The audience standing by with bated breath, their jaws dropped in shock. What were they seeing?
This tall and thin handsome young man in front of me actually subdued the old ox with his bare hands!
But no matter what, this is a good thing. He not only saved everyone, but also saved himself!
Everyone finally put their minds at ease and cast admiring glances at Gu Chi. Someone didn't know who started it, but warm applause broke out.
Only Gu Chi lowered his head, looking at the innocent little ball in his arms, and began to doubt his life.
"Oh my god!" The uncle sitting on the ox cart looked at the old ox that suddenly became quiet with his eyes wide open. Could this young man in front of him be the legendary strongman?
"Young man, you are amazing! Even with decades of experience, I can't control it, but you can do it with just a wave of your hand."
"Yes, yes, thanks to you, young man. If it weren't for you, we wouldn't know what to do." The people who were still frightened by the old ox also echoed.
"Thank you for saving us today, young man."
"Thanks……"
Gu Chi glanced guiltily at the youngster standing nearby, chatting with the old cow. In fact, he hadn't put in any effort at all...
Even a mad old cow can be tamed easily. Could this kid really have some special abilities?
"Handsome brother, everyone is praising us!"
The cub blinked his big eyes excitedly and said happily. Xiaoyu glanced at Gu Chi secretly, feeling happy in her heart. The handsome brother just hugged her!
Gu Chi looked at the incredibly beautiful cub in front of him, and his heart itched. He really wanted to touch it. Thinking of the unbelievable scene just now, he asked half-doubtfully, "Have I seen you before?"
"I've seen it. Xiaoyu and Xiaoji rescued my brother from the cliff at Lingshan. My brother is so stupid..."
Xiaoyu nodded her head, bent her chubby little fingers, and said seriously, "But why did the handsome brother cover his mouth?"
If Gu Chi didn't cover her mouth, they would be captured and sent to the laboratory for research in the next second! How could such a strange ability exist in the world? Children really have rich imaginations.
"Young man, thank you so much. If it weren't for you, I don't know how much trouble this old cow would have caused today."
The old man finally recovered from the thrilling scene just now. He was still a little scared and hurriedly thanked Gu Chi in front of him.
Gu Chi was not used to people thanking him, and for a moment he didn't know how to react. There was a hint of embarrassment on his cold face.
There were also some impatient voices among the crowd standing by, and everyone seemed to blame all the faults on the weathered old man in front of them. The old man also lowered his head and apologized repeatedly, "I'm sorry to cause trouble to everyone. I didn't know this old ox would get into trouble..."
Gu Chi frowned unconsciously when he saw this scene. Just as he was about to speak, the little dumpling beside him spoke first, "Grandpa, Niu Niu didn't mean to cause trouble. Niu Niu told me that he was hungry and had never seen so many people before. He was scared and ran so fast!"
"Don't listen to her nonsense. You can't take children's words seriously." After hearing Xiaoyu's words, Gu Chi's brows twitched violently. He quickly covered her mouth and tried to mediate.
The old man lowered his head with a look of guilt, his voice full of weathering. "This old cow has suffered a lot with me. I brought my wife out from the mountains to see a doctor. It has been sleeping in the open air with us for so many days and has never had a good meal. I have been busy treating my wife's illness these days and have no time to feed it."
The old cow stayed aside obediently, and after listening to their words, it mooed at the right time, with tears flashing in its big eyes, as if it was telling about its grievances.
Gu Chi: “…”
Xiaoyu on the side was also struggling. Why did her brother cover his mouth again? It was obvious that what Xiaoyu said was true. Niu Niu was really hungry!
Only then did Gu Chi discover that there was a small wooden house tied behind the old ox, and a skinny old man was sleeping inside. Although the place was small, it was clean and tidy. It was obvious that he was a respectable person who loved cleanliness.
"My wife is sick. The doctor said it's a tumor or something. It'll cost a lot of money. The money I brought from home has already been used up. I wanted to go to a place with more people to sell some mountain products, but..." The old man looked guiltily at his skinny wife who was tortured by the disease, and his old face was full of worry.
"It's going to be fine. It's going to be fine."
Although Gu Chi knew that these words would have no effect, at least they could give the old man some comfort.
The group of people who were making sarcastic remarks just now gradually showed shame on their faces. They didn't expect things to be like this. It turned out that this old man and his wife had walked a long way to get here, but they seemed to have hurt him.
"Grandpa, if brother says it's okay, then it will be okay. Even though brother is a little unlucky, he won't lie." Xiaoyu also nodded vigorously in agreement.
Gu Chi: “…”
If possible, Gu Chi really wanted to cover the mouth of the short guy standing next to him again. Why did he choose to poke at people's hearts?
Gu Chi searched his pockets and found only a few hundred-yuan bills. His eyes darkened. "Old man, take this money. Just treat it as an emergency."
Seeing this, everyone took out the change in their pockets and rushed to hand it to the old man, "Grandpa, this is a little gift from me, please take it for emergency use."
