If you traveled back to ancient times, while others ate Guanyin clay, you would actually have giant

Just when Zhou Wu was at his wit's end, he heard a knock on the door.

"Who?"

"Scholar, I am your Master Zhang."

"Master Zhang? Isn't Master Zhang resting at home with diarrhea?"

Despite his puzzled expression, Zhou Wu immediately opened the door. Standing there was indeed Master Zhang, but compared to his half-dead state yesterday, Master Zhang was now full of energy.

"Mr. Zhang, are you feeling better?"

"I took your medicine yesterday and felt much better today. I didn't think much of it. I came here specifically to thank you, Scholar. I never expected you to be so skilled in medicine. You are truly a very capable person."

When Grandpa Zhang woke up today, he felt like he was back to normal. He had been unable to deliver goods for the past few days due to illness, so despite his wife's objections, he insisted on going to the county town to deliver goods. Before leaving, he passed by Zhou Wu's house and thought he would come to thank him. If it weren't for the herbs Zhou Wu had collected, he probably would have lost half his life.

"You're too kind, Mr. Zhang. We're all from the same village. It's good that you're alright. What's the matter?"

Zhou Wu hadn't expected Zhang Ye to recover so quickly. It seemed that people in ancient times were physically healthy and took in fewer medications from a young age, which made the medicine more effective.

"I was delayed for several days, but I feel better today, so I'm going to the county town to deliver the goods."

Actually, Zhang Ye had no choice. Who wouldn't want to rest? But if he didn't go out to work in the county town, he probably wouldn't get a chance in a couple of days.

"Mr. Zhang, can I hitch a ride?"

"Look at what you're saying! You're my savior now, scholar. If you need to go to the county town, just let me know, and I'll be there whenever you call."

The appearance of Master Zhang solved Zhou Wu's concerns. Now he didn't have to walk to the county town himself.

"Zhou Lang, you also know medicine?"

Sitting on the mule cart, Li Bai stared intently at Zhou Wu with his large, curious eyes.

"I only read about it in the book before. I don't know any medical skills."

Zhou Wu certainly didn't know medicine; he only knew some common herbs because he had lived in the countryside in his previous life and had been exposed to them from a young age.

"Scholar, you are too modest. Your skills are better than even the doctor in the neighboring village."

Grandpa Zhang wasn't lying. When his wife was sick before, he had consulted a doctor from a neighboring village. Not only was the medicine expensive, but it didn't improve her condition even after ten or fifteen days. Unlike Zhou Xiucai's medicine, which cured her on the second day, he was practically a miracle doctor.

As the three of us headed to the county town, Old Zhang's wife and a group of women were gossiping under the big locust tree in the village.

"You said your old man has been suffering from diarrhea for the past few days and is almost collapsing from exhaustion?"

The woman with the horse-like face said.

"Of course! I'm practically dead, and that damn doctor from the next village has moved away. I'm so worried!"

Grandpa Zhang's wife recounted with great emotion the hardships she had endured over the past few days.

"And then... tell us quickly."

It's unclear whether the woman who said this was concerned about Master Zhang or simply too curious and gossipy.

"But thanks to Scholar Zhou, who went up the mountain yesterday to pick some herbs for my old man, and guess what?"

"How about it?"

"Hey, the old man's back and legs don't hurt today, he can run back and forth in the yard several times in one go."

"Really? Is Zhou Xiucai really that amazing?"

"Hmph, believe it or not."

"No, he doesn't believe me, but I do. I really saw your old man driving the bare car to the county town early this morning."

The words of another woman instantly proved everything, and Zhou Wu's image was instantly elevated in the mouths of these women.

"Pass it on, Zhou Wu knows medicine."

"Pass it down: Zhou Wu is a descendant of a divine physician."

"What? Zhou Wu is a descendant of immortals?"

. . . . . . .

county seat.

"Phew~~~ We've arrived at the Scholar's residence. Are we still waiting here at the usual time this afternoon?"

"Master Zhang, I won't trouble you when you go back today. I'm here to buy a carriage."

Upon hearing Zhou Wu's words, Master Zhang's eyes widened like saucers. He had spent most of his life struggling and had only managed to afford a mule cart. This scholar had only been a few days and had already bought a horse-drawn carriage? Although he thought this, Master Zhang was genuinely happy for Zhou Wu.

"You're really promising at such a young age. Okay, be careful on your way back to the village."

"Thank you, Mr. Zhang."

After they parted ways, Zhou Wu didn't go to the livestock trading market right away. Instead, he accompanied Li Baiwei to stroll around the county town. Li Baiwei was curious about everything, just like a curious child. Of course, Zhou Wu also bought a lot of trinkets for Li Baiwei.

"Bai Wei, let's eat first."

"okay."

Zhou Wu had money in his bag, and he was with his wife, so this time he didn't choose a roadside stall, but went straight into a restaurant. Although it was a restaurant in a county town, it looked quite nice. The restaurant had two floors, with the hall and counter on the first floor, and the private rooms on the second floor.

The two found a seat in the lobby on the first floor. Since there were only two of them, they couldn't eat much, and the manager might not be willing to let them go to a private room.

"Bai Wei, what would you like to eat?"

"You order, I'm fine with it."

"Hey, you order. This is our first time out, so order whatever you want. Money's no object, hehe."

Seeing that she couldn't persuade Zhou Wu otherwise, Li Baiwei casually ordered two dishes, and after finishing her meal, she headed straight to the livestock exchange.

"It stinks."

Before even entering the door, a strong smell of cow and horse manure wafted over from afar, causing Li Baiwei to frown.

"Bai Wei, why don't you find a teahouse outside and wait for me?"

"No, let's go."

Upon hearing Zhou Wu's words, Li Baiwei lowered her hand that was tightly covering her nose and strode forward.

Zhou Wu just smiled when he saw this.

Zhou Wu had expected the livestock exchange to be bustling, but once inside, he discovered that it was nothing like what he had imagined.

Before coming here, I thought there would be herds of cattle and sheep, but when I arrived, there was only a small area about the size of a basketball court with a few scattered cattle, horses, and sheep.

Since he had come with a specific goal, Zhou Wu simply glanced at the horses and saw that there were only three in total, with nowhere to choose.

"Does Zhou Lang know horses?"

"I don't know anything about that, but we can compare prices from different vendors."

"Yes."

The two walked straight to a horse, which was being sold by a young man with a pointed face and monkey-like features.

"A customer buying a horse?"

"have a look."

Zhou Wu knew he needed to stay calm at this moment, and instantly adopted the same composure he had when buying a car at a 4S dealership in his previous life. At this point, whoever was more anxious would lose.

"Guest, this is a fine horse of mine. Look at its magnificent size."

Zhou Wu looked at the so-called "large-sized" horse, which was about the same height as himself. Was this what they called a large-sized horse?

"Look at those teeth."

These teeth wouldn't be this yellow even if you'd smoked for at least thirty years, and they're even missing a tooth.

"Guest, look at all those muscles. You're in great shape. You can ride a bike and pull a cart."

As soon as the man finished speaking, the horse seemed to sense his presence. It raised its tail and gushed out a stream of thin water. The people around immediately covered their mouths and noses and scattered.
