Although he was very reluctant to pay the fifty yuan in his heart, Bai Xia cherished his body more, so he obediently stretched out his hand.

In such a hot weather, Dr. Xie's fingertips were a little cold, he pressed on Bai Xia's slender wrist, and at first there was a smile on his face, but his face slowly sank later, and his fingertips were slightly pressed down.

Bai Xia chuckled in his heart.

Could it be that she has some terminal illness?

"The Other Hand"

Doctor Xie took it for a long time, then asked Bai Xia to change his hand, and then asked her to open her mouth to look at the tongue coating.

After reading it, he didn't say a word, silently picked up the pen and wrote the prescription, then pinched the two prescriptions in his hand, and said to Bai Xia: "Little girl, sincerely benefit one hundred dollars."

Bai Xia's heart was full of thoughts, and he couldn't help but ask, "Doctor, do I have any terminal illness?" ”

Your face is a little scary.

Doctor Xie was stunned for a moment, and then smiled kindly: "Ah, it's not a big deal, you are still young, you will have to eat it in the future, and it is not a big problem to lose a little bit of your body."

Is it?

Why am I so unbelieving?

And no matter how you look at it, I feel that this Dr. Xie is a little infiltrating with a smile.

It's like the doctors who comfort cancer patients in modern times.

However, the doctor said so, and it was not good to continue to ask, only to see Bai Xia take out his purse in pain and count them one by one in his hand.

Seeing the little girl counting the copper coins with a serious face, Dr. Xie was a little surprised in his eyes, a hundred wen, nothing more, nothing less.

Of course, he was not afraid that Bai Xia would give less money, but he was a little surprised, this was a little girl from the countryside, she was not very old, and her calculation was good.

Bai Xia gave the money, and Dr. Xie didn't say much, and handed over the two prescriptions.

"Let's go to the front and grab the medicine"

As he spoke, he put all the copper coins in his sleeve pocket.

Bai Xia took a deep breath, entering this pharmacy is like entering a hospital in modern times, no matter what kind of disease, if you don't spend a few hundred, you won't be able to get out.

However, in order to have enough reserves of medicinal materials, she could only endure the pain.

After grabbing the medicine from the guy, two pieces of medicine, she went to 1,300 yuan, and after carrying the medicine, she only had a few hundred yuan left in her hand.

She threw the medicine into the back basket, and looked at the learning words in the transformation pool, and returned to the energy value of about two thousand, Bai Xia felt that she had come to life.

I was about to go shopping for something more when I heard a grunting sound.

Li Xiuyuan covered his stomach with a red face, and when he saw Bai Xia looking at him, he couldn't help but explain: "I, I'm not hungry"

As soon as he finished speaking, his stomach screamed again.

Li Xiuyuan's face turned even redder.

This belly is not angry at all.

As if he was infected, Bai Xia's stomach also bulged.

She couldn't help but spread her hands "Okay, you're not hungry, it's me who is hungry"

After speaking, he looked around, and then frowned.

I don't know if it's her delusion, but she always feels that there are more people around here, and those refugees who were originally concentrated outside the town have poured in, and some even carry bowls and beg directly on the side of the road.

"Let's go buy something again"

After speaking, Bai Xia took Li Xiuyuan's hand and walked towards the residential area of the town.

Naturally, the town is also inhabited by ordinary people, who usually make a living by doing some small businesses or working in shops.

They don't depend on the fields to survive, so there is no grain tax, but they still have to pay some money to the government every month, and the grain in the fields is not recovered, and the peasants have a hard time, and their lives are even more difficult for the small vendors.

But the only thing is good, that is, there are many wells in the town, and the water source is more abundant than that of other villages.

Of course, it is precisely because they have no land, so in addition to saving some of the silver they earn on weekdays, they will buy some grain to store, even if it is not too much, but there will still be a hundred catties smaller.

When Bai Xia came to the alley, he didn't knock on the door blindly, but found a woman who was setting up a stall on the side of the road to inquire.

Ask the neighbors who are the most difficult to get along with and who is the best to get along with.

Of course, the woman would not say it easily, but after Bai Xia paid ten cents as a reward, she happily told the neighbors around the alley, and after getting the news she wanted, Bai Xia was not in a hurry, but asked: "Hey, auntie, do we often have businessmen from outside in Wuzhen come in to do business?" ”

The woman was stunned for a moment, as if she wondered how Bai Xia knew, and then said: "There are a lot of merchants from outside, but that was ten days ago, since there has been no rain in the past few months, the crops in the field have died of drought, and the official ...... After that, no merchants from outside came in."

"Without merchants from outside transporting rice and grain, we are all about to run out of food."

Bai Xia knew that she wanted to say that the government should not collect grain taxes in advance, and shaved the people clean.

If you don't have to make any money, those merchants won't come.

Then the woman sighed twice, and then she asked with interest, "Where are the many merchants who used to come to us?" ”

The woman didn't have much business, seeing that Bai Xia gave money, and no one talked to the two of her for too long, so she simply said: "Hey, there are not many anywhere, there are some people everywhere, those people, their hearts are very dark, I heard that they bring all the things that they can't sell in their realm, and no one wants, and then pull them to us, and sell them at a high price."

"Then someone buys it?" Bai Xia pretended to be surprised.

"Why not, it's something they don't want in their realm, and it's also a rare commodity that we have here, but it's being grabbed by someone."

The truth that strange goods can live.

Bai Xia nodded inwardly, and at the same time imagined the possibility of relying on the conversion pool to do business.

Later, after thinking about it, I gave up, the children of businessmen could not take the imperial examination, and the families of scholars could not do business.

If you just cut two bamboos on the mountain and weave a few straw hats to sell like before, it is not considered a business.

Don't think about anything else.

"Have you seen those people, lady?"

"Why haven't I seen it?"

"Do they look like us? Are there any particularly tall ones? ”

"Yes, some of them come from the north, I heard that they seem to be from Youzhou, the merchants there are all tall, and their bodies and bones are stronger than ours here, and if you punch down, you are afraid that even a cow can kill you."

"Ah, aren't these people going to make trouble? Who can beat this?"

"It's not going to happen, people are businessmen, not bandits, how can they make trouble"

"But I heard that these people are still secretly buying people, and I also heard that they specialize in buying married and widowed women, and they don't know what to buy for" Bai Xia's words lowered his voice, and Li Xiuyuan, who was originally bored listening to the two women chatting and gossiping next to him, immediately cheered up after hearing Bai Xia's words.

His hands were clenched into fists, his lips pursed slightly, and he looked nervously at the woman, hoping to find out something from her.

Although Bai Xia didn't tell him about his mother's sale, he heard that a businessman bought a married and widowed woman, such an obvious feature, with his cleverness, there was nothing he could not imagine.
