003 Crisis lurks
After about two or three miles from the exit of the barrier, there are a few grocery stores along the road.
One of the doors was hidden, and there was a faint light inside.
There is not much space in the grocery store, and there are a lot of miscellaneous items in the corners, as well as some medicinal herbs or some good blades.
Su Xian untied a black cloth pocket around his waist and carefully placed it on the counter.
There was no electricity here, and the light of the yellowish candle hit the young man's blackened face, flickering and dimming: "Old Huang! Estimate the price. ”
After speaking, Su Xian groped out a ten-yuan pack of "Shiqu" cigarettes, lit it and took a few puffs.
"Ahem, cough, cough~~~"
Inferior cigarettes are so strong that they choke the teenager and cough. He doesn't smoke much, but he has been worrying too much lately, and he bought a pack when he went to the ruins.
"Shout~~ It's you kid! It's a shame to come back so late. ”
"Alas~~ Su Xian, I didn't say you, at a young age, it's better not to smoke if you don't smoke, this thing is harmful."
The owner of the grocery store is surnamed Huang, about fifty years old, with a round face and a smiling tiger.
As he spoke, he quickly opened the black cloth bag and pulled out a half-foot-high birdcage, as thick as a sea bowl.
"No more nonsense, I'm in a hurry to get back to the county."
Su Xian frowned, spit out a low-quality cigarette, and looked a little impatient.
"Chirp~chirp~chirp~"
In the delicate and small bird cage is a snow-white thrush with bright feathers, unusually handsome, and a pair of turquoise eyes like amber, which is extremely agile.
Suddenly seeing the light, the white thrush seemed to be uncomfortable, jumping up and down in the cage.
The crisp and gentle call is very good, and it is particularly moving in the quiet night.
Its appearance immediately attracted the eyes of Boss Huang.
"White thrush?" Boss Huang squinted his eyes and looked at it seriously for a long time, with unconcealed affection in his eyes.
"How much?" Su Xian took a puff of his cigarette and asked casually.
Boss Huang raised his head and said with a smile: "Good thrush, I'll give you 100,000." ”
"Deal!"
After the transaction was completed, the money was counted, and after confirming that it was correct, Su Xian prepared to leave.
He had already inquired about the price of the white thrush, and the price given by Boss Huang was very fair.
"Huh! Brat! I warn you, don't go to the ruins, it's been a lot of peace lately. Boss Huang lowered his voice and reminded.
"Oh?"
Su Xian raised his eyebrows and glanced at Boss Huang with a smile, this old man seemed to know something.
When he arrived, the walls were noticeably tighter than usual.
"I need money!" Su Xian said.
Boss Huang smiled: "If you don't want to go out, it's better not to go out!" ”
"Why? What happened? Su Xian raised his head and looked at Boss Huang's eyes seriously.
The smile on Boss Huang's face froze, and he lost his smile for the first time: "Book from heaven!" The Book of Heaven was born. ”
"Book from the Heavens!!"
Su Xian's pupils shrank, and he suddenly thought of the golden book in his mind.
Don't......
Su Xian: "Lao Huang, what is the Book of Heaven?" ”
Boss Huang said casually: "I heard that the Book of Heaven is the supreme cultivation method, it is divided into eight parts, and if you get any of them, you will become the strongest person in the world, and if you collect all eight Heavenly Books, you will be able to ......."
As if realizing something, Huang Lao suddenly stopped talking.
"What can I do?"
"Huh!"
Huang Lao regained his smile: "Little child, why do you ask about this, you just need to know that the entrance and exit of the barrier are very dangerous now, and the people of the official government and those people from the ancient martial arts family are all paying attention here, so just come less in the future." ”
"Hmm!"
Su Xian nodded, realizing the thick crisis, he could now basically determine that the page of golden book in his mind must be related to the Book of Heaven,
If it is exposed, it will be dangerous, he is just an ordinary high school student, not to mention the official and those people from the ancient martial arts family, even in Licheng County, there are countless people who can easily pinch him to death.
