The coffin made of ebony after death must have been a wealthy man in his lifetime.

Compared with the conspicuous ebony coffin, Li Hao cares more about the burial objects in the coffin.

Perhaps just a small burial object is enough to exchange for the money to treat his sister.

This ebony coffin is two meters long, 0.8 meters wide, and weighs hundreds of kilograms.

It is impossible for Li Hao to move it alone.

So Li Hao is going to open the coffin, take some burial objects, and then fill the excavated soil back,

mark it, wait for the right time to return here, and quietly take out all the property.

This is the way of survival for small people.

Sudden wealth may not only bring overnight wealth, but also expose the body in the wilderness.

Li Hao, who grew up in a refugee shelter, has seen too many such things.

"Bang!"

"Ouch!"

Li Hao kicked the cracked ebony coffin hard, making a dull sound.

Then, Li Hao felt a recoil force coming from the coffin, causing his thin body to retreat and sit on the ground.

A piercing pain came from the soles of his feet, causing Li Hao to groan in pain.

Li Hao did not expect that this ebony coffin, which looked full of cracks and might fall apart at any time, was unexpectedly strong.

Li Hao climbed up and looked at the sky. It was completely dark at this time.

In the darkness, the ruins of the imperial city looked a little gloomy.

Li Hao also felt a little fear in his heart, but when Li Hao thought of his sick sister at home, he suppressed the fear.

"We can't delay it any longer."

Li Hao looked around and picked up a bowl-sized stone.

He aimed at the ebony coffin and knocked it hard!

This ebony coffin was full of cracks. If it was intact, it could be sold for hundreds of taels of silver, but now, its value was greatly reduced and it couldn't be sold for much money.

In addition, he was worried that he had been out for too long. If his sister woke up and didn't see him, she would be anxious, so Li Hao didn't feel sorry when he smashed it.

The sound of smashing was heard far away in the empty and silent ruins of the imperial city.

Fortunately, it was late at night, and the people who were wandering in the ruins of the imperial city looking for valuable items had left.

If it was daytime, such a big noise might attract the prying of others.

"Bang!"

The recoil force cracked the base of Li Hao's palm, but Li Hao seemed unaware.

There was a sense of determination on his face, and his eyes revealed a wolf-like fierce cry!

I don't know how many times he smashed it. As the stone in Li Hao's hand broke into several pieces, the ebony coffin, which was already full of cracks, reached its limit and completely fell apart, with pieces of ebony scattered all over the ground.

With expectation in his eyes, Li Hao began to search among the scattered ebony fragments.

Pieces of ebony were removed, but not to mention treasures, not even a copper coin was found.

Li Hao panicked. How could such a large ebony coffin not have burial objects?

At this time, Li Hao discovered something he had overlooked.

That is, there was no corpse in this ebony coffin.

"Is this a coffin that has not been used yet?!"

Li Hao's heart could not help but sink. In many areas of the ancient country of Kongming, there is a saying of longevity.

When people get old, they will prepare their coffins in advance and put them at home.

Maybe it was because of the earth dragon turning over more than ten years ago, or maybe it was because of other reasons. In short, the owner of the coffin had not had time to use this coffin, and let this coffin be buried deep underground.

Li Hao was unwilling, like a madman, frantically picking up ebony fragments in the pit.

Ebony is valuable, and coffins made of ebony are even more valuable.

But broken pieces of ebony are not valuable.

If a complete ebony coffin can be sold for hundreds of taels of silver, then now, the ebony fragments on the ground can only be sold for two taels of silver at most.

But Li Hao alone obviously cannot bring back so many ebony fragments.

When Li Hao was in despair, a bronze mirror appeared in his eyes.

This bronze mirror is only the size of a palm, and it is covered with dense cracks, which are even more than the cracks on the ebony coffin.

Each crack exudes an ancient and vicissitudes of life, as if telling the life of the bronze mirror.

But Li Hao now wants to make money with one heart, and the first thought he had when he saw the bronze mirror was that it was over.

How much can a bronze mirror full of cracks be worth?

Even if this bronze mirror is a rare treasure when it is intact, it has been cracked into this ghostly state. What value does it have?

But no matter how small a mosquito is, it is still meat. After all, the material of this mirror is also copper, so it can be exchanged for some money.

Copper coins are made of copper, but this does not mean that this cracked copper mirror can be exchanged for copper coins of the same weight.

If a merchant can exchange for copper coins that are one-tenth the weight of the copper mirror, he is considered to have a conscience.

He put the copper mirror in his arms and kept it close to his body.

Li Hao did not give up and searched the pit carefully again, but naturally found nothing.

