My Waste Husband novel Chapter 1589

"Uncle, there's a guest." Laily walked into the shop.

A few seconds later, an old hunched man came out of the room behind the shop. The old man was holding a crutch and wearing a pair of presbyopic glasses. At the first sight of Henry, he had already stayed calm. From beginning to end, he looked Henry up and down thoroughly. His eyes hiding behind the presbyopia glasses were full of wisdom.

"Hello, respected guest. How can I help you?" The old man said.

Henry pointed at the herbs in Laily's hand and said, "I want to know what those are."

"It's a kind of cure. It's common and not very common. It grows everywhere. It's rare because there are not many people who will pay attention to it." The old man poured a cup of tea and continued, "Guest, if you like it, I have many."

"Oh? What else?" Henry pulled a chair and sat directly at the door of the shop. "I've just come here and I'm not familiar with everything here. Tell me all about it."

"Of course," The old man nodded and handed the brewed tea to Henry. "There are rare herbs that can be divided by the variety of use, which one do you want to know?"

Henry picked up the teacup and took a sip. "Tell me about the rare ones for external use."

"Take this one, for example." The old man carefully opened a wooden box. Within the box, there was a stalk of grass. It looked exactly the same as the common wild grass on the roadside. However, this stalk of grass was golden in colour.

"This is named the Golden Light. After shattering it, it could be applied to the wound. With just a little bit of it, the wound will heal quickly. Even if the Qi interferes with it, it won't affect this herb."

After the old man finished speaking, he took out another herb.

This time, it was also a stalk of grass, but it was suffused with a black light.

"This one is called the Black Light. Its function is the opposite of the Golden Light. As long as this comes into contact with the wound, your skin will quickly rot."

The old man's hand had not touched the two blades of grass from beginning to end.

The old man continued to say, "These two kinds of grass grow together. One is picked during the day and the other at night. They only grow in places with extreme Yin and Yang."

Henry nodded with an intrigued look.

"Sir, let's continue."

The old man took out some more herbs and explained them to Henry respectively. They were all rare things. In this Forest District, few people could pick them out.

Henry listened, with a drowsy look on his face.

"This stalk is called..."

"That's enough." Henry stretched out his hand and interrupted the old man. At this time, Henry had finished the tea in his hand. He put the teacup aside and said, "Sir, you said that you want to tell me more about something rare and precious, but you always show something common herbs."

The old man shook his head, "Sir, you are wrong to blame me. These things I said are extremely difficult to pick. There are not many people in Forest District who can pick this kind of herb."

Henry smiled slightly. "You see, you have said that this thing can be picked up in Forest District. I want to see something, something that can't be picked in Forest District."

The old man replied, "Don't make fun of me, my guest. We're in Forest District, where nature is unique. With this kind of circumstances, it's difficult for even grass to grow in the other three districts, let alone for any rare treasure to appear.
