Chapter 18: The Pendant

"Baowa doesn't cry, grandma is fine, I didn't see you marry a wife and have children, even the king of Hades doesn't want to pull me away!"

The old man looked at his grandson with a kind and firm expression.

The person next to him was a little silent in this atmosphere.

It wasn't until a long time later that the old man broke this atmosphere, turned his gaze to Hou Jiuming, and said gratefully.

"Thank you, sir, for saving your life, the old body can't be repaid!"

It seemed that after such a while, he regained some strength, trembled his hands, took off an old bracelet from his wrist, and handed it to him reluctantly.

"My family is poor, and I only have this bracelet, I don't know if it can be used as a medical fee?"

Silver bracelets, with simple patterns on them, may be worn often because they have long been worn to the point where they can't see the specific pattern clearly.

Although in Hou Jiuming's opinion, this bracelet is not even enough for the consultation fee, let alone a Wuling pill.

But thinking that the old man had indirectly made a name for himself, and the grandparents and grandchildren were pitiful, he sincerely declined the consultation fee.

"The old man is polite, saving lives and helping the wounded, it is the duty of a doctor, this time you can be regarded as a fame for me, so I won't charge a medical fee, I hope the old man can help me publicize more after I go back."

"How can I do that, although it is my duty to save lives and help the wounded, I also have to eat......"

As soon as Hou Jiuming's words came out, the old man immediately objected, and it could be seen that he was a sensible old man.

However, under his resolute attitude, the old man could only put away the bracelet helplessly, and sighed again and again that he had met a good person.

Baowa, who had been watching the matter next to her, saw that Hou Jiuming not only woke up her grandmother, but also did not charge the medical fee, and knelt directly on the ground with red eyes.

"Knock knock~"

There were three solid knocks.

"Thank you, sir, for your great kindness, Baowa will keep it in mind and will do her best to repay it in the future!"

It may be the reason for using too much force, and when kowtowing, a hanging ornament in the clothes slipped out.

It is more than three inches long, the whole is green, and there are mysterious patterns engraved on it.

As soon as it leaked out, it attracted all of Hou Jiuming's attention.

So much so that what Bao Wa said when she kowtowed was not heard at all.

On the other side, Baowa, who had finished kowtowing, thought that after she finished speaking, Mr. would be polite, or step forward to help.

But after lowering his head and talking for a long time, he didn't see any movement, and when he looked up, he found that Mr. was staring at him deadly!

This situation immediately startled him.

Just when he was at a loss, the old man spoke at the right time.

"Baowa, take down the pendant that your father left for you and give it to Sir!"

Hearing this, Hou Jiuming, who was stunned, immediately came to his senses, and when he saw the treasure baby who was taking the pendant, his expression flashed with embarrassment.

Just now, he refused the bracelet with righteous words, but now he looked at the pendant in a daze, and when outsiders saw it, didn't they think he had a crush on the jade pendant?

So, I hurriedly explained.

"The old man misunderstood, I do like this jade pendant a little bit when I look at it, but it's not what you think!" When you speak, observe the reactions of the people around you,

It was found that except for the old man and the treasure and the pillar, everyone else leaked a disdainful gaze.

"Hey, can't you explain?"

Shaking his head secretly in his heart, he said helplessly,

"Old man, I really like this pendant, so I'll pay for it!" As he spoke, he reached into his sleeve and began to dig out the silver.

The old man listened to his words and immediately stopped, "Sir, don't do this, I believe in you, it's not a valuable thing anyway, you just take it!" ”

After speaking, he looked at Baowa, "Baby, why are you still stunned, hurry up and give the pendant to Mr." ”

"Hey!" In response, Baowa got up from the ground, held the pendant and walked to Hou Jiuming, "Sir, for you, you don't have to give money......"

"That's not good, don't give money, I'm something, I don't accept the medical fee if I say it's okay, I won't accept the medical fee!" And he took out of his bosom a minot, about five taels of silver,

Without saying a word, it was stuffed into Baowa's hands.

At the same time, the other hand also took over the jade sword.

"This ......"

Faced with Hou Jiuming's strong silver, Baowa didn't know what to do for a while.

So much silver, for their poor family, can be described as a huge amount of money that has never been seen before.

To be honest, he wanted it very much.

Because with this silver, you can not only improve the life of the family, but also recuperate your grandmother who is recovering from a serious illness.

However, the other party just saved his grandmother, and he didn't confiscate the consultation fee, and now he has a fancy to a worthless pendant, but he collects the money, so he can't say it.

Unable to choose, he could only set his sights on his grandmother.

The old man was sensible, and looking at the eyes of the people around him, he knew Hou Jiuming's dilemma.

So he nodded to his grandson.

Seeing her grandmother's permission, Baowa happily ran to her grandmother and handed her the silver as if she were offering treasure.

The interaction between the grandfather and grandson, Hou Jiuming did not know.

The moment he received the jade pendant, a monstrous wave set off in his heart.

Because, this jade pendant can actually attract the mana in the body.

If it weren't for the public, he would definitely have to follow his feelings and instill mana into it.

Holding back the desire to try, Hou Jiuming took the jade pendant into his arms and looked at his ancestors and grandchildren.

Seeing that they did not refuse the silver, he secretly said in his heart.

"No wonder the old saying is like a treasure in the family, sure enough, the ancients did not deceive me!"

Next, Hou Jiuming began to knock on the side of the old man's reason for the yin qi.

After some understanding, he quickly had a guess in his heart.

The old man usually lives by washing clothes in the town.

The range of activity is also not very large.

But yesterday was the death day of her wife, so she went to the cemetery to pay respects.

As a result, I don't know why, I got into trouble with ghosts.

After figuring out what happened, Hou Jiuming asked about the direction of the cemetery, and then grabbed a few more doses of medicine for her, and the matter was officially over.

The onlookers at the door saw that there was no excitement to see, so they consciously dispersed.

However, as the crowd dispersed, the news that the Four Seas Medicine Store sat down to see a doctor and cured the disease that could not be cured by a needle in the Rejuvenation Pavilion spread.

…………

On the other side, the Rejuvenation Lobby.

A young man was indignantly talking to an old man with a white beard.

“…… That's it, those people are so hateful, they even say that you are not as good as that hairy boy from the medicine shop of the four seas! ”

"That's it!" The old man smiled and stopped the guy's chatter, "The skills are not as good as others, it is useless to say more, since the other party dares to hang out a wonderful hand to rejuvenate and cure all diseases,

must be a capable person, plus he has cured a patient I can't cure, it's not wrong to say that he is better than me, there is no need to earn a blush and a thick neck for this matter,

Admitting that he is inferior to a man, there is nothing, and I now wonder how he healed that man. ”

"But ......"

…………

After the Four Seas Medicine Store regained its calm, Hou Jiuming explained the pillar, and hurried back to the backyard, eagerly studying the pendant.