Feeling lost, painful, and at a loss, Li Hao numbly filled the soil back and covered the ebony fragments.

Then he turned around and staggered towards his home.

When Li Hao returned to the shantytown, it was already midnight.

The shantytown was quiet, with only bursts of stench rushing into Li Hao's nose.

Walking through the messy maze-like shantytown, Li Hao saw a familiar building.

It was a shabby thatched house that could collapse at any time due to a gust of wind.

Although the thatched house was so simple, when Li Hao saw the thatched house built by himself and his sister, his heart was full of warmth.

This was his and his sister's home.

But this time, Li Hao stood outside the thatched house in a daze, his heart full of hesitation, and he was reluctant to take a step.

After a while, Li Hao forced a smile on his face, lifted the straw curtain, and walked into the thatched house.

The moonlight tonight was particularly bright, shining into the house through the slight gaps in the thatched roof.

On a few broken wooden boards and a simple bed covered with hay, a girl was naked, and a few rays of moonlight reflected on the girl's skin, making the girl's skin surface seem to emit a hazy halo.

"Sister, I'm back."

Li Hao immediately looked away and called softly.

He thought to himself that his sister had grown up without him noticing, and he should be careful to avoid suspicion in the future.

"Brother was lucky today and found a bronze mirror.

It's a pity that this bronze mirror is full of cracks.

Otherwise, I could keep it for you."

Li Hao's words were full of regret.

"When the sun rises, I will sell it, and then I will have money to buy medicine.

With medicine, your illness will get better soon."

Li Hao turned his back to the bed and told his sister about his experience today.

After a while, Li Hao stopped with a dry mouth.

"Sister?"

Li Hao, who did not get a response or hear any sound, called out in confusion.

A slight movement of the haystack will make a sound.

But now in the thatched house, there was only Li Hao's voice from beginning to end, and there was no other sound.

Thinking that when he left this morning, his sister was already ill and somewhat confused, and now his sister did not respond to him, could it be that her condition has worsened? When Li Hao thought of this, his face changed immediately.

He did not care to avoid suspicion, turned around and strode forward.

Before, it was just a quick glance, and Li Hao had not reacted yet.

But now, as he approached, with the help of the moonlight, Li Hao found that his sister's skin was abnormally white!

It was like... Yes, it looked like a dead person!

Li Hao's heart suddenly twitched, and the whole person almost collapsed to the ground.

In this dirty and messy shantytown, corpses would appear in the corner from time to time.

Li Hao, who grew up in this shantytown, was not new to corpses.

Li Hao had seen eight corpses, if not ten.

Li Hao was very familiar with what people looked like after death.

But now, Li Hao found that his sister looked no different from the dead people he had seen!

Li Hao helped Li Rongrong up with trembling hands and reached out to touch the tip of Li Rongrong's nose.

"No, no!"

The blood color on Li Hao's face disappeared in an instant, and his whole face turned pale.

"Rongrong, wake up, don't scare your brother!

Open your eyes and look at your brother!"

Li Hao shook Li Rongrong's body, not daring or willing to accept this fact.

"By the way, medicine!

Buy medicine!

With medicine, your illness will be cured soon!

I'll go find a doctor now, you rest well at home, and when you wake up, you'll be fine."

Li Hao suddenly said as if he remembered something.

Gently putting Li Rongrong down, Li Hao ran towards the town.

No mistake, one post, one content, one book, one bar, one 6, one 9, one book, one bar, one look!

Li Hao's vision was blurred by tears.

Tears burst out one by one.

Did Li Hao really not know that Li Rongrong was dead?

No!

He knew!

But Li Hao chose to deceive himself!

After all, he only has this one sister!

This area is called a shantytown if you want to put it nicely, or a refugee camp if you want to put it bluntly.

There are naturally no doctors here.

Once you get sick, you can either treat yourself with folk remedies, and it depends on fate whether you can be cured.

Or you can just endure it, and die if you can't.

There is only one clinic in the town, but the cost of treatment is not affordable for people in the shantytown.

The shantytown is adjacent to the town, so it didn't take long for Li Hao to pass through the shantytown and enter the town.

"Bang bang bang!

Help!

Bang bang bang!

Doctor, help!"

Li Hao knocked on the door and shouted anxiously.

"Don't knock, I'm coming, I'm coming!"

There was a noise in the clinic, and an old voice sounded, saying unhappily.

"Doctor, save my sister, my sister is dying!"

Li Hao begged.

"Creaky."

The door panels were removed one by one, and an old man came out with a lamp in disheveled clothes.

Seeing this, Li Hao pulled the old man and was about to leave.

