Chapter 3 Treasure
What is this? Looking at the dark hole inside, An Xia was a little scared, but after hesitating for a moment, she suddenly remembered that she had been pushed off the balcony and fell to death by Lin Meijiao.
What else can you be afraid of if a dead person is afraid of?
She stepped into the door with one foot.
The sight of it is piled up together, and rows of four or five-layer bookshelves, with wooden boxes of vermilion paint on it.
An Xia saw candles and matches beside the bookshelf, lit the candles, opened a wooden box, which contained small round, large belly, short neck enamel bottles with plugs on the mouth of the bottle and sealed with wax oil.
She picked up a small bottle and shook it gently. She heard a gurgling sound inside, and it seemed that there was something in it.
Then she saw a piece of milky white paper inside the lid of the wooden box that was opened first, with four black brush characters on it, which are traditional Chinese characters.
"Yi'an Ning Pill."
An Xia had difficulty pronounced the words on the note, and suddenly realized that the note indicated that the medicine was contained in the white porcelain bottle in this box.
An Xia's heart suddenly jumped up with a "bang". She immediately opened the small wooden box next to her, which was also the note inside. She opened the wooden box on the bookshelf next door, and the five traditional Chinese characters Angong Niuhuang Pills were printed into the eyes.
These were all medicines. An Xia held the candle and walked deep into the cave. Although she couldn't see the whole view of the entire cave, she judged through the echo of her speech that the cave must be very large, and she also found a well-preserved whole ginseng in the cave and stacked neatly according to the variety.
There are also various medicinal materials classified into sacks, some are like bark-like blocks, some are like dried leaves, and even air-dried centipede specimens that are thicker and larger than her palm.
An Xia was startled and took two steps back and glanced at the end of her eyes. There was an Eight Immortals table next to her, with four ancient and ancient Grand Master Chairs placed around the table.
An Xia was attracted by something wrapped in bright yellow satin on the table. She carefully stuck the candle to the table, and the cool and smoothness of the silk came from her hands.
What is this? It must be very expensive to be able to wrap it so well. But I just saw hundreds of ginseng, and even a few of them had human shapes. An Xia didn't know what else could be more expensive than those ginsengs.
She carefully opened the silk wrapped around the wooden box, a wooden box with thirty cm long and twenty cm wide carved on it, with antique patterns and antique colors imprinted into her eyes.
She opened the box and there were yellow papers inside.
"The Huo Family's Secret Recipe 1, Baibao Jiedu Pills, 3 grams of Sichuan beans, 6 grams of honeysuckle..." An Xia knew at a glance that this was a secret recipe for Chinese medicine. She flipped through excitedly, and the last one was written with the Huo Family's Secret Recipe 328.
Sitting on the Taishi Chair, An Xia suddenly felt breathless.
"An Xia, An Xia?"
Lu Baichuan's voice came from his ears. An Xia gradually woke up and slowly opened her eyes to see Lu Baichuan sitting on the side of him.
Seeing An Xia awaken, Lu Baichuan breathed out, and she seemed to be unable to breathe just now.
Wake up from the dream, and his reason gradually recovered. Grandma! An Xia suddenly supported the bed and wanted to get up. He felt dizzy from his head and fell back to the bed.
"Don't move, you have a slight concussion and a little scratched on your body. The doctor asked you to be hospitalized for a few days." Lu Baichuan felt a little guilty. This girl had a concussion just now and was not seriously injured.
"My grandma...how is my grandma?"
An Xia asked anxiously. In the end, my grandmother was like a bone frame wrapped in human skin. Her skin was sallow, her eye sockets were sunken, and her fingers were as thin as dry bones. Especially her mouth was raised with a piece of white mouth, revealing the pink flesh inside.
Before her death, my grandmother was still screaming thirst unconsciously, but the four uncles didn't give her a sip of water to her, which made her suffer all the torture and pain. After suffering for seven days, she swallowed her last breath.
"Wuwuwuwu!" An Xia cried in grief when she remembered her grandmother's tragic death.
When Lu Baichuan grew up, he trained since he was a child. What he learned when he came to the army was that a man was bleeding, sweating and not crying. He looked at the thin and pale An Xia and cried bitterly, and he didn't know how to comfort him.
"Your grandma has already had a test. The doctor said she was severely dehydrated, had long-term malnutrition, had gallstones, and had slight fractures in the ankle bone of her left leg, and the rest would be fine."
"ah?"
An Xia's eyes were filled with tears. When she heard Lu Baichuan telling about a series of problems with her grandmother's health, she suddenly thought that her grandmother always said that she had stomachache and back pain for so many years. Isn't it a stomach problem, but a gallstone?
"Thank you, Mr. Lu, thank you for saving me and my grandmother."
Thinking of the harm he had done to Lu Baichuan in his previous life, An Xia bit her lower lip and did not dare to look at Lu Baichuan, and her heart was full of repentance.
"It was my car that hit you, and I should have saved you."
Lu Baichuan looked at the little girl in front of him. His car hit her. She said nothing. She thanked herself for saving her first, which made him feel a little embarrassed.
"Actually, my head was broken by my aunt with a stick. It's not your fault. When the car hit me, I didn't fall my head."
"What? Why did she hit you?" Lu Baichuan frowned.
"Because I feed my grandmother water, my aunt thought I did this, so my grandmother would have to wait for a few more days and would not die for a while. She said I wouldn't listen to me, so she simply picked up the stick and beat me out."
Lu Baichuan narrowed his eyes slightly to cover the anger in his eyes.
"Also, my aunt found a personal dealer and said she was looking for a family for me. After my grandmother's funeral, she sold me to the human dealer at a high price."
Now Lu Baichuan could no longer hide his anger and said in a deep voice: "How dare they do this!"
An Xia smiled self-deprecatingly, "What's there to be afraid of? After my grandfather passed away, my uncles clamored to divide the property. After the family was divided, none of them was willing to take care of my grandmother. In the end, my grandmother and I lived in an old house.
We divided the fields that my grandmother and I shared. Each family gave us five kilograms of white rice and five kilograms of corn every month. This is the food for my grandmother and I. We can only find a way to eat the rest of the food.
I can raise chickens and vegetables to work, but the money I earn is not enough for my grandmother to see a doctor. Every time I see my grandmother’s stomachache and sweating all over, I hate myself for being useless.
I have looked for several uncles many times and knelt down and begged them to see my grandmother. Except for the fourth uncle who is not in charge of the family, every time he gives me some money to buy medicine, no one is willing to pay for it. The money I earned in the brick factory, except for the family expenses, is only enough to buy some stomach medicine or painkillers for my grandmother. Every time...ever my grandmother feels in pain, I wish this disease is on me!"
As she spoke, An Xia's eyes were covered with a layer of water vapor. When she remembered her grandmother's discomfort when she was sick, she wanted to cut off her flesh and suffer this for her grandmother.
"Mr. Lu, I want to ask you for something."
"you say."
"Can I treat my grandmother with my illness? I am willing to write an IOU for the money for the medical treatment. I will definitely return the money with the capital and the profit in the future!"
The begging in An Xia's eyes made Lu Baichuan nod involuntarily.
