SWNOVELS Chapter 100
Seeing Zachary turning to leave, the village woman quickly stopped him and took out a small cloth bag from her parcel. She opened the cloth bag and handed it to Zachary, saying, "Dr. Ching, thank you very much for what happened to Jacob. I have nothing to repay you. I found this small tree seedling in my hometown mountain. Among the old men in our village, they said that this tree is a precious treasure..."
As she spoke, the voice of the village woman gradually became silent. Perhaps Vernon's attitude toward this sapling made her feel that this kind of thing was very unlikely to be precious, so she was too embarrassed to say it. But anyway, this was also a kind of gratitude to her.
Zachary took over the cloth bag and looked at the small sapling with some mud inside. Then, his face suddenly changed. He quickly picked up the sapling and looked at it carefully. Then he kept rubbing it with his hand. "Dr. Ching, what's wrong with you? Is it really a good thing?"
"Maybe it's really precious!"
.....
Listening to the discussion around him, Vernon's face was a little ugly. He muttered unhappily, "You're putting on an act, aren't you trying to ruin my reputation of returning to Healler Hall?"
However, at this time, Zachary did not pay attention to his words at all. After a while, his fingers moved away from the sapling and he said in surprise, "Iron Pine, I didn't expect it to be the seedling of an iron pine!" When they heard the name of Iron Pine, Vernon and Bruno's faces changed at the same time, and they seemed to be a little excited.
As doctors of Chinese Medicine, of course, they knew that this iron pine was a kind of special mutant pine tree, which was much tougher than ordinary pine trees. Whether it was tree barks, pine needles or pine fruit, they could all be used in medicine. And it had a good effect on many stubborn diseases. It could be said to be a rare rare medicine.
Vernon was excited, and then glanced at Zachary. He curled his lips and said, "It's fake! How could an iron pine be touched by him? And I've seen the seedling with my own eyes. It's just an ordinary pine tree seedling." However, the old man beside him, Bruno, didn't say a word. Instead, he moved closer to the tree, his eyes fixed on it.
In the face of Vernon's sarcastic words, Zachary did not care at all. At this moment, his mind was focused on the iron pine. He said to the village woman, "Sister, this seedling is indeed a good thing. It is a seedling called Iron Pine. When it grows up, it is a kind of medicinal material that is cherished very much. It can be said that there is no market for the price. However, it is difficult to grow the iron pine. Now it is dug out. If you want to survive, you must use a special method. So I want to buy this pine from Please give me a price, sister!"
Although Zachary could take advantage of the village woman's ignorance of Iron Pine and get it at a low price or even free price, this was not his character. Besides, he was now a rich man worth tens of millions of yuan, so he didn't need to save that little money.
After listening to Zachary's words, the village woman was also stunned. She didn't expect that this little seedling was really a good thing and could be sold at a good price. For a moment, she looked at the child in her arms and then looked at Zachary. After hesitating for a while, she stretched out a finger and whispered, "Dr. Ching, you saved my Jacob. I also gave this seedling to you. I shouldn't have asked for money from you, but Jacob still needs money to recover, so I..." At the end of the sentence, the village woman showed a shameful look on her face and stopped talking.
Zachary couldn't help but sigh at her simplicity. Then he took out a bank card and handed it to her, saying, "Sister, please don't be embarrassed. I'll buy this iron pine. 100, 000 yuan. I made a lot of money." Then he handed the bank card to the village woman.
The village woman reached out to take the card, but suddenly realized something and said in surprise, "100, 000 yuan, 100, 000 yuan. I meant 10, 000 yuan just now, this, this, this is too much, Dr. Ching, I can't..." The village woman quickly waved her hand and refused.
Under the envious gazes of the people around, Zachary put the bank card into the hands of the village woman and said with a smile, "Big sister, take this money."
Seeing this, Vernon said sourly, "It's too low to spend money to buy people's hearts and hype yourself."
But before he finished his words, Master Lee, who had been staring at the sapling for a long time, suddenly stood up and said, "I'll pay 150, 000 yuan. Sell this seedling to me!"
The village woman felt that 100, 000 yuan was a sky-high price just now, but she didn't expect that the old Chinese medicine doctor Li actually came out to bid. She was stunned for a moment and didn't know what to say.
However, Bruno thought that the other party thought that he was not rich enough, so he quickly continued, "If you don't think it's enough, 200, 000 or 250,000 yuan is OK. Otherwise, you can bid by yourself."
Zachary looked at the old man coldly. He didn't expect that Bruno, who came back to the Healler Hall, would snatch what he was about to get regardless of his identity.
But after being bid by Bruno, those who suspected the value of the Iron Pine were completely convinced at this moment. They couldn't help admiring the village woman. Not only the child's illness had been cured, but they could also make a lot of money now. Such a thing was like pennies falling from the sky!
As for Vernon's sarcastic and sarcastic words, at this moment, became a joke among the public. He was just talking about Zachary's invitation to buy people's hearts and hype himself. As a result, his grandfather immediately went to bid, which was a slap in the face.
Looking at Bruno whose eyes were shining, the village woman was lost in thought for a while. But finally, she shook her head and said, "I have already given the thing to Dr. Ching. No matter how much money you pay, I won't sell it. I haven't read many books, so I don't know what's the big truth. But I know that people should know how to repay kindness, so I can only be greedy, only make money and lose my conscience."
Upon hearing this, all the people were stunned and then burst into warm applause of the doctor of honor.
Especially when they heard the last sentence, "I lost my conscience because I only cared about making money", they couldn't help but look at the plaque that had just been smashed in Healler Hall, with disdain in their eyes.
The reason why she refused to go back to Healler Hall just now was that she only wanted to make money and lost her conscience!
In the face of the strange eyes and comments of the crowd, Bruno glanced at Zachary and sighed, then turned around and left.
Vernon glared at Zachary, opened his mouth slightly, and then went into the house.
Although he almost didn't say anything, Zachary read his meaning from his mouth, "You wait and see, you will have a good look at the meeting of the Chinese Medicine Practitioner Association."
In this regard, Zachary shrugged his shoulders without taking it seriously. After secretly telling the village woman the bank card password, he carefully took the seedling of the iron pine and drove home happily.
As he drove, he glanced at the small seedling from time to time, looking very happy and concerned. Because he knew that the pine was not just a treasure of medicinal materials. For him, the most important function of this pine was its pine needles.
After fully grown, the pine needles were more slender and tough than ordinary pine trees. Moreover, they were the quality of plants. After special techniques, they could be refined into green pine needles of the Five Magic Needles, which were one of the key things to cure Sister Lim's seven apertures of exquisite heart.
Thinking of this, how could Zachary not be happy!
