  Song Jie finished her lunch and strolled along the street, wandering aimlessly, not knowing where she ended up. Suddenly, there was a commotion in front of her, and she vaguely saw a crowded mass of people.

  Seeing the excitement, Song Jie became interested and walked across the street. Suddenly, the road in front of her opened up, and this stretch of road was wider than the one next to it. Various flowers, grasses, and plants were arranged on both sides, and there were even small animals.

  This is the flower and bird market, Song Jie has come with interest, and she has never been here before.

  Turning into the crowd, Song Jie felt that her eyes couldn't take it all in. How come she had never seen such a great place before? The space was filled with plants she used to pick when she was young and seeds that were self-cultivated in the space, which had never been added to before.

  Song Jie devoted himself to the study of magic and pharmacy, and it had been a long time since he last used the space expansion. Thinking about it, he felt somewhat embarrassed that such an extraordinary artifact was being used by him as a mobile warehouse, which was truly a sin.

  Now many families have improved their living conditions and like to grow some plants or raise a small animal. This is now the largest flower and bird market in Beijing, where people who buy these things all flock to this long street, making it quite prosperous.

  The afternoon was still long, and Song Jie wanted to slowly select some, perhaps she could supplement many different plants.

  She walked through each stall one by one and stopped for a long time at every single one.

  Many of the plants were in their own space, and some were just ordinary flowers. Song Jie didn't linger for long before turning around and leaving.

  She suddenly stopped in front of a stall, which was a seed-selling stall. Various plant seeds were on display and packed in glass bottles for clear viewing.

  Since learning magic, Song Jie's sixth sense has been unprecedentedly amplified. She had a premonition that she would buy what she needed at this stall.

  Following her premonition, Song Jie crouched down, and after walking for so long, she was indeed a bit hot. Even with magic, it couldn't hide the heat in her heart. Crouching under the shed made her feel much cooler.

  At a glance, Song Jie saw the vase in the corner that looked like it had lotus seeds inside. She picked it up and examined it carefully.

  The seller is very meticulous, each bottle is wiped clean, even though this seed seems to have been stored for a long time, it is still packed very carefully.

  The seller uncle looked at Song Jie with great interest and said: "Little girl, do you like that lotus seed?"

  "Uncle, this lotus seed has been here for a long time, why hasn't anyone bought it?"

  That uncle didn't think it was strange, and smiled as he said: "Many people have looked at this lotus seed, but there are no buyers. Many of the seeds on this stall were grown by myself, and some were purchased from elsewhere. This lotus seed is also from outside."

  As for this lotus seed, when I bought it, the shopkeeper told me that it was excavated from an ancient tomb. I don't think so, it's probably just a sales gimmick.

  "If you want to buy it, I'll give you a discount. It's been too long and I don't know if it can still sprout. I can throw in an extra gold chrysanthemum seed for free, what do you think?"

  Song Jie listened and became even more interested, she felt that she really wanted this seed, but didn't know why. Maybe after buying it, planting it in the Lingquan Pool, it's not impossible for it to sprout.

  "Alright, I like lotus the most. How much does this cost?" Song Jie also saw that this uncle was a sincere person, so she didn't hide her intention to buy it either.

  "There are five seeds in total, give me twelve dollars, I originally bought them for ten dollars, and I'll throw in a golden chrysanthemum seed. Golden chrysanthemums aren't easy to find, but they're also not hard to raise."

  The price wasn't expensive, Song Jie paid quickly and happily left with the seeds.

  Later, she bought some seeds of various orchids. She had always liked various orchids, but they were not easy to raise. Now that there was a spiritual spring, they would definitely grow more luxuriantly than wild grass, and she couldn't help buying a few more.

  Passing by the small animal stall, Song Jie couldn't help but stop in her tracks, they were so cute, she really wanted to buy them all back home.

  But it's no use, forcing myself to move forward, making myself look straight ahead.

  Suddenly, a noisy sound came from the front, and a large group of people gathered together, not knowing what excitement they were gathering for. Song Jie took advantage of her small stature to squeeze in, and through the crowd, she saw an old man lying on the ground, with many people pointing and discussing around him.

  Take a closer look, this is heatstroke! If it's severe, it can lead to shock or even death.

  She secretly took out her silver needle from her space and said loudly: "Make way, make way, the doctor is here."

  As soon as people heard the doctor was coming, they quickly scattered and made way for him.

  Song Jie hastily walked in quickly.

  Everyone took a look and saw that it was just a young girl in her teens, and suddenly the pot exploded. "Little girl, don't make trouble," "Little girl, people on the ground can't be moved casually, might have heart disease," "Hey, don't go over there, someone has already called the doctor," "Right," "Yes." Seven mouths and eight tongues, it was a big commotion.

