The Royal Family's Orphan is on the Rise

For breakfast, we had noodles made from white flour brought by the village chief and some leafy vegetables.

Shen Jiarou didn't have the strength to knead the dough, so Uncle Hei helped her.

Spread the kneaded dough on the chopping board, roll it thinner with a clean wooden stick, then cut it into strips with a kitchen knife. When the dough in the pot boils, put it in the pot.

After dinner, Uncle Tian waited for Shen Jiarou to wash the dishes, then waved at her and motioned her to come over.

"Yiyi, can you read and write? Uncle Tian will teach you."

Thinking about the traditional Chinese characters of this era, Shen Jiarou could only shake her head.

"do not know."

She felt that Uncle Tian was a little strange today as he suddenly asked her about writing.

"Go get some water and I'll teach you."

Shen Jiarou did as she was told. When the water was placed on the table, she saw Uncle Tian put his index finger in it, then took it out and wrote on the table.

"This is Yi Yi's name. Follow my movements and do it again."

It was the first time Shen Jiarou saw writing with water and she was a little curious, so she put her index finger in and then took it out to write.

Uncle Tian was quite satisfied, and wrote each word calmly and without being impetuous.

"That's right. You'll get better and better if you write and practice more."

Then he taught her how to write Uncle Tian, ​​Uncle Hei, and Village Chief, and then the character of Little Wolf Cub.

Thinking of the little wolf cub, Uncle Tian asked Yi Yi.

"It's been a few days since you brought the little wolf back. Have you given it a name?"

Shen Jiarou shook her head. She had never thought about this.

"How about this, Uncle Tian helps you get one and see?"

Shen Jiarou blinked, looked at him, and nodded.

Uncle Tian thought seriously for a while and then spoke.

"How about guarding you? It means guarding you and protecting you."

Shen Jiarou tilted her head and thought about it, and it seemed possible.

Tianshu was amused by her childish look and couldn't help but raise his hand to rub the top of her head.

"Then let's call it Huzhan from now on. You should cultivate a good relationship with little Huzhan. We will feel more at ease knowing that he will protect you in the future."

Shen Jiarou knew they would leave, she just didn't know when.

Although I feel a little melancholy, I am also relieved. After all, all good things must come to an end.

"it is good."

Then Uncle Tian taught Shen Jiarou a lot of words, and stopped teaching when he saw that she was a little tired.

"Yiyi, when you went to town, did you see anything for sale?"

Once they recover, they must find a way to go back as soon as possible, otherwise there will be chaos.

Shen Jiarou thought he might want a horse or something, so she shook her head.

"If we don't have the horse you want, I guess the county has one."

In fact, she had never been there, she was just guessing.

"Ah."

Right now, all they can do is take good care of their health.

After learning Chinese characters for a day, Shen Jiarou decided to go to the town to sell medicinal herbs the next day.

Before leaving, he said hello to Uncle Tian and the others, then left with the backpack on his back.

When they walked out of the village, they found that the little wolf cub Huzhan had been following them secretly.

But as soon as she turned around, Hu Zhan immediately hid.

Shen Jiarou had no choice but to accept it.

"Huzhan, come out."

But the little guy was still a little shy and refused to come out. After calling him for a while, she had no choice but to let Huo Zhan follow him.

As luck would have it, she met the old man from last time halfway through the journey. The old man recognized her and stopped driving the ox cart.

"Girl, are you going to town again?"

Shen Jiarou was also a little happy. When she heard the old man's question, she answered quickly.

"Yeah, Grandpa, you too?"

The old man smiled bitterly and asked Shen Jiarou to get in the car quickly.

"Yes, my old lady is not in good health and has been ill. I am going to the town to get some medicine."

Alas, he took a lot of medicine, but it didn’t seem to help. He didn’t know what to do.

For the first time, Shen Jiarou learned that her grandfather's wife was in such poor health and had been ill for many years. No wonder her grandfather looked malnourished.

Every family has its own problems, and there wasn't much she could do. After all, she was still an orphan when she traveled through time, and her situation was not much better than others.

The two of them walked in silence all the way to the town. When the old man was about to go get some medicine, Shen Jiarou stopped him.

"Grandpa, you want to get some medicine, right? I know a shop. Why don't you come with me to take a look?"

Thinking about Uncle Zhong's character, he should be more reliable.

After all, taking medicine for years may not necessarily improve the condition. Maybe the doctor is just a quack.

The old man was a little hesitant, because he had never changed people before.

Shen Jiarou didn't care whether he agreed or not, she just pulled his arm and left.

The shopkeeper, who was busy at the counter, saw Shen Laojiarou come in and greeted her with a smile.

"Girl, I haven't seen you for a long time. Today is the day again..."

The shopkeeper who was originally speaking became wary when he saw a strange old man next to Shen Jiarou, and did not continue speaking.

Shen Jiarou saw his confusion.

