Quick Transmigration: Saving That Cannon Fodder

Upon hearing this, Liu Guihua felt a greater sense of sympathy for Chi Xing.

It was only then that we saw what he had brought—wild pheasants. They live in the mountains, but they don't often catch these.

Moreover, she is sickly and weak, making it even more impossible for her to catch.

"These are what I brought for you, along with these dishes. Please accept them." Akahoshi carried one item in each hand and headed straight for their kitchen.

The Liu family's courtyard was even smaller than the courtyard halfway up Chixing Mountain. It was so simple that it only had one main room, and the kang (a heated brick bed) in the main room was where the mother and son slept at night.

When Liu Guihua was kicked out, she had nothing. This main room was originally an old house in the village, while the courtyard was built with the help of the village chief.

Seeing Chi Xing like this, Liu Guihua was somewhat alarmed, but still stopped her, saying, "How can this be? You should keep it and eat it yourselves when you get back."

Now that her son is with this man, there's nothing she can do even if she's unhappy. She just hopes that Akahoshi will treat her son better.

"Mother, please keep it. Don't be reluctant to eat it. We have more on the mountain," said Chixing as she put the things away.

Seeing his firm attitude, Liu Guihua dared not refuse again.

The main problem is that Akahoshi looks really fierce. If he gets angry, he could smash up our yard.

Liu Guihua called Liu Yu into the house and carefully examined him. Seeing that there were no injuries on his face or arms, she breathed a sigh of relief.

She was really afraid that Akahoshi would beat her husband; her little Yu was thin and weak and couldn't withstand a beating.

Liu Yu pulled Liu Guihua to sit down and said a few words to her, telling her that Chixing would take him to town to see a doctor, and that he would also hunt and dig for medicinal herbs. He also told Liu Guihua that Chixing would cook for him, and that she should not worry.

Upon learning that the two were going to the county town, Liu Guihua gave Liu Yu two taels of silver, which was the money they had saved up over the past two years.

She had originally saved it for emergencies, but now she only wanted Liu Yu to be well; she didn't care if Liu Yu died.

"Mother, I don't need it. I can go gather herbs tomorrow, and then I'll have money. You keep these." Liu Yu returned the silver to her.

Liu Guihua could never win an argument with Liu Yu, so in the end she gave Liu Yu one tael of silver.

After delivering the items, Chixing asked the little black cat to keep an eye on things at the Liu family's house so that he could know immediately if anything happened to Liu Guihua.

After that, he took Liu Yu to the village entrance to catch an oxcart to the town, where they would transfer to another oxcart to go to the county town.

The oxcart swayed and rattled until it reached the town. The sun was still high in the sky. Chixing was worried that people would get sunburned, so he pulled Liu Yu to a stall to buy a straw hat.

"What about you? Should I let you wear it?" Liu Yu wanted to give the hat to Chi Xing.

Akahoshi smiled and put the straw hat on Liu Yu's head: "Then I'll buy one too, since I can wear it later anyway."

Liu Yu felt a pang of heartache watching him spend the coins.

"Actually, I don't need to wear a hat."

Akahoshi didn't reply, but pulled him away.

Liu Yu watched Chi Xing's retreating figure with trepidation. Was he angry? Why was he angry?

Once on the oxcart, Chixing didn't speak to him, so Liu Yu had no choice but to remain silent as well.

The oxcarts from the town to the county seat were very slow, and by the time they arrived, the sun was already setting.

Liu Yu glanced at Chi Xing secretly and saw him get out of the car on his own.

Liu Yu's eyes darted around, and as she got off the car, she lost her balance and was about to fall. Chi Xing quickly pulled her into his arms to steady her.

"Are you alright? Did you twist your ankle?" Akahoshi asked him, her tone a little anxious.

I didn't see the corners of Liu Yu's mouth curve into a smile.

Liu Yu felt a little dizzy from the scent of soapberry on Chi Xing's body, and every time she got close to Chi Xing, she had an urge to get a little closer.

"fine."

Liu Yu stepped out of his embrace and took the opportunity to say, "Don't be angry anymore, okay? I'll listen to you from now on."

Hearing this, Chi Xing's heart softened. At this moment, he was no longer angry. In fact, he wasn't really angry; he just disliked Liu Yu for not taking care of her own body.

The sun was so bright just now, and you insisted on not buying a hat just to save some money.

But ultimately, it was because he was too poor that his young husband had the idea of ​​saving money. Chi Xing reached out and gently pinched Liu Yu's cheek, saying:

"Don't be angry, but you can't neglect your health in the future. You're a doctor, you know what I mean."

Liu Yu nodded like a chick pecking at rice: "There won't be a next time."

With the conflict resolved, Akahoshi led the person towards the clinic.

Liu Yu then remembered why they had come, and tugged at Chi Xing's sleeve:

“Go to the clinic in the east of the city; that’s where my mother buys her medicine.”

Having read the original story, Akahoshi knew that the doctor at the clinic in the east of the city was not a good doctor at all.

In recent years, the medicine prescribed for Liu Guihua has always been the most expensive, just to swindle money from her. Most importantly, one of the ingredients in that medicine is harmful to Liu Guihua's health.

Liu Yu knew too few medicinal herbs and medical principles, and it would be two years before she learned about this. By then, Liu Guihua's health was already nearing its end.

This is why Liu Yu risked his life to develop the health-preserving pills. Fortunately, he succeeded, but then he ran into that scumbag Wang Zhou.

Akahoshi didn't know how to bring this up, so he just said with a straight face, "You just said you would listen to me."

Liu Yu choked on her words and had no choice but to go along with him: "Then I won't go."

He planned to go to the East City Medical Clinic after he sold the ginseng.

The two headed towards Tongji Medical Clinic in the west of the city.

Tongji Medical Clinic is the largest medical clinic in the county. It only opened a couple of years ago, and Liu Yu has never been there.

Upon arrival, several people were busy at the clinic.

When the clinic owner saw someone come in, he asked whether they wanted to see a doctor or get medicine.

Liu Yu stepped forward and said, "We want to sell medicinal herbs."

The shopkeeper, judging from their clothes, guessed that they were probably there to sell some wild herbs, and said with a smile, "Sure, what kind of herbs are you selling? You can show them to me."

Liu Yu continued, "It's ginseng."

Upon hearing this, the shopkeeper raised an eyebrow and exclaimed with delight, "Really? Please come with me."

Ginseng is a rare medicinal herb, and even those that are decades old are hard to find.

Following the shopkeeper to a pharmacy in the back, Chixing took out several ginseng roots wrapped in cloth from his basket.

The shopkeeper gently opened it, not recognizing its age, and hurriedly went to find a doctor to examine it.

The doctor who came in was a man in his thirties named Yang Ji. As soon as he entered, his eyes fell on the ginseng on the table.

"When was this harvested?" He gently opened the ginseng root, revealing its intact roots, showing that the person who dug it was very professional.

Yang Ji looked up at Liu Yu and Chi Xing, guessing that the ginseng was probably dug up by this young man.

He looked at Liu Yu with admiration: "Your ginseng-digging technique is quite good."

Liu Yu wanted to shake his head and say that he didn't dig it up, but Chi Xing grabbed his hand and said, "My husband often goes up the mountain to collect herbs. This ginseng was dug up by the two of us together."

Yang Ji smiled and nodded: "Not bad, oh my, this ginseng looks to be at least three hundred years old."

After saying that, he gently opened the other two plants.

"These two are probably fifty years old, but the ginseng digging technique is excellent."
