Chapter 470 Selling Medicine
With the help of the guards clearing a path, Xiao Siyue and her companions squeezed in smoothly.
Once inside, Xiao Siyue discovered that it wasn't the interesting thing she had imagined, but rather a place selling medicine. Xiao Siyue was speechless for a moment.
Then, looking at Ranran, he saw that the second girl was very interested. He didn't expect his little niece's hobbies to be so special, which was quite surprising.
But since the little girl likes it, she'll patiently stay with her.
In the middle of the field were two men dressed in Taoist robes, one about forty years old and the other about twenty.
In front of them were many bottles and jars, a box on the left, and a banner next to them with the words "Hanging a gourd to save the world, medicine cures all diseases" written on it. They looked like charlatans no matter how you looked at them.
At this moment, the younger Taoist priest was doing his best to introduce these so-called medicines to everyone: "Come and see, everyone! These are all precious medicinal formulas passed down through generations in our family! They are absolutely genuine and of the highest quality, without the slightest falsehood!"
You absolutely cannot miss this rare opportunity! You all saw it with your own eyes just now; that person who was about to die came back to life immediately after taking our medicine. Don't you think that medicine is incredibly effective?
The elderly Taoist priest picked up a medicine bottle from the ground, strode towards the crowd, and shouted, "Fellow villagers, come and see! This is the legendary Rejuvenation Pill! Just one pill can bring someone back to life! Would you like to have such a miraculous elixir? This is a rare opportunity! However, the quantity is limited!"
However, our sect elders are kind-hearted and couldn't bear to see the people suffering from illness, so they specially sent us down the mountain to help everyone. Therefore, this medicine can now be bought for only ten taels of silver, and it's first come, first served! Quantities are limited, so hurry and seize this rare opportunity!
"Really? Is this medicine really that effective? My mother is in poor health and has been bedridden. We've spent a lot of money on her, but she hasn't gotten better. Will this medicine really help her?" A man in the crowd asked with some doubt.
"Of course it's true. Our medicine is a miracle drug. We guarantee that one pill will cure all your ailments." The older Taoist priest immediately walked up to the man and affirmed.
However, the man still had some doubts. After all, ten taels of silver was a lot of money, and if it was fake, the loss would be too great.
Just as the man hesitated, a person suddenly squeezed through the crowd and quickly knelt down in front of the older Taoist priest.
"My benefactor, I'm so glad to see you again!" The man was extremely excited.
"Hey, get up quickly, you are..." The Taoist priest seemed not to recognize him and helped him up.
“My benefactor, I am Shunzi, and I live in Wangjia Village on the outskirts of the city. You came to our village two years ago, and I bought a Rejuvenation Pill from you. I gave it to my mentally challenged brother, and he actually got better. My brother had been mentally challenged for twenty years. Our whole family tried everything we could and searched for doctors everywhere, but we couldn’t cure him. But your pill cured my brother. You are our family’s great benefactor.”
"Oh, I see. We were treating so many people that we didn't remember you. I'm so sorry. How is your brother now?"
Shunzi laughed and said, "Great! My brother is doing so well now. He got married last year, and his wife is pregnant and will give birth soon. My parents are so happy. You are truly a great benefactor to our family."
"Haha, that's good. I'm glad I could help you."
"My God, is this true? It can even cure people with intellectual disabilities. This medicine is truly a miracle drug."
"It must be true. Look, people have come up to thank us." The crowd was buzzing with discussion, and the person who had wanted to buy the medicine earlier was now eager to do so.
“My benefactor, I’ve been looking for you for two years just to thank you. I never expected to meet you here. How about we go out for a simple meal?” Shunzi invited happily.
"No, no, we have things to do and it's not convenient to bother you, so we won't go."
"That's such a pity," Shunzi said with some regret.
"May I ask if my benefactor could sell me another pill?" Shunzi seemed a little flustered.
"Hmm? Your brother is already better, so you don't need to buy any more medicine. Besides, we don't have much left, and many other people want it." The Taoist waved his hand.
“No, you are my benefactor. I came to the capital because my father fell from a tree yesterday while cutting it down and broke his leg. He was going to go into the city to see a doctor, but I didn’t expect to meet you. My benefactor, could you sell me one of your herbs so that my father can recover quickly and be spared from pain?”
"Where is your father who broke his leg?" The Taoist priest asked, his eyes wide.
“Here he is, I’ll push my dad in right now,” Shunzi said quickly.
“Alright, then bring your father here so I can take a look.” The Taoist priest said, then addressed the crowd, “Please make way so this young man can bring the patient in.”
Everyone was very curious, so they spontaneously made way for each other.
A moment later, everyone saw Shunzi push in a cart with a man in his fifties lying on it, his left leg wrapped in a blood-stained cloth.
Shunzi put down the cart and then said to the man, "Father, I met the benefactors who cured my brother before. They will definitely be able to cure your leg, so don't worry."
"Really? Is he really our benefactor? Shunzi, help me up. I want to thank our benefactor for saving your brother." The man struggled to get up.
"Hey, old man, lie down quickly. No need to thank me. Saving lives and healing the wounded is the mission of our sect. It's just what we should do." The Taoist priest immediately stopped the man.
"Thank you, thank you, my benefactor." Shunzi's father held the Taoist priest's hand, tears streaming down his face.
"Old man, don't be so polite. Lie down quickly, let me take a look at you." The Taoist priest said, helping Shunzi's father sit down, and then placed his hand on his pulse.
"Oh, old man, your injury is quite serious. The bones and tendons in your leg are broken."
"What? Then my father's leg is beyond saving? Benefactor, please save my father!" Shunzi immediately knelt down and begged the Taoist priest for help.
"Get up quickly. I didn't say it couldn't be cured. If you met an ordinary doctor, they definitely wouldn't be able to cure it. But you met me today, which is fate. Take this medicine." The Taoist priest poured out a pill the size of a soybean from the porcelain bottle and handed it to Shunzi.
"Thank you, thank you, my benefactor." Shunzi quickly gave the medicine to her father.
After waiting for about fifteen minutes, Shunzi's father exclaimed, "My benefactor, Shunzi, I feel that my leg doesn't hurt anymore, it doesn't hurt at all."
"Why don't you get down and try walking around?" Shunzi gestured to his father, as if there was nothing to be alarmed about.
Shunzi's father carefully got off the cart, then saw his left leg slowly stepping on the ground and tried to walk.
"My leg is really healed, really healed!" Shunzi's father shouted to everyone with a look of surprise, and then quickened his pace.
