Zhang Sumei was furious, but she couldn't lash out, because she knew that if she did, the sense of shame that Liu Weisong had just felt would be extinguished.
She would never do something so foolish, so she continued to sob and wipe away her tears.
Liu Shile didn't care about any of that. Call it prejudice or selfishness, whatever it may be, she didn't approve of her adoptive mother's treatment of her and her siblings.
Actually, she felt she was quite busy and didn't have much time to get angry with her family.
She has a lot to learn now, and she thinks that since she's going to learn, she should learn it well and seriously, and understand and master everything that her teachers, mentors, and Grandma Wang have taught her.
Although she has a strong memory and knows the theoretical knowledge in the medical books in her mind very well, it is still quite difficult for her to find herbs in the mountains.
So she was thinking about whether she should stay at a clinic for a while. Although pharmacies are no longer privately owned but publicly owned, they still recruit apprentices.
That's right. She's in school, so even if they were to hire an apprentice, they generally wouldn't hire someone like her who's not around six days a week.
Her situation is different from that of the grain station. The grain station is short of people, and as long as you are good at your work, they may make an exception to hire you. But the pharmacy is different.
After all, these are medicinal herbs used to treat and save lives. When they recruit apprentices, they are expected to stay there all day to help. Even if you have nothing to do, it is only right that you organize the medicinal herbs.
So Liu Shile was really a little melancholy. Since she had decided to study medicine, she couldn't just rush into it. So every night, in addition to her cultivation, she also had to review her knowledge of medicinal herbs.
Taking advantage of the fact that it wasn't dark yet, Liu Shile started doing her homework. They had quite a lot of homework for the weekend, but Liu Shile finished it quite quickly and didn't spend much time on it.
Seeing that it was still early, she thought for a moment, told her adoptive parents that she was going to catch fish in the river, picked up a wooden bucket, and went out.
Just as she was about to head to the river, she saw her eldest sister, but her eldest sister seemed to be in a bad state.
Liu Shixi sat on the ground in a disheveled state, her hair, soaked with sweat, almost stuck to her cheeks, and her basket had rolled far away on the ground.
A man whose back looked somewhat familiar to Liu Shile was grabbing her foot. Liu Shile almost threw the wooden bucket in her hand at him in her haste.
But then she realized something was wrong, because she saw the man turn his head and spit out a mouthful of black blood. She immediately ran over in three steps.
Only then did they notice that her fair thighs and calves had tiny, sharp teeth marks, clearly indicating that she had been bitten by a snake!
She was extremely surprised and said urgently, "Big sister, how did you get bitten by a snake?!"
As she spoke, she pushed aside the man who was sucking the poison from her older sister's blood, pulled out a gleaming dagger, and began to bleed her older sister's calf.
Liu Shixi was initially both ashamed and frightened by being treated by a man, but when she saw her sister, her face turned even redder, and she frowned, indicating that it was in pain.
Liu Shile quickly drew a cross on her older sister's wound, and black blood flowed out again. She stared at the wound until the blood flowing out was red before she breathed a sigh of relief.
She then pulled out a ribbon from somewhere and tied it around her calf before turning to look at the person who had just saved her. Upon seeing this person, she couldn't help but exclaim in surprise.
"It's you?"
"It's you?"
Both of them looked at him with some surprise, but Liu Shile wanted to laugh after asking the question because this man, who was originally quite handsome, was really not good-looking at the moment.
His lips were almost like sausage lips, but when she thought about how his lips had become like that to save her older sister, she still managed to hold back her laughter.
Zhang Shoujun felt his mouth was going numb, unaware that it was about to turn into a sausage.
So he still smiled nonchalantly, "What a coincidence, running into you here again. Is this your sister?"
He looked really funny, but Liu Shile couldn't laugh. She could only force herself to nod and then sincerely thank him.
Then she found a few green plants nearby, squeezed them, applied some to her older sister's wound, and handed some to the kind-hearted man.
Zhang Shouwei politely declined, but just as he was about to refuse, Liu Shixi, who was out of danger and had regained some strength, felt a little embarrassed when she saw the man's mouth, because she knew that all of this was because of her.
So she said apologetically, "Comrade, I'm so sorry, it's all my fault that your mouth looks like this..."
Before she could finish speaking, Zhang Shoujun, realizing something was wrong, covered his mouth with his hand. His eyes widened instantly, and he almost blushed when he realized what was happening.
However, he was a man who could travel all over the country, so without thinking, he took the herbs from the stingy girl and applied them directly to his lips.
Then he waved his hand, turned around and left without stopping for a moment. He walked so fast that it was as if someone was chasing him.
"Oh dear, why did he just leave like that? I haven't even asked him who he is yet. Where am I going to find him now?" Liu Shixi was a little anxious when she saw him suddenly leave.
Liu Shile didn't know what her older sister was in such a hurry, so she asked curiously, "Big sister, what do you want to see him for?"
In Liu Shile's opinion, that person was a fool who didn't know how to save people but still insisted on doing so. If it weren't for her, the two of them might have died from poisoning.
Therefore, she didn't feel that her family should accept this favor and thank the person, but Liu Shixi didn't think so. She looked at her sister with a surprised expression and said matter-of-factly, "Of course we should thank him."
Uh, this?
Liu Shile blinked. Okay, although the man's treatment was unsuccessful, it's a fact that he helped save the person, so her family should indeed owe him for it.
However, he left on his own, which had nothing to do with her. It wasn't like she had driven him away, so she said without the slightest guilt, "Oh, is that all? Didn't I already thank you?"
Looking at her sister who seemed completely unconcerned, Liu Shixi was both amused and exasperated. "This isn't something that can be resolved with just a thank you."
"Never mind, if we're destined to meet again, we'll naturally run into each other. I'll thank him properly then."
At this point, she immediately thought of their reaction and asked, "Wait a minute, Lele, do you know him? Who is he?"
Liu Shixi had just thought she was going to die, and the fear in her heart was unimaginable. Then suddenly someone came to help her, so it would be strange if she wasn't deeply moved.
Liu Shile shook her head, "Big sister, how would I know him? Ying'er and I made a small exchange with him last time, and then we left."
We thought we'd never see him again, so we didn't ask his name. Who would have thought we'd run into him again?
The hope that had ignited in Liu Shixi's eyes dimmed again. "I see. Then I can only keep this in mind and thank him when I have the chance in the future."
After saying that, she glanced at her injured leg, a strange light flashing in her eyes. She had almost died just now!
The thought of this sent a chill down her spine.
