Although people suffering from heatstroke need ventilation, this is ancient times and a woman's reputation is more important than her life.
Now we are in the forest, there is nothing to block the view, and we can only surround it like a flesh wall.
The men from Huojia Village obediently walked to the Huo family's resting place, but the women walked up to Gao Zhijun and waited for her to speak.
Gao Zhijun explained her intention, and after the women understood, they began to form a human wall.
They built two more layers, surrounding Zhang Laowu's wife completely.
However, although they surrounded Zhang Laowu's wife, they were still far enough apart to allow her to breathe fresh air.
"Daughter, what should we do next?"
Mrs. Lu asked while standing beside Gao Zhijun.
"Auntie, please help this lady take off her coat first to let the heat dissipate."
Gao Zhijun asked Mrs. Lu to help take off Zhang Laowu's wife's coat, and then asked Mrs. Lao to bring some water. She soaked a towel, wrung it out, and applied it to her forehead. Then she used another towel to wipe her body to cool her down.
And after doing it several times, Lao Shi had learned it. She asked Gao Zhijun to leave and took over.
After Lao took it, Gao Zhijun gave Zhang Laowu's wife a bowl of summer-heat tea, then took the fan from Huo Jinxiu's hand and fanned Zhang Laowu's wife.
In less than half an hour, Zhang Laowu's wife finally woke up.
"Wake up, Lu Guizhi wakes up."
A woman in her forties from Huojia Village screamed with joy and excitement. Whether women or men, they were all very excited to hear the good news.
It turns out that Zhang Laowu's wife is called Lu Guizhi.
Zhang Laowu excitedly shook Huo Zhiyuan's hand and said, "Thank you, brother. Thank you for your daughter saving my wife."
Huo Zhiyuan smiled and said, "Well, brother, I do want to thank you, but not to me, but to my daughter."
Huo Zhiyuan's smile made many villagers want to beat him up. He really deserved a beating.
"Okay, I'll go thank Gao girl right away."
After Zhang Laowu finished speaking, he took his two sons and three grandsons to find his wife.
Lu Guizhi woke up, and her two daughters-in-law helped her put on her clothes and helped her up.
"Thank you Miss Gao for saving me. I can't thank you enough for your kindness. This is just a small token of my appreciation. I hope you won't despise it."
Lu Guizhi thanked Gao Zhijun gratefully and took out a hundred copper coins from her long sleeves and gave them to Gao Zhijun.
This was almost all of his belongings, and he only had fifty copper coins left in his sleeve for emergencies.
"Auntie Lu, I don't want the copper coins, please take them back.
Treating illnesses and saving lives is what a doctor should do.
Although I am not a doctor, I know a little about medicine, so I must abide by medical ethics."
Gao Zhijun did not take Lu Guizhi's copper coins. Her family was not well off, and she learned medical skills naturally to cure diseases and save lives.
Even if she opens a clinic in the future, she will not charge consultation fees from the people, but only recover the cost price of the herbs.
As for those who are rich and powerful, they will naturally pay as much as possible.
After all, it is not easy for her to support the clinic.
"Miss Gao, please accept this. You saved our mother-in-law, and our family can't afford to pay you back for saving her life. I hope you'll accept this little bit of money."
Even the doctors at Huichuntang charge money."
Lu Guizhi's eldest daughter-in-law persuaded her.
"Really, no need. You guys aren't living well, so I won't charge you for the consultation. As for the herbs, they're all dug deep in the mountains, so I don't need any money."
Gao Zhijun didn't accept it and gave a simple explanation.
Originally, Lu Guizhi and the three mothers-in-law wanted to say something else, but were interrupted by Mrs. Lu: "Okay, sister-in-law Zhang, since my daughter said it's not necessary, then there's no need. We are all from the same hometown, and it's only natural for us to help each other."
Zhang Laowu originally came here intending to express his gratitude with silver, but Miss Gao refused to accept it, and Huo's younger brother and sister-in-law also said so, so he had to swallow his words back.
The village head saw this as an opportunity, so he said, "Fellow villagers, Miss Gao is a very righteous person. Not only did she save our Huojia Village and Zhang Laowu's wife from the wolves, she also said she would teach everyone about herbs and how to dig them."
As soon as the headman said this, everyone exploded and started talking in groups.
"Miss Gao is such a good person. Not only did she save our entire village, she also taught us how to dig herbs."
"That's right. This is a skill for making a living. If she teaches us, how will she live in the future?"
"Yes, isn't it said that if you teach your apprentice, you will starve the master to death?"
"I'm telling you, even if I learn how to dig herbs, I'll give her 30% of the money I make from selling them."
"Yes, I'll give her some too.
Moreover, if she asks me to help her in the future, I will do my best to help her."
“That’s what I thought.
If she has any problems in the future, I will be obliged to help her."
The villagers began to talk one after another, and the village head was very satisfied. Not everyone in the village was selfish, and most people were grateful.
Mrs. Lao, Mrs. Lu, and Mrs. Yu, the three aunts, pulled Gao Zhijun away. Mrs. Lao anxiously asked, "Girl, how can you teach the villagers how to make a living? How can you make money yourself?"
"That's right, listen to Auntie. You can't teach this skill to the villagers. Because many villagers are ungrateful, and when they can't make money, they will blame you."
"My daughter, your aunt and your third aunt are both right. You can't teach others how to make a living. If you do that, you won't be able to make money yourself."
Mrs. Lao, Mrs. Yu, and Mrs. Lu all opposed Gao Zhijun teaching the villagers to dig herbs and were trying to persuade her.
