Others are fleeing famine, but I am a salted fish

Fortunately, it was raining heavily and humid outside, so the smoke was covered up. Otherwise, if the wind blew inside, the cave would be filled with smoke.

Chun Xing took the pulses and diagnosed the illnesses of the remaining half of the yamen runners in an orderly manner. Occasionally, when she came across some symptoms that interested her, she would directly use silver needles to treat them.

Lin Xiaoyue, who was standing by, could see clearly that this girl was using the yamen runners to practice and gain experience.

However, the yamen runners couldn't tell. They were actually enjoying it, and kept thanking the little doctor for alleviating their long-standing ailments. It was a win-win situation for everyone.

That day, he spent most of the day checking the pulses of all the yamen runners and found that none of them had contracted the epidemic.

I think it was because they had never taken the official road, but mostly took remote mountain paths, winding and rugged deep mountains and old forests. In this way, they were very lucky to avoid the plague and greatly reduced the loss of prisoners during exile.

After finally finishing a half-day's work, Chun Xing was so tired that she almost couldn't straighten her back.

He had just stood up and was about to have dinner with Lin Xiaoyue and the others when the exiles came running over impatiently and lined up in a long column, imitating the yamen runners.

This is……

After asking, I found out that some people were checking my pulse, while others were queuing up for treatment for a family member who collapsed after being beaten with a stick the day before.

In short, looking at this situation, Chun Xing doesn't need to go anywhere to open a clinic. He can just put a shabby table in a cave in this remote mountain valley where few people go, and as long as people sit there, business will come to him continuously.

Moreover, the price is quite high, with the starting price being 1500 taels, which is based on last night's price.

The dumbfounded yamen runners: ...

In this way, it only took a short day, and by the time Chun Xing closed the stall and had dinner in the evening, she roughly calculated the amount of money she had earned and found that she had made more than 20,000 taels.

It must be said that they were from a big family in the capital after all. Although they were exiled, they were still able to take out more than 20,000 taels, which showed that they had a very deep foundation.

Of course, he is really good at hiding...

Basically, in the afternoon, I first checked all the people who had collapsed after being caned yesterday, and gave acupuncture to those who needed it, and prescribed medicine to those who needed it. However, the pills were definitely gone, so I took the herbs back, added some rootless water, and boiled them to drink.

As for those who didn't fall down and were still healthy, or could still hold on, Chun Xing didn't plan to open the night shift emergency department. She simply explained it to them directly and continued to check their pulse the next day.

Three hundred people, my God. If she were to finish them all at once, wouldn't she be so tired that she would vomit blood?

She just wants to make money easily, and then learn from Sister San Ya to lie down and do nothing, so as not to be so tired.

The yamen runners who were sent out by Zhao Tou to patrol around Lin Xiaoyue and the others to prevent the exiled prisoners from causing trouble were all dumbfounded.

They tried all kinds of ways to squeeze some money out of these exiles, but they never expected that they were only extracting superficial fat, and the bulk of it was here.

As expected, every profession has its own expertise, and it is necessary to learn a professional skill, especially studying medicine.

Therefore, the yamen runners who were escorting the prisoners this time, if they had married and had children, decided that after returning home, they must educate their children to study, study more, and learn more knowledge. It would be best if they could pass the imperial examination, but it would not matter if they could not. At least they could learn a skill, so that they would not have to worry about not having a stable job in the future.

For example, studying medicine!

I don’t know if it’s too late…

-----------------

Until the third day, the rain outside still did not decrease at all, but instead tended to get heavier.

At this time, the hair of the people in the cave was flat, not because they had not washed their hair for several days. Because whenever they wanted to wash their hair, they could just go outside and get a basin of water to boil, and then wash their hair when it was warm. It was so simple.

The reason why your hair is damp is because of the weather and the excessive amount of water in the air.

If you scratch your hair with your fingers, it will be full of oil when you pull it out. If you rub it into the pot and add some wild vegetables, you can make a dish of rapeseed.

Lin Xiaoyue usually washes her head every two to three days.

This time, counting from the time we entered the mountain, it has been the fourth day. No wonder I feel like I am about to turn into a giant peanut that can drip oil at any time when fried.

Lin Xiaoyue seriously suspected that she was going to get lice on her head again.

Oh my God, whenever I think about the time when I was on the road to exile, scratching my head while hurrying on the road, my attention can be distracted a little.

Now she is fully focused on the whole process, scratching in all directions, 365° without any blind spots.

She scratches while sitting, lying down, tilting her head, and even lying on her stomach... Oh my God, she really keeps scratching in different ways.

Is she scratching her bald head?

Finally, I couldn't stand it anymore and my hair got tangled up in clumps and pulled into strands, almost looking like African's dirty braids.

So, she took the pot and went outside to fetch some water to boil. After it boiled and cooled down, she moved the big pot to the entrance of the cave, squatted down, scooped out water one spoonful at a time with a bowl, and squatted at the entrance of the cave to roughly wash her hair.

This relieved the embarrassment of her itchy head.

……

On the fifth day of climbing the mountain, it was still rainy and foggy. It never got light and it was very weird.

Not only were the exiles worried about food shortages, even the yamen runners looked anxious.

Exile is not a journey on your own; the amount of distance you have to walk every day is fixed.

Tou Zhao tried to lead his runners out of the cave, but even if they just stood at the entrance, they would be blown back several steps by the strong wind.

The yamen runners were extremely anxious and tense, wondering how they could make it within the scheduled time if they were delayed any further.

Lin Xiaoyue was also extremely anxious, but her face remained calm. Her eyes followed the actions of the yamen runners and looked outside. The sky was hazy and the sky and earth seemed to separate them.

Today is the day promised to Old Man Lin and Miao and the others to return. If they cannot return before night, the people in the farm will probably be very worried.

But even if we don't fear the wind and rain and rush back, we won't be able to get home until tomorrow afternoon at the earliest. Not to mention that it's stormy outside, the mountain road is winding and rugged, muddy and slippery, and we can't speed up at all.

Lin Xiaoyue's face became more and more ugly. A heavy rain interrupted her plan and blocked her way.

The exiles did not have an easy time either. Some were sick, some were unwell, because during this period some of them accidentally discovered that the food reserves of the yamen runners were insufficient. The yamen runners allocated food to them at regular intervals and in fixed quantities every day. If the yamen runners ran out of food, they would be the first to suffer and starve.

The people from the three parties were all thinking non-stop, feeling depressed and extremely worried about the sudden change in the climate.

"Sister San Ya, we don't have much noodles left. Do you want to save some and plan to stay in the mountains for a few more days?"
