Chapter 41
On the street, all kinds of wires are intertwined like a mess, which brings more depression to the already narrow street.

In a hut near the outskirts, quarrels continued.

Chunhua's face turned red, even though her complexion was dark, she could still see the color of anger:
"Qiushi! Do you know what you are doing? How can you steal something? If you are caught, you will be beaten to death, understand?!"

The boy who was scolded stubbornly pursed his lips and his eyes were red, but still refused to admit his mistake.

Chunhua was so angry that she pointed at the boy's head and kept trembling: "If something happens...you haven't thought about grandma?"

As soon as he heard the word "grandma", Qiushi couldn't bear it anymore, waved away his sister's hand, and said loudly: "I'm right! Those businessmen colluded with local snakes, so that none of the government's subsidies can get us. In hand! Is it wrong for me to steal something?"

"Grandma is sick, and my sister is working so hard that she can't earn medical expenses, and she can't even afford the cheapest nutrient solution. She can only eat poisonous vegetables grown in the field! Is it wrong for me to steal money from those animals? !"

Chunhua's face instantly turned pale, and the hand that originally wanted to hit Qiushi dropped weakly.

Yes, how ridiculous.

I can't even afford to go to the hospital when I'm sick, and I can't afford nutrient solution. I can only eat poisonous plants and live by counting the stars.

In the outer area, it is difficult for people at the bottom to survive.

"...Even if this is the case, you can't steal anymore. It's not like you haven't seen what happened to the last one who stole from those people..."

The thin and frail body bent down, Chunhua held Qiushi's shoulders and said word by word:

"You have to live well."

Qiushi was silent, her lowered eyes twinkling.

……

It was dark the next day. Chunhua carried a bag and went to the garbage station to pick up garbage as usual. If he could find useful metal fragments, he might be able to sell them at a good price.

Before leaving, she glanced at the boy under the blanket.

The hut is very small and only has a bed made of wooden tables. She, Qiu Shi and grandma all sleep on the same bed.

Seeing that the boy was sleeping soundly and his chest was rising and falling frequently, Chunhua felt relieved and went out.

When her footsteps completely disappeared, Qiushi opened her eyes, waited for a minute, and then carefully got out of bed.

Just as he tiptoed to pick up the cloth bag on the table, an old and kind voice came from the bed.

"Qiushi... where...are we going..."

The old man's long-term illness caused a disorder of the language system. She opened her eyes with difficulty and finished the sentence with a stumble.

Qiushi was startled, and hurried to the bedside:
"Grandma, you're awake!"

Since he got this strange disease, the old man rarely woke up, and the boy was ecstatic.

"Qiu Shi... are you...going...where?"

The old man asked this question persistently, his cloudy eyes staring at him unblinkingly.

"I...I'm going to town to sell things!"

Qiushi guiltily tightened the empty bag.

"Things... the fruit tree at the door... bears fruit again?"

Before my grandma got sick, she often went to the town to sell fruit. The fruit trees at the door were also very obedient, and they could produce a bunch of fruits every time, and the toxin content was very small.

The family of three relied on the leafy fruit trees to make a living. At that time, my sister was still in school, had excellent grades, and was always at the top of the class.

pity……

Later, the fruit tree was sold to collect money for grandma's medical treatment.

Feeling sore in his heart, the boy's eyes became wet again unknowingly, and he forced an "um".

After getting a positive reply, the old man smiled reassuringly and said, "Come back early...."

After speaking, she fell into sleep peacefully.

Carefully tucking up the quilt for grandma, Qiushi wiped away the tears from the corners of her eyes, hid the cloth bag in her loose clothes, and quietly closed the door.

His goal today is a batch of special medicines newly arrived in the town. It is said that various intractable diseases may be cured.

If I find a way to get this medicine, grandma's illness may be cured.

……

"Hey! The friends who passed by stopped to take a look. Take a look, this batch is the latest special medicine, which can cure all diseases! It may also awaken the blood talent!"

People passing by looked over curiously, especially when they heard the words "awakening bloodline talent".

A strong man looked the vendor up and down, not quite convinced: "Awakening the talent of the bloodline...Are you sure? Just rely on this medicine? You think the talent bloodline is a vegetable in the field, just pick it!"

As soon as these words came out, the people around him were obviously incited and started whispering.

The vendor was not annoyed, but calmly held up a bottle of well-packaged special medicine.

The blue potion is so clear and translucent under the sunlight that it looks expensive at first glance.

"My batch of special medicines came from Qin's Pharmaceutical Industry, Qin's! Do you understand? A famous family in the world, the special medicines produced by the Qin family! You don't have to believe me, you have to recognize this signboard."

The vendor said calmly, pointing to the clan emblem on the medicine box.

The family emblem of the Qin family is a peregrine falcon with wings spread.

"...Qin family?! Did I hear that right?"

"That's a very rich and powerful family!"

"Alas! I met him in District 108, where he donated money to poor families. He is a good man!"

"This special medicine won't really work..."

The words worked, and the vendor put down the medicine bottle in his hand in satisfaction.

The strong man who just refuted seemed to believe it, scratched the back of his head, and asked cautiously: "Then, how much does this medicine cost?"

The vendor opened his palm and waved it in front of the strong man.

"five hundred?"

The merchant was overjoyed, and said contemptuously, "Five hundred? How is that possible!"

"fifty thousand!"

Hearing this number, everyone gasped.

fifty thousand! ! !

This is at least two years of their living expenses.

The vendor rubbed his thin beard and said casually: "It's only fifty thousand... What are you shocked about? This medicine!"

He held up the bottle of pills again.

"It was sold for 50 star coins in the main area! It took all my efforts to lower the price, and I paid a lot of money for it. If even this price is too expensive for you..."

The peddler put down the bottle and made a gesture to clean up the shop.

"Think of it as a donkey's liver and lungs... I might as well pack it up and sell it to the nobles in the main area."

"Don't! Don't don't!"

The strong man hurriedly stopped him, sweating profusely.

The vendor raised his eyelids: "What?"

The strong man gritted his teeth: "Fifty thousand, right! I'll buy a bottle!"

If the bloodline talent can really be awakened, it will be a wonderful thing that transcends classes!He would no longer have to stay in this dirty and nasty outer area.

The vendor smiled: "That's right. Why don't you buy such a cheap and easy-to-use medicine? Congratulations in advance. If you awaken your bloodline talent and become a noble, don't forget to support the villain!"
