Ning Ke stayed in the small town on the border of Xishu on the grounds that she was unwell, and Old Man Hu urged her several times, and she said that she was unstable and could not hurry anymore, and asked Old Man Hu to go first.

In fact, she stayed, not really because of unstable fetal gas, probably because she had hope in her heart and wanted to wait for Chu Junyue!

"Then what's going on?" Old man Hu's eyes widened, and he resisted, "If you want to go together, we won't leave you!" Now that you have returned to Xishu, more and more people will recognize you, and the more dangerous you will be, where can you be alone!"

"It's still far away from the capital of Xishu! What's the hurry?" Ning Ke lazily wrote and drew in his notebook, and said casually, "Besides, my face is also the first time I've seen someone, who can know me?"

Old man Hu wrinkled his brows and glanced at her, his eyes contained many words, but he moved his lips, he still looked scrupled, and he didn't say it explicitly, but gave her a vague sentence.

"You're good-looking now!

Ning Ke hooked his lips and sneered, shook his head, and ignored him.

She knew it was just an excuse for him, he had a secret and wouldn't tell it directly.

Since she crossed over, she knew that her identity was definitely not simple, she had mastered a high level of medical skills since she was a child, she knew how to forbear at a young age, hid her beauty, and pretended to be a cowardly and incompetent ugly monster for so many years, I am afraid that this face and this ability will attract the suspicion of others!

In addition, her mother-in-law is Liu Xueqiong, who is said to be a mysterious strange woman, from the mysterious Xishu, no one knows the specific identity, but she sensitively smells a different smell, wearing a veil of mystery, waiting to be revealed.

Of course, this is also the reason why she is willing to come to Xishu.

First, she wants to know the answer, and second, Xishu is the most developed and brilliant place in medicine, and she can enhance her ability and broaden her horizons by coming here.

In the end, Old Man Hu saw that she refused to leave, and there was really no way, so he went to negotiate with the other people, and finally agreed to Ning Ke's request to repair here for a few days.

"You can rest here, but you must tell us when you enter and exit, Xishu is much more complicated than Kyoto, and it is not safe for you to go out alone. ”

This is the only request of Old Man Hu.

Ning Ke naturally agreed, she cherished herself more than ever, and for the sake of the baby in her belly, she had to be more cautious.

Anyway, being idle and idle, Ning Ke thought that Xishu was a place where elixirs gathered, so he took a time to go to the streets to see if he could find a suitable medicine to come back.

When she was about to go out, she said to Old Man Hu, although Old Man Hu did not follow, Ning Ke obviously felt that there were people around her who were secretly protecting her.

She wasn't sure if it was Chu Junyue's hidden guards or the people arranged by Old Man Hu, since she met those mysterious people, she obviously felt that there were more hidden guards.

Probably, she's really important!

This is the border town of Xishu, although the place is small, but it is not poor, here as the transportation artery between Xishu and Kyoto, the commercial trade is developed, and it can be regarded as a prosperous border town.

Ning Ke was walking alone on the street, she had already changed into the clothes with national characteristics on the Xishu side, a bit like the Miao costumes in modern times, exquisite and bright, so no one noticed anything.

The streets of Xishu are different from those in Kyoto, and most of the medicines are sold, and many people from neighboring countries will come to buy them. After Ning Ke walked around by himself, he also bought a lot of medicinal materials that he needed, but they were all relatively ordinary and not rare.

She was a little lacking in interest, and seeing that it was almost dark, she planned to go home.

At that time, on a small and inconspicuous stall on the side of the street, an old man in tattered and unkempt clothes shouted, "Don't miss it when you pass by! Come and see the rare red shark pearls in this world! There is only one in a hundred years, and the quantity is scarce, so don't miss the ones you want to buy!"

Ning Ke felt novel, couldn't help but look at it a few more times, at first he didn't find out where his so-called red shark beads were, and after a few careful searches, he found a broken bowl in the old man's empty stall, and then broke the bowl with a few red beads, which didn't look much different from modern red crystals, but the color was better.

Is this thing real?

She had read it in the medical book left by Liu Xueqiong, saying that this is a pearl formed by the tears of a shark, which has the miraculous effect of generating blood and cultivating essence, and is a very rare and expensive medicinal material!

How expensive is it?

It was really expensive to be measured by money, and I heard that the former emperor of Xishu put out a heavy reward order to buy this red shark pearl at a high price to treat his beloved queen for postpartum blood collapse.

Countless people left happily, mostly disappointed, and no one had actually seen this rare treasure. It is said that in the end, the former empress of Xishu also died, and the emperor was depressed and abandoned the government, and was usurped by his own brother.

Since it was such a rare thing, how could this old man have it? Moreover, she had been observing it for a long time, and why was no one patronizing it?

I'm afraid, it's a liar!

