She's skilled in medicine, martial arts, and even understands animal language—the abandoned dau

Just as Shen Man was about to ask the animals for help in dealing with those hateful officials, her mother, Lanxiang, took her hand, pulled her back into the courtyard, and then closed the gate.

"Mom, I want to avenge Grandpa Village Head!" Shen Man shook off Lanxiang's hand, clenched her two little hands into fists, and said in a fierce but cute way.

"Man'er, Mother knows what you're trying to do, but you're too young to deal with them!"

“But…” Shen Man wanted to say something more, but was interrupted by Lanxiang.

"Listen to your mother, Man'er." Lanxiang squatted down and put her hands on Shen Man's shoulders. "What we need to do now is protect ourselves. A gentleman takes revenge even after ten years."

Shen Man bit her lip, looking at Lanxiang with a determined gaze: "Mother, I understand. I will definitely make those bad people get the punishment they deserve!"

Lanxiang patted Shen Man's head and nodded with a smile: "Yes, Mother believes in Man'er. But now, we need to think of a way to get through this."

Shen Man nestled in Lanxiang's arms and asked softly, "Mother, what should we do next? Are we just going to stand by and watch Grandpa Village Head be bullied?"

After a moment of contemplation, Lanxiang said, "Mother has saved some money by selling embroidery these past two years. After those people leave, we'll take it to the village head's house so they can use it to treat his injuries. Sigh, I've heard that doctors in town charge a lot for medical care. I don't know if the village head's family can afford it..."

Upon hearing this, Shen Man asked curiously, "Mother, are there no doctors around here? I heard it's about twenty or thirty li from here to the town. How can we get there with the village head so badly injured?"

"There's nothing we can do about it. There isn't a single doctor in any of the surrounding villages," Lanxiang sighed. "We country folk can get over minor illnesses on their own in a few days, but we don't have the money to treat serious illnesses. We can only leave it to fate. Sigh!"

"Mother, I know some medicinal herbs. Take me up the mountain now, and I'll treat Grandpa Village Head!" Shen Man said after hesitating for a moment.

She originally planned to wait a few years before revealing her medical skills to Lanxiang, but saving lives was the priority now, and she couldn't worry about that anymore.

Lanxiang listened to Shen Man's words without any doubt and immediately said to her, "Okay, let's go quickly then."

As she spoke, she found a basket in the house, and the mother and daughter headed towards the mountain behind the village.

Along the way, Shen Man carefully searched for medicinal herbs.

She recognized many common herbs, such as mugwort, dandelion, and honeysuckle. The best medicines for treating external injuries were Bletilla striata and Sanguisorba officinalis.

Fortunately, many medicinal herbs grow on the mountain behind Xiaoyao Village. Soon, she found several Bletilla striata and Sanguisorba officinalis plants.

After descending the mountain, the mother and daughter went directly to the village head's house.

Meanwhile, the village head and his family were sighing and lamenting around their unconscious village head.

Especially the village head's wife, a woman who is usually so straightforward, had swollen eyes from crying today.

"Grandma Sun, don't cry. My mother and I just went up the mountain to pick some herbs. We'll mash them up and apply them to Grandpa Village Chief. He'll get better soon!" Shen Man walked up to the village chief's wife and gently comforted her.

“Man’er, Grandma knows you feel sorry for Grandpa, but you’re so young, how would you know how to treat injuries? Your Uncle Changsheng has already gone to town to fetch a doctor. You and your mother should go back first.” Changsheng is the eldest son of the village head.

Shen Man ignored Madam Sun and had the young man from the Changsheng family fetch a bowl. She washed and crushed the herbs she had gathered and then gently applied them to Li Zheng's wound. Her movements were gentle and skillful, like those of an experienced healer.

The village head's family was astonished by what they saw. They knew the little girl had some special abilities, but they never expected she could also heal injuries.

Seeing that the bleeding from the village head's wounds had stopped, they finally believed Shen Man's words.

They were moved to tears and thanked Lanxiang and Shenman repeatedly. Lanxiang smiled and waved her hand, indicating that it was what they should do.

Shen Man silently prayed that these herbs would help the village head recover as soon as possible.

