The next morning, after delivering breakfast to Gu Nanxun, Lin Qing went to the medical room that the brigade headquarters had prepared for her.

The infirmary was very simple; it had nothing but a table and two stools.

There are two stools, one for myself and the other for the patient.

“Young Lin, I have already reported to the commune. As long as you take the barefoot doctor exam at the commune next month, you can get your barefoot doctor certificate.”

"But don't worry, Xiao Lin, I believe in your medical skills. The exam is just a requirement. From now on, you are the barefoot doctor of our brigade. However, the clinic is out of medicine right now. I'll give you a note so you can buy medicine from the commune. But can you pay for it in advance? Our brigade doesn't have that budget."

“If you really don’t have any money, Xiao Lin, you can take us to the mountains to collect herbs. Every year, people come here to collect herbs, but the villagers don’t recognize the herbs, so no one goes to collect them.”

The captain's dark face flushed slightly, and he rubbed his hands together sheepishly as he spoke.

Asking the educated youth Xiao Lin to treat the people in his brigade, and then having Xiao Lin pay for the medicine himself, even the brigade leader, who was usually thick-skinned, felt a little embarrassed.

"It's alright, I still have some money here. I'll just buy some emergency medicine first. Besides, I have connections in this area, so they can help me get the medicine. As for the other medicines, I'll go to the mountain to collect them when I have time."

"However, Captain, we need to make this clear beforehand. I can pay for the medicine first, but the villagers have to pay for their medical treatment."

Lin Qing knew the captain's difficulties. Everyone was struggling these days, and it was normal not to have extra money. To achieve her goal, it wouldn't hurt to pay a little in advance. Besides, she had plenty of medicine in her space. However, while she could pay in advance, she couldn't give it away for free.

Actually, she had quite a lot of medicine in her space, and it was quite complete. Back then, Brother Nanxun even put an entire warehouse's worth of medicine into her space.

That's all the medicine stored in Nanxun's group, a really large quantity. Since the captain is doing this, he can take out his own medicine and use it too.

"Of course, you paid for the medicine, so you'll definitely have to pay. Don't worry, Xiao Lin, if anyone tries to refuse to pay, don't even bother seeing them. On behalf of everyone in Chaoyang Brigade, I thank you."

As he spoke, the captain stood up and bowed to Lin Qing.

He was genuinely grateful to Xiaolin, the educated youth. Over the years, because the clinic was far away, some people did not receive timely treatment, and people died every year.

"Captain, you're too kind. Since you trust me, and I'm about to become the barefoot doctor for our brigade, it's only right."

Lin Qing quickly avoided the captain and said guiltily, "I'm not as selfless as the captain said. Everything he did was for Gu Nanxun."

"Okay...okay...Young Lin, don't call me Captain anymore, just call me Uncle. If you need to buy medicine, just tell me and I'll give you a note."

"Okay, Captain, let's do it tomorrow. It's definitely too late today. I'll take stock of what medicines we need today, and I'll go to the county town to buy them tomorrow."

"Alright, then you can make your own arrangements for today, Xiao Lin. I'll head back now."

After saying that, the captain left with his hands behind his back.

With nothing to do, Lin Qing wondered if she would sign in something related to medicine while she was in the infirmary.

"System check-in!"

"Ding... Congratulations, host, you have obtained a Beauty Pill."

Beauty pill? Can eating it make you beautiful? Lin Qing couldn't wait to throw the beauty pill into her mouth and swallow it.

The beauty pill melted instantly upon entering her mouth, and Lin Qing felt a warm current flow into her body, permeating her cells.

Lin Qing took a mirror and looked at herself, but there was no change!

"Of course there's no change. The effects of the beauty pill change gradually, not immediately and noticeably."

The system couldn't help but interject.

"Oh, is that so? But that's good, the change is so obvious, I don't dare to eat it yet. Otherwise, if someone sees it, they'll think I'm a fairy."

Lin Qing touched her chest, realizing how reckless she had been to take the medicine without asking first! Fortunately, the effects of the medicine were gradual.

"Brother Nanxun, I'm going to the county town tomorrow. Is there anything you need me to bring back for you?"

After finishing the meal, Lin Qing asked.

Gu Nanxun rummaged around on the bed, took out 10 ten-yuan bills, and handed them to Lin Qing, saying, "I don't need to buy anything. Take this money and buy whatever you need. Buy yourself something nice to eat."

“Tomorrow, Youcai is also going back to the county town. You can go with him. He’ll be here soon, and I’ll introduce you two.”

"Okay, I understand, thank you, Brother Nanxun."

Lin Qing was stunned for a moment when she saw the large sum of money Gu Nanxun handed her, then happily accepted it.

Hasn't she taken enough of Nanxun's things? To be honest, everything she has now should belong to Nanxun, so why is she being so coy?

Seeing that Lin Qing accepted the money, Gu Nanxun was also very happy, and a rare smile appeared on his usually cold face.

"Brother Gu, I'm here..."

A cheer came from outside the door.

Lin Qing turned her head and saw a young man of about 20 years old running in with light steps.

The young man was very handsome, but a scar below his right eye marred his otherwise good-looking face.

The young man was wearing a coarse cloth shirt and carrying a basket on his back. There were fine beads of sweat on his forehead, hanging there on the verge of dripping.
