Chapter 45 Even without family, one cannot die.
About an hour later, the carriage arrived at Jishetang.
The group quickly carried Shen Huai to find Doctor Qian, while another carriage pulled the four maids into the Marquis's villa.
The four maids entered the Marquis's villa and stood in the outer courtyard, stunned!
They thought they had arrived at the place where the Queen Mother of the West lived, and met Uncle Liu who had turned back into his original form, thinking he was some kind of official.
Four girls: This is dressed almost the same way we saw the county magistrate yesterday.
Uncle Liu asked them what kind of work they could do, and they answered hesitantly.
They were then assigned to the Marquis's silk and clothing shop, and Da Mao also arranged for them to learn embroidery.
I also gave Da Mao some medicine so she could apply it herself.
They gave the four of them two sets of clean clothes and arranged for them to stay in the lower room of the shop, two people sharing a room.
All four of them were suddenly so excited that they didn't know what to do.
She now has her own bed and room, wearing fine cotton clothes she's never worn before.
When Da Mao asked about Wu Ya, Uncle Liu only said that she wasn't dead and was being treated, but he didn't know anything else.
Knowing they were still alive, the group was relieved. Although they were still worried, they were very satisfied with their current situation and settled down.
Da Mao would often ask Uncle Liu about Wu Ya's situation and then go back to tell the sisters.
After Wu Ya entered Jishetang, Doctor Qian and Madam Qian were heartbroken and tears streamed down their faces. Xiangzhu and Shiqin went back and reported the situation to the noblewoman, who was filled with emotion.
The next day, the noblewoman went to see Shen Huai, and tears streamed down her face the moment she turned away.
Seeing the beauty shed tears, Shen Huai weakly comforted her:
"Madam...it just...looks...a little serious...but it's nothing serious..."
After saying that, he fell into a deep sleep again.
Upon seeing this, Dr. Qian said:
"Madam, rest assured, I am an old friend of this child's master and senior apprentice."
She is my nephew or niece; I'm just taking care of my own family.
The noblewoman met Shen Huai at Jishetang, so she knew they must have had a past relationship.
"If Doctor Qian needs anything, he can go to Tingshan Villa and find the steward, Uncle Liu."
From then on, the noblewoman had someone check on her every day, and if she could move the body, she would move it back to the Marquis's residence to be cared for.
Xiao Qianyan told Doctor Qian that Wu Ya was his benefactor and that she would stay by his side to take care of him.
Doctor Qian knew him; he was the righteous child who had faked his death, so he let him be.
Xiao Qianyan stayed by Shen Huai's side while reading books from Jishetang.
Despite his small stature, Shen Huai was very attentive to his needs. He understood everything people said and took great care of him. Dr. Qian remarked that there were still many people with a conscience in this world.
Doctor Qian also arranged for a maid to take care of Shen Huai's personal affairs.
Everyone in the Qian family except the two children had come to visit. Shen Huai was afraid that if the two children found out, it would affect their studies, so she told Doctor Qian not to let them know.
Chinese parents prioritize lifelong learning.
Every time someone from the Qian family arrived, they couldn't help but cry.
Shen Huai then asked Xiao Qianyan to tell Doctor Qian that the visit from so many people would interfere with his recovery. Doctor Qian realized he had indeed forgotten about this, so he strictly forbade anyone from coming to visit.
After being in and out of consciousness for three or four days, Doctor Qian instructed that no matter how difficult it was each day, he should be helped to move a few steps.
In his half-dreaming, half-awake state, Xiao Qianyan was always taking care of Shen Huai. Even after waking up, he still kept seeing the child beside him.
Shen Huai thought gratefully:
Such a good child, once he can move around, let's support him all the way to university!
After Shen Huai woke up, Xiao Qianyan told her about the four maids. Shen Huai then told them to tell her about her situation when they asked.
She also mentioned that the noblewoman sent people to visit her every day and that she would be taken to the Marquis's mansion to be cared for once she was better, which put Shen Huai at ease.
Shen Huai reviewed the whole incident in his mind, and finally sighed inwardly:
Others enter the game with their own bodies and gain a slight advantage over fate.
I got involved with my whole body and almost lost everything except my underwear!
Too confident in your importance in other people's eyes~
Since Shen Huai was lying in bed all day, Xiao Qianyan asked Doctor Qian to bring some of the Four Books and Five Classics and medical books to read to Shen Huai every day!
Shen Huai: Listening to this is no different from a lullaby!
Therefore, Shen Huai slept very well. Doctor Qian provided milk and delicious food every morning and evening, and the Marquis's mansion also provided him with extra nutrition every day. It has to be said that he recovered quite quickly.
After lying in bed for a month and a half, Shen Huai was able to take care of himself with difficulty, and then he declined the help from the Qian family's servants.
My face looks creepy, covered in scabs, and sometimes it's a little itchy.
Xiao Qianyan was always careful not to let Shen Huai scratch her. If it was really itchy, the child would blow on it for her. She even helped him to the toilet, and then helped him back after he was better.
Shen Huai was deeply grateful:
Good boy, I've got your college application covered!
As August ends and the new moon arrives, the winds of September, which usually bring a chill in the mornings and evenings, are not as noticeable this year.
That day, the number of poor families coming to see the doctor increased again. Listening to the commotion, Shen Huai murmured to himself:
"If it doesn't cool down soon, I don't know if people will starve to death this year..."
"If the weather is like last year, people will definitely freeze to death."
Xiao Qianyan sighed.
Upon hearing this, Shen Huai knew that the child was speaking from the heart, and a feeling of pity welled up in his heart. He raised his hand and touched the child's head.
The child held Shen Huai's hand; both of them had witnessed real suffering, and neither of them spoke a word.
