After revealing his identity, Zhou Xiangfeng became unusually active. He first began to treat patients with great efficiency, focusing on those with serious illnesses. Then he prescribed and prepared medicine, and within a few hours, a strong aroma of Chinese medicine filled the air.
After taking the medicine, many people felt their symptoms were relieved, whether it was a placebo effect or not. However, as time went on, an accident soon occurred. A patient with ulcers all over his body convulsed and vomited blood after drinking the medicine, causing panic among those around him.
Upon learning the news, Zhou Xiangfeng quickly stepped forward and used acupuncture to temporarily salvage the situation.
Lin Zhaozhao withdrew her gaze, sighing inwardly that this young man was not just a handsome face, but also had some real skills.
Before Zhou Xiangfeng arrived, Lin Zhaozhao used her supernatural ability to scan the sealed-off area. Basically, all the patients with symptoms were covered with a layer of death, some light and some dark. After this scan, the deathly aura seemed to have faded a bit.
Just when Lin Zhaozhao thought things were getting better, the fire spread to her. First, Ping An was infected, then the elderly Lin and Li, who were not in good health, and then Li Minghui and Li Minghuang.
To prevent this, she personally oversaw the meals for both the Lin and Li families, replacing the water with spiritual spring water, which shouldn't have been done in the first place.
After careful questioning, Lin Zhaozhao learned that she had been infected by drinking the medicinal soup brought by the medicine boy.
She thought that because she had superpowers, her fever would subside quickly. But even after working on it until midnight, Lin Zhaozhao's symptoms did not improve. In desperation, she found a secluded spot and carried Ping An into her spatial dimension.
From afar, she saw the four little ones running towards her. Lin Zhaozhao wasn't in the mood at the moment, so she perfunctorily fed them some supernatural abilities and asked the system if it had any remedies for the illness.
Without hesitation, the system quickly presented the "cure-all" prescription. Clicking on the panel, Lin Zhaozhao could faintly see the panel shimmering with starlight, exceptionally dazzling.
When she scrolled down to the price, Lin Zhaozhao looked blank. She finally understood why the system's eyes were sparkling. Damn it, this prescription costs 30 million.
"You're robbing me!" Lin Zhaozhao said angrily, a smiling face appearing on her screen that looked incredibly irritating.
Recently, she sold potted plants and fruits, running around inside and outside her shop. She worked herself to the bone for two months and saved up 30 million yuan, just in case. But then, a prescription cost her all her savings.
Practice makes perfect, and Lin Zhaozhao finally understood that this damn online store couldn't stand her having any savings.
But with Ping An suffering from a high fever, she had no other choice but to continue recklessly.
On second thought, the system was actually a bit better in the third instance; at least it didn't put her in debt.
Feeling a little relieved, Lin Zhaozhao bought the "cure-all" prescription. Upon opening it and reading the details, she discovered that the prescription could be adapted to any situation, or more accurately, it could be used to treat specific symptoms. This meant that it could quickly provide a solution for any ailment, making it practically a mobile encyclopedia. No wonder it cost 30 million.
The prescription touched Ping An, and lines of text appeared on the panel. After reading through them, Lin Zhaozhao understood why she couldn't reduce her fever even with her superpowers. It was mainly because Lin Jinxiu and the system she was bound to had intervened. The system's products were always of high quality, and her superpowers were still slightly inferior.
Following the prescription, Lin Zhaozhao quickly bought the medicine from the online store and prepared it. Once the medicine was ready and warm, she fed it to Ping An. The little guy's furrowed brows visibly relaxed, and his high fever slowly subsided to normal.
Lin Zhaozhao breathed a sigh of relief. It seemed that the system she was bound to was slightly better than Lin Jinxiu's. The money she had invested hadn't been wasted.
"Of course, I am a product of advanced future technology. How dare that defective product compare to me?" The child's lively and innocent voice suddenly rang out, filled with pride and arrogance. Lin Zhaozhao frowned, wrinkled her nose, and was speechless.
