"Bao baby, don't cry. Grandma is fine. I didn't see you marrying a wife and having children. Even the King of Hell wouldn't want to drag me away!"
The old man looked at his grandson with a kind and firm expression.
The people next to him seemed a little silent in this atmosphere.
It wasn't until a while later that the old man broke the atmosphere, turned his eyes to Hou Jiuming, and said gratefully.
"Thank you sir for your life-saving grace. I have nothing to repay!"
It seemed that after a while, he had regained some strength. With trembling hands, he 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 wonder if it can be used as a medical fee?"
The simple pattern on the silver bracelet may have been worn away by wearing it so often that the specific pattern cannot be clearly seen.
Although in Hou Jiuming's view, 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 that the grandfather and grandson were pitiful, he sincerely declined the consultation fee.
"You're welcome, old man. It is the duty of a doctor to save lives and heal the wounded. You have made me famous this time, so you won't charge for the consultation. I hope that after the old man returns, he can help me spread the word."
"How can that be done? Although it is our duty to save lives and heal the wounded, we also have to eat..."
As soon as Hou Jiuming said his words, the old man immediately objected. It was obvious that he was a sensible old man.
However, with his determined attitude, the old man had no choice but to put away the bracelet and lamented repeatedly that he had met a good person.
Baowa, who had been watching this incident, saw that Hou Jiuming not only rescued his grandma, but also refused to charge for the consultation, he knelt on the ground with red eyes.
"Dong dong dong~"
He kowtowed three times firmly.
"Thank you sir for your kindness. Baowa will remember it in my heart and will do my best to repay you in the future!"
Perhaps due to excessive force, a pendant slipped out of the clothes while kowtowing.
More than three inches long, the whole thing is green, with mysterious patterns engraved on it.
As soon as it leaked out, it attracted all Hou Jiuming's attention.
So much so that what Bao Wa said when he kowtowed was completely ignored.
On the other side, Baowa, who finished kowtowing, thought that after she finished speaking, her husband would be polite or come forward to help her.
But after talking for a long time with his head lowered, there was no movement. When he looked up, he found that the gentleman was staring at him!
This situation immediately shocked him.
Just when he was at a loss, the old man spoke at the right time.
"Bao Wa, take off the pendant your father left for you and give it to your husband!"
After hearing this, Hou Jiuming, who was stunned, immediately woke up and saw a flash of embarrassment in his expression when he saw Baowa taking out the pendant.
Just now he refused the bracelet righteously, but now he was looking at the pendant in a daze. When outsiders saw it, didn't they think he was attracted to the jade pendant?
So, I quickly explained.
"Old man, I misunderstood. I do like this jade pendant, but it's not what you think!" While speaking, observe the reactions of the people around you.
I found that except for the old man, Bao Wa and Zhu Zhu, everyone else looked at him with disdain.
"Hey, can't you explain it clearly?"
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 put his hand into his sleeve and started to pull out the money.
After hearing what he said, the old man immediately stopped him and said, "Sir, you don't have to do this. I believe you. It's not a valuable thing anyway, so just take it!"
After saying that, he looked at Baowa and said, "Baby, why are you still standing there? Hurry and give the pendant to sir."
"Hey!" In response, Baowa got up from the ground, held the pendant and walked to Hou Jiuming, "Sir, here it is, you don't have to pay..."
"That won't work. If I don't give you money, who will I be? I said I won't charge a fee for treatment, so I won't!" He took out a silver ingot worth about five taels from his pocket.
Without saying a word, he stuffed it into Baowa's hand.
At the same time, the other hand also took the jade sword.
"this……"
Facing the money that Hou Jiuming had forced away, Baowa didn't know what to do for a moment.
This much money was a huge sum of money that their poor family had never seen before.
To be honest, he wanted it very much.
Because with this money, not only can the family's life be improved, but it can also be used to take care of grandma who has just recovered from a serious illness.
However, the other party had just saved his grandma and had not yet confiscated the medical fee. Now he is interested in a worthless pendant, but he is collecting the money. It cannot be justified.
Unable to make a choice, he could only turn his attention to his grandmother.
The old man was sensible, and when he looked at the eyes of the people around him, he understood Hou Jiuming's dilemma.
So he nodded to his grandson.
Seeing her grandma's permission, Baowa happily ran to her grandma and handed the money to her like a treasure.
Hou Jiuming didn't know about the interaction between grandfather and grandson.
The moment he took the jade pendant, he felt huge waves in his heart.
Because, this jade pendant can actually activate the magic power in the body.
If it wasn't in public, he would definitely follow his feelings and try to instill mana into it.
Resisting the desire to try, Hou Jiuming took the jade pendant into his arms and looked at his grandfather and grandson.
Seeing that they did not refuse the money, I thought to myself.
"No wonder there is an old saying that a family has an old man like a treasure. Sure enough, the ancients never deceived me!"
Next, Hou Jiuming began to make insinuations about the reason why the old man was harboring yin energy.
After some understanding, he quickly had a guess in his mind.
The old man usually makes a living by washing clothes in the town.
The range of activities is not very large either.
But yesterday was the death anniversary of her husband, so she went to the cemetery to pay her respects.
As a result, I don't know why, but I got into trouble with ghosts.
After figuring out the whole story, Hou Jiuming asked for the direction of the cemetery, and then took some medicine for her, and the matter was officially over.
When the onlookers at the door saw that there was no excitement to be seen, they voluntarily dispersed.
However, as the crowd dispersed, word spread that doctors from medicine shops all over the world had consulted doctors and cured diseases that could not be cured by a single needle at Huichun Pavilion.
…………
On the other side, the Rejuvenation Hall.
A young waiter was angrily talking to an old man with white hair and beard.
"...That's it. Those people are so abominable. They actually said that you are not as good as that young boy from Sihai Medicine Store!"
"Okay!" The old man stopped the waiter's chattering with a smile, "The skills are inferior to others, and it's useless to talk. Since the other party dares to show his magical skills to rejuvenate and cure all diseases,
He must be a capable person, and he has cured patients that I couldn't. It's not wrong to say that he is better than me. There is no need to make a fuss over this matter.
There is nothing wrong with admitting that he is inferior to others. Now I am curious, how did he cure that person?"
"But……"
…………
After Sihai Medicine Store regained its calm, Hou Jiuming handed over the pillar and hurried back to the backyard, eager to study the pendant.
