Finally, he took out the gauze and the packed powder;
"This is an external wound medicine. It can be applied for about ten days. Once the wound scars over, it's fine..."
Without waiting for the old man to move, Dongzi wiped his tears and took the various medicines with trembling hands excitedly;
“Thank you, sister…!”
He bowed deeply to Ruan Mengmeng;
Ruan Mengmeng moved aside and helped him.
After thanking her, he ran to the bedroom where his grandmother was lying with a bunch of medicine and shouted excitedly;
"Grandma, you are saved! My sister brought us a lot of medicine..."
The old lady on the bed struggled to get up after hearing Dongzi's words;
But her leg hurt so much! The slightest movement would tear the wound; she frowned and looked towards the door;
"Slow down, Dongzi! Run slower and don't fall..."
"Grandma, don't move! I'll apply some medicine to you now! It's anti-inflammatory and antipyretic! After you take it, you'll be well again soon..."
Dongzi explained carefully as he took out the medicine;
"Okay, okay... Did you thank me?"
Before Dongzi could say anything, the three people outside the house entered the house under the guidance of the old man;
The old lady saw Ruan Mengmeng and her brother again. She had just heard Dongzi say that it was the medicine given by someone else.
Her eyes flushed with gratitude for a moment, and she choked and stammered;
"Comrade...comrade, this...this...our family really doesn't know how to thank you..."
"Yes, comrade, thank you so much..."
The old man behind also wiped his tears quietly and echoed;
"You're welcome! You'll be fine soon if you take the medicine and change the dressings on time!"
Ruan Mengmeng was a cold person, unable to say anything sentimental, she just gave a warning;
Then, they talked for a while.
Dongzi applied medicine to his grandmother and poured her some water, letting her take anti-inflammatory and fever-reducing medicine;
Several people returned to the side room;
"How did you take these things away...?"
The old man glanced at the more than one hundred pieces of porcelain in the room and frowned, feeling a little worried about the siblings;
These porcelains are heavy and easily bumped and broken if not handled with care.
"Don't worry, sir! My people are nearby to pick us up! All we have to do is pack it up and move it out!"
Ruan Mengmeng found an excuse to fool the old man.
After all, the old man is also worried about her and doing it for her own good.
"Oh oh oh...Is that so? That's fine! Dongzi and I will also help to install..."
After that, the two of them quickly took the bag from Ruan Zilong and carefully put the porcelain into it one by one;
"Little brother, you help me pack the porcelain here! I'll ship it out..."
Ruan Mengmeng once again warned Ruan Zilong;
“Okay, sis…!”
Knowing that his sister was trying to trick this family, Ruan Zilong nodded in agreement without saying anything.
Silently taking out the bag, he began to carefully fill it with porcelain;
When the two bags were full, Ruan Mengmeng took out a piece of rag and tied the mouth of the bag;
Then he put a thick layer of weeds on the cart and carefully loaded the bag on it; then he pulled the cart out the door;
Dongzi and his grandson, who had wanted to help with the transportation, shut up when they saw this.
Now these porcelains have been exchanged for Ruan Mengmeng. What if they break them out of kindness?
Just help me install it honestly...
Ruan Mengmeng went out and quickly pushed the car into the nearby woods;
After sensing that there was no one around, he released his spiritual energy to wrap around the two bags, and instantly the bags disappeared.
After collecting the things, she turned around without wasting a moment and went back to continue carrying them out;
Ruan Mengmeng made four trips in the same way and finally collected almost all the porcelain he had exchanged.
After finishing these, she put away the cart, and the siblings said goodbye to the old man and Dongzi;
I left the old man's house and headed to the next address;
The second family lived in the village behind the hospital, an area Ruan Mengmeng was quite familiar with;
It didn't take the brother and sister long to find the spot;
Ruan Mengmeng didn't look carefully at this seller at the time;
Now I found out that she was actually a woman in her thirties;
She was short, dark-skinned, and had a slight limp in one leg; she walked with a crooked gait.
When he saw the Ruan siblings, he also looked confused.
"Excuse me? What can I do for you?"
The woman wrinkled and asked;
She had just divorced her husband and was now living alone in a dilapidated house;
The items to be sold are quite mixed, including old items, porcelain, and scrolls...
As a woman, it is not safe for her to keep these things in her hands. If they are discovered by someone with ulterior motives, it will be a disaster for her.
Find someone to take charge of everything sooner so you can feel at ease sooner.
Ruan Mengmeng took out the note from her pocket and handed it over;
"I was the one who was supposed to pick up the things that day..."
Although the woman was puzzled, she still took the note, glanced at it and then looked at the siblings, lowering her voice and saying;
"Come in and tell me..."
After that, he let the siblings in;
After the siblings entered, the woman cautiously looked behind them;
When he found that no one was following him, he immediately closed the door.
"Oh! Now I'm afraid of being reported. There's nothing I can do!"
The woman explained to herself and sighed;
The woman led the two men to the back of the yard;
When she reached the backyard, she approached a pile of firewood in the corner;
There was a tangle of weeds covering the ground;
The woman pushed aside the weeds, revealing a layer of black oilcloth underneath;
She walked aside and pulled up a corner of the oilcloth with a "whoosh" sound;
Amidst the flying grass and dust, several large chests appeared in the pit below;
The Ruan siblings standing nearby took a few steps back from being choked, and quickly covered their mouths and noses.
Without caring too much about waiting for the dust to settle, the woman stepped forward, squatted down, and opened the lids of the boxes one by one;
Two boxes of exquisite porcelain, two boxes of neatly stacked scrolls;
The last two boxes contained miscellaneous jade items, books, scrolls, and everything else...
Ruan Mengmeng went forward and picked up each item to admire. They were all good and well preserved.
After seeing enough, she put down what she was holding and looked at the woman and asked;
"How are you going to exchange it? Money or something...?"
The woman said without thinking for a second;
"I don't want money, I want food! I want 150 kilograms of coarse grains and 30 kilograms of fine grains. If you have meat, it would be best if you could also exchange it for some..."
I haven't eaten meat for a long time. Life is so hard without any oil or water in my stomach!
Now many people cannot buy food and meat even if they have money, because there is a great shortage of bills;
It would be better to ask for it as food directly, since it won’t spoil anyway.
Then hide it and eat it slowly, and you will never be hungry again.
Ruan Mengmeng considered that the woman really didn't want much, so she didn't bargain any further and nodded in agreement;
"Okay, I'll give you 150 kilograms of coarse grains, white flour and rice as fine grains, and three kilograms of pork. What do you think?"
