It is impossible to find so many 500-year-old ginseng in the mountains. Lu Jueyu also had no intention of selling the ginseng powder, but sincerely wanted to help Li Shu get better. So, she just lowered the age of the ginseng to make it more reasonable.
When she reappeared in the bedroom, she put the bottle into a small purse and went out.
When Doctor Xie saw her coming back, he asked, "Girl, how much does it cost?"
Lu Jueyu handed him the purse and said, "Doctor Xie, you gave the imperial jade necklace before. There is no need to pay anymore. Just take it."
Now that she said so, Doctor Xie did not refuse and put the small purse into his pocket. He looked at the night sky and said, "Girl, it's ti for to go back. I will rember this favor. If you need help in the future, just find . I will definitely help you if I can."
"Okay. Thank you, Doctor Xie," Lu Jueyu nodded.
After sending Doctor Xie away, she locked the door and went to find her husband and children.
anwhile, Li Shu went into her Grandpa's room while he was away. She took the necklace out of her pocket and put it in the drawer of the bedside table.
She knew about this necklace when she was in another world. When she saw her grandfather take out the pendant before in the hospital, she knew it was a photo of her mother and grandmother.
Given her father's character, if she didn't tell him about her relationship with her Grandpa, he would never allow her to move out from their house. That's why she borrowed the necklace from her grandfather to convince her father.
While one of the reasons she moved out was because of her father, the real reason was actually her selfishness. She finally found her blood relatives, and she didn't want to be separated.
Now that she could finally see her grandfather before he passed away, she would try her best to fulfill her Grandpa's wishes so he wouldn't have regrets.
After closing the drawer, she walked out of the room and closed the door. Since it was almost dinner ti, she went to cook.
Not long after dinner was prepared, she heard the door open and saw her grandfather coming back with a smile on his face.
Li Shu saw this and looked at him curiously, "Grandpa, you are back. I just made dinner, let's eat first."
Doctor Xie looked at his granddaughter and smiled, "Xiao Shu, grandpa just brought you so good things."
When Li Shu heard this, she thought it might be sothing delicious, and said with a smile, "Thank you, Grandpa."
Their dinner is simple. Apart from porridge, there are only stir-fry pickle vegetables and at sauce as side dishes. Although the al was simple, the two of them ate it with gusto. It's much better to have soone with you when eating than to eat alone.
After dinner, Doctor Xie took out a small purse and a jar from his pocket and showed them to his granddaughter.
"Xiao Shu, this jar and bottle contain ginseng powder. If you drink it every day, it can cure your diseases. So, mix a pinch of it with so water every night and drink it before going to bed," he explained.
Li Shu looked at the golden powder and rembered the ti when her grandfather would wake her up every night and feed her water during her stay in the hospital. It seed that, thanks to the powder, she was getting better faster than she thought.
Since the powder is so effective, the cost can be steep. She looked at her grandfather and said, "Grandpa, it must be expensive, right? I'm much better now, so don't spend money to buy this anymore."
Doctor Xie reached out and held his granddaughter's hand, "Xiao Shu, you don't have to worry about money. Grandpa has a lot. As long as you can get well, grandpa is willing to spend money. What's more, this item is very rare. Even if we have money, we might not be able to buy it."
"So, be good and drink this, okay," he added.
Recalling the pain she had experienced since childhood, she knew she had a congenital disease and would not live long. However, after drinking the water given by her grandfather, she no longer felt pain.
After a mont of silence, she nodded and said, "Grandpa, I will listen to you and take good care of myself."
Hearing what she said, Doctor Xie smiled and patted her hand, "Good child, from now on, you won't have to suffer anymore."
As the night grew darker, everyone in Xie Village fell asleep. But in a neighboring village, a group of police officers were digging at the foot of the mountain.
With the help of moonlight and flashlights, they finally saw clearly what was buried under the soil. When they saw the rotting corpses and slled the rotting sll, so people couldn't help but walk aside and vomit.
Xiao Yiguan squatted next to the rotting corpse, looking at the corpse, his brows furrowed deeply. He looked closely at the body with a flashlight for a mont before he saw sothing reflecting the light.
Wearing gloves, he picked up a hairpin from the corpse's hand. After cleaning the dirt off the hairpin, he put it into a small plastic bag and said, "Keep it as evidence."
Another young officer took the bag and placed it with other evidence.
Xiao Yiguan stood up and said, "We will bring this body back for an autopsy. We must check the surrounding environnt to see if there are any clues."
"Yes, sir!"
With his order, everyone started working. So put the decomposed body into a long plastic bag, while others looked around for clues.
Xiao Yiguan looked at the place where the body was buried and fell into deep thought. This location is on the border of two villages. Therefore, the suspect must be from Xie village or Yun village.
