Traveling through time as a peasant girl, buying a husband and raising a child

When Mu Jiaojiao opened the door, she saw Zhao Xiangyi's anxious figure.

"squeak"

The sound of the door opening brought Zhao Xiangyi back from his anxiety, and he immediately turned around to greet Mu Jiaojiao.

"Madam Mu, how is my sister?"

Zhao Xiangyi shook hands nervously, his eyes full of anxiety and his handsome face showing an uncontrollable expectation.

"Come in and talk!"

Upon hearing this, Zhao Xiangyi followed Mu Jiaojiao into the room. Doctor Meng, who was a passionate enthusiast of medical skills, naturally heard the noise and came over.

He couldn't miss another moment of Madam Mu treating a patient.

"Brother Zhao, your sister is actually poisoned."

Mu Jiaojiao saw the two people come in and close the door. She didn't say anything, but just looked at Zhao Xiangyi and calmly told him that his sister's condition was not an ordinary cold.

"What? Poisoned?"

Old man Meng, who is usually steady, was shocked again. It was surprising that a rare "Foshan" appeared in such a small place as Hexi Town a few days ago.

Today, the poisonous insects that are only common in southern Xinjiang have appeared again, one after another.

Sure enough, where Madam Mu is, there are all kinds of adventures.

"Yes, it's a poison called the Dream-Channeling Gu. The victim's body gradually becomes weaker, and in the later stages, they become drowsy all day long. Eventually, the victim slowly dies in their sleep."

Mu Jiaojiao looked at the two of them and explained the poison in Zhao Jianjia.

"Miss Mu, then, can my sister be saved?"

Zhao Xiangyi admitted at this moment that he was really panicked and felt very guilty. This was his sister who depended on him for everything, and this was the sister he promised his mother to protect well, but at this moment, he was powerless to do anything about his sister's situation.

"It can be saved."

Mu Jiaojiao looked at Zhao Xiangyi's face full of heartache and restraint, and did not keep it a secret.

"Really? Thank you, Madam Mu. As long as you can save Xiangyi's sister, I will repay you with my life."

Zhao Xiangyi was really grateful to Mu Jiaojiao at this moment. He couldn't help but tell Mu Jiaojiao again that he would repay her with his life.

Mu Jiaojiao paused when she heard this. This time she did not directly reject Zhao Xiangyi's words. She was thinking about whether Zhao Xiangyi was available.

There is no doubt that Zhao Xiangyi is a man of affection and righteousness, which can be seen from his treatment of his sister.

It was not easy to obtain the Silk-Channel Dream in the previous life, and it was also quite difficult to cultivate the Gu worm. Of course, it is not ruled out that there is no accurate cultivation method in later generations.

However, based on Mu Jiaojiao's understanding of the Dayu Dynasty over the past few days, Mu Jiaojiao felt that since this poison could be used to deal with a weak woman, this woman must be no ordinary person.

Perhaps the identity of Zhao Xiangyi and Zhao Jianjia's mother must be extraordinary, so this Zhao Xiangyi certainly cannot be an ordinary soldier guarding the gate of Hexi Town.

"Okay, Zhao Xiangyi, you will follow me from now on and I will cure your sister."

In the end, Mu Jiaojiao decided to let Zhao Xiangyi follow her. Zhao Xiangyi himself was worthy enough for her to admire.

As for the messy relationships behind him, Mu Jiaojiao thought that his relationships should not be as complicated as Xia Jin's.

There are too many lice and they don’t itch. Who is Mu Jiaojiao afraid of?

And just then.

"But, Madam Mu."

Doctor Meng hesitated but interrupted Mu Jiaojiao and Zhao Xiangyi.

"If this is really the Southern Border's Silken Dream Poison, then logically speaking, this little girl Zhao definitely wouldn't have survived until now."

Doctor Meng had been thinking about this question just now. He didn't doubt the truthfulness of Mu Jiaojiao's words, he was just confused.

"Because her mother was poisoned when she was pregnant with her."

Upon hearing this, Mu Jiaojiao looked at Doctor Meng again. This old man is not an ordinary person.

"In other words, this poison was actually intended to harm Zhao Xiaozi's mother, but by some strange coincidence it entered Zhao Xiaozi's sister's body, and in the end, the toxicity was somehow diluted?"

