In the main house, Qin Zhao gently took out the silver needle from the old man's acupuncture point.

The old woman leaned against the head of the bed, her brows furrowed, she suddenly coughed up a mouthful of black blood, tilted her head and fainted.

The entire Chen family was crowded in the outer room, and rushed in when they heard the noise.

"mother!"

"Why isn't she moving?"

"What are you doing? What's going on?!"

The room was in a mess. Qin Zhao slowly wiped the silver needle with a soft cloth and put it back into the cloth bag.

Qin Zhao said calmly, "It's okay. Old Madam Chen is bedridden because of qi stagnation and blood stasis. Use acupuncture every day to force out the blood stasis, and then take blood-activating and blood-stasis-removing medicine. She will recover soon."

"Promote blood circulation and remove blood stasis?" A voice came from the back of the crowd. "I've taken countless blood-activating and blood-stasis-removing medicines over the past few months, but they haven't helped."

The person who spoke was the third son of the Chen family, who had a dark complexion and was tall and thin.

"That's because you're missing a medicinal ingredient." Qin Zhao took out a bag of herbs from his backpack and handed it to Chen Yan'an. "This is Wushan ginseng. Take it daily as a decoction. I've written the prescription inside."

"Take the decoction once in the morning and once in the evening. You should see results after three days."

Chen Yanan said: "Okay, I understand."

"Do you really believe him?" Chen Laosan asked, "How could he possibly have such a rare herb as black mountain ginseng?"

Chen Yanan was stunned.

Chen Laosan said, "Black Mountain Ginseng is no ordinary medicine. One plant is enough to cover his rent for several years. If he could really find it, wouldn't it be better for him to sell it and make money? Why would he send it to our family?"

Qin Zhao's eyes flickered slightly, and he even smiled. "So, you know that Wushan ginseng has a miraculous effect on Old Madam Chen's condition?"

Chen Laosan's face changed.

"I've always found it strange. Although stroke is difficult to treat, it's impossible for someone to seek medical treatment for months without finding a solution," Qin Zhao said calmly. "So yesterday I went to see Doctor Ge, and he confirmed that Mrs. Chen's condition is qi stagnation and blood stasis, and that Wushan ginseng can be used as a remedy."

He raised his eyes to look at Chen Laosan and said calmly: "And he told me that he had already told the Chen family about this recipe."

Mrs. Chen sensed something in his words and turned to look at Chen Laosan: "Laosan, you were the one who called the doctor the last few times. Did the doctor mention this prescription?"

"I...I did." Chen Laosan's face turned pale.

Mrs. Chen: "Then why are you——"

"Of course I can't tell you!" Chen Laosan said sternly, "Sister-in-law, you want me to give this old man some black mountain ginseng? Do you know how much that medicine costs? Why don't you spend the money?!"

The room fell into dead silence. Everyone looked at each other, and no one spoke.

Qin Zhao was too lazy to meddle in other people's household affairs. He lowered his eyes and packed his things. Then he stood up and said, "I'll take my leave now. I'll come back tomorrow morning to give the old lady acupuncture."

After he finished speaking, he turned and walked out the door.

Just as I reached the gate of the yard, Mrs. Chen chased out and said, "Wait a minute!"

Qin Zhao stopped.

Mrs. Chen asked, "I treated you so badly before, why did you give us such precious herbs?"

"Don't get me wrong, I'm just repaying you for saving my life." Qin Zhao said calmly.

Moreover, he had just collected some black mountain ginseng not long ago, and today he discovered that this thing could save the old lady of the Chen family.

This is not just a coincidence, it's also a chance.

Qin Zhao said, "When the old lady wakes up, I will come to pay off the debt and return the house as scheduled."

"you……"

Mrs. Chen looked at the young man in front of her. He had a pale face and a dull expression between his brows. He seemed to be able to do everything with ease, and his every move could easily make people submit and trust him.

Just like the high-ranking officials and wealthy businessmen she had seen from afar in the town, no, those people were not even as good as the person in front of her.

At this moment, a strange noise suddenly came from beside them.

A bright red koi jumped out of the ditch, and regardless of being covered in water, it threw itself into Qin Zhao's arms.
