Gu Yundong shook his head. “I don’t think this flower was picked from a tree, right?”

“No.” This was found in the grass. It had been blown over by the wind back then. It swayed beautifully.

The child shook his head in disappointment and kept the flower. It turned out that only herbs that grew on trees were considered medicinal herbs.

Gu Yundong waved the one in his hand. “But there’s one here. It’s not like there’s no harvest, right?”

The child raised his head again and nodded vigorously.

Gu Yundong then asked, “Is your village far from here?”

“Just go down that way. It’s not far.” The kid pointed.

Although it was not far, in fact… it was still a distance away.

Gu Yundong’s carriage was still parked on the other side. She picked up the child’s basket. “Let’s take the carriage. I still have to find someone in your village to help tidy up the graves. Do you have any rooms at home? Can I rent them for two days?”

The child quickly nodded. “Yes, yes, yes.”

However, he quickly frowned again. “But, but my house is dilapidated. You…” You must not be used to living here.

Gu Yundong thought to herself, when she was escaping from the disaster, what kind of lousy place had she not stayed in? There was nothing to be afraid of.

The three of them walked to the carriage. Only then did Gu Yundong know that the child’s name was Stinky Egg. His real name… did not exist.

When Stinky Egg reached the carriage, he could not help but look at it curiously.

Gu Yundong asked him to get into the carriage. He quickly shook his head, afraid that he would dirty the carriage.

In the end, he sat carefully on the shaft of the carriage with the basket on his back and spoke to Gu Yundong, who was also sitting on the shaft.

Madam Yang gave him a piece of pastry, but he only accepted it after rejecting it for a long time.

Gu Yundong saw that this child was really honest. She thought for a moment and asked him while they were on the way, “I’m asking you how much you plan to sell these herbs for.”

“Ah?” Stinky Egg blinked, a little distressed.

He didn’t know how much it was worth, but seeing that his sister seemed to value it very much, this medicinal herb should be very precious, right?

After thinking for a while, he stretched out a trembling finger hesitantly.

Gu Yundong raised her eyebrows. “A hundred taels?”

Stinky Egg was shocked and hurriedly shook his head. “No, no, it’s one tael.”

Gu Yundong was speechless. Although Dr. Song, that unreliable person, did not specify the value of this herb on the medical book, based on his knowledge and experience as an imperial physician in the palace, even he said that the herb in this book was precious. It was at least 50 taels.

This child wanted one tael? Gu Yundong felt that she would probably be struck by lightning.

Stinky Egg explained in a low voice, “Our family owes someone two taels of silver. I-I don’t know how much this costs either. Can I sell it for one tael? Sister, if you think it’s too expensive, you can give me however much you want.”

Gu Yundong shook her head. “I don’t think it’s expensive. I just think it’s too cheap. Giving you one tael seems like I’m bullying you.”

“Ah?” Stinky Egg blinked. One tael was still cheap?

In his heart, one tael of silver was already a lot of money. His family had owed two taels of silver for a year and had yet to repay it.

However, he was still very happy to hear Gu Yundong say that.

Hence, he pursed his lips and suppressed his smile. He said, “Then, two taels it is.”

He still couldn’t control his expression, and the corners of his mouth curled up. Yes, with two taels of silver, the family would be much more relaxed.

Gu Yundong looked at the sky speechlessly. “It’s still too cheap.”

“Ah?” Stinky Egg was shocked and could not help but swallow hard.. “How much silver is that?”
