Seeing Tang Zheng hesitate, the young woman stood up and said: "Since you don't agree then let's forget about it."
"No, I agree. I'll sell it to you. Tonight I'll pay you a deposit of twenty thousand. Once the effect is seen I'll pay you the remaining one hundred and eighty thousand." Tang Zheng did not have the confidence to wait for the next customer.
The young woman saw Tang Zheng's anxious appearance and hesitated. His performance was like a swindler but she still held onto a sliver of hope.
"When will your Life Continuing Pill take effect?"
"Take it tonight and you'll see the effect." Tang Zheng confidently said, "So tomorrow night at this time you can bring the rest of the money to me."
These words made the swindler to the side dumbstruck. He thought to himself, 'I thought this brother's skills weren't good enough but it turns out he's a true swindler.' These words were said so confidently as if he himself believed it.
What was the highest level of swindling? That was to first deceive oneself. In this swindler's eyes, Tang Zheng clearly belonged to this level of expert.
The young woman took out twenty thousand in cash from her bag and Tang Zheng took out a porcelain bottle containing a Life Continuing Pill. After the money and goods were settled, Tang Zheng did not forget to warn: "Give this Life Continuing Pill to the patient. After sleeping for a while it will take effect."
The young woman faintly sighed as if she felt her actions were a bit ridiculous. She did not turn around and walked away.
Tang Zheng put the twenty thousand in his pocket. This woman did not look like someone who would go back on her words. Tomorrow night she should send the money over.
Aiya, this is bad. What if she doesn't send the money over?
He really should have left her a way to contact him. Just now he was only thinking about selling the pill and neglected such a crucial point.
"Senior, please accept me as your disciple. In the future I'll follow you." The swindler grabbed Tang Zheng's arm as if he had found a great treasure and said with incomparable excitement.
Tang Zheng stared blankly for a moment. He immediately understood that the other party thought he was a swindler. He bitterly smiled and explained: "I'm really not a swindler."
"That's right. Senior, you're not a swindler. Senior, please accept me as your disciple. I'll do anything for you."
Tang Zheng really didn't have the mood to tangle with the swindler. He flung his sleeves and said, "You've got the wrong person." Then he quickly slipped away, leaving the swindler stamping his feet in regret.
…
Mu Hongyan walked to the door and shook her head with a bitter smile. She really was too naive tonight. She actually believed the words of a Jianghu swindler and spent 20,000 yuan to buy some Life Continuing Pill.
She took out the porcelain bottle and carefully examined it. The quality of the porcelain bottle was very poor, it was just a street vendor. It was not compatible with a heaven defying item like the Life Continuing Pill. The more she looked at it, the more she felt that she had been cheated.
"Forget it. If I was tricked, then I was tricked. At least he gave me a glimmer of hope." She opened the door and heard a fairy-like voice.
"Mom, you're back."
A little girl rushed over and threw herself into her arms like a fairy.
"Nanna, don't run so fast. It's easy to get tired." She hugged her daughter and lovingly said.
"Hehe, Nanna won't be tired when she sees mom." The little girl said in a childish voice.
This was a four or five year old little girl. She looked like she was carved from jade, just like a doll. But her face was very white. It was abnormally white and could even be said to be deathly pale. Her complexion was clearly not good and showed that she was in an unhealthy state.
Mu Hongyan hugged her daughter and said, "It's already so late and you're still not sleeping. Didn't I tell you to sleep early and wake up early?"
"Nanna misses mom. Nanna wants to see mom before going to sleep. Nanna is afraid that if she doesn't wake up, she won't be able to see mom again." Nanna hugged her mom's neck and affectionately said.
When Mu Hongyan heard this, tears immediately flowed down as she said, "Nanna, don't be afraid. Nanna won't not wake up. Nanna will always be fine."
"Mom, don't cry. You won't be obedient when you cry. Mom said that good children won't cry. Nanna is a good child so I won't cry. Mom is also a good child so mom shouldn't cry." Nanna said as she wiped her tears with her tender little hands.
Mu Hongyan choked with sobs as she nodded her head, "En, Nanna is a good child. Mom is also a good child. Mom won't cry, won't cry."
But the tears still flowed down her cheeks like pearls from a broken necklace.
"Madam, don't be sad. Heaven helps the worthy. Nanna is so obedient and so cute. There will definitely be a way." The servant Mother Wu walked over and comforted her with red eyes.
"En, Nanna will definitely get better." Mu Hongyan said, but she didn't dare to believe the truth of her words.
"Mother Wu, take Nanna to rest."
"No, I want to stay with mom for a while. Nanna likes to be with mom the most." Nanna intimately leaned her head on her shoulder.
"Okay, then stay with mom for a while. Then go to sleep."
"Okay. Mom, what's that in your hand? It smells so good and looks delicious. "Nanna suddenly pointed at the porcelain bottle in Mu Hongyan's hand and said.
"This … is nothing."
"But it smells so good. Is there something delicious inside?"