"What's with that expression? You owe your success today to my hard work and dedication." The child's soft, cute voice clashed sharply with his smug, domineering words, and Lin Zhaozhao's heart skipped a beat. "For example..."
"You can travel to this world."
"Let me elaborate."
"No, honey, it's a secret."
"Tsk, what a waste of all that money." Lin Zhaozhao snorted coldly, carried Ping An out of the space, and fed the remaining medicine to Old Lady Lin, Old Lady Li, Li Minghui, and Li Minghuang one by one.
The system, however, wouldn't have it, and began to boast about its accomplishments like a chatterbox. It mentioned how much energy it used to make her travel, how much hardship it endured to provide convenience, and how it practically wore itself out trying to keep the shop running...
Lin Zhaozhao clearly hated people chattering in her ear, but she found herself inexplicably enjoying the child's murmurs, and her brows relaxed as she drifted off to sleep.
She had a long-awaited dream. She was standing at the door wearing a cloak, leading a little boy who looked like a white jade dumpling. Outside, everything was covered in silver, and the bells on the carriage were jingling.
The little boy, with his rosy lips and white teeth, excitedly stomped his feet. The moment the carriage stopped, he rushed out, shouting, "Dad, Mom's hands are cold from waiting. Please warm them for her!"
The man stood tall and straight, carrying the little girl in one arm. As he walked towards her, a gust of cold wind blew. His calloused fingertips covered her hands, causing a slight itch and a prickling sensation. Their breaths mingled, and as she watched the man's face gradually become clearer, a series of sounds pierced her dream.
"Fire! Quick, put out the fire!" Everyone rushed out and saw a wooden house billowing black smoke. The wooden house was the one containing medicine and food.
The arrested apprentice chuckled softly, his face swollen like a pig's. Zhou Xiangfeng was clearly taken aback, his eyes reddening. "Why?"
"Every man for himself, or the world will destroy him. Only by doing this can my family and I have a way to survive." The boy's eyes flashed with madness, and Zhou Xiangfeng lowered his eyelids.
Enraged, the others began to beat the boy mercilessly. Just then, the door was flung open, and a group of constables rushed in and protected the boy.
Given the situation, Zhou Xiangfeng had no choice but to believe it. Thinking back to the persuasion he had received before coming, he belatedly realized that this was a trap set for his father using him.
"Who else wants to leave?" Zhou Xiangfeng, who had figured it out, stared at the apprentice who had been with him for several years with bloodshot eyes. The apprentices looked at each other, and in the end, only one was left, and he was the most inconspicuous one.
Once things calmed down, all that remained in the room were the medicinal herbs that had been almost completely burned. Zhou Xiangfeng wiped his face hard and began to tidy up the mess.
However, the people who were imprisoned here did not want to let him go. They resented him for letting the culprit go so easily, and they even attacked him while hurling insults. If it weren't for the young medicine boy blocking him, Zhou Xiangfeng would probably have been injured even more seriously.
Lin Zhaozhao and Lin Yangyang stepped forward and threw the troublemakers aside, one in each hand.
"What are you making a fuss about? Do you think we owe you anything? He brought those medicinal herbs, and even if he throws them all away, it's none of your business."
"Helping you has only led to enmity; you ungrateful wretch."
"It didn't happen to you, so of course you can make sarcastic remarks." Faced with Lin Yangyang's strength, they could only vent their anger verbally, and then run away after their verbal sparring.
"Young master, don't be discouraged, the master will find a way." The young apprentice Zhou Ran treated Zhou Xiangfeng's wounds with tears in his eyes, feeling increasingly distressed.
The young master has been pampered since childhood and has never suffered such humiliation. When he first arrived, he was eager to show his skills and prove to the master that he could stand on his own. But after only one day, he has become so dejected.
“It was my fault for misjudging people. I don’t know how much trouble I’ll cause Father this time. Father is right, I’m only suited to be a carefree playboy, spending my days playing with birds and doing nothing.” Zhou Xiangfeng’s jawline was cold and hard, and his eyes were dull and lifeless.
