Shen Qiqi's brows were tightly furrowed, like two towering mountains, making people afraid to approach easily.
Her little mouth kept chattering like a perpetual motion machine, persuading old Mrs. Lu to accept the new treatment.
"Mom, you really have to believe me. When have I, Shen Qiqi, ever been bad at doing things?" She said in a firm tone, as if she was claiming sovereignty.
Old Mrs. Lu still had a stern face, like a piece of thousand-year-old ice, which made people break out in cold sweats.
The elderly people in the village also came over, their eyes full of suspicion about the new treatment.
After all, in their hearts, the ancestral folk remedies are the eternal gods.
"Tsk, this girl is really good at talking!"
"Is that new method she's talking about reliable? Don't let it cause trouble for others!"
The villagers whispered to each other like a swarm of buzzing bees, making Shen Qiqi feel like her head was about to explode.
She looked around and found that the whole village was shrouded in a tense atmosphere. The air seemed to be frozen, making it hard to breathe.
At this moment, a loud voice broke the frozen air, "Comrade Shen! Comrade Shen! Good news, great news!"
Doctor Zhang rushed over like a gust of wind, and the wrinkles on his face turned into a blooming chrysanthemum with a smile.
He was panting, but couldn't hide his excitement. "Comrade Shen, I've negotiated with the hospital, and they've agreed to send doctors to our village regularly! They've also agreed to provide a batch of medicines!"
"Really?!" Shen Qiqi's eyes lit up, as if she saw the dawn of hope.
She grabbed Dr. Zhang's arm, her voice trembling with excitement. "Dr. Zhang, you are such a great benefactor to me! You are like my adopted parents!"
Doctor Zhang was amused by Shen Qiqi's exaggerated metaphor. He patted his chest and said proudly, "This is what I should do! Who makes you, Comrade Shen, so courageous? I, Old Zhang, have long since let it go. Rural medical care depends on you young people!"
"And me! And me!" Nurse Liu also ran over, carrying a large bundle in her hand, and said breathlessly, "Comrade Shen, I will come to the village often to help in the future. Just let me know if you need anything!"
Shen Qiqi looked at the two lovely people in front of her, her heart filled with tears of excitement.
This feeling is just like winning the first prize in the lottery!
She couldn't help but clench her fists, and a raging fire ignited in her heart.
But when she came to her senses and saw the medicines brought by Doctor Zhang, her face was once again filled with gloom. Her fingers kept stroking her chin, and her eyes rolled around, as if she was thinking about something.
“Doctor Zhang, although there is medical support, it is still not enough…” Before Shen Qiqi finished speaking, she pulled Lu Qing and walked out of the door quickly.
Shen Qiqi frowned and tapped her fingers on her chin to play "Symphony of Fate".
"This little bit of medicine is not even enough to fill the gaps between my teeth!" She sighed, her tone full of helplessness towards reality, just like a social animal who works overtime until late at night.
"What should we do? We can't just let the folks wait, right?" Lu Qing scratched his head, looking confused, just like a student cramming before the final exam.
"The hermit has a clever plan!" Shen Qiqi's eyes rolled and a plan came to mind.
She grabbed Lu Qing and said mysteriously, "Come with me, I'll take you treasure hunting!"
After that, Shen Qiqi hurriedly dragged Lu Qing out of the village, leaving Old Lady Lu and the old men and women in the village looking at each other in bewilderment.
"What tricks is this girl up to?" Old Mrs. Lu muttered softly, her tone full of worry, just like an old mother who was worried that her child was lost.
"Who knows, this little girl has so many clever ideas!" The aunties in the village also started talking about it, their tone full of curiosity, just like the audience who have reached the climax of the drama.
Shen Qiqi brought Lu Qing to a hillside outside the village.
There are green trees, birds singing and flowers blooming, and the air is filled with the fragrance of soil, which makes people feel relaxed and happy.
"Qiqi, why did you bring me here?" Lu Qing looked confused, just like the man from Wuling who accidentally entered the Peach Blossom Spring.
"Of course it's to collect herbs!" Shen Qiqi raised her eyebrows proudly, just like Columbus who discovered the New World.
She pointed to a plant on the hillside and said excitedly, "Look, this is honeysuckle, a good medicine for clearing away heat and detoxifying!"
Lu Qing watched Shen Qiqi picking herbs skillfully, and he suddenly felt that his wife was really a treasure girl!
Time passed minute by minute, and Shen Qiqi's backpack was filled with various herbs.
She wiped the sweat from her forehead and a satisfied smile appeared on her face, just like a farmer with a good harvest.
"Okay, time to call it a day!" Shen Qiqi clapped her hands, her tone full of a sense of accomplishment, like a workplace elite who had completed their performance indicators (KPIs).
Back in the village, Shen Qiqi poured the collected herbs on the ground, and suddenly, a fresh herbal scent filled the air, refreshing people.
Old Mrs. Lu and the elderly men and women in the village gathered around and looked at the herbs curiously.
"Qiqi, can these herbs really cure diseases?" Old Mrs. Lu asked doubtfully, her tone full of worry, just like a diner trying new dishes for the first time.
"Of course!" Shen Qiqi answered confidently, her tone full of affirmation, like an experienced doctor.
“Then…” Mrs. Lu wanted to ask something else, but was interrupted by Shen Qiqi.
"Mom, don't worry, I know what's going on!" Shen Qiqi said, and began to sort the herbs. Lu Qing also came over to help silently.
The two looked at each other...
Lu Qing accompanied Shen Qiqi to sort out the herbs. Their fingers occasionally touched lightly, and a subtle feeling like an electric current rippled in their hearts.
