Miss Star, spoiled by her father and brother

Chapter 122 Old things

Xu Weiwei was struggling for a long time, not knowing what to choose. Her ambition and hobby were both in traditional Chinese medicine. But there was nothing related to traditional Chinese medicine around her, no medical skills, no herbs, no acupuncture kits... let alone traditional Chinese medicine, she didn't even see anything related to medicine.

Why don't wealthy families plan to let their children study medicine? Xu Weiwei thought bitterly.

Actually, there is one on it. The Sifos family loves this hard-earned little princess so much, how could they not consider it? That tube of light blue liquid the size of an index finger is the most expensive liquid medicine in the interstellar space - Senita.

Senita is an anti-cancer drug developed in the year 093. Its appearance overturned all previous knowledge of cancer research. Before this, cancer was still treated with targeted drugs, but targeted drugs were difficult to completely kill cancer cells. On the one hand, the proliferation rate of cancer cells was too fast, and on the other hand, cancer cells were often accompanied by gene mutations. After the mutation, the cancer cells no longer responded to the original drugs.

Moreover, targeted drugs are highly targeted, and a type of tumor must be treated with its specific targeted drug.

But Senita is different. It is currently the only fully effective anti-cancer drug. That is to say, it can be used to treat any organ in the body that has cancer, and its killing rate of cancer cells is higher than that of previous single targeted drugs. It is like an all-round fighter, protecting the life and safety of the host. Therefore, the industry has a nickname for it called "mermaid blood". Because according to legend, mermaid blood is blue, can cure all diseases, and is a miracle drug.

Of course, its price is not affordable for ordinary people.

Xu Weiwei had never learned about the medical technology in this world, so she didn't know what the blue thing was. She picked it up and looked at it, but then put it down again.

She was thinking of just grabbing something and ending the conversation, but the sudden appearance of the child attracted her attention. When she looked away, Xu Weiwei suddenly saw a fish-shaped flat piece of wood about a foot in size, and her sight was instantly fixed.

Xu Weiwei crawled over, peeled off the things on it, and after seeing the whole picture, her pupils suddenly shrank.

She couldn't wait to pick it up. The moment she held it in her hand, Xu Weiwei knew there was something inside because the weight was different.

The guests in front of them also discussed curiously after seeing it: "What is she holding? It looks like a small pipa but without strings."

"I don't know, I haven't seen him. Does anyone know him?"

Everyone was asking quietly, but after asking around, no one could give a clear answer. So I just kept reading.

Xu Weiwei held the bottom of the flat wood and covered it with his other hand, exerting a force in the opposite direction. With a friction sound, the fish-shaped flat wood was separated into two parts, but it was not completely separated because there was a round button fixing the "fish tail".

"Wow! It's so thin and can be opened?" a customer asked in surprise.

Xu Weiwei could no longer hear anything. She stared blankly at the thing that was exposed inside. After a few seconds, she reached out and picked it up.

Everyone looked at her in surprise as she took out a disc-shaped object from inside.

"Is this a scale?"

"A balance has to be balanced. Look, it only has one disk. How can it be balanced?"

"What on earth is this? What is it used for?"

Someone couldn't hold back his curiosity and shouted to old Sifos in front of him: "Old General! What is your granddaughter holding in her hand?"

The old man was embarrassed: "Uh... this should be a balance. Maybe a tray is missing."

In fact, he didn't know what it was used for. It was an antique he had collected. The seller just said it was an old item, and he bought it because it looked new. He really didn't know what it was used for. He could only classify it as a "broken old balance" based on the palm-sized round plate.

The scales are placed there because they symbolize justice, representing that Baoer will become a judge in the future.

The guest's loud shout also attracted Xu Weiwei's attention. After hearing their conversation, she silently corrected herself in her heart.

This is not a balance, it is a scale! And it is a Dengzi scale!

There are different sizes of scales. The scale used to weigh medicine is called a medicine scale, which is much smaller than other scales. There is also a smaller scale called a "heng", which was used to weigh precious gold, silver, jewelry, and Chinese herbal medicine in ancient times. Putting medicine on the same level as gold represents the ancient people's concept of "human life is the most precious, and is worth thousands of gold".

The scientific name of the scale is scale, and its other names are gram scale, scale, centimeter scale, and some are directly called medicine scale. It is divided into four parts: scale rod, scale plate, scale lead and scale box. The fish-shaped flat wood on the outside is the scale box.

Grandpa said it was in the shape of a ruyi, and used to hold a scale to represent "satisfaction and happiness". But Xu Weiwei always thought it looked more like a fish, so she always called it a "fish box".

The scales are accurate to the millimeter. Just like her grandfather always told her, "When examining a disease, one should be attentive and careful, and observe the symptoms in detail, without missing a single detail."

A huge teardrop fell onto the scale box, and Xu Weiwei quickly wiped it off. It was hard to tell how many years old this thing was, and it would be bad if it got soaked and rotted.

But one drop was not wiped clean, and two more drops fell. Xu Weiwei quickly loosened the things and wiped the tears with her arm, but her nose and eyes were sore, and more and more drops of water rolled down.

Don’t cry, this is too weird. What will your parents and grandparents think? What will outsiders think?

Don't cry, don't cry, take a deep breath...

Everyone was surprised to see this angelic little birthday girl suddenly burst into tears. She cried silently, her emerald eyes were wet, and although there was no shrill cry, everyone could feel her sadness.

Finn was watching from below, his face and eyebrows knitted together unconsciously. Why was this scruffy kid crying? Was he scared by the kid just now?

"What's wrong with this kid?"

"I don't know. I was so absorbed in looking at that strange thing that I started to cry. Were we scared by the pattern on it?"

“Could it be…” The guest paused for a moment because of the surrounding gazes.

"I heard that some antiques are quite spooky. People who touch them can see the past and present lives of their owners. Sometimes ghosts are attached to them. This little girl... could she have seen a ghost?"

She didn't know that the people below were talking about her being "possessed by evil spirits and seeing ghosts". The familiar feeling of floating in the air made Xu Weiwei turn her body consciously and hug the other person's neck before she could see his face clearly.

Lying in the familiar crook of his neck, Xu Weiwei wiped her tears onto Sifos's expensive suit.
