Chapter 48
"I have time now!" Sheng Xi was not in a hurry, but the old man was!It's not easy to meet someone who is willing to buy his medicine, and he doesn't hesitate to pay for it, so he will push the person back if he is stupid.

Sheng Xi also thought of this, so she smiled and asked him: "Old man, where do you live from?"

"Gezhuang." The old man said.

Sheng Xi raised an eyebrow: "Gezhuang." The nearest village to Xiaying Village is separated by a mountain.

"That's right, girl, no, girl, where are you staying? I can go back and get you medicine now! Will you wait for me?" the old man said anxiously, "Don't worry, my legs and feet are very nimble. You'll be back soon!"

Sheng Xi shook his head and said, "No hurry, please wait for me for a while, and then I will go back with you."

"Ah, this..."

"My family is from Xiaying Village, so we are traveling together."

"Ah, so that's it! Haha, okay, okay, then let's go the same way, the same way!" The old man was very happy, and his face was curled into pleats.

Sheng Xi thought for a while and simply asked him to wait for her in the blacksmith shop.To avoid worrying the old man, she gave him ten cents as a deposit.Well, this is the only copper plate left in her pocket, so she will have to exchange for some copper plates later.

The old man took the money and rushed to the blacksmith shop as quickly as possible.Sheng Xi went directly to the only bank in town and exchanged ten copper coins.

Without delay, Sheng Xi changed the money and went directly to the blacksmith shop.

The old man selling medicine was waiting not far from the blacksmith shop. He stretched his neck to look at the way he came. When he saw Sheng Xi, the anxiety on his face instantly disappeared.

"Old man, please wait for me for a moment. I'll have a few words with the blacksmith," Sheng Xi said.

The old man smiled naively and said it was no problem and asked Sheng Xi to go ahead and do his work.

Sheng Xi nodded, then went to the blacksmith shop, and then told him what he wanted to build.

The blacksmith shop recognized Sheng Xi as the girl who bought the gapped dagger before, and was a little embarrassed to see her again, so he was more patient with Sheng Xi's questions: "Girl, it's not me, but the requests you just made, Don’t talk about me, even Old Nie from the next town can’t fight you.”

"Why is this?" Sheng Xi asked.

"Let's not talk about the material you requested. I have never heard of it. Let's talk about the style you just described. Firstly, I have never seen it. Secondly, the skill required is obviously high. I will just make a farm tool and make one. A spatula, making a door knocker, soaking nails, etc., I really can’t do such delicate things as you mentioned.”

Sheng Xi could see that Blacksmith was not being modest, but that he really didn't know how to do it, so he didn't worry too much.But she didn't expect that she had just simplified the technique of the scalpel, but the other party still did the same, which made her frown subconsciously.

The blacksmith happened to be fine at the moment, so he asked her a few more questions: "Girl, do you really want to hit this thing?"

Sheng Xi raised his eyes and nodded: "If possible, that would be the best."

"That's it." The blacksmith touched his unshaven chin and had a clear understanding of his ability. "If you really want to fight, you can go to the county and ask. The craftsmen in the county must have more knowledge than me, maybe they can fight. "

county seat?Sheng Xi thought about it and thought it was feasible.So, she thanked the blacksmith, turned around and walked towards the old medicine seller.

"Old man, let's go." Sheng Xi said.

Gezhuang and Xiaying Village are the most impoverished villages in Shangyang Town. It is hard to say which of the two villages is poorer. In short, they are evenly matched.

After talking along the way, Sheng Xi learned that the old man's surname was Song, and that more than half of the people in Gezhuang were surnamed Song.There is more land in Gezhuang than in Xiaying Village, but the extra land is not fertile and is mainly sandy land.There was no output in the fields and life was difficult, so many families' children were sent to the city when they were still young. They were nothing more than servants and maids. It was better to live with the big families and have food than to starve to death.

In fact, there are some in Xiaying Village, but not many.Sheng Xi traveled through time and learned about it while looking for Sheng Guangyuan.

Therefore, the old man and the young man had quite a lot to talk about, and they talked all the way.After walking for more than half an hour, the two finally arrived at Gezhuang.

Uncle Song pointed to a mountain road and said to Sheng Xi: "Did you see it? Along that road and over the hill is your village. That is the shortest way to your village, and the journey can be saved by half. But now is the best Don’t go, there’s no one on the mountain, be careful of encountering wolves.”

Sheng Xi glanced at the road and silently remembered it in her heart.

Uncle Song's home is at the entrance of the village and is not very eye-catching.However, when Old Uncle Song came back with Sheng Xi, the villagers who gathered at the entrance of the village to chat still saw the two of them.

Someone greeted Old Uncle Song: "Second uncle, which girl is this? Is she the child bride for your eldest grandson?"

As soon as he finished speaking, someone laughed and started cheering.

Old Uncle Song glared at the man fiercely and cursed: "Old villain, shut up! This girl is here to buy medicinal materials and is a distinguished guest of our family!"

The man who called him "Lao Bao" hurriedly covered his mouth after hearing this. He said in his heart that the second uncle would come to settle accounts with him soon.

Others didn't expect Sheng Xi to have this status, but she didn't look like a rich person in her clothes.Some people were curious and encouraged the people around them to watch the fun.So, seven or eight people rushed into Old Uncle Song's house behind Sheng Xi.

Uncle Song's family only had a little granddaughter at this time. When he saw his grandfather coming back, he happily wanted to rush over. However, after seeing Sheng Xi, he hurriedly stopped and looked at her curiously.

Old Uncle Song said to his little granddaughter: "Go, call your mother back quickly."

The little granddaughter nodded, glanced at Sheng Xi, and in a blink of an eye, she jumped into the crowd and ran out.

The old gangster and others did not enter the house, but just watched from the door.They saw Old Uncle Song warmly greeting Sheng Xi to sit down and rest while he entered the woodshed.

After a while, the little granddaughter led her grandmother back, followed by an eleven or twelve-year-old boy.

Old Uncle Song came out with a bunch of medicinal herbs, just in time to see his wife and grandson returning.

Uncle Song hurriedly introduced Sheng Xi and informed his wife of the purpose of Sheng Xi's visit.

Mrs. Song was also excited when she heard this, and frantically wanted to pour water for Sheng Xi.

"No need, old man, I'm not thirsty." Sheng Xi hurriedly stopped and looked at Old Uncle Song, "Uncle Song, how about we weigh your medicine now."

Old Uncle Song naturally couldn't ask for it.

Uncle Song's family has a lot of dried medicinal materials, mainly Bupleurum, Angelica dahurica, Qianghuo and Atractylodes. There are also some other medicinal herbs, but the quantity is not large.After all, some of it has been sold before.

Sheng Xi asked on the way here, and most of the medicinal materials sold were given to the drug store.

According to the previously agreed price, Sheng Xi was not limited to the medicinal materials used to make the medicine for golden sores. He ordered all Bupleurum and Angelica dahurica, and also selected the better quality parts of Qianghuo and Atractylodes.

Seeing that Old Man Song had no intention of driving the crowd away, Sheng Xi counted out 180 Wen and handed it to Old Man Song in front of everyone.

Old Uncle Song's family had a blast listening to the "ding-dong" music of copper coins, and the onlookers were also excited and jealous.

So, someone asked Sheng Xi: "Girl, I also have medicinal materials at home, can you take them?"
