23 Retrieve (1/2)
”Young lady is too courteous. This grandson of mine is too careless and is indeed inferior to young lady.” The old man laughed calmly, causing Young Doctor Li to blush.
Nangong Yue's brows rose. She seemed to have thought of something and asked, ”Old doctor, do you sell silver needles here?”.
Even though she had only found a single pill and was still missing a few portions. With the silver needles, she would be able to start treating her brother.
The human brain is extremely fragile and complex, this will be an extremely long and difficult treatment process!
Young Doctor Li was like a cat whose tail had been stepped on. He exploded again. ”Hey, you think our place is …”
”Wen Cheng, go and get me a set of my silver needles.” The old man decisively said. Young Doctor Li could only listlessly obey and quickly brought a wooden box from the backyard.
Nangong Yue opened the box and saw that there were dozens of silver needles neatly placed inside.
With just one look at the luster, one could tell that the quality was pretty good. She nodded her head in satisfaction and handed a silver note to Young Doctor Li.
”This is the money for the silver needles.” Without waiting for her response, she bowed and said, ”Old Senior, farewell.”
With that, she led An Niang out of the medicine store. As she passed by Chen Guiying, she gave him a casual look, then dived back into the crowd, her small figure quickly disappearing.
”Grandfather.” Young Doctor Li looked at the banknotes in his hand. There were at least a hundred taels left, enough for the medicine.
After hesitating for a moment, he couldn't help but ask, ”That Frigid Mist Purple Mushroom obviously doesn't look good, so why did that little girl choose it?”
The old man looked at his grandson helplessly, breathing heavily, ”Wen Cheng, you are still lacking a little bit in your training. It looks like grandfather will have to wait a few more years for you.”
A year ago, the old man had already handed over the medicine store to his grandson, Young Doctor Li, and from his current words, it seemed that he was going to leave the mountain again.
”Grandfather …” Young Doctor Li felt even more ashamed.
”Wen Cheng,” the old man said slowly, ”You are mistaken.”
He shook his head meaningfully and continued, ”That's not the Frigid Mist Purple Mushroom at all, but the Heart Icy Zoyxia.”
”Heart Icy Zoyxia!?” Young Doctor Li couldn't help but exclaim, ”It's rare to see Heart Icy Zoyxia in a hundred years. It's said to be able to cure a hundred poisons, cure a hundred diseases, and prolong one's life.”
