Chapter 70 The Legendary Golden Needle
"Okay, I'll listen to you." Jiang Hong agreed quickly after hearing this.
Li Yiyi was stunned for a moment, hesitated for a moment and then continued, "I have just learned Chinese medicine not long ago. Are you really willing to drink the medicinal food I make?"
"Yes, even if you make me arsenic, I am willing to drink it." He held her hand and kissed her back, staring at her with trusting eyes and answered.
Li Yiyi pulled her hand back in anger and amusement, "Do you think I'm Pan Jinlian? I'd feed you arsenic?"
"I was wrong. What I meant was that no matter what you make, I'm willing to drink it." He quickly changed his words and explained.
Hearing his words full of trust in her, Li Yiyi felt warm in her heart and held his hand, assuring him, "Comrade Jiang Hong, trust me, I will definitely help you take care of your body."
In the afternoon, Hong Shuo lived up to the couple's expectations and finally managed to rent a house with a kitchen near the hospital.
When Li Yiyi heard that they had found it, she immediately asked someone to take her there. The house was quite old, but it had most of the necessary places. In addition to the kitchen, the house also had a small yard.
"Sister-in-law, this house is a little old, but we are in a hurry, so this is the only one we can find. If you are not satisfied with this one, I will continue to look for another one. I will try to find one that satisfies you in the next few days." Hong Shuo explained behind her.
"No need, I'm quite satisfied with this one. Please help me rent it, Comrade Hong." She turned around and interrupted him.
When Hong Shuo heard her words, a relieved smile appeared on his face, "Okay, I'll go find the landlord and rent this house now."
The person was very quick in handling the matter. In less than half an hour, the key to the house was in her hands.
After seeing Hong Shuo off, Li Yiyi entered the house, locked the door, and then quickly slipped into the Space Supermarket.
As soon as she entered the supermarket, she headed towards the section selling fresh chicken and finally picked out the fattest old farm hen.
Then she went to the expensive section of the supermarket and picked out a ginseng. She couldn't tell how old it was, but she knew that the ginseng had a strong flavor and was quite old.
Next, she went to other areas of the supermarket to do some shopping. When she came out after paying the bill, she stood in the house with large and small bags of things in her hands.
At around eight or nine in the evening, she walked towards the hospital carrying the chicken soup that had finally been cooked.
After leaving the rental house and passing through a small alley, it was late at night and there were no street lights at that time. Li Yiyi, who was holding a small flashlight, did not see a person squatting at the side of the alley for a moment and was almost tripped by the person's bent knee.
Before she could say anything, the other party apologized desperately, "I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I didn't let you get hurt, did I?"
Li Yiyi heard the voice and realized that the other person was an elderly person. She immediately swallowed back the words that were about to come out of her mouth to blame him and replied kindly, "Don't worry, I'm fine. But uncle, what are you doing here alone at night?"
"I, I don't know what to do. I, I'm useless." As he said this, the old man suddenly started to cry.
Li Yiyi, who originally wanted to leave, heard the crying and suddenly didn't know whether to leave or not. She was a little embarrassed for a moment.
In the end, she still couldn't win over the kindness in her heart, so she stayed and squatted in front of him, "Old man, are you in any trouble?"
"Difficulties, yes, I encountered difficulties. I, I could obviously save my wife, but, but I didn't have the medicine, I couldn't save her, I felt sorry for her, I didn't dare go back to see her, I didn't dare go back to see her." The old man cried like a little child, and cried a little loudly.
Li Yiyi was so anxious because of his loud crying. People who didn't know would think that she was a woman bullying an old man.
"No, sir, you can cry if you want. But please don't cry so loudly. People who don't know might think I'm bullying you. I don't want to take the blame." She pleaded with him.
The crying finally subsided a little, and the old man apologized to her with an embarrassed look on his face, "I'm sorry, comrade."
"It's okay, it's okay, but sir, what kind of medicine are you missing? Maybe I can help you think of a solution." After hesitating for a moment, she still asked a question.
As soon as she finished speaking, the old man suddenly grabbed her arm forcefully, "Is it really okay?"
Li Yiyi hissed. This old man looked quite old, but he was quite strong.
She was about to answer him when she heard him again, "What are you holding?"
Li Yiyi was confused by his sudden change of topic, but she still answered him, "Chicken soup. My husband is in the hospital, so I made chicken soup for him."
“Is it stewed with ginseng?” the old man asked immediately.
Li Yiyi looked at him in surprise and said, "Old man, you have a very good nose. You can smell this."
The old man continued to ask excitedly, "Do you have any more? Do you have any ginseng? Can you give me some? I can exchange things with you. My ancestors were Chinese medicine practitioners. I can exchange them with you for this ginseng."
When Li Yiyi heard this, a smile suddenly appeared on the corner of her mouth. Could this be considered as a pillow given to her when she fell asleep? She was just worrying about where to find a silver needle, and now God gave her this great opportunity.
"I just need something. If you have it, I can exchange it with you for ginseng." She said with a smile.
"What is it? Tell me." the old man asked quickly.
"Silver needles, I want a pair of silver needles, do you have any?" She immediately said what she wanted.
"Yes, I have two sets at home, one set of gold needles and one set of silver needles. If you want them, I will give them to you as long as you give me two ginseng roots."
When Li Yiyi heard his answer, she was shocked. Golden needles? She had only seen this thing in the notebook given to her by Old Hua. It was very precious. The Hua family also had a pair of them, but unfortunately after that incident, the pair of golden needles had disappeared long ago.
"Yes, yes. Then let's meet here in an hour. You take them and wait for me here, and I'll exchange them with you for ginseng." She answered excitedly.
"Okay, I'll go home and get it now. See you here in an hour. Comrade, you can't go back on your word." The old man was still a little worried.
In this era, the two things in his hand are no longer worth much, but other people's ginseng is hard to buy even with money.
"No, I keep my word. See you in an hour." Li Yiyi assured him.
The two separated quickly. Li Yiyi did not go back, but continued walking towards the hospital with the chicken soup.
Fortunately, the hospital is not far from where she lives now, only five minutes' walk away.
