Sure enough, before Doctor Qi had even finished his cup of tea, Lü Kun was dragged back.

“Dr. Qi, one of your patients ran away from the clinic. I think his feet are almost frostbitten. You have to keep a close eye on him.”

Lin Anniang lifted the guy onto the wooden chair in the clinic as if he were a chick.

"If you get this frostbite and don't get treatment in time, you'll have to have your leg amputated!" Tong Yiwen, who was following behind, squinted and skipped in, exclaiming dramatically.

"What, amputation?" Lü Kun was shocked.

He gets through every winter like this, so why is it so serious this time?

“Yes, my master is the legendary doctor Tong, so I have no reason to lie to you.” Tong Yiwen nodded.

"If he doesn't receive proper treatment, the only way to save his life is to have both legs amputated!"

Lü Kun almost fainted.

Was frostbite really this serious? I never realized it before.

"Doctor, I'll cooperate with the treatment. Let's go now!"

This time, Lü Kun was completely obedient. Since he couldn't win in a fight anyway and would face the risk of amputation, he might as well stay here and behave himself.

If he loses his legs, how will he fight in the future?

Doctor Qi was extremely satisfied. Sure enough, every time the people from the desolate mountain came, good things would happen!

"But Doctor Qi, do you know who that woman was? After I recover, could I fight her?"

Lu Kun had already resigned himself to his fate, but before he did, he wanted to struggle a little more.

That woman looked incredibly powerful; she subdued him with almost no effort.

Lu Kun looked on with great envy. He had never been one to admit defeat since he was a child, and he was already plotting in his mind how to get into another fight.

"Don't mess with Madam An. She's the most trusted believer of the Mountain Goddess. Even our county magistrate wouldn't dare to offend her!"

Doctor Qi quickly shook his head.

"You should focus on getting better. Once you're fully recovered, you can do whatever you want!"

Lu Kun didn't listen to what Doctor Qi said later; he was lost in thought.

That Lady An's martial arts skills are simply heaven-defying. Even if he recovers from his illness, he might not be able to defeat her. Otherwise, he should take this opportunity to recognize her as his master.

This is a good idea. Once he recovers, he can become an apprentice!

In the other room, Madam An was unaware that someone was planning to shamelessly become her disciple. At that moment, she was introducing the person to Doctor Qi.

"Dr. Qi, this is Tong Yiwen. You should be very familiar with her. She is Dr. Tong's granddaughter."

"She will also work at the clinic and teach some new treatment methods. You may all have to learn from her."

Lin Anniang stopped talking at this point.

She felt that the older doctor might not be able to accept it, after all, Tong Yiwen was just too young...

In fact, when Doctor Qi heard that this was the granddaughter of Doctor Tong, his eyes immediately lit up.

"Of course, of course I have to learn from them!"

This is an opportunity that Doctor Qi longed for but could not obtain!

He was different from those old pedants. All his medical skills were learned by secretly from childhood. It was because he didn't have systematic learning that he stumbled along for so many years and only opened this clinic when he was over fifty.

Now that Dr. Tong from the provincial capital is willing to take him as an apprentice and has even sent his granddaughter to provide guidance, he couldn't be happier!

"However, our clinic here is still a bit small, and sometimes when there are many patients, it gets very crowded..."

Dr. Qi wasn't embarrassed at all; he just felt that the clinic had limited space.

“That’s easy to arrange. We will build a hospital next to the cotton factory, and we’ll need to invite Dr. Qi and your apprentices to come over.”

Lin Anniang explained.

"The hospital?" Dr. Qi asked, looking puzzled.

"A hospital is a place for treating and saving lives. It's much larger than a clinic, and it also has an emergency department, inpatient department, and various other departments..."

Tong Yiwen took the initiative to step forward and explain.

Doctor Qi's other apprentices were also very interested and joined in the discussion.

Seeing that these people were getting along quite well, Lin Anniang nodded, opened her oil-paper umbrella, and quietly left.

The cold wind was howling outside, but she was wearing a close-fitting cotton coat underneath and a thick cloak on top, which made her look exceptionally warm.

"Anniang, over here!" Liang Shu waved to her from a distance.

Liang Shu was also wearing a cloak, and the necklace around her neck covered a pair of white fox fur collars. The tips of the silver needle-like fur were covered with unmelted snowflakes, which trembled gently in the wind.

Seeing Madam An stride over, she took the gilded openwork hand warmer from the old nanny and gently placed it in Madam An's hands.

Upon noticing that An Niangzi's ears were red from the cold, she pulled over the other side of the white fox fur collar she had prepared and wrapped it around her.

"Thank you." Lin Anniang was a little uncomfortable; she wasn't good at refusing other people's kindness, so she gripped her collar tightly and nodded.

"It's nothing. I should thank you for bringing me to such a wonderful place. Otherwise, I would still be stuck in the quagmire of the Marquis's mansion, worse than dead."

Liang Shu exhaled a breath, her eyes smiling.

In the immediate period after her rebirth, she did indeed intend to take revenge. If she hadn't come to the desolate mountains, she would have already taken action.

But upon closer reflection, they were just a bunch of rotten people; there was no need to let her spend the rest of her life trapped in them.

So Liang Shu decisively took away all her dowry, dug a huge pit for the people in the Marquis's mansion, and left with a wave of her sleeve.

It's not that I think she's dispensable, or that I think she harmed the entire Marquis's mansion, yet she still clings to the position of the principal wife.

Since that's the case, Liang Shu wanted to see just how miserable those people were without her!

The Marquis's mansion had long been in debt, but she was incredibly foolish in her previous life to use her dowry to make up for it. When the dowry wasn't enough, she even sold off various shops and estates, all to make those people live better lives.

Looking back now, Liang Shu finds it unbelievable. Was she crazy back then?

“Anniang, don’t worry. In a while, my teleportation ability will improve. Then I’ll take you to Chongzhou to pick up your daughter!”

Liang Shu felt unlucky whenever she thought about those things from her past life, so she simply put them out of her mind.

The woman in the blue cloak, with her delicate eyebrows, spoke softly to Madam An and made a promise.

Lin Anniang's eyes welled up with tears.

She naturally felt obligated to reciprocate the kindness shown to her, so she patted her chest and made a promise.

"If you want to deal with those people from the Marquis's mansion, just tell me, and I'll come over and break all their legs!"
