Li Xia quickly packed up the medicinal herbs that were drying in the yard.

She looked around the small house where she lived, which could be described as bare and empty.

Even rats would retreat when they came here.

Those officers and soldiers who eat delicious food and drink spicy drinks every day would be unwilling to set foot in the house after seeing the scene in it.

Then all the work I just did seemed a bit unnecessary.

"Forget it. In today's world, it's never a bad thing to be more careful. Even if it's all in vain, it's better than getting nothing in the end. What if those officers and soldiers don't follow common sense and take away the few medicinal herbs here? That would be like throwing meat buns at dogs, and there would be no return."

Li Xia blinked, lowered her eyes to look at the herbs she had sorted out in her hands, and muttered a few words to herself.

As the saying goes, the most dangerous place is also the safest place.

Li Xia casually placed the medicinal herbs in the most conspicuous place in the yard.

She didn't hide it.

My move is called doing the opposite.

No one would place the most precious thing so casually where everyone can see it.

That’s what Li Xia thought of.

I decided to take the risk.

Anyway, she was prepared for the worst.

If we are really discovered by sharp-eyed officers and soldiers, the worst that can happen is that we just give it to them.

I just put it there openly and didn't hide it.

Even if those people wanted to accuse her of a crime, they would not be able to find a reason or excuse after she did this.

Even if they were soldiers and officers who were paid by the emperor.

To convict someone of a crime, one needs a charge.

I didn't keep it for myself, so what crime have I committed?

“Boom boom boom—”

"Doctor Xiao Li."

Li Xia had just finished dealing with the herbs when her door was knocked again.

She heard a familiar voice from someone in the village, so she took a step forward and walked behind the door in a few steps.

"Grandma Wang, what's the matter?" Li Xia opened the door, licked her lips, and said with her mouth open, "But your leg disease is acting up again?"

She carefully observed that when Grandma Wang lifted her legs to climb the stone steps, her movements were somewhat stiff.

So Li Xia thought that Grandma Wang's old illness had recurred.

Grandma Wang’s leg disease was caused by overwork when she was young, which left a root of the disease.

After many years, there is no cure.

Even though Li Xia searched through all the medical books, he could only treat the symptoms and not the root cause.

She is neither Bian Que nor Hua Tuo.

We can only try to alleviate Grandma Wang’s physical pain, but we cannot completely heal her.

But even so, Grandma Wang was very grateful to Li Xia.

After all, Wang lost her husband in middle age and had no children. Although she had several daughters, after they grew up, they all married and moved to other villages and stockades, and they seldom came back a few times a year.

But the world is not peaceful today.

There was war everywhere and many ordinary people were homeless.

The mother and daughter will never see each other again.

In recent years, Grandma Wang has grown old and her legs and feet have become less and less agile.

Sometimes my legs hurt so much that I can’t sleep all night.

Grandma Wang wants to have a slightly better quality of life in her old age.

He has spent all his savings on treating his leg.

But the final effect was minimal.

In today's chaotic world, everyone is in danger.

Doctors no longer take it as their responsibility to save lives and heal the wounded.

Now that Grandma Wang had no money left, the doctor could no longer provide her with treatment.

She had to give up.

The following results are obvious.

The situation is definitely getting worse day by day.

When Li Xia first met Grandma Wang, her leg disease was so severe that she could not walk, and she ate, drank, defecated and urinated in bed every day.

If the neighbors nearby had not seen that she was alone and sick, and had not kindly taken turns to bring her food every day, she would have starved to death long ago.

While practicing medicine, Li Xia cured an old man in a village near Guquanzhai of a long-standing illness.

She became famous for this treatment.

Word of mouth spreads from one person to ten, and from ten to a hundred.

As a result, Li Xia's name became known throughout the surrounding area.

The people in the village felt sorry for Grandma Wang who was alone and helpless. Seeing how miserable she was from illness, they went through several people before they finally found Li Xia.

Their request was to ask Li Xia to treat Grandma Wang.

As long as there is a glimmer of hope, it is hope for her.

Li Xia sympathized with Grandma Wang's situation and was also touched by the kindness of the folks there.

She agreed to give it a try for Grandma Wang.

And she refused the medical fees raised by the villagers for her.

In order to thank Li Xia, many villagers in Guquan Village gathered the remaining old, weak, women and children in the village, found a spacious and quiet open space, and worked together to build a shelter for her. They allowed Li Xia, who was wandering around, to stay in Guquan Village temporarily, and when she found a better place to go, it would not be too late for her to leave.

Granny Wang raised her cloudy eyes. She followed Li Xia's gaze and saw that she was staring at her legs. She shook her head and said, "It's okay."

As long as I can walk, a little pain is no big deal.

The pain she had to endure back then was much worse than what she is feeling now.

"Doctor Xiao Li, I'm here to pass on a message from old man Lin. He asked everyone in the village to meet up in the front." Grandma Wang opened her lips and spoke.

Old Man Lin came to her house and told her these words. Granny Wang saw that he had to walk such a long distance alone with a hunched back, and thought about how she had received a lot of help from her neighbors in the past, so she volunteered to come and tell Li Xia the news.

When this house was built for Dr. Xiao Li.
