"Mother, please take a look at my sister. Her face is very red; does she have a fever?"

Only then did Qin San Niang turn her attention to the little girl. The child's complexion was indeed abnormally rosy, and her lips were also bright red and dry, which were signs of fever.

Hearing that the woman could treat illnesses, the man looked up in surprise. He had asked many refugees along the way, and they all said that there was no doctor in the group.

The child had been running a fever for five days. If he had known it would turn out like this, he would have tried his best to get into Luzhou City. However, he had already spent all his money. He was good at hunting, but with a sick child in his arms, he dared not abandon her.

"Please, madam, save me! I will never forget your great kindness!"

With a thud, the man knelt down in front of him, raising a cloud of dust.

Qin San Niang quickly offered him a helping hand. She wasn't used to the ancient people's habit of kneeling so easily. Besides, didn't his knees hurt?

"The child has a fever. Has he been caught in the rain or wind in the past few days? Has he been coughing or phlegming? And what kind of father are you? The child has had a fever for so many days and you didn't even take him to see a doctor?"

Qin San Niang took the child's pulse and found that the condition was already quite dangerous. She estimated that the child had caught a cold and been exposed to rain without being expelled from the cold in time, first contracting a cold and then affecting the lungs, which had been recurring and not healing.

The man was even more annoyed by her scolding. When they passed Luzhou, the child did catch a cold and then developed a fever. Thinking that the temperature was not high, he told the child to drink more hot water. He thought it would be like before and would subside in a few days. But he never expected that it would get worse day by day and now the child could not even get up.

He couldn't bother explaining at that moment. "Please, Madam, save my daughter! If you can save my daughter, I'll do anything for you, even be your slave. I'll protect her with my life all the way south." This seemed to be the biggest promise he could make. He had no money on him, but he had his life, though. He couldn't rest easy until he saw his child safe.

"You're lucky. Luckily, we bought a lot of medicinal herbs in Luzhou. I can give it a try!"

Seeing the man breathe a sigh of relief, Qin San Niang quickly explained that she was not a registered female doctor or a traveling doctor, but had only learned medicine from someone for a few years and knew only the basics.

Hearing her say this, the man's eyes dimmed for a moment, but brightened again in an instant. He looked up at Qin San Niang and solemnly cupped his hands, saying, "Madam, no matter what, being able to lend a helping hand at this time is enough for me, Gu Qingshan, to remember for a lifetime. Whether A-Zhi lives or dies is her fate. I implore you, Madam, to give it a try!"

That's exactly the kind of self-awareness that Qin San Niang wanted.

Turning to the eldest child, she asked him to fetch his medicine basket. The child was currently suffering from pneumonia, causing fever and weakness. The first priority was to slowly reduce the fever, followed by some anti-inflammatory, cough-suppressing, and lung-clearing medications. She also asked Wu Chunhua to find some houttuynia cordata for medicinal use, or to cook it into porridge for the child to consume.

Liu had already seen her daughter helping people. Although the world was cruel and people were wicked, she herself was a kind person. In addition, the story of the gods repaying kindness was actually happening around her, so she supported her daughter's act of saving people.

Even if we take a step back, this is also for the sake of accumulating blessings for our descendants. I just hope that my youngest son can also live a good life, and even if we can't meet again, I hope he can live a good life, get married, have children, and enjoy his old age in peace.

With Wu Chunhua's help, the medicinal herbs were quickly decocted.

She instructed the man to feed the medicine to the child. Perhaps because the child had not eaten for many days, even the medicine tasted better than water, especially since Qin San Niang had specially prepared a sweet medicine for the child.

The child opened and closed his little mouth, and soon drank the medicine all at once.

After asking her mother if she could have candy, Ah-Nan took out her treasured winter melon candy and gave it to Ah-Zhi.

The man looked at A-Nan gratefully. If A-Zhi survived, he would definitely let her and the young lady in front of him thank her in person.

"Do you have any food left?" Looking at the empty cart and the two small bundles, Qin Sanniang felt that asking was pointless.

As expected, the man blushed and pointed to the bundle, "There's some dried meat in the bundle. I could have hunted for Azhi to eat and drink, but these past few days..."

Qin San Niang and Wu Chunhua exchanged a glance, and the latter instantly understood her meaning. She turned back, grabbed two steamed buns, and handed them to the man.

"You two can have these two steamed buns to tide you over. We don't have much food left either. We plan to head south, so we can travel together for now. It will also make it easier for me to treat... Ah Zhi, right? To treat Ah Zhi."

Qin San Niang wasn't worried about what the man might do. His love for his daughter was genuine, and he would need to rely on them for the next few days. As for the future, they would see how things went.

Besides, she's not one to be trifled with. She's been eating well these past few days, and her strength is slowly recovering. Every morning, she practices martial arts.

Before going to bed at night, she would go to the supermarket basement to practice target shooting. That dark room had two rooms, and in addition to storing weapons and ammunition, there were even several vials of antivenom serum. After examining them, Qin San Niang discovered that they were actually snake venom antivenom serum, which was fantastic! Besides that, there were also bulletproof vests and tear gas... all of which were useful.

Gu Qingshan took the steamed bun, wiped his hands clean, broke off a piece and fed it to the child little by little. Perhaps because she was really hungry, Azhi actually ate half of the big steamed bun.

Gu Qingshan carefully wrapped up the remaining steamed buns and put them in his bundle. He then took out a piece of dried meat from the bundle and ate it. His daughter, Azhi, had a chance to live, and he, as her father, had to live well to protect her. A few days ago, Azhi refused to eat, and he hadn't had the appetite either. Now, however, he felt hungry and finished the piece of dried meat in a few bites.

"Third Aunt, when are we leaving?" Fatty asked, wondering if her aunt was waiting for the father and daughter behind them.

"Let's wait half an hour." After half an hour, the girl named Azhi should have a fever that breaks.

Sure enough, less than half an hour later, Gu Qingshan came over excitedly to tell her that Azhi's fever had subsided, and there was no need to express gratitude again.

When the group set off again, Gu Qingshan was added to the group, pushing a cart. He was a thoughtful man; he had made a canopy out of small tree trunks and placed it on the cart, covering clothes on top so the child wouldn't get sunburned. At this moment, Azhi had already opened her eyes, smiling as she looked at her father and asked him if he was tired.

Gu Qingshan didn't feel tired at all. Seeing his daughter smiling at him again, he felt that he would be willing to work himself to death.

His wife was killed when the Hu people came, and his parents also died. If it weren't for him, who had just returned home, even his beloved Ah Zhi would have been killed. Those damned Hu people!
