Xia Yuanqiu snorted, "Which eye of yours has seen people and children selling fakes?"
The fat man pointed to the bamboo basket the boy was holding in his arms, and shouted, "Isn't this a fake? Haven't I seen dragon heart fruit before?"
Xia Yuanqiu reached out and took out a fruit from the basket, put it up to his nose and sniffed 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, there will be people who want to buy it." She turned around and said to the boy, "Little brother, what do you do with your fruit? My sister wants them all!" The boy's expression was grateful, and then a trace of embarrassment appeared. "Sister, this basket of fruit 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 pay you back in the future!"
Hearing this, the fat man immediately laughed wildly and said, "Are you crazy about poverty? How dare you 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: "Yes, sister can give you fifty taels of silver, but sister wants to ask you, what's wrong with your mother, why do you use wild ginseng?"
Wild ginseng is a great tonic, and it is not suitable for ordinary patients to eat. It is easy to cause the patient to be deficient and not tonic, but it is not beneficial to the condition.
The boy's eyes turned red instantly, and he choked up with sobs: "My mother is dying, but I don't want my mother to die. I don't have a father, only my mother. If she dies, I will have no relatives in this world."
The fat man sneered and said, "Make it up—keep making it up—see if you can sell this basket of rotten fruits for a hundred taels, then you're really good."
The boy lowered his head and did not speak, his tears were pattering down, his heart melted at the sight, Xia Yuanqiu said: "Don't cry, my sister is a doctor, my sister will accompany you home to see your mother, okay?"
The boy raised his tearful eyes, looked at Xia Yuanqiu and said, "The doctor in the city said that only old ginseng can kill my mother now. I just want to go to the pharmacy to buy old ginseng. Sister, can you wait?" Come home with me after I buy wild ginseng?"
Speaking of wild ginseng, Xia Yuanqiu's interspatial ring does not know how many, there are a lot anyway, she reached out and stroked between her fingers, and an old wild ginseng of excellent quality appeared in the palm of her hand. This kind of quality does not cost five hundred taels of silver , is absolutely impossible to buy.
Xia Yuanqiu handed the wild ginseng to the boy: "here - this is the old wild ginseng, you take it, can you take us home now?"
The little boy saw wild ginseng in the drugstore, and it was very similar to the one in his hand. It seemed that the one in his hand was bigger and better. He couldn't help laughing through his tears, and hurriedly nodded: "Okay, I'll take you there."
The three left in a hurry, and the fat man looked at the backs of the three of them, frowned and said, "This girl must be out of her mind! Such a good old wild ginseng, just exchanged for a basket of broken fruits? It's not a big loss ?”
The onlookers didn't answer his words, and some even rolled their eyes at him from time to time, expressing various dissatisfaction with him, but he didn't realize 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 when she and Yuan Hao lived together The Pinghe Lane here is more dilapidated than Pinghe Lane, and the alleys are especially narrow.
After turning a few corners in the alley, the boy pointed to a giant tree not far ahead and said, "Behind that tree is my home."