"Smells good?" Mu Hongyan had a face of suspicion, "You really smell it?"
"That's right, it really smells good. There must be something delicious inside, right? Nanna is very smart, so she must have guessed right." Nanna clapped her little hands and said excitedly.
Mu Hongyan was confused. She didn't smell any fragrance, so how could Nanna smell it?
"Nanna, sit for a bit." She placed her daughter on the sofa and then walked to the side with Mother Wu.
"Mother Wu, do you smell the fragrance inside the porcelain bottle?"
"Madam, I don't smell anything. What is inside?" Mother Wu asked in a strange voice.
"Mother Wu, you go rest first. I'll take care of Nanna to sleep later."
"Okay, madam. You should also rest early."
Mu Hongyan stared at the porcelain bottle in a daze. A ridiculous thought appeared in her heart: Could it be that person wasn't a swindler and there really was a Life Continuing Pill inside? But why didn't Mother Wu and I smell anything, but Nanna smelled the fragrance?
She couldn't figure it out.
"Mother, what are you doing? Did you eat something delicious by yourself? Can Nanna eat it? Nanna also wants to eat. "Nanna pitifully said.
"Mother is here. Mother didn't eat anything delicious." Mu Hongyan walked over to her daughter's side with mixed feelings, "Nanna, there is something inside. Do you want to eat it?"
Nanna heavily nodded her head. She licked her lips and impatiently said: "Nanna wants to eat it. Such a fragrant thing must be delicious."
Mu Hongyan hesitated. Should she give it to her to eat or not.
"Nanna only has a month to live. Even if you don't give it to her, after a month, she will leave this world. But what if this is poison? What if something happens to Nanna after eating it?"
"Even if a scammer's medicine is fake, they wouldn't dare to make it poisonous. Otherwise, if someone eats it, it would cause a lot of trouble. Perhaps this isn't some Life Continuing Pill, but it definitely isn't poison. But if something really happens to Nanna after eating it, I definitely won't let that scammer off. "
Her eyes flashed with a trace of fierceness. There was actually a kind of pressure that came from her.
"Nanna, since you want to eat it, then mother will give it to you." Mu Hongyan poured the Life Continuing Pill into her palm. It was sparkling and translucent, just like a pearl.
Her eyes lit up. This appearance was very good.
"Wa, it's really fragrant. I want to eat it, I want to eat it." Nanna impatiently grabbed the Life Continuing Pill and directly put it into her mouth.
Mu Hongyan stared at Nanna, afraid that she would have a bad reaction. But she saw that Nanna seemed to be enjoying it. She stretched her waist and smacked her lips, saying: "Delicious, it's really delicious."
She looked as if she hadn't had enough.
"Nanna, do you feel uncomfortable anywhere?"
"No, Nanna is very comfortable. I feel like my whole body is warm."
"You feel warm?" Mu Hongyan asked in disbelief. Nanna had a special body since she was young. Her body was basically ice cold and rarely felt warm. But after eating this Life Continuing Pill, she immediately felt warm. How could this not shock her?
"That's right, Nanna has never felt this warm before. Nanna is very sleepy and wants to sleep." Nanna said with a yawn.
"Okay, mother will carry you to sleep." Mu Hongyan carried her daughter into the bedroom, but found that Nanna had already fallen asleep in her arms. She was so quiet that she looked like a little angel.
"Nanna is really going to be better. The Life Continuing Pill is actually real. That person isn't a scammer, but a genius doctor."
She felt that she was too lucky. Just when she was about to lose all hope, she met a genius doctor. Moreover, she almost missed it and almost made a mistake that she would regret for the rest of her life.
"God bless me, God bless me." She clasped her hands together and finally revealed a relieved smile. In these years, she rarely smiled, but when she smiled, she looked very beautiful.
"The genius doctor said that he would see the results in one night. Tonight, I will guard Nanna by her side. There must not be any accidents."
She carefully guarded her little angel. She saw that Nanna's breathing was steady and unknowingly, a healthy red flush appeared on her pale face. The sickly feeling in her body was slowly disappearing.
Mu Hongyan opened her eyes wide, not wanting to miss a single detail. She wanted to firmly engrave this moment of her daughter's transformation in her heart. Because, this was her happiest moment, and also Nanna's most important moment.
That night, Mu Hongyan's eyes rarely blinked. When the sky brightened, the sunlight shined in from the window and shined on Nanna's rosy face. She looked like she was bathing in the holy light of Buddha.
Suddenly, Nanna opened her eyes and sweetly smiled. Mu Hongyan's heart almost melted. Nanna's smile dispelled the haze in her heart for so many years. She also smiled from the bottom of her heart.
"Mother, you look very beautiful when you smile."
"Nanna, you look even better when you smile."
"Then in the future, Nanna has to smile more. That way, mother will smile even more. Nanna likes to see mother smile."
"En, mother will smile more in the future. You have to smile happily." Mu Hongyan hugged Nanna and tightly hugged her.
