Seeing that she was about to leave, Jin's mother anxiously called out to her, "Comrade Su."
Su Xiao turned to look at her and saw that Jin's mother was twisting the corner of the quilt with one hand, her face full of struggle, as if she was making a difficult decision.
Su Xiao wondered if she needed her help with something. With that in mind, Su Xiao patiently stood and waited for her decision, deciding whether she could help first.
"I..." Tears welled in her eyes as she finally spoke, her voice filled with determination. "Can you do me a favor? I...I..."
"Auntie, please don't get agitated. Let's talk this out." Su Xiao sighed inwardly. She had gotten herself into trouble because of her good intentions.
At that time, I made a mistake. I just saw that there was a patient in the house, and I had never taken a pulse on my own since I had learned medicine. So I wanted to give it a try. When I tried it, I found that the symptoms were exactly the same as those that I had studied with my master. Naturally, I was very happy and wanted to test the results of my learning.
Looking at this family, they were probably in dire straits and couldn't afford medical treatment. Her actions were a kind act of helping them.
As for practicing medicine without a license, this isn't a thing of the future. Nowadays, barefoot doctors are very common, and besides, she received her master's true teachings, so she's confident she can cure the patient.
Due to a number of factors, she chose to receive treatment.
“My son has been missing for three days. I need your help.” She paused for a moment, then said resolutely, “Lingling, you go out first. Mom has something to say to your sister.”
Jinling was anxious, not understanding why her mother wouldn't let her listen, but seeing her mother's serious eyes, she still went out.
After seeing her leave, Jin's mother waved to Su Xiao, "Comrade Su, come here."
Su Xiao saw her take a box from a hidden compartment by the bedside, open it, take something out of it, and caress it for a moment before handing it to her. "Comrade Su, I know you're a good person, but I can't find anyone else to help me right now."
Mrs. Jin was visibly agitated, her voice choked with sobs as she said, "Something must have happened to my son. And with me in this state, I'm powerless to go out and look for him. Comrade Su, please take this jade pendant and go to Gujia Alley in the DC District to find a man named Gu Tingjiang. Ask him to save his son, Gu Zhiguo..."
Su Xiao was stunned, clutching the jade pendant in her hand, because it was almost identical to the one her parents had left her.
"Xiao Liu, what's going on?" Su Xiao had a vague idea in her mind.
"Hmm... this jade pendant looks very similar to the one that resides in the space between us, so it should be made from the same piece of jade. Master, are you looking for someone to be your relative?" Little Six was a little excited, happy for its master.
Su Xiao retorted dismissively, "What are you thinking? Relatives aren't so easy to identify."
Seeing that she was unhappy, Xiao Liu didn't dare to say anything.
Seeing her frown, Mrs. Jin said somewhat nervously, "Comrade Su, is there something inconvenient? Then forget it, I'll find someone else."
She didn't know what the consequences of her decision would be, and she was hesitating. Seeing that Su Xiao didn't speak, she started to have second thoughts.
“No problem, I’ll go for you.” Su Xiao put away the jade pendant. “Find Gu Tingjiang and save his son, Gu Zhiguo. Auntie, what’s your name? Is there anything else you need to tell me?”
Mrs. Jin seemed a little dazed. "My name is Qin Huifang. I... could you tell him for me... never mind. You go ahead. Thank you, Comrade Su."
Su Xiao raised an eyebrow slightly. "Okay, I will definitely deliver it. You can rest assured and take good care of yourself. Don't let Lingling worry."