  Song Jie was not moved at all, walked to the old man's side, carefully observed for a moment, it was indeed heatstroke, but it was moderate heatstroke-induced shock, as long as the person was woken up and given some salt sugar water would be fine.

  At this time, there were already kind-hearted people who came over to pull Song Jie away, fearing that the young girl would hurt the old man.

  At that time, everyone was very simple-minded. Just now, they were also afraid that the old man had heart disease and didn't dare to move him. Who would have thought that CPR is not something everyone knows about? They all think that just leaving him still is fine. Now, seeing a young girl with yellow hair wanting to go up and rescue him, they're worried that it might end up harming him instead, so everyone tried to stop her.

  Song Jie pulled her arm back from someone else's hand and said loudly, "Let go! I'm a traditional Chinese medicine doctor, this old man has heatstroke, as long as we revive him, moving him to a shaded area will be fine."

  Everyone was stunned by the little girl's sudden move, and they stopped in their tracks. Then, they saw Song Jie open up the gray cloth package in her hand, revealing a dense array of silver needles that shone with a dazzling light under the sunlight, leaving everyone momentarily stunned.

  No one bothered him, Song Jie stepped forward and took out three-edged needles, pricked the Ten Declaration, Qu Ze, Da Zhui, Wei Zhong, Jin Jin, Yu Ye and other acupoints to bleed, squeezed out a few drops of blood, and the old man slowly opened his eyes.

  "Wake up, really wake up." The crowd was in an uproar, unexpectedly this little girl really had some skills.

  "Get a few people to help move this old man to a cooler place, and then go get that bowl of warm water with salt and sugar in it, not cold water." Song Jie instructed.

  Some of those who had blocked Song Jie originally felt a bit guilty, and as soon as they received the order, their movements were faster than anyone else's.

  Three big men came forward, one lifted his head, one lifted his feet, and another big man helped to lift his waist. Before long, they had carried the old gentleman to a shaded area under the eaves of the house.

  The old man had just woken up and was still dazed. When he saw so many people surrounding him, he suddenly couldn't come back to his senses.

  At this time, the big sister of the store came out with a bowl of warm water in her hand according to Song Jie's instructions and handed it over to Song Jie.

  Song Jie took the bowl and said to the old man, "Old grandpa, you fainted just now, come drink some water." As she spoke, she aligned the bowl with the old man's mouth.

  The old man had come to his senses, earlier he was looking at the flowers and grass, but actually fainted from heatstroke. He obediently drank all the water in the bowl, his heart which was racing "thump thump thump" slowly calmed down, and there was also a hint of color on his face.

  Everyone looked and praised, this little girl is really good.

  "Beep... beep... beep..." The ambulance finally arrived, and since communication wasn't well-developed at that time, it was already very powerful to come over.

  Several nurses walked into the crowd and immediately spotted the old man lying down. Song Jie explained the situation, although the doctor was a bit skeptical, but the crowd nodded in agreement. After checking the actual situation, they quickly lifted the old man onto the ambulance for further examination, with several enthusiastic onlookers following along.

  Song Jie had done what she needed to do, so she didn't follow them, but instead walked forward with the crowd.

  Before long, a handsome young man walked over and looked around. What's wrong? Didn't the old man say he would wait in front of this stall? How could he disappear in just a short while...

  The young man asked the stall owner in front of him, "Sister, where did the old man who was wearing a brown short jacket and gray long pants go? Did you see him?"

  The big sister patted her thigh: "Oh my, you know that old man? He fainted in front of the stall earlier and was saved by a little girl. The ambulance came just now and took him away to the Second Hospital, hurry up and go!"

  The young man was startled and ran out of the crowd like a madman. The old man was usually so strong, what big thing had happened?

  "Hey, I haven't finished yet!", the stall owner was in a hurry, "Don't worry, it's all right now", someone shouted from afar.

  The young man who had already run far away could no longer hear...

  Song Jie really couldn't help it, stopping in front of a stall to look at the little puppy that had just been born, and occasionally reaching out to touch it.

  The animal vendor spoke with flying spittle, persistently coaxing Song Jie into buying.

  Song Jie was watching with great interest, when suddenly the lotus flower mark on her chest began to heat up, and then suddenly disappeared. She mistakenly covered her chest, looking back at the road she came from, but only saw a dense crowd of people, walking legs going in all directions.

  She can't tell who is the main culprit, and she doesn't even know why she wants to look in that direction.

  Song Jie muttered a word of bad luck, from now on, it's as if she had heart disease, damn this engagement!!
