The princess only wants to get rich and support her family

Hu Luanfei was worried that the baby would not be cold, so she took off the kettle from her waist and poured out a bowl of diluted space stream water. "Auntie, there's plenty here, baby, drink as much as you can."

"Thank you..." Although Wawa is three years old, he is shorter than his peers due to long-term malnutrition.

The house was shabby and I only saw old people and children. I didn't see any other elders who should have been there.

Hu Luanfei felt strange and asked the baby tentatively: "Where are your parents?"

Wawa was holding the bowl and preparing to go back to the house. When he heard Hu Luanfei asking him, he turned around. Usually there was light in his eyes, but now it was dim. He pursed his lips and looked aggrieved, like a withered spring, without its former vitality, which made people feel distressed.

He dropped the bowl, his eyes reddened, "Grandma said that Dad and Mom are going to live far away."

The look of being abandoned deeply hurt Hu Luanfei's heart. She got off the carriage, walked towards him, and squatted down, "Tell aunt, where are your parents now?"

The doll sniffed: "In the cave."

Eh?

"Why?"

The baby cried and said, "The doctor said that my mother is sick and can be transmitted to others."

"Then treat it!"

"Mother said our family is very poor."

Hu Luanfei suddenly felt a sense of guilt, wondering "Why not eat meat porridge?"

Besides feeling guilty, I also feel sorry for my child's understanding.

At the age of three, he should have grown up happily with his parents. But now, due to illness, he is forced to grow up overnight.

"Take your aunt to find your father and mother, and I'll see if I can cure them."

The little kid was unwilling and shook his head.

Hu Luanfei was surprised: "Don't you like your parents coming back?"

The little kid shed tears and said, "I like it."

"That…"

The little kid sobbed and said, "Mom's illness hasn't been cured, and the villagers won't let them come back."

Hu Luanfei felt strange. There was only one family in the area within a few miles. It was totally unreasonable to say that the villagers disagreed.

While thinking, the little kid, perhaps because he was sleepy or missing his mother, quietly took a step forward. His dirty little hands stretched out, trying to grab Hu Luanfei's skirt, but he seemed to think of something, so he took them back and rubbed his palms and backs vigorously, his eyes full of endless tears.

Then, he ran back home crying.

Hu Luanfei was completely confused, and then he looked at the baby hiding in the house. The baby was lying on the kang, hugging a piece of clothing whose color he couldn't see clearly, crying and shouting, "Mom, I'm hungry..."

The only response he got was the rustling wind mixed with yellow sand and dust.

After a while, the little baby got tired of crying and gradually fell asleep. His grandmother happened to come over with some people from afar.

"Madam, I've asked the doctor to come." The old woman walked in a hurry, and a lot of sweat flowed through her gray hair. "Remember, if the doctor asks you if you have money, you must wait until he finishes examining the patient and prescribes the medicine before answering."

Hu Luanfei was puzzled for a moment: "Why?"

The old woman looked back and saw the doctor walking slowly with the young boy. She explained softly, "He is the most skilled doctor in our area. He can cure any disease, but his fees are high."

Hu Luanfei stroked his chin and said nonchalantly, "Since the medicine has cured the disease, we shouldn't let the epidemic spread."

The old woman sighed, "In this day and age, with natural disasters and man-made disasters, who doesn't want to leave a way out for themselves? Having money on you is better than anything else."

Without waiting for Hu Luanfei's response, the old woman hobbled towards home.

Lonely and desolate are the only words Hu Luanfei can use to describe her.

"Grandma."

The old woman turned around, tears glistening in her eyes.

Hu Luanfei said, "By the way, let the doctor go and see your son and daughter-in-law."

The old woman stood there, with an indescribable emotion rising in her eyes, maybe excitement, confusion, or even disbelief.

She trembled slightly and took two shaky steps forward.

"Your grandson misses his mother."

The old woman could no longer hold back, she pursed her lips and wiped the tears from her cheeks, "I'm afraid even if the Great Luo Immortal was here, he wouldn't be able to save her."

Hu Luanfei was stunned: "What do you mean?"

"My daughter-in-law got sick when she gave birth, and now she's been infected with an epidemic. The villagers see her as a fierce tiger and a serpent, and drove her into the Tiger Mountain..." The old woman cried bitterly, "My son couldn't bear to leave his daughter-in-law, so he followed her into the mountain to take care of her. She used to come back once or twice to talk to me from afar, but recently, she hasn't come. I'm afraid she's in danger."

No wonder I don’t see other family members here, it turns out there is such a story.

Hu Luanfei was silent for a moment, frowning in thought.

"Who wants to see a doctor?" The doctor has already arrived.

The old face suddenly enlarged in front of him, and Hu Luanfei took two steps back in fright.

After suppressing his panic, he finally saw the man in front of him. He was about sixty years old, with a mustache, high cheekbones, and a skinny body. He looked like a "villain".

"The patient is lying in the carriage."

He said "Oh" briefly and turned to look at the carriage. Jiang Shi just stood up. He felt better after drinking the space water. He just looked a little tired.

The doctor stepped forward, touched the carriage curtain, then touched the horse that was swinging its tail. He seemed very satisfied and nodded continuously.

He said nothing about the patient.

Hu Luanfei felt very strange.

Just when she was confused, the doctor suddenly turned around and said earnestly: "This horse is seriously ill. It has symptoms of deficiency cold and internal heat."

Not only Hu Luanfei was stunned, but also Jiang Shi.

Jiang Shi pointed at the horse, then back at himself, with a question mark on his face.

If the little boy next to him hadn't bumped into him, the doctor would probably still be immersed in the luxury of the carriage.

Now, I know how to take Jiang Shi’s pulse.

After about two minutes, he asked Jiang Shi to stretch out his right hand.

After about two minutes, he frowned.

Seeing his serious look, Hu Luanfei and Jiang Shi couldn't help but move closer to him, "What's wrong? What's wrong with you?"

The doctor withdrew his hand and shook his head.

Jiang Shi, who was already worried, felt a little uneasy at this moment, and his voice trembled uncontrollably: "Incurable disease?"

The doctor raised his eyes and played with his mustache: "It's not that bad. If you meet me, this disease can be cured."

Jiang Shi quickly breathed a sigh of relief, "It's okay."

"But..." The doctor paused and tried to be evasive.

Jiang Shi's heart, which had just been swallowed, suddenly rose to his throat again, "Doctor, just speak frankly."

"As for the fee..." he said, looking into the carriage.

Jiang Shi just heard the conversation between Hu Luanfei and the old woman, and instantly understood what the doctor meant. "Doctor, as long as you can cure my illness, money is not a problem."

A light flashed in the doctor's eyes. Although he said that the doctor was talking about money and materialism, he couldn't help but look into the carriage secretly.

Hu Luanfei had no idea what Jiang Shi was up to, but he didn't interrupt them. He just stood there and watched them chatting.

As they chatted, the doctor asked Jiang Shi to stay here temporarily, citing a shortage of medicinal materials, and he would come over the next day.

After a few more words, the doctor took the child back the way he came.

Jiang Shi was leaning against the carriage, holding a piece of dogtail grass from somewhere in his mouth, his eyelids drooping, and his expression solemn and uneasy.
