[Why not? Have you ever seen someone so severely motion sickness recover after just a few acupuncture treatments? Even medication probably wouldn't work that quickly.]
[Yeah! I was just about to say that too, but I want to remain neutral. What if it's just part of the script?]
[Who doesn't know that Director Feng's films and variety shows never involve favoritism or backdoor deals? Who is this person secretly plotting against?]
As more and more people arrived, each with their own little quirks, Shen Hua felt a headache coming on.
Are there doctors in Peach Blossom Village? I don't know how skilled they are, but they can probably treat minor ailments like headaches and fevers.
However, she agreed to help those with childhood illnesses or those that were incurable, promising to provide them with acupuncture treatments upon returning to the village.
Even when it's just something she does, she'll still make things convenient for others.
This is a good opportunity to lure some people out.
Although I had already discussed with the villagers that I could exchange ingredients with them when I got back, I only had 60 yuan left. I spent 6 yuan on transportation, so I could still buy some things with the remaining 54 yuan.
"It's getting late, so let's go to the market first and talk again when we get back to the village."
The three of them hadn't gone far when two of them surrounded Chen Hua from the left and right, their eyes sparkling as they looked at her.
"Xiao Shenhua, you're amazing! Why don't you take a look at me too? I feel like there are still some minor issues."
Chen Hua: ...
"Brother Chenhua, me too. I always felt a bit weak and prone to catching colds."
Chen Hua: ...
"Were you playing house back then? It's one thing for others to do this, but you guys actually started making a fuss? Did you want a few more stitches? I think the needle was a bit too small, should I get a bigger one?"
The two shook their heads in unison, distancing themselves from the painting.
"No need, I suddenly realized that I am still healthy. So many people need you, so we won't get involved."
"Yes, yes, I also feel that I can still do it."
The villagers also went to the market, but they all remembered Shen Hua and the other two, and went back to visit them with gifts.
Seeing that they were no longer convinced of the matter, Shen Hua asked Xia Xue to take them shopping. Although this was a market, it was quite different from the places she had casually strolled around before.
It's a bit noisier here, with everyone hawking their wares. The things people buy are mostly vegetables and the like, not many varieties, and they're all homegrown.
Xia Xue and Zhang Lele were having a great time shopping, with Chen Hua following behind.
Not long after, a vendor selling candied hawthorns came by, and Shen Hua stopped and called out to Xia Xue.
"Xia Xue, how much money do you have left?"
Xia Xue also saw the candied hawthorns and walked over. Not only did Shen Hua like them, but the two of them did too.
"There are still twenty-three left, these are all the vegetables we bought."
This person knows that there are potatoes, cabbage, and sweet potatoes, and noodles for eating, and everyone is about to go buy them.
We can't afford to buy rice, oil, and salt; if we did, we'd run out of money. Besides, we wouldn't be able to use it all. When Director Feng gave us this amount of money before, he never thought about using it to buy rice, oil, and salt.
"Boss, how much is one of these candied hawthorns?" Xia Xue asked.
Shen Hua has a lot of money, lots and lots of cash, but he can't take it out now. The money he had before should be prohibited. He can only use the money given to him by Director Feng.
She did want to buy a lot of candied hawthorns, so she bought all the ones the vendor had, and stored them in her space to eat slowly, because they were delicious and she had eaten them before.
I forgot about it because I hadn't seen it before, but now that I have, there's no reason not to eat it.
"This isn't expensive. There are two yuan ones and one yuan fifty ones. It depends on what kind you like to eat, one big one and one small one."
Few people here buy this because it's expensive, so business isn't good. I wasn't planning to sell it, but I heard that many people will be coming to Peach Blossom Village in the future, and since this place isn't far from Peach Blossom Village, my business is about to start.
People will ask about the price, and seeing that they are dressed very well, I will immediately start introducing them.
"These hawthorns were picked by us from the mountain. They're very fresh and full of sugar. You can't go wrong with them for this price. Would you like to try a few?"
"Okay, give us three that cost two yuan each."
Xia Xue gave the shopkeeper six yuan, and the three of them each took one candied hawthorn. The candied hawthorn was quite big, and the three of them took a bite first.
"Mmm! It's delicious, but I don't have enough money, otherwise I would have rented the entire factory."
"Look, it's people from another team. How did they get here without riding an oxcart?"
"They're also buying candied hawthorns, and a lot of them. Are they not planning to buy groceries?"
"Why not buy? It's already started, isn't it? I don't really understand, especially Lin Yue's team."
"Never mind them, let's go buy it and hurry back. We still have a long bus ride ahead, so we'll have to rely on Xiao Shen for the painting later."
Shen Hua nodded, observing her surroundings. She felt something was amiss; many strange people had suddenly appeared. They looked similar to others, but their gait and the oppressive aura they exuded were undeniable.
They headed towards Peach Blossom Village, showing no fear of arousing suspicion and displaying a clear purpose.
"Xiao Shenhua, what are you looking at? Although there are good-looking girls, none of them are as pretty as you. You're not lowering your standards."
Chen Hua: ...
"I didn't see anything, let's go!"
After buying their things, the three of them went back without watching the other teams' antics.
As soon as she arrived at Peach Blossom Village, Shen Hua was surrounded by people. It turned out that the skill she had shown today had already spread among the villagers who had returned early.
People with minor health issues at home all come over, and everyone wants her to come and take a look. This joy surpasses that of a new person coming over.
When those people arrived today, the village chief was extremely nervous and went to entertain them.
"Xiao Shenhua, um, do you need our help?"
Chen Hua: ...
There were so many people, I started to regret it a little.
"Yes, of course we need to. Let's go together."
"Fellow villagers, come to Wu Xiaotao's house at six o'clock tonight. Those who are seriously ill should come first, as we can't see that many people in one day."
The main reason is that if we go to the villagers' homes, we can't accept the gifts they give us. Also, we want to help Xiao Tao's family.
The villagers will remember their kindness in the future.
Soon, Zhang Lele went to cook, while Shen Hua and Xia Xue set up their medical stall there.
"By the way, I just heard you say that some new people have come to the village. Have they been here before?"
While performing acupuncture, Shen Hua asked questions.
“Someone came here before and even stayed at the village chief’s house. The village chief knows him well. We don’t know what he came for, but it seems to be related to the peach trees in our village.”
"Then why did so many people come this time? Did they say anything?"
The man shook his head and said, "I don't know about that. The village chief was the one who received them. These people didn't talk to anyone else, so I don't know what they were there for."
"Okay, when you get back, don't drink cold water, drink more hot water."
"I feel so much better now. Thank you, doctor! Thank you, doctor!"
