Bai Zhu

Bai Zhu is a tall man with fair skin and long green hair, half gathered into a bun and secured with a hairpin. He has golden snake eyes and can always be seen wearing gold ornate oval-rimmed glasses.

Bai Zhu can only be seen with his beloved snake Chang Sheng wrapped around his neck like a scarf. He also wears a cropped short-sleeved shirt and indigo trousers. On top of this, Bai Zhu wears a turquoise belt with his God's Eye Dendro hanging from it, and a pale blue jacket resembling a kind of lab coat draped over his shoulders like a cloak. He also wears gold asymmetrical mittens like Xiao's, an anklet and blue shoes. There are many rumors about Bai Zhu, although most of them are currently unknown — the only one the player has ever heard of is that his traditional herbal medicines are extremely bitter. Despite the bitter taste of his medicines, most residents of Li Yue fully believe in his medical skills, such as Ke Qing, who thinks it's worth visiting when someone can't identify their symptoms and Xin Yan, who is grateful for his highly effective voice preservation medications.[ Bai Zhu, the owner of the Bubu hut, is an apothecary who has learned the art of healing, a virtuous man full of secrets and riddles. Bai Zhu is a very kind and intelligent person, he loves children. Bai zhu claims that it's just a cold, but he knows that his health is poor, and all his internal organs are sick. Although his life is not in immediate danger, nine out of ten doctors would be stunned, and could only stare in amazement at the nature of this rare and incurable disease. Baizhu is suffering from some kind of disease that is considered incurable, and which, according to Qiqi and herbalist Gui, leaves him in a bad condition. This has never stopped Dr. Baizhu from continuing his work, helping others, even when he himself is in pain. So many different people wanted to become his apprentice, but instead Bai Zhu took a zombie girl as a student, who even finds it difficult to sort medicinal herbs. Bai Zhu is a mere mortal, but there is always a talking snake with tremendous spiritual energy resting on his shoulders. According to the latest video, Bai Zhu and Chang Sheng are bound by a contract. It was passed from one doctor to another, and the life of not only a person, but also a pet depends on it. A healer can cure any disease, but you have to pay for it with your own life. Bai Zhu knows how to treat any disease, but for some reason he is in poor health. Of course, all these contradictions could not escape the eyes of the inhabitants, because the more capable a person is, the more terrible the evil he can be tempted to, and the more serious its consequences will be. But no matter how the investigators tried to expose Bai Zhu, everything was to no avail. On the contrary, their attempts only strengthened the fame of Bai Zhu's virtues. And when asked about the secrets he hides, Bai Zhu smiles: "Good medicine always tastes bitter. Therefore, it's okay if the doctor keeps some bitter secret in his heart." Bai Zhu is well versed not only in medicine, but also in the secrets of trade. There is nothing to be surprised at - to run such a large pharmacy, the art of healing alone is not enough. The prices of goods in the Bubu hut are quite fair, Bai Zhu gets his profit not by margins, but by sales volume. So, the Eternal incense at a discount in the Bubu hut costs only two million nine hundred and ninety thousand mora. As a rule, people who need such a product look at its quality, not the price. And rather than waste time in the market, haggling and pricing, it's better to go to the Bubu hut and buy everything there at once. Bai Zhu is responsible for the quality of the goods with his reputation, therefore the prices in the Bubu hut are slightly higher. Of course, one cannot enjoy all the benefits of one's position alone. Among the visitors to the Bubu hut there were many traveling merchants who later became partners with Bai Zhu: they bring him valuable medicinal raw materials from different parts of Teiwat and sell his miraculous powders and pills all over the world. The wallets of the "trading partners" were gradually filled with moroi, but the numbers in the article of the arrival of the Bubu hut were also becoming more impressive. However, it seems that Bai Zhu does not conduct business so prudently because he has only one pestilence on his mind. For example, he took Qi