Lu Ce: "You can't read?"

Jiang Qiu: "You are illiterate!"

As a top student who appeared countless times in high school admissions brochures, it's shameful to be called illiterate!

She strode into the pharmacy. The pharmacy was quaint and she could smell the strong smell of medicine as soon as she entered. There were many small wooden boxes inside, each of which was engraved with words, and there was also a wooden ladder for easy access at any time.

The waiter was grinding medicine powder and the doctor was flipping through a medical book. He heard footsteps and looked over.

Seeing that it was a couple holding a child, he did not dislike their dirtiness, but instead asked warmly, "What's wrong with the child?"

Jiang Qiu came to the doctor and said, "The child has had a fever for the past two days. He took some medicine to reduce fever yesterday, and then he got better, and then he had a fever again. It keeps coming back, and he hasn't woken up yet. Can you take a look..."

"Come in a little while, I'll take a closer look at the child." Doctor He asked Jiang Qiu to put the child on the table in the inner room.

At this moment, Jiang Qiu was extremely grateful to Lu Ce for his foresight in packing the silver in the piece of cloth wrapped in the dry food.

Therefore, the child had no money.

The child was lying on the table, a tiny person, with eyes closed, lifeless. The more Doctor He examined him, the deeper his frown became, and he sighed slightly.

Lu Ce and Jiang Qiu were so frightened that they almost couldn't breathe.

After a while, Dr. He asked the couple, "Are you still able to have children?"

Lu Ce's expression suddenly changed.

A feeling of powerlessness came over me.

The clamor of the house search that day and the news of the deaths of his father, elder brother, and elder sister-in-law once again lingered in his ears, leaving his mind blank.

Jiang Qiu clenched her fists. She had known Yao'er for a short time, but she had been holding her and watching her die. She couldn't do it. She looked at the doctor and asked him pleadingly, "Doctor, is there any other way?"

"Yes, there is, but... the child is too weak. Even if I give him acupuncture to lower his temperature, he won't live long because of the deficiency in his body and it will cost a lot of money to recuperate." Doctor He sighed.

Although it is not a chaotic time now, officials still exploit the people severely.

He runs the cheapest clinic in the entire county. He has come into contact with many poor people and knows how difficult their lives are. He also thinks about their future from the perspective of their current environment.

At this moment, the couple is still young and can have more children in the future, so this child is enough for now.

"We have money." Jiang Qiu said quickly.

Doctor He didn't believe it and told her the price: "If you want the child to live, it will cost at least fifty taels of silver. Don't force it."

Jiang Qiu and Lu Ce's eyes suddenly lit up.

Jiang Qiu said quickly, "We have it. To be honest, we dug out fifty taels of silver in our backyard yesterday. It must be the blessing of our ancestors that saved our child."

Doctor He was pleasantly surprised: "Really?"

"Absolutely true!" Jiang Qiu turned around and used Lu Ce's tall body to take the silver.

She was suddenly very close to him, and Lu Ce instantly felt that it didn't matter whether she was a human or a ghost. Sometimes humans were not much better than ghosts. Instead, it was she who saved his Yaoer's life.

Doctor He turned away to avoid suspicion.

After a while, Jiang Qiu showed him fifty taels of silver.

Doctor He was relieved: "Then I will write a prescription and ask the waiter to pack the herbs for you. The medicine will take a month in total, and it will definitely have an impact on the child's body. After that, try to let the child eat better. When the child grows up, if you are able, send him to a martial arts hall to strengthen his body."

The two nodded obediently.

After Doctor He wrote down the prescription, he took out a packet of silver needles and gave the child acupuncture.

Lu Ce watched Doctor He inserting the needle, and saw Yao'er's fingertips moving slightly, and his heart slowly calmed down.

Jiang Qiu lowered his head to look at Lu Ce's legs: "Why don't you take a look at his legs as well?"

Lu Ce lowered his eyes and looked at his legs. He borrowed Doctor He's pen, picked up the pen and wrote a prescription, and handed it to the pharmacy waiter: "Prescribe ten sets, and pack them separately. Sorry for the trouble."

The waiter tilted his head, not understanding what his prescription was for.

Jiang Qiu was shocked: "Why didn't you tell me you know medical skills?"

"I don't know how to do it, but I know a little about injuries. The medicine I prescribed can't cure the disease, but it can slow down the symptoms." Lu Ce explained.

"Oh, how to cure it?"

“It takes too long.”

"That's it."

Compared to Lu Ce's two legs, Qian and Mingyue's lives are of course more important.

Anyway, Lu Ce looked fine. Apart from the fact that he needed to use a crutch, he could fight and work without any problems.

"Wow wow wow..."

Yaoer burst into tears.

The two of them brightened up and thought it was good to be able to cry!

Being able to cry brings energy.

Jiang Qiu was just leaning over to look, and the boy quickly reminded him, "My master doesn't like people interrupting him when he's giving acupuncture. Can you two move aside for a moment?"

"Of course." Jiang Qiu did as he was told. After arriving at the pharmacy lobby, he asked the waiter, "Can I ask how long it will take?"

"A quarter of an hour will suffice."

"That's good."

Jiang Qiu felt relieved, scratched his face and asked the waiter in a low voice: "Do you have a place to take a shower here?"

The waiter in the pharmacy was slightly stunned, but nodded: "Yes, sometimes seriously injured patients come to stay with us for a while. We will prepare hot water and rooms for bathing. If you and your husband want to wash up, I will ask the maid to prepare it for you."

"how much is it?"

"You two have already spent fifty taels, so there is no need to pay more. Go quickly, or the child will wake up and not see his parents crying."

"Okay, thank you very much."

Jiang Qiu was really grateful.

woo woo woo...

She hadn't taken a shower for several days, and her whole body was very sticky, as if she was covered in mud. Finally, she waited for the moment to take a shower, and it was like the dawn of hope in her life!

Jiang Qiu rubbed it hard, but there was not as much mud as she had imagined.

But after taking a shower, I feel refreshed both physically and mentally.

There was a bronze mirror hanging in the area specifically used for bathing. Jiang Qiu took a closer look.

Her hair was black, shiny and very thick, she had curved eyebrows, bright eyes and a high nose bridge. She was definitely a beauty. She looked similar to her modern appearance, but her hair was definitely much longer than her modern appearance!

But Jiang Qiu was a little confused. In the original owner's memory, she was very ugly and never dared to look up at people for fear that others would laugh at her. She was even more envious of her elder sister who was surrounded by many people!

But...

Ugly?

Jiang Qiu scratched his face. The original owner might have lived alone for too long and had no aesthetic system of her own. In addition, no one had ever praised her for her good looks. Over time, she began to think that she was ugly. She always covered her face with her hair and dared not see people.

But actually, she is beautiful.

There is no need to envy others.

Even if she is not beautiful, she has her own unique brilliance.

Jiang Qiu stared at the bronze lens and bowed deeply three times to himself in the mirror: "I am Jiang Qiu from the modern era. I don't know if you have traveled to my place and you can live freely. But whether you have or not, I hope you can be happy, love yourself, and be loved by others."
