Chapter 424 Selling Myself to Bury My Sister



[Who is this person? He's crazy...]

[No, this guy seems to be the one who bumped into me yesterday.]

[Well, after searching everywhere for something, I finally got it. It took a lot of effort!]

Then she saw that her pot had fallen to the ground and all the mushrooms in it were gone...

"Ah!!!! Mushroom thief! You're going to die!"

Shangguan Qingyue went berserk and rushed towards the girl. As soon as he got close to her, the girl fell to the ground.

The little guy was stunned, "No, I haven't touched you yet!"

She squatted down and pointed at the girl with her finger, "Hey, wake up! Don't sleep here!"

"You think you don't have to compensate me for the mushrooms because you fell asleep? You ate my lunch!"

The little guy pouted and said dissatisfiedly, "I'm so hungry. I want to go back to eat. If you don't wake up, I will..."

However, there was no movement on the ground.

Shangguan Qingyue pulled the girl's body towards him, and seeing the scar on her face, he exclaimed, "Sister Zhai?"

[Didn't she fall off a cliff? Why is she here?]

That’s right, the girl is “Zhai Jingxuan” who fell off a cliff and has been missing for a long time!

The little guy scratched his head, [How did she get herself into this state? ]

[Hey, why are her lips all purple? Is she poisoned?]

Thinking of this, Shangguan Qingyue felt uneasy. She wanted to call for help, but there was no one on the mountain. She called out to the people on the ground, but there was no response. She paced back and forth like an ant on a hot pot. After a while, she took a deep breath, puffed up her face, clenched her fists, and said, "I can do this!"

I can do it!

"Sister Zhai, don't be afraid. Yue'er will rescue you and take you down the mountain to see a doctor!"

After saying that, Shangguan Qingyue conjured up a wheeled cart out of thin air, then stepped forward, grabbed "Zhai Jingxuan's" legs with both hands, and dragged her onto the cart with all his might, grimacing. After just dragging one leg, the little guy was so tired that he collapsed on the ground with his tongue hanging out, gasping for air.

[Oh my god, why are there so many little stars in front of me...]

Shangguan Qingyue rested for a while and then dragged the other leg. In this way, he rested for a while, dragged a little, and finally dragged the whole person onto the cart. However, this was just the beginning.

She also wants to pull "Zhai Jingxuan" down the mountain.

After resting enough, the little guy tied the rope in front of the cart to his chubby belly with trembling legs. After working hard for a long time, his belly has become smaller!

[I wouldn’t have come out if I had known…]

[Why hasn’t my mother found me yet…]

[Wow, I’m so tired and hungry…]

The little guy wanted to cry but had no tears.

Until dusk approached, the setting sun melted into gold, and the dim sunlight filled the small town at the foot of the mountain. Chickens crowed and ducks quacked, and a strange sight suddenly appeared on the streets where people were bustling.

A little kid, not even as tall as his knees, was pulling a huge cart with a dead person lying in the back.

The little baby was so tired that his face was sweating and flushed, his two little buns were messed up, and the drawstring had made a deep groove on his soft belly. His pair of little white feet were half squeezed out of the headless embroidered shoes because of excessive force. He looked both pitiful and funny, but passers-by just watched silently and didn't dare to laugh. After all, someone had died!

Shangguan Qingyue was tired again, so she quickly found a step to sit down and rest for a while, and "Zhai Jingxuan" was placed next to her.

Soon, many people gathered around her, looking at her, then at "Zhai Jingxuan", pointing and talking.

Shangguan Qingyue was puzzled. [What are these people doing?]

A young girl came forward, bent down, and said softly to Shangguan Qingyue, "Little kid, you want to sell yourself to bury your sister? This is not okay. You have to..." The girl glanced at the ground, picked up a piece of dry grass, and stuck it behind Shangguan Qingyue's neck, "You have to stick a piece of grass, this is the right way!"

Why do we need to insert grass?

Shangguan Qingyue frowned, his eyes clear and confused.

It makes people around me feel very sad.

"It's so pitiful. Everyone in his family died at such a young age!"

"This little kid is so kind and righteous. He's so young and knows how to sell himself to bury his sister!"

Many people even wiped away their tears. Shangguan Qingyue was already exhausted and didn't bother to pay attention to what these people were saying.

"This girl doll is cute, I like it very much. Why don't we buy it and have it as our daughter?"

"Sure, let's ask her what she thinks first!"

A young woman, perhaps having discussed this with her husband, stepped forward and asked, "Little boy, how much silver do you need?"

"I don't need money. I want to take Sister Zhai to see a doctor. She seems to have been poisoned!"

When they heard that someone was poisoned, the people around them knew what was going on. Mushroom poisoning was not uncommon in Dali. There happened to be a barefoot doctor in the crowd. He stepped out of the crowd and said, "Since it's poisoning, let me take a look!"

The barefoot doctor stepped forward, pulled at Zhai Jingxuan's eyelids, and felt her pulse. After the diagnosis, he breathed a sigh of relief and looked at everyone, saying, "It's not a big deal. Just take a detoxification pill! I happen to have it with me!"

As he spoke, the barefoot doctor reached into his arms, took out a porcelain bottle, poured out a pill from it, and fed it to "Zhai Jingxuan".

"Little baby, you are so lucky to have met a good person!"

Shangguan Qingyue stared blankly, then nodded. The next second, he heard the barefoot doctor say, "I practice medicine to save lives, relying on my chivalrous heart to heal the world. Seeing that you are so young, I don't want to charge you. But this medicine is truly precious. How about this, child? Give me the jade ring on your neck as payment!"

Shangguan Qingyue heard this and looked down at the jade ring on his neck, feeling reluctant to part with it. [This was given to me by my father...]

The little guy thought for a moment and said, "You can take me home, and my mother can give you money!"

The barefoot doctor coughed twice, waved his hand, and said with a smile, "No need to bother. As I said, I practice medicine not for worldly gain. I don't need your mother to give me so much money. Just give me that worthless thing around your neck. I'll give it to my granddaughter to play with when I get home!"

[But...] Shangguan Qingyue felt something was wrong, but she couldn't put her finger on it. She looked at "Zhai Jingxuan" lying on the ground and saw that her lips were indeed looking better. She pursed her lips and said, "Forget it, as long as Sister Zhai can be saved, I'm glad. After all, there are plenty of jade rings like this at home!"

"Then I'll give it to you!" Shangguan Qingyue said, took off the jade ring and handed it to the barefoot doctor, without noticing the greedy glowing eyes of the barefoot doctor and the gradually sinking noises around him.

After getting the jade ring, the barefoot doctor smiled proudly to the people around him.

The crowd suddenly dispersed.
