Xia Fei drove off with Zhou Hua. Zhou Xiang, carrying a water bottle and a long cloth bag, accompanied Xiao Xiaoxiao to the acupuncture treatment. He forbade Old Man Xiao to follow him, saying, "You should rest at home. It's hot, why are you running around with us? We're here to keep you company!"
Old Master Xiao was forced to stay, and Zhou Xiang and Ling Ran accompanied Xiao Xiaoxiao to see Doctor Cao.
On the way, Xiao Xiaoxiao was half-filled with water by Zhou Xiang. When she was given the injection, Zhou Xiang pulled Doctor Cao aside and handed him the cloth bag.
"Doctor Cao, my brother's ginseng tea is almost gone. Can you make some more? Here are three ginseng roots. One is for you, and the other two are for making tea."
Upon hearing this, Doctor Cao immediately took the cloth bag, opened it, took a look, and quickly rolled it up. He nodded at her and said, "Look at you, you always use rags and towels to roll it up randomly. You ruin all the good things."
"In my hands, it's junk."
Doctor Cao was speechless. This was a twisted statement, but it made sense!
He carefully put away the cloth bag, went to twirl Xiao Xiaoxiao's needle, and sat down to continue talking to Zhou Xiang. "Ren Qing likes to go out and dig medicinal herbs when he has nothing to do. Yesterday, he dug up a basket of Polygonatum multiflorum and Polygonatum sibiricum from the hills near Xiao Xiezhuang. They're not as good as what you dug that year, but they're much better than the average. He went digging again early this morning."
Zhou thought for a moment. She had forgotten about this. It seemed that in the past few years, the two medicinal herbs not only came back to life, but also printed a lot! It was just that the medicinal properties had changed, or was it because of the outside air?
Aren’t quite a few printed?
Someone from Xiaoxie Village curiously asked Ren Qing what he was digging. After Ren Qing told the truth, people from Xiaoxie Village came soon and forbade Ren Qing to dig.
"My dear girl, this mountain belongs to our Xiaoxie Village. The things in your basket are the reward you told us to give us. You are not allowed to dig any more, or we will take away your basket as well."
Ren Qing was chased away by the crowd. She carried her basket on her back and shouted anxiously, "Dig slowly. If you dig it up, not only will the medicinal properties be damaged, but it will also be worthless."
How could the looters listen to her? During the shoving and jostling, Ren Qing sprained her ankle.
At this moment, she just limped back, which scared Zhou Xiang and Doctor Cao.
"Ren Qing, are you okay?" Ren Qing's clothes were also covered in mud, and he looked very disheveled.
Ren Qing let Zhou Xiang take over her backpack, "It's okay, I sprained my ankle."
Doctor Cao asked her to sit down quickly. He took a look at her and was relieved to see that it was just a slight swelling. This girl was smart and capable, and didn't talk much. He could understand her immediately after giving her a few pointers. After getting along with her, he really treated her as his apprentice.
Zhou Xiang didn't believe it. How could a man who went into the mountains to dig medicinal herbs all year round sprain his ankle on an ordinary hill like a vast plain in the town?
"Was he pushed?"
Ren Qing was stunned for a moment, then nodded, "Yes, Xiao Xie Village doesn't allow me to dig medicinal herbs."
Zhou Xiang laughed. If it wasn't for making false evidence to cover up the truth, it would be strange if the broken hill in Xiao Xie Village could produce any medicinal herbs. Well, let's all dig together. It would be great if they were extinct in two years.
Now that the evidence is out, we have the certification of a big gang to help destroy the evidence. That’s great!
Ling Ran held her hand. There was no need to guess, everyone knew that it was the little girl who planted the disease.
Doctor Cao was also very angry. "If they come to sell, I will only charge fifty cents per pound." It would be a pity to waste it if he didn't buy it, but he would feel aggrieved if he bought it at a high price.
Zhou Xiang also nodded, "Yes, lower the price. If they go to the county town to sell, it's fine. The travel expenses plus the price reduction will be about the same."
Ren Qing felt warm in his heart. They were all feeling sorry for him. "Okay!"
