Chapter 229 Buying Medicine
My younger sister knew that Wang Tiedan was going to give it away.
No one had time to eat the steamed buns, including Qin Jingru. Their bellies were full, but even so, there was still half a basket of seafood left.
Wang Tiedan just peeled the skin and didn't eat much.
Seafood will taste worse when it’s cold.
Wang Tiedan put it back into the pot to steam it again and quickly returned to Yard 95.
First, I went to Uncle Ni's house and dropped off some crabs and conchs, and then I went to Aunt Zhao and Aunt Ma's house and dropped off some oysters and clams.
Before reaching Grandma Yang's place in the backyard, Xu Damao opened the door in a hurry.
"Tiedan, you're back. Come here, I have something important to do."
"Wait a minute, I'll be right back."
Wang Tiedan replied and walked towards Grandma Yang's house carrying the bamboo basket.
Xu Damao twitched his nose and hurriedly grabbed Wang Tiedan's arm.
"Tiedan, what's that delicious thing you're holding?"
"Try one of the steamed seafood."
As Wang Tiedan spoke, he lifted the thermal blanket on the bamboo basket and took out an oyster.
"Hey, oysters, good stuff!"
Xu Damao didn't hesitate to open the lid and slurped the food down.
"Is there more? One more."
"You don't need it, why eat so much?"
Although Wang Tiedan said no, he still took out one and went to Grandma Yang's house.
Xu Damao smacked his lips, very happy.
"Leave some for us to eat with wine."
Xu Damao ignored him and gave all the remaining clams, crabs and other things to Grandma Yang's house before returning.
"Tomorrow, I'll get some seafood for you to try."
"Then we have a deal."
Xu Damao looked excited, which meant that Wang Tiedan was not shy with him.
"We agreed on it. You just said you had something important to talk about. Now I'm going to sleep." Wang Tiedan said with a smile.
"Of course there is!"
Xu Damao glanced at the Liu family and pulled Wang Tiedan into the house.
"Liu Haizhong and Yan Bugui came to see me today and spent a hundred to ask me for my location."
Hearing this, Wang Tiedan suddenly became alert.
"Have you made all arrangements?"
"As for making money, as long as you spread the news, there will be plenty of people who will do it."
"Don't make it too bad."
"It's not up to me. It depends on how greedy they are!"
"That's true. I'm going to sleep now."
"No, I have something to do. Do you really have to wait until after the 15th for your medicine? Let me tell you, there are so many people waiting to be saved. I'm under a lot of pressure. Can you bring it forward?"
Xu Damao had no choice but to do so. People asked him about it every day and he couldn't afford to offend them.
"How about I get you two sheep dung balls and you just make do with them?" Wang Tiedan said with a smile.
"No, no, it's better to be late than to fake it. This will cost me my life." Xu Damao waved his hands hurriedly. This was not a joke.
"Then wait. If you don't want to wait, don't wait."
"It's easy for you to say that, but I dare not do that."
Xu Damao made a bitter face and pointed towards his room.
"I'm all ready, drink?"
"Forget it, let's do it tomorrow. I'll get some seafood tomorrow night."
"Let's watch a movie tomorrow, that's fine too!"
……
The next day, Liu Haizhong and Yan Bugui asked for directions along the way and headed for the Ming Tombs.
It was not until three o'clock in the afternoon that the two of them arrived at a small mountain village, panting.
I have to say, the place is really remote.
They wanted to give up more than once on the way and go back to question Xu Damao, but fortunately they found him now.
As soon as I arrived at the entrance of the village, a weathered old man blocked my way.
"Who are you and what are you doing in our village?"
"My dear father-in-law, is this Dayushan Village?" Yan Bugui bowed and asked with a smile.
"Yeah, who are you looking for?"
The old man looked at Liu Haizhong and Yan Bugui, and his smile could hardly be suppressed.
"Oh, we're looking for Old Man Yu." Liu Haizhong answered quickly.
"Old man Yu? Half of the people in our village have the last name Yu. Are you looking for that old man Yu?"
"Old man Yu who sells medicine."
Yan Bugui thought for a moment and replied.
"Oh, Old Yu, what about that?"
The old man turned and pointed to the hillside in the distance, where there was a thatched house that was very conspicuous.
"You don't have to go into the village, just go around here."
"Okay, thank you, old man~"
Yan Bugui and Liu Haizhong looked at the thatched hut. Their waist pain and leg soreness were gone. They said hello to the old man and walked over there.
The old man looked at the two men's backs and walked towards the village with a smile.
On the other side, Liu Haizhong and Yan Bugui walked for an hour before they arrived at the thatched cottage.
The two of them had no time to rest and knocked on the door impatiently.
"Who is it? Come in!" A vicissitudes of life voice appeared in the room.
Liu Haizhong and Yan Bugui looked at each other, their faces full of joy.
That’s right, this voice clearly belongs to a highly respected person, definitely an old Chinese doctor.
When they entered the room, they saw an old man with a white beard lying in a rocking chair, leaning against the stove, resting contentedly.
With this state and this demeanor, he is definitely a hermit. No wonder he has such a magical medicine.
"Hello, old man. We are from Sijiu City. We are co-workers of Xu Damao and neighbors who live in the same yard. He introduced us here." Yan Bugui stepped forward and said carefully.
Liu Haizhong followed beside him, also looking at the old man with anticipation on his face.
The old man picked up the tea bowl beside the stove, took a sip, and said calmly: "Projectionist Xu, I know what he introduced you to do."
"To be honest with you, doctor, we are here to ask for medicine. We want to buy some from you, old sir."
"Yes, that's the medicine for treating that dementia."
Liu Haizhong was an impatient person, and seeing that Yan Bugui was not in a hurry, he hurried forward to add something.
The old man glanced at Liu Haizhong and lay back on the recliner.
"I don't have any medicine, you got the wrong person!"
"what?"
Yan Bugui looked confused and didn't know what was going on.
Just then, he felt someone pulling his sleeve. He turned around and saw that it was Liu Haizhong who was pulling him and pointing his hand at the shelf next to him.
Following the direction of his gaze, he saw three boxes placed on it, exactly the same as the ones Xu Damao had shown.
This shows that they definitely did not make the wrong choice.
But, for some reason, the old man was unwilling to admit it.
They finally found the right place, but how could they not be able to buy medicine?
When Liu Haizhong wanted to speak, Yan Bugui pulled him behind him. At this critical moment, Liu Haizhong could not be allowed to cause trouble.
"Mr. Yu, we are sorry for disturbing you by coming to visit us. If we have offended you in any way, please let us know.
But we are here sincerely to ask for medicine. Human lives are in danger and we may not know what will happen next.
You are a kind-hearted doctor who helps the world and the people. Please sell us two doses of medicine. We will be grateful to you forever."
As he said this, Yan Bugui bowed deeply, very sincerely.
While bowing, he did not forget to pull his bangs.
Liu Haizhong was still confused. He barely understood half of what Yan Bugui had just said. Anyway, he felt it was very advanced.
After Yan Bugui pulled him, he also bent down hurriedly.
In fact, Old Man Yu on the recliner was also confused. He didn’t understand half of what I said. It was all nonsense. I was just trying to persuade him so that I could raise the price.
After saying so much, why don’t you just give me a price? You don’t say anything and just want to buy it. How would I know how much it costs?
