Although it was pouring with rain, as the largest elixir shop in Qinglan City, Baicaotang still opened its doors to welcome customers as usual. In the hall, customers were shopping for their favorite elixirs in groups of twos and threes. There were not many people, but it was not deserted either.
An idle waiter was currently observing the customers coming and going. Whenever a lone customer had the slightest intention of buying, he would immediately greet them and introduce them to them.
"Huh? Where did the girl come from?"
His eyes swept over, and a little girl who was completely soaked by the rain, wearing simple clothes and bare feet caught his attention. This girl had a beautiful face, but her soaked hair was hanging down, and there were some scars on her arms and calves, giving her a strange look.
A sloppy feeling.
"Little girl, why did you come here? This is not your place to play."
The waiter hurriedly walked to Nie Xiaoyu's side. Most of the guests in Baicao Hall were dignitaries in the city. Even the patrons in this hall were by no means ordinary people. They were dirty and unknown.
If the little girl bumps into a customer here, the customer will start to argue, and the steward will hold the waiter accountable.
"Uncle, I'm not here to play, I'm here to buy elixirs."
Nie Xiaoyu was shocked by the majestic appearance of Baicao Hall before she entered. This was the first time she walked out of the slums in the north of the city. Along the way, she asked many people how to get to Baicao Hall, and finally found this place where she could save her life.
Her daddy's place.
After walking through the door, Nie Xiaoyu was even more overwhelmed by the more splendid building interiors and the dazzling counters bursting with red fragrance. The adults around him were all dressed in rich clothes and gold and silver, but he was so slovenly.
The appearance is obviously out of place here.
"Ah? Little girl, stop joking and go out with your uncle quickly. You can't afford the elixirs here."
Hearing that the little girl in front of him actually came here to buy elixirs, the clerk was also startled, with a random smile on his face. Apparently he didn't believe Nie Xiaoyu's words. You must know that the elixirs sold by Baicaotang are at the lowest level of mortal grade.
A real elixir, not a medicine. The cheapest Qi-tonifying elixir costs one thousand Cang Yun coins, which is simply not something that the little girl dressed as a commoner in front of me can afford.
"Really uncle, I want to buy the Yuping Immortal Pill. My father is ill and only this medicine can save him. Uncle, can you sell it to me?"
Seeing the adult in front of him trying to drive her out, Nie Xiaoyu was so anxious that she almost burst into tears. She quickly grabbed the man's arm and begged him to buy the magic medicine that Uncle Fu could give to save his father.
"Ah ha? Little girl, you still know about the Jade Screen Immortal Pill. Then do you know how much a Jade Screen Immortal Pill costs? Ten thousand Cang Yun coins! That is a third-level mortal elixir. Okay,
Uncle still has a lot of things to do, so go home quickly and don’t stay here."
The waiter waved his hand at the little girl in front of him and turned around to leave. This move made Nie Xiaoyu anxious. Although she was scared and anxious now, she could not give up as long as she could save her father's life.
"Oh, where did this wild girl come from? She's so dirty, she's wet all over her body."
Nie Xiaoyu, who was quickly trying to catch up with the waiter, was a little panicked, and bumped into a passing girl in gorgeous clothes. Her thin body was already malnourished, and she was knocked to the ground directly, but the one who shouted first was indeed
That girl covered in jewels.
The girl's shrill scream immediately attracted everyone to watch. Most of the people present were children from rich families. Looking at the ragged Nie Xiaoyu, they all started pointing.
"Why did you put the rag pickers in?"
"Yes, you're not here to steal anything, are you? Check to see if there are any jewels missing."
The noise in the hall soon attracted the steward who was originally on the second floor. He quickly came to the reluctant girl in gorgeous clothes, nodded and bent down to pack up her luggage.
"Ms. Wang, what made you so angry? Oh, you are a distinguished guest of our family. You didn't inform me in advance when you came, so that I could receive you."
In fact, the steward saw Nie Xiaoyu as soon as he came over. He saw the timid little girl there who was frightened and at a loss. He also understood the general story of what happened. Although he felt pity, naturally he could not offend these wealthy patrons, so
He quickly came over and invited the girl in gorgeous clothes to rest in the elegant seating area on the second floor. He secretly signaled to the waiter on the side, telling him to take Nie Xiaoyu away quickly.
"Uncle, I want to buy medicine, Yuping Immortal Pill, can you sell it to me?"
The steward, who led the girl in gorgeous clothes to turn around and leave, had just taken a few steps when he was stopped by a crisp shout from behind. He turned back in surprise. It was the little girl. At this time, her big eyes looked directly at him bravely.
, her little breasts rose and fell together, as if she had made a lot of determination.
"I know this medicine is very expensive and I have no money, but I can sell myself to you in exchange for money. I will help you work for the rest of my life. Please save my father. Xiaoyu kowtows to you."
In the astonished eyes of everyone, the weak girl knelt down on the ground, and then kowtowed to the steward in front of her desperately. The sound of her head hitting the ground made the steward who was responsible for the accident feel heartbroken.
.
"It's ridiculous. A rag-picking girl wants to buy elixirs. If you don't have money, get out of here. If you want to sell yourself, go to Shuangfeng Tower to sell it. But looking at your body, I guess even Shuangfeng Tower won't bother to buy it. After all, you can't even buy it."
No one would choose a yellow-haired girl like you."
The girl in gorgeous clothes who had been led away by the steward burst out laughing when she heard Nie Xiaoyu's words, as if she had heard a joke. She then remembered that the long dress she had specially chosen was stained by this dirty girl who didn't know where it came from.
It was full of sewage, and the girl felt evil in her heart. She pointed at Nie Xiaoyu and said some bad words.
Nie Xiaoyu looked at the girl in front of him who was wearing gorgeous clothes and gold and silver jewelry and kept spewing obscene words at him. What was even more frightening was that so many adults onlookers were also pointing at him, with the look in their eyes.
Even a child like her can clearly feel his disgust and disgust.
Even the steward of Baicaotang struggled for a moment in his eyes, and then turned his face away, allowing the girl in gorgeous clothes to yell even louder.
At this moment, the swelling and pain on the forehead, the scratches on the arms, and the cold from the soaked clothes are not as good as the huge trauma in the soul. What happened to these adults? Why are you cursing me like this? This is what I told my parents.
They are all different from the neighbors, uncles and aunts I have met since childhood.
The crowd in front of Nie Xiaoyu gradually changed in her eyes. The women and young ladies with exquisite makeup, as well as the handsome young men with their servants, all had distorted faces, and surrounded her ferociously like monsters and monsters. She gradually felt a little out of breath.
I'm not angry anymore.
"Shut up!"
A loud shout came, and Nie Xiaoyu was pulled out of the boundless fear. She looked back and saw a boy who was only twelve or thirteen years old at most standing behind her, with an old servant beside him.
It is made of ice-blue fine silk, and the snow-white piping embroidered with elegant bamboo leaf patterns complements the mutton-fat jade hairpin on his head. At first glance, he is a member of a wealthy family.
