Chapter 681: Serious Illness
After listening to Xu Miaomiao's words, the people around her stopped talking. They just looked at each other and stopped talking.
Perhaps they really just used Xu Miaomiao as an excuse to vent, so no one said anything more. They just quietly stepped aside and didn't speak any more.
Seeing the looks of the crowd, Xu Miaomiao sneered and returned home.
It was true that she had the antidote, but she absolutely could not let these people throw dirty water on her. Seeing Xu Miaomiao was about to leave, everyone immediately spoke anxiously.
"Madam Xu, it's all our fault. We were too anxious at the time, but please understand us."
"Madam Xu, you were able to cure the plague last time, so you can definitely do it this time."
"Yeah, look, everyone in your family is fine, right?"
Listening to what everyone said, Xu Miaomiao clenched her fists in her sleeves, veins popped out on her arms, and she looked at the people in front of her with a bad face: "So it's us who made no one in our family get sick? Why did you kidnap me like this? You have to make our family members get sick like you, so you don't have any complaints!"
Xu Miaomiao's words were still a little angry after all. Now she even doubted whether she was right or wrong to have saved the people here. For a moment, no one spoke.
Gu Yuanniang, who was standing by, couldn't stand it any longer, so she stepped forward and said, "Everyone, why don't you go find the doctors in Bai County? I guess they are afraid of getting sick and infected, so they won't accept patients at home. They are all like this, so you took advantage of Miaomiao's kindness and forced her into doing this. You really have good intentions. All of a sudden, all the faults are ours."
Although everyone felt guilty, they were also dissatisfied when they heard what Gu Yuanniang said.
"She is a doctor, she should save lives and heal the wounded."
"Yeah, what if she doesn't care about us?"
Seeing this, Li Yi immediately spoke up to help Xu Miaomiao: "If I remember correctly, you are a vegetable grower, why don't you give some to everyone? Your family also runs a pharmacy, why don't you share some with everyone? My master opened a store. Everyone in Bai County knows that when he opened the store, he looked down on her because she was a woman and belittled the store. Now he says that she is a doctor and it is her duty to save the dying and the wounded. So whoever is in power has the final say now."
When Xu Miaomiao heard Li Yi say this, she was amused. She didn't want to care what the person outside looked like, so she asked someone to close the door and hurried back to the house.
As soon as she entered the door, Gu Yuanniang was still mumbling: "What? Just seeing who is easier to bully."
Listening to Gu Yuanniang's words, Xu Miaomiao smiled and looked at her before speaking: "Forget it, although what we said is true, we do have the antidote, but we don't have enough to share with them, so let's not talk about this matter."
"It's you. How did you treat them during the plague? Now you've got people looking for you."
Gu Yuanniang was mumbling something, so Xu Miaomiao didn't say anything else.
The noise outside the door gradually became quieter. Presumably, the people guarding outside had already left. Seeing that Xu Miaomiao did not go out, they knew that no matter what they said, they were all rumors. They did not dare to break in directly, so they did not stay any longer when they saw this.
Xu Miaomiao sighed and returned to the house, looking at the bottles and jars on her table and sighed. Now there is no antidote, and it must be extremely difficult to develop this antidote.
"Mother, what's wrong?"
As Xiaobao stepped in, he saw Xu Miaomiao sighing while holding something in her hand. Xu Miaomiao felt distressed, so she took a step closer, followed by Gu Yuan's mother.
"Mother, the medical book you asked me to repair has been completed."
Xiaobao raised his hand and handed over what he had in his hand.
Xu Miaomiao nodded slightly, took the thing, opened the book and flipped through a few pages at random, looked at the content, and nodded: "It's really good. I think you have already memorized everything on it."
Xiao Bao smiled, and Gu Yuan's mother behind him also laughed: "Our Xiao Bao is the best."
"Mother, is there anything bothering you?"
Xiao Bao smiled at Gu Yuan's mother, and then turned his eyes to Xu Miaomiao. She had clearly seen the bitter and resentful look on Xu Miaomiao's face just now.
Xu Miaomiao didn't intend to hide it and just nodded at Xiaobao.
Gu Yuanniang stepped forward, looked at the medicine jar in Xu Miaomiao's hand, and then looked at the prescription written next to it. She immediately said, "Why are you still researching the antidote? Those people treated us so badly, and even used their worst malice to guess at us. Why are you still helping them develop the antidote?"
Gu Yuanniang really couldn't understand. She couldn't repay evil with kindness, and she couldn't welcome others with a smile when they came to bully her.
Xu Miaomiao sighed, pulled Gu Yuanniang's sleeve, looked at her, eyes very serious: "I'm not doing this for them. First of all, some people are innocent. Since I'm studying medicine, I have to do some research. Besides, if everyone in the city is really sick and only our family is well, it will inevitably cause trouble. And Liuniang, if this disease can't be cured, Bai County will be finished. We have lived here for so long, can you bear to do that?"
Gu Yuanniang looked a little conflicted. She thought for a moment, then sighed, as if she had compromised. She slowly said, "That's good, but it's a pity that those people may not appreciate your friendship. And now we have lost the last antidote. What can we do now?"
Xiao Bao was listening to Gu Yuanniang and Xu Miaomiao's words, and stopped what they were saying. Seeing the two of them like this, Xiao Bao took out a white porcelain bottle from his body and said, "Mother, is this what you are talking about?"
Xu Miaomiao reached out and took the thing curiously, put it to her nose and smelled it, it was the smell of antidote.
"How did you get this?" Xu Miaomiao asked curiously.
Gu Yuanniang was also a little surprised: "Didn't you eat?"
Xu Miaomiao was a little nervous. This disease was very serious. She stared at Xiaobao seriously.
"I ate it, mother, don't worry." Xiaobao said immediately: "My godmother asked us to eat this before, and my brother and sister ate it without thinking much, but I smelled this smell a little familiar, so I took a little off. It's okay, it won't affect the efficacy of the medicine."
"Of course not!"
Xu Miaomiao stood up anxiously: "Each medicine is made so big, there must be a reason for it, why don't you take it."
"Mom, don't be angry, I will protect myself and won't get sick."
