Chapter 1688 Rescuing the Sleeping Beauty's husband-in-law 8
Lu Sheng returned the pottery to the shopkeeper of the pawn shop. He would pawn the jewelry no matter it was real or not, but he didn't know how much the gold-plated ones could be pawned, and whether it was enough to buy medicinal materials!
The shopkeeper looked at him carefully, and weighed the several gold ornaments on the silk handkerchief in his palm.
"Young master, I think you are also sincere, so how about it, everything is dead, and I will give you ten taels of silver."
Ten taels of silver...
Lu Sheng didn't know how the prices were here, so he frowned subconsciously.
The shopkeeper thought he was dissatisfied with the price, and looked down at the items. Although they were gold-plated, they were full of weight, and they might make a fortune if they were carefully melted.
"Add one or two more, no more."
Lu Sheng took the money from the shopkeeper and left the pawn shop. He walked along the street and saw only one medicine shop along the way, and the door was still closed.
After walking forward for a while, turning around an alley, I found a medicine shop.
Just as he was about to walk over, a young boy on the opposite side walked towards him quickly, and deliberately bumped into his arms hard as he passed by.
Hearing that he raised the price automatically, and hearing his tone of voice, Lu Sheng reckoned that it would be impossible to increase the price, so he nodded happily.
"Shopkeeper, please give me some broken silver and copper plates as much as possible, I will use them conveniently."
"OK, no problem."
The boy's face turned pale from the pain, "Let go, what are you talking about, who took your things!"
He was not guilty at all, and stared at Lu Sheng with a straight face, his tone was more aggressive than his.
Lu Sheng wasn't interested in arguing with him, and he didn't want to make a big fuss and attract the attention of others, so he suddenly increased his strength, "I didn't take it, right? I'll cut off one of your hands first, and we'll figure out whether you took it or not." take!"
The boy quickened his pace after bumping into someone, and before he could take a few steps, someone pinched his shoulder from behind.
"Oh, it hurts... it hurts... let go!"
With a sullen face, Lu Sheng twisted his arm, lowered his voice, and said coldly, "Hand over my things!"
Lu Sheng stared at him coldly, "Your other hand is not useless, just take out things, that hand can't be used? Don't try to play other tricks, I don't have time to talk to you!"
The young man wanted him to let go first, so that he could take the opportunity to escape, but he didn't expect that he would not accept such a trick at all.
The arm was pressed very painfully, as if he applied a little more force, and the arm was really removed. He shook his hand and took out the money bag that he had just touched from Lu Sheng.
He had a cold face, his voice seemed to be wrapped in ice, he had no temperature at all, and the strength in his hand was so strong that the boy didn't even have the slightest chance to resist.
The boy was so painful that his face was all wrinkled together, knowing that he had encountered a hard stubble, and he couldn't be tough at all.
"Let go... let go, I will pay you back, why not pay you back!"
Lu Sheng walked over, tapped the counter lightly with his fingers, and said in a low voice, "Man, buy medicine."
The drowsy man heard the voice, and lazily raised his eyelids to glance at him, "Where's Fang Zi?"
Lu Sheng was stunned for a moment, he was in a rush, he was in a hurry, and he completely forgot to go to the pharmacy to dispense medicine in ancient times. Usually, a prescription was issued first, and the medicine was filled according to the prescription.
Lu Sheng got the money bag, and let go of his hand without saying a word. He hurried to the pharmacy, didn't want to pay attention to him, turned around and left.
Grinning on the spot, the young man rubbed and pressed his arms desperately, staring angrily at Lu Sheng's back, and followed behind without knowing why.
The pharmacy was very deserted, only one clerk stood bored in front of the counter, with drooping eyelids, as if he was about to fall asleep at any time.
"What's written here? Ghost drawing symbols?"
He turned around and saw the young man who had stolen his purse standing behind him with his hands in his hands, staring down at the herbs he had written down, muttering something in a low voice.
Lu Sheng used the traditional characters he had learned in the ancient plane before, but he didn't expect that he would be ridiculed when he wrote it out. It seems that the characters of this dynasty are different from the ancient plane he stayed in before.
"Sorry, I forgot to bring the prescription. Do you have a pen and paper? I will write the prescription down now."
Hearing what he said, the clerk showed a hint of impatience on his face, but after all he wanted to do business, he found a pen and paper and handed it to Lu Sheng.
Lu Sheng casually wrote down the few herbs he needed, and before handing them to the waiter, a voice sounded behind him.
He turned around and was about to leave. Since the clerk refused to write, he could go to the calligraphy and painting booth outside and find someone to write the prescription first before coming over, just to waste some time.
"Hey, you're leaving now? You really can't write? You can report it to me and I'll write it for you. It only costs one tael of silver, will it work?"
One tael of silver, Lu Sheng gave him a cold look. Even if he didn't know much about the ancient market, he knew that just writing these few words would never cost a tael of silver.
His brows twitched slightly, and he looked up at the buddy in front of him, "Sorry, buddy, I'll give you the name of the medicine, and you can just dispense it to me, how about it?"
"That's not okay. We all take medicine according to the prescription. You don't have a prescription, so I dare not give you the medicine. If there is any mistake, the shopkeeper will not spare me!"
The buddy disagreed, and Lu Sheng frowned even tighter.
"A drop of money is not acceptable, but 800 Wen is fine."
"That's 500 Wen, it really can't be less!"
"Hey, why are you ignoring me, 300 Wen, how about 300 Wen? Even if you go to the calligraphy and painting artist, it will cost two to three hundred Wen, and I will save you time!"
Seeing that Lu Sheng ignored him, the young man hurriedly chased after him, "Is it too expensive? I can give you a discount. If you give me a penny, I'll write for you."
A sling of money is almost 1200 Wen, but a tael of silver can be exchanged for [-] Wen, which is really a discount.
When Lu Sheng heard the voice behind him, he quickened his pace again, completely ignoring the thief's intentions.
This cold and indifferent look is very dangerous!
The boy shuddered, but he was unwilling to give up. He subconsciously puffed out his chest.
"I keep my word. If you refuse, I will definitely keep pestering you until you get annoyed!"
"One price, 100 Wen, if you refuse, I will keep pestering you! I will do what I say!"
Coming out of the pharmacy, the young man followed Lu Sheng all the time, constantly lowering the price, and finally acted like a rogue, rushed in front of him, and directly blocked his way.
Lu Sheng narrowed his eyes slightly, his eyes were cold, and looked at him quietly.
"Why do you want money so much?"
Lu Sheng asked in a low voice.
The young man hesitated for a moment, his eyes flickered, and there was a faint sadness in his eyes.
He came out to steal things because he really had no other choice, but he didn't want to steal at all. If he could get money by writing a prescription for the person in front of him, he would feel the same in his heart if he took the money back to find a doctor for his sick mother. Have fun.
Lu Sheng saw a trace of fear on his face, probably because he almost broke his arm just now and scared him, but even so, he still stood in front of him.
The boy's eyes were very clear, and there was a trace of distress in the clearness, as if he didn't want to beg for money so brazenly, but he was very helpless.
"Is there any reason to want money, buy food and play, whatever!"
He didn't want to show all his embarrassment in front of a stranger, but he didn't know that the look in his eyes had already revealed it.
"Okay, 100 Wen, no more!"
In the end, Lu Sheng asked the young man to help him write the prescription. The calligraphy and painting stalls he saw before are separated by an alley, and it takes time to go back and forth.Since he can write, let him write, and save him from continuing to pester.
