Chapter 1300 - 825: A Meddlesome Heart

The value of a piece of genuine rhinoceros horn is about the same as that of the piece of genuine tiger bone Du Heng saw before, or rather, their current rarity is about the same.

But there is a very real problem in front of us, which is what was mentioned before. In this era, all products made from rhinoceros horn, whether as medicine or as crafts, cannot be traded.

Just this point made Du Heng's previously excited heart immediately turn cold. After hesitating for a moment, he said to Gu Qinghong, "Thank you for your kindness, but I won't go."

Gu Qinghong, of course, also noticed that in that instant, Du Heng was definitely tempted, so upon hearing Du Heng's refusal, she quickly asked, "Why?"

Du Heng smiled and explained, "Firstly, the thing about rhinoceros horn is that it is now explicitly forbidden to trade, so even if it's a good thing, we can't buy it.

Additionally, this thing is now strictly prohibited for use as medicine and cannot be added to a prescription. So even if it ends up in our hands in the end, it's useless to us."

Du Heng's reasons were very practical, but Gu Qinghong couldn't help rolling her eyes, "I say, Du, aren't you being a bit too straightforward?

If we trade privately, no one will investigate us unless someone reports. Who will know we're buying that stuff?

As for the seller, he urgently needs money now, and I have roughly checked. If it is a complete rhinoceros horn, then it's quite substantial in weight, and similarly, the price won't be low. Could it be that he doesn't want money and will report himself?"

After interacting for such a long time, Gu Qinghong always felt that Du Heng was a person with a lot of ideas, quite capable, cared for his Wife and the Gu family, could make money, and didn't mess around. He didn't have the bad habits of nouveau riche and wealthy people, making him a very good man.

But just because of what he said a moment ago, she felt that this man, besides having a strong sense of masculinity, was a bit pedantic.

Gu Qinghong took a light step forward and again softly said, "As for your concern about the inability to use it, is that really an issue?

It's not a problem that good things can't be used, it's terrifying when you need it and can't find it.

You're a doctor, having this good thing in hand, even if you don't use it on your patients, you have friends, right? You have relatives, right? Can you guarantee they will never need this thing?"

Du Heng gritted his teeth, taking a deep breath.

Is he worried about these two issues?

Of course, there's a bit of concern in this regard, but it's definitely not the most important thing.

What he feared most was that he was not familiar with the seller Gu Qinghong mentioned.

After all, this is not a legitimate business. Without mutual understanding, who dares to hand over leverage to the other party?

If this seller is not reliable and likes to engage in harm without benefit, the consequences could definitely affect his future plans.

Upon careful thought, for a piece of rhinoceros horn, it's not worth it.

But when Gu Qinghong saw Du Heng chewing his lips, and noted his conflicted expression, a sudden suspicion emerged in her heart, "Are you worried this person isn't reliable?

Don't worry, there's no problem.

This person has some family connection with my aunt's in-laws, so he wouldn't dare to act recklessly.

Moreover, Du, if you really want it, I can negotiate with him; consider it my transaction with him, then I'll give it to you.

He is very clear about our family's situation, and given the family connection, even if he has the intention, he wouldn't have the courage."

As soon as Gu Qinghong finished speaking, she saw Du Heng once again become tempted, but there was still a trace of hesitation in his eyes.

Gu Qinghong thought for a moment and then smiled, saying, "Oh right, if you really take a liking to it, there's no problem with me negotiating, but in the end, you have to give me the money; I'll just be your glove in this."

Rhinoceros horn has the effects of clearing heat, cooling blood, calming fright, and detoxifying. It can treat various diseases such as typhoid, warm diseases, heat entering the blood, panic, nosebleeds, bleeding, carbuncles, and swelling toxins.

The unfortunate uremia Patient who was delayed before, if at that time a little rhinoceros horn could have been added to his prescription, Du Heng had confidence that even being delayed a day or two wouldn't have led to such a life-threatening situation today.

Such a good thing.

Just like the previous tiger bone, it's truly a good thing.

If it were like when he encountered tiger bone and had no money, it would be resigned. But now he has money, and quite a bit of it, if he doesn't take such a good thing into his own hands, it would really be a pity.

And Gu Qinghong is right, this thing indeed cannot be used for ordinary patients, but can he guarantee that his family and friends will not need it in the future?

Given the current level of food safety in Society, as well as people's routines and lifestyles, Du Heng feels that this thing will eventually be needful.

After mulling over it, Du Heng finally made a decision, looking at Gu Qinghong, he asked, "You said it's a complete piece, how big is it?

Did the seller say how heavy it is?"

Gu Qinghong directly shook her head, "He didn't really say, just said there's a piece at home and asked if I wanted to collect it."

Du Heng slowly nodded, then whatever, regardless of its size, according to his savings, it should be enough.

"So when can we see it?" After deciding to buy it, Du Heng became anxious.
