The pharmacy was indeed unusually noisy all year round. Inside the shop, there was a woman holding a six or seven-year-old boy, wailing and pounding her chest. On the other side, there was a man, presumably the woman's husband, gripping a young man who was dressed in a white suit, seemingly just returned from studying abroad.

The young man seemed overwhelmed with annoyance, while the man clung tightly to him, fearing that he would escape.

As soon as the shopkeeper's assistant saw Xu Hang, he hurriedly approached and said, "The boss is finally here. Look at what's happening... We can't do any business with all this noise!"

What's going on?"

The buddy lowered his voice and spoke slowly. It turns out that this family of three went to Chenghuang Temple this morning to burn incense. They bought Qingming snacks for the child at the temple entrance. The child ate too hastily and suddenly choked. They couldn't swallow or spit it out, and immediately collapsed.

This family was helpless as they resorted to beating and pushing, seeing the child's eyes roll back in distress. It was at this moment that a young man emerged from the crowd.

The young man glanced at them and said that they needed to go to a well-equipped hospital or pharmacy. However, the temple was too far away, and they might not make it in time. The couple immediately knelt down and begged the young man for help. The young man explained that he wasn't a qualified medical student and his hands were not clean, so he didn't dare to provide treatment.

In the end, seeing them cry and kowtow in a pitiful manner, I could only take out a pen and stab it into the child's chest, and then bring the child to the He Ming Medicine Store before finally catching my breath.

Interestingly, while the child was saved, this couple insisted on keeping the young man and demanded that he pay for the injury on their chest. They were afraid that if any unforeseen complications arose, they would be held accountable.

At this moment, the woman began to scream, "Oh my goodness, my poor child! It was just a little too eager to eat the fruit, and it ended up getting a bloody hole! This is an attempt to murder!"

The young man appeared visibly amused, as he had apparently become exasperated. There was a disdainful expression on his face, as if he couldn't be bothered to argue with someone of this level. Onlookers in the store were also pointing fingers and whispering, expressing their contempt towards such a person.

Xu Hang watched indifferently for a moment before finally speaking up: "Get out of here."

His voice was not loud, but it carried a unique power, as cold and piercing as unfrozen spring water, sending shivers down one's spine. The staff members all turned their attention to Xu Hang, their ears perked up, thinking they had misheard. Xu Hang pointed at the couple holding a child and repeated, "Kick them out, don't even accept their money. Any bandages or medicinal ointments that have come into contact with them should be thrown out together with them. My He Ming Pharmacy does not serve such patients."

"Yes!" The companions had long been fed up, but they dared not act recklessly due to the reputation of the pharmacy. When the boss spoke, they quickly got to work.

The couple's faces turned pale, and the woman even lay on the ground screaming, "We're going to die! Is the pharmacy also refusing to help the dying?!"

A shopkeeper, upon hearing this, rudely grabbed the woman and dragged her towards the door. Pointing to a sign on the door, he sneered, "We don't help those who are dying; our pharmacy operates under the principle of 'three no rescues'!"

The husband and wife, upon hearing this, opened their eyes wide and took a good look. However, after staring for a while, they were still in the dark. It turned out that the person was an illiterate commoner.

At this moment, Xu Hang slowly recited, "Failure to save those who commit adultery and plunder, failure to save those who smoke and drink excessively, failure to save those who forget gratitude and betray righteousness. The last one, it's referring to people like you."

"Did you hear clearly? If you heard clearly, hurry up and leave. Don't you see where this is?" The waiters pushed and shoved, hurriedly driving the couple out.

The couple continued to argue and even banged their heads on the door. The shopkeeper couldn't stand it any longer, so he rushed out with wide eyes and a twisted chin, assuming a fierce look and scolded, "You ignorant fools! Let me tell you, even the Commander doesn't dare shout so loudly in our medicine shop. Are you trying to outdo the Commander? If you cause any more trouble, I'll have a military officer come and deal with you!"

As soon as they heard the military officer, this whole family felt like their throats were being clenched. They stared at each other wide-eyed for a while, but ultimately, unwillingly and dejectedly, they walked away.

In the medicine shop, after Xu Hang finished his work, he went to the counter and looked at yesterday's accounts. The young man walked up and extended his hand, saying, "Thank you for your help. My name is Yuan Ye. It's quite an adventure to encounter such a thing right after returning to the country. Thank you very much."

Xu Hang stared at the hand, the joints were long, and there were no calluses, it didn't seem like the hand of someone who could heal. He didn't shake hands in return, just calmly said, "No need to thank me, it's not for your sake, I just dislike people making a racket in the store."

Yuan Ye still maintained that posture: "But you still helped me, so I consider you a friend... Oh, sorry, that was a bit presumptuous."

Perhaps it was a habit acquired while studying abroad. Xuhang still reached out his hand, but only managed to grasp the other person's first knuckle, before immediately retracting it, as if skimming the surface of the water with a dragonfly: "Things are different here in the country compared to overseas. The world is in chaos, and you can't always escape so easily."

"Um... maybe, but I would still do the same if I encounter such a situation again." Yuan Ye smiled, without any resentment after being bitten. It was rare to see such a pure and innocent heart.

The hustle and bustle of He Ming Medicine Shop quickly died down after a while, completely drowned out by the hustle and bustle of the mortal world, disappearing without a trace.

However, in the concession area, the smell of gunpowder inside the British Consulate is not so pleasant.