In mid-September, when Shen Huai opened her eyes, she vaguely saw Qi Luan sitting by the bed watching her. Shen Huai blinked again.
"Third Master?"
"You..."
Qi Luan choked up a little, and his eyes reddened.
"Only for you..."
"How could you do something so foolish?!"
"Third Master, it's alright. It looks serious, but the bones haven't been damaged."
"I've already asked, so don't try to hide it from me!"
Shen Huai: Really, no, I'm not lying to you~
If you keep showing me this much care, I'm thinking of giving myself to you!
"Third Master, what brings you to Panlong?"
"He came out with the eldest young master, Ku Xia!"
Fearing another harsh winter, he first went out to inspect the farmland.
In many places today, people are starting to prepare for the worst, with only two nights' worth of food a year, hoping to avoid widespread famine next year.
"Yes, the other day, Xiao Qianyan said that if things continue like this, many people won't be able to survive the winter."
This child almost did it last year...
Fortunately, he made it to the Duke's mansion for the Lantern Festival free clinic.
"No wonder a three-year-old child would describe such a chilling scene~"
I have to leave soon, but I'll be here again tomorrow. If I have time, I'll come to see you one last time before I go.
As he spoke, he reached out and touched the scabs on Shen Huai's face that were still partially scabbed over with white skin sticking out.
Shen Huai grinned.
"It looks scary, but it's almost healed. Xiao Qianyan is more attentive than most children~"
Third Master, you're busy~
Qi Luan was indeed busy; he hurriedly left twenty taels of gold and departed.
Shen Huai: May Master Qi be blessed with good fortune and peace. Respectfully bidding farewell to Master Qi!
I really want to repay him with my body~
Shen Huai told Xiao Qianyan to put it away first, and Xiao Qianyan immediately got angry:
"I said I don't want to!"
Hi~ I know!
This isn't payment for you, it's for you to keep for me.
Don't regret it. If you ask for payment again someday, I won't give you a single penny.
After they finished speaking, they both laughed, and Xiao Qianyan then helped her put it away.
Shen Huai did not see Qi Luan the next day. He hoped that the thorough preparations made beforehand would make the disaster less cruel.
Seeing that Shen Huai was able to move, the noblewoman came to take him to the Marquis's residence to recuperate.
Shen Huai declined, saying that it would be more convenient to have a doctor at the clinic if anything happened.
In mid-October, Shen Huai was able to wander around the clinic for a while each day.
In a flash, I discovered that Xiao Qianyan was on duty at noon!
Shen Huai: What's going on?
what happened?
I didn't realize this child knew anything about medicine!
I observed it secretly:
Damn! It's the same trick I used, but an upgraded version!
He only prescribed the cheapest herbs for the poor and didn't charge them anything!
The rich were even more ruthless in their demands than Shen Huai, who felt somewhat guilty when he accepted them.
This kid is as steady as a rock!
Even that expression made those rich people think:
If you still think such good medicine is expensive, then you just lack knowledge!
Shen Huai listened for a while and found that the level of skill was excellent, almost on par with his own.
I'm someone who's studied at the Imperial Medical Academy!
Is this a concrete manifestation of how effort is worthless in the face of talent?
Shen Huai: Heartbreaking!
The real disheartening thing isn't that what you've learned is useless, but that someone else's three months of study is worth your many years of experience!
Now I finally understand those people online who got into Tsinghua University after two months of self-study, or who passed the bar exam after two months of self-study.
Good boy, don't forget me when you become successful!
After the children finished their work, Shen Huai asked curiously:
"When did you start...?"
Um?"
"Oh~ you were mostly asleep and rarely awake before."
In my spare time, I read the books in the pharmacy.
Wandering around the pharmacy, sometimes helping out as needed.
After I finished reading all the books in the pharmacy, I asked Dr. Qian to bring me other books.
Then, based on the knowledge in the book, they will first take your pulse, then see Dr. Qian take your pulse, and then see other doctors take your pulse.
When you can help, then help out.
After I had a clear idea of what was going on, I went out to look for someone who didn't have money to see a doctor.
They took the pulses of those waiting for the free clinic, and then checked the pulses again when Dr. Qian and his team came to conduct the free clinic.
When I took his pulse several times and the results were the same as Dr. Qian's,
I then sought out Dr. Qian for a trial consultation and to get medicine prescribed for him.
Dr. Qian then arranged for me to see a doctor.
"So how about you take turns seeing patients at noon...?"
so...
Unique and distinctive?
"No, I knew exactly what they were thinking. I was trying to help them."
In this way, both Dr. Qian and I made money, and they felt at ease.
They said there used to be a really good junior doctor here, but he quit. Was that you?
"Hehehe, it's me, I'm not as good as you~"
"Yeah, that's what they say too. I guess you're too soft-hearted."
Fortunately, you were there before me; they hadn't encountered this kind of prescription before, and although they were soft-hearted, they couldn't quite see through the deception.
If you come after me, hehe~
"You're amazing, you're amazing~"
Little Qianyan~Little Prodigy~
We are just ordinary people, and I've met a whole bunch of people. Only Master Qi would have a brain like yours!
Since God has given you such brains, I hope you can use them to bring some benefits to us ordinary people!
Shen Huai thought about it and realized it was a bit morally manipulative; everyone has their own way of living, so he added:
"I was just kidding with you, but when you grow up, you're not allowed to use your brain to do bad things!"
Remember that? Or I'll beat you up!
Shen Huai and Xiao Qianyan had become quite familiar with each other over the past few months, so they couldn't help but speak more casually.
Xiao Qianyan also noticed that Shen Huai wasn't as polite when talking to him as he was to others.
I just felt that I held a different place in her heart than others, and that made me very happy.
Sometimes, we would banter and tease each other.
Shen Huai found that the days of recuperation weren't boring at all.
