Zhao Qiaoniang's heart was beating fast: "Guaiguai, you are awesome. From now on, we will call you Guaiguai, okay?"

The milk candy squeaked several times before Zhao Qiaoniang said, "Let's go to town and sell all this game while no one's paying attention, shall we?"

"right……"

Just as she was about to leave, she felt a hand suddenly touching her shoes, and Mulan screamed "Ah".

I saw her shoes were covered in blood: "Are you a human or a ghost?"

I saw the bloody head suddenly raised up, and the scene was shocking.

The man's hands were covered in blood, and his body was also stained with blood. Mulan was frightened by this sudden scene and stepped back repeatedly, her face turning pale in an instant: "Ghost... ghost!"

Mulan is very brave, but she is actually very afraid of ghosts.

Zhao Qiaoniang looked at the man with forced composure, muttering, "This is a human, this is a human, a living human."

Then, she tremblingly touched the man's nose and felt relieved when she felt that there was still a faint breath.

The man looked at them with pleading eyes, his face covered with wounds caused by branches, crisscrossed and bloody.

Zhao Qiaoniang looked into those eyes, her calm expression suddenly changing as she exclaimed in surprise, "You are Xiaoxiao, right?"

Lin Xiaoxiao nodded weakly and said in a weak voice: "Save me... Save me, I will be your slave."

Zhao Qiaoniang and Mulan looked at each other, both of their eyes filled with hesitation and entanglement.

Mulan frowned and said:

"What can we do? We already have so many people to support.

With so many children, plus Lin Xiaoxiao, the burden is too heavy."

Zhao Qiaoniang felt sorry for Lin Xiaoxiao when she saw her pitiful appearance.

After a long while, Zhao Qiaoniang gritted her teeth and said:

"Let's take her to the pharmacy in town first! We can't just stand by and watch her die.

As for what to do next, we'll take it one step at a time."

Lin Xiaoxiao had fainted. Zhao Qiaoniang threw the backpack to Mulan and carried Lin Xiaoxiao on her back.

The two followed Naitang directly to the town. The town was so small that several shops were closed.

Finally, I found a small pharmacy in a corner, with only a sleepy old man inside.

As you step into the pharmacy, all you see is a messy scene, with spider webs crisscrossing and tangled everywhere, making the entire space seem completely disorganized.

In the corner of the drugstore were piled various old medicine boxes and bottles, also covered with dust.

Seeing someone coming to the door, the old man's eyes lit up instantly, and he rushed over and said, "Hey, what's going on with you?"

Mulan quickly carried Lin Xiaoxiao over and said, "She rolled down the mountain. Can you see if she can be saved?"

Mulan gently placed Lin Xiaoxiao on the wooden bed.

Although Lin Xiaoxiao is fourteen years old, she is pitifully thin and looks like a bag of bones.

She lay quietly on the wooden bed, looking so fragile and helpless.

The doctor quickly put Lin Xiaoxiao upright and began to take her pulse.

After a moment, the doctor frowned and said, "Oh! This girl is seriously injured. Fortunately, you sent her here early, otherwise she would not survive."

Then, he took out a set of silver needles, and with his hands trembling slightly, he kept inserting the needles into Lin Xiaoxiao's hand.

After the acupuncture, the doctor looked at Lin Xiaoxiao and said:

"Is it possible that this person fell from the mountain?

She's really lucky. I'll see if she can still move her foot."

He looked at Lin Xiaoxiao's face again and said:

"Go get some water and wipe her face. The wound is very deep and it might leave a scar.

If she does get a scar, you can't blame me. Her wound is too deep, there's no way to heal it."

Zhao Qiaoniang nodded and said, "It's okay, just watch. As long as you're alive, that's all that matters."

Nothing is more important than being alive.

The doctor rubbed his hands and said, "I'll charge you for the medicine, 100 copper coins. Otherwise, give me a rabbit."

The doctor swallowed and said, "I haven't eaten meat in a long time."

Zhao Qiaoniang nodded and said:

"Pick any one you like. I want to buy some things. Do you still have these silver needles?

I would like to buy a set of these silver needles."

The old doctor smiled and said:

"Who doesn't have silver needles? But these silver needles are precious!

This set of silver needles I have costs six taels of silver, and there are more expensive ones that cost more than ten taels."

"What? So expensive?" Mulan was shocked.

The old doctor smiled and said:

"Do you think these silver needles are cheap? They require a lot of tempering and are extremely difficult to make.

But I have a set of old silver needles here, do you need them?

There are only a few usable silver needles left in this set, and they have been used for many years.

If you want it, I'll give it to you at a lower price, two taels of silver!

There are only eight of these silver needles left now, so I've replaced them with a new set and will sell them to you at a discount."

Zhao Qiaoniang thought for a moment and said, "I also want to buy some medicine for fever and colds, or some common herbs. Do you have any?"

The old doctor became interested and asked, "Oh, you have a doctor at home?"

Zhao Qiaoniang nodded and said:

“There is someone in the family who knows some medical skills.

I think it will be cold in the future, so some medicinal herbs would be good to have.”

The old doctor was naturally very happy to see the business coming to him, and he said quickly:

"Yes, yes, yes. I'll help you prepare the herbs right now. If nothing else, I have plenty of them here.

It's winter, and it's easy to catch a fever and catch a cold. Can I prescribe some medicine for you for injuries?

And think about it, it’s so easy to get injured when going into the mountains!

If you accidentally scrape your skin, or get cut by a branch or stone, you should use medicine immediately, right?

The medicine I have here is extremely effective. Take this wound medicine for example!

That's a recipe passed down from my ancestors. Just apply a little bit and it will stop bleeding immediately and the wound will heal quickly.

And this disinfectant powder is made from the best herbs and can prevent wound infection and inflammation.

If you go into the mountains, you must prepare some!"

The old doctor turned and walked towards the medicine cabinet. The cabinet was made of wood, dark in color, and looked quite old.

There are many small drawers on the medicine cabinet, and each drawer is labeled with the name of various medicinal herbs.

The old doctor skillfully opened several drawers and selected herbs while muttering to himself:

"For fever and colds, we need bupleurum, kudzu root, forsythia... these are all commonly used herbs.

There are also many commonly used medicinal herbs, such as honeysuckle, mint, and mugwort..."

His movements were skillful and quick, and he had picked out a pile of medicinal herbs in a short while.

The old doctor placed the herbs on the counter, sorted them carefully, and said:

“These herbs are carefully selected by me, and their quality is absolutely guaranteed.

You can take it back and use it with confidence."

Zhao Qiaoniang looked at the herbs on the counter and asked cautiously, "How much are these herbs in total?"

The old doctor calculated and said:

"These herbs plus the set of silver needles would cost three taels of silver in total!

I'm giving you a good deal. You won't get such a good price anywhere else."
