Chapter 50: No Regrets in This Life (2)
Although it was pouring rain, as the largest pill shop in Qinglan City, Baicaotang was still open to welcome guests as usual, and the guests in the hall were buying their favorite pills in twos and threes, and there were not many people, but it was not deserted.
An idle man was watching the guests coming and going, and if any of the lone guests wanted to buy something, he would immediately greet them and introduce them.
"Huh, where did the girl come from?"
His eyes swept over a little girl who was completely soaked in the rain and dressed in simple clothes and barefoot, who had a beautiful face, but her wet hair was drooping down, and her arms and calves were scarred, giving her a sloppy feeling.
"Little girl, why did you get here? ”
The guy hurriedly walked to Nie Xiaoyu's side, most of the guests in the Baicao Hall are dignitaries in the city, even the patrons in this hall are by no means idle, if a little girl who doesn't know where to come from, and is covered in dirt, if she collides with any guest here, the guest will be considered, and the steward will hold the guy responsible.
"Uncle, I'm not here to play, I'm here to buy pills. ”
Nie Xiaoyu was shocked by the magnificent appearance of Baicaotang before she entered the door, this was the first time she walked out of the slum in the north of the city, and asked many people along the way how to get to this Baicaotang, and finally found this place that could save her father.
After entering the gate, the more magnificent building interior and the array of danxiang counters made Nie Xiaoyu even more overwhelmed, and the adults around him were all dressed in brocade clothes, wearing gold and silver, and his sloppy appearance was obviously incompatible with here.
"Ahh ”
Hearing that the little girl in front of him was actually here to buy the pill, the guy was also stunned, and he smiled wryly at random, obviously not believing Nie Xiaoyu's words, you must know that the pill sold by Baicaotang is also the lowest order of ordinary products, it is a real pill, not a medicine, and the cheapest Qi Replenishing Pill also costs a thousand Cangyun coins, which is not at all something that the little girl dressed as a civilian in front of him can buy.
"Really uncle, I want to buy the Yuping Immortal Elixir, my father is sick, only this medicine can save my father, uncle, can you sell it to me?"
Seeing that the adult in front of him wanted to drive him out, Nie Xiaoyu was so anxious that tears were about to fall, and he hurriedly grabbed the man's arm, begging that he wanted to buy the magic medicine that could save his father in Fubo's mouth.
"Aha, little girl, do you still know the Yuping Immortal Spirit Pill, then do you know how much a Jade Screen Immortal Spirit Pill costs? 10,000 Cangyun Coins! That's a mortal third-order elixir, okay, uncle still has a lot to do, you hurry home and don't stay here." ”
The guy shook his hand at the little girl in front of him, and then turned around and wanted to leave, this walk made Nie Xiaoyu anxious, although she was afraid of being anxious now, but as long as she could save her father's life, she couldn't give up.
"Ouch, where did this wild girl come from, so dirty, hit Miss Ben's body in water. ”
Nie Xiaoyu, who was hurrying to catch up with his buddy, was a little panicked, and collided with a girl in a fancy dress who was passing by, her thin body was already malnourished, and she was directly knocked to the ground, but it was indeed the girl who was covered in jewels who shouted first.
The girl's shrill scream immediately attracted everyone's onlookers, most of the people present were children of rich families, and Nie Xiaoyu, who looked at the ragged clothes, began to point their fingers.
"How did you put the rag-picking ones in?"
"yes, it can't be in and steal, is it? ”
The noise in the hall soon attracted the steward who had been sitting on the second floor, and quickly walked to the girl in the costume who was not reluctant, and nodded and walked up.
"Miss Wang, what makes you so angry, hey, you are our honored guest, and you won't notify me in advance when you come, so I can receive you." ”
The steward actually saw Nie Xiaoyu as soon as he came over, looking at the timid little girl there frightened, at a loss, and also understood the general situation, although he felt pity, but these rich patrons naturally couldn't be offended, so he hurriedly came over and invited the girl in Chinese clothes to rest in the elegant seat on the second floor, and secretly gestured to the guy on the side, signaling him to take Nie Xiaoyu away quickly.
"Uncle, I want to buy medicine, Yuping Immortal Elixir, can you sell it to me. ”
The steward, who led the girl in the costume to turn away, had just walked a few steps, but was stopped by the crisp shouts behind him, and turned back in astonishment, it was the little girl, at this time her big eyes bravely looked directly at herself, and her small breasts fell together, as if she had made a great determination.
"I know this medicine is very expensive, I don't have any money, but I can sell myself to you for money, I will help you do a lifetime of work, please save my father, Xiaoyu will kowtow to you. ”
In the surprised eyes of everyone, the weak girl knelt on the ground like this, and then desperately kowtowed to the steward in front of her, and the sound of her head hitting the ground sounded, which made the steward of the accident also feel heartache.
"Laughing to death, a girl who picks up rags still wants to buy pills, so if she has no money, she will get out quickly, and if she sells herself, she will sell it in Shuangfeng Building, but looking at your body, it is estimated that Shuangfeng Lou is too lazy to buy it, after all, no one will choose a yellow-haired girl like you if you buy it. ”
The girl in the Chinese costume who had been led away by the steward laughed directly when she heard Nie Xiaoyu's words, as if she had heard a joke, and remembered that the long skirt she specially selected was full of sewage by this dirty girl who didn't know where it came from.
Nie Xiaoyu looked at the girl in front of her who was dressed in gorgeous clothes and wearing gold and silver jewelry, and kept spewing foul words to herself, and what was even more terrifying was that so many adults on the lookers were also pointing at herself, and the disgust and disgust in her eyes could be clearly felt even if she was a child.
Even the steward of the Baicao Hall struggled for a while, and then turned his face away, letting the girl in gorgeous clothes shout even harder.
At this moment, the swelling and pain on my forehead, the abrasions on my arms, and the cold from my soaked clothes were all as great trauma to my soul.
The crowd in front of her gradually changed in Nie Xiaoyu's eyes, those women and young ladies with exquisite makeup, as well as handsome sons with servants, all distorted their faces, and surrounded themselves like demons and monsters, and she gradually felt a little out of breath.
"Shut up!"
A loud shout came, and Shengsheng dragged Nie Xiaoyu out of boundless fear, and looked back, a young man who was only twelve or thirteen years old at most was standing behind her, with an old servant beside him, his clothes were ice blue fine silk, and the snow-white piping embroidered with elegant bamboo leaf patterns and the mutton fat jade hairpin on his head complemented each other, and he was also a son of a wealthy family at a glance.
