Chapter 97:

Although Zhao Lan was distressed with money, this was her daughter’s filial piety. So in the end, she didn’t say anything anymore. She just stared at the shopkeeper, who was wrapping the clothes for her daughter: “Young lady, these are your sets of clothes, it’s a total of 2 silver coins.”

Bai Zhi didn’t try to bargain to the shop treasurer, she directly handed the 2 silver coins.

The shopkeeper originally thought that their newly bought dress was shabby. And it could be seen that the little girl in front of him was poor. She would definitely be surprised at the price. However, he didn’t expect that she will give him the money generously. She didn’t even take aback. So, his fake smile immediately became a beautiful smile.

“Young girl, we have some new good silk skirt in our store. It is the most suitable outfit during summer. Do you want to see them?”

Bai Zhi waved her hand and said: “We are from the mountain village, who work all day in the field. I can’t wear that kind of skirt, it is very inconvenient, but thank you, shopkeeper. When we don’t need to work in the field anymore, I will come back and buy that kind of skirts.”

Bai Zhi talked generously, and when she mentioned that she was from the mountain village, she didn’t show any trace of inferiority. As if in her eyes, being a farmer was not inferior to any wealthy people in the town.

The shopkeeper couldn’t help but stare at Bai Zhi. The little girl in front of him was thin and small, she was most likely 12 or 13 years old. Her face was only as big as a palm-sized, but her facial features were extremely delicate. There were bruises on her cheeks up to her neck, but her skin was white, showing that she will become a big beauty.

The shopkeeper smiled and sent them out of the shop, the smile on his face became more and more sincere. After all, the little girl he met was really interesting.

Out of the cloth store, Hu Changlin said: “If there is nothing else to buy, let’s go back now.”

Bai Zhi was about to nod her head, but Hu Feng said: “Let’s go to the pharmacy store.”

Hu Changlin busily asked: “Why do you need to go in there? Do you feel uncomfortable?”

Hu Feng looked at Bai Zhi and said: “Didn’t you said that you need to buy silver needles? Now that you have money, isn’t it about time to buy it?”

Bai Zhi patted her head: “Right, how can I forget that, let’s walk around and go to the pharmacy store.”

Hu Feng slightly knitted his eyebrow. Did she really forgot it or faking she forgot about it? Did she really just came to buy clothes and food, and didn’t mind his treatment?

Hu Changlin still couldn’t understand, so he asked: “What do you need silver needles for?”

Bai Zhi chuckle twice, then said: “This is how it is, when I was accompanying Bai Xioafeng in the school last year, I found an acupuncture book on the road. I secretly hide it, so that when I became older I can use it’s skill. I always took it out and studied everyday for a year now. I already learned a bit. I even tried it last time when I borrowed Lu Dafu’s silver needle. I didn’t expect that I will succeed.”

When Hu Changlin heard her words, he couldn’t help but ask: “You learned acupuncture technique all by yourself? I heard acupuncture technique was very hard to learn. Some people even took 10 years to learn even a bit. But you, you only found a book and study by yourself? You are a genius!”

“I didn’t learned much, so I can’t be called a genius. But, I’m really interested to learn. If you will look closely at my skill, you will see that I only learn a bit.”

Just learned a bit? Zhao Lan doesn’t think so. She had a terrible pain that time, but when her daughter used silver needles. The pain slowly disappeared and Doctor Lu was amazed in her skills. How could she just learned a bit?

Zhao Lan was also very curious, when did her daughter learned acupuncture technique? Why didn’t she know that?

Did she really just studied by herself?
