White Snake: I am a Swordsman

Chapter 45: Baoan Hall Opens

In the blink of an eye, a whole night passed.

The end of Hefang Street is unusually lively today.

Because a pharmacy had recently opened, the owner of the pharmacy was Dr. Xu, who had been the talk of the town in Hangzhou for several days because of his grand wedding.

"The bronze man of acupuncture is here!"

"Doctor Xu, where is this pharmacology chart hung?"

"Excuse me! Don't damage the cabinet!"

"Doctor Xu! I wish your business is prosperous!"

"Dr. Xu finally opened a shop!"

The store was bustling both inside and outside.

The workers carried the furnishings bought by Xu Xian into the store one by one. Although they were sweating profusely, they all had happy smiles on their faces.

Because Xu Xian was generous, he paid twice the usual salary.

The workers were happy and therefore worked harder.

Xu Xian stood outside the shop, greeting the neighbors who came to show their support after hearing the news.

People from the north and south of the city, from the alleys and docks, who had received his kindness, came in waves to congratulate him, and at most times the streets were blocked!

Xiaobai is organizing the medicine cabinet in the store.

Xiaoqing was by her side.

"Sister, that book of techniques for overcoming tribulations is really ingenious, and contains all kinds of methods that can help one overcome tribulations!"

Xiao Qing said happily: "Now you don't have to worry about overcoming the tribulation!"

She and Xiaobai stayed up all night, studying the "Art of Overcoming Tribulation" until dawn.

Finally confirmed that the content inside is indeed useful.

She was happy for Xiaobai from the bottom of her heart.

Just when I was planning to overcome the tribulation, a book called "The Art of Overcoming the Tribulation" came along.

Wonderful!
"Thanks, sir." Xiaobai looked at Xu Xian's back with happiness on his face.

She thought to herself, this must be God’s will!

Just as she was hesitating about whether to overcome the tribulation, the official fished out a book on how to do so.

Isn't this God's will?
Xiao Qing pursed her lips and said, "Xu Xian caught this fish."

She didn't know how to comment.

It is said that Xu Xian is a good fisherman, but after sitting by the lake for half a day, he couldn't even catch a small fish the size of a palm.

It can be said that Xu Xian’s fishing was not very good, but he managed to catch a book called “The Art of Overcoming Tribulation” which his sister urgently needed.

It’s incredible!
I don’t know which master sank the “Treasure of Overcoming Tribulation” into the lake and when?
There were so many anglers by the lake, but they had been fishing for years without catching anything. Yet Xu Xian managed to catch one!

This can really only be attributed to God's will.

"Sister, how confident are you that you can survive the tribulation now?" Xiaoqing blinked, her eyes full of curiosity.

Xiao Bai smiled: "Eighty percent!"

"Wow!" Xiao Qing exclaimed, "Isn't that a sure thing?"

She thought to herself that overcoming the tribulation was an act against heaven, and an ordinary snake demon would be thankful if he had a 50% chance of success, but her sister had an 80% chance!

My sister’s transformation into a dragon is just around the corner!
"Madam, the plaque has arrived. What do you think is a suitable name for our pharmacy?" Xu Xian walked in from outside.

He glanced at Xiaoqing calmly.

He thought, I'm only 80% sure, and there's still a 20% chance of failure, so how can it be 100% certain?

Besides, being 90% sure is not certain either!
Overcoming tribulation is a big deal. How can you dare to do it if you are not 190% sure?
Store name? Xiaobai turned around.

In an instant, a vague voice came from memory.

"If you become a doctor, you don't have to catch snakes!"

"Bao'an Hall!"

Xiao Bai smiled and said gently, "Husband, how about calling him Bao'an Tang?"

Xu Xian was slightly startled.

A new memory surfaced in the depths of his mind.

“This is riding the wind!”

"A carefree journey between heaven and earth!"

In a trance, he saw himself holding an umbrella and flying between the cliffs with Xiaobai.

They looked at each other and smiled.

