Don't worry about traveling through time, she has an all-powerful senior sister to help her

Mrs. Hu smiled and tapped her nose. "Keep it a secret from me too?"

"Hehe." Shen Lingzhu maintained her image as a child who listened to her sister's words, and focused on eating the sweet mung bean cake.

Fortunately, Mrs. Hu stopped asking questions and even added more tea to her from time to time.

It was already a quarter of an hour later when Senior Sister Shen Miaozhu came looking for her. The way she jumped into the room with such joy from the bottom of her heart made Hu dazed and tears welled up in her eyes.

"Aunt, what's wrong?" Shen Lingzhu had just exchanged secret codes with her senior sister when she saw Mrs. Hu burst into tears.

"No, no, the moment Miaozhu jumped into the room just now, she looked so much like my elder sister. Now I don't even have a single thing left from her life." Mrs. Hu wiped away the tears from the corners of her eyes. She had not been so sentimental before.

Shen Lingzhu asked her senior sister for help, but she was not good at persuading others.

The latter poured a cup of tea for Hu and fed her a sip, "Aunt, from now on, Xiao Zhuzi and I will honor you on behalf of my elder sister.

You must be tired from sitting, how about we go inside and lie down for a while?"

"It's not appropriate to do this in someone else's place." Mrs. Hu shook her head, but she couldn't resist the two little ones, who pulled and persuaded her to lie down inside.

And as the senior sister continued to press her acupoints, she soon began to gasp softly.

"Second sister." Shen Lingzhu grabbed her senior sister and brought her to the courtyard. Seeing no one around, she whispered, "So, big brother calls you second sister and third sister because there's an older sister who died young?"

"Well, when my aunt mentioned him, I had some impression of him. She said that he was one year older than me and died of a serious illness when he was four years old." As soon as she finished speaking, she saw her junior sister counting on her fingers.

He said, "All three girls are gone, Senior Sister, please find a chance to perform a ritual for them when you return!"

Doctor Sun said that Auntie is most likely to have a son and a daughter, so she needs to take good care of her health.

The senior sister nodded and spoke to her quickly. Only then did Shen Lingzhu know that the senior sister used two proven prescriptions for treating diarrhea in young children by applying them to the navel in exchange for a visit from Doctor Qian.

The owner of a big medical clinic is different. After listening to the senior sister reciting a medical case and a few medicine names, he said that Renhetang is willing to buy the proven prescription. Even if it is free and requires a doctor to prescribe the medicine, he will still buy it.

However, the famous doctor was really too busy. The consultation, which should have ended at early noon, lasted until noon.

Shen Lingzhu was extremely grateful that her family could get a seat in line, otherwise she might not even get a turn after waiting in line for two or three days.

While they were waiting for Doctor Qian to wash up, Shen Xianzhu, who had left the city, was waiting anxiously at a tea stall a few miles away. "Dad, you should let me and my servant's family sneak into the city."

"If they find out, he will be put in shackles and put on display in public, which will affect his participation in the Tongshi exam in the future." Shen Huai didn't think about this at all, but glanced at the other table of guests in the teahouse.

He always felt that although these people were far away from them, they were observing him and his son, so he secretly stepped on his son's foot to calm him down.

And his feeling was correct. The three guests at the other table kept exchanging glances, but never left the range of the father and son.

When the fourth man returned from the hay shed, he whispered to the three, “The boy said that when the father and son came, they were driving an empty cart.

And they only ordered food for two people, not more.”

"The women ran away?"

"Not likely. They look like they're still waiting."

"It seems that we shouldn't wait on the official road until we leave the city."

"Going into town now?"

"Do you know what the female relatives look like?"

"wait."

"No, we have to change the place where we can keep an eye on it."

But they never expected that after waiting at the fork in the official road, there would be no sign of Shen Lingzhu and the others.

There was no other reason. After taking Hu's pulse, the doctor immediately prescribed some medicine for her to drink, which made her sleep for a whole hour.

