C5 (1/2)

Aunt Zhang's son, Wei Dashan and Wei Xiaoshan returned home from the fields. They were very surprised to see so many people at home, and they felt shy when they saw that the person who helped their old lady burn the fire was a pretty young lady.

Hearing Aunt Zhang's words, Wei Dashan and Wei Xiaoshan scrubbed themselves a little and then went to borrow an ox cart to bring Father Wei over to see Xu Jingan. Xu Hui was extremely grateful and once again lamented how she had met such a good person.

The Wei Jia Village wasn't too far away from here. In just an hour, Wei Dashan and the others returned with a skinny old man in a green and gray cloth robe.

Feng's disease looked at the old man's shriveled and bent body, and started to doubt if this man could really see a doctor.

Xu Hui's heart was pounding, but there was no better way.

Under Xu Hui's anxious gaze, the old man checked Xu Jingan's pulse, and said after pondering for a while, ”Miss, your father's body is extremely tough, her heart and lungs are injured and lack of Qi, so you need to recuperate properly. I'm a pharmacist, but I have some medical knowledge, so I can give you some medicine for your father to eat!”

Xu Hui hurriedly thanked him. The old man took out some herbs from the big basket, folded them or rubbed them together into five bags and gave them to Xu Hui for three bowls of water to eat.

Xu Hui took it over and asked, ”Thank you, Dad. How much is the consultation fee?”

The old man said, ”It's just some common medicine ingredients. Just pay the fifty gold coins for it, and you guys will have to go to the Guest House to ask for Doctor Du. He knows acupuncture, and your father will have to invite him if he wants to be more nimble.”

”But I heard that if there's a war, the doctors won't come to see them.”

”Yes, that's right, but Doctor Du is the most kind of person. If you're sincere in inviting him, then he'll definitely come. We have to hurry. If we're late, we won't be able to get him!”

”Thank you, Father!” Xu Hui hurriedly thanked him again for paying for the medicine. It really happened again and again before the war even began. If they really were going to fight, they would be on the defensive line!

Hearing that there was going to be a war, Aunt Zhang's face also changed. She hurriedly asked Old Father Wei for more details, and Old Father Wei said that the Medicine Department was purchasing medicinal ingredients without restraint. He said that command wanted to beat up the barbarians.

Aunt Zhang no longer had the mood to chat and asked her sons to send Father Wei back. She carried a small basket of eggs to Hu Xiaoqi's house to inquire about the situation.

No matter what, Xu Jingan who had drank the medicine had a good night's sleep. Xu Hui saw that Xu Jingan's complexion was slightly better than before, and relaxed a little. Right now, she could only think of one step at a time. Even if she had teleported here, in this era where the world was in chaos, she was just a small fry and she could not move the unknown wheel of history. The only thing she could do now was ask Doctor Du to treat Xu Jingan's illness and earn money as soon as possible.

Xu Hui opened his belt and took out all the gold leaf pieces, asking Xu Jingyao to exchange them for eight taels of silver. After sewing the belt, she carefully put the silver pieces into the specially made bag on his belt.

Although it was cheaper to buy the ingredients themselves, they were unfamiliar with the place. In order to quickly move in, they would need to pay the craftsmen a large amount of money, but they would need to dry in a day before they could use it. Thus, Xu Hui and the rest had to stay at Aunt Zhang's place for a few days.

Xu Hui thought for a moment, gritted her teeth, and took out the smallest pieces of silver, asking Zhou's to help him get some food.

Furthermore, she had to get Aunt Zhang's son to help her request for Doctor Du. They were exiled, and without the Master Flag's permission, they could not casually leave the Guest House.

Aunt Zhang's son only called for Doctor Du at noon. It was said that she had to run to several pharmacies to find him. Doctor Du was very busy, so they finally managed to invite him.

Xu Hui thanked them again as she busily invited Wei Dashan, Wei Xiaoshan, Doctor Du, and the others to eat first. She bought white bread and meat, since the people here ate white flour and mixed grains all year round, and only on New Year's Eve could they eat white rice and meat.

Doctor Du gave Xu Jingan a needle after he ate. Xu Hui was extremely happy when he saw that Xu Jingan's face had turned slightly red.

Since he added in the ginseng, the medical fees were naturally not cheap. Xu Hui had asked Zhou's to pay a fee of 6 taels of silver, touching his belt which was quickly being held back, he was worried to death!

Because she had just received an extremely depressing news: Military forbade business!

There was no problem if he went to the market to trade things with other people, but it was definitely impossible for him to open a store to do business, not to mention earning money by selling menu items. He didn't even sell a restaurant to anyone.

After all, the most important function of the Military was to prepare for war. If everyone focused on doing business and making money, who would fight?
