Chapter 23
Our Mother Dug Up Some Herbs on the Mountain
“Mother!” Dumby and Lingbao pounced right in front of Gu Qingxue and hugged her legs from both sides.
Gu Lin stood where he was and did not move. However, his red eyes betrayed the fact that he was feeling the same way as Lingbao and Dumby.
Gu Qingxue led the three children into the carriage.
Madam w.a.n.g, who had been beaten senseless, got up from the ground and watched the carriage leave. She gritted her teeth and turned to leave as well.
Her face was swollen from the beating. What was the point of going to town?
This was the first time the three children had taken the carriage. Before this, they had never even taken the ox carriage, so they were very excited along the way.
The horse carriage was much faster than the ox carriage. In less than two hours, the horse carriage had arrived at Qingyuan Town.
The bustling street was filled with people. The stalls on both sides of the street were orderly, and the air was filled with the fragrance of various snacks.
The three cubs looked at the bustling street through the window of the horse carriage. They were so curious that they could not even bear to blink their eyes.
“Madam Gu, where do you plan to go?” Li Dali, who was driving the carriage, asked Gu Qingxue.
“Brother Li, do you know where the most famous medicine shop is?” Gu Qingxue asked.
Li Dali answered warmly, “You asked the right person. No one knows better than me what is the most famous medicine shop in town. The most famous medicine in town is the An Pharmacy on Anhe Street. Madam Gu, are you going to buy medicine?”
Dumby said softly, “No, uncle Li. My mother is going to sell medicine.”
Lingbao said in a childish voice, “Yes, Uncle Li. Our mother dug up some herbs on the mountain. Our mother is really amazing.”
“Is that so? Then, Madam Gu, shall we go to An Pharmacy?” Li Dali asked.
“Alright, I’ll have to trouble you, Big Brother Li.” Gu Qingxue nodded in agreement.
After fifteen minutes, the carriage stopped at the largest pharmacy in the town. This pharmacy was three stories tall. Before they even entered the door, they could already smell the fragrance of medicinal herbs coming from the pharmacy. It was so choking that they almost could not help but want to sneeze.
Gu Lin looked at this pharmacy. He could feel that this place was very high-cla.s.s. It was a place that they had never been to before. “Mother, are you sure we want to come to this shop? I heard that An Pharmacy only accepts rare and rare herbs. They don’t accept ordinary items.”
Gu Lin reminded Gu Qingxue, hoping that she would not be rejected later.
“This is the way it should be.” Gu Qingxue had Li Dali wait outside the door. Then, she pulled the three little ones and walked into An Pharmacy.
The three little ones looked at the wall that was filled with medicinal herb drawers and was stunned at the same time.
This scene was a little too spectacular!
Gu Qingxue looked around and was very satisfied.
Only such a high-end medicine shop was qualified to be her underling.
Gu Qingxue fixed her eyes on the old doctor who was sitting in front of the table to check the patient’s pulse and wanted to approach him.
However, before Gu Qingxue could approach him, the old doctor shook his head at the patient in front of him and sighed helplessly, “Your illness is hopeless. I think you should prepare for the funeral as soon as possible.”
The man who came to treat the illness felt his legs go weak and almost knelt down, “Doctor Xiao, you can’t leave me alone. You’re the best doctor in all the villages. If you can’t save me, I’ll be dead for sure!”
Doctor Xiao reached out his hand and stroked his white beard. He said sharply, “It’s not that I don’t care about you, but you’re already beyond cure. There’s no cure! Even the G.o.ds can’t save you, let alone me.”
