and then the head office delivered it to the door." ”

"Where is the head office in Huahai City?" Pang Xiaonan went to the head office to find it if he wanted to, the information network of the next branch was still not so solid after all, and seeing was believing, he needed to estimate the spiritual power of the medicinal materials.

"On Tokyo Road. ”

The next night, Pang Xiaonan took the No. 3 bus to Tokyo Road.

Tokyo Road is a pedestrian street in Huahai City, which can be said to be the representative street of Huahai City, with a large number of shops on the road, gathering most of the well-known brands of Huaguo, and the road is full of people coming and going, bustling, and lively.

Pang Xiaonan searched along Tokyo Road, and finally found the signboard of Jiurentang in a neon flashing place. The signboard was carved from a single piece of wood, and the three gold powder characters of "Jiurentang" illuminated by the spotlights below were shining.

Pang Xiaonan walked into the Jiurentang main store, the furnishings inside can be said to be magnificent, the counter made of solid wood looks extremely high-end, and the medicinal materials inside look unfathomable under the reflection of the lights.

At the door, a girl wearing antique clothes said "Welcome" to Pang Xiaonan with a smile on her face, and then stretched her right hand inside, signaling customers to go in and make purchases.

Pang Xiaonan walked into Jiurentang and immediately turned on his spiritual sense to explore the high-grade medicinal materials in the store.

To Pang Xiaonan's disappointment, this so-called Jiuzhitang main store did not surprise him with natural treasures, only a barely qualified old mountain entered his magic eye.

Pang Xiaonan waved to the clerk, and a boy in his twenties dressed in Hanfu walked over and asked politely, "This gentleman, how can I help you?" Although the boy was polite and polite, his words were really mechanical, because he saw that Pang Xiaonan was just a student in camouflage uniform.

"Hello, may I ask, how do you sell that old ginseng in your store?" Pang Xiaonan did not beat around the bush, and directly stated the purpose of his trip.

The male clerk was slightly stunned, he rarely met such a straightforward customer, the old ginseng was not displayed on the counter, but placed in the medicine cabinet, because ordinary people would not ask about such a valuable item.

Since Pang Xiaonan asked, the male clerk only regarded him as an old customer in the store, and he didn't say much, and directly quoted the price, "Oh, that old ginseng is the treasure of our store, and the price is 99999." ”

Pang Xiaonan was speechless, an old mountain ginseng is priced at 100,000 yuan, although it is not a high price compared to its value, but for him at this stage, it is a sky-high price.

The male clerk looked down on Pang Xiaonan a little, because Pang Xiaonan was dressed in camouflage uniform, and he looked like a student at first glance. The male clerk has been in Huahai City for many years, and he knows that these gentlemen are willing to spend money on cars, but they may not be happy to buy medicines.

"Oh, got it. Pang Xiaonan smiled faintly, turned around and walked out of Jiurentang. Tokyo Road is flashing neon and bustling, but Pang Xiaonan has no intention of appreciating it, he has only one wish: "It seems that you have to work hard to make money, the medicinal materials of Huaguo are really expensive!" Pang Xiaonan looked left and right for a while, and walked towards the bus stop.

There are a lot of shops on Tokyo Road, Pang Xiaonan saw a 10 yuan store, and couldn't help but wonder in his heart, every inch of land on Tokyo Road is expensive, and the rent of the store alone is tens of thousands, how can this 10 yuan store survive?

Pang Xiaonan inserted his trouser pocket, touched the Yin Yang Lingxi, and suddenly thought that although the Yin Yang Lingxi can be big or small, it is not a matter to put it in a bag after all, if it is changed or accidentally taken out, it will be difficult to find, you have to buy a hanging chain, it is best to tie it around your neck, thinking of this, Pang Xiaonan paced into the 10 yuan store.

It turns out that this 10 yuan store is just a gimmick, there are indeed many items in it that are only sold for 10 yuan, but those are very poor goods, if you want to buy something that looks a little high-grade, it is not only a few times that of 10 yuan.

Pang Xiaonan chose for a long time, and finally chose a 20 yuan necklace, which was a red rope hanging from the sunflower, and the rope was tied in the hollow of the two petals of the sunflower, the structure was very simple, but the rope was very thick. Pang Xiaonan thought that after buying it back, he would remove the sunflower and tie the rope to the left and right of the yin and yang spirit rhino, and he would be able to make a necklace.

Coming out of the 10 yuan store, Pang Xiaonan walked to the bus station, and I have to say that Guoan University of Science and Technology is really a landmark in Huahai City, because the bus company specially opened Line 3 from Guoan University of Science and Technology to Tokyo Road, which is very thoughtful for the students of Guoan University of Science and Technology.

