The shopkeeper quickly came out from the backyard, clasped his hands in greeting, and said, "Miss Lu, I'm so sorry for not welcoming you sooner."
Upon hearing this, Lu Qiqi immediately stood up and said with a smile, "You're too kind, shopkeeper."
Lu Qiqi explained her purpose, and the shopkeeper laughed and said, "It's not that I don't want to do business, it's just that planting medicinal herbs in winter is like throwing money into the water, all you get is a splash."
"The shopkeeper only needs to provide the medicinal herbs, and you don't need to worry about anything else," Lu Qiqi said. "As long as they can be grown, whether they are common or rare medicinal herbs, I want them all."
Having received Lu Qiqi's words, the shopkeeper had no more concerns. After the customer's request and reminder, what to do was no longer his concern. "In that case, I will naturally keep a close eye on things for Miss Lu."
"As for fruit trees, we'll have to wait until next spring. Right now, no matter how much money I have, I can't get any saplings."
Lu Qiqi nodded knowingly. Anyway, spring was almost over, so she just had to wait patiently.
After bidding farewell to the seed shop owner, Lu Qiqi left Qingshui Town and headed to the Feng residence in Luzhou Prefecture.
Yesterday, Lu Qiqi did not see Old Madam Feng wake up in person, and she received a lot of gifts from the Feng family. Today, she thought she would personally visit them to express her gratitude.
She also took the opportunity to visit Feng Yu'er. Lu Yao missed Feng Yu'er very much and even asked Lu Qiqi to give her the embroidered talisman that she had made herself for protection.
May Feng Yu'er be blessed with peace and good health.
When Lu Qiqi arrived, she asked a servant to go in and announce her arrival. After waiting for a long time, she saw a servant hurriedly running out the door.
"Miss Lu, my eldest daughter requests your presence at the manor immediately," the servant said urgently as he ran to Lu Qiqi.
Upon hearing this, Lu Qiqi immediately strode into the gate of the Feng residence.
"What happened?" Lu Qiqi asked, following behind the servant.
The servant said, "The old lady suddenly fell ill and coughed up blood."
Lu Qiqi's expression suddenly changed, and she took increasingly larger steps.
After navigating through the winding courtyards, Lu Qiqi finally arrived at Madam Feng's courtyard.
As soon as Lu Qiqi stepped into the courtyard, she heard crying.
Lu Qiqi pursed her lips, guessing that it was probably because Old Madam Feng had passed away, otherwise there would have been no commotion.
Lu Qiqi strode into Madam Feng's room and saw a woman holding a young woman, sitting on a chair outside the room, covering her face with a handkerchief and weeping bitterly.
Lu Qiqi bypassed the two of them and went straight into Madam Feng's room.
"Doctor, what's wrong with my grandmother?" Feng Yu'er asked anxiously, her voice trembling with barely audible sobs.
"The old lady's blood has been attacked by the sudden illness, causing her qi and blood to flow in reverse. This strong medicine cannot be used anymore," the doctor's aged voice rang out.
Feng Yu'er panicked completely. "What should we do? You must save my grandmother!"
The doctor stood up, and the apprentice helped tidy up the equipment.
The doctor bowed to Feng Yu'er and said, "The old lady is nearing the end of her life and I'm afraid she doesn't have much time left. I am not very knowledgeable and am truly powerless to help her. Young lady, please find someone more skilled."
After saying this, the doctor, along with the apprentice, left Madam Feng's room.
Just then, Lu Qiqi brushed past him.
"Grandmother can definitely be saved! You all hurry and find another doctor, quick!" Feng Yu'er said urgently.
After Feng Yu'er shouted, everything went black before her eyes, and her whole body leaned backward.
In the blink of an eye, Lu Qiqi grabbed Feng Yuer's waist, preventing her from falling to the ground.
After recovering, Feng Yu'er opened her eyes and saw Lu Qiqi's worried gaze. Her eyes instantly filled with tears, and she buried her face in Lu Qiqi's arms.
"Waaaaah~ Qiqi, my grandmother is dying."