Qi "Bubu" into the hut, which does not bring the slightest benefit to the enterprise, and this act cannot be called a manifestation of greed. When faced with the rarest diseases, Bai Zhu often charges a nominal fee for medicines, arguing that the disease is too rare, and it is extremely difficult to estimate the cost of medicines. Therefore, now many patients living far beyond Li Yue turn to the Bubu hut for help. Bai Zhu has a kind heart, he never refuses patients and gladly accepts patients suffering from the strangest ailments for treatment. People say that Bai Zhu is a merciful and noble doctor who tries to earn more money only to then use the plague for good deeds. In the morning, Bai Zhu likes to drink water and then brew himself some green tea. Of course, no breakfast is complete without cakes. There are sweet and salty ones for every taste, most often they are sent from shops in the neighborhood, and the flow of edible gifts does not dry up either in winter or summer. The cakes are laid out on three saucers - two large and one small. Large saucers for Bai Zhu and Guya's companion, a small one for Chang Sheng or Qi Qi, if any of them are in the mood to take a bite to share breakfast with friends. In addition, every day after the opening of the Bubu hut, Bai Zhu discovers at the doorstep various products that grateful patients sent him: vegetables, rice, fish, fruits... So there is always something to eat in the Bubu hut. Bai Zhu does not like to be in debt to people, he has asked patients many times not to bring food to the hut. But the residents of Li Yue know that Bai Zhu does not always charge for treatment, and if he does, he gives a big discount to ordinary people. I cured an old man for free, and a child for these... Bai Zhu has helped more people than I can count. And patients are happy to thank him, if not with moroi, then with gifts. All attempts by Bai Zhu to refuse gifts usually end in nothing, and he has to call for the help of herbalist Gui to bring the products inside. After breakfast, office hours begin, Bai Zhu personally stands at the counter and makes sure that herbalist Gui carefully packs all the medicines prescribed the day before and takes them to elderly patients who cannot visit the Bubu hut themselves. A prescription is always attached to the medicine, which describes in detail how often and in what dosage it should be taken. When the patients come to Bai Zhu, Chang Sheng slips away unnoticed and goes to see what is happening around. After seeing Qi Qi doing gymnastics in the backyard, Chang Sheng wraps his arms around her shoulders and helps her count: "One-two-three-four! One-two-three-four!" And meeting the returning herbalist Gui in the corridor, Chang Sheng wraps his arm around him to gossip and ask about the latest news. When all the news is told, the medicines are distributed, and the tea is cooled, it's time for lunch. If Bai Zhu is not too busy, he gets down to business himself and cooks delicious and healthy food with medicinal herbs for everyone, and cooks sweet soup for dessert. The afternoons in Li Yue are light and carefree-here's a boy sitting over a book, here's an old man hobbling down the street, standing guard... Hurried footsteps are running up and down the street. Qi Qi and Chang Sheng bask in the sun at the gate of the Bubu hut and stealthily watch what people are doing. Chang Sheng washes their bones: this one is completely overgrown, it's time for him to get a haircut, and look at the rash on that guy's face. Most likely, it is from an excess of internal heat! Worried that people might hear them, herbalist Gui hurriedly takes Chang Sheng and Qi Qi to the hut. The voices reach Bai Zhu's office. He writes out a prescription while listening to their conversations. Such moments are like boiling water in a kettle - they boil and make noise, creating comfort. Dusk falls, and the Bubu hut closes its doors. Sometimes herbalist Gui stays with everyone for dinner, sometimes he goes to spend time with his family. The three of them are left alone, Bai Zhu, Qi Qi and Chang Sheng have dinner and go to rest in their rooms by the light of the moon. And so it repeats day after day, the usual measured life. But if herbalist Guyu decides to look into the Bubu hut before going to bed, he will most likely see Bai Zhu in the backyard showing Qi Qi new movements from gymnastics: "One-two-three-four! One-two-three-four!"
