Lu Qiqi transmigrated into a chaotic world of famine. With no parents and carrying a little sister in tow, she had to face immense hardship.
On the road during her escape, while others drank ...
After resolving the issue of Zhao Liuzhi's identification, Lu Qiqi didn't rest for a while. She went to Doctor Luo's courtyard to discuss the appropriate prescription.
Lu Qiqi pushed open the door to Doctor Luo's courtyard, went straight into the main room, and said softly, "Doctor Luo."
At that moment, Dr. Luo was pondering a prescription, and without looking up, he asked, "Has the matter been handled properly?"
Lu Qiqi said with a faint smile, "It's all taken care of. Now the most important thing is to finalize the prescription."
Dr. Luo handed the prescription to Lu Qiqi.
Lu Qiqi took the prescription and looked at the familiar calligraphy, remembering that it was a prescription she had prepared earlier.
However, Doctor Luo changed a few of the ingredients in the original prescription.
It must be said that Dr. Luo is indeed a senior doctor; her prescriptions are very effective and the medicine is much better than the original prescription she drafted.
Lu Qiqi had no objection now and nodded, saying, "Let's get the medicine according to Doctor Luo's prescription. I'll go find Lu Da now."
After saying that, Lu Qiqi took the prescription and went to the ancestral hall.
As soon as Lu Qiqi stepped across the threshold of the ancestral hall, she saw three people kneeling under the ancestral tablets.
The three figures were easily recognizable from behind; who else could they be but Zhao Liuzhi, Zhao Wuba, and Zhao Wujiu?
The three knelt beneath the memorial tablet, bowing in unison with their heads drooping.
Just as Lu Qiqi was about to speak, she heard a loud male voice, "Found it!"
She looked back and saw three villagers from Tianxin Village walk into the ancestral hall.
The one leading them was a middle-aged man called Brother Lian, who was carrying a bundle in his hand.
The bundle was vertical due to gravity, and you could tell from its appearance that it contained a lot of heavy objects.
Lian Ge's face turned ashen as he strode into the ancestral hall. With a loud crash, he threw his bundle to the ground.
The three kneeling men were startled by the angry noise, shrinking back and cautiously examining the bundle that had made the sound.
Brother Lian kicked Zhao Liuzhi to the ground and cursed, "You beast! You dare to dig up so many graves, you don't even spare your own uncles, do you even deserve to be called a human being!"
Zhao Liuzhi was kicked to the ground, but he didn't back down and retorted, "If it weren't for Grandpa and Grandma's messy separation of the family, you would be living a good life while I can't even get a wife. You've taken advantage of everyone and you still have the nerve to talk about me."
Lu Da ignored the bickering between his two cousins, Zhao Lianfa and Zhao Liuzhi, and went straight to the bundle, untying it.
A flash of silver light caught the villagers' eyes. Inside the bundle, besides silver bracelets, there were also some burial hairpins and even exquisite jade earrings.
The fact that this was used for burial in the village shows how wealthy the village must have been.
Lu Qiqi took all of this in, but as an outsider, she couldn't interfere in other people's village affairs.
First, she had no stance; second, she didn't want to cause trouble for herself.
Therefore, let's just wait and see.
Finally, Zhao Liuzhi and the two brothers Zhao Wujiu and Zhao Wuba were locked in a room, removed from the family genealogy, and sent to the yamen once the village's hysteria was cured.
Jewelry unearthed is returned to surviving descendants; if the entire family has passed away, it is temporarily kept by the village for future use when repairing coffins and building tombs.
By the time this matter was finished, a crescent moon had already appeared in the sky.
Lu Qiqi found Lu Da and handed him the prescription, saying, "Brother Lu, we must find a way to get this prescription from the government. Whether or not the epidemic in Tianxin Village can be completely cured depends on this."
Just as Lu Qiqi was saying this, the doctor in white happened to pass by. Upon hearing Lu Qiqi's words, a hint of mockery appeared on his face, and he said, "A woman who dares to dream of becoming a doctor, isn't she afraid of biting off more than she can chew?"
Hearing this, Lu Qiqi was speechless. There were many famous female doctors in history, and it could only be said that the person in front of her was short-sighted and arrogant.
Lu Qiqi said, "As far as I know, there was a female doctor in the early days of the Great Jin Dynasty who practiced medicine among the common people. Everyone praised and respected her. You actually mocked the female doctor, which is disrespectful to her."
The doctor in white knew all too well the unshakeable status of the female doctor in the early days of the dynasty.
Rumor has it that back then, if you stood on the street and said anything bad about that female doctor, being pelted with rotten eggs and vegetable leaves was considered good; being beaten up was the norm.
The doctor in white fell silent for a moment. After a while, he realized that Lu Qiqi was trying to confuse the issue and deliberately misinterpret his meaning.
By the time he tried to argue his point, Lu Qiqi had already disappeared.
Lu Qiqi has been eating vegetarian meals every day for the past few days, and she's almost completely depleted her reserves of fat and oil.
Therefore, she went into the space before returning to the courtyard.
It's been so long since I've been inside this space; the air inside feels sweeter than outside.
Lu Qiqi walked to the fish pond and saw Wangcai stepping on a fish and frantically eating it.
Hearing footsteps, Wangcai raised its head, saw Lu Qiqi, its eyes lit up slightly, released the lifeless fish, and was about to rush towards Lu Qiqi.
When Lu Qiqi saw that Wangcai's mouth was full of blood, she quickly shouted, "Stop! Wangcai, don't come any closer!"
"Stop!"
Wangcai seemed too excited to hear Lu Qiqi and pounced straight at her without listening to her words.
Lu Qiqi's clothes were covered in fish blood from Wangcai's rubbing against her, and she wished she could beat Wangcai up on the spot.
But when she saw Wangcai blinking its bright, sparkling eyes, her heart softened, and she stroked Wangcai's round head with one hand.
After playing around for a while, Lu Qiqi looked at herself covered in blood and thought: Going out like this will definitely scare Li Changlong.
So she needs to take a shower, change her clothes, and then leave the space.
Lu Qiqi pretended to be angry and said to Wangcai, "Look what you've done. I'm going to change my clothes. Go catch two fish and bring them up, or I'll roast you and eat you tonight."
Wangcai, who grew up drinking spiritual spring water, was very clever. He immediately did as Lu Qiqi said, walking on all fours to the edge of the fishpond, his eyes fixed on the fish in the pond, waiting for his chance.
After taking a bath and changing into clean clothes, Lu Qiqi carried her bucket back to the fish pond.
Two large fish were seen jumping and frolicking on the grass, their bodies covered in grass clippings and black mud.
Lu Qiqi put the fish into a bucket, walked to the stream, cleaned the fish, and then left the space.
Back in the courtyard, Lu Qiqi placed the basket on the square table, lifted the gray linen cloth, and the two fish inside were revealed.
Li Changlong was holding a bowl, about to feed Lu Qiqi, when he saw the basket of fish.
Li Changlong, putting down his chopsticks, asked in surprise, "Qiqi, where did you get this fish?"
Turning around, Li Changlong saw that Lu Qiqi had changed her clothes and asked, "You didn't come back, why did you change your clothes?"
Lu Qiqi didn't expect Li Changlong to notice that she had changed her clothes, since the two outfits were the same color, only with slight differences in the pattern.
Unexpectedly, Li Changlong was able to detect the difference at a glance.
Li Changlong's sudden question caught her off guard for a moment, and she pondered how to explain it.
