Chapter 229: Resurrection Grass
"Then Manager Liu, please wait a minute. I'll go call our master." Uncle Wang knew at a glance that Manager Liu had something urgent to do and didn't dare to delay him.
"Go quickly, go quickly." After saying this, Shopkeeper Liu sat down on the steps without caring about his image.
Uncle Wang didn't dare to delay and hurried in to call Gu Yan.
"Master, master, wake up quickly, Manager Liu is here." Uncle Wang shouted anxiously outside the window.
Li Wanqing woke up first. She pushed Gu Yan and said, "Husband, wake up."
Gu Yan also woke up: "Wife, I'll go out and take a look."
"What's the matter? Why aren't you sleeping in the middle of the night?" Gu Yan impatiently put on his clothes and came out.
"Master, it's Manager Liu who's here. He looks very anxious." Uncle Wang explained.
"Manager Liu? Why is he here in the middle of the night?" Gu Yan said puzzledly.
"Uncle Liu, why are you here in the middle of the night? Did something happen?" Gu Yan saw that Manager Liu had disheveled hair and looked anxious, so he asked quickly.
"Gu boy, how was your trip to the mountains this time? Did you find the resurrection grass?" Shopkeeper Liu did not answer Gu Yan's question, but grabbed Gu Yan's sleeve and asked.
"What happened, Uncle Liu? Don't be anxious, tell me slowly." Gu Yan brought Manager Liu to the living room.
Uncle Wang also poured some water over.
“Alas, someone from the capital has come, saying that the patient’s condition has worsened and it will be too late if we can’t find the Resurrection Grass.
Moreover, the noble suddenly took action and sent people to arrest my cousin and put him in jail. Now the family is in chaos.
Qidong had to leave at dawn because he had to go back to take charge of the situation.
I came here to see if you guys are back, and thank God, you are back.
"I just wonder if you found the Resurrection Grass?" Shopkeeper Liu asked cautiously, fearing he might hear bad news.
"Then God is really helping you. We have indeed found another resurrection grass this time.
We found it and rushed back immediately. We didn't get home until evening, thinking we'd send it to you tomorrow." Gu Yan couldn't help but sigh at the Liu family's good luck.
If this had happened a day earlier, they wouldn't have come back even if they had come looking for them.
"Really? Did you really find it?" Shopkeeper Liu's voice trembled with excitement.
"Yes, I found it." Gu Yan nodded affirmatively.
"Okay... okay, it's God's will that our Liu family will not be destroyed." Shopkeeper Liu burst into tears.
"Thank you, young man Gu. You are the benefactor of our Liu family. You have saved more than a hundred people in our Liu family." Shopkeeper Liu said as he was about to kneel down to Gu Yan.
Gu Yan was frightened and stood up quickly, pulling Manager Liu up.
"Uncle Liu, what are you doing? Isn't this shortening my life?" Gu Yan said.
"Gu boy, you saved all of our Liu family members, and from now on you will be our Liu family's benefactor.
"If you have any questions in the future, just tell us. As long as our Liu family can do it, we will definitely not refuse." Shopkeeper Liu made a promise.
"Well, what kind of friendship do we have? It's too far-fetched to talk about this.
The herb of resurrection is in the inner room. I'll get it for you.
Since the matter is urgent, I won't keep you any longer." Gu Yan said.
"OK,"
"Pa pa pa" At this moment, the gate of the courtyard was knocked again.
After a while, Liu Qidong came in following Uncle Wang.
"Uncle, how is it? Did Brother Gu find the resurrection grass?" Liu Qidong asked before he could catch his breath.
"Found it, found it, God will not destroy our Liu family." Shopkeeper Liu said excitedly to his nephew.
"Really found it? That's great, that's great." Liu Qidong turned around on the ground happily.
"Where are the things? Where is the Resurrection Grass? I'll take the things and leave now." Liu Qidong looked around but didn't see any trace of the Resurrection Grass.
"Gu kid, go get it. Qidong, the resurrection grass is not easy to grow. It will take several days to get to the capital even if you gallop.
You must be extra careful on the road. The herb is delicate and will die quickly once it leaves its familiar environment.
Moreover, the Huanyang grass cannot be frozen, cannot be hot, cannot be lacking water, and cannot be overwatered.
You must be extremely careful on your way here." Shopkeeper Liu warned carefully.
"This... I'm afraid I can't do it. Otherwise, cousin, you should go with me. I'm afraid I won't be able to support myself along the way." Liu Qidong looked scared.
"I……."
Just as Manager Liu was about to answer, Gu Yan came out with a flowerpot.
"Uncle Liu, I've brought it. You..." Gu Yan came out with a flowerpot in his hand.
In the flowerpot was a plant about three inches tall, with slender leaves that looked a bit like orchid leaves. It was emerald green throughout.
Before Gu Yan could finish his words, Liu Qidong took two steps forward and snatched the flowerpot.
The flowerpot in his hand was snatched away, and Gu Yan subconsciously wanted to take it back. Before he could do anything, he heard someone talking, and then he realized that it was Liu Qidong.
"Is this the resurrection grass? Why does it look like an orchid?" Liu Qidong looked at the flowerpot in his hand curiously.
"Let me take a look, let me take a look." Shopkeeper Liu also came over.
"Yes, it's the Resurrection Grass." Shopkeeper Liu said excitedly.
"So this is the Resurrection Grass," Liu Qidong murmured softly as he looked at it curiously.
Gu Yan ignored them and sat down to drink water, letting them get excited to their heart's content.
However, Manager Liu and Liu Qidong were knowledgeable people after all, and they calmed down after being excited for a while.
"Brother Gu, thank you. You saved our family. I am grateful to you." Liu Qidong said gratefully.
"It's nothing, as long as I can help you." Gu Yan said indifferently.
"Brother Gu, I won't say anything more. Our Liu family owes you a favor for this matter.
"From now on, if there's anything we can do, we will never refuse," Liu Qidong said solemnly.
Liu Qidong's promise is much more important than that of Manager Liu.
After all, Liu Qidong is the young master of Dejitang and will be the head of the Liu family in the future.
His favor is of great value.
"Brother Gu, this is fifty thousand taels of silver. We agreed on it. Please accept it.
I came in a hurry this time, so I only brought this much. Please don't think it's too little." Liu Qidong took out the banknotes from his sleeve and placed them on the table.
"Okay, then I'll accept it." Gu Yan was not polite. They had worked so hard in the mountains for more than a month, and they deserved some hard-earned money.
And this was indeed what was agreed upon, and he felt at ease taking it.
Liu Qidong was in a hurry to return to the capital, so he didn't receive any treatment here. He took the Resurrection Grass and left with Manager Liu.
Gu Yan took the banknote back and gave it to Li Wanqing.
"Wife, this is a silver note worth fifty thousand taels. Keep it." Gu Yan handed over the silver note as soon as he entered the house.
"Well, one blade of grass in exchange for fifty thousand taels of silver is really worth it.
Think about all the Resurrection Grass in my space. If I take it all out, how many banknotes can I exchange for it?" Li Wanqing looked at the banknotes with a greedy look.
Of course, Li Wanqing just said that. The reason why the Resurrection Grass is so valuable is because it is rare.
If Li Wanqing took out everything in her space, there would be so many things that they wouldn't be so valuable.
