Zhan Xiaolou was actually feeling sympathy for that man on one side and curiosity on the other. How ugly was this man that everyone said was incomparably ugly?
After walking a few steps, he looked through the crowd and saw a man kneeling on the ground. There was a cloth in front of him with the words' Selling your life to save your mother 'written on it.
At the bottom, there was a line of words: I am willing to sell myself for fifty taels of silvers. Zhan Xiaolou sized up the man with his head lowered. His appearance could not be seen and he was wearing an old set of patched up clothes.
He had his hands on his knees. His hands looked rough, and they had quite a few openings. It was obvious that he often did rough work.
The man looked as if he had been kneeling for a long time. His body trembled slightly in the wind, probably because he was cold and hungry.
Zhan Xiaolou squeezed through the crowd and stood at the very front. She opened her mouth and said, "Hello, how should I address you?"
The other side heard her voice and quickly raised his head. He looked at Zhan Xiaolou before lowering his head. Zhan Xiaolou couldn't help but be stunned. Was this an ugly thing? How could he be ugly? Very handsome!
His eyebrows were like swords, and his eyes were like stars. He had a high nose bridge. Cool! There was a model!
She had never really liked the soft and weak appearance of the man beside her, but although he was tall, he was not a boorish type. He was upright, upright, resolute, and even though he was kneeling, his height was not very low.
He is so handsome, and yet everyone calls him ugly? What the hell was wrong with the people here? As Zhan Xiaolou was thinking, he heard the magnetic voice of the other side reach his ears. "I …" It's called Ning Yu! "
"Ning Yu? What a nice name! You sold yourself to save your mother? Do you know what your mother has contracted? " Zhan Xiaolou asked.
"Thank you for your praise, Miss Zhan. My mother has been ill for a long time, and has become more and more severe. The doctors say that she has pulmonary tuberculosis and is difficult to treat, and that she will need at least fifty taels of silver for hope."
There was despair in his voice, and also a hint of sadness.
In fact, he also knew that with his condition, no one would buy him for 56 taels of silver. However, he had no other choice.
Zhan Xiaolou's heart sank when he heard this. Could it be tuberculosis?
Even modern times could not cure this disease, not to mention ancient times. Moreover, it was contagious, if it really was tuberculosis, then Ning Yu would already have been infected. This doctor was probably a swindler.
"Ning Yu." Zhan Xiaolou squatted in front of him and asked, "How many doctors did you see?"
Ning Yu instinctively retreated when she saw someone suddenly approach her. However, she still thought that it might be her only hope since she had been alone for so long.
Forcing himself to look straight into Zhan Xiaolou's eyes, he said, "There's only one."
Zhan Xiaolou nodded. "Then this doctor might be lying to you. He shouldn't be fat. Why didn't you find a doctor to look for?"
Ning Yu lowered her head and sighed. "I only have enough money to see a doctor …"
Zhan Xiaolou said seriously, "Ning Yu! If you trust me, I'll go with you to the house and take a look. Maybe I can cure your mother, but I can't give you an absolute guarantee that you can be cured. I can only give it a try, do you think that's okay? "
Ning Yu immediately raised her head and looked at Zhan Xiaolou with hope in her eyes. "You're a doctor? can cure my mother's illness! " He was pleasantly surprised, but immediately became gloomy. He opened his mouth and whispered, "But I don't have a doctor's fee …" She lowered her head again.
Zhan Xiaolou smiled. "It doesn't matter. I don't need the medical fees. I'm a doctor's mother. Since I've met you, I can't just ignore it."
Actually, Ning Yu's experience reminded her of her father. She didn't know how he was doing, but her memories were stuck at that time. At that time, her father was sick, so she didn't know if he was ready or if he was already …
