Jiang Youran, reborn at the age of four, decided to marry her mother, Mrs. Su—who died in depression before she was 28 in her previous life—to her cousin, Duke Ping, who had always harbored feeling...
In the teahouse, Jiang Youchen and the troupe leader were having a pleasant conversation.
Jiang Youchen was very generous. Knowing that there would be no more opportunities to perform on stage, he transferred the script to the troupe leader without hesitation for twenty taels of silver.
The troupe leader thanked them profusely as he left.
Jiang Youchen was in a hurry to return to Sanyang Village, so he placed the loose silver on the table, came out to see him off, and prepared to return to Sanyang Village on the way.
As he walked into the lobby on the first floor, a woman suddenly called out to him, "Young man, I recognize you. You're the young man who was shouting his lines on the stage yesterday evening?"
Jiang Youchen was taken aback, then smiled and replied, "Yes, Madam, you flatter me."
The woman asked with delight, "Yesterday's performance of Farewell My Concubine was truly fascinating. When will you children perform it again?"
Jiang Youchen smiled and pointed in the direction of the class leader, "Then we'll have to ask the class leader."
The troupe leader quickly bowed to her and said, "Madam, please wait a few days or two. We will be able to rehearse soon."
But the woman looked somewhat displeased. "I recognize you as the troupe leader of the stage across the street, but your plays..."
She shook her head. "I just want to see the show those kids put on yesterday again. They were absolutely adorable."
The troupe leader's heart skipped a beat, and he cupped his hands and said with a smile, "The children have some too, they're practicing, they're practicing."
Jiang Youchen glanced at him, but didn't say anything. He nodded to the woman and took his leave.
Anyway, the script is in his hands, so whether it's an adult or a child acting is entirely up to the other party.
He returned to Sanyang Village and learned that his sister had led a group of girls to Dazhuangzi to sort out medicinal herbs. Knowing that the matter of treating patients in Dadu Village might have been settled, he hurried over as well.
Two days later, Xiao Youran finally found a way to supply Western medicine in bulk to treat her bloated belly.
The reason was that last night before going to bed, she kept staring at the single digits of her remaining luck value with a frown. She thought to herself that if she had known that upgrading would only unlock some kind of space function and give her an extra arrogant little baby, she would have preferred not to upgrade at all. Even with the previous luck value of eighty-odd points, she could have obtained eighty-odd boxes of Western medicine to treat schistosomiasis and saved dozens of people.
Now that only a 6 is left, what good is it?
The baby, having read her thoughts, immediately became indignant and displayed a line of text: "You little fool, a whole box has a hundred boxes, isn't that more than your eighty-odd boxes?"
Xiao Youran was stunned. One box contains a hundred boxes, but what does it mean that this little notebook emphasizes this so much?
She asked, puzzled, "Wouldn't a hundred boxes require a hundred luck points?"
The little notebook became even more arrogant, "Calling you a little idiot, you really are a little idiot! One box only requires one unit of luck!"
Xiao Youran: !!!
So, one box of 100 packs of [product name] is worth 1 point of luck?!
With 6 points of luck, I could get 600 boxes of Western medicine? If I mix the three kinds of medicine in the right proportions, I could save 200 people?
Hahaha!
This little notebook is really silly! It actually has a conversion method like this?
As long as the quantity is one, regardless of the unit, it only consumes one point of luck value.
Hahaha!
She immediately tried to get a box of medicine.
Anyway, she doesn't have 100 points if you need them.
Sure enough, a box of medicine appeared in front of me. I opened it and found a full hundred boxes! And, my luck value really only decreased by 1 point!
This is an amazing bug!
The next day, she excitedly found her brother, loaded six large boxes of medicine onto the carriage, and took with her Doctor Gu and the Chinese medicine that he had the girls prepare over the past two days to promote blood circulation, remove dampness, and diuresis. When they arrived in Wufeng County, she picked up Doctor Wang and headed straight for Dadu Village.
Sun Chengyuan insisted on coming along, and on the way he recounted how he contracted the disease, which moved everyone to tears.
Dadu Village is located on the eastern outskirts of Pingnan County, a neighboring county. Magistrate Zheng of Pingnan County and Magistrate Sun are on good terms. Last autumn, Magistrate Zheng had a baby boy and held a celebration banquet for relatives and friends to celebrate his one-month birthday. Madam Sun also brought Chengyuan to Pingnan County to offer her congratulations and agreed to stay there for a day.
Who knew that in the middle of the afternoon, Sun Chengyuan heard Young Master Zheng mention a village called Big Belly Village in the eastern suburbs, where everyone had a big belly. He became curious and asked Young Master Zheng to take him there to "pay homage".
He also made a point of staying far away from the villagers as instructed by Young Master Zheng, but for some reason he still fell victim to the virus.
Sun Chengyuan scratched his head and said, “I had been puzzled for a long time. Young Master Zheng and I went together, but we were both safe and sound. Later, after listening to Doctor Wang’s explanation, I learned that I had stepped into the paddy field and slipped and fell, which is why I contracted the disease.”
Xiao Youran thought for a moment and understood. There was a lot of rain in late autumn last year, and the fields in Dadu Village must have suffered as well. All the hard work of the year was ruined. He must have slipped and fallen in the paddy field and gotten hurt.
However, after only half a month, Sun Chengyuan developed a fever and cough that did not improve. Only after repeated inquiries did Madam Sun learn that he had been to Dadu Village.
Magistrate Sun was both shocked and furious, and immediately wanted to send him to Dadu Village to fend for himself. It was only after Madam Sun's repeated requests that she agreed to send him to stay with her sister-in-law in the countryside of Sanyang Village.
Xiaoyou listened to his story all the way, and felt only sympathy.
Sun Chengyuan, however, was very fortunate, saying frankly that if he hadn't met Xiao Youran, he would definitely be dead.
Doctor Wang slapped him on the back and laughed heartily, "If it weren't for my sudden impulse to make a bet with this Doctor Gu, you'd probably still be living a miserable life in Cui'er's house."
Doctor Gu laughed heartily and slapped him on the other shoulder, "As a result, not only are you saved, but my two little apprentice doctors are also going to make a name for themselves!"
Jiang Youchen's eyes held a hint of disdain. "Master, what you're really proud of is that hundred taels of silver as a thank-you gift, isn't it?"
Doctor Gu glared at his apprentice, "You see through things but don't say anything? Don't you understand the importance of respecting your teacher?!"
Then he smiled and stared at Xiao Youran, "My little apprentice is so sensible."
Xiao Youran instantly remembered the bear gall bladder he had tricked her out of, blinked, and asked, "Master, how much did you sell that bear gall bladder for?"
The renowned doctor immediately began to cough forcefully, "Cough cough cough—"
Doctor Wang laughed heartily.
The group chatted and laughed all the way to Dadu Village.
As soon as he stepped off the carriage, a young man bowed deeply to Sun Chengyuan. “Brother Sun, I heard from Father that your illness has greatly improved. My heart, which has been hanging in suspense, can finally rest easy. I heard that you were coming today, so I came early to wait for you, just to see you properly.”
The visitor was none other than Zheng Bai, the eldest son of Magistrate Zheng.
Sun Chengyuan quickly returned the greeting, saying, "Thank you for your concern, Brother Zheng. It is truly my fault."
After exchanging pleasantries, Sun Chengyuan quickly introduced them to him, "This is Doctor Gu and Physician Wang. These two siblings are Doctor Gu's apprentices, and they are also young doctors. It was the four of them who saved my life that day. They have brought some medicine with them to see if they can relieve the villagers' pain and suffering."