"And mine, Grandpa misunderstood you just now, I'm really sorry."
"This is mine..."
"And mine."
Xiaoyu looked at everyone, led by her brother, taking out colorful paper and giving it to the old man. She was so happy that she glanced at her brother secretly.
I smiled and clapped my hands, saying that this handsome brother is really awesome!
The old man looked at the hundred-dollar bills that everyone stuffed into his hands, feeling somewhat flattered. "Thank you all for your kindness. I appreciate it, but I can't take your money. It's not easy for everyone to earn money. Although I'm old, I have hands and feet and can earn money myself. I don't want your money."
"Old man, we're not giving you this money for free. Let's consider it as buying your mountain products. Is that okay with you?"
Gu Chi knew that if the old man didn't pay something, he would never take the money. After thinking about it, he finally came up with this idea. Everyone nodded in agreement.
"The merchants who bought these things from me said they were not worth much money. You are giving too much." The old man stammered, tears glistening in his eyes.
"Just assume we've bought them all. Mountain products are organic foods and are very valuable here."
Gu Chi glanced at his watch. The audition time was almost up. He couldn't delay any longer. He had to deal with the matter at hand quickly.
The old man thanked Gu Chi repeatedly with tears of gratitude, and carefully took out the mountain products from his big backpack and placed them all in front of Gu Chi.
"These are all I brought out for now. I have more at home. I dug these up in the mountains behind me. They are definitely genuine mountain products."
Gu Chi looked at the mountain products lined up in front of him and felt that they looked familiar, but he couldn't remember where he had seen them.
"These are called groundroot grass in our area. Whenever people have a headache or a fever, they dig them up, soak them in water, and drink it. They feel refreshed the next day. They're also very effective for broken bones and bone hyperplasia. But the merchant who came to buy them said these herbs are worthless and only want twenty yuan each. You should buy them at that price."
No one has ever seen what these are, so when the old man said they had miraculous effects, we just took it casually. They are just herbal medicines, so how can they have any great therapeutic effects? They are just bought to give the old man peace of mind.
Everyone cheered and spoke one after another, fearing that if they were too slow to speak up, this magical herb that could cure all diseases would be gone.
"Ten thousand yuan, I'll cover it all!"
A strong and hoarse voice cut through the noise in the crowd, and with a click, a stack of red banknotes fell into the old man's hand. A middle-aged man wearing a leather jacket and black sunglasses stood in front of everyone.
It took him a lot of effort to finally find the old man. Fortunately, he hadn't sold these things yet.
The previous Dragon God Grass was in short supply on the black market, but I couldn't find him when I went there again this time. After asking around, I found out that the old man had already entered the city.
Seeing how generous he was, everyone secretly sighed that he was such a kind-hearted person, but at the same time, they were afraid that the old man would refuse, so they secretly reminded him, "Young man, these..."
"Whoever has more money has the right to speak. This place is mine, so don't move." The man looked at the people around him with disdain, and deliberately shook the thick gold ring on his finger, secretly showing off his wealth.
This was not pleasant to hear. What did it mean that only those with more money had the right to speak? Everyone frowned when they heard this.
The man pushed up his sunglasses, but he couldn't hide the greed in his eyes. If he saw correctly, these dozens of roots in front of him were much more precious than the Dragon God Grass that the old man sold to him a few days ago.
It is rumored that Dragon God Grass is an ancient magical medicine. Taking its rhizome and making it into an elixir can make one immortal. But in fact, it is indeed a miraculous medicinal herb. Some medical experts even say that it has miraculous effects on bone repair and the re-development of bones. It can also promote blood circulation and remove blood stasis, and treat various rheumatic bone pains.
But this legendary elixir had become extinct hundreds of years ago, and he had only seen it occasionally in medical books.
Unexpectedly, one day when he was out for an outing, he saw the old man selling them on the street. He bought a few and made more than 100,000 yuan in one go. From then on, he made a fortune from this and became a well-known figure in the black market.
I didn't expect that this old man still had a treasure hidden in the bottom of the box. Such a thick Dragon God Grass would take at least a hundred years to grow. Dozens of Dragon God Grass that are thicker than his thumb must be worth at least a million, right?
When the time comes to sell it, he can make a million or eight hundred thousand just by doing nothing. Just thinking about it makes him excited.
Gu Chi, standing by, saw clearly the cunning and greedy look hidden behind his sunglasses. Xiaoyu also tugged at the corner of his clothes and whispered, "Brother, this uncle has a foul smell."
After saying that, Xiaoyu deliberately covered her nose and made an uncomfortable expression.
"Brother, Cao Cao said it's called Dragon God Grass. It has seen this uncle, and all its friends were bought by this uncle." Xiaoyu squatted beside a row of herbs, supporting his little head.
This uncle was so mean. He bought so many friends with so little colorful paper for the old man. Xiaoyu stared at the man angrily and clenched her fists silently.
Xiaoyu must protect the Caocaos and prevent them from being taken away by the bad uncle!