Xiao Xiaoxiao had already gotten up and just wanted to take a break. Seeing the sun rising higher, Zhou wanted to call her to get up and leave.
Xiao Xiaoxiao agreed, stood up but lay back down again, "I feel dizzy."
Doctor Cao was startled and hurried over to take the patient's pulse and asked a few questions.
But Xiao Xiaoxiao's dizziness had passed. Doctor Cao told Zhou Xiang, "She must not be left alone. If she faints, it will be even more troublesome. It seems that the blood clot has loosened. Come back tomorrow and I will prescribe some medicine for her."
"Okay!" Zhou Xiang handed the kettle to Ling Ran, and she went to support Xiao Xiaoxiao. Xiao Xiaoxiao had recovered from the dizziness and didn't want her to support her.
But Zhou Xiang criticized him, "This is the treatment period, you have to listen to the doctor in everything. Doctor Cao said you can't leave your side and you have to start taking medicine tomorrow. Your condition has changed, you should be happy and follow the doctor's orders."
Xiao Xiaoxiao nodded immediately, "Yes, think about it, you are right, I will obey you."
Seeing his granddaughter being helped back by Zhou Xiang, Mr. Xiao was frightened, "Xiaoxiao, what's wrong with you?"
"I'm fine! Don't be afraid, Grandpa. I fainted for a moment, and Doctor Cao said I can't leave her alone. I'll start taking medicine tomorrow."
Old Master Xiao smiled with red eyes, "Okay, don't run around anymore. I'll ask Xiao Guo to follow you every day."
Xiao Xiaoxiao was pressed down on a chair by Zhou Xiang and said, "I don't want Xiao Guo to follow me."
"Then you should stay indoors every day and don't run around."
"Okay! I'll be obedient. When I get better, I can go out and play, right?"
"Yes."
This time, Luo Shaoqiang was certain that this sister was a little abnormal.
Yingying sat next to Xiao Xiaoxiao, "Sister Xiaoxiao, are you feeling unwell?"
Xiao Xiaoxiao smiled and said, "I felt dizzy for a bit, but I'm fine now. However, I can't play with you guys for the next few days."
"Oh! It's okay. The sun is too strong outside. It's better for us to stay at home."
It was only when Luo Shaoqiang asked that Zhou Xiang told him about Xiao Xiaoxiao's condition and the cause of her illness.
Luo Shaoqiang asked, "Can she be cured like this?"
"Yes! As long as the blood clots dissipate, she will be back to normal. It's a pity that she wasted her time studying."
"Just catch up on your studies. Isn't it said that you can keep learning throughout your life? Only when you have a healthy body can you pursue higher goals."
"Oh my! That's great! It's amazing that our handsome Qiangqiang can come up with such a truth."
Luo Shaoqiang replied with a smile: "I learned this from you, Sister Xiangxiang."
"Go away, and don't push everything onto me from now on. What you become is up to you, not me."
"Yes, yes, think about it, sister is right."
"You've become a shrewd person. You'd better not stay here. You've become a shrewd person."
"I'm not leaving!"
After saying that, he ran away, fearing that Sister Xiangxiang would chase him back to the county town. He liked chatting with Lu Jin and the others here.
When Zhou Hua went to the county town, he received an extremely warm reception, naturally from Old Mrs. Xiao.
Old Mrs. Xiao praised Zhou Hua and her granddaughter. When she heard that she was going to take her granddaughter to live in the town for a while, she wanted to help pack her luggage herself.
After Xiao's mother brought the luggage, Zhou Hua and Xiao Chunmei finally escaped the old lady's nagging. They sat in the back seat of the car and waved to Old Lady Xiao and Xiao's mother. Zhou Hua told Xia Fei to drive quickly. He had originally wanted to take Xia Guo and Qiu Shi to play with him, but he didn't want to. He couldn't stay any longer.
Looking at the car leaving, Mrs. Xiao was all smiles, and she even followed the driver! How nice!
Xiao's mother had no choice but to go back to the house. It was unclear whether Zhou Hua would dare to come again.