Shen Lingzhu followed her senior sister to the nearby clinic that specialized in surgery and sold a prescription for an external injury plaster for ten taels of silver.

She was so envious that her words were tinged with sourness: "Senior Sister, how many prescriptions do you have in your head? Can we make a list and sell them?"

As expected, her senior sister gave her a brain-wrecking speech, "What are you thinking! Many prescriptions are based on the experience of our predecessors, but due to differences in people's living environments and immune status, some are not suitable for people today.

Moreover, this time I met a knowledgeable shopkeeper named Tang who was willing to buy navel binding stickers, and he also helped introduce me to the shop next door."

Not all doctors can determine that a prescription is effective and dare to buy it just by listening to you mention a three or four-year-old medicine.

It also provides a quiet and private cross-courtyard behind closed doors. What's more thoughtful is that there is a ready-made kitchen stove for making medicine separately, and VIP wards.

"I feel like I didn't do anything." Shen Lingzhu kept roasting the pointed bamboo arrows on the small stove, being careful not to touch the tip of the arrow.

Looking at ordinary bamboo products, which were made by hand with great effort and money, he asked, "Can such rough things really be poisonous to people?

If the master saw the appearance of this object, he would definitely punish us to do another 3,000 to hone our skills."

“Although it’s a quick and rough job, it has a short-term paralyzing effect after hitting the target, which can buy time for escaping when encountering large wild animals while hunting.

You've had good eyesight and are agile runners since you were young, so you'll be invaluable when the time comes." The senior sister watched over the other stove, continuing to soak the tip of a bamboo shoot in the bubbling black liquid.

Shen Lingzhu glanced at the simple bamboo crossbow they made, not believing it at all.

The area along this route is basically a plain, so where would the large wild animals come from? They must be guarding against people.

So she whispered, "Senior Sister, what do you think Master Shi will do to us because of one of his men?"

"He's not someone who can tolerate anger. Besides, we resolved both of his attempts to cause trouble, and he even gave us a follower. It wouldn't be wrong to be on guard.

Hurry up and finish everything before Great Aunt wakes up." Senior Sister looked at the time and saw that it was almost the end of the afternoon, which was three o'clock.

Shen Lingzhu asked why not get some poison needles, which would be more convenient to carry, but received a look from her senior sister that showed concern for vulnerable children. "If you're not afraid of hurting yourself and falling down, you can do it."

Well, just be a good worker and finish the work!

Half an hour later, when Mrs. Hu woke up, the two had already hidden the bamboo crossbow in a bamboo basket. They said goodbye to Manager Tang, rented a mule cart, and left the city smoothly.

Finally, Shen Xianzhu, who had waited until they arrived, carefully helped his mother out of the car. "Mom, you look much better."

"The doctor is a good doctor, and he takes even better care of your two sisters." Mrs. Hu also felt that after taking a bowl of medicine and taking a nap today, she woke up feeling much more relaxed both physically and mentally.

Shen Lingzhu secretly made a face at her senior sister. It was obvious that her aunt had taken a good nap during her lunch break and only then did she feel better.

But just as she put away her mischievous expression, her uncle's eyes met hers, and he waved her over and said, "Xiao Zhuzi, you..."

"Xiao Zhuzi, come and sit with your aunt." Mrs. Hu stretched out her hand to let her come over, and glanced at her husband to remind him that this was an official road with people and cars coming and going.

Shen Lingzhu looked at this, then looked at that, and ran towards her aunt with great enthusiasm.

Alas, Shen Huai shook his head secretly. His wife was really bad-tempered. She was still upset with him after a whole day.

Never mind, they are the biggest in the world. When he resigned himself to his fate and went to drive the car, his eldest niece handed him a bamboo tube of sour plum ice drink.

My daughter is so considerate!

Shen Huai's worries disappeared in an instant. With a sound of "jiu", he whipped the donkey cart and turned southwest at the fork in the road.

In the distance, a shabby carriage followed them.