When he arrived at the terminal of the No. 3 bus, Pang Xiaonan found that although it was late at night, it was almost 10 o'clock in the evening, but there were still many people waiting for the bus.

There are many buses passing by this station, sent to various areas of Huahai City, Pang Xiaonan took a look, and found a lot of beautiful women in hot clothes, in the end it is a pedestrian street, and those who come to shop at night are fashionable trendsetters: there are hot girls wearing miniskirts, there are also beautiful girls wearing Hanfu, and there are secondary two young people cosplaying.

A bus stopped, it was No. 3, which was the last bus to the university town where the University of Science and Technology was located, Pang Xiaonan hurriedly got on the bus, threw 2 one-yuan coins, and sat at the back of the bus.

Guoan University of Science and Technology is a relatively remote place in Huahai City, and the people who live there are either students and teachers, or rich people, because rich people don't know how to take the bus, so at this time, the students who are still hitchhiking are basically students, and the teachers don't have the leisure to go shopping.

About 40 minutes later, the No. 3 bus arrived at the Guoan University of Science and Technology Station, and a warm female voice came from the radio: There are passengers going to the University of Homeland Security Science and Technology, Teachers' New Village, and Yutaishan Forest Park, please prepare to get off.

Pang Xiaonan was the first to stand up, at this point, there were not too many people taking the bus, but Pang Xiaonan found that he got off the bus with him, and there was a beautiful woman in jeans and a T-shirt, it was not Pang Xiaonan who was lustful, but at this point in time, the tight-fitting clothes set off the concave and convex lines of the beauty so much, which made Pang Xiaonan look sideways a little.

After getting out of the car, Pang Xiaonan walked towards the National Security University of Science and Technology, and after walking a few steps, he heard a scream: "Catch the thief!"

Pang Xiaonan turned around and saw that it was the beautiful woman who got out of the car with him who was calling, and following the direction of her call, he saw a man fleeing into the distance.

To help or not to help? That's the question. In the past, Pang Xiaonan would rush over desperately, and catching a little thief was a matter of effort for him. But now he Pang Xiaonan is still an ordinary person, he is still a poor student, and it is always a little bad to be strong, and if he gets into trouble, it will hinder his cultivation.

Just when Pang Xiaonan hesitated and was about to turn back to school, the beautiful woman turned around and saw Pang Xiaonan, and shouted at Pang Xiaonan: "Classmate, catch the thief!

This is embarrassing, and everyone asks for help. Pang Xiaonan looked around, it was late at night, and there were only two people on this empty street, he and the beauty, oh, and a thief who rushed out a few hundred meters.

"Hey, the meeting in Pingshui can be regarded as fate. Pang Xiaonan rushed out towards the place where the thief had fled, and when he passed by the beauty, he found that the beauty was wearing high heels, no wonder she didn't chase herself.

The thief has run away, and there is basically no one, but this is not difficult for Pang Xiaonan.

Pang Xiaonan turned on his spiritual sense and locked onto a frantically fleeing figure a few hundred meters in front of him, and he followed without hesitation.

In just over a minute, Pang Xiaonan easily caught up with the thief, and when he got closer, Pang Xiaonan saw clearly that this was a young man wearing a round-neck T-shirt and cropped pants, with yellow hair on one head.

"Stop!" Pang Xiaonan shouted.

At this time, the street was deserted, there was no one at all, and the dim street lamps stretched Pang Xiaonan's figure. The thief froze, turned around, and found that he was chasing him with a thin student, and immediately said viciously: "Boy, are you tired of living? You dare to take care of Lao Tzu's affairs, get out!"

Pang Xiaonan yawned and said weakly: "You put down the bag, I'll get out." "The thief has a delicate women's bag in his hand, or a donkey brand, and it looks like he just robbed the beauty. In this way, it is a robbery, not a steal.

Huang Mao snorted and sneered: "Okay, I'll put the bag down." After saying that, he really put the bag on the road, then crossed his hands in front of his chest, looked at Pang Xiaonan and said, "You can get out." ”

Pang Xiaonan put his hands in his pockets and said: "It seems that I didn't make it clear, I mean, you put the bag down, you roll first, and then I take the bag and roll again." ”

"Look for death!" Huang Mao didn't say anything more, and threw a punch at Pang Xiaonan, Pang Xiaonan easily dodged, and then threw a knee and hit Huang Mao in the abdomen.

"Ah......" Huang Mao immediately squatted down, clutching his stomach in pain. Pang Xiaonan didn't look at him, walked straight to the front of the donkey brand bag, bent down to pick up the bag, and turned back.

