The distance was indeed far, and I could see it just after turning the corner of the road.
The drugstore looked even older than the clinic, with a tattered couplet pasted on the door.
"I wish that people in the world would be free of disease, so why worry about the medicine on the shelf gathering dust?"
Pushing the door open, the interior layout was fairly acceptable, with large medicine racks filling the entire room.
An old man with a white beard was sitting in front of a wooden table, dozing off.
The three of them came in and made no noise, but they didn't wake anyone up.
"Doctor, wake up!"
Ye Changyuan stood aside and knocked on the table.
"Hmm... Hmm. Who is sick? Sit down and let me see..."
The white-bearded old man was half asleep, and while talking he was trying to put his reading glasses on.
"Doctor, we are here to see the doctor and prescribe medicine."
Ye Xiaoxiao took out a pill from her pocket and handed it to the other person, looking like she had prepared it.
"Let me see...leeches, cottonwood, myrrh, frankincense..."
After reading the medicine, Song Guangjing smiled and said, "This is quite a good idea. I don't know which doctor prescribed it."
"Doctor, is there any problem?" Ye Changsheng asked with confidence.
Song Guangjing: "No problem, it's mainly used to treat bone injuries and pain, but it requires a lot of courage, and only old doctors with many years of practice dare to prescribe it."
"Doctor, this is my advice."
Ye Xiaoxiao saw that the man who pointed out the problem was a capable senior, so she did not hide it.
This time, Song Guangjing was truly surprised.
I didn't expect that the lottery ticket turned out to be a doll.
"How many years have you studied medicine?"
Ye Xiaoxiao: "I studied medicine first, then learned to read. It has been more than ten years since I started."
Song Guangjing nodded. This girl in this town is better than the heirs that those rubbish spent decades cultivating. He praised her generously, "You're right. Wait for me to get you some medicine."
The old man was very quick in picking up the medicine. Even when he was in a dimly lit area, he could still open the right drawer accurately.
Others would grab the medicine while weighing it, but this old man would grab the medicine quickly, put it on the scale and check, and it was exactly the same.
Song Guangjing: "Five doses of medicine, a total of five dollars and seventy-five cents."
After Ye Xiaoxiao gave the money, she took the medicine bag.
Song Guangjing: "Kid, who taught you medicine?"
Ye Xiaoxiao: "My teacher asked me to speak."
Song Guangjing did not embarrass the child, but just said: "Come to my place more often when you have time. You are welcome here."
Ye Xiaoxiao: “…Thank you.”
After they left the house, Ye Changyuan said angrily, "Isn't that old man normal? Who would come to the pharmacy for no reason?"
Ye Xiaoxiao just smiled and said nothing. This should be what the old man meant.
The three of them happened to pass by the clinic on their way home, but Ye Changsheng was already well, so there was no need to go in. Besides, there was still medicine bought by Ye Xiaoxiao at home, and they hadn't finished it yet.
However, when the three of them passed by the entrance of the toilet, they found that there was a commotion outside the door. Many people were gathered there watching the excitement, and some dirty words were heard from time to time.
Ye Changyuan: "What's going on? It looks like something's going on."
Ye Xiaoxiaoxiao raised her head, thinking that she had encountered a medical problem.
Ye Changsheng loved to watch the excitement, so he just urged: "It has nothing to do with us, hurry home, grandma will be worried soon."
Although Ye Changyuan was one year older, he was not as calm as his brother. Instead, he stuffed the things he was carrying into Ye Changsheng's arms and went forward to inquire about the news.
After a while, Ye Changyuan ran back.
He gestured with his hands and feet, "Guess what happened? A child got an injection here and became paralyzed when he got home. Now he can even get off the kang and walk."
Ye Xiaoxiao's expression changed slightly.
It turns out that Ye Changsheng's mistake was an isolated case!
The reality was cruel, a thousand times worse than when she read the words in the book. At this moment, she had a hint of realization.
She is not in a book, but in the bloody real society.
Ye Changyuan was still saying, "Fortunately, Brother Sheng, you didn't get the injection here. That doctor is really reliable."
Ye Changsheng retorted: "But everyone would be like this..."
But in the end he didn't say anything else and walked home in silence.
Among the three, only Ye Changyuan was more excited.
When they got home, Ye Xiaoxiao figured it out and counted out fifty yuan from her bag and handed it to Ye Changsheng.
"Here is the money for buying food. You can buy it as you see fit."
Ye Changyuan and Ye Changsheng were both ten years old, and the money at home was managed by adults, so they had never received so much money.
"Xiaoxiao...you spent all your money! You went back to the capital."
Ye Changyuan stared, he had heard from his parents a long time ago that the new sister of his second aunt's family came from the capital very far away, and was about to leave at any time.
Ye Xiaoxiao shouted: "I already said I'm leaving!"
Ye Changyuan: "Uh... okay."
Ye Changsheng pursed his lips and said nothing.
He knew that his family was short of food and that he didn't have the confidence to refuse the money, nor did he have the capital to say anything else, but he swore that when he made money, he would return it to Ye Xiaoxiao.
The three of them brought back so many things that Miao Fengshan was shocked.
After hearing the explanation, she said, "Xiaoxiao's clothes are thin, so she really needs to make a new cotton-padded jacket. Grandma has money here, come and get it when you have enough."
"Grandma, I still have enough money." Ye Xiaoxiao is indeed short of money now, but making money is urgent.
Because she has enough money to do something for this family.
"Grandma, do you have a medicine pot at home? I boiled the medicine. This is the medicine for leg pain."
Miao Fengshan: "Don't waste money, grandma's legs hurt."
Ye Xiaoxiao didn't care what the old man said, she just coaxed him to take out the medicine jar, put it on the stove and start boiling the medicine.
When it got a little darker, Ye Changsheng and Ye Changyuan prepared to go out to buy food.
Ye Xiaoxiao was relieved and reminded: "Be careful when you go out. It's okay even if the price is high. Don't cause conflicts with others..."
After all, many of the gangsters in the black market are not good people. It is true that they form gangs to bully people from other villages. She wanted to create another situation for the two kilograms of food.
Ye Changsheng: "Why have you become such a mother-in-law? Something bad will happen. Let's go."
Ye Xiaoxiao: “…”
This damn kid... doesn't know what's right or wrong.
Ye Changsheng and Ye Changyuan went out and did not come back until Ye Xiaoxiao finished boiling the medicine.
"Grandma, take some medicine."
After handing the medicine to Miao Fengshan, Ye Xiaoxiao ran to the gate of the courtyard and looked outside.
There are mud houses all around here, forming an alley, and it is pitch black at night.
Ye Xiaoxiao walked a few steps toward the alley, but still didn't see anyone.
A gust of cold wind blew by, and even though I was wearing a cotton jacket, I was still chilled to the bone.
She turned around and tried to go back, but someone suddenly covered her mouth from behind.
Wuuwuwuwu…
