After that, he lowered his head and looked at the wound on his right wrist. His curiosity towards Xia Li grew.

The woman who had been forced to jump into the deep pond by a tyrant was not dead, and she also knew medical skills. In her hands, there was a prescription that was rarely seen, even by him.

All of these were like an unsolvable mystery that attracted Sun Chun to continue exploring.

The afternoon sunlight was always warm and cheerful, hitting Xia Li's body straight away, and also caused the medicinal herbs in her arms to wilt a little.

Xia Li did not dare delay any longer, following the path he took previously to get to the town, he turned into the forest beside the small path, and used his right thumb to mark the heart-shaped pendant on his neck, and entered into the space.

She thought back to what Sun Chun had said, and still insisted on the principle that things were rarer than they were. Taking out four painkillers, she left the space and increased her pace, walking towards the town.

In less than half an incense's time, Xia Li appeared at the medicine store's entrance. Ding Liang immediately welcomed him with a smile.

"Miss Xia Li, I have been looking forward to seeing you here. Quickly, come in!"

Ding Liang said as he called for the assistant in the medicine store to heat up Xia Li's tea.

Xia Li was hungry and thirsty at the same time, she placed the herbs in her bosom on the table, took the tea offered by the shop assistant and drank it all in one gulp while holding the teacup. Her gaze was glued to the plate of pastries on the table, unable to move away.

Seeing that, Ding Liang laughed: "Miss, you must be hungry, please enjoy your meal, it's not enough, I will ask the shop assistant to buy more."

"No need, I only need to eat two pieces, thank you Grand Master Ding."

Xia Li picked up a piece of cake and ate it, while waving at Ding Liang.

After thinking for a moment, she asked again, "Grand Master Ding, how's the sales of the painkillers? Does anyone buy it? "

"Miss Xia Li, please follow me."

Ding Liang said as he brought Xia Li to the resting lounge behind the pharmacy.

He took out a red box, took out a key from his pocket and opened the box. Inside was a layer of golden silk, and inside was a gold ingot.

"Miss Xia Li, here are 40 taels of silver, among the customers who came to visit my shop, there are no lack of rich families, in just a few days of effort, all of these medicines were sold out, and the extra 20 taels of silver were all bought by the rich families fighting over the prices."

Ding Liang took out a small booklet from his chest pocket and handed it over to Xia Li, "This is the register of the families that are going to buy medicine from this place, take a look."

"Thank you, Grand Master Ding."

Xia Li took over the register in Ding Liang's hands. Most of the people present she did not know, and did not know whether or not Ding Liang had used it as a forgery.

Human nature could not stand the test, especially when it had to go through so much money every day …

Xia Li looked at the name on it, and his fingers suddenly gripped the book tightly. His eyes also became sharp, and he almost wanted to tear the book into pieces.

"Yes, the biggest gambling house in this town was run by his family. A while ago, his father got a strange disease, had a headache, and would lose his temper whenever he felt a headache. He couldn't help but to smash them, and beat the few little girls who served beside him to death, to the point of wanting to chase after Rich Man Yang and beat them," Ding Liang sighed, "These father and son duo opened a gambling house, set up a trap, and caused the families of these gamblers to fall, but with the support of the county magistrate, who dared to provoke them, it is truly a sin."

"Grand Master Ding, what kind of strange sickness did his father get? Can he be saved? How long can he live?"

Xia Li pursued and asked.

"I can't find out, but this Rich Man Yang's father drinks flowers and wine everyday, and has married a dozen or so wives. His life is extravagant, meat and wine are everywhere, and he has done bad things, for at most half a year."

Ding Liang's face actually had a look of indignation, "Maybe this is the punishment from the heavens."

"It looks like this father and son of the Rich Man Yang did earn quite a bit of black-hearted silver taels when he opened the gambling house, and also received a high interest loan."

When Xia Li said till here, an extremely good idea had already formed in his mind.

"Miss Xia Li, you are right, the Yang father and son, in order to attract people, they set up a gambling house, the first few times they let the people who participated in gambling win a few times, but later on they lost even more, even if someone won some silver, in the end they all invested into gambling, it is truly sinful! Everyone knows the great principles, but once a person is contaminated with gambling, he cannot stop. "

"Many gamblers sell their wives at the end to repay their debts. There are quite a few girls from good families sold by irresponsible fathers in the flower pavilion set up in our town. Sigh."

When Ding Liang finished his speech, he could only sigh.

Xia Li could only smile bitterly, didn't her family members also get scammed by the irresponsible gambler father?
