"Oh, is this true?"
A clear and pleasant voice came from behind the curtain.
The old man nodded, stood up and faced Yan Funing: "Miss, please help me testify!"
"The other day in the deep mountains and old forests, this old man was indeed trapped in a trap." Yan Funing smiled lightly and quickly changed her tone, saying to the man behind the curtain, "My husband was so kind as to rescue him, but he kept telling us to leave quickly without even a word of thanks."
As she spoke, she looked at the old man and added, "Old man, my husband doesn't save people easily. I forced him to save you. We didn't save people for any reward, nor did we insist on a thank you. You looked like you were afraid we would ask for money."
The old man said ashamedly: "What the young lady said makes me ashamed."
Yan Funing waved her hand. "It's over, let's not talk about it. I'm here to sell some Ganoderma lucidum today. Can anyone give me an estimate?"
Bei Mo, Ali, and coachman Li were all waiting for her.
She had to sell the Ganoderma lucidum quickly and go out to meet them.
The old man glanced into her basket and asked, "Miss, did you pick this Ganoderma lucidum from the deep mountains and forests?"
Yan Funing smiled and said, "I'm sorry I can't tell you where I picked it."
This old man also went to pick Ganoderma lucidum. So, they will have one more competitor in picking Ganoderma lucidum in the future.
In order to save someone, he unexpectedly saved his opponent.
The old man saw her concern and said with a smile, "Young lady, I don't make a living by picking Ganoderma lucidum." He glanced at the person behind the curtain and lowered his voice, "I went to pick Ganoderma lucidum myself because I hope you can do me a favor. This is to show my sincerity."
Yan Funing nodded slightly and asked, "Could someone please give me an estimate of the price of my Ganoderma lucidum? I'm in a hurry."
The clear and pleasant voice behind the curtain sounded again: "Madame Min."
The old woman immediately stepped forward and said yes respectfully.
She walked over to Yan Funing and took out the Ganoderma lucidum from the backpack: "It's the same red Ganoderma lucidum as last time."
Yan Funing nodded: "Yes, this one has large flowers. Please give me an estimate."
I kept calling her "Auntie", no wonder she was not happy with me.
Most people who come from the capital consider themselves noble and feel that being called "Auntie" is an insult to them.
Nanny Min said, "I'll ask someone to take a look and then set the price."
Yan Funing thought of the room filled with medical books and asked softly, "Can I borrow some medical books?"
Nanny Min glanced at Yan Funing with a sharp gaze: "Miss, you are here to sell Ganoderma lucidum, please be aware of your identity! Medical books are not for everyone to read, and our family's medical books are certainly not likely to be easily lent out!"
Yan Funing said, "If Madam doesn't agree, then so be it. What you said..."
It doesn't sound good.
Nanny Min glanced at her again and was about to take the Ganoderma lucidum out of the Xuanzhu Hall when the young man behind the curtain suddenly spoke: "Young lady, do you know medicine?"
Yan Funing: "I know a little bit."
The young man continued, "Madame Min, bring her a medical book."
There was a flash of obvious surprise in Nanny Min's eyes, and then she lowered her head and eyes and responded respectfully.
Yan Funing nodded: "Thank you, sir. I will return it as soon as possible!"
The young man said, "Next time if you have Ganoderma lucidum to sell, you can take it with you. There's no rush."
About half a cup of tea later, Nanny Min came back with a medical book.
"Although the Ganoderma lucidum is large, there is only one of it, and it is worth eight taels. Is this acceptable to you, young lady?"
Yan Funing nodded: "Accept."
Nanny Min gave her eight taels of silver and the medical book, saying, "Medical books are precious. Please don't dirty or tear them when you read them!"
"I know." Yan Funing put the silver into her purse and carefully examined the cover of the medical book. "This is a very basic one."
Nanny Min was obviously displeased: "Why, how much further do you want to go?"
"It's okay." Yan Funing smiled faintly.
She just took it as a way to consolidate her basic knowledge and memorize the acupuncture points of the human body thoroughly.
He immediately thanked the man behind the curtain again and left Xuanzhu Hall.
As soon as her footsteps left the last gauze curtain of Xuanzhu Hall, Yan Funing heard a cough coming from inside the hall.
Moreover, the trend is getting worse.
It’s really strange, what disease did the man have?
Why didn’t I hear him cough at all in the hall?
Putting aside this doubt, Yan Funing walked quite quickly under the guidance of her maid.
At this moment in the Xuanzhu Hall, Nanny Min hurriedly walked behind the curtain.
"Sir, why are you coughing again?"
The man waved his hands, coughed, and asked the old man outside the curtain in a hoarse voice: "I saved you, why didn't you say a word of thanks?"
"Sir, I don't want to reveal my identity." The old man said, "After they rescued me, my people found me immediately."
At that time, one of the men discovered him, blew the whistle, and the other men gathered together and carried him down the mountain.
The man nodded slowly and coughed again.
Nanny Min said worriedly, "Sir, I'll ask Elder Ding to come over and take a look."
"No need." The man stood up, "I'll go find him."
The old man hurriedly clasped his fists and said, "I would like to ask a favor, young master. When you write home, please say a few good words for me. I am so bold as to ask your father..."
Before he could finish his words, the man interrupted him: "I won't be writing letters home recently, please leave."
The old man nodded: "Yes."
He took two steps back, then mustered up the courage to say, "Young Master is the only connection I can think of. If you write back to the capital, please mention me!"
--
Yan Funing left the house.
Fu Beimo jumped out of the car to meet him. Just as he took the backpack, he heard the gate of the house slam shut.
"Sister-in-law, this house is so strange."
Yan Funing said, "It's mysterious."
The people inside are even more mysterious.
The uncle and his wife sat down on the oxcart, and the car started slowly. Passing by Tong Cheng's blacksmith shop, Yan Funing called out, "Brother Li, stop the car. I have something to talk to Brother Tong about."
"Okay." Coachman Li pulled the reins.
As soon as Yan Funing got off the car, Tong Ya saw her.
"My sister is here." She called to her father in the iron shop, "Daddy, my benefactor sister is here."
Tong Cheng came out upon hearing the noise, and seeing Yan Funing, he greeted her with a smile, "Miss, you're here. I don't have any tea to serve you in this iron shop. I'm sorry to bother you."
Yan Funing smiled faintly and said, "I won't stay any longer. I want you to help me make a dagger." She pulled out a blueprint from her sleeve pocket and said, "The blade should be thinner."
Tong Cheng wiped his hands on his clothes, then took the blueprint and said, "It can be made."
"How much?" Yan Fu opened her purse.
"No money." Tong Cheng said, "Miss, you cured Xiaoya's arm last time, and we haven't given you a thank you gift yet."
"You must pay me. How about this? I'll pay you in a few days when I come to get the dagger."
"Okay, I'll definitely make a beautiful one."
"It doesn't matter whether it's pretty or not. I want something thin and sharp."
At that time, Fu Ciyi was sleeping in the village school. If a wild wolf really came to try to break the door at night, she would stab the wolf with a dagger.
Also, if Fu Minghe dared to come again, she would have a dagger to protect herself.
Tong Cheng put away the blueprint: "Okay, I understand."
"Xiaoya, sister is leaving. I'll come to see you next time."
Yan Funing waved to Tong Ya and sat back on the ox cart.
