Qiu Yan discovered that Old Man Zhao was missing, so she got up and helped Xia Minrui search for him.
They searched the pharmaceutical factory and the medicinal fields, but couldn't find the person.
She couldn't help but feel anxious, so she went to the mountains and forests to look for the person herself.
Because Old Man Zhao went missing, everyone began searching for him.
They searched the entire village and the entire hill behind the village, but could not find the person.
Little did they know, Old Zhao had already boarded the oxcart at the village entrance and hurriedly headed to Baiyang.
Just an hour earlier, Old Zhao had finished sorting through the newly dug herbs and hadn't even had time to wash his hands when a thought suddenly struck him: he remembered his old pharmacy.
Looking at the sky, it was almost the end of the 9 AM. This was terrible!
He sat on the oxcart and sighed, "Alas, the pharmacy can't do without me."
I wonder if, since he hasn't been there for so long, the patients who came to see him have formed a long queue.
The people on the oxcart all looked at Old Man Zhao with puzzled expressions. One of the men said:
"Old man, you're getting on in years, you shouldn't be running around like this."
Another woman chimed in, "Yes, let's go back."
"What do you mean I'm old? I was seeing patients at the pharmacy yesterday." Old Zhao glanced at the speaker with displeasure and closed his eyes slightly.
The oxcart driver was Qiu Dayong. When he got on the cart, Old Zhao gave him a bag of copper coins, which made him very happy.
As long as there's money to be made, he'll take anyone, regardless of whether they're over seventy or have any ability to make a living.
"That old man has things to do in Baiyang, why are you all worrying about it?"
His wife and daughter, Qiu Huihui and Qian Shi, were also sitting on the oxcart.
The mother and daughter looked at Old Zhao's deeply lined face and his hands covered in mud, glancing at him with their eyes darting around, and sat far away.
They looked disgusted, as if they were afraid that Old Zhao would get their clothes dirty.
As for why the two of them were both on the oxcart...
That's because Qiu Dayong was planning to take Qiu Huihui to the county town to propose marriage.
Qiu Huihui was overjoyed to learn that her fiancé was a wealthy man.
She always wanted to outdo Qiu Yan in everything, and this time, she was about to get her wish.
She believed that with her beauty, the wealthy man would surely fall for her.
As for Madam Qian, she was originally somewhat dissatisfied with the marriage, but now, her family has reached the end of their rope.
Honestly, she really wanted Qiu Dayong to go out and join the army.
To be selfish, if Qiu Dayong were alive, his family could earn military pay every year, and even if the man died, she would still receive a pension.
With money, why would she worry about not having a good life in the future?
This is something Qian Shi only came to understand after the village chief left; however, her husband was a good-for-nothing.
Old Zhao was completely oblivious to the mother and daughter's disdain for him; he was only focused on getting to Baiyang City as soon as possible to start his medical work.
You can't be late.
When Old Zhao is lucid, Bai Yang is very familiar to him, but when he is confused, this place is very unfamiliar.
Unfortunately, his mind wasn't working very well at the moment.
Upon arriving at the gate of Baiyang City, all the other villagers on the cart disembarked.
Now, apart from the Qian mother and daughter, only Old Man Zhao remains.
Old Zhao was dozing off when Qiu Dayong suddenly slapped him hard on the shoulder, startling him.
"What's wrong?"
"Old man, we've arrived in Baiyang. Please get off the bus." Qiu Dayong pulled Old Zhao to get off the bus.
This old man spends a lot of time with Qiu Yan, which Qiu Dayong dislikes.
Consequently, he found the old man extremely annoying.
Old Zhao refused to get out of the car, saying, "You haven't taken me to my destination yet."
