The casual life of the flat space
Chapter 46: The Trickster
Doctor Bai's throat tightened. Although the child's hands and face were clean, the clothes she was wearing looked like old clothes from adults. A section of her skirt was torn off, and the edges were not even attached. Her pulse was also very weak...
"Tieying, I have to tell you something. You are in a very weak condition now and you must take good care of yourself. If you faint again like today, even if a doctor is by your side, you may not be saved. This ginseng is just right for you, and I think your brother is the same.
The main ingredient in my medicine bottle is ginseng, but it is only 30 years old, so it is not as effective as yours. I am still missing one ingredient, Ganoderma lucidum, but I can find it if I look carefully. I will go to Yubei Mountain tomorrow. You can take the medicine in the bottle first, and I will come back to prepare medicine for you when I find Ganoderma lucidum. "
"Ganoderma lucidum?"
"Yes, this medicine requires the use of the main and auxiliary. It doesn't mean that ginseng is good, so we should use all of it. Lingzhi is mild, and it is more suitable for you children. And you won't be able to use much of this medicine after it is prepared. You can sell it or keep it when the time comes."
"How old is the Lingzhi?"
"It will take at least several decades, so that the ginseng will not be wasted. Don't worry, there are many good things in Yubei Mountain, I will definitely find them. With your body, this medicine can be considered a life-saving medicine!"
Doctor Bai thought that Bai Tieying was worried that Ganoderma lucidum would be difficult to find, so he advised her a few more times. However, he also believed that it could be found, it was just a matter of climbing over a few more mountains and walking a little deeper.
The grudges of the older generation now seem to be... I am also confused, and there is no deep hatred, so why bother? If I knew the situation of Yinfa's family earlier, these two children would not have suffered so much.
"What is the value of a hundred-year-old Lingzhi?"
Hearing Bai Tieying's question, Doctor Bai thought she thought the medicine was too expensive, so he replied, "Tieying, this medicine is indeed expensive, but human life is more expensive. You can't put the cart before the horse!"
"How much is it worth?"
"There are only a few of them in our county. It's good enough to have five hundred taels. But if you want to sell it in Kyoto, you have to pay at least double the price." Seeing that Bai Tieying insisted, Doctor Bai explained to her.
Bai Tieying's head was buzzing after hearing this. It wasn't because of her body, it was just because she was hit by a pie!!! She hadn't found the ginseng yet, but the walls of the space were full of Ganoderma lucidum! The hundred-year-old Ganoderma lucidum was just accelerated... Thinking of this, Bai Tieying felt that it was difficult to breathe, so she quickly sat on the bed. There was nothing she could do, her heart was about to jump out of her throat.
Doctor Bai saw her like this and rushed forward to feel her pulse. His face changed drastically as soon as he touched her pulse and he hurried out to find a needle.
Bai Tieying held him back, took a deep breath and said, "I'm fine, please sit down, I have something to tell you."
Seeing that she was gradually calming down, Doctor Bai did not insist and sat on a low stool waiting for her to speak.
"Ganoderma lucidum, I have it! But I don't know if it can last for a hundred years." Bai Tieying looked at Doctor Bai with certainty.
"What? What did you say? How did you get it? I won't ask about the hundred-year-old ginseng, but as far as I know, it would take at least ten days to find the hundred-year-old Ganoderma lucidum. It's just a possibility! How did a little girl like you get it?
Don't say it's inherited from your ancestors. I know better than you whether your ancestors had that blessing. If your grandfather or your parents had it, I guess they wouldn't have left and left you two to suffer!" Doctor Bai was a little angry and resumed his loud voice when he first came in.
Seeing him like this, Bai Tieying smiled and didn't rush to reply.
Just now, I thought that he might have refused to save my father, so I wanted to leave immediately regardless of the life-saving grace. The life-saving grace should be repaid, and I will not be ungrateful, but as a child who has enjoyed the love of his father, even if I am not the same little girl, I should not have anything to do with him.
But after listening to his explanation of why he was estranged, I could initially judge that he really didn't know that his father was injured. And when he knew that I had ginseng, not only was he not greedy, but he persuaded me to keep it and even gave her his treasured medicine. Now that he heard that I had Ganoderma lucidum, his first reaction was that it was dangerous to go into the mountains. He really cared about me and that's why he did this!
Even if the above judgments were all false, she still had ways to protect herself. But if she lost a loved one and betrayed their sincerity, Bai Tieying would really feel it was a pity, a pity for the Bai family and for the siblings!
Bai Tieying stood up again and formally performed a junior ceremony to Doctor Bai. This was not the ceremony to thank Grandpa Wu and Grandma Wu, but the formal ceremony to meet the elders in the family, which was only performed to parents and ancestors during the New Year and worship.
When Doctor Bai saw this, he raised his hand to help her, but tears started to flow down his cheeks. He quickly turned his hand and wiped away his tears, but his red eyes betrayed him.
Bai Tieying raised his head and saw this scene, he laughed, and said jokingly: "Where did the sandstorm come from? It blinded my uncle's eyes, he is really asking for trouble!"
"Hmph, I think it's you who deserves a beating! The Bai family is finished. There are only two of them left, and the other one is a mischievous ghost!" Doctor Bai was also a cheerful person. He didn't care about the children's playfulness and joined in the jokes.
"When you see me, you call me Grandpa Bai, and now you call me Uncle. So tell me, why do you call me Doctor Bai again?"
Bai Tieying helped the uncle to sit down first, and then confessed his previous guess to him openly. Since he recognized him, he should not lose his mouth. Aren't all the misunderstandings and missed opportunities due to "thinking you knew" and "thinking you should understand"?
In fact, even if her uncle didn't ask her, he would have told her the whole story. Asking her showed that her uncle was an open-minded person and had the same idea as her, so he should have made it clear.
After hearing the whole story, Uncle didn't speak for a long time, and Bai Tieying also remained silent. She knew Uncle was blaming himself, blaming himself for not being able to cure his relatives even though he studied medicine, blaming himself for not being able to put aside his pride and recognize his relatives, blaming himself for not being able to avenge his relatives even though he knew the whole story.
I know what Uncle is thinking because Bai Tieying is thinking the same thing. She is only ten years old, and Bai Tiexiong is only five years old. They really need to survive in their current situation. Only by surviving can there be hope.
But she didn't like to keep such things in her heart. This was one of the reasons why she was so eager to make money. What's the saying "A gentleman's revenge is never too late"? It's fine if you don't have the ability, but if you have the ability, how can you watch the murderer still live freely in this world?
If it were in the original world, she could still appeal to the law and request legal aid. But here, there is really no place to appeal! It is said that "the gate of the government office faces south, and if you have a reason but no money, don't come in." It is even possible that the person trying the case is the murderer!
