Looking for you in reincarnation

Chapter 654 Emergencies

"Okay." Si He responded with a smile.

At this moment, there was a sudden commotion in the lobby downstairs. It seemed that something had happened, interrupting the auction.

Si He turned her head and looked downstairs, and saw that on the left side of the platform, someone seemed to have suddenly fallen ill and fainted, so the scene was a little chaotic for a while.

The fainted master should be a wealthy man. He was accompanied by many people, including relatives, guards, and a doctor.

At this moment, the doctor was rushing to treat the patient. After a while, the doctor said that there was nothing he could do. Without the magic medicine, the patient might not survive for more than half an hour.

So, the master's son hurriedly asked for help from the people in Ruyuan Tower, "Manager Chen, can you sell me a longevity pill? I'm willing to pay double the price. Human life is at stake. Please..."

The man was so panicked that he started crying, and he pleaded anxiously with the person who wanted him to get what he wanted, and the people around him also followed suit.

The people in the lobby immediately started talking, saying all kinds of things.

"Is this Mr. Li from the South Street Cloth Shop? I've always heard he was seriously ill, but I didn't expect him to be this sick!"

"Heh~ He's seriously ill yet he comes to Ruyuan Tower. It's obvious he's here for the longevity pill. Who knows if he's really unconscious or just pretending?"

"Hey, you never know, it's really possible. We have no power or influence, and we don't even have the qualifications to bid for the longevity pill. We can only watch the fun. Old Li can only resort to this last resort. What if Ruyuanlou is soft-hearted and really sells a longevity pill? It would be a huge profit!"

"Indeed, the longevity pills are now sold at exorbitant prices on the black market. Even ten thousand taels of silver can't buy them. Now the Li family wants to buy them for two thousand taels of silver. This is a very good calculation."

"You can't say that. Isn't the Ruyuan Tower selling a pill for only one thousand taels of silver? The Li family paid double, but they're not taking advantage of Ruyuan Tower. Besides, they wouldn't gamble their lives, would they? Doctor Zhao said he was powerless, and everyone knows that Doctor Zhao has good medical ethics."

"Hey, what you said, even if the people at Ruyuan Tower are willing, will those buyers from the aristocratic families be willing? It is said that there are more than 30 families bidding this time, but there are only ten longevity pills, which is not enough. Old Li is still delusionally thinking of taking a share of them, huh~"

"What if Ruyuanlou shows mercy? After all, human lives are at stake right now."

"Haha~ If something like this starts, everyone will follow suit. Wishful Thinking Tower will be in big trouble, won't it?"

……

The people around were talking and chatting, and with the Li family members crying and shouting for help, the scene was very noisy.

This sudden incident caused some headaches for the people in Ruyuan Tower, but since it involved the longevity elixir, they would not break the rules.

Although the longevity pill was only sold for one thousand and two taels of silver per pill, there were more than thirty companies participating in the auction. These people all paid a considerable fee to be eligible to bid for the longevity pill. However, even so, these people were only eligible to bid and participate in the fair way of drawing lots. They might not be able to buy the longevity pill, as it all depended on luck.

Moreover, these more than 30 families are not ordinary people. They have little chance of buying the longevity pill. How could they be willing to give one to this ordinary family?

Besides, who doesn’t have an elder who is in urgent need of longevity elixir?

Could a small wealthy family be more valuable than them?

The manager of Ruyuan Tower was helpless when he saw the young master of the Li family urgently asking for help, and could only find excuses to appease him.

Just as they were about to carry the man down, not wanting to affect the business of Ruyuan Tower, a waiter hurried down from upstairs and said, "Manager Chen, a distinguished guest upstairs has brought a longevity pill and is willing to sell it to the young master of the Li family for two thousand taels of silver."

When Master Li heard this, he was immediately surprised and thanked him repeatedly, "Thank you very much! Thank you very much!"

Manager Chen was also extremely surprised, but since the other party was willing to sell his treasured longevity elixir, they had nothing to say. After all, this had nothing to do with Ruyuan Tower and it also solved the current situation.

He nodded and asked the waiter to hand the longevity pill to Master Li.

The waiter lifted the red silk on the tray, revealing a pure white porcelain plate with a emerald green pill on it.

Everyone's eyes were looking at the longevity pill. The green color with some embellishments made it look like a beautiful bead, but anyone who had seen the longevity pill could tell at a glance that it was real.

Moreover, people who are closer can faintly smell a light fragrance, which is the unique medicinal fragrance of the longevity pill. It is very special and memorable.

When the people in the hall saw this, they were in an uproar again, talking about it and wondering which family was so kind.

If this wasn't the case in Ruyuan Tower, with many guards around to maintain order, and the Li family's guards also surrounding it, I'm afraid someone would have been tempted to rob it.

At this moment, many people were staring at it curiously. After all, the longevity pill was precious, and most people had only heard some news about it, but had not seen the effects of the pill with their own eyes.

At this time, Master Li was pale and unconscious, unable to take the pill, so they put the pill in a cup, added some water, crushed and stirred it, and then fed the water to Master Li.

The eyes of the people around were all fixed on him. Even some distinguished guests in the private room upstairs could not help but walk to the window, looking down, waiting to see Mr. Li's reaction.

Doctor Zhao held the cup and carefully fed Mr. Li the medicine, being cautious not to spill a drop. After all, the medicine was too precious.

Master Li stood aside, staring at them nervously with his eyes fixed.

After feeding, the discussions around became much quieter.

Time passed little by little, and after a while, Master Zhao began to react.

His body trembled slightly at first, and his reaction was a little strange. However, his complexion slowly began to improve, from pale to a little rosy, and his breathing also became a little heavier from weak.

Everyone stared with wide eyes. After a long while, Mr. Zhao's body slowly stopped shaking. Then he suddenly opened his eyes and gasped for breath.

"Dad! Dad! Are you awake? How do you feel?"

Mr. Li immediately shouted with a look of surprise, and the people around him also started a heated discussion.

"He's really awake! This longevity elixir is truly amazing!"

"This is truly a miracle drug. Master Li's complexion has visibly improved. This longevity pill truly lives up to its reputation!"

"But this is just waking up. We'll have to wait and see what the situation is."

"It's good that he can wake up. If I hadn't heard what the doctor said, there would be nothing we can do."

"I don't know who upstairs is so generous that he's willing to sell such a precious pill. You know, on the black market, this longevity pill sells for a sky-high price!"

……

Amidst the heated discussions around him, Master Li gradually regained consciousness, and his condition was obviously much better than before. After hearing his son's question, he said, "Much better."