"Grandma Sun, if Grandpa Lizheng gets a fever tonight, remember to give him some gypsum water to drink and wipe his body with a cold towel. I'll come to see him again tomorrow morning!" Shen Man reminded him before leaving.

The village head and his family nodded repeatedly, filled with gratitude towards Shen Man.

As night fell, the village head's wound began to burn. Following Shen Man's instructions, Sun gave him some plaster solution and wiped his body with a damp towel. The village head's high fever gradually subsided, and his breathing became much more stable.

At dawn the next day, as the first rays of sunlight appeared, the doctor who had traveled a long way from town finally arrived at the village head's house.

Although the doctor was advanced in years, he was still vigorous and had sharp eyes. He first carefully examined the healing of the village head's wounds, then gently placed his fingers on the village head's wrist and began to carefully take his pulse and diagnose him.

After a moment, the doctor released his grip and said to Changsheng, who was standing anxiously waiting for the results, "Young man, you urged me to come so urgently, but your father's injuries are not as critical as you say!"

"If I had known there was a doctor in your village who could handle this, I wouldn't have had to travel all this way. The journey was long and the roads were incredibly rugged; it's been a real ordeal!"

Hearing the old doctor's words, Changsheng felt extremely wronged and helpless.

He quickly explained, "Dr. Yu, please don't blame me. It's just that our village is in a remote area, and when we get sick, we can only rely on some simple herbal remedies to treat ourselves. We don't have any doctors here. My father was seriously injured this time, and I was extremely anxious, so I rushed to town overnight to ask you for help!"

However, to Changsheng's great surprise, after a night of rest, his father's injuries had improved significantly.

The once hideous wounds have now begun to heal and scab over, and his face is no longer as pale and bloodless as it was yesterday.

Watching his father gradually recover, Changsheng felt both joy and confusion, wondering what could have caused such a miraculous change.

Just then, Shen Man arrived at the village head's house.

She saw that the village head's complexion had improved a lot, and she couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief. She carefully examined the village head's wound and found that it was healing well.

"Grandpa Village Head will be fully recovered in a few days," Shen Man said happily to everyone in the room.

From the moment Shen Man entered the room, Dr. Yu was immediately drawn to this round and adorable little dumpling.

He never expected that there would be such a beautiful girl in this poor mountain village. Hearing her speak like this, he became even more curious.

"Little one, how do you know he'll be fully recovered in a few days?" Dr. Yu asked.

“I am a doctor,” Shen Man said, blinking her big eyes. “Yesterday, the village head used the herbs I picked for him.”

Doctor Yu and Changsheng were both stunned; they never imagined that Shen Man, at such a young age, would possess medical skills.

Doctor Yu burst into laughter, "Little one, you're quite amusing. But talk is cheap; you have to show me your skills. Tell me, what medicine did you give him yesterday?"

Shen Man smiled mischievously, found the bowl used for grinding medicine yesterday, and handed it to Doctor Yu. "I'll test you too, to see if you're a real doctor or a fake one. Guess what medicine I used!"

Seeing Shen Man's arrogant and ignorant attitude, everyone couldn't help but feel worried for her.

Doctor Yu is a renowned doctor in Qiufeng Town. Even the richest man in Qiufeng Town, Master Zhu, has to show him respect.

Shen Man, that little girl, actually dared to give him a test. She's truly a fearless young calf!

However, Dr. Yu, an experienced and highly skilled physician, developed a strong interest in the elfin-like little baby before him.

He slowly reached out and carefully took the porcelain bowl containing the remaining dregs of medicine. He then gently brought it close to his nose, closed his eyes, and focused intently on the aroma emanating from the bowl.

Suddenly, he opened his eyes wide, a look of astonishment appearing on his previously calm face: "This is... Bletilla striata and Sanguisorba officinalis?"

Upon hearing this, Shen Man, who was standing next to Dr. Yu, nodded slightly in affirmation: "Dr. Yu is amazing, he can tell just by smelling it!"

Doctor Yu stroked his beard, a hint of admiration flashing in his eyes. "I didn't expect you, little one, to actually have some talent. I see you have good potential; would you like to learn medicine from me?"

After saying that, he looked at Shen Man with anticipation, as if waiting for her to give him a satisfactory answer.
