The crowd dispersed.
"Your Highness, do you want to go back?" Behind the crowd, there was a carriage parked. A servant in a coarse blue cloth coat said to the people in the carriage.
The person in the carriage responded softly.
Chen Jingxi carried the little girl into the carriage.
The boy and Han Yu sat outside.
The little girl was half lying on her.
“Ahem!”
Chen Jingxi checked the little girl's breath and found that her breathing was getting weaker and weaker, and every cough was accompanied by blood gushing out.
"Hurry up, cold rain."
Han Yu heard this and waved his whip.
Chen Jingxi looked down at the little girl and gently wiped the blood from the corner of her mouth with a handkerchief, over and over again.
The little girl opened her eyes with difficulty and looked at Chen Jingxi, "Big brother, I stained your clothes... I'm sorry."
Chen Jingxi quickly shook her head and gently comforted her, "It's okay, dirty clothes can be washed."
After hearing this, the little girl's eyes flashed, "Big brother, you are so kind."
"Big brother, I miss my parents... If I die... will I be able to see them? They say that only when you die... can you see the dead."
Chen Jingxi's heart suddenly tightened, and he shook his head firmly: "No, you won't die."
"But... I want to see my parents... Can I... want to die..."
Chen Jingxi gently stroked the little girl's head and said softly, "No, you must remember that you must live well, so that your parents will be happy. If you die, they will be sad and angry."
The little girl nodded, not quite understanding, "Then I don't want to... die. I don't want... my parents to be angry."
"Yeah, that's good."
The little girl was soon replaced by fatigue, "Big brother, I'm so sleepy, I want to take a nap."
"Don't sleep, I'll tell you a story, okay?"
The little girl nodded slightly.
"A long time ago, there was an Ultraman named Tiga. He said, believe me, you can also become light..."
"Big Brother, do you believe in... light?"
"believe."
"Big brother... I'm so sleepy, can you... listen to me... next time?" Her eyelids gradually became heavy.
Chen Jingxi nodded.
The carriage suddenly stopped, and Han Yu lifted the curtain, "Master, we're here."
As soon as he entered the clinic, the boy shouted anxiously, "Doctor! Doctor! Please save my sister!"
At this time, a white-haired old doctor came out from the inner room tremblingly and saw the little girl covered in blood and dying.
He hurried forward and said, "Oh, why is this child so badly injured? Quick, put her on the bed over there."
After a careful examination, the old doctor shook his head helplessly and sighed, "I'm afraid this child won't survive. Her injuries are too severe, and her internal organs have been damaged..."
When the young man heard this, he was struck by lightning. He suddenly fell to his knees, tightly grasped the old doctor's sleeves with both hands, and begged with a choked voice: "Doctor, please save her! She is my only sister!"
The old doctor looked at the young man, sighed, and said, "Son, it's not that I don't want to save her, it's just that her injuries are too severe."
The boy kowtowed, "Please, please."
The old doctor said helplessly: "It's no use begging me like this, unless..."
"Unless what?" the boy asked eagerly.
The old doctor hesitated for a moment, then said, "Unless we use thousand-year-old ginseng, maybe we can prolong her life for a while."
When the young man heard this, a glimmer of hope suddenly ignited in his eyes. He kowtowed again, saying, "Doctor, please give it to my sister! I'm willing to pay you whatever it costs! I will definitely pay you back later!"
The old doctor didn't say anything. His pharmacy did have a thousand-year-old ginseng, but he himself was reluctant to use it.
How could I bear to use it on a beggar?
The medicine boy beside him could not help but sneer: "You are a beggar, let alone a thousand-year-old ginseng, you can't even afford a hundred-year-old one."
"I... Doctor, please give it to my sister first. I will definitely find a way to pay you back."
The medicine boy continued, "Just this one hundred-year-old ginseng costs five hundred taels of silver, and this thousand-year-old... Humph, with someone like you, even if I sold you I still wouldn't be able to pay it back!"
When the young man heard this, his face turned pale as paper in an instant.
He bit his lips hard to prevent his tears from flowing.
Seeing this, Chen Jingxi said, "Old sir, I'll buy your thousand-year-old ginseng."
Upon hearing this, the old doctor's eyes flashed with surprise. He confirmed again, "Sir, this thousand-year-old ginseng of mine is not cheap. Are you sure you want to buy it?"
Chen Jingxi nodded and said, "Name your price."
The old doctor pondered for a moment and said slowly, "Young Master, this thousand-year-old ginseng is precious. This girl is seriously injured. Using it will only prolong her life for a while. It's not worth it."
"Old man, isn't this medicine used to save lives?"
The old doctor sighed, "Since you are so generous, I will not say any more. This thousand-year-old ginseng is worth five thousand taels of silver."
"Okay." Chen Jingxi agreed without thinking.
The old doctor looked at her in surprise, secretly admiring his magnanimity and courage.
Chen Jingxi immediately ordered: "Han Yu, give me the money."
Han Yu responded by taking out a stack of silver bills from his bosom and handing it to the old doctor.
The old doctor took the banknote, confirmed it was correct, and quickly told the medicine boy to get the thousand-year-old ginseng.
Upon seeing this, the young man suddenly knelt on the ground and kowtowed three times to Chen Jingxi: "Master, your great kindness and virtue are beyond my comprehension! I will be at your disposal for the rest of my life!"