After coming to his senses, Xu Xian smiled.

"Well, let's call it Bao'an Hall." He said with a smile, "This name sounds friendly."

Xiaobai blinked, not surprised at all.

【Bao An Tang】

Soon, the plaque was hung up. Xu Xian took Xiao Bai's hand and walked outside the Baoan Hall. He said to the neighbors who came to support him, "Thanks to all of you for your care over the years. From today on, the Baoan Hall is open. If you have any illness in the future, you can come to Baoan Hall to see me."

"Xu Xian can't guarantee anything else."

"But I dare say that the medicine in Bao'an Hall must be the cheapest in the whole city of Hangzhou!"

As soon as the words were spoken, there was a burst of heartfelt cheers.

"Thank you, Dr. Xu!"

"Doctor Xu and his wife! What a beautiful couple!"

"Doctor Xu is a kind-hearted doctor!"

"Thanks to Dr. Xu! I can afford to treat my illness!"

Xu Xian looked at the crowd in front of him with a smile.

Among these people, many were wearing tattered clothes with many patches on them, but their faces were filled with joy.

These are poor people who can’t make any money.

But their blessings to Bao'an Hall are more sincere than those of the rich.

If Bao'an Hall wants to do good deeds and accumulate virtue, it depends on them.

Outside the crowd, Li Gongfu led the detectives to patrol here.

"see it?"

“This is my brother-in-law’s pharmacy!”

"Help me take care of it!"

Li Gongfu held his chin high, feeling proud of it.

He helped Xu Xian buy various items yesterday, and today when he saw Bao'an Hall open, he felt a sense of involvement.

At this time, many people flocked into Bao'an Hall.

"Doctor Xu, please take a look at me. I have had abdominal pain since yesterday and it hasn't healed yet."

Xu Xian made the diagnosis and Xiaobai took the medicine.

The two of them worked for the whole morning, and it was not until noon that they finally had some peace and quiet.

"Let me take a look." Xiaoqing picked up the account book.

She widened her eyes and said in confusion, "You two worked all morning and only earned 60 cents?"

When it is busiest, the store is packed with people.

She thought she had made a lot of money, but when she looked at the account books, she found that some of the businesses were even losing money.

In total, I earned sixty cents.

"Sixty coins is not a small amount." Xu Xian smiled. "In the afternoon, there will be more people coming to see the doctor. I can earn more than 150 coins a day, and 4 strings of cash a month!"

Xiaobai smiled but said nothing.

She thought to herself that as long as she was with her husband, she would be happy no matter what she did.

"Today is the first day of business. I'm not sure I can make this much money in the future!"

Xiaoqing paused for two seconds.

Her little brain worked quickly as she calculated a series of numbers: "Besides, four strings of cash can only be exchanged for two taels of silver, which is only twenty-four taels a year. You can't even get back the cost of buying this shop in ten years!"

Xu Xian nodded slightly.

It cost me three hundred taels to buy this shop. If I only make twenty-four taels a year, it will take me thirteen years to recoup my investment.

If anything unexpected happens during this period, I don’t know how much compensation I will have to pay.

But what could possibly change?

"Oh, my lady." Xu Xian stood up and said, "I bought a horse from the horse market to transport goods for Bao'an Hall. Come and have a look."

"Horse?" Xiaobai was a little surprised.

Xu Xian led Xiaobai to the back of the shop.

There is a simple stable here.

A tall, snow-white horse stood in the stable, its head held high, exuding an unruly temperament.

“What a beautiful horse!”

Before Xiaobai could say anything, Xiaoqing's eyes lit up.

She opened the stable.

Grab the horse's reins, turn over and ride on its back.

"Whoa!" A hint of human anger appeared in Bai Ma's eyes.

It suddenly leaned back and rushed out of the stable, dashing left and right in the narrow space with incredible agility.

Xiaoqing couldn't sit still at all.

She was bouncing up and down with the horse's movements, her body sometimes completely in the air, bumping around.

In the end, he couldn't even hold the reins!
