Quick Transmigration: Saving That Cannon Fodder

The main advantage is its freshness. Ginseng only becomes valuable after proper processing. Now that the roots are intact, and he is personally processing it, it is bound to be of high quality.

Yang Ji looked at Liu Yu, who had a kind face, and asked with a smile, "Does your family have anyone who knows about medicinal herbs?"

Most farmers sell only a few kinds of mountain products, but this young man recognized ginseng and was quite interested in it.

Liu Yu answered truthfully: "My late father was a doctor, and I learned about him from the medical books he left behind."

Yang Ji nodded and asked, "Can you read? Where do you live? What medical books do you have?"

Liu Yu answered each question, but he didn't recognize many words, which made him feel somewhat ashamed.

Looking at the doctor, Chi Xing guessed that this was the person who would be willing to help Liu Yu a few years later.

As expected, the other person's expression changed when they heard "Lishu Village" and they asked, "Lishu Village? What's your father's name?"

Liu Yu said, "Chen Xu."

"You...know my father?"

He had heard his mother say that his father used to be a resident doctor at the county clinic next door, but the clinic closed down and he returned to Lishu Village to become a village doctor.

"Your father's name is Chen Xu? Did he used to work as a doctor in Jiang County?" Yang Ji stared at Liu Yu with wide eyes, as if trying to see the figure of an old friend in him.

Liu Yu was surprised: "You know? My father used to work as a doctor at the Western Medicine Clinic in the next county. Later, the clinic closed down, and he returned to Lishu Village."

Yang Ji nodded: "Yes, it's him. How did he disappear?"

Upon hearing Liu Yu mention Chen Xu's death, Yang Ji frowned, his eyes filled with sorrow.

"My name is Yang Ji. Your father is my senior brother."

Yang Ji's father was named Yang Xi. He used to run a clinic in Jiang County. By chance, he rescued the young Chen Xu, who had a talent for identifying medicinal herbs. Yang Xi then took Chen Xu on as his apprentice.

Chen Xu was unloved by his parents and rarely returned home after becoming Yang Xi's apprentice; his family also neglected him.

Yang Ji was also studying under his father at the time, so he naturally called him his senior brother. The two grew up together until Yang Xi passed away and the clinic was forced to close down.

To avoid those people, Yang Ji was taken away by the clan elders, who told Chen Xu to leave Jiang County before he left.

I never expected to hear from him again like this.

"It's also my fault for not finding out clearly."

After opening a new clinic here, Yang Ji went to Lishu Village and found the Chen family. Old Mrs. Chen told him that Chen Xu had never returned home.

Yang Ji then lost all contact with his senior brother.

He didn't know that Old Lady Chen guessed that Chen Xu had offended someone outside and had fled back to the village, saying to everyone who came looking for him that he hadn't come back.

Yang Ji calmed himself down and, seeing Liu Yu's thin and frail appearance, guessed that the mother and son were probably having a hard time.

"Would you like to become my apprentice? From now on, you can come here as an apprentice."

Liu Yu was somewhat bewildered upon hearing this.

This is the largest clinic in the county. How could a young man like him be an apprentice?

But he wouldn't miss this opportunity. Without thinking twice, Liu Yu knelt down on the ground and kowtowed to Yang Ji.

"The disciple has met the master."

Looking at the young man's thin back, Yang Ji seemed to see Chen Xu from many years ago. His eyes welled up with tears, and he quickly bent down to help the man up.

"Get up quickly. If your father were here, it would be my turn to teach you."

Thinking of something, Yang Ji looked at Chi Xing and finally saw Chi Xing's appearance clearly.

Yang Ji frowned: "You..."

Liu Yu said, "He is my husband."

Although it was sold to him, since Akahoshi has already admitted it, Liu Yu won't tell anyone that he was sold.

"You chose this yourself?"

It's not that he looks down on people, it's just that he doesn't look like a decent man at all.

Chixing was somewhat displeased, but wanted to hear what Liu Yu had to say.

"Yes, he's very good to me."

Yang Ji was skeptical, but still respected Liu Yu and said nothing.

He calculated the price of the ginseng. A top-quality ginseng that is three hundred years old is rare, so he gave it a full six hundred taels of silver. He gave sixty taels for each of the other two fifty-year-old ginsengs, for a total of seven hundred and twenty taels of silver.

Liu Yu knew he had overpaid for the price, and was extremely grateful.

They talked for a while longer, and Liu Yu explained that the village was far from the county town and that he needed to go back and think about it before coming to the clinic to study.

Yang Ji understood that he had a hard time, so he told him to come here whenever he had free time.

In addition, Liu Yu also got some tonics here to take back to her mother.

When the prescription was shown to Yang Ji, Yang Ji indeed noticed something was wrong.

"There's something wrong with this prescription."

Although one of the herbs has a warming and tonifying effect, it is not suitable for Liu Guihua's symptoms.

Upon hearing this, Liu Yu was filled with doubt.

"This is a prescription written by Dr. Li at the clinic in the east of the city a few years ago when my mother went there for treatment."

Yang Ji shook his head: "Don't go there to see her again. Next time, bring your mother here, and I'll take a look at her myself."

Liu Yu agreed, and seeing that it was getting late, he left with Chi Xing.

After leaving the clinic, Liu Yu felt dizzy and disoriented, as if she were walking on cotton.

He had just given the silver notes and twenty taels of loose silver to Chixing. He felt light as a feather and kept glancing at Chixing.

Akahoshi was amused by his adorable appearance: "Are you happy now?"

Liu Yu smiled: "I'm happy, I have a master now."

He can continue studying medicine and treat his mother's illness.

Suddenly dazzled by the scars on Akahoshi's face, Liu Yu wanted to treat Akahoshi's face.

But he wouldn't tell anyone about this, not even Akahoshi, until he was absolutely certain.

With a secret plan in mind, Liu Yu grabbed Chi Xing's sleeve and hurried back: "It's getting dark, let's hurry and get on the oxcart."

Chi Xing slowly took his hand, and Liu Yu's small hand was enveloped by her large palm, causing Liu Yu's ears to turn red instantly.

Chi Xing said, "Then let's not go back yet. Let's stay in the county town for the night and go check on the courtyard tomorrow."

Liu Yu: "Hmm? Watching the yard?" Is that what he meant?

Chixing continued, "Didn't you want to become an apprentice? Why don't we just buy a courtyard house in the county town and bring Mother here too? What do you think?"

Liu Yu was dazed: "Won't this be too expensive?"

Actually, this was something he had been thinking about for a very long time. In the village, his mother was always gossiped about by the husbands and wives and harassed by those hooligans.

Those few people today weren't thieves at all; they were just bad people who wanted to take advantage of Mother.

All these years, Liu Yu has wanted to protect Liu Guihua and dreamed of taking her away from that village.

Is it going to happen so soon? He, who had never cried much before, suddenly had his eyes filled with tears.

Chixing pulled the person to the corner of the alley, held them in his arms, and said softly:

“Honey, now that we have some money, let’s buy a small courtyard to live in. When Ayu finishes her studies, I’ll still need you to support me.”