"Do you have money?"

The old man avoided Li Hao calmly, looked him up and down, and asked a soul-searching question.

Don't blame the old man for being realistic, there is really no other way.

These days, there are so many patients in the chaos of war.

You can't treat the disease yourself, not only not making any money, but also having to pay for it, right?

Medicinal materials, apprentice wages, shop rent, which one doesn't cost money?

Over the years, the old man has seen too many people like Li Hao.

At first, the old man was soft-hearted and didn't take a penny.

But later, the old man really had no choice but to hold on no longer.

Gradually, the old man learned to refuse and became cruel.

With the help of candlelight, the old man looked at Li Hao's clothes and the blackness in his fingernails, and he already understood in his heart.

After hearing what the old man said, Li Hao stayed where he was.

“No money.

Doctor, I beg you, please save my sister!

I'm still young. As long as I can save my sister, I will spend the rest of my life working hard to repay your kindness! "

Li Hao had no money and couldn't even get out a single copper.

The things usually found in the ruins of the imperial city are of little value and can only be exchanged for a mouthful of food.

The only valuable thing on his body was a bronze mirror full of cracks.

"No money? Why should I find a doctor if I don't have money?

Disturbing one's dreams!

Get lost! "

When the old man heard this, his expression suddenly changed and he said fiercely to Li Hao.

But I sighed in my heart, when will this damn world end?

There was a trace of unbearability in the old man's eyes, but he turned around and returned to the hospital.

If you treat patients for free, then soon you won't even be able to pay for the medicinal materials purchased from merchants. In this way, more patients may die.

Only when the hospital is open can we treat more patients.

"I have money, I have money!

I dug up an ebony coffin tonight!

This bronze mirror is the burial object I found in the ebony coffin! "

hLi Hao suddenly remembered that although he had no money now, he knew the location of the ebony coffin!

Li Hao hurriedly took out the bronze mirror from his arms and handed it to the old man.

"Boy, you won't make fun of me, right?

To be able to make a coffin out of ebony, he must have been a high-ranking official during his lifetime. Who would put such a bronze mirror in the coffin as a burial object for such a person? "

The old man took the bronze mirror, looked at the cracked bronze mirror, shook his head, returned the bronze mirror to Li Hao and said.

This bronze mirror can be sold for twenty or thirty copper coins when it is fully stretched, which can also buy a dozen sesame seed cakes.

“I really took this bronze mirror out of an ebony coffin!

The ebony coffin had fallen apart and was shattered to pieces.

But it's still okay to sell it for a few taels of silver. "

After Li Hao finished speaking, he looked at the old man expectantly.

After hearing this, the doctor believed it 80% of the time, with regret on his face.

The doctor is also very old. It can be said that he has half a foot in the coffin. An ebony coffin is a dream for the doctor. It would be great if it were complete.

But just as Li Hao said, even if the ebony coffin fell apart and shattered to pieces, the largest piece of it was only about the size of a washbasin, but it would still be enough to sell for several taels of silver.

"Wait until I get the medicine box."

After the doctor said something, he turned around and walked into the hospital, leaving Li Hao waiting anxiously outside.

After a short while, the doctor came out of the hospital again.

This time, the doctor was followed by two strong young men.

This is an apprentice at the medical center who has not yet graduated.

What is most important when practicing medicine in troubled times?

It’s not medical skills, nor medical ethics.

But fists.

When the doctor saw Li Hao, he guessed that Li Hao came from a shantytown outside the town.

It was a lawless place. A group of people struggled on the line of life and death every day, and everyone was poor and crazy.

Not to mention the old and frail doctors, even official servants would not dare to go in alone late at night.

He might be killed and robbed of his wealth.

Therefore, the old doctor decided to call on two sturdy apprentices he specially selected to strengthen his courage.

A group of four people left the town and, led by Li Hao, entered the shantytown.

Li Hao led the way, looking back from time to time for fear that the doctor would disappear when he turned around.

When I saw that the doctor was still there, I felt relieved.

The doctor is his only hope.

At this time, Li Hao is like a blind man who has been unable to see for many years. When a glimmer of light appears in his eyes, he will firmly grasp it!

Even if there is a fire ahead, he will pursue it without hesitation and step into it!

"Huhu, how far is it?"

The doctor was old, and his physical strength was naturally not as good as that of the three young men. He came down from the road in a hurry, his whole body was breathing rapidly, and he asked breathlessly.

"Hurry, it'll be there soon!"

Although Li Hao wanted to arrive as soon as possible, looking at the elderly doctor's out of breath appearance, Li Hao could only hold back his anxiety.
