Thinking she’s landed in a farming-romance novel, ...

Chapter 327: So Pitiful

"Are you hungry?" Yu Qizhe said with a chuckle.

Yu Jiao shook her head and blushed, "I'm not hungry." She noticed that there were fewer people in the cave and the sound of rain could be heard outside, "Where did they go?"

Yu Qizhe used his five fingers as comb teeth to help Yu Jiao comb her messy long hair, "Let's go to the mountain to find food."

There were actually a few handfuls of rice hidden in the cave, which were left behind by Zhou Huai and his companions when they went hunting in the mountains. However, this little bit of rice was not enough for each person to share when cooking porridge.

They could still endure the hunger for now. Yu Ruhai, who was the first to come to the cave on the mountain, had no plan to take the rice out. No one could tell how long they would have to endure in this mountain.

Yu Qizhe helped Yu Jiao tie her hair into a simple bun and stopped only after he was done with it.

His movements were very gentle, and his fingertips occasionally rubbed the top of Yu Jiao's head, which made people feel very comfortable.

Seeing that her clothes were dry, Yu Qizhe was still wearing a middle layer of clothes. Yu Jiao was worried that he would catch a cold, so she said, "I'll go change into my own clothes."

Yu Qizhe stood up with her, asked for Yu Mengshan's coat, and the two of them walked deeper into the cave.

Some people looked over here, and Yu Qizhe glanced at them coldly without saying a word. Those people immediately withdrew their curious gazes, turned their heads away, and watched his heart.

Yu Jiao crawled into the curtain held up by Yu Qizhe, and couldn't help but think of her previous bold and proactive behavior, and her cheeks felt slightly hot.

She took off Yu Qizhe's coat, put on her own skirt, walked out of the curtain, and handed him Yu Qizhe's coat.

Yu Qizhe slowly put on his coat. The clothes he had just taken off from Yu Jiao carried her body temperature and a faint feminine scent. Thinking that they were so close, Yu Qizhe smiled. The sound of rain outside that never stopped did not affect his good mood.

The two returned to the crowd, and Wang Damao's wife called Yu Jiao softly, "Miss Meng, Xiaodouzi hasn't woken up yet. I touched his body and it seemed a little hot. Can you take a look at him?"

Yu Jiao tested the temperature of Xiao Douzi's forehead, behind his ears, and on his palms, and then felt his pulse before saying, "He's showing signs of a fever."

Children's physical resistance is not as strong as that of adults. It is normal for Xiaodouzi's body to not be able to bear it after staying in the water for such a long time and being frightened.

Yu Jiao rummaged through the medical box and found several herbs for treating wind and cold, such as fangfeng, huangqi, baizhi, etc. She took out the dosage for Xiaodouzi and said to Wang Damao, "Boil these herbs and give them to Xiaodouzi to drink."

Wang Damao quickly took it and said with some embarrassment, "We were in a hurry to go up the mountain, and we didn't bring any money with us. We can only pay the consultation fee later."

"It's okay." Yu Jiao thought for a moment and said, "Be careful with the water used to boil the medicine, and find a clean puddle."

Wang Damao nodded, thanked him gratefully, and took the small iron pot to get water outside the cave.

A woman who was worried that her child would get sick after being caught in the heavy rain came forward and said, "I felt that my daughter also has a fever. Miss Yu, can you also help my child take a look and give her some medicine?"

With this woman taking the lead, more people spoke to Yu Jiao, and a few adults who had been sneezing also wanted to ask for medicine.

Yu Jiao glanced at the person who spoke and said, "I'm not a doctor, and I don't have that many herbs in my medical box."

The faces of those who heard the noise changed. Some people murmured in dissatisfaction, "We are all from the same village, how come Xiaodouzi has medicine to eat, but we don't have medicine when we come..."

"Yes, Xiaodouzi's life is life, and our child's life is life as well. Please Miss Meng take a look."

Moral kidnapping? She hates it most when people say that you are a doctor, a physician, you can't stand by and watch people die, you should save the dying and the wounded, and that a doctor has a benevolent heart.

It is one thing that she is willing to save lives and provide medical treatment, but it is another thing that she is bound by morality.

"You can see the doctor, but there is no medicine. If you want to take medicine, there is some on the mountain. Go pick it yourself." Yu Jiao said indifferently.

"How would we know what medicinal herbs are?" someone complained dissatisfiedly.

Yu Jiao ignored the man and looked at the child held by the woman who spoke first. She took the girl's temperature with her hand and felt her pulse. "No fever, her vital signs are normal."

The woman felt relieved. Chen Qin suddenly said in a cold voice in the crowd, "Miss Meng, you are not reluctant to give her child medicine, so you deliberately said it's okay?"

Yu Jiao sneered and looked at Chen Qinshi with cold eyes, "My words as a doctor cannot be trusted. Why don't you help her diagnose and treat her? From what you said, you can diagnose that she is sick without looking, smelling, asking and palpating. Your medical skills are really superb."

Chen Qin was speechless for a moment. The woman holding the girl hurriedly said, "I believe in Miss Meng's medical skills. As long as the child is fine, I will be relieved."

"I believe it too. Please, Miss Meng, take a look at my child as well." No one paid any attention to Chen Qinshi. Several women, holding their children, gathered around Yu Jiao.

Chen Qin snorted in anger and tried to talk more, but she was met with Yu Qizhe's cold eyes and a very casual but malicious remark, "It seems that your old lady didn't go up the mountain? Could it be that she was abandoned by you because of her old age and paralysis? How pitiful."
