Chapter 5: Opening the Medicine Shop
第5章：开设药铺
With their lives now joined, Bai Suzhen and Xu Xian decided to open their own herbal medicine shop in the heart of Hangzhou. They named it 'Baohe Tang', a name that suggested peace and harmony. Xu Xian brought his knowledge of traditional remedies, while Bai Suzhen used her hidden magical powers to enhance the effectiveness of their treatments.
随着生活结合在一起，白素贞和许仙决定在杭州市中心开设自己的草药铺。他们取名“保和堂”，这个名字暗示着和平与和谐。许仙带来了他的传统疗法知识，而白素贞则利用她隐藏的魔力来增强治疗的效果。
"We should make sure that even the poorest people can afford our help," Bai Suzhen suggested one morning as they arranged jars of herbs on the shelves. "Health should not be a privilege only for the wealthy."
“我们应该确保即使是最贫穷的人也能负担得起我们的帮助，”一天早上，当他们在架子上摆放草药罐时，白素贞建议道。“健康不应该只是富人的特权。”
Xu Xian nodded in agreement. "You are right, my dear. We will offer our services to everyone, regardless of their status."
许仙点头同意。“你说得对，亲爱的。我们将为每个人提供服务，无论他们的身份如何。”
Word of the new shop spread quickly throughout the city. Patients who had suffered for years from mysterious ailments found themselves miraculously cured after just one visit to Baohe Tang. People began to whisper that Lady Bai had a 'divine touch', and the shop was always crowded with those seeking help.
新药铺的消息很快传遍了全城。那些多年来遭受神秘疾病折磨的病人在访问保和堂后发现自己奇迹般地痊愈了。人们开始私下议论，说白女士有“神之手”，药铺里总是挤满了寻求帮助的人。
Xiaoqing was kept busy assisting the customers and managing the shop's affairs. "Business is booming, sister!" she remarked one evening as they closed up. "People are calling you a living goddess."
小青忙着协助顾客和管理药铺的事务。“生意非常红火，姐姐！”一天晚上关门时她说。“人们都叫你活菩萨。”
Bai Suzhen smiled, but there was a hint of concern in her eyes. "I only want to help, Xiaoqing. But we must be careful not to draw too much attention. Our powers are meant for good, but humans can be suspicious of things they don't understand."
白素贞笑了，但她的眼中有一丝担忧。“我只想提供帮助，小青。但我们必须小心，不要引起太多的注意。我们的力量是用来行善的，但人类对他们不理解的事情可能会产生怀疑。”
Despite her worries, the shop continued to flourish. Xu Xian was immensely proud of their success and deeply grateful for his wife's support. He saw her as his greatest blessing, never suspecting that the woman he loved was anything other than a mortal. Their lives seemed perfect, filled with purpose and love. But across the city, in the ancient Jinshan Temple, a stern monk named Fahai was beginning to sense a powerful spiritual presence that did not belong in the human world. The peace of Baohe Tang was about to be challenged.
尽管她很担心，药铺还是继续繁荣。许仙对他们的成功感到非常自豪，并对妻子的支持深表感激。他把她看作自己最大的福气，从未怀疑过他所爱的女人除了凡人之外还有什么身份。他们的生活似乎很完美，充满了目标和爱。但在城市的另一边，在古老的金山寺，一位名叫法海的严厉僧侣开始感觉到一股不属于人类世界的强大灵力。保和堂的宁静即将受到挑战。
