Xiaoxiang County Lord

Chapter 23

Turned several corners and came to a small alley, walked inside and came to the old man's house

It was the same as Xiaoxiang's thatched hut in the grassland. Outside the house was a small yard where a few tattered clothes were hung to dry. There was a well next to it and two tanks filled with water.

Walking into the house, there is only a bed and a table, and a few stools are also worn out, very simple

"Miss, I didn't expect there to be such a place at the foot of the Son of Heaven." Xiang'er sighed. All along, in Xiang'er's eyes, she always believed that there were no poor people at the foot of the Son of Heaven.

"There are poor people at the feet of the Son of Heaven," Xiaoxiang said in a low voice.
"Girl, the house is simple, don't mind." The old man took out two stools, touched the dust on them with his sleeves, put them by the bed, pointed to the stools and said to Xiaoxiang, "Sit down."

Xiaoxiang nodded, sat down, looked at the skinny old man on the bed, her white hair was loose, red spots covered her pale face, and her hands were all covered with red spots, Xiaoxiang sighed
The little girl took the old man's hand: "Grandma, look, this beautiful sister, she is a doctor, she can cure your illness, and you will definitely get better."

Xiaoxiang looked at the old man, felt her pulse with his left hand, and opened the old man's eyelids with the fingers of his right hand, looking into her eyes.

The old man and Xiang'er watched the old man carefully while observing Xiaoxiang's expression

The little girl looked at Xiaoxiang with wide eyes, waiting for her "result"

Xiaoxiang looked at the little girl and smiled: "It's fine, An Ran doesn't have to worry."

"Really?" An Ran relaxed and asked happily

"Of course, don't worry, my sister has a solution." Xiaoxiang smiled wryly

The innocent little girl didn't see Xiaoxiang's wry smile. She thought she had found a savior for her grandma, and thought that grandma would recover as her sister said, but she didn't know how much it would cost

"Great." The girl looked at the old man happily, the old man nodded and smiled, and she looked at the person on the bed again: "Grandma, did you hear that, you will be fine, grandma, An Ran still wants to tell you a story."

Xiaoxiang stood up and walked outside the house, with a lot of preoccupations

Xiang'er followed her out: "Miss"

"Xiang'er" Xiaoxiang smiled wryly

"Miss, can the old man's illness really be cured? I remember that smallpox cannot be cured, and it is contagious." Xiang'er was dubious

"It's not impossible, it's just that it will be very troublesome. She has been sick for a long time." Xiaoxiang sighed, "Smallpox is indeed contagious, but Aunt An didn't have smallpox. You think An Ran and Amber have lived with Aunt An for so long. Not infected, it is obviously not smallpox, it should be another disease."

"What's the disease?" Xiang'er asked

"I'm not sure right now, eh???" Xiaoxiang sat down by the well and sighed

"Miss, what should we do then?" Xiang'er asked

"Aunt An's illness must be treated with Tianshan Snow Lotus as a medicine, and it takes seven or seven days for 49 days to be cured."

"Tianshan snow lotus?" Xiang'er called

Both Xiang'er and Xiaoxiang know that it is a precious medicine. If they are still in the Mongolian grassland, maybe they can find a way to find Princess Yu'er, but now, they are penniless. Where can they get the money to buy Tianshan Snow Lotus? Well, and taking Qiqi for 49 consecutive days, it is simply a huge problem for Xiaoxiang and Amber's family at present, and there is no way to do it.

Xiaoxiang gave a "hush", looked around the room, and pulled Xiang'er aside, "Hush"

"Miss, Tianshan snow lotus is such a precious medicinal material, where can we find it?" Xiang'er said worriedly
"This is also where I am troubled. Ordinary people can't afford this medicine, let alone a poor family like him." Xiaoxiang sighed, but he couldn't help but look at An Ran and Amber's expectant eyes, Xiaoxiang really couldn't tell them the truth of the matter, because to them, the truth was really cruel.

"Miss, why don't we go find Yu'er, she is in the palace now, there must be some in the palace." Xiang'er had an idea, and she could only turn to Princess Yu'er for help in this situation.

"No." Xiaoxiang quickly interrupted her, "There are indeed such herbs in the palace, but Yu'er has just entered the palace and her status is not stable yet, so we can't make trouble for her."

"This doesn't work, that doesn't work, so what should we do?" Xiang'er said anxiously

"Let me think about it" Xiaoxiang looked up to the sky and sighed

The "girl" old man stumbled out of the house

Xiaoxiang and Xiang'er looked at each other and walked forward

"You don't need to trouble, my wife always said that life and death are up to you, and wealth is in the sky." The old man sighed, his eyes were red, obviously he had just cried
"Amber, you heard it all." Xiaoxiang sighed and bowed his head
"Girl, I know you are all good people." The old man smiled wryly, "But you really don't need to bother." After finishing speaking, he turned and entered the house

Looking at the back of the old man, Xiaoxiang felt all kinds of feelings, just touched the jade pendant in his arms, and said happily: "There is a way"

"Miss, have you figured out a way?" Xiang'er asked happily
"We can go find him." Xiaoxiang took out the jade pendant

"Miss, you mean Aniu?" Xiang'er pointed at the jade pendant and asked

"Yes, we can only find him," Xiaoxiang said

"But is this okay? Niu is just a subordinate of the King of War, can he have it? Even if he has it, can he supply it for 49 days?"

"We can work there, as long as we work to repay the debt." Xiaoxiang smiled

"But, miss, is this really all right?"

"Xiang'er, that's it, we're going to Zhanwang Mansion tomorrow." Xiaoxiang smiled and entered the room

Xiang'er nodded helplessly, "Oh", and followed into the house
