Poor Liu Chenxiang didn't know at this time that there was one more person chasing him, and he was one of the terrifying Seven Sacred Bull Demon Kings of the demon clan!
He was very leisurely at this moment, because he suddenly found that he seemed to have met a person who only existed in books.
Guanguanjujiu, on the island of the river, a beautiful lady~
Looking at the gentle and innocent Xiaoyu, Liu Chenxiang felt moved, but he didn't dare to say it out loud, fearing that they would not even be able to be friends in the end.
While talking to Xiaoyu, Liu Chenxiang finally made up his mind that he wanted to go to Huashan to take a look at the place where his mother was imprisoned!
They set off as soon as they said they would, and traveled along the way, taking Xiaoyu to see the outside world, the scenery, and to get a good feel for the outside world.
But soon.
The two encountered a very serious problem. They had no money.
How to make money
This is a very serious issue at any time.
Xiaoyu snuggled on Liu Chenxiang's shoulder. The two of them had no money to stay in an inn, so they had to sleep outside for the night. Although it felt a little strange, they felt very warm as long as they were together.
Liu Chenxiang felt something different for the first time. He seemed to understand the relationship between his mother and father. There is one thing that cannot be restrained, and that is love!
Love is natural and cannot be restricted by heavenly laws!
I need strength to protect this love!
He clenched his fists tightly, and the Precious Lotus Lantern in his arms suddenly flickered, and in a trance, it pulled him to a strange place.
There seemed to be a cave there, surrounded by mist. In the middle of the cave was a woman trapped, who was looking at him and crying silently.
who is she
I... Why do I feel sad...
Liu Chenxiang kept struggling forward in the fog, but the short distance seemed so close yet so far away. No matter how hard he moved forward, he could not get close.
A sudden pulling sensation made him jump, and a familiar shout woke Liu Chenxiang from his sleep.
It was Xiaoyu's voice.
"Chenxiang, Chenxiang~"
He suddenly opened his eyes and saw Xiaoyu looking at him anxiously. He hurriedly responded, "What's wrong?"
Xiaoyu pointed outside and said, "Look at what they are doing?"
The cries of crying and shouting were heard from the originally quiet street, which seemed particularly strange and noisy in the quiet night.
Liu Chenxiang leaned his head out to look, and saw a middle-aged man banging on the door of the drugstore in a hurry in the dark, and next to him, there was someone lying.
He must be sick and came to see a doctor.
He remembered when he was a child and had a high fever, his father was extremely anxious. The feeling of having a loved one sick is the most worrying thing.
With a creaking sound, the door of the drugstore opened. The owner looked impatient and said, "Why are you clapping? It's so noisy in the middle of the night!"
"Doctor, please, my mother is seriously ill. There is nothing I can do."
Faced with the middle-aged man's pleading, the shop owner just muttered softly and was too lazy to say anything. After all, he ran a pharmacy and often encountered people coming to treat illnesses in the middle of the night. Illness can come very quickly, but it is not so easy to get rid of it.
The shop owner put his hand on the old man's wrist, tapped it gently, shone the light under it, glanced at the old man's face, and had a general idea in his mind.
The middle-aged man kept begging, "Doctor, you are a famous doctor in the city, you can cure any disease, please save my mother, I kowtow to you~"
"What's the point of kowtowing?"
The shop owner scoffed, "I already know what's going on. I'll just boil the medicine and feed it to you."
"Thank you, doctor. Thank you, doctor!"
"What are you thanking me for? Give me the money. The medical treatment and the herbs will cost thirty cents in total!"
The middle-aged man's expression froze instantly. He stood there timidly, rubbing his hands for a long time, but there was no movement at all.
The shop owner just laughed when he saw this, a sneer, "Why see a doctor if you don't have money? It's such a waste of my time!"
After saying that, he was about to close the door. As he did so, he said to the middle-aged man, "Take your mother away quickly. Don't take up space here. If she dies at my doorstep, it will ruin my reputation as a miracle doctor!"
A miracle doctor, as long as he doesn’t treat patients he is not sure he can cure, his treatment success rate is 100%. This is a miracle doctor!
"Doctor, miraculous doctor, please save my mother... If you can give me a few more days, I will sell everything I have to raise the money..."
"roll!"
Xiaoyu looked a little angry. Shouldn't people of the same kind help each other? Why were they so indifferent
She couldn't help but frowned, "Hey, you are such a bad doctor!"
"Xiaoyu!"
Liu Chenxiang put his hand on her shoulder, reached into his bosom, and took out a few copper coins. He hesitated for a moment, as this was the meal money for him and Xiaoyu for tomorrow and the day after tomorrow. After thinking about it, he decided that saving lives was more important.
He walked to the front of the pharmacy and handed the money in his hand to the doctor, "Doctor, this is thirty cents, can you help save this old woman?"
The shop owner looked at him, then looked at Xiaoyu not far away, and did not take the money. Instead, he said, "I can't cure it!"
"Why?"
"A dying person, even if he is cured, will not live for many years. What are you two young people going to do in the future? Beg on the street?"
He saw Chenxiang and Xiaoyu sleeping in the corner, and seeing their hesitation when taking out the money, he naturally understood that this was probably the little money they had.
He used all his money to save a stranger, an old lady who was about to die.
Is it worth it
People won't necessarily thank you.
Coming to the clinic in the middle of the night to get treatment without any money, young man, this is not something a filial person would do.
People’s hearts are sometimes very dark!
The owner wanted to close the shop. He wanted to persuade the two young men not to meddle in other people's business, but he never imagined that these two people were not ordinary people.
Seeing him hesitating and saying that the disease could not be cured, Xiaoyu felt a little angry. Maybe this was the bad guy her grandma mentioned. She pointed her finger, and the papers on the table moved. Then all kinds of Chinese herbal medicines in the cupboard flew out and landed on the papers. The owner and the middle-aged man looked at them with their eyes wide open. This was an extraordinary power, which was beyond the reach of ordinary people.
The medicinal herbs fell on the paper, and the paper automatically wrapped itself up. With a flick of Xiaoyu's finger, the herbs fell directly into the middle-aged man's hand.
Xiaoyu raised her head proudly, "It's just a minor illness. My grandma taught me that the medicine will cure it!"
"Thank you, gods! Thank you, gods! ~"
The middle-aged man knelt down to thank him immediately, then quickly carried his mother away, leaving the shop owner with a thoughtful look on his face.
"Are you two the legendary practitioners?"
"Exactly!"
"I think you two are righteous men, but you have fallen into such a predicament. I know a way to make money. I wonder if you two practitioners are willing to do it?"
At the mention of money, Liu Chenxiang and Xiaoyu immediately became excited. They had spent all their money and could not only not stay in the inn, they even had no money for food.
A penny can make a god fall!
"What is it?"
"Recently, a river monster appeared in the river outside the city. Some people died in it. It was very scary. The county magistrate offered a reward of 300 taels of silver for the river monster!"
Three hundred taels of silver
How many candied haws would that require
Xiaoyu felt extremely happy and could really eat one skewer after another.
Liu Chenxiang was a little hesitant, "River monster? Are you sure it's a river monster? It can't be a dragon, right?"
"Aren't all dragons in the sea? Why are they in the river?"
"Because it's written in the book that the sea water is salty!"
"So do they pay for the salt?"
"I don't think so..."
“I envy them so much!”
Shop owner: …
I feel like these two idiots are mentally ill!
