Chapter 3: Treasures

What is it? Looking at the appearance of the black hole inside, An Xia was a little scared, but after hesitating for a moment, she suddenly remembered that she had been pushed off the balcony by Lin Meijiao and fell to her death.

A person who has died, what is there to be afraid of!

She stepped into the door.

The eye catches the eye of wooden boxes stacked together, and rows of bookshelves with four or five layers of bookshelves, on which are placed wooden boxes with vermilion paint.

An Xia saw candles and matches on the bookshelf, lit the candles, and opened a wooden box, which contained round pot-bellied short-necked enamel vials, with stoppers and wax oil seals.

She picked up a small bottle and shook it gently, hearing a gurgling sound inside, which seemed to contain something.

Then she saw a milky white piece of paper in the lid of the wooden box that had been opened first, and on it were four black calligraphy characters, which were traditional characters.

"Yi Anning Pill."

Anxia struggled to read the words on the note, and suddenly realized that the note indicated that the white porcelain bottle in this box contained this medicine.

An Xia's heart suddenly "thumped", and she immediately opened the small wooden box next to her, which also contained this note. She opened the wooden box on the bookshelf next door, and the five traditional characters of Angong Niuhuang Pill came into view.

These are all medicines, Anxia walked to the depths of the cave with a candle, although she couldn't see the whole cave clearly, but she judged by the echo of her own words that the cave must be very large, and she also found a well-preserved whole ginseng in the cave, stacked neatly according to the variety.

There were also various medicinal herbs sorted into sacks, some of which were lumps like tree bark, some of which looked like sun-dried leaves, and even dried specimens of thick, large centipedes that were longer than the palm of her hand.

An Xia was startled, took two steps back, and swept his eyes to the side There was still a table of eight immortals, and there were four antique Taishi chairs around the table.

An Xia caught the eye of something wrapped in bright yellow satin on the table, and she carefully glued the candle to the table, and the cold silkiness of silk came from her hands.

What is it? It must be very valuable to be able to wrap it so well, but after seeing hundreds of ginseng just now, and even a few of them have the appearance of human shapes, An Xia doesn't know what else can be more valuable than those ginseng.

She carefully opened the silk wrapped around the wooden box, a thirty centimeter long and twenty centimeters wide, with intricate patterns carved on it.

She opened the box, and inside were yellowed pieces of paper.

"Huo family's secret recipe one, Baibao antidote pill, 3 grams of Chuanbei, 6 grams of honeysuckle......" An Xia knew at a glance that this was a secret recipe of traditional Chinese medicine, she turned it over excitedly, and the last one said the Huo family's secret recipe three hundred and twenty-eight.

Sitting on the Taishi chair, An Xia suddenly felt out of breath.

"Anxia, Anxia?"

Lu Baichuan's voice came from his ears, An Xia gradually woke up, slowly opened his eyes, and saw Lu Baichuan sitting beside him.

Seeing that An Xia woke up, Lu Baichuan exhaled, she didn't seem to be out of breath just now.

Wake up from the dream and gradually come to your senses, grandma! Anxia slammed her support on the bed and tried to get up, but there was a wave of dizziness in her head, and she suddenly fell back on the bed.

"Don't move, you have a slight concussion, some abrasions on your body, and the doctor has hospitalized you for a few days." Lu Baichuan felt a little guilty, this girl's concussion was hit by a car just now, but fortunately the injury was not serious.

"My grandmother...... How is my grandmother? ”

An Xia asked hurriedly, in her previous life, her grandmother stayed up to the end, and the whole person was like a bone frame wrapped in human skin, with sallow skin, sunken eye sockets, and thin fingers like dry bones, especially the mouth with a piece of whitish skin upturned, revealing the pink flesh inside.

Before her grandmother died, she unconsciously cried out that she was thirsty, but the four uncles refused to give her a sip of water to drink, so that her grandmother was tortured and painful, and swallowed her last breath after seven days of hard work.

"Woooooo Thinking of her grandmother's tragic death, Anxia cried bitterly.

Growing up so big, Lu Baichuan has been training since he was a child, and what he learned when he arrived in the army was that he was a man who shed blood, sweat and tears, looking at the thin and pale An Xia and crying bitterly, he didn't know how to comfort him.

"Your grandmother has done a check-up, and the doctor said that she is severely dehydrated, chronically malnourished, gallstones, and a slight fracture in the ankle bone of her left leg, and everything else is fine."

"Huh?"

With tears in her eyes, An Xia heard Lu Baichuan say a series of problems in her grandmother's body, and suddenly thought that her grandmother had always said that her stomach hurt and her back hurt for so many years, was it not a stomach problem, but gallstones?

"Thank you, Mr. Lu, for saving me and my grandmother."

Thinking of the harm he had done to Lu Baichuan in his previous life, An Xia bit her lower lip, not daring to look at Lu Baichuan, her heart was full of repentance.

"It was my car that hit you, and I was supposed to save you."

Lu Baichuan looked at the little girl in front of him, her car hit her, she didn't say anything, she thanked herself for saving her first, which made him a little embarrassed.

"Actually, my head was broken by my aunt with a stick, not to you, I didn't drop my head when the car hit me."

"What? Why did she hit you? Lu Baichuan's eyebrows furrowed.

"Because I fed my grandmother water, my aunt thought I was doing this, and my grandmother had to stay up for a few more days, and she wouldn't be able to die for a while, and I didn't listen to me, so she simply picked up a stick and knocked me out."

Lu Baichuan's eyes narrowed slightly, covering the anger in his eyes.

"Moreover, my aunt found a human trafficker, saying that she was looking for my in-laws, and after my grandmother's funeral, she sold me to human traffickers at a high price."

At this time, Lu Baichuan could no longer hide his anger, and said in a deep voice: "They dare to do this!" ”

An Xia smiled self-deprecatingly, "What don't you dare, after my grandfather died, my uncles were clamoring to divide the family property." After dividing the property, none of them were willing to take care of my grandmother, so I ended up living with my grandmother in the old house.

After dividing up the land that my grandmother and I shared, each family gave five catties of white rice and five catties of corn every month, which was the ration for my grandmother and me, and we had to find our own way to eat the rest.

I can raise chickens and grow vegetables and go out to work, but the money I earn is not enough for my grandmother to see a doctor, and every time I see my grandmother have a stomachache and shiver all over her body and break out in a cold sweat, I hate myself for being useless.

I looked for a few uncles many times, kneeling and begging them to treat my grandmother, except for the fourth uncle who was not at home, every time I gave me some money to buy medicine, no one was willing to pay, and the money I earned in the brick factory, in addition to the family expenses, was only enough to buy some stomach medicine or painkillers for my grandmother, every time...... Every time my grandmother hurts, I can't wait for this disease to happen to me! ”

As she spoke, An Xia's eyes were covered with a layer of moisture, and she remembered her grandmother's discomfort when she was sick, so she couldn't wait to cut off her flesh and suffer this sin for her grandmother.

"Mr. Lu, I want to ask you something."

"You say."

"Can you give my grandmother a good look at the disease, I am willing to make an IOU for the money for the medical treatment, and I will definitely return it with interest in the future!"

The pleading in An Xia's eyes made Lu Baichuan nod involuntarily.