"Uncle Zhong, I met this grandfather on the road last time, and I met him again today. He happened to be getting medicine for his wife. I thought that his wife had been taking medicine for so long but it didn't work, maybe the prescription was wrong, so I asked him to come and take a look."

At this time, Uncle Zhong looked up at the old man in front of him. He looked to be about 50 or 60 years old, dressed in tattered clothes, with a thin body, and it was obvious that he had been malnourished for a long time.

"Old man, please sit down and talk. Tell me about the patient's symptoms."

The old man was already feeling a little uncomfortable, and when he suddenly heard the shopkeeper's question, he was suddenly at a loss.

The old man immediately looked at Shen Jiarou for help, thinking that he was brought here by the maid, and the maid seemed to be kind and would not harm him.

Shen Jiarou noticed the old man's gaze and nodded at him.

"Grandpa, just tell the truth. You want grandma to get better, right? You spent so much money before but she still couldn't be cured. Maybe the prescription is wrong."

After reading the old man's description and the prescription he gave, Uncle Zhong frowned more and more.

Shen Jiarou noticed that something was wrong with Uncle Zhong and asked immediately.

"Uncle Zhong, but the recipe is wrong?"

When the old man heard this, he became anxious and thought, no way, he had been getting medicine there all the time.

Uncle Zhong asked him where he got the medicine. When the old man told him, Uncle Zhong nodded in understanding.

Thinking about curing illnesses and saving lives and getting to know the little girl, Uncle Zhong decided to go there in person.

"Old man, I'll go with you."

The old man was happy but also a little hesitant. Shen Jiarou knew that he must be worried about the medical expenses.

"Don't worry, Grandpa. I'll pay for your medical expenses. What matters most is curing Grandma."

The old man looked at her in surprise, a little at a loss.

Uncle Zhong had no choice but to pat him on the shoulder and echo him.

You don't have to worry. If you really feel bad about it, you will be responsible for picking her up and dropping her off when she goes out in the future.

He is not worried because this girl is rich.

The old man had no choice but to take them there.

Before this, Uncle Zhong took the medicinal herbs from Shen Jiarou and paid 300 taels of silver.

Shen Jiarou gave him half a pheasant she had brought.

Uncle Zhong originally refused to accept it, but he accepted it after Shen Jiarou’s repeated urging and threats.

Shen Jiarou said that Uncle Zhong refused to accept her pheasants, so she would no longer send him any good medicinal herbs.

After some trouble, Shen Jiarou and the other two finally arrived at the old man's house.

Logically speaking, since the old man's family is pulling a ox cart, their conditions shouldn't be too bad.

But the house in front of them was about to collapse and was in a dilapidated state. The tattered clothes on the young lady and the grandmother were even worse than before.

Shen Jiarou and Uncle Zhong looked at each other and walked in reluctantly.

My grandmother lying on the sickbed was so skinny and had sunken eye sockets. If you didn't look closely, you would really think she was dead.

Alas, it seems that there are many miserable people in this world.

After taking the old man's pulse carefully several times, Uncle Zhong confirmed that the old man was too heavy due to his young age, and had not received good care of himself. In his later years, he worked too hard, which led to the current feeling that there was no cure.

In fact, if I had taken medicine and taken care of myself a few years ago, I wouldn't be in such a bad situation.

"Your medicine, oh, it doesn't work, try my prescription and take care of it."

Uncle Zhong sighed helplessly, and the timid little girl next to him burst into tears.

"Doctor, are you saying my grandma is going to die?"

She doesn't want her grandma to die. She no longer has parents, only grandma and grandpa.

If her grandmother passed away, she couldn't imagine what the consequences would be.

Shen Jiarou looked at the heartbroken old man and his granddaughter, sighing and feeling a little bitter.

"Uncle Zhong didn't say it can't be cured. You guys should try. I trust Uncle Zhong. Leave grandma to him."

For a moment, the atmosphere in the room was extremely heavy.

The old man's granddaughter suddenly knelt down and kowtowed, begging Uncle Zhong and Shen Jiarou to save her grandmother.

At this moment, the old man hated the black-hearted pharmacy and hated himself for being incompetent even more. He immediately knelt down and choked with sobs.

"Doctor, please save my husband. Girl, grandpa knows you are a good person. Just save him. If that day comes, it will be my wife who will not be blessed."

After saying this, he burst into tears.

Then he thought of something and pulled Shen Jiarou's sleeve.

"Girl, Ya'er will follow you from now on and serve and take care of you. You just need to give her a bite to eat."

The old man quickly pulled Yaer to kowtow to Shen Jiarou.

Shen Jiarou and Uncle Zhong quickly helped them up, expressing their helplessness.

Finally, under the recommendation of Uncle Zhong, Shen Jiarou agreed reluctantly, but for the time being, she would leave Yaer to take care of her grandmother first.
