Chapter 214 Silver Traces at the Bottom of the Lake

At a certain moment, the old beggar seemed to be very surprised and said to the yellow cypress:

"I see that you, this younger generation, have been suffering from tuberculosis for many years and are about to die soon."

"But your knowledge is getting better and better day by day, and you can be regarded as a reading seed."

"If you are lucky and meet a great scholar from the imperial court who comes to investigate, you may be able to achieve great success."

After hearing the old beggar's words, Huang Bai couldn't help but reveal a wry smile, and then said helplessly:

"Old man, what you said is a bit too high. There is no profound knowledge, it is just the accumulation of pain~"

"Look at what I am like now, how can I have the qualifications to meet such noble people?"

"What's more, even if someone really appreciates me, I probably won't last long like this. The most I can do is live for two more years."

When he said this, he sighed involuntarily:

"well……"

"I have studied hard for many years. I wanted to do something big and serve the country, but I didn't expect that I would get this serious disease."

"My life has been miserable, and the only person I feel sorry for is my mother who brought me up through all the hard work and tried so hard to save my life."

"I'm really ashamed of my mother's teachings over the years."

Before the two of them could continue talking, they heard the sound of iron pots colliding with each other suddenly from the kitchen.

Ping pong ping pong...

It doesn't take a while.

Mr. Huang was holding a large bowl with a corner missing and placed it on the table.

Look carefully at what's on the table.

There was a broken ceramic bowl that was as big as a human head, and there were three pieces of pitch-black black cakes in it.

The other bowl contained soup.

It's just that it's not any other good stuff. It looks like water, with just a few grass leaves boiled in it.

Three bowls were taken out. Huang picked up the first bowl and started serving soup to the old beggar:

"Old man, you haven't eaten for a long time, it's best to drink some of this soup first."

"This sesame pancake is best paired with soup, otherwise it will be a bit hard to swallow."

After she finished speaking, she poured the first bowl of soup, which looked darker, to the old beggar.

Immediately afterwards.

The second bowl and the third bowl.

By the time the third bowl was served, the pot had already turned into clear soup, and even the vegetable leaves were gone.

Moreover, even in this case, Huang did not waste a single bit of soup.

Scrape the entire basin clean.

I took a bite of the pancake.

The old beggar only felt numb, and his mouth felt as dry as eating wheat bran.

My whole mouth felt like I couldn't breathe.

After chewing slowly and slowly for a few mouthfuls, I felt the sour, sweet, bitter, spicy and salty taste in an instant. It can be said that I have experienced all kinds of tastes in the world.

It can be said that inside this noodle pancake, not to mention the noodles, even the pancake is made of unknown grass seeds.

"Hmm, yummy, yummy."

Huang Bai was very familiar with crushing the pancake and putting it in a bowl. After a while, a thick bowl of something like rice porridge appeared.

The meal was eaten quickly.

After all, apart from a bowl of light soup and a piece of pancake, they had nothing to eat.

After finishing the meal, the old beggar patted his belly, and then said happily:

“It’s so comfortable to eat~”

Hearing his words, Mr. Huang burst into laughter:

"Old man, just finish eating."

It is normal for poor people to at least have some food to eat, but their family is really poor enough.

However.

I just put down the bowl, and it seems that the nourishment of the soup and water just now is gone.

Huang Bai coughed again:

"Cough cough cough cough..."

This time it's even more serious.

The whole person's waist has been bent over ninety degrees. Just looking at his facial expression, you can tell that this must be very painful.

Seeing this scene, Huang quickly took out a teapot from the side:

"Drink some water quickly."

"Drink some water to moisten your throat."

The teapot poured water out and then poured it into the tea bowl.

But it was not cold water, but something that looked dusty, as if it were a potion.

finally.

After forcing himself to drink a few sips of Huang Bai, he slowly recovered.

The first thing he did when he recovered was to say to Wei Yi:

"The old man was frightened."

"I am suffering from an old disease. If my mother hadn't asked for this medicine, I would have died a long time ago."

"However, as the number of attacks increases, the effect of the medicine on clearing the lungs and relieving coughs gradually decreases, and I am afraid that it will soon expire."

All medicines are resistant to medicine.

What's more, if he drinks medicine once he is no longer able to survive, it will be even easier to develop drug resistance.

My whole person has become a medicine jar.

Hearing what Huang Bai said, the old beggar suddenly showed a smile, and then asked him:

"Do you want to be cured?"

Hearing this, not to mention Huang Bai, even Huang standing next to him couldn't help but be stunned for a moment.

But it was only a moment.

Immediately afterwards, Huang's eyes that had just shined slowly dimmed, and she could only see her smiling a little reluctantly and saying:

"Master, please stop joking."

"Over the years, we have tried all kinds of folk remedies."

"Now it seems that we two have no chance to enjoy happiness, so please don't comfort us anymore."

If this disease could really be cured, I would not be reduced to a beggar.

Although it is said that having an elder in the family is like having a treasure.

But an old beggar who was about to starve to death would probably have starved to death on the streets if they hadn't given him food.

It’s really hard to believe!

Looking at the two women in front of him who had no hope and seemed determined to die, the old beggar really smiled.

I just saw him suddenly clapped his hands, and then said with a smile:

"Since I'm here, it means we are destined."

"Old beggar, I saw the right person. I know you are a family with shady character."

"What's more, this little guy is so knowledgeable. He is a living seed for reading. He cannot be tortured by a mere illness."

When he said this, the old beggar suddenly started coughing:

"Ahem!"

Just watch him put his hand on his mouth.

When he let go of his hand, he saw something like a grass seed coughed into his hand.

Looking at the little thing in his hand, the old beggar said:

"If I eat a straw pancake from you today, I will give you a good son in return."
