Chapter 347 Cordyceps ([-])

"Father, don't be like this..." said the man earlier, squatting down, trying to help the old man up.

The old man was not stubborn, he just stood up with the man's hand, and after sitting down again, he said to the previous man, "Quick, take it out."

"Hey." The man nodded, took off the package on his body, and handed it to the old man.

The old man took the burden with mixed feelings on his face. After rubbing it for a long time, he opened the burden with trembling hands. After the fur skin was opened, there was a big leather pocket inside. Pulled it away, looked at it for a while, and then handed the thing to the previous man again, beckoning him.

The man took the leather bag, held it respectfully, put it on the table in front of Qingzhu, and then returned it.

"And..." the old man said, beating his chest and coughing weakly again.

The man looked at the old man hesitantly, and whispered, "Father, you still have to take medicine..."

"What kind of medicine do you take? My old bones won't die..." the old man said, coughing again.After coughing, seeing the man not moving, he glanced at him and said, "Why are you still staring? Give it back to others, are you trying to piss me off...cough cough cough cough cough cough cough..."

"Father, don't worry, the doctor said, you can't rush." ​​The man looked at the old man talking helplessly, while reluctantly took out the silver that Qingzhu gave him earlier from his bosom, and held it in front of Qingzhu, with a troubled expression on his face Put it on the table, then carefully returned to the old man, wiped his chest and smoothed his breath.

At this moment, Qingzhu has seen that the opened leather pocket is full of caterpillar fungus, all of which are of excellent quality, about five times as much as before, and saw the interaction between the man and the old man , suddenly a little confused, looked at the old man, hesitantly said: "Old man, what do you mean?"

The old man coughed a few more times, and said: "The little old man once swore that if one day, someone can recognize this divine herb other than this caterpillar fungus, then he will give him all the caterpillar fungus. Today, the nobleman will let the little old man get his reward." Wishing, these things naturally belong to the nobleman, including the silver, which should be returned to the nobleman."

"This...why is this?" Qingzhu immediately panicked when she heard this, and asked hesitantly.

"It's a long story..." The old man coughed a few times, lost in memory.

"Back then, the little old man was a steward of Chen's medicine store. The young owner had just taken over the medicine store and was determined to make a career, so he sent 598 many of our stewards to go to various places to collect precious medicinal materials. The little old man went there. , is Tubo. In Tubo, I heard about the magic of this divine grass, so I bought it from the Tubo people with all the gold and silver I had with me.”

"Who would have known that after buying this divine herb, before leaving Tubo, he was chased and killed by the local dignitaries, and all the fellows who went with him were killed by the knives of the Tubo dignitaries, only the little old man escaped by chance, but it was a narrow escape. ..."

"Later, the little old man went through all kinds of troubles and fled back to Darui Dynasty, and then returned to Shangjing City. He thought he could return to the Young Master's family, but how did he know that not only the old pharmacists of Chen's Medicine Store, but also the entire Shangjing City? In all the pharmacies, pharmacies, and clinics, no one knows this divine herb."

"The young master said that the little old man cheated on the medicine store's money and harmed the clerk of the medicine store, so he reported to the police and arrested the little old man for interrogation..."

"In the end, the government said that there was no evidence to prove that the little old man had committed suicide, but it was a fact that the things he brought back were worthless, so he sentenced the little old man to pay the owner's money."

"The little old man was originally unwilling, because the little old man didn't intend to seek the owner's property, but the little old man didn't pay the money, and the yamen wouldn't let him go. Later, the little old man's old wife sold the dowry and family property to compensate The Chen family, this is how the little old man was redeemed."

……

"The little old man lost his family property, and was turned away by all the pharmacies and pharmacies in Shangjing City. He had no means of making a living, so he only relied on odd jobs for others, and the old wife of the little old man washed, washed, sewed and mended. Later, the old wife fell ill and had no money for medical treatment, and the little old man was desperate, so he had to go to the Chen family again.

"But the young master of the Chen family, that is, the young boss of the medicine shop, hated me. He refused to see me again. He just asked his servants to beat me up and throw me out. It was also winter, and it was snowing like goose feathers. If it wasn't for someone My son begged his acquainted neighbors to look for me, I am afraid that at that time, I would have frozen to death outside Chen's house, but it was also the root cause of this cough."

"Because there was no money for medical treatment, the little old man's old wife died of illness not long after. At that time, the little old man swore in front of his old wife's spirit that if one day someone could recognize this magical herb and wash away the little old man's grievances, then The little old man gave him all the divine herbs."

"I see..." Hearing what the old man said, Qingzhu nodded thoughtfully, but immediately continued: "Old man, I understand what you mean, but I can't ask for this thing for nothing. Me and this..."

Qing Zhu didn't know the old man's and the man's surname, so she stopped immediately.

"My surname is Ye, and my name is Pusheng." The man said hastily.

Qingzhu nodded, and then said: "Let's buy it from you at the price I negotiated with Brother Ye earlier."

Ye Pusheng listened to Qingzhu's words, nodded repeatedly, looked at the old man, and carefully persuaded: "Yes, father, just listen to this noble man, we are in need of money now..."

"Nonsense..." The old man glared at Ye Pusheng, and said again: "Could it be possible that the oath your father and I swear before your mother's spirit can't be counted?" He coughed again, cupped his hands towards the green bamboo, and said: "This nobleman, before the little old man died, he only had such a wish. Now that he is dead, he can close his eyes and see my old wife. If the nobleman doesn't accept it, then the little old man is dead, and he can't rest in peace. ah."

"Father, what are you talking about? You can't die, you want to live a long life, and you want to watch your son marry a wife and have children..." Ye Pusheng said, his eyes were a little red, he turned around, and licked his sleeves After wiping it, he said again: "Father, didn't the doctor say that as long as you use good wild ginseng for this disease and take good care of it, you will be fine. My son begs you, we don't want the caterpillar fungus." Yes, the rest will not be charged, but we really have to keep the previous money and buy some high-quality wild ginseng to support your health."

After finishing speaking, Ye Pusheng knelt down beside the old man, looking at him sadly, with a pleading look on his face.

"Get up..." the old man said, coughing again, pointing at Ye Pusheng and saying, "I'm not dead yet, this family is up to me, I say no money, but I don't want money, if you insist Taking money is unfilial..."

As he spoke, the old man coughed again. Not only did he cough, but he was also panting so badly that he almost lost his breath.

Ye Pusheng looked at the old man and cried out in pain, "Daddy..."
