He didn't want bin Laden to drink the damn curse medicine, but he didn't want to watch his child die like this.

If you look at it rationally, bin Laden and Ben could have given up their first child. Because they can go on to have a second, a third child.

This sick child was indeed just one of the insignificant children in front of the numbers, but Wan in front of Ben and Laden was a living being, an angel for them!

"No, no......" Ben could only say in pain, helplessly, and weakly, and he couldn't think of what to do at all.

"Ben, like my child!" When a girl becomes a mother, the maternal love in her body will be fully awakened, and even swallow her reason.

"But ......"

The husband wanted to retort, "He's my child too!", but he couldn't say it because Ben's strong self-esteem and inferiority complex made him unable to speak at this time.

Ben blames himself, he feels like a waste, unable to do anything for his family. He doesn't think he has any say in this situation.

"Let's go and see the price of the medicine first......" Finally, Ben could only say to Laden a little more sensibly.

The husband's compromise was understood by bin Laden.

Before dawn the next day, bin Laden rushed to the pharmacy merchant to check the price of the drug.

Unexpectedly, there was already a group of people lined up at the door of that pharmacy, and most of them were fish people. Many queuers queued up overnight, they didn't sleep all night, holding their chests tightly, and the solid gold coins on their chests made them feel at ease, this is life-saving money!

Despite the enthusiasm of the customers, it seemed that the owner of the pharmacy was not interested, and they opened the door of the pharmacy only late at noon.

This lazy service attitude should make the fish-people extremely angry, but now they are asking for help, and they can only try to suppress the anger in their hearts. begged the shopkeeper to sell the medicine and bargained with the shopkeeper.

Ben and Laden squeezed to the front of the line, and Ladama's huge body and infinite strength allowed them to approach the shopkeeper with relative ease.

"Is this medicine a cure for fish fever?" Ben asked the shopkeeper cautiously, pointing to a small black pill displayed on the wall of the shop.

Now that medicines are precious, pharmacies have taken corresponding protective measures to prevent anyone from approaching them, and can only watch from afar.

"Yes, a special medicine, one pill will work. "The owner was a little impatient. However, I answered the customer in earnest with the tone of an advertisement.

"How much?"

"Two gold coins!" the shopkeeper cocked his fingers. He was very annoyed by this price, because most of the fish people here were illiterate, so even if there was a price sign indicating the price, there were still many people asking for the price.

Of course, the most annoying thing for the shopkeeper is the poor bargaining ghosts, who are now busy with business, and when he encounters such a customer, he directly asks the specially hired bodyguards to "invite" him away. He didn't want to waste his precious time on such a poor ghost.

Bin Laden didn't buy it, and their family didn't have enough money now, so they had to retreat.

"Bah, poor ghost!" the shopkeeper whispered, crushing a mouthful of phlegm. Looking at the customers who left, he scolded.

However, the monkfishmen were not embarrassed by this, for their joy was greater than the shame.

"When my dead mom went to drink the curse potion, she got five gold coins...... After being cured of Wan's illness. We still have some money to start a small business. I know that humans love to eat seafood very much, and we are fishmongers. Selling shrimp to humans, as long as it is properly managed, basically has no worries about food and clothing!" Ben said on bin Laden's abdomen.

He didn't know whether to be happy or sad, for the cost of such a life was very heavy for him, and yet he had to say this in order to comfort his wife.

But even such a small hope was overturned by the ruthless reality, because when the monkfish couple came to the mermaid's execution department, the staff of the department coldly told them that they could only get three gold coins by drinking the curse potion now.

When Ben and Laden heard the news, they couldn't help but feel a chill in their hearts, and they hurriedly asked the reason: "Didn't you get five gold coins before?"

"How do I know that. The staff didn't answer angrily.

In fact, the real reason is that the merfolk have recovered the tears of the sea, so that the number of merfolk can be guaranteed to increase, and there is no need to limit the number of merfolk so strictly, although there is still a restriction on the number of merfolk for a period of time, but the reward is reduced accordingly, in order to achieve the problem of adjusting the proportion of the population of Leyfsey.

Of course, these contents are a merfolk conspiracy, and it is impossible for them to say it for the merfolk to know.

After a jiliè argument with the mermaid, the monkfish couple did not get any concessions, and the mermaid was killed at the price of "three gold coins".

This was not a fair deal in the first place, the monkfish couple had to trade the happiness of the rest of their lives for life-saving gold coins, and the merfolk were just carrying out their blatant conspiracy, and these three gold coins were nothing to the rich merfolk.

If it was a normal deal, the monkfish people would have turned around and walked away a long time ago, however, behind this deal, it was their children's lives.

In the end, the monkfish couple had no choice but to compromise and accept the price of three gold coins.

Ben will never forget the scene when Ladan drank the curse potion, but he can't remember how Laden drank it, and the conflict caused by this pain makes his memory clear and blurry.

When the monkfish man couple came to the pharmacy full of hope with three gold coins and wanted to buy the special medicine, the shopkeeper turned his face away and said coldly: "I'm sorry, the price has increased now, and one medicine needs four gold coins." ”

In one morning, the price doubled! The monkfish couple felt as if something had choked their necks, and they were suffocating with weight.

The monkfish couple still had to bargain, but the bodyguards hired by the shopkeeper had been waiting for a long time, and quickly surrounded the two, intending to "invite" them out.

What is the most likely thing to break down? If the answer is despair, then the answer is too perfunctory.

The real answer is: after despair, give a glimmer of hope, and when that person works towards the remaining glimmer of hope, then completely extinguish that little bit of hope and let him fall into complete despair.

It is precisely this type of situation that the monkfish couple is experiencing right now. In the end, they finally broke down in despair. Osama bin Laden went berserk in a rage, and she used her powerful martial arts to knock the drugstore's bodyguards on their backs, trying to forcibly snatch the life-saving pills.

However, such recklessness only led to defeat, and in the end, bin Laden was subdued by numerous merfolk soldiers, and the revolt was a complete defeat.

Fortunately, although bin Laden was seriously injured, her strong body ensured that she would not be fatal.

Because there were no fatalities in the riot, the Monkfishmen were simply imprisoned. However, they could not wait so quietly for the end of their sentence because they had a sick child to take care of at home.

At this time, they were extremely annoyed and wanted to get out of the cage and return to Wan's side. However, they are held in special cages, and even the most powerful prisoners will become weak when they enter, and they will not even have the strength to stand up, so where will they have the strength to escape?
