"Ma Er's wife, stop being so shameless. Why are you looking at someone else's backpack?" The aunt who had just spoken to Li Xi slapped Ma Er's aunt's outstretched hand in annoyance.

The slap she gave was not light. Qian Dajuan had disliked her for a long time. This shameless person often took advantage of others by stealing an onion from one family and a garlic from another.

The old fat pig is going to be slaughtered, and she is the one who gets slaughtered!

"Qian Dajuan, what do you mean?" Aunt Ma covered her arm and looked at Qian Dajuan, "I asked about the people, what does it have to do with you?"

"What does it have to do with me? I just can't stand you bullying other people's children!" Qian Dajuan rolled her eyes at her with disdain, then pulled Li Xi over, "Come on, Daya, stay here as your aunt, stay away from her, so as not to be contaminated by her bad luck!"

Li Xi obediently moved to Qian Dajuan's side and thanked her, "Thank you, auntie."

Aunt Ma was very angry at Qian Dajuan's bullying and Li Xi's bullying. She put her hands on her waist and cursed, "Qian Dajuan, explain it to me! What do you mean by unlucky me?

I'm unlucky? How can I be unlucky like her, a thing that brings bad luck to her father?

Li Daya, I don't mind your bad luck, I'm speaking to you with good intentions, but you feel wronged!"

Qian Dajuan glanced at Daya who was standing beside her with her head down and kept silent, then frowned and glared at Aunt Ma, "What are you talking about as an elder? You can only spout shit with your mouth, right?"

"I'm talking nonsense? Her own grandmother said so, what nonsense am I talking about." Aunt Ma looked at Song Hehua frankly, "You tell me, you don't know what Granny Li said about her!"

Song Hehua was obviously much younger than Aunt Ma and Qian Dajuan. She was a newly married daughter-in-law in the village. She married Li Tianbao, the eldest grandson of Uncle Erqiang, who worked as a waiter in a restaurant in the city. Her family lived in the city, and this time she went to the city not only to bring some clothes for her husband, but also to visit home.

She had seen many fights between elders, but this was the first time she was called out to testify. She hurriedly tried to smooth things over and said, "Okay, okay, stop talking and don't hurt the harmony.

Aunt Ma, you are the elder, and Daya is still a child, so please say less."

Aunt Ma Er was about to say that I was not talking nonsense, but Uncle Erqiang beside her coughed twice and said in a hoarse voice, "Mrs. Ma Er, if you don't want to go to the city, go back."

Aunt Ma Er looked at Uncle Erqiang's gloomy face and swallowed back the words that were about to come out of her mouth. She didn't want to walk to the city. Her legs couldn't bear the round trip.

Seeing that she was quiet, Erqiang looked towards the village, and seeing that no one was coming, he called out, "Sit down, let's go."

Li Xi had expected that the journey might be difficult, but she had never thought it would be so difficult.

The bumpy road was so bumpy that Li Xi gritted his teeth and endured it for more than half an hour before he saw the city wall of Jiangning City.

She breathed a sigh of relief in her heart, they finally arrived. If she didn't get there any more, she would have to get off and walk. Her old waist really couldn't take it anymore. Thinking of this, Li Xi glanced at the other people on the donkey cart, and saw that they also breathed a sigh of relief without leaving a trace. Li Xi was satisfied, it turned out that she was not the only one who couldn't stand it.

Er Qiang parked the carriage in the shade outside the city gate. "We are here. You can go in. I will wait for you here. After you change your things, come and find me."

It was obviously not the first time for Aunt Ma Er, Qian Dajuan and Song Hehua to ride a donkey cart. Before Uncle Erqiang finished speaking, they responded with an "understood". Li Xi also nodded and followed them towards the city gate.

There were four soldiers standing guard at the city gate. They didn't react unusually when they saw them coming and continued standing there straight.

After entering the city, Song Hehua separated from them. Aunt Ma Er snorted at Qian Dajuan and Li Xi, and left with her backpack on her back.

Qian Dajuan looked at Daya beside her and said, "Daya, if you don't know where to go to exchange things, just come with me and I will take you there."

Qian Dajuan estimated that what she brought were just some food. There were not many fresh vegetables in this season, so most of them were bacon and smoked meat that the family had saved up.

Li Xi's family did have a lot of these things before, after all, they had a father who could hunt. However, old lady Li was not a good person. When Li Tiezhu was buried, she took Li Yinzhu with her and took away all the bacon and other things in the Li family.

"Thank you, auntie, but it's not necessary. My father has a brother in the city, and my mother asked me to visit their house." Li Xi made up an excuse.

"Okay, then we'll split up. You go quickly." Qian Dajuan didn't think she was lying. Everyone in the village knew that Tiezhu was an adventurous man and had served in the army before. It wasn't surprising that he just knew someone in the city.

After Li Xi and Qian Dajuan separated, he found a peddler and asked for the address of the medicine store, then left with his backpack.

Yongan Hall.

Li Xi looked up at the plaque hanging on the pharmacy, then walked in.

There were no customers in the pharmacy. There was only a little pharmacist wiping the medicine cabinet behind the counter. When he saw Li Xi picking it up, he put down the rag and asked, "Do you want medicine or a prescription?"

Li Xi's eyes quickly swept across the room. She smiled and said, "Excuse me, little brother. I wonder if you guys accept medicinal herbs?"

"Who is your little brother?" The little medicine boy glanced at Li Xi, snorted coldly, and threw down the rag, "Wait."

After saying this, he turned and went into the inner hall.

After a while, an old man with a goatee came out from the inner room following the little medicine boy.

"Master, she is the one who wants to sell medicinal herbs." The little medicine boy glanced at Li Xi and said.

"Little girl, I'm Wu Daoqing, the doctor at Yong'an Hall. You can just call me Doctor Wu. Where are your herbs? Take them out and let me have a look."

There are many mountains near Jiangning City, and there are many medicinal herbs on the mountains, so there are many people coming to the pharmacy to buy medicine on weekdays. However, it is the first time that Doctor Wu has seen a young girl like Li Xi.

"Hello, Doctor Wu. My name is Li Xi. These are the medicinal herbs I brought." Li Xi said as he took off the backpack and placed it on the counter. He then lifted the cloth and took out the Gastrodia elata pieces one by one.

"It turns out to be Gastrodia elata. It can't be sold at a high price." The little medicine boy curled his lips and said, this thing is really not rare here. Nine out of ten people who come to them to sell medicinal materials sell Gastrodia elata.

"Awei." Doctor Wu gave him a disapproving look and said, "Don't be rude."

Li Xi was not going to argue with a child. After she finished taking out the Gastrodia elata, she took out the ginseng wrapped in a cloth and looked at Doctor Wu, "Do you want the ginseng?"

"receive."

There are indeed a lot of medicinal herbs in the mountains here. Although ginseng is a precious medicinal herb, he has actually collected it several times, but the age is relatively young. Therefore, Doctor Wu was not too surprised when he heard that Li Xi had ginseng in his hand. He just thought it was a ginseng that was about ten years old as usual.

The roll of cloth in Li Xi's hand was not small. At first, Doctor Wu thought that she had wrapped it with several more layers for fear of bumping into the ginseng. But when he saw the ginseng inside that was bigger than a radish, his eyes widened.
