Transmigrated into a seven-year-old child, my fate is in my own hands, not in the heavens.

"Old man, the salt is here."

Doctor Liang took the earthenware bowl, poured in some warm water, stirred it with his finger, and then took a piece of cloth, moistened it with salt water, and began to wipe Liang Hu's hands.

After wiping it back and forth a few times, Shi took the ceramic bowl away.

"All right."

Doctor Liang had his grandson sit to the side, and then he prepared medicine for Madam Hong.

Zhao Lian had expected Doctor Liang to treat Liang Hu's wound in a certain way, but to her surprise, he only disinfected it with saline solution.

"Woooooooo..."

Liang Hu, who was standing nearby, started crying again, clutching his hand and sobbing, "Grandpa, my hand is still itchy and hurting."

Mrs. Shi quickly came over to check her grandson's hand again, and saw that Liang Hu's hand was even more swollen than before, with blisters and a white spot where he had been bitten.

Mrs. Shi stamped her feet anxiously: "Old man, applying that salt water won't help. Look, Tiger's hand is even more swollen now."

"Ouch~"

Madam Hong leaned closer to take a look and was immediately surprised, her eyes widening: "Dr. Liang, it's true, your grandson's hand is even more swollen now."

"Woooooooo..."

Liang Hu cried out loudly, "Grandma, my hand hurts so much."

Dr. Liang frowned. He had thought that disinfecting the area with salt water would gradually reduce the swelling from the wasp sting.

But to his surprise, his grandson's wound swelled up again, and he had no other choice at the moment.

Shi stamped her feet and said, "Old man, you have to think of something!"

Dr. Liang said with a stern face, "Stop shouting, I was just thinking about it!"

Seeing that Madam Hong was here, and he, a doctor, was helpless when his grandson was stung by wasps, where would he put his face if word got out?

Zhao Lian looked at Doctor Liang, knowing he had no better solution, and said earnestly, "Doctor Liang, I have some medicine that can alleviate the symptoms."

"What? You have medicine?"

Doctor Liang stared at Zhao Lian in disbelief, hardly able to believe his ears. He had indeed just heard Zhao Lian say that she had medicine in her hand.

"Where is your medicine?" Dr. Liang asked uncertainly.

"There it is!"

After saying that, Zhao Lian bent down, picked up the sea gold sand, and waved it in her hand.

"This is it?" Doctor Liang asked, half believing it.

“That’s right!” Zhao Lian nodded, then tore off a few leaves and handed them to Doctor Liang: “Doctor Liang, crush this stuff and apply it to his hands, apply it several times!”

Doctor Liang took the leaf and examined it over and over. Although he was skeptical, seeing Zhao Lian's serious expression, he began to waver.

Since we have no other choice right now, we might as well try anything, and this stuff isn't for internal use, so it won't hurt to give it a shot.

"Old woman, take this and try it." With that, Doctor Liang handed the leaf to Mrs. Shi.

Liang Hu shook his head and shouted, "I don't want it! I don't want this jinx! She'll poison me!"

"You brat, what nonsense are you spouting?"

Shi got angry at this point and slapped him.

"Waaah..." Liang Hu cried in grievance.

Seeing Liang Hu crying and sobbing, Zhao Lian looked at him with disdain: "What's a man like you crying for! It's shameful."

Liang Hu was furious: "It's all your fault, you jinx! You made me get stung by wasps. Anyone who gets involved with you is unlucky. No wonder He Dong and the others don't want to play with you."

"If you keep cursing, I'll take the medicine away!" Zhao Lian said, stepping forward to snatch the medicine from Shi's hand.

Mrs. Shi looked anxious: "Oh my god, please stop cursing!"

Then, Shi smiled and said to her, "Zhaolian, don't be angry, don't take it to heart."

"Of course, I'm only doing this because of Doctor Liang, otherwise I would have left long ago." Zhao Lian was just saying this for show.

She knew that Liang Hu was just a child of a few years old, so of course he would speak recklessly. Besides, he often played with He Yue'e and the others. As the saying goes, "One who stays near vermilion gets stained red, and one who stays near ink gets stained black."

Besides, Doctor Liang had helped her a great deal and given her more than one tael of silver. She would never forget this kindness.

However, she also wanted to teach Liang Hu a lesson and make him suffer a loss so that he would remember it.

After applying the medicine several times, the bump on Liang Hu's hand visibly subsided and became less red.

At this point, Liang Hu stopped shouting like he had at the beginning.

"Tiger, are you feeling better?" Mrs. Shi asked anxiously.

"Hmm~"

Liang Hu nodded: "It doesn't hurt as much anymore, and it doesn't itch anymore."

Doctor Liang now truly believed Zhao Lian's words. He never imagined that she knew so much at such a young age.

Even Madam Hong, who was standing to the side, was extremely surprised: "Zhao Lian, you little girl are quite something, how do you know this?"

Doctor Liang stood up, pulled Zhao Lian into the courtyard, and whispered, "Zhao Lian, what other effects does that sea gold sand you mentioned have?"

Zhao Lian knew that Doctor Liang had pulled her into the courtyard because he didn't want Madam Hong to know too much.

In order to avoid the rumors that he, a doctor, knew less than a little girl, how could Doctor Liang save face then?

"This is called Lygodium japonicum, it's a treasure, and this medicine is also a diuretic and can relieve urinary tract infections," Zhao Lian said, stopping short of commenting.

She believed that Dr. Liang should understand after she had said all that.

Actually, he could add this ingredient to Butcher Luo's medicine, and the effect would be even better.

"Okay!" Doctor Liang nodded. He had no doubt now, because Zhao Lian could actually use such professional terminology.

However, he was also a little curious that Zhao Lian knew so much at such a young age.

Unable to contain his excitement, Dr. Liang said to Zhao Lian, "Give me this medicine. I'll weigh it for you right away, according to the price of motherwort."

In the end, the sea ginseng only sold for 3 coins, plus the 18 coins from selling motherwort, for a total of 21 coins.

After leaving Dr. Liang's place, Zhao Lian looked up at the sun. The sun was almost directly overhead, so it was probably past 11 a.m.

The lack of time was a bit frustrating for Zhao Lian. In ancient times, the only way to know the approximate time was by looking at the sun, unlike modern times with clocks.

Zhao Lian glanced in the direction of the He family's house, touching the black pancake in her arms. She wanted to see if Zhao Feng and the others were home, and if she saw them, she would give them a pancake.

Thinking of this, Zhao Lian walked towards the He family's house.

At this time, wisps of smoke rose from many rooftops, and people in the fields gradually returned. On the road, when Zhaolian saw familiar faces, she nodded and greeted them.

Zhao Lian, dressed in tattered clothes and carrying a large basket on her back, received many pitying glances from people along the way.

Zhao Lian knew that in these people's eyes, they all felt sorry for her, having severed ties with the He family at such a young age.

What they didn't know was that she was overjoyed to be free from the He family; she even wanted to sing a song to celebrate!
