Time Travel: Volume 1! Starting from a Small Mountain Village

"I can't!" Long Lifan shook her head.

"But didn't you revive the person in just a few moments?" Lin Guodong pressed, hoping that Long Zhiqing would become the village doctor if possible.

"Fangfang's mother fainted due to low blood sugar, so eating a piece of candy could relieve it. This is something I heard other doctors say when I was often hospitalized. I'm not capable of treating patients myself." Of course, she couldn't say that she had read relevant books, because she was afraid that one villager after another would ask her, and she really wasn't used to it.

"So that's how it is." Lin Guodong nodded silently upon hearing this. He had thought that Long Zhiqing knew medicine, which had made him happy for nothing.

"Mother, how are you?" A hurried tenor voice rang out, followed by a tall figure appearing before her.

"Thanks to this girl, I'm alright now!" Jiang Yue smiled and recounted what had just happened in detail.

"Thank you, Long Zhiqing!" Qi Shishen knew Long Lifan; he had even followed her and her sister up the mountain today, though Long Lifan was unaware of it.

"You don't need to be so polite, the auntie already thanked me!" Long Lifan glanced at Qi Shishen, who was tall and had regular features. Apart from his slightly dark skin, he was flawless. No wonder Qi Fangfang always talked about her brother.

Seeing that nothing was wrong, the others began to leave one after another. Long Lifan felt that there was nothing more for her to do, so she also prepared to go back.

"Shi Shen, quickly see Long Lifan off." They originally intended to invite Long Lifan to stay for dinner, but Long Lifan refused. Considering her family's class background, they didn't insist, but still asked Qi Shi Shen to take Long Lifan back to the educated youth settlement.

Qi Shishen nodded slightly upon hearing his mother's words, and then walked towards the educated youth compound one after the other with Long Lifan.

"Long Zhiqing, my mother's illness..."

“Your mother’s condition is very bad. When I examined her just now, I found that she not only had low blood sugar, but also palpitations. This situation is very dangerous, and her life could be in danger if we are not careful.”

"I know." Qi Shishen was aware of his mother's illness. The barefoot doctor in the past had also made the same diagnosis, but he had no way to cure it and could only prescribe some herbal medicine to regulate her body.

“Long Zhiqing, you were able to diagnose my mother’s illness, so you must know medicine, although I don’t know why you denied it just now.”

"But please, for Fangfang's sake, help me think of a way. As long as you can save my mother, I will help you with anything you need in the future."

Long Lifan remained silent for a long time, actually talking to the system. The system had drugs to treat palpitations and hypoglycemia, and she was checking their prices.

“I used to live in Shanghai, and I saw that one of my uncles had medicine for this condition, but the price was a bit expensive!” Long Lifan thought for a moment and then said, “It would cost about 400 yuan.”

"If you need, I can have my uncle mail it to you." He said this, of course, to avoid exposing the system.

"400 yuan!" Qi Shishen said without hesitation. "No problem, give me a few days."

"By the way, I don't need any promises from you. I'm only helping out of respect for Fangfang. We'll settle the matter on a cash-on-delivery basis, and neither of us will owe the other anything."

"One last question: I don't want anyone else to know about this, even if you tell others, I won't acknowledge it!"

"I see!"

Qi Shishen dropped Long Lifan off at the educated youth settlement and then went back, but this scene was witnessed by Chen Hongjie, who was the settlement leader.

"Long Zhiqing, what are you doing...?"

"Oh, I helped them out a little earlier, and he came to see me off," Long Lifan said directly, without hiding anything, and he didn't think there was anything wrong with it.

“That’s right!” Chen Hongjie thought for a moment and then said, “Long Zhiqing, you’ve just come to the countryside and you may not know the identity of this family yet. I advise you to have less contact with them.”

"Look around, who in this village would want to associate with them? I heard they used to be a notorious landlord in Pingwu County, and they often exploited the villagers nearby."

Long Lifan didn't quite believe this. After liberation, countless former landlords were purged across the country. The Qi family was still doing well, and although the villagers were reluctant to associate with them, today's events showed they didn't harbor much malice.

From this point of view alone, Chen Hongjie's words are not very credible. "Chen, as an educated youth, is at least a member of the new era. How can we make a judgment about a person based on hearsay? That's wrong."

Upon hearing this, Chen Hongjie's face flushed red instantly. This was the first time in all his time in the countryside that he had been humiliated by a fellow educated youth. He snorted coldly and left immediately.

But in my heart I was thinking, if any problems arise in the future, don't blame me for not reminding you. My good intentions have been taken for granted.

Long Lifan simply ignored Chen Hongjie's words. She might not know much about the Qi family, but she had a very good first impression of Qi Fangfang, which was why she took action.

As for dealing with other members of the Qi family, she had no intention of doing so.

At that moment, near the cowshed of Qingmiao Brigade, close to Dongwan Brigade, a girl watched a hunched figure working hard, and tears streamed down her face.

Then another hunched figure emerged from the cowshed. It was an old woman. She slowly walked up to the old man from before and said softly, "Old Jiang, slow down, don't hurt yourself."

"Why did you come out? You're not fully recovered yet. Go inside and rest for a while. I can finish this work by myself." The old man felt sorry for his wife, and the wife also felt sorry for her husband.

"I feel much better!"

They were both university professors, but because of their overseas study experience in their youth, they were sent to this place. Thinking of her husband, the dean of the college, a once respectable man, now forced to do menial tasks like emptying latrines and shoveling urine, she felt incredibly distressed.

She fell seriously ill before the Lunar New Year and has not recovered yet, so all the dirty and tiring work has to fall on the old man's shoulders.

Fortunately, they severed ties with their children beforehand; otherwise, their children would have been implicated, and they wouldn't know how their children are doing.

"Grandpa, Grandma!" After confirming that no one was nearby, Jiang Nian'an finally couldn't help but call out.

"Old man, why do I hear An'an's voice?" the old woman asked her husband in confusion.

"I think I heard it, too."

"Grandpa and Grandma, I've finally found you!" Jiang Nian'an cried as she ran over. The elderly couple looked up and saw a figure rushing towards them, following the direction of the voice.

"An'an"

"An'an"

Neither of them could believe that their beloved granddaughter had appeared before them, and they were instantly overwhelmed with emotion, tears welling up in their eyes. Suddenly, remembering their predicament, they snapped, "What are you doing here? Is this a place for you?"

"Grandpa and Grandma, I miss you so much!"

"You..." Upon hearing this, Old Man Jiang swallowed his words of reproach.

"Alright, this isn't the place to talk. Let's go inside and talk!" Grandma Jiang glanced around to make sure no one was watching before leading her granddaughter inside.
