"Okay, be careful not to let the wound come into contact with water to prevent it from getting worse!" Song Xile casually put the needle and thread in his hand back on the tray and said to the dazed woman.

When the middle-aged woman saw that the bleeding on her husband's arm had stopped, she was so excited that tears welled up in her eyes. She thanked him with a trembling voice: "Thank you, young lady, you are really a benefactor to our family!"

Song Xile, "Sister-in-law, there is no need to do this. The bleeding has stopped, but the patient is not out of danger yet. The hot weather is not conducive to the recovery of the wound. You'd better stay in the clinic for one night. Ask the doctor to give you some medicine and observe for a while. Make sure the patient doesn't have a fever before taking him back!"

After hearing what Song Xile said, the woman's relaxed nerves couldn't help but tense up.

She couldn't help but hug her husband tightly, and turned her anxious eyes to Doctor Zheng beside her, and said in a pleading voice: "Doctor Zheng, please take us in for one night."

Doctor Zheng nodded, turned around and said to the apprentice beside him: "Carry the person to the inner room and settle him down first."

Then he turned to the woman and said, "Don't worry, the most dangerous situation has passed. I will go and write a decoction to reduce swelling and detoxify. After you get the medicine, there is a medicine pot in the inner room and water in the backyard. You should boil the medicine as soon as possible and feed it to him.

"As long as the patient's fever is not too high, his life will be saved!"

The woman nodded repeatedly and kept thanking him.

When she went out, she took out all the silver and money in the house, which amounted to only one or two taels of silver.

My husband's injuries are so serious that the medical expenses and medical treatment costs will probably be quite high.

Thinking of this, the woman asked hesitantly, "How much is the consultation fee? If it's not enough, I'll go back and collect it. I also ask Doctor Zheng to save my husband."

The rural family was already poor, and they were able to save this money thanks to the money her husband earned from working hard to collect firewood every day.

But now her husband's life and death is at stake, and she has to find a way to save his life no matter how difficult it is.

Doctor Zheng glanced at Song Xile standing aside, stroked his sparse beard, and said generously: "This lady helped you sew up this injury, so I won't charge you for the consultation fee. You just pay for the consumables and medicine, a total of eighty coins!"

When the woman heard this, she felt relieved immediately, and her heart, which had been hanging in the air, finally settled down.

She thanked him repeatedly and a smile of relief appeared on her face.

After thanking Doctor Zheng, the woman walked to Song Xile and knelt down. She thought that if she hadn't met this girl today, her husband's life would be in danger.

Song Xile quickly dodged and pulled the man up, "Sister-in-law, please don't be like this. Doctors are kind-hearted. I just did what I should do. Sister-in-law, go and take care of Big Brother!"

The woman's eyes were slightly red. She said a few words of gratitude and hurried to the inner room to take care of her husband.

Doctor Zheng took care of the injured and finally had time to greet Song Xile, "Madam, your suturing skills are amazing. I really admire you. I wonder where you learned it from?"

Song Xile smiled reservedly, "I'm sorry to make you laugh, Doctor Zheng. I just learned a little from my grandfather since I was young. I only know a little bit!"

Doctor Zheng could only not believe what Song Xile said. He thought it was just an excuse she made. Looking at the suturing technique just now, it was definitely not something that could be done overnight.

But he could understand all of this. Medical skills were a family-inherited skill, so it was normal for the other party not to want others to spy on them.

Even if his family has several prescriptions for treating difficult and complicated diseases, they are only in the hands of their direct descendants.

He regained his composure and asked warmly, "I wonder what herbs my wife wants to buy from our pharmacy?"

Song Xile didn't beat around the bush and directly took out a letter from his pocket and handed it to the other party, "Doctor Zheng will know it at first sight."

Doctor Zheng took the letter doubtfully, and was stunned when he opened it. He really didn't expect that the girl in front of him was the provider of the tooth powder recipe.

After learning about Song Xile's identity, Doctor Zheng's smile became even more enthusiastic. "I never thought that the tooth powder in Nanyun County was made by Madam Song!"

He was not shy and went straight to the point: "Madam, you should know that I am interested in this tooth powder business. I wonder if you can cooperate with me?"

"How does Doctor Zheng want to cooperate?" Song Xile asked.

Doctor Zheng, "I know that you have a profit-sharing partnership with Nanyun County, and I am willing to offer the same conditions to cooperate with you."

He paused and continued, "Of course, if you think this is too much trouble, I can also convert it into 300 taels of silver in cash for you at once. What do you think, Madam Song?"

Song Xile chose the second option without much hesitation.

Although she could get more money with the first option, the provincial capital was too far away from the county town, making it inconvenient for her to monitor. Rather than creating resentment, it would be better to be generous and take the cash directly to save trouble!

Doctor Zheng did not expect the other party to be so decisive. He thought the other party would choose the first option. After all, this tooth powder business is the only one in the city.

Moreover, there are many wealthy families in the city, so as long as the tooth powder is useful, there is no need to worry about sales.

Unexpectedly, the other party did not hesitate at all and chose the second option without hesitation. Doctor Zheng was very happy and said cheerfully: "In this case, my lady, come with me, let's sign a contract, and this matter will be carried out according to your wishes."

After saying that, he led the two of them to his clinic.

When Song Ping heard the three hundred taels of silver just now, he was so shocked that he couldn't speak. He followed his sister with one foot deep and one foot shallow, as if he couldn't recover from his shock.

The two came to Doctor Zheng's clinic, which was decorated in a simple and antique style, and the bookshelf on the side was filled with many books and manuscripts.

Doctor Zheng asked the two men to wait for a moment, took a blank piece of paper from the table, picked up a pen, dipped it in ink, and began to draft the deed.

After a moment, Doctor Zheng blew away the ink and handed the deed in his hand to Song Xile.

"Madam, please see if there are any questions. If not, let's sign and seal it!"

After Song Xile carefully read the contents of the contract, he found nothing wrong with it, so both parties happily signed the deed.

After signing the contract, Doctor Zheng turned around and took a box from the shelf of the Duobao Pavilion behind him.

After opening it with the key, he took out three hundred taels of silver notes and handed them to Song Xile with a smile, "Madam Song, it's a pleasure to work with you. If you come up with any more prescriptions in the future, please remember to let me know."

Song Xile accepted the banknote and nodded happily.

Just as the two sides were having a friendly and enthusiastic communication, there were sudden knocks on the door of the clinic.

Doctor Zheng frowned slightly, and although he looked unhappy, he still stood up and walked towards the door.

As he walked towards the door, he asked, "What's the matter?"

When he opened the door, the person who came into his sight was Chang Qing, the servant beside the prefect.

Chang Qing looked anxious at this moment. When he saw Doctor Zheng, he grabbed Doctor Zheng's arm and was about to walk out. "Doctor Zheng, the prefect wants to see you. Please come with me."
