I rely on the system to support my eighteen brothers and sisters
Chapter 24 Successfully Entering the City
After being yelled at by the officer, Qiao Linxi instantly felt extremely aggrieved, and the tears in her eyes burst out instantly.
"But I really have no money. Sir, please be kind and give me some leniency."
Faced with Qiao Linxi's tearful look, the officer just glanced at her and turned his eyes away, looking elsewhere.
Seeing that tears were useless, Qiao Linxi gritted her teeth, took out a steamed bun from the system and handed it to the official: "Sir, I really don't have any money, how about I use the steamed bun as payment?"
The steamed bun in Qiao Linxi's hand was fragrant and white, like a hand hooking the official's soul. He turned his head involuntarily to look at the steamed bun in Qiao Linxi's hand. He swallowed and it was obvious that he wanted to eat it very much.
The drought affected not only Yueluo Village but almost the entire Dai Viet Kingdom, so food was in short supply everywhere.
Although these officials stood here majestically, they also tightened their belts to make ends meet. Now seeing a big, white and fragrant steamed bun, their eyes were wide open.
"Is it okay?" Qiao Linxi carefully held the steamed bun and moved closer to the official.
"You have no money. Even if I let you in, you can't get a doctor. Stop bothering me here. Go away."
As he said that, the officer waved at Qiao Linxi, intending to drive her away.
"Whoa..." A carriage stopped behind Qiao Linxi. The driver reined in the horse, jumped down, took out a string of copper coins from his arms and handed them to the official. The official shook the money in his hand, then asked someone to remove the wooden railing blocking the city gate and let them pass.
When the carriage passed by Qiao Linxi, it shook a little. Qiao Linxi stared at the carriage like a curious baby. She thought that the person who could ride in the carriage must be a noble. Alas, this world is so unfair.
"and many more……"
Just as the carriage was about to enter the city, the people in the carriage called the driver. Qiao Linxi was a little far away and didn't hear what they said. But the driver looked back at Qiao Linxi, then got off the carriage again and took out ten coins from his pocket and gave them to the official. Then he came back to talk to Qiao Linxi.
"Miss, my master paid for your entry into the city."
"Ah?" Qiao Linxi was confused. Is there such a good thing?
The coachman looked Qiao Linxi up and down, said nothing, then returned to the carriage and drove away.
Qiao Linxi, whose face was covered with mud, finally realized that she had gotten a bargain? Someone was paying for her?
"Hey, little girl, you can go in." The officer saw that Qiao Linxi was still in a daze and reminded her.
"Oh, thank you." Qiao Linxi put away the steamed buns and entered the city smoothly.
Although Baiyun City is a city, it is not very prosperous due to the drought. There are only a few stalls scattered on the street, and there are few people on the street. Qiao Linxi saw the carriage at a glance.
The carriage was quite eye-catching. The few people on the street were attracted by it and were guessing who the important person was sitting in it.
"Hey, wait a minute." Qiao Linxi tiptoed towards the carriage, waved, and then chased after it while picking up her clothes.
The horse was not very fast, so she caught up quickly. Her mother taught her to be grateful and repay kindness since she was young. Since others helped her, she had to say thank you even if she had nothing to repay.
The driver stopped when he saw Qiao Linxi catching up. Qiao Linxi walked to the side of the carriage. She did not lift the curtain, but stood beside the carriage and whispered, "Thank you for paying the city entrance fee for me."
The person in the carriage did not immediately respond to Qiao Linxi's words, but spoke leisurely after a moment: "It's a small matter, young lady, there is no need to come forward to thank you."
This voice was like a magical harp, and every word shook Qiao Linxi's little heart. If Xiao Liu's voice could make people's ears pregnant, then this person's voice could shake people's souls.
"Walk."
While Qiao Linxi was in a daze, the carriage left again. She chased after him again and handed the steamed bun in her hand through the window: "Sir, even the smallest matter is still a matter. I don't have the money to pay you back now, so I'll use the steamed bun as payment."
After a long time, the steamed bun in Qiao Linxi's hand was taken away by someone in the car: "The girl is good at calculating. One steamed bun is equivalent to ten cents of the city entrance fee."
Qiao Linxi was a little embarrassed. She didn't know the prices here, nor did she know what she could buy with ten cents, but the only thing she could afford right now was steamed buns.
And don’t worry, if you run out of steamed buns, lunch boxes will be automatically produced when the time comes.
"All I can give is steamed buns. Thank you again for your generosity. If we meet again in the future, I will definitely repay you double."
After saying this, Qiao Linxi gave himself a thumbs up in his heart. This line was well said.
"Haha," the man on the bus chuckled, "I'll keep this in mind. If we meet again someday, I'll definitely ask you to return the ten cents."
After saying that, the carriage moved forward again. Qiao Linxi scratched the back of her head, feeling that all these good lines were nonsense. She didn’t even know what the other person looked like, tall, short, round or flat. How could she pay her back in the future?
"Forget it, we will definitely meet if we are destined to do so."
Qiao Linxi didn't worry about it, but asked someone where there was a medicine store. She had to get straight to the point. There was a group of children waiting for her outside the city.
Following the direction pointed out by the kind-hearted person, Qiao Linxi soon saw the pharmacy.
After entering the pharmacy, Qiao Linxi immediately saw the old man sitting in front of the counter. She concluded that this man must be the doctor, so she took a deep breath and walked up to him.
"You are a doctor, aren't you?"
The old doctor looked up at Qiao Linxi and hummed. Qiao Linxi spoke again: "My elder sister was seriously injured, her right leg was broken, and now she has a high fever. Can you prescribe some medicine for me? I don't have money, but I can exchange other things for medicine with you, is that okay?"
The old doctor looked up at Qiao Linxi and said, "Little girl, do you think you are playing house? You are exchanging things for medicine. I am not the reincarnation of a living Bodhisattva. I cannot do such a thing as helping others. If you want medicine, you have to pay for it."
In times of famine, everyone has a hard time. Kindness is nothing but empty talk and the most important thing is to stay alive.
"I..." Qiao Linxi was really anxious. She urgently needed medicinal herbs to treat Xiao Liu, but she had no money. What should she do?
"Can't I exchange water with you? Steamed buns, steamed buns are also acceptable."
When the old doctor heard Qiao Linxi say to exchange it for water, his heart skipped a beat. This girl who didn't look rich actually said to exchange water and steamed buns for medicine. Doesn't she know that water and food are more valuable than gold now?
"Water?" The old doctor stroked his beard and said, "If you can get a bag of water, I'll prescribe you a fever-reducing medicine. If you can get two bags of water, I'll also give you the hemostatic medicine."
