Tian Danian asked his little daughter to stand aside to prevent the donkey from moving around in the mud pit and splashing mud all over her.

He rolled up his sleeves, put the front of his gown around his waist and started working with the old man driving the coach.

The two men cooperated quite well. One drove the donkey pulling the cart in the front, and the other helped push it from the back. After just a few rounds, they got the cart out of the mud pit.

The old man driving the cart thanked him repeatedly, "Danian, thank you so much. If I hadn't met you, I wouldn't know how long I would have been delayed. Aren't you going to the county town? Take your daughter to the car, and we'll set off now."

As there were two women in the car, Tian Danian couldn't sit inside the car. He just lifted the curtain and let his little daughter get in.

He himself sat on the shaft on the other side of the front of the carriage, chatting casually with the old man driving the carriage.

When this old man was young, he used to drive a cart for a caravan. When he got older and had some money, he bought a covered cart and a donkey and started driving a cart and pulling rickshaws around the countryside for a living.

Although this business doesn't earn much, it can bring some income to the family.

He has known Tian Danian for quite a few years and has seen him grow from a young boy to a man with a family and lots of children.

That’s right. Zhangjiabao is not too far from Tianjia Village, only ten miles away. It only takes a quarter of an hour to get there by car. And they are native villagers, so he knows everyone there.

Tian Danian and the old man driving the cart talked and laughed along the way, and time passed quickly.

Inside the carriage, Tian Xiaoman and the two women opposite him looked at each other in silence, feeling a little awkward.

The two women look quite similar. They should be a mother and daughter. They both have long faces, willow-shaped eyebrows, thin lips and beautiful noses.

The younger girl looked about fourteen or fifteen or sixteen years old, at least older than Tian Xiaochun.

However, the girl was a little thin and her face was too pale. Every once in a while she had to lean her head on the woman next to her to rest and catch her breath.

Seeing her appearance, Tian Xiaoman was worried about her. He was afraid that when the donkey cart bumped against the ground again, the girl would not be able to catch her breath and would collapse.

The mother and daughter had no intention of talking to or saying hello to Tian Xiaoman. Since Tian Xiaoman got on the car, they didn't even move. The young girl only glanced at Tian Xiaoman a few times, but seeing that Tian Xiaoman was wearing coarse cloth clothes and was dark and thin, she lost interest in talking to him.

In this difficult atmosphere, the car finally stopped and the voice of Tian Danian calling Tian Xiaoman to get out was heard outside.

Tian Xiaoman felt as if he had been pardoned. He hurriedly lifted the curtain of the car and jumped out.

She was afraid that if she stayed any longer, she would be embarrassed to death by the awkward atmosphere in the carriage!

She even doubted how she had managed to survive the entire journey in such an awkward atmosphere. She was so tired that she almost wanted to dig out a sea view apartment with her toes.

"Dad, is this Pinglin County?"

Looking at the tall city wall in front of you, a sense of ancient atmosphere comes to you.

In the past, he had only seen such scenes on TV. Now, Tian Xiaoman was experiencing it in person and couldn't help feeling that it was unreal.

"Yes, this is Pinglin County. Look - those two big characters on the city gate are 'Pinglin'."

Tian Xiaoman felt indescribably excited. Before even entering the county town, she felt that it was much more magnificent than she had imagined.

She had thought that the only thing in this county town was that people dressed better, there were more people, and the places selling things were more prosperous, but when she saw it with her own eyes, she realized that she had been narrow-minded.

The heavy feeling of this ancient building not only represents prosperity, but also represents the baptism of culture and the inheritance that has lasted for thousands of years.

Pinglin County looks quite prosperous. Before entering the county, you can see all kinds of stalls at the gate and on both sides of the road, people hawking goods, and people entering and leaving the city in an endless stream.

There were several officers guarding the city gate, and everyone entering or leaving the city would be interrogated.

When it was the turn of Tian Xiaoman and Tian Danian, father and daughter, the officer asked them the usual questions, such as where they came from and what they were going to do, without missing a single detail.

When the police heard that Tian Danian and his daughter were from Tianjia Village and were coming to the city to buy medicine from the pharmacy, they readily let them pass.

Yes, Tian Danian has an honest face. Anyone who sees him for the first time will think that he is an honest country boy.

After entering the county town, Tian Danian took Tian Xiaoman around in many twists and turns, and after walking for more than half an hour, they finally arrived at the door of a pharmacy.

There is a large plaque hanging on the door of the drug store with the words "Su Ji Drug Store" written on it.

At this moment, there were several people in the pharmacy preparing medicine, and the clerk was busy as hell.

When Tian Danian and his daughter entered the pharmacy, the waiter who had just served the last customer who came to get medicine hurried over to greet them.

"You two, are you here to get some medicine? Do you have a prescription?"

"no no!"

Tian Danian quickly waved his hands and said, "We don't prescribe medicine."

Eh? The young man looked puzzled, "This guy looks quite familiar."

Tian Danian smiled, revealing a mouthful of white teeth, which made him look more honest and obedient.

"Brother, you have a good memory. I was here just yesterday."

"Oh, I remember now, you're the big brother who wanted to buy scar removal ointment for his daughter!"

"Yes, yes, that's me!"

Tian Danian responded immediately, and the waiter turned his attention to Tian Xiaoman, "Is this the little girl of big brother?"

Tian Xiaoman felt that the young clerk in the drugstore was really smart. He looked only three or two years older than himself, but he called his father "big brother" all the time and seemed very familiar with him.

It’s just that his own father is old enough to be his father, and it’s thanks to him that he keeps calling him “big brother”.

"Yes, yes, this is my little girl."

"So, are you sure you want to buy the scar removal ointment today? In that case, I'll take you to queue up to get the ointment."

"Don't worry, young man..." Tian Danian interrupted, "I will definitely buy the ointment, but I have something else I want to discuss with your shopkeeper. Can I trouble you to pass on a message and tell him that I have some medicinal herbs to sell. I wonder if the shopkeeper will accept them?"

Medicinal materials?

The clerk grinned and said, "Of course we will accept it. In the city, our Su Ji Pharmacy is honest and fair, and the price is very fair. As long as the quality of the herbs you have is good enough, we will definitely give you a good price. What kind of herbs do you want to sell? I can help you review and price ordinary herbs."

Tian Danian thanked the waiter for his kindness and said, "This time, I am not bringing any ordinary herbs, but——"

Seeing that no one was paying attention to their conversation, Tian Danian approached the waiter and said in a low voice, "I went hunting in the mountains and found a medicinal herb. I want you to introduce it to the shopkeeper."

Tian Danian showed the boy a small part of the ginseng he was carrying so that he could take a sneak peek.

When the young man saw the ginseng, his eyes lit up.

"Oh! This is a good thing. I really can't decide for such a valuable thing. I have to ask our shopkeeper to come and take a look. If you two are not in a hurry, please wait for a moment. I will go and ask our shopkeeper."