Lu Qiqi helped Feng Yuer to sit down on the round stool and said softly, "Let me try."
Lu Qiqi's simple four words instantly calmed Feng Yu'er down. How could she forget that Lu Qiqi was a doctor who could even cure the plague!
Feng Yu'er disregarded etiquette, roughly wiping her face with her sleeve, and grasped Lu Qiqi's hand as if grasping at a lifeline, saying, "Qiqi, you must save my grandmother. She's the only elder who cares about me."
Lu Qiqi didn't dare to make a promise, and said calmly, "Then let's not delay, let me take a look first."
Feng Yu'er released Lu Qiqi's hand, and Lu Qiqi walked around the screen to the bedside of Old Madam Feng.
Madam Feng's complexion was even worse than yesterday, and her lips had turned from pale to light purple.
Lu Qiqi lifted Madam Feng's eyelids to check the focus of her eyes, and then gently placed her hand on Madam Feng's wrist to take her pulse.
Seeing Lu Qiqi's furrowed brows, Feng Yu'er's heart clenched as well. Her fingernails unconsciously clenched into her palms. She could feel a warm current, but she didn't feel any pain.
Lu Qiqi released Madam Feng's hand and said, "Yu'er, I need to give Madam acupuncture. Have someone close the door and don't let anyone disturb us."
Feng Yu'er nodded, and Granny Cuizhu wiped away her tears and went to lock the door.
As soon as the door closed, the wailing and crying outside were instantly shut out, and Lu Qiqi felt much quieter.
Lu Qiqi took out a silver needle pouch from her spatial storage, disinfected it briefly, and said, "Granny Cuizhu, please help me unbutton all of the old lady's upper garment."
Granny Cuizhu hesitated for a moment and did not make a move.
“Do as Qiqi says. Her words are the same as my decision!” Feng Yu’er said with unwavering conviction.
Having no other ideas, Granny Cuizhu did as Lu Qiqi instructed and stripped Old Madam Feng naked.
Lu Qiqi held the silver needle in her right hand, found the acupoints, and inserted it into Madam Feng's body.
After being pricked with acupuncture needles more than a dozen times, Lu Qiqi's forehead began to be covered in fine sweat.
Don't be fooled by the fact that acupuncture only requires skill; over time and with more repetitions, it becomes quite difficult.
After Lu Qiqi finished the acupuncture, she asked Granny Cuizhu to help Old Madam Feng put on her clothes.
After putting away the silver needles, Lu Qiqi stepped out from behind the screen, sat down at the tea table, and poured herself a cup of hot tea.
She had just spent a lot of effort administering acupuncture, and now Lu Qiqi was like a withered foxtail grass, desperately needing a glass of water to heal.
After drinking the water and recovering, Lu Qiqi picked up the pen on the coffee table and wrote down the prescription.
Lu Qiqi stopped writing, and Feng Yuer asked, "Qiqi, was my grandmother alright after the acupuncture?"
Lu Qiqi shook her head. "Do you believe me?"
Feng Yu'er replied without hesitation, "Of course I believe you!"
“This prescription is even more potent than using snake gall as a medicinal guide,” Lu Qiqi said, handing the prescription to Feng Yu’er. “If you trust me, then decoct this medicine and give it to the old lady.”
Feng Yu'er took the medicine and asked, "What are the consequences of this prescription?"
Feng Yu'er is naive, but she's not stupid. Lu Qiqi said that the potent prescription must not be an ordinary strong medicine.
Therefore, she must be fully aware of the consequences, whether good or bad, so that she can be mentally prepared.
Lu Qiqi said, "Life and death, fifty percent each!"
Upon hearing that life and death each accounted for 50%, Feng Yu'er's legs went weak, and she almost dropped the prescription, as if it weighed a thousand pounds.
Lu Qiqi is waiting for Feng Yuer to make a decision.
Feng Yu'er closed her eyes briefly, and when she opened them again, her eyes were sharp, as if she had made up her mind. She said coldly, "Granny, give Grandmother the medicine!"
