Chapter 401: Golden Jade Leaf
Doctor Wang's beard trembled with excitement and his tears fell.
When the people around saw it, they were all shocked.
Even though they didn't know what the thousand-year-old ginseng fruit was, they knew it was definitely not an ordinary item after seeing Doctor Wang's expression.
Therefore, the eyes looking at the thousand-year-old ginseng fruit were filled with a hint of eagerness and envy.
At this time, no one treated Shen Guo as a child anymore.
Although, this smiling-looking ginseng fruit looks more like a child.
"Doctor Wang, please stop crying. Can you tell me what this is?" The village chief couldn't help but ask, "What do you mean by 'Thousand-Year Ginseng Fruit'? Is it a fruit? But this thing has arms, legs, and a head..."
"Hmph! If it has no arms, legs, or head, how can it still be called a ten-thousand-year-old ginseng fruit?" Doctor Wang wiped away his tears of excitement and glared at the village chief with a look that said, "You are just an ordinary person." He said, "Without ten thousand years of life, how can it grow all its limbs and facial features?"
The village chief was despised, but he didn't mind at all.
After hearing what Doctor Wang said, he asked in shock, "Are you saying this thing has been growing for ten thousand years?"
At the end of his speech, the village chief raised his voice and expressed the thoughts of everyone.
"Of course!" Doctor Wang said proudly.
It was as if he had grown ten thousand years older.
village head,"……"
Others, “…”
They all took a breath.
"It took ten thousand years to grow like this? How come it's harder for a child to grow?" someone said in surprise.
Doctor Wang, “…”
Doctor Wang looked at the person who spoke with a sharp gaze, as if he was going to teach this ignorant fool a lesson.
Then, I discovered——
The person who spoke was - Old Man Su.
Doctor Wang, “…”
The words were about to come out of his mouth, but he choked back.
There was no way, Old Man Su was still holding little Tangbao in his arms.
Doctor Wang's fierce eyes met the innocent and clear eyes of little Tangbao.
Then, Doctor Wang not only swallowed the words of instruction, but also lost his momentum in lecturing.
Would the daughter be happy if her father was scolded in front of her?
Although, this girl was the one he designated as his disciple.
Old Man Su was not stupid. When he saw Doctor Wang's look as if he wanted to teach him a lesson, he knew he had said the wrong thing.
"Well, hehe... I just said it casually." Old Man Su looked at Doctor Wang and said embarrassedly: "After all, this is picked by my daughter..."
Doctor Wang, “…”
Why does this sentence feel so heartbreaking?
Doctor Wang glanced at Old Man Su dimly.
You don't need to remind us, we all know it.
Are you sure you're not saying this to show off?
"Fuya..." Doctor Wang called out with deep emotion, then with a pious attitude, he held up the thousand-year-old ginseng fruit with trembling hands and asked, "Where did you pick this thousand-year-old ginseng fruit?"
Most importantly – is there any more?
After hearing what Doctor Wang said, Little Tangbao said obediently, "I just happened to find it, and I didn't pick it. It just fell into my basket by itself."
Doctor Wang, "...fell? Into the basket?"
Why do I feel that this sentence is more heartbreaking?
Why doesn’t it fall into your own basket?
Even if you don't have a basket, you still have to carry a medicine basket, right?
Doctor Wang didn't want to admit that he was jealous.
Moreover, it is the kind of acid that comes from the vinegar jar that has been soaked in thousand-year-old vinegar.
Not only Doctor Wang was jealous, but everyone else was jealous too.
However, they have long been numb to it.
Someone saw Doctor Wang's state and kindly advised him, "Doctor Wang, don't compare yourself to our Fu Ya. You don't have the same good fortune as our Fu Ya."
So, please accept my condolences.
Doctor Wang, “…”
Instead of being comforted, I felt like I was stabbed again.
Doctor Wang looked at Xiao Tangbao eagerly and finally asked what was in his heart.
"Fuya... where did you meet him? Are there any more?"
Little Tangbao felt a little reluctant, broke Doctor Wang's fantasy, and shook his head.
"No more, just this one."
Doctor Wang, “…”
The burning hope was poured with a bucket of cold water.
"Have you looked carefully? Could it be that the leaves are too dense, and there is something hidden inside? How about we... take another look?" Doctor Wang said unwillingly.
Little Sugar Baby, "..."
The corners of his mouth twitched.
Although I couldn't bear it, I still said honestly, "It's really gone. All the leaves on the tree have fallen off. Now it's bare and there's nothing to hide."
After saying that, he pointed to a few golden leaves in the small basket.
"Look, those are the last few leaves that have fallen from the tree."
Of course, these were the only few leaves left when she discovered them.
Now, there is not a single leaf on the tree.
It was only then that Doctor Wang noticed the golden leaves in the small basket.
"Could this be... the Golden Jade Leaf?" Doctor Wang's pupils shrank.
At the Su family, Doctor Wang was very reluctant to leave. He carefully put down the thousand-year-old ginseng fruit and picked up a leaf.
The veins of the leaves are clear, but there is a faint golden light flowing through them, as if they are alive.
Moreover, it feels cool to the touch, like cold jade.
Doctor Wang looked again and again.
"So... So the leaves on the thousand-year-old ginseng fruit tree are actually golden jade leaves..."
Doctor Wang muttered to himself, his tone changing from shock to confusion and finally to realization.
Although he had seen records about the thousand-year-old ginseng fruit and the golden jade leaf in medical books, he did not know that the two came from the same tree.
For a moment, Doctor Wang was filled with emotion.
Look at the thousand-year-old ginseng fruit and then look at the golden jade leaf.
If Master saw these things, he would surely be very happy.
My master once said that if I could see some legendary holy medicine with my own eyes in my lifetime, I would die with peace of mind.
Among them are the thousand-year-old ginseng fruit and the golden jade leaf.
Alas! I don’t know where Master is.
Doctor Wang sighed, put down the golden jade leaf, and looked at the tree roots in the small basket.
Although it was a dirty tree root, Doctor Wang did not dare to underestimate it.
Who made the tree root end up in Little Tangbao's basket?
"Is this... the root of a dragon?" Doctor Wang muttered, "It doesn't look like it... Could it be a black dragon's beard... It doesn't look like it either..."
Doctor Wang held a small piece of tree root as if it were a treasure, looked at it left and right, nodded sometimes, and shook his head sometimes.
His brows were tightly furrowed, as if he was racking his brains but couldn't figure it out.
When the others saw Doctor Wang's expression, they all held their breath and did not dare to disturb him.
At the same time, he stared at the tree root in Doctor Wang's hand with burning eyes, waiting for Doctor Wang to tell him what kind of treasure it was.
Although, no matter how they looked at it, they felt that it was just a small piece of ordinary tree root.
Seeing this, Little Tangbao helplessly reminded, "Grandpa Wang, this is a tree root. I saw that the shape of this tree root is a bit like Dabai, so I thought of picking it up and asking Fourth Brother to carve it into the shape of Dabai as a decorative ornament."
Doctor Wang, “…”
I felt the tree root in my hand, and suddenly it didn't smell good anymore.
Others, “…”
This is indeed a tree root.
