Liu Dalin drove the cart directly to the entrance of Nanfeng medical center. When the old man and his delegation neared the hospital, the staff in the medical center recognized them at a glance, and someone immediately ran to the inner hall to inform Doctor Hu.
They were really impressed by the old man, who recovered when he originally was a dying patient, gasping for his last breath. His case was the very first in Nanfeng medical center.
When the three entered the medical hall, Dr. Hu also came out. At the sight of Grandpa Liu"s radiant face, he smiled, “Mr. Liu, you seem to be in good spirits. You must have recovered well during this period.”
As he spoke, he motioned for Grandpa Liu to sit down on a stool in the hall and then he probed his hand to diagnose his pulse.
For a second, he gave Liu Yusheng a quick meaningful glance.
“Hahaha, it"s because of Doctor Hu"s blessings. These recent days have indeed been a good period for recovery. The vitality on my head has also been ample. I can eat and drink, and sleep until dawn,” The old man shared happily, not worried about the outcome of the medical consultation.
He could feel that there"s really no discomfort in his body.
Liu Dalin on the other hand looked more nervous than the patient.
It wasn"t until he heard Doctor Hu saying that his father was in good health, that there were no remaining symptoms, and that even some of the diseases acc.u.mulated overtime have disappeared, did he finally put down his heart.
“By the way, Dr. Hu, the family went up the mountains yesterday and blindly picked a medicinal herb. Do you buy them here?” With that, Liu Dalin took out a cloth bag from his arms and uncovered it mindfully.
At first, Doctor Hu thought that it was but an ordinary medicinal herb. There are also farmers who would visit the medical center weekly when they had picked some herbs and sold them for living, and he would buy them for what they"re worth.
The whole of the Liu Family somehow has captured his eyes, so as long as it"s not a worthless herb, he"s thinking of buying it and giving them a helping hand.
But when the fabric was finally bared and the medicinal herb inside was out in the open, Doctor Hu opened his eyes widened as he exclaimed, “Ganoderma!”
He picked the Ganoderma lucidum without delay and examined it in front of his eyes. It is indeed Ganoderma lucidum. And it"s medicinal flavor is rich. It"s also bright in color, an excellent quality!
“Let"s talk in the inner hall.”
After hearing that, Liu Dalin and Grandpa Liu looked at each other and followed him inside excitedly.
At the inner hall, Dr. Hu checked the ganoderma again and said, “This ganoderma is of excellent quality. If it is a century-old ganoderma, it would sell for a few hundred taels of silver, but your pick is only about 50 years old, so the price is much lower. I"ll give you 42 taels. This price absolutely doesn"t cheat neither old nor young. If you take it to the county seat, the same price will be offered by the City Medical Center. What do you say?”
Four, 42?
Liu Dalin and Grandpa Liu were once again overcome by excitement. This price has greatly exceeded their estimates.
42 taels of silver is a huge sum for farmers.
Although they have no knowledge of medicinal herbs, Doctor Hu"s reputation in the town has always been honorable, and they believe that he wouldn"t pit them in this regard.
Liu Yusheng also nodded silently. Her previous estimate was around 32 taels. Doctor Hu" offer of 42 was indeed a high price.
After all, ganoderma lucidum is no better than ginseng, and the age is not too long.
Grandpa Liu finally called the shots on this auction, “Okay, sold!”
Until they walked out of the gates of the medical center, they were still over the moon
This just was entirely unbelievable!
“Grandpa, buy, eat meat!” Liu Yusheng opened her little mouth, her eyes bent in a smile.
“Okay, Nannan wants to eat, so let"s buy!”
The old man was on cloud nine. With Liu Yusheng, they started sweeping the streets. At the end of the day, they not only bought pork, wine, candy, cloth to sew clothes, but also ink, pens and paper for the two boys.
Everything that Nannan pointed was all bought.
When they returned to the ox cart, they had already spent more than two or three taels!
Liu Dalin drove the ox cart with his heart dripping with blood, and his face wreathed in smiles.
The ox cart sauntered slowly along the road, against the scorching sun, they weren"t stifled at all. Seeing wild flowers that haven"t withered yet on the curbs of the road, they broke into bubbly chatters that continued buzzing with the heat of the day.
Hearty laughter sprinkled behind the cart.
From time to time, Liu Dalin would look at the cheery smiles of the old man and the young girl behind him, and then look forward on the road again. He just felt that this day was exuberant because there"s hope.
"Grandpa, look, look!"
Midway through the trip, Liu Yusheng suddenly pointed at a big tree on the roadside and cried out.
Grandpa Liu followed her fingers and also yelled, “Yo, what"s this! Dalin, stop now, look over there!”
Under the tree, a woman was lying unconscious on the ground. And kneeling beside her was a thin, emaciated boy, holding the woman"s head in his arms with what strength he had left, terrified and defenseless.
