Reborn in a virtual world, before the house was taken away

Seeing this, Feng Qingqing quickly stood up and walked towards the courtyard gate. As soon as the gate opened, she saw a middle-aged man holding a six or seven-year-old child, with a middle-aged woman beside him. It was this woman who had knocked on the door.

The woman's surname was Gao, and her given name was Gao Zhilan. Feng Qingqing had met her a few times when she went to work in the fields. She wasn't very talkative and just kept her head down and worked.

Feng Qingqing quickly ushered the two into the courtyard, knowing that something might be wrong with the child. The two were also very anxious, and Gao Zhilan even talked as they walked:

"Dr. Feng, could you please take a look at my dog? He had a slight fever last night, and was better this morning, but then..."

She was about to continue speaking when Feng Qingqing patted her hand, signaling her to go inside and talk later.

Seeing this, the woman silently followed them into the house. After they entered, Feng Qingqing asked the two to sit down, and then let Gao Zhilan continue what she had been saying:

"My husband and I only found out when we got off work that evening that our child had started having a high fever that afternoon..."

She wiped away tears as she spoke, without explaining why she had developed a fever that afternoon but only came to see a doctor now.

Feng Qingqing knew in her heart that this was yet another case of every family having its own troubles.

Without saying anything, she began to examine the child's body herself; the child's face was flushed and his body was burning hot.

She quickly used a thermometer to take the child's temperature, and it was found to be 40°C. A persistent high fever is still very dangerous for a child.

Feng Qingqing immediately took out the fever reducer and poured a glass of water for the child to drink.

She noticed the couple staring at her nervously and gently reassured her:

"It's normal for children to have a fever, so don't be too anxious. But since it's already a high fever of 40 degrees Celsius, you still need to pay close attention. When you get home tonight, wipe his whole body with alcohol. This will help lower the temperature faster, especially on his neck, armpits, feet, and palms. If you don't have alcohol, you can use lukewarm water."

She glanced at the couple, paused, and then said:

"If his fever hasn't subsided by tomorrow, I'll prescribe him another dose of anti-inflammatory Chinese medicine."

After he finished speaking, the couple thanked him repeatedly. Gao Zhilan, in particular, had tears in her eyes. Gouzi was their only child, and they valued him more than their own lives.

However, as if suddenly remembering something, he looked at Feng Qingqing somewhat embarrassedly, stammering for a long time, his face slightly flushed, before finally stammering out:

"Dr. Feng, could you please pay the consultation fee later? We're a little short on cash right now."

After speaking, she lowered her head shyly. Feng Qingqing had anticipated this and roughly understood their difficulties. She gently said to Gao Zhilan:

“I’m short of firewood here. You and your husband can bring me a few bundles. The child is the priority.”

After she finished speaking, she patted her hand.

Gao Zhilan knew that Dr. Feng was helping them, but they really needed it now, so she could only keep her gratitude in her heart.

The two chatted briefly for a few more minutes, but as it was getting late, they didn't say anything more and went home. Gao Zhilan's husband didn't say a word the whole time.

Feng Qingqing thought to herself: This man is really silent.

After the couple left, Feng Qingqing tidied up the house briefly, washed up, and then lay down on the kang (a heated brick bed).

After getting into bed, Feng Qingqing immediately entered her consciousness space and planted the Chinese herbal medicine seeds she had bought that day into the planting area. Now she had six plots, which was much larger and allowed her to plant more seeds.

After planting, Feng Qingqing poured water from the space well into the newly planted medicinal herb seeds, hoping they would germinate and grow quickly.

After doing all this, Feng Qingqing went to look at the items that could be redeemed. She currently had 370 points, which was still a bit far from the points required to redeem the items she wanted. However, she still wanted to see if there were any items that she could use in the near future and that she could afford. After carefully looking through them, she found a book called "Human Acupoints and Meridians," which didn't have many points.

Feng Qingqing's medical skills are mainly derived from the two books given to her by Dr. Wang at the commune hospital. She has a good memory, especially for Dr. Wang's book, "Records of Medical Practice," which she can recite by heart. However, she lacks knowledge about the human body's meridians and other related aspects.

After thinking for a moment, Feng Qingqing decided to spend 30 points to redeem the book.

Seeing that it was getting late, Feng Qingqing quickly left the space and closed her eyes to rest.

The next morning, Feng Qingqing got up early and opened the door to the house and the gate to the yard. She glanced at the yard and noticed two tightly bundled bundles of firewood piled up at the gate.

When Feng Qingqing and Gao Zhilan asked for firewood yesterday, it wasn't out of special consideration for them. The firewood she was using was left behind by Doctor Wang. With the weather getting colder, she still hadn't found firewood for the winter and was still thinking about it when Gao Zhilan and her husband brought it over.

She smiled slightly. This couple was really hardworking; they had already chopped two bundles of firewood so early in the morning.

She carried them, one in each hand, to the stove in the yard.

The stove has been built for three days now, and today Feng Qingqing is preparing to start cooking on it.

For breakfast, Feng Qingqing ate two pieces of steamed egg cake and drank a glass of water before going out.

This morning, she still planned to go up the mountain to check on the Chinese medicinal herbs needed for Grandpa Ge's cough ointment. She knew that the Ge family was still anxiously waiting, and if she delayed, Grandpa Ge would suffer for another day.

She slung the basket over her shoulder, took a sickle, locked the door, and then locked the courtyard gate before heading down the mountain.

Because she felt she was being followed after going out yesterday, Feng Qingqing has been silently reminding herself to be more vigilant for the past two days.

Ten minutes later, Feng Qingqing arrived at the foot of the mountain.

It was around 9 a.m., and Feng Qingqing didn't linger and continued up the mountain.

Feng Qingqing doesn't plan to go back to the place she picked yesterday. Today, she plans to slowly search outwards from yesterday's location for about 100 meters.

The mountain was covered with lush vegetation, with many medicinal herbs growing together with various unknown wild grasses, which required Feng Qingqing to search carefully and identify them meticulously.

Feng Qingqing slowly walked up the mountain. For some reason, she felt that there was still a gaze following her, which was different from yesterday. This made her alarm bells ring, and she walked forward cautiously.

A dozen minutes later, Feng Qingqing arrived at the place from yesterday. She glanced at it from afar, but did not intend to linger, and walked to a slightly farther location.

About fifty meters ahead, the vegetation became visibly lush, with some weeds growing to waist height. At this point, Feng Qingqing became more vigilant, because this was the perfect place to cause trouble.

Just to be on the safe side, Feng Qingqing also took out a small stun gun from her storage space. Holding the stun gun in her right hand and an ordinary bamboo pole in her left, she slowly walked forward, tapping and banging on the ground.
