Xiaoxiang County Lord

Chapter 22

Xiaoxiang and Xianger set up a stall early in the morning

in the evening

"Miss, we don't have any business for a day today. If this continues, I'm afraid we're going to sleep on the street." Xiang'er said as she thumped her thigh
"Oh, that can't be helped." Xiaoxiang looked around: "We are new here, and it's normal that people in the capital don't believe us. It will be fine in two days."

"In two days, in two days we won't have anything to eat," Xiang'er said worriedly
"Didn't I pawn all our jewelry yesterday, didn't I have some money?" Xiaoxiang said, pawning all the valuable things on her body
"Miss, we put the money in the store yesterday, we had dinner, and things for setting up a stall today. There is not much money left." Xiang'er frowned

Xiaoxiang sighed: "Now we can only take one step at a time."

At this moment, an old man came here with a little girl
"Miss, look, someone is coming." Xiang'er pointed at the old man and said
"Yes, Xiang'er, get ready" Xiaoxiang said happily, standing up

"Girl, this is my granddaughter, please help her look at it." The old man pointed to the pale little girl and said

"Okay, old man, sit down first, don't worry." Xiaoxiang helped him to sit down, and pulled the little girl over: "Little sister, show me, what's wrong?" Xiaoxiang asked while taking his pulse
"I feel weak all over, I want to sleep very much, and my head hurts too," the little girl said slowly
Xiaoxiang nodded, stroking the little girl's forehead
"Girl, what's wrong with my granddaughter?" The old man stood up anxiously

"Old man, don't worry, it's nothing serious, just a little fever, she should have a little fever before, why didn't you take her to the pharmacy?"

The old man lowered his head sadly: "To tell you the truth, my family is poor, and I have no money to see a doctor for her."

Seeing the sad look of the old man, Xiaoxiang felt uncomfortable: "Old man, don't be sad, don't worry, I will definitely cure your granddaughter's illness."

"Girl" the old man held Xiaoxiang's hand with trembling hands, and said with tears in his eyes, "You are such a good person, thank you." He knelt down on his knees and pulled his granddaughter to kneel down together.

Xiaoxiang helped the old man up: "Old man, don't do this, get up quickly"

The old man carefully took out a handkerchief from his pocket with trembling hands, and the old man carefully opened it layer by layer with his hands, Xiaoxiang and Xiang'er stared at the thing in their hands intently
Open the last layer, only to see a little bit of broken silver inside
With tears in his eyes, the old man said, "Girl, do you think this money is enough to buy medicine for An Ran?" Holding the money in front of Xiaoxiang with both hands
The little girl wept and said, "Grandpa, that's our family's last bit of money."

Xiaoxiang burst into tears, bowed her head and cried

The little girl cried "Plop" and knelt down: "Sister"

"An Ran, what are you doing?" the old man asked nervously

Xiaoxiang knelt down and held the little girl's skinny hand: "Do you have something to tell me?"

The little girl nodded heavily, and glanced at the old man. The old man avoided her gaze, obviously the old man knew what she was going to say

Xiaoxiang glanced at the old man, then at the little girl

"Sister, I'm fine, can you take that money to see a doctor for my grandma?" The little girl cried and kowtowed
The old man watched the little girl cry silently

Xiaoxiang helped the little girl up: "Is your name An Ran?"

"Yes, sister" the girl cried

"Then tell my sister, what's wrong with grandma, what's wrong with her?"

"Grandma's face is covered with smallpox," the little girl said word by word

Xiaoxiang was startled, she never expected that at such a young age, she would be determined to save her grandma regardless of her own illness. Seeing such a sensible little girl, she felt all kinds of feelings in her heart

The old man looked at Xiaoxiang full of hope, his eyes were full of longing, but at the same time he was very helpless

"Sister" the little girl cried and shook Xiaoxiang's hand, "Everyone says grandma's illness is hopeless, sister, you must have a solution, right?"

The girl's innocent eyes touched Xiaoxiang's heart: "Don't worry, I will definitely save her."

"Really?" The girl's eyes were full of hope
Looking at those eyes, that Wang Qingquan, Xiaoxiang nodded
"Grandpa, did you hear, grandpa, grandma is saved?" the little girl said happily while holding the old man's hand
"Yeah" the old man kept crying, smiled and nodded to the little girl
Seeing this scene, Xiaoxiang's heart is warm, and she will try her best to help them no matter what

"Xiang'er" Xiaoxiang sat down and wrote a picture of the pharmacy, and handed it to Xianger: "Go get the medicine"

"But miss, we..." Xiang'er said worriedly, she also wanted to help them, but she had no money
"Go." Xiaoxiang interrupted her, she knew what she was going to say

Xianger nodded and went

"Old man, when Xiang'er catches the medicine back, I will go with you to check on Grandma Anran's illness." Xiaoxiang said with a smile

"Thank you." With tears in his eyes, the old man stuffed the money into Xiaoxiang's hand: "You take the money."

Xiaoxiang held the old man's hand and put the silver in his palm: "Old man, I can't take this money, you can keep it for later life."

"Girl, this is not possible," the old man declined
"Old man, An Ran is still very young, and there are still a lot of places to use the money, you can keep it." Xiaoxiang held the old man's hand tightly
The old man looked at Xiaoxiang gratefully, and bowed deeply to Xiaoxiang: "Thank you, thank you"

"Sister, thank you." The little girl also bowed

After a while, Xiang'er came back from grabbing the medicine: "Miss, I got the medicine back." He handed the medicine to Xiaoxiang, and whispered in her ear, "We're out of money."

Xiaoxiang didn't speak, took the medicine and put it in the old man's hand with a smile: "Amber, I'll give you the medicine."

The old man held the medicine in his hands, as if he was holding some treasure, and nodded with a smile
"Thank you, sister." The little girl smiled and said, "Then sister, will you come with us to see grandma now?"

Xiaoxiang smiled and nodded: "Okay, let's go."

"Miss" Xiang'er called, pulling Xiaoxiang's clothes

"Xiang'er, let's go, go see the old man" turned around and followed the old man
Xiang'er shook her head helplessly, and followed suit.
