The Zhou family does have some spare medicine for injuries, but not much, only enough for one or two uses. Since the eldest son of the Zhou family is so badly injured and they can't go to town to ask for a doctor, they can only go to the mountain tomorrow to collect some herbs.

Zhao Guihua naturally didn't recognize herbs, so she pinned her hopes on Xingxing, the child who always seemed to know what was about to happen and also recognized some small flowers and herbs that could be used as medicine.

"I still have some medicine for injuries. Boss Zhou got injured like this while saving me. It's a pity we can't go to town to get a doctor." The village chief meant that he was willing to pay for a doctor to treat Boss Zhou's injuries.

"What happened today can only be blamed on the world. No one is at fault. Village chief, there's no need to blame yourself. If you have any medicine at home, bring it over. Our leader really needs it." Zhao Guihua wiped away her tears as she cleaned Zhou Laoda's wounds, applied medicine, and changed his clothes.

"Why are you crying? You won't die. I'll be fine after a couple of days of rest." Old Zhou was in so much pain that his face was pale and he was covered in cold sweat, but he was still trying to comfort his wife.

"Don't talk, just lie still." Zhao Guihua sniffed and turned her head away.

"Ah, if only we had a doctor in our village," the village chief sighed in self-reproach.

They had been fleeing here for almost five years. The first two years were extremely difficult. They were settled in this remote and abandoned mountain village, which consisted of only a few dilapidated thatched huts. There was really nothing there except people.

Everything has to start from scratch.

First, they were busy laying foundations and building houses. It took nearly half a year just to build houses for all the villagers. After they had a place to live, the villagers started to reclaim wasteland because they were allocated wasteland.

Later, things finally got a little better. The village chief originally planned to have each household contribute some money to select a few clever and bright children in the village to study in the town.

They weren't aiming for officialdom, since even with the combined resources of the entire village, they couldn't afford to support just one person taking the imperial examinations. They simply wanted to support a few scholars who could become shopkeepers, doctors, or something similar.

The villagers won't be too passive.

Back when they fled from the disaster, their village had an old doctor, but unfortunately he couldn't hold on and died during the escape. Several educated people also died on the road due to their weak constitution. Yegou Village really didn't have a single usable person.

Watching the village chief and the others leave, Xingxing seemed lost in thought. If there were a doctor in the village, her father wouldn't be in so much pain, and there would be medicine to treat his injuries.

Mother wouldn't keep crying. Xingxing wanted to earn money so her brothers could go to school and then learn medicine to become doctors.