When Doctor Meng heard this, he suddenly felt enlightened. This explanation made sense.

"Well, if my guess is correct, didn't Brother Zhao's mother die shortly after giving birth to your sister?"

Mu Jiaojiao didn't want to bring up such a sad thing, but she still confirmed it.

"Madam Mu is right. Not long after my mother gave birth to Jianjia, the doctor said her health was seriously weakened. She endured for a few days, but Jianjia died before she was even a month old."

Zhao Xiangyi calmed down from the joy that his sister was saved.

At this time, his voice was low and his expression was sad as he recalled the scene before his mother passed away. He was only eight years old at that time.

Then he thought that those people could not tolerate the three of them, mother and son.

"Hey! Zhao boy!"

Doctor Meng couldn't bear it when he saw this and patted Zhao Xiangyi on the shoulder. It wasn't easy for these two siblings.

"Madam Mu, I don't know how to treat this poison. Although the poison has been diluted in the mother's body, the toxicity has been weakened a lot.

But it has been integrated with her body for so many years, and removing the poison rashly might..."

Mu Jiaojiao knew what Doctor Meng hadn't finished saying, that Zhao Jianjia was too weak.

"I have already given Miss Jianjia a potion that can put the "Silk-Entwining Dream" into hibernation for half a year. During this half year, I want to first nurse her back to health and eliminate the remaining poison left by the insect in her body.

Wait until the right time to remove the poison, and then slowly recuperate. Miss Jianjia's body will recover, but she may not be as healthy as an ordinary person. There will be no problem for her to live a normal life.

But this is the only way to minimize the damage to Miss Jianjia's body, but it will take a while."

Mu Jiaojiao explained the treatment method to the two of them. This was the best solution Mu Jiaojiao could think of at the moment.

"Wonderful!"

After hearing this, Doctor Meng couldn't help but admire that Madam Mu really surprised him time and time again.

"Thank you, Madam Mu. No, thank you, Master."

Zhao Xiangyi was very grateful when she heard that although her sister could not be as healthy as ordinary people, she did not have to lie in bed every day.

"Since you're following me, you don't have to worry about these empty formalities. We're all family."

Mu Jiaojiao looked at Zhao Xiangyi and waved her hand casually at him.

"Okay, Master."

After hearing this, Zhao Xiangyi also agreed. He would obey Madam Mu's orders from now on, not engage in these empty formalities, and would just do his duty and repay her in the future.

"Madam Mu, why don't you take me in as your subordinate?"

Old Man Meng realized that Madam Mu didn't like to accept disciples, but she liked to accept subordinates!

Although he is a bit old, he at least has some medical skills. As long as he becomes Mu Jiaojiao's subordinate, he can steal, or rather, learn from Mu Jiaojiao's medical skills with peace of mind.

Mu Jiaojiao was speechless after hearing this.

Isn’t it good for old man Meng to be free?

Sometimes an apprentice and sometimes a subordinate?

"Madam Mu, I am serious."

Doctor Meng watched Mu Jiaojiao's expression change in various colors, and then there was a moment of silence. He couldn't help but speak again.

"...Do you really want to take me as your master?"

Mu Jiaojiao felt even more uncomfortable when she thought about having this old man as her subordinate.

It's like hiring a retired old man from a nursing home. Between the two, it's better to take him in as an apprentice.

Anyway, I don't know what he does on a daily basis, so if he wants to learn the medical skills from me, then let him learn.

"Madam Mu, do you agree to let me become your disciple?"

After listening to Mu Jiaojiao's words, Doctor Meng thought he had heard it wrong and couldn't help but confirm it again.

"Yeah, I agree."

Mu Jiaojiao looked at his expression of seeing the bone, and said to him with certainty while suppressing the nausea.

"Hahahaha... Master, please accept my disciple's greetings."

Doctor Meng laughed so hard that the wrinkles at the corners of his eyes showed his laughter. As he spoke, he was actually ready to kneel down and pay his respects to Mu Jiaojiao.

“…Hey, no need to kneel, there aren’t so many rules.”

Seeing this, Mu Jiaojiao quickly stopped him. She was afraid that Old Man Meng's life would be shortened at such an old age...
