Chapter 8 Peddling Medicine
Winter.
The cold wind is howling, the north wind is like a knife, this winter is extremely cold, and the people on the street are in a hurry, not daring to stop for a while.
Deep in the mountains of Yongning Village.
In the luxuriously decorated room, the warm stove was blazing, and the man lying on the luxurious fox skin bench turned over contentedly, took a deep breath of the cigarette in his hand, spit out a perfect smoke ring, and waved his hand at the man who was reporting to him.
He groaned, "Almost." It's time for our plans to take place. Send Ali over today. ”
"Yes." The men bowed, stepped back cautiously, and turned around when they were almost at the door. Left.
It was almost noon, and the sky was still overcast, and the sun had not been seen for many days.
The cold weather is terrifying, as if the temperature in the body can be drained in an instant, and the turbid air makes it difficult to breathe, and even the birds hide in such weather. But in this quiet small village, another group of people are quietly queuing.
They were dressed in rags and shabby, looking ahead, in a long line, holding the money they had just earned and still had their body temperature in their hands. Some of them have just exchanged the only basket of eggs left at home, some have sold a lamb cake at home, or have made some small trades. Their faces were haggard and their expressions were withered, but their eyes showed a little eagerness. It is said that the fresh air sold here can cure the so-called "haze disease", but in fact, some people say that it cannot be cured at all, and if you get sick, you can only wait for death. But this may be alleviated, at least for a year and a half. But who doesn't spare their lives? There are also parents and children who are sick, and it is always good to have a way to treat them, so I can't help but throw my savings directly into it as soon as my head is hot.
This is what they call a "life-saving cure".
Xiaoying is also in this team.
When it was her turn, Xiaoying's face couldn't help but have a look of expectation.
After paying the money and taking the medicine, Xiaoying checked the transparent bag, and couldn't figure out what the name was, but thinking of the efficacy of the medicine inside, she couldn't help but smile on her face, and she was a little relaxed and ready to go home.
Suddenly, the team writhed, and with a shrill scolding, an old man behind Xiaoying was directly kicked to the ground.
Xiaoying leaned down to help the old man up, frowning at the fat benefactor who was loudly scolding them, and there was a sickly beauty on her delicate and pale face, which gave her a different kind of charm. A gorgeously dressed teenager in the corner stared at her, staring intently.
He had never seen such an aura of a young girl.
He froze.
At this time, the shrill voice of an obese middle-aged man who was selling "good medicine" broke the silence.
"You people are really insatiable, this medicine is so rare, there is no place to buy it if you have money! The master is so kind to reward you, and you still want to get an extra one? It's expensive! If you want to get money, if you don't have money, get out of here, get out! ”
Xiaoying pursed her lips and handed a bag in her hand to the old man happily: "Here's this for you." Your granddaughter is sick and needs it. ”
The old man looked at her face, and suddenly began to cry, he also had a sick person in his house, and at a glance he could see that the little shadow in front of him was also sick: "No, I can't have you." Can't ask yours. ”
Her face is not too bad, but anyone with a little experience can see that she also has some symptoms.
"I can come back tomorrow, you're in a hurry." Xiaoying smiled: "Just take it." ”
The old man went away with a thousand thanks.
Xiaoying watched the old man go away. Also ready to leave.
But she had barely taken two steps when a teenager's voice came from behind her.
"Please wait a minute."
She turned her head.
Then I saw a smiling teenager. The eyes are as bright as a clear spring.
He reached out to her, clutching a bag in his hand.
"Here's this."
She was slightly stunned, wondering why the boy had behaved like this.
She looked very beautiful, and she looked very serious when she looked down and thought, and the young man couldn't help blushing slightly. So he repeated: "This is for you." ”
"Thank you. But I can't ask for it. She turned and left. Didn't take it.
The boy was stunned. I don't know why she refused.
Maybe she doesn't know herself yet. He's the son of the richest man in the place. Those maidens did not fail to cheer when they saw him, and even some of the bold ones would surround them, and each time they were so frightened that they fled into the wilderness.
The people behind him were surprised at first when they saw this scene, and then some people rushed towards him frantically. At first it was one or two, and then the whole crowd poured in.
Drugs are so expensive that people don't want to spend their savings to buy them. After buying this medicine, although it will not ruin the family, it is also expensive. Although it is expensive, it is also difficult to part with relatives at home.
"Give it to me, give it to me. My daughter is still waiting for me to go back. ”
“…… Give me. My dad is still sick. ”
"My grandma is sick too, and it's not a few days left......!"
……
The crowd pounced on him and quickly overwhelmed him.
"What's going on? What's going on? Are you all crazy? Seeing the people in line suddenly messing up and rushing towards a place, the obese middle-aged man was still secretly wondering: "Fuck, what's wrong with this group of poor ghosts today?" Are they all crazy? ”
Suddenly, out of the corner of his eye, he caught a glimpse of a blue gold-trimmed garment.
Why does it look so familiar...... He thought that his fat body had involuntarily rushed over. After thinking about it again, his heart suddenly panicked.
"Damn, isn't that the young master's favorite clothes to wear on weekdays?"
It's broken.
If the master finds out, he will have to cripple me...... His cold sweat fell instantly.
He pounced and tried to drag the young master out, but in order to grab the medicine, those people who usually seemed to have little strength were like being beaten with chicken blood, and they were abnormally strong. He struggled for a long time, but he didn't succeed.
So, the obese middle-aged man tried to push people away with his hands, and scolded fiercely: "Get the for Lao Tzu, otherwise I won't sell medicine today!" ”
This sentence really worked. The people who were still desperately fighting suddenly calmed down. Then slowly spread out.
The boy who was squeezed under the crowd was finally revealed, his clothes were dirty, and he was very embarrassed.
"Young master, young master, are you okay?" Seeing that the young man was injured in several places, the obese middle-aged man scolded himself in his heart, and with panic on his face, he hurriedly reached out to help him.
"If something happens to the young master, don't think about it!" The middle-aged man shook his fat body and continued to curse.
In the crowd, the young man who had passed the catastrophe was stunned, not knowing what he was thinking.