If the people of the government or the ancient martial arts family knew that the Book of Heaven was in his hands, the consequences could be imagined.
Those people are not simple, the means are all over the sky, otherwise they would not have just gotten the Book of Heaven on his side, and the barrier would be under martial law.
"Damn! Things are getting a little tricky. ”
Su Xian's brows furrowed into the Sichuan character, if it suits the usual, he can not go to the ruins, but not now.
Xiao Luo needs to have surgery as soon as possible, the money on his body is not enough at all, he only has one relative in this world, Xiao Luo, he can't watch her die.
Ruins are the only way to make money.
Thinking that his sister was still lying in the hospital, Su Xian quickened his pace, let go of all his speed in the dark, and went straight to the county seat.
Running on the highway, he is like a cheetah, and his speed is extremely fast.
After running for five or six miles in one breath, Su Xian's face was not red or panting, it was obviously much faster than before, and now his body was much lighter.
"Something is wrong! My physical fitness has improved. ”
Su Xian also felt it while running, all along, although his body was good, it was impossible to run five or six miles without feeling tired.
Don't...... It was that golden page that changed my physique.
It's weird, what the hell is going on.
Did I really get the Book of Heaven?
No matter what, go home and study again, now go to the hospital first.
Putting aside all thoughts, Su Xian went straight to the hospital.
.......
"Director Wang, she has already contacted her brother, and his brother has gone to collect money. Their brother and sister are orphans, and they may not be able to pay the hospitalization fee for a while. "The little nurse Jiang Xuedao on the side." Orphan? What a pitiful little girl! ”
"Anyway, let the children be hospitalized first, and they don't have to pay the hospitalization fee for the time being."
"Huh! Great, Director Wang, I thank you for Brother and Sister Su Xian. ”
"By the way, Director Wang, what kind of disease does Xiao Luo have? Why is it cold? Incubators don't work. ”
"It has not been diagnosed yet, and nine times out of ten it is cold blood disease, which requires surgery, and the operation fee is 300,000 yuan."
"Three hundred thousand."
Door to the intensive care unit.
"300,000 ....."
Listening to the voice inside, Su Xian clenched his fists, full of a sense of powerlessness.
300,000 is not a small number for him, he has supported two people over the years, and he has to earn his own tuition, so he doesn't have much money in his hand at all.
In addition, the school year will start soon, and the tuition fee has not yet been settled.
The pressure on a high school student made him feel like he was struggling, and if he didn't, he wouldn't risk dying and going into the ruins.
Squeak~~~
The door to the intensive care unit suddenly opened, and a middle-aged physician stepped out.
"Doctor, how is my sister doing?"
Glancing at him, Director Wang smiled and said, "You are Su Xian, Su Xiaoluo's brother?" ”
"Yes."
"The child's condition is not optimistic, and the last test has not come out, if it is confirmed that it is cold blood disease, she must be operated on as soon as possible, otherwise, she may not survive a week."
"Understood, thank you......."
Su Xian's voice was a little hoarse, and his eyes were a little moist.
If Su Xiaoluo has three strengths and two weaknesses, what should he do?
Director Wang patted Su Xian's shoulder and comforted: "I will try my best to help with your sister's affairs, you don't need to be accompanied in the intensive care ward, I see that you are also tired, go back and rest." ”
"Hmm!"
Su Xian nodded, he really wanted to accompany Su Xiaoluo, but no, he needed to rest and recuperate in order to make better money.
When he caught the white thrush, he had been dormant for a week, with little rest, and although his physique had become different, his spirit had been greatly consumed.
"Xiao Luo hold on, don't be beaten, my brother will definitely make up for the tuition as soon as possible." glanced at Su Xiaoluo nostalgically through the glass, and Su Xian gritted his teeth and left.
Although I was lucky to catch the white thrush this time, it was still a lot worse.
