Chapter 76
Shen Jiao ran the horse very happily, and the freedom seemed to turn into a breeze.
Wei Qian didn't feel very good. As soon as he landed on the ground, he started vomiting.
Shen Jiao didn't even look at him and just led the horse away.
After Wei Qian finished vomiting, he quickly wiped his mouth and chased after him. He was so honest and obedient.
If Shen Jiao stopped arguing with him and appeared gentle and considerate, Wei Qian might not be able to feel at ease. However, she didn't care at the moment, and even took some revenge, which made him feel at ease. He approached eagerly and was particularly attentive and careful to Xue Shun. After returning, he rested for a short time, took some medicine, and went to think about Xue Shun's prescription.
Shen Jiao ignored him and boiled some sheep oil by herself. After it was done, she added Yurong powder and made a big jar of it. She gave it to Xue Shun to use in the evening.
Wei Qian came over and said that he also had a few prescriptions.
"No need." Xue Shun didn't want to pay attention to him and refused without hesitation, pulling his clothes twice uncomfortably.
The fragrance of the jade powder was very strong, and it became even more fragrant after being mixed with oil. It smelled greasy and was not very refreshing when applied. Shen Jiao said it would be fine after a while, but he felt that his clothes would become greasy after a while, and he was afraid that he could not wear them. He also wanted to take a bath.
He sighed in his heart: It would be really tiring to go through this for a few months. Just washing clothes is enough to keep them busy. But there is nothing he can do about it. After all, Shen Jiao cares about him so much. He can sell the things those people gave him and give them more money. This way, his hard work will not be in vain.
But not too much, and save some just in case.
When Xue Shun thought of this, he looked at Wei Qian seriously: I don’t know if he is willing to die or not?
Xue Shun really needed the money, but he was obviously not as ruthless and resolute as Shen Jiao. Seeing Wei Qian anxiously poking at him, wilting like a frost-bitten eggplant, he couldn't help but feel soft-hearted and hesitant:
"I've heard about your story. You're a leading doctor. Even if you earn money honestly, you could live a good life. Why, knowing that the sect's rules are strict, did you do something like that, becoming a traitor that everyone hates and bringing you to this point?"
He wondered if there was something else going on.
Wei Qian said sheepishly, "Money can be very tempting. In my early years, I followed my master into seclusion to study medicine. I lived in poverty for too long, and often went deep into the mountains to collect herbs. I didn't understand the changes in the world very well. I thought I could do whatever I wanted as I did decades ago. I became greedy and acted recklessly. Who would have thought that trouble would soon come to light..."
He noticed Xue Shun's expression, which showed some disdain, and hurriedly said, "I, Wei, have felt deeply ashamed over the years, but it's too late to regret. If I could get your help and get through this disaster safely, I would rather give up my fame, change my appearance, and become a wandering doctor, saving the dying and the wounded for the rest of my life, and no longer be obsessed with money."
Xue Shun found it hard to believe him. A few days ago, he was trying to show off by relying on his superb medical skills.
"You said that decades ago, people could do whatever they wanted? Did Xuanhu Hall have such a thing decades ago?"
"This kind of thing happens everywhere," Wei Qian's face darkened for a moment, and two tears fell. "I personally experienced this back then. Because I couldn't come up with the money, I was repeatedly delayed. In the end, my parents died, and I was the only one left. My master took pity on me and took me away."
Many people died at that time. Two groups of people came to Xuanhu Hall to try to save him. The first few people who went only recognized gold and silver. The last one to go was his master, but unfortunately he went too late and was alone. He was weak and had to endure their exclusion, ridicule and teasing. In the end, he was the only one who could be saved.
At that time, Wei Qian's first thought was not hatred, but envy. He envied them for having such excellent medical skills. They could make anyone live or die at their will. People would kneel at their feet and beg them, holding up money, before they would bow their heads. Like gods, they would casually glance at the world and change a person's fate with just a kindness, even though they felt like evil gods...
But they will not fight with others for a spoonful of manure, a sip of water, or a black steamed bun. They are different from everyone else in the village. If... if he could be like this, it would be great.
Wei Qian was very talented and was willing to work hard to perfect his skills. His master almost saw him become the most famous doctor in Xuanhu Hall and a famous doctor of the time, until one of his patients could not wait any longer and gave him gold and silver as gifts.
It wasn't too much, but it was enough for him to work hard for two months. Wei Qian stretched out his hand. Fortunately, no one mentioned this. The recovered patients and their families left with many thanks. His heart was beating fast for a while, then it returned to its original state, and then it was out of control.
He takes what is available, whether it is from those who can afford it or those who cannot. Whoever gives more will get better faster.
At that time, the master probably heard something and came to persuade him.
He knelt in front of his master, hugged his legs, and swore with tears in his eyes that he would change and never embarrass the old man again, for fear of being exposed. But his master... just shook his head and sighed, put his hands behind his back and walked away, never to return.
He really worked hard as a good doctor for a while, and soon gained quite a reputation. He even treated the old leader of the Qinghe Gang, which is why he received a letter asking for help from him. As a result, he became famous, and the brother and sister from the Wei Kingdom came to him because of his reputation...
Wei Qian hadn't thought about these things for a long time. He thought he had forgotten them long ago, but he didn't expect that he still remembered them so clearly.
If you had been a good doctor from the beginning, you might have lived a good life.
If he had not made things difficult for the brother and sister later, perhaps it would not have come to this. It is normal for people to die from the epidemic. It is hard to say whether it was caused by him. He might not be punished.
If...if he could really start over, maybe he would change it.
Wei Qianxin said.
Xue Shun didn't want to listen anymore. He didn't believe Wei Qian would change, just like he didn't believe the love words of an unfaithful man or the oaths of a gambler. They were all bullshit.
Occasionally there are one or two that fart loudly and for a long time, but they are still farts. Anyone who believes them is a fool.
"I hope so." Xue Shun said coldly.
Wei Qian burst into tears of joy: "Thank you very much, sir, thank you very much, sir. I will definitely change my ways and become a good doctor with both virtue and talent."
Xue Shun: I hope so... Please remember these words in your next life.
He lowered his eyes somewhat tiredly.
Wei Qian tactfully took his leave.
No one noticed that the next day, while getting medicine, Qiongzhi quietly went to the kitchen, took a package from Old Man Li, put it under a basket of vegetables and brought it back. At night, she quietly slipped into Shen Jiao's room, opened the package and spread it on the table.
"Sister, they are all here. It's hard to take the satin and other things. They have all become silver. I heard that a child was injured, so I took the initiative to give him another hundred yuan. He was very happy and asked me if those children would be considered the master's people in the future.
I told them that they did a good job and the young master was very happy, but for the sake of caution, I couldn't arrange for them for the time being. I told them to wait a little longer and that I would have other instructions. They must not mention this matter to anyone to avoid ruining the young master's business. He agreed happily.
Sister, is it okay for me to say this?"
Qiongzhi asked timidly.
Shen Jiao happily gave her a hug and said, "That's great! Fortunately, you passed on the message and told them to prepare in advance. Otherwise, they wouldn't have done so well!"
Qiongzhi blushed a little: "It's also my sister's idea. If it were me, I would never have thought of it..."
