Reborn as a girl, I will live forever in the world of immortality
Chapter 13 Leaving
He Ling was not in a hurry to go back. She suddenly remembered that she had given a book to an old man before.
When I arrived at the old man's residence, I found that the house was abandoned.
After asking around, I finally arrived in front of a small mound.
The old man had no children during his lifetime, so naturally no one erected a tombstone for him or held a funeral.
Fortunately, his neighbor was kind enough to find a place to bury him, otherwise his body would still be lying in the room.
She stood in front of the old man's grave for a while before leaving.
Before leaving, he left two taels of silver at the door of the old man's neighbor.
It was just after the New Year and the weather had not yet warmed up.
A cold wind blew on He Ling, lifting a strand of her hair.
But she suddenly felt a little cold.
She has now reached the fifth level of the Vajra Body Tempering Technique, and has already achieved the ultimate in invulnerability to swords and spears, as well as the strength of nine oxen and two tigers.
Although her body is still as slim as a woman's, her physique is many times better than that of an ordinary person.
Not to mention this little bit of cold wind, even if she was thrown naked onto the snow, she wouldn't feel a bit of cold.
She knew it in her heart, but the world was changing too fast, which made her feel a little bleak.
All those who had helped her and had contact with her had grown old or passed away, and she had no reason to stay here anymore.
The next day she bought a pot of good wine and sat in front of a small mound next to the thatched hut, drinking by herself all day.
She originally wanted to rebuild Grandpa Liu's grave, but ultimately decided not to do it.
It's fine to just keep it the way I remember it.
Finally, after kowtowed three times in front of the small mound, He Ling left.
She took a last look at the small mound and knew that she would never be able to come back.
Come to town.
When He Ling stepped into a pharmacy called Jirentang, the clerk came up to her as soon as he saw her.
He had been instructed by the shopkeeper that whenever he saw the woman, he should first welcome her into the inner hall, serve her refreshments, and then come back to inform him.
"Now that you're here, come this way," the waiter said politely.
He Ling nodded and followed the waiter into the inner hall.
After a while, a middle-aged man in a long robe and a goatee walked in.
It was the same clerk in the pharmacy that He Ling had gone to buy seeds for.
After the incident with the mustache, He Ling rarely sold medicinal herbs herself, so she asked this guy to do it for her.
The guy has been honest over the years and never asked too many questions. No matter how many herbs He Ling took out, he could help her quickly.
After a few interactions, He Ling finally let down his guard against the waiter.
After that, the clerk finished his apprenticeship and opened his own medicine shop with the money he earned from helping He Ling resell medicinal herbs over the years. With He Ling constantly providing him with rare medicinal herbs, his Jirentang could sell some of the original medicinal herbs to patients at a lower price.
Don't underestimate these few points. In this era of material scarcity, even wealthy families know how to save.
As a result, the business of Jirentang became better and better, forcing two of the three original drugstores in the town to close down, and the remaining one is still struggling.
The guy also knows that he is where he is today thanks to He Ling.
Moreover, He Ling's appearance has not aged over the years, but has become more and more extraordinary. It is obvious that He Ling is not an ordinary person.
So during a transaction, the guy knelt down on the spot and acknowledged He Ling as his master, crying and shouting that he wanted to be He Ling's dog.
This made He Ling speechless at the time.
The waiter's name was Li Yishan. When he saw He Ling, he bowed respectfully and called out, "Master."
He Ling was speechless. The word "master" reminded her of the alphabet circle in her previous life.
"I told you not to call me Master."
"Yes, Master, no problem, Master."
...................................
After a brief silence.
He Ling spoke up, "Yishan, have you gathered all the herbs I need?"
Li Yishan replied respectfully, "Master...Boss, most of the herbs you need are very rare. I've asked my men to ask in other towns, but they still don't have any."
He Ling was not surprised. The medicinal materials needed for the sixth forging were very precious. It was beyond He Ling's expectation that he could gather the medicinal materials for the first five forgings. He almost emptied out all the rare medicinal materials in the town and even the surrounding areas before he could gather them.
After all, it's just a remote town, and it's not easy to gather so many.
Seeing that He Ling didn't say anything, Li Yishan quickly said, "Master, don't worry. I'll have my men visit more places and we'll find it eventually."
He Ling didn't point out that Li Yishan was anxious and named another owner.
She stood up and said with some emotion: "Yishan, how long have you been following me?"
"Including the time when I met the master, it has been about fifteen years." Li Yishan thought for a while before saying.
"Yes, fifteen years have passed." He Ling murmured to himself.
"Master?" Li Yishan asked when he noticed that He Ling was in a bad mood.
"I'm leaving." He Ling said calmly.
Li Yishan's reaction was more excited than He Ling expected.
He actually started crying like a girl and asked He Ling to take him with her.
Li Yishan was already married and had two children at that time, so He Ling naturally would not agree.
After Li Yishan's emotions stabilized again, He Ling took out four boxes and a book.
Over the years, Li Yishan has been very dedicated to He Ling. Without him, although He Ling could collect medicinal herbs on her own, it would be much more troublesome.
Moreover, over the years, even if he has not made any contributions, he has worked hard, and He Ling has seen it all.
Each of the four boxes contained four hundred-year-old main herbs, which should at least allow him or his descendants to practice to the fifth level without any problems.
As for the sixth and higher levels, she hasn't even found all the herbs, let alone others.
Seeing that He Ling was determined to leave, Li Yishan said he would not take him with him no matter what.
He also sighed, turned around and went to the back room, and took out a small bag.
When He Ling opened it, she found that there were actually two gold bars.
The silver-to-money exchange rate in this era was one to one hundred. One hundred coins were equal to one tael of silver, and one hundred taels of silver were equal to one tael of gold.
The weight of these two gold ingots is definitely more than two taels. If He Ling's estimate is correct, each ingot should weigh five taels.
In other words, He Ling now has one thousand two taels of silver in her hand, which is almost all the money Li Yishan has earned from running the pharmacy for so long.
This amount of money is a lot of money no matter when and where.
Of course He Ling refused to accept it, but Li Yishan was very decisive. If she refused to accept it, he would let He Ling take back the things she brought.
He also said that he never knew there would be such a person as He Ling in the future.
In the end, He Ling couldn't outlast Li Yishan and had no choice but to accept the gold.
