On the street, various wires are intertwined like a tangle, which brings more depression to the already narrow street.
In a small house near the outskirts, quarrels continued.
Chunhua's face turned red with anger, and even though her skin was dark, she could still see the look of anger:
"Qiushi! Do you know what you are doing? How can you steal something? If you are caught, you will be beaten to death. Do you understand?!"
The boy who was scolded stubbornly pursed his lips and his eyes were red, but still refused to admit his mistake.
Chunhua was so angry that she pointed at the boy's head and kept shaking: "If something happens...have you never thought about grandma?"
As soon as she heard the word "grandma," Qiushi couldn't bear it any longer, waved away her sister's hand, and said loudly: "I'm right! Those businessmen colluded with local gangsters, resulting in us not getting a single cent of the government subsidies. Hands! Is it wrong for me to steal something?"
"Grandma is sick, and my sister is working hard but can't earn medical expenses. She can't even buy the cheapest nutritional solution. She can only eat poisonous vegetables grown in the ground! Is it wrong for me to steal the money from those animals? !"
Chunhua's face instantly turned pale, and the hand that originally wanted to hit Qiushi dropped weakly.
Yes, how ridiculous.
If you get sick, you can't even afford to go to the hospital or buy nutrient solutions. You can only live by eating poisonous plants and counting the stars.
In the outer area, it is difficult for people at the bottom to survive.
"... Even if this is the case, you can't steal anymore. You haven't seen what happened to the last person who stole those people's things..."
The thin and frail body bent down, Chunhua held Qiushi's shoulders and said word by word:
"You have to live well."
Qiushi was silent, her lowered eyes twinkling.
…
It was dark the next day. Chunhua carried a bag and went to the garbage station to pick up garbage as usual. If he could find useful metal fragments, he might be able to sell them at a good price.
Before leaving, she glanced at the boy under the quilt.
The hut was very small and had only one bed made of wooden tables. She, Qiushi and grandma all slept on the same bed.
Seeing that the boy was sleeping soundly and his chest was rising and falling frequently, Chunhua felt relieved and went out.
When her footsteps completely disappeared, Qiushi opened her eyes, waited for a minute, and then carefully got out of bed.
Just as he tiptoed to pick up the cloth bag on the table, an old and kind voice came from the bed.
"Qiushi... where...are we going..."
The old man's long-term illness caused a disorder of the language system. She opened her eyes with difficulty and finished the sentence with a stumble.
Qiushi was startled and rushed to the bed:
"Grandma, you're awake!"
Since he got this strange disease, the old man rarely woke up. The boy was ecstatic.
"Qiushi...where are you going...?"
The old man asked this question persistently, his cloudy eyes staring at him unblinkingly.
"I...I'm going to town to sell things!"
Qiushi guiltily tightened the empty bag.
"The thing...the fruit tree at the door...is bearing fruit again?"
Before my grandma got sick, she often went to town to sell fruit. The fruit tree at the door was also very obedient and produced a bunch of fruits every time, and the toxin content was found to be very low.
The family of three relied on the leafy fruit trees to make a living. At that time, my sister was still in school, had excellent grades, and was always at the top of the class.
pity……
Later, in order to raise money for grandma's medical treatment, the fruit trees were sold.
Feeling sour in his heart, the boy's eyes became wet again unknowingly, and he forced himself to say "hmm".
After receiving a positive reply, the old man smiled reassuringly and said, "Come back soon..."
After saying that, she fell into sleep peacefully.
Carefully tucking the quilt for her grandma, Qiushi wiped the tears from the corners of her eyes, hid the cloth bag in her large clothes, and quietly closed the door.
His target today is a batch of special medicines newly arrived in town. It is said that all kinds of difficult and complicated diseases can be cured.
If we find a way to get this medicine, grandma's illness may be cured.
…
"Alas! Friends who are passing by stop and take a look. Take a look. This batch is the latest special medicine, which can cure all diseases! It may even awaken your bloodline talent!"
People passing by looked over curiously, especially when they heard the words "awakening bloodline talent".
A strong man looked the vendor up and down and didn't believe it: "Awakening the talent of bloodline...are you sure? Just rely on this medicine? You think the talent of bloodline is just a vegetable from the ground, you can pick it at will!"
As soon as these words came out, the people around him were obviously incited and started whispering.
The vendor was not annoyed, but calmly held up a bottle of well-packaged special medicine.
The blue potion is so clear and translucent under the sunlight that it looks expensive at first glance.
"My batch of special medicines are from Qin's Pharmaceuticals, Qin! Do you understand? The Qin family, a famous family in the world, produces special medicines! You don't have to believe me, just recognize this sign."
The vendor said calmly, pointing to the clan emblem on the medicine box.
The emblem of the Qin family is a peregrine falcon with spread wings.
"...Qin family?! Did I hear that right?"
"That's a very rich and powerful family!"
"Alas! I met him in District 108, where he donated money to poor families. He is a good man!"
"This special medicine won't really work..."
The words had an effect, and the merchant put down the medicine bottle in his hand with satisfaction.
The strong man who had just retorted seemed to believe it. He scratched the back of his head and asked carefully: "Then, how much does this medicine cost?"
The merchant opened his palm and waved it in front of the strong man's eyes.
"five hundred?"
The merchant was happy and said disdainfully: "Five hundred? How is that possible!"
"fifty thousand!"
Hearing this number, everyone gasped.
fifty thousand! ! !
This is at least their living expenses for two years.
The vendor rubbed his thin beard and said casually: "It's only fifty thousand... What are you shocked about? This medicine!"
He held up the bottle of medicine again.
"It was sold for 500,000 star coins in the main area! It took all my efforts to lower the price, and I paid a lot of money for it. If even this price is too expensive for you..."
The merchant put down the bottle and pretended to clean up the shop.
"Think of good intentions as a donkey's liver and lungs... I might as well pack them up and sell them to the nobles in the main area."
"Don't! Don't don't!"
The strong man stopped him quickly, sweating profusely.
The merchant raised his eyelids: "What?"
The strong man gritted his teeth: "Fifty thousand, right! I'll buy a bottle!"
If the bloodline talent can really be awakened, it will be a wonderful thing that transcends classes! He would no longer have to stay in this dirty and nasty outer area.
The vendor smiled: "That's right. Why don't you buy such a cheap and easy-to-use medicine? Congratulations in advance. If you awaken your bloodline talent and become a noble, don't forget to support the villain!"
