"Master, what's wrong?"

"It's nothing."

Li Xiyue looked away and rubbed her sore neck. As someone who came from the apocalypse, how could she be saddened by a few fake friendships?

It does not exist.

After calming herself down, she took a puppet from the consultation room and handed it to her, saying, "Don't stab other people anymore, stab this dummy instead."

At a rate of ten needles for one cent, her apprentice is bound to go bankrupt.

"Wow!" Xu Baiwei exclaimed in delight as she took the puppet. "Master, where did this puppet come from?"

"I had Uncle Shou Kang make this for you. You can use it to practice needlework from now on."

This year, Li Xiyue started teaching Xu Baiwei acupuncture. Xu has already mastered the basics and needs to practice more.

She does have a model of human acupoints in her space, but it's made of silicone, so she can't explain its origin.

Xu Shoukang is a carpenter in the village, and he is very skilled.

She asked him to carve a small wooden puppet, about the size of an adult man's palm, so she could carry it with her.

She still remembers the look of surprise on Xu Shoukang's face when she marked the acupoints on the puppet.

"Dr. Li, do you know where the acupoints on our bodies are?"

Li Xiyue replied with a smile, "I know the acupoints on animals just like people do."

The dark-skinned man clicked his tongue in amazement, and after a long pause, said, "That's really impressive!"

He looked at Li Xiyue's fair, delicate, and beautiful fingers, then at his own thick, radish-like fingers, and shook his head with a smile. Sure enough, people do what they're meant to do.

Xu Baiwei hugged the little figure, unable to put it down. "Thank you, Master. Now I can save a lot of money."

Li Xiyue: "..."

It cost 50 cents to make this puppet, but she didn't care; she just deducted it from the girl's earnings for the month!

"Don't worry, Master, I will definitely practice hard."

Li Xiyue felt a little relieved. "Master leads you in, but cultivation depends on yourself. Weiwei, your master can only accompany you this far. From now on, you have to rely on yourself. What kind of person you want to become is up to you."

Xu Baiwei nodded emphatically.

With her gone, the clinic was completely handed over to Xu Baiwei, a barefoot doctor who was not even thirteen years old, and she was considered a legend in Yonghe County.

That evening, Li Xiyue went to the cowshed and brought some food and medicine for the four elderly people, and also gave them another check-up.

"Everything is fine. I've already prescribed half a month's worth of medicine. Once you've finished it, go find the deputy captain. I've already spoken to him privately, and he'll get you more from the clinic."

Although Xu Guoqiang knew about the relationship between the four elderly people and Chu Xun, he was, after all, a high-ranking leader of the brigade, and it was inconvenient for him to act. So he secretly instructed Xu Jianmin.

Xu Jianmin is a truly kind and fearless person. As soon as she mentioned it, he agreed without the slightest hesitation and repeatedly assured her that he would take good care of the elderly for them.

“Good child, we will take good care of ourselves, so don’t worry about us. Go back to the city with peace of mind,” Qi Wenxin said.

Zhou Huageng and his wife both nodded in agreement.

He Linfeng said, "Kid, don't talk about repaying kindness or making amends anymore. I just pulled you up casually back then, and Xiaobai didn't even bite me. All these years, what you've done is more than enough."

“I’ve repaid my debt of gratitude, but there’s still my Ah Xun.” Li Xiyue said with a smile, “Even if we don’t mention my Ah Xun, there’s Lu Feng. He left some money when he returned to Beijing; it’s all a token of his appreciation.”

Before Lu Feng left, he did give Chu Xun some money to help take care of the elderly. Chu Xun gave the money to her, and she felt she had to spend it all on the elderly people.

He Linfeng and his wife exchanged a glance and sighed, "This child is a good one. I never thought that he, an orphan who has suffered so much, would still retain such kindness."

"No parents?" Li Xiyue asked curiously, "Is he an orphan?"

He Linfeng nodded. "Yes, he doesn't know who his biological parents are. He was adopted when he was very young, but his adoptive parents died after a few years. He supported himself by doing odd jobs. Then suddenly his life improved and he became my student."

Li Xiyue only knew that Lu Feng was Wu Laohu's adopted son, but she didn't expect him to have such a past. She thought that his life had suddenly become better because he had been adopted by Wu Laohu.

Lu Feng's appearance and demeanor are extraordinary, so his biological parents must also be extraordinary. It's just unknown whether he will be lucky enough to find his biological parents and reunite with his family.
