"Of course!" I answered firmly, "We from the Gadfly Mountain may be other people, but we are right. As long as I can cure my sister of her mute illness, this Ganoderma will be treated as a medical fee. "If it's not too much, I can sell it to you for a few days as well." After a while, I remembered something. I said in pain, "It's just that, for now, I only have this amount of money. If the treatment fee is higher, I will have to wait a bit longer!"
Seeing me like this, the old man smiled and asked, "Where is your sister now? Can I have a look? "
Hearing this, my eyes inexplicably lit up. I didn't even need to think as I could hear the hidden meaning within his words. Immediately, I said to the old man in surprise, "Old man, are you saying … that you can cure him?" The old man didn't say anything, but continued to look at me with a smile. I was overjoyed and excitedly rushed forward. I grabbed the old man's hand and hurriedly said, "That's a great thing. I'll thank you first!"
"Young man, don't thank me yet. I used to know some methods to treat her, but I don't know if your sister's illness is suitable for her. It's just that I want to help you because I see that you're sincere. In the end, we still need to see the patient first. " Seeing how anxious I was, the old man smiled and explained his reason to me. I understood, of course. I immediately put away the two baskets of wild fungi and those wild Ganoderma, put them on my back, and asked the old man to come with me. The old man obeyed.
In less than ten minutes, we were back in my rented room. The little beauty was learning by herself in her room. I bought the book for her. The city is great, the current book city can buy any kind of books, so of course I bought the whole set of textbooks from primary and junior high and taught her myself. The little beauty had obviously learned something similar before. Aside from the fact that the language was a little slower, she was already very familiar with the mathematics, nature, and geography related knowledge before the second day of the junior year. I focused on teaching her a few languages and also knew that she understood Japanese. I would teach her in the morning and the evening, and she would study at home alone during the day. Well, I brought the old man home today, and she's studying her own language at home.
I placed the dried fungus on the street outside the house and went in to greet the little beauty. After explaining the reason to her, the little beauty was obviously very happy and quickly went out to pay her respects to the old man. A typical Japanese bow!
The old man still didn't say a word. He just smiled as he examined the little beauty's mouth and throat before listening to her voice. After a short while, he nodded towards me. My tensed heart suddenly relaxed. Obviously, this old man was indicating that he was able to cure the mute illness of the little beauty. Seeing that I was about to bow to him, the old man stopped me with a smile. He also told me that he would have to go back and get the silver needles. The old man left first, and I continued to teach the little beauty. After half an hour or so, the old man appeared before us again, a small cloth bag in his hand.
After asking the little beauty to lie on the bed, the old man opened the cloth bag and took out a long wooden box. I took a look and sucked in a breath of cold air. At that moment, I was stunned by the wooden box. It turned out that this wooden box was made of fine sandalwood. I had been on the Gadfly Mountain for a long time, and the quality of the sandalwood was obvious. The carving on the outside of the wooden box was exquisite and beautiful.
