Chapter 55: Use yourself in exchange

Shen Yuerong's eyes were suddenly captured by this shining golden light, and she greedily refused to move even an inch.

Boss Zhao was like a human spirit, and he could tell at a glance that Shen Yuerong was attracted to his chips.

"The White Spirit Grass is indeed precious, but my gold bracelet is priceless, and it is more than enough to exchange it with you."

Boss Zhao opened the box, gave Shen Yuerong a look, and then asked his attendant to close it again.

It was just a glance, but Shen Yuerong thought about it wholeheartedly and refused to take his eyes off the box.

Outside the light curtain, Lin Yang stared at the wooden box with squinted eyes, thoughtfully.

"This bracelet is fake. It's just coated with a special layer of golden powder. The cost is extremely low and it's not worth much at all."

Shen Yubai glanced sideways, not doubting Lin Yang's judgment.

Lin Yang's family is engaged in the jewelry industry, and he has been exposed to it since he was a child, so he understands it very well.

There were also some sharp-eyed monks who agreed with Lin Yang's words after careful observation.

"Although we can tell, Shen Yuerong may not be able to find out. Judging from her reaction, she must have been deceived."

"If she still had some conscience, she should have thought of Shen Yubai who was seriously ill at that time."

"You have seen it now, don't you understand Shen Yuerong's nature? I don't think she has any conscience."

As expected by the monks, Shen Yuerong agreed to Boss Zhao's request without hesitation.

She couldn't wait to grab the wooden box, and then threw the Bai Lingcao into Boss Zhao's hand.

Boss Zhao didn't care. He even looked at Shen Yuerong holding the bracelet and couldn't put it down, with a hint of ridicule flashing in his eyes.

The wooden box thrown aside by Shen Yuerong might be more valuable than the "gold bracelet".

After replacing the herbal medicine with a "gold bracelet", Shen Yuerong returned home happily.

Shen Yuexi woke up from her coma and found herself lying not far from the wooden house.

Worried about Shen Yubai's condition, Shen Yuexi took the time to run back.

When she touched her arms, her expression suddenly changed.

"Where's the Bailing grass? Why is it missing..."

Shen Yuexi searched her whole body in a panic, but found nothing. Only the bitter smell of the remaining herbal medicine proved the existence of Bailing grass.

After rolling from the mountain to the river, Shen Yuexi managed to save his life, but his injuries were serious. It was his limit to insist on leaving Duanhun Mountain and walking here.

The thing that had been supporting Shen Yuexi was picking the Bailing grass for Shen Yubai. Now this belief collapsed, and Shen Yuexi's energy seemed to be drained all of a sudden.

"I passed out on the road. Maybe someone passed by and took the herbs away..."

Thinking of this possibility, Shen Yuexi cheered up again, endured the severe pain all over her body, and walked along the road towards the town.

"Oh, little girl, you are so seriously injured, go find a doctor quickly!"

A kind-hearted person passing by saw Shen Yuexi's body covered with scars and couldn't help admonishing her. Seeing that she was penniless, he took out some broken silver from his sleeve and asked her to see a doctor.

"Thank you for your kindness, thank you!" Shen Yuexi couldn't help but wipe her eyes.

The kind man waved his hand and left.

After limping into the city, Shen Yuexi passed by a drug store.

She stood outside and hesitated for a moment, but still didn't go inside.

Her body was covered with external injuries, so she could just pick some common herbs and apply them on her body.Just as he was about to leave, he heard the waiter at the door asking the shopkeeper curiously: "Shopkeeper, I heard that the boss got a new rare herb today. The medicine can only be collected on Duanhun Mountain."

"Of course it's true, it's called Bai Ling Cao."

Shen Yuexi paused uncontrollably at her feet and slowly approached the medicine shop.

The shopkeeper thought there was a customer, so he turned around with a smile and found that it was a poor little girl. His expression dropped, and he waved his hand and was about to ask the waiter to greet him.

"Do you really have white spirit grass here?"

The shopkeeper was surprised and looked up and down again. He didn't think Shen Yuexi looked like he could afford Bai Lingcao.

"So what? Are you planning to buy it?"

"I...want to buy it."

Shen Yuexi touched her pocket nervously. She only had the money given by the kind person, and she didn't know if it was enough to buy back the Bai Lingcao.

"This Bai Ling Cao was brought back by our boss. We haven't priced it yet. Let's do this. I'll take you to see the boss to see how he plans to sell it."

At first, the shopkeeper saw Shen Yuexi as poor and pitiful, and he didn't want to do business with her.

Just then I thought about it, maybe someone who knows Bai Lingcao really has that skill.

After Shen Yuexi thanked her, she was taken into the backyard of the drug store by the shopkeeper.

"Boss Zhao, this little girl said she wants to buy Bai Ling Cao."

Boss Zhao turned his head happily when he saw the business coming so quickly, and a thin girl came into view.

He frowned subconsciously.

"Boss, I want to buy Bai Ling Cao. This herb is very important to me. My family is still waiting for it to detoxify. Please!"

Boss Zhao became interested, "How much can you bid?"

Touching her pocket, Shen Yuexi silently took out her only money and said timidly: "I only have these now..."

Before Boss Zhao changed his face, Shen Yuexi quickly added, "But when I have the money, I will definitely give you the rest. You can let me sign the contract, I will not default on it!"

"Go away!" Boss Zhao reprimanded dissatisfiedly, "This is not a place where I do good deeds. You want me to sell such precious herbs at a low price with just a few words. It's just a dream!"

Shen Yuexi moved her lips a few times. She wanted to say that this Bai Lingcao was clearly picked by herself, but she knew very well that even if it was really hers, now that it is in the hands of Boss Zhao, it belongs to him.

Thinking of this, Shen Yuexi knelt down in front of Boss Zhao and begged: "I beg you, just sell me the Bailing grass. I can do anything you want, but now I urgently need this herb to treat my brother. I can't delay it any longer." Got it!"

The doctor said that if Shen Yubai's disease is not cured, it will penetrate deep into the bone marrow and there will be no cure.

The boss kicked the person away impatiently, "Who you want to save has nothing to do with me. I open the door to make money!"

Shen Yuexi grabbed Boss Zhao's thigh and refused to let go, pleading continuously.

It's not like Boss Zhao has never seen someone stalking someone, but this is the first time he's been as desperate as Shen Yuexi.

Can't drag it away.

The shopkeeper on one side rolled his eyes a few times, stepped forward quickly, and whispered in Boss Zhao's ear: "Boss, didn't you say before that you needed a pharmacist to test the medicine, but unfortunately you haven't found a suitable one. I think this is good. Why not..."

Boss Zhao narrowed his eyes when he heard this, looked at Shen Yuexi carefully, and then nodded slowly, he was indeed a good candidate.

Shen Yuexi didn't know what the two were talking about, but a voice that sounded like the sound of nature to her soon sounded in her ears:

"I can give you the medicine. I see that you don't have anything valuable on you. I happen to be short of a medicine servant. You have to use yourself in exchange."