Ning Ke thought about it, but still chose not to believe it, turned around and was about to leave, but the old man behind him seemed to find her interested, staring at her with bright eyes, and chased after her.

"This girl wants to buy shark pearls? Old man, this is true! It's rare to see in a hundred years! It can give birth to blood peiyuan, which is an excellent life-saving medicine!"

Ning Ke turned around, glanced at the old man suspiciously, and then looked at the bleak stall behind him, and couldn't help laughing, "Old man, since your thing is so valuable, then keep it for yourself!"

After saying that, she left, but the old man seemed to have a rare encounter with a distinguished guest, so he grabbed her snow-white sleeve in a hurry, "Hey, don't go! The old man's shark beads are real! Why don't any of you believe it? The old man has been selling here for decades, and there is not a single person who knows the goods!"

Decades?

Ning Ke looked at the old man's clothes up and down, and finally understood, I was afraid that he had really been selling for decades, because no one believed it, so he had such a bad life.

But since they can't be sold, why does this man still sell?

It's just weird.

"That's it, I don't want your shark beads, I'll give you some coils, so go home!" Ning Ke took out a few pieces of silver from his purse and stuffed them into the old man's hand.

The old man looked at the silver in his palm in a daze, and didn't react for a long time, Ning Ke thought he was too little, and gave him a few more, "That's enough, right?

"Silver!"

The old man muttered suddenly, and then as if he had picked up some treasure, he excitedly held the silver and kissed and bitten, and finally his eyes were red.

Ning Ke: "......"

This old man really looks like he has something wrong with his brain!

The old man didn't know that she had taken him as a fool in her heart, and she was holding the silver and smirking happily, Ning Ke pursed her lips, took a few steps back silently, and turned around and wanted to run.

"Don't go, girl!

The old man suddenly chased after him with the broken bowl, and he had to stuff it into Ning Ke's hands, Ning Ke didn't dare to ask for it like a hot taro, but the old man refused, blowing his beard and glaring, looking like "don't want to leave if you don't accept it".

Ning Ke couldn't cry or laugh, and in the end he could only reluctantly accept it, anyway, the fake one can also be used to string beads, right?

"Okay, I'll take it, if it's not enough money, I'll give you some more!"

Doesn't it mean that it is priceless? Then she gives more, so that it doesn't look so fake, right?

"No, no!" the old man smiled, "It's rare to meet you again, even if you don't give money, I will give it to you!"

Ning Ke sensitively grasped the keyword, "Meet me again?"

"Hey, hey, hey, you can't forget that face. The old man smiled, "Back then, you said you wanted this thing, and I worked hard to find it for you, but you never came, and I could only wait for you." Saying that, he patted his heart, relieved, "Fortunately, it's still too late, you can quickly take it back and save people!"

The more Ning Ke listened, the more confused he felt, back then?

She didn't even know where she was at that time? How could he know her?

Could it be her mother? But no one said that she was like Liu Xueqiong! Is it really such a coincidence that there are similar people?

Ning Ke became more and more puzzled, and was about to grab the old man and ask, but when he looked up, he found that the old man was gone, and he disappeared without even confiscating the stall.

She pursed her lips, lowered her head, looked at the shark beads in the bowl for a long time, couldn't figure it out, and finally carefully stuffed it into her purse and left.

After she left, in the small alley around the corner, the old man walked out silently, stared at her distant back, and sighed, "Hey, it's so big, time flies so fast!"

Ning Ke didn't know the episode behind him, so he ran back to the inn with the shark bead in his arms that he didn't know if it was true or false, and went directly to find Old Man Hu to distinguish the true from the fake.

Old man Hu heard her tell her about the origin of this thing, and at first he scoffed, saying that this thing must be fake, how could such a strange thing be so easy to get.

However, when he looked at it carefully, the whole person seemed to be stupid, his eyes were glued to the beads, and he didn't move for a long time.

"No...... It's really a real guy, right?" Ning Ke felt that there was a drama in him as soon as he saw his face.

Old man Hu swallowed his saliva with difficulty, and his hand holding the shark bead began to tremble, and he carefully put it back in his purse, before he raised his head and stared at her seriously, "You really bought this on the street?"

"Yes, didn't I tell you? Ning Ke also looked at him, "Could it be true?"

Old man Hu nodded heavily, "Yes! It's true! I didn't expect to be able to see you when I was alive!" As he spoke, he stared at her with burning eyes, "Where is that person?"

Ning Ke didn't have much feeling for this shark bead, probably because she didn't need it for the time being, and she didn't understand the urgency!

She was more interested in the old man, "That old man seems to know me, or someone from me, saying that the shark bead was waiting for me to get it decades ago, so he can't be an acquaintance, right?"

Old man Hu's face also sank, "It can't be him, right? But he's such a proud person, will he personally go to find the shark pearl? Waiting for decades? It's weird, it's weird, it's weird!"