Huang Mao was lying on the ground, panting in his mouth, and when he saw Pang Xiaonan holding the bag and leaving, he shouted at Pang Xiaonan: "I remember you, you are a student of the National Security University of Science and Technology, you put down the bag if you know each other, dare to provoke our hungry wolf gang, I will let you go around without eating!"

Pang Xiaonan looked down at his camouflage uniform, with the school emblem of the National Security University of Science and Technology embroidered on his chest, and he sighed: "Hey, don't wear camouflage uniforms in the future, you will be recognized for doing good deeds and doing bad things." ”

But Pang Xiaonan didn't stop, the threat of a gangster was not enough to stop him, besides, a gang that made a living by stealing and robbing, and a hungry wolf gang, there was nothing to be afraid of.

After walking back a few hundred meters, and seeing the beautiful woman who was panting and trotting all the way, Pang Xiaonan stepped forward and handed over the bag, saying, "Let's see if there is anything missing." Pang Xiaonan smelled a smell of wine, and it seemed that this woman had not drunk less.

The beauty rummaged through her bag and thanked her repeatedly: "No less, nothing less, thank you classmate, thanks to you, otherwise I would be in trouble." ”

"No thanks, but it's better to come back early in the future, it's dangerous at night. After speaking, Pang Xiaonan walked towards the campus of Guoan University of Science and Technology.

"Wait a minute, classmate!" the beauty stopped Pang Xiaonan, and then took out a wallet in her bag, "There are 1,000 yuan here, I don't bring much cash when I go out, so I will take it as a reward for thanking you, and I will have the opportunity to thank you in person in the future." ”

1,000 yuan? Pang Xiaonan couldn't wait to take the 1,000 yuan ticket and slap this woman's big mouth fiercely, and take him Pang Xiaonan as a food? But he suddenly remembered that he was a poor student, just so good, and he was still short of money to buy tonics, so he took the 1,000 yuan without hesitation.

"Then I'll be respectful and obey, although 1,000 yuan is a bit less. Pang Xiaonan said without any expression on his face.

"My name is Zhang Yao, my fair lady's aunt, I teach in the Department of Foreign Languages of the National Security University of Science and Technology, you can come to me if you have any difficulties in the future. The beauty introduced herself, she looked at Pang Xiaonan, guessing that this was a bitter child from the mountains, and couldn't help but feel pity.

"Oh?" Pang Xiaonan couldn't help but look at Zhang Yao, if he dressed like this in class, how could anyone skip class in class? Where would anyone sleep?

"What, don't you look like a teacher?" Zhang Yao laughed at herself, "I don't dress like this in class, today I went to jump with my friends." ”

Pang Xiaonan couldn't help but imagine the picture of Zhang Yao's blood spurting, but he retracted the wings of his imagination in 2 seconds and returned to reality, "If it's okay, I'll go back to school first, Teacher Zhang." ”

"Eh, classmate, you haven't introduced yourself yet? Besides, you just said that the night is dangerous, you good people do it to the end, can you send me home? If that gangster comes back just now, it will be really dangerous. Zhang Yao looked at Pang Xiaonan worriedly, and the evening breeze blew her big waves, which was very charming.

It seems that the 1,000 yuan is not so easy to earn, Pang Xiaonan said: "My name is Pang Xiaonan, a freshman in the Department of Quantum Mechanics of the National Security Branch. Let's go, I'll send you home. ”

Zhang Yao lives in the teacher's new village next to the National Security University of Science and Technology, and there is a security guard on duty at the door, so Pang Xiaonan said goodbye to Zhang Yao at the door of the community and walked to the school. On the way, Pang Xiaonan took out 10 tickets for 100, and couldn't help but feel a little helpless: The wild ginseng costs 100,000 yuan, what can you do with this money.

By the way, I'm going to buy a mobile phone tomorrow, I've been at school for so long, and I should make a phone call home to put my parents at ease. Pang Xiaonan thought so, and soon arrived at the dormitory, the roommates had already fallen asleep, and he also took a cold break and went to bed and fell asleep.

After the military training the next day, Pang Xiaonan first went to the canteen to eat, then went back to the dormitory to take a shower, changed into clean clothes, and went to Sanshan Town, next to the National Security University of Science and Technology.

This Sanshan Town was originally a small fishing village in Huahai City, because several universities were built here to gradually prosper, because of the university, the surrounding electronics industry is also extremely prosperous, this Guoan University of Science and Technology is not far from a huge electronic trading market - Guoan North.

Guoan North Road is a main road, and both sides of the road are lined with various electronics industry stores, large and small. Guoanbei can not only buy regular brands of computers, mobile phones, smart hardware and other equipment, all kinds of unknown brands will also find a stall or rent a store here to show customers their products, which is commonly known as copycat machines. In Guoan North, only you can't think of it, and there is nothing you can't buy.
