"Miss, our medicine shop is a small business. The herbs you need are scarce and we don't have them here. If you must gather all the herbs in the prescription, you have to go to Yandu, where herbs are abundant and should have what you need."
After Li Xia took some simple protective measures and came out of the inn wearing a veil and a hat, she searched along the streets for drugstores and clinics of all sizes in the city.
She also prepared herself mentally before going out.
I know that there are wars everywhere now and there will be a shortage of medicinal materials.
But Li Xia didn't expect it.
She couldn't even find a single ingredient in the prescription.
Li Xia raised his hand and took out the prescription from his lapel. The clerks in the drug stores and the doctors in the clinic all shook their heads.
This means that they don’t have the medicinal ingredients listed in the prescription.
This is the last pharmacy in the city.
The result is still the same.
However, the clerk in the shop was kind enough to provide Li Xia with a place where the herbs on the prescription might be found.
But it's a long way there.
By the time I go to Yandu to get the medicine back, the round trip will take at least half a month.
The people in the city can't hold out that long.
So even though Yan would have the medicines in the prescription, it was not realistic to make a trip there.
Li Xia frowned, pursed her lips, opened her mouth, and thanked the drugstore clerk: "Okay, I understand, thank you."
She raised her eyes to look at the waiter and nodded.
It seems that I can only think of other solutions.
She had visited all the pharmacies and clinics in the city, and now she was afraid she could only go to the mountains outside the city to try her luck.
If nothing works in the end.
Just think of other ways.
Li Xia lowered her eyelids and thought about it.
It's getting late now, so I have to go back first.
Try to go out early tomorrow morning and go up the mountain to see if there will be any unexpected surprises.
Li Xia licked her lips, turned around and walked out of the pharmacy, and walked towards the inn.
Before I knew it, it was almost noon.
Xiao Yousheng had been alone in the inn room for most of the day, and he had to go back quickly.
Otherwise, if he saw that she hadn't come back for so long, he would definitely be anxious.
Li Xia thought of Li Yousheng.
She did not dare to delay and walked quickly forward.
After a while.
“Squeak—”
"Sister, you're back just in time. The waiter just brought the lunch up and it's still hot. I'll get you some hot water so you can wash your face and eat."
Li Yousheng heard footsteps coming from outside the door. He raised his head and looked towards the door, then saw Li Xia pushing the door and walking in.
He took a step forward and trotted to Li Xia.
He raised his eyes, looked into her eyes, and spoke in sign language.
Li Xia shook her head, licked her lips, and said, "Yousheng, don't bother. It's not too cold today, and there's still hot water in the basin from this morning. Just use it to wash your hands."
As soon as she finished speaking, she walked over to the wooden stand where the basin was placed.
I washed my face with the hot water I used for washing my face in the morning, and at the same time removed the dust that had accumulated on my body from the road.
Li Yousheng blinked his eyes and continued, "Then I'll go set the table and wash your hands, and then we can eat."
My sister is finally back.
She was out doing work for most of the day today.
It's time for lunch now. My sister just drank some porridge when she went out in the morning.
Those were all soupy things, not filling at all.
My sister must be very hungry if she comes back at this time.
"Okay, Yousheng, thank you then. I won't be polite anymore, sister." Li Xia did not refuse Li Yousheng's kindness anymore.
She understands him.
Yousheng always felt that he could not help her in any way by staying with her.
Sometimes, they do good things with bad intentions and end up doing more harm than good.
I can't just let him do nothing.
He already felt like a burden to her.
If he is not allowed to do anything and is not allowed to participate in anything, he will probably think that he is even more useless.
While Li Xia washed her hands, Li Yousheng helped her add more rice.
"Sister, come here and sit down, eat while it's hot." He raised his hand, waved at Li Xia, and said in sign language.
"Well, Yousheng, you eat too."
Li Xia sat at the table. She picked up the chopsticks on the table and found a few pieces of meat in the dish. She put all the meat into Li Yousheng's bowl. "Yousheng, you are a child. Your body needs nutrition. You should finish these pieces of meat."
Because of the war, many supplies were in short supply.
The situation in Yicheng is relatively good.
In some places, people can't even afford rice soup, and when they are extremely hungry they can only chew tree bark to fill their stomachs.
They can still eat rice now, which makes them much better off than people in many other places.
Li Yousheng bit his lower lip, shook his head, raised his hand and gestured: "Sister, you had a headache this morning. Sister has not had a good rest in the past few days. Now you are not feeling well and need more nutrition."
He then put the pieces of meat that Li Xia had given him into her bowl.
My sister has to work so hard every day and also has to worry about herself.
She works so hard, yet she always saves every little bit of good stuff for herself.
Li Yousheng felt that he really didn't deserve it.
"Yousheng, you don't even listen to your sister now, right?" Li Xia blinked, she lowered her eyes and stared at Li Yousheng, pursed her lips, opened her mouth and said to him: "Didn't you say that no matter what I say, you will listen to me? It's only been a few days, and you don't believe what you said? What did I teach you? We must keep our promises and be trustworthy. Since we have made a promise, we must do what we say. It is mean to say but not do it."
