Xia Yuanqiu hummed: "Which of your eyes saw the kid selling fake goods?"
The fat man pointed at the bamboo basket in the boy's arms and shouted, "Isn't this a fake? Do you think I've never seen dragon heart fruit?"
Xia Yuanqiu reached out and took out a fruit from the basket, brought it to his nose and smelled it, and said, "I don't know if you have ever seen a real dragon heart fruit, but this fruit is indeed a dragon heart fruit. Believe it or not, If you don't buy it, then of course there will be people who want to buy it." She turned around and said to the boy, "Little brother, what are you going to do with these fruits? My sister wants them all!" The boy looked grateful, but then there was a trace of sadness. : "Sister, this basket of fruits is only worth twenty taels of silver, but I need fifty taels of silver to buy wild ginseng for my mother. Sister, can you give me fifty taels of silver? I will definitely pay you back in the future!"
When the fat man heard this, he immediately laughed wildly and said, "Are you crazy because of your poverty? You actually want to sell such a basket of broken fruits for fifty taels of silver?"
Xia Yuanqiu ignored the fat man and said to the boy: "Okay, sister can give you fifty taels of silver, but sister wants to ask you, what disease does your mother have and why do you use wild ginseng?"
Wild ginseng is a great tonic, but it should not be eaten by ordinary patients. It can easily lead to a patient's deficiency and not be supplemented, which will be detrimental to the condition.
The boy's eyes suddenly turned red, and he choked up and said: "My mother is dying, but I don't want my mother to die. I have no father, only my mother. If she dies, I will have no relatives in this world."
The fat man sneered and said: "Keep editing--see if you can sell this basket of rotten fruit for a hundred taels. Then you are really good."
The boy lowered his head and said nothing, with tears falling down. It made people's hearts melt. Xia Yuanqiu said: "Don't cry. My sister is a doctor. I will accompany you home to see your mother, okay?"
The boy raised his teary eyes, looked at Xia Yuanqiu and said, "The doctor in the city said that only old wild ginseng can hang my mother's life now. Now I just want to go to the drug store to buy old wild ginseng. Sister, can you wait?" Will you follow me home after I buy wild ginseng?"
Speaking of wild ginseng, Xia Yuanqiu didn’t know how many there were in her space ring, but there were a lot of them anyway. She stretched out her hand and touched it between her fingers, and an old wild ginseng with excellent appearance appeared in her palm. This kind of appearance does not cost five hundred taels of silver. , which is absolutely impossible to buy.
Xia Yuanqiu handed the wild ginseng to the boy: "Here - this is the old wild ginseng. Take it. Can you take us home now?"
The little boy had seen wild ginseng in the drug store. It looked very similar to the one in his hand. It seemed that the one in his hand was bigger and better. He couldn't help but burst into tears and nodded. "Okay, I'll take you there."
The three people left in a hurry. The fat man looked at the three people's retreating figures and frowned: "Is this girl mentally ill? Such a good old wild ginseng was exchanged for a basket of broken fruits? It's not a big loss. ?”
No one among the onlookers answered his words, and some even rolled their eyes at him from time to time, expressing various dissatisfaction with him, but he didn't notice it and walked away alone.
The boy led Xia Yuanqiu and Zhu Yan to the end of the long street and turned into a very narrow alley. The houses in the alley looked very dilapidated. This reminded Xia Yuanqiu of the time she and Yuan Hao lived together when they first entered the capital. Pinghe Lane is more dilapidated than Pinghe Lane, and the alley is particularly narrow.
After turning a few corners in the alley, the boy pointed to a giant tree not far ahead and said, "My home is behind that tree."
