Chapter 85 Selling Ginseng Pills
After hearing what her aunt said, the village chief's wife didn't dare to cry anymore. She gratefully took the medicine bottle from Nuan Ma, poured out a pill, and stuffed it into the village chief's mouth with great effort.
Just when everyone was waiting with great anticipation to see whether the medicine brought by Nuan Ma would be effective, Nuan Ba asked an acquaintance in the village to go to the town militia to find someone to maintain order, while he hurried to catch up with the village chief's son.
If you ask why Nuan Baba's bicycle is not as fast as the village chief's sons and his friends driving ox carts, it is of course because the paths in their village are full of rocks, and riding a bicycle on them is really, well, bumpy.
When Nuanba arrived, the two groups were already engaged in a fierce battle. The village chief's son, who was leading the charge, had blood on his head. He was now clutching a stone, viciously trying to smash it against the head of the person who had opened his head.
Nuan's father didn't dare to delay. He picked up his hunting rifle and fired a shot into the sky.
"Oh my god! Gun, that guy has a gun! Quick, get down!"
Someone in the crowd shouted, and the villagers who had just been fighting were startled. They instinctively let go of their opponents, hugged their heads, and fell to the ground with fear on their faces.
"Where's your village chief? People from two villages have had their heads chopped off, and your village doesn't even have someone in charge?"
The village chief of Xiaojiang Village was a middle-aged man in his forties. He always crouched at the outermost edge of the crowd, where the people were safest. When the two sides started fighting, he was the first to hide.
Now that Nuan's father had been called, it would be unreasonable to hide any longer. He could only come out from behind the firewood pile with a flattering face and a look of disgrace.
With the hunting rifle to calm the situation, the troublemakers on both sides became quiet.
While Nuanba was understanding the situation with the village chief of Xiaojiang Village, he was waiting for the arrival of reinforcements.
Two hours later, Nuanba finally saw his colleagues.
As an eyewitness, Nuanba went to the town with the villagers to explain the situation.
Back at Nuan Bao's place, the village chief slowly regained consciousness ten minutes after taking the pill. The village chief's wife excitedly hugged Nuan Bao and thanked him profusely, tears streaming down her face.
"Xiaoqin, you are indeed a naughty child. I, your aunt, would like to thank you sincerely on behalf of your uncle! If it weren't for your medicine, your uncle might have..."
At this point, the village chief's wife started crying again.
"Don't cry, auntie. As long as I can wake up, I'm happy. Nothing else matters to me, no one. I'd better take care of my health in the future."
When talking about her husband's health, the village head's wife immediately held Nuan Ma's hand tightly with a pleading look on her face.
"My dear child, can I ask you for a favor? You've seen your uncle's condition. I'm rushing you here today. If your uncle does this again when you're not around, we'll just have to watch him die."
"No, this time my uncle was mad, that's why this happened."
"No, I'm a coward. I really don't dare to joke about your uncle's health!"
The village chief's wife stared at the small porcelain bottle in Nuan Ma's hand with a passionate look. Nuan Ma followed her gaze and immediately understood what the village chief's wife meant.
Receiving his mother's inquiring look, Nuanbao nodded vigorously, indicating that he could sell it.
"Mom, you ate the ginseng pills that Grandpa Qin prepared for Grandma. Doesn't that mean Grandma is gone?"
"Ginseng pills? Those pitch-black pills contain ginseng?"
Ginseng, something she'd never seen before in her life. I heard it's worth a fortune! She wondered how much ginseng was used to make the one pill she just gave the village chief. Ouch, she couldn't stop. Her heart ached.
The grandmother was so distressed that she could hardly speak clearly, and she covered her chest with her hands.
