"Thank you so much for saving my life, sister-in-law!" he said, bowing slightly to the fish in the pond.
Chi Yu didn't have the energy to pay attention to him, and simply replied:
"You're too kind, sir. You know Amu well, so it's only natural that I would help you in this situation."
As soon as she finished speaking, Chi Qiao said, "Amu, carry him up here, let's go to the clinic!"
Qin Mu was administering medicine to the scholar surnamed Liu. Once he was sure the medicine had gone down his throat but the man was still unconscious, he carried him onto the carriage shaft.
Chi Qiao was still driving the carriage. Since the sun had already set, Chi Yu did not enter the carriage but sat on the outside of the carriage shaft.
“Amu, I remember there were four people who sponsored you.”
"Now there are two, where are the other two?"
There was a moment of silence in the carriage after she finished speaking.
However, Qin Mu didn't hide anything from her. After taking a deep breath, he replied:
"On the first day of the exam, one student was unwell and failed the exam."
The other one was carried out covered with a white sheet.
However, since he was from the county school, the instructors and teachers would handle the funeral arrangements.
Chi Yu remained silent, thinking of the person who had just been carried out, and felt somewhat relieved that she had prepared enough things for Qin Mu.
Those scholars were generally physically weaker.
Staying in the examination hall for nine days was already unbearable, let alone in such heat.
Now that things are like this, she finds it hard to imagine what it will be like in August.
That Shen Zhaochen doesn't look well.
Will we be able to weather the storm?
As she thought this, her thoughts drifted away.
"Little Fish, we're here!"
Before long, the carriage stopped, and Chi Qiao got out and called out to her younger sister.
Chi Yu snapped out of her daze and subconsciously got out of the car to look around.
The carriage stopped in front of the pharmacy where she had been buying medicine to relieve the heat these past few days.
This pharmacy not only dispenses medicine, but also has doctors on duty.
Qin Mu carried Liu Shusheng inside, and he woke up as soon as they reached the doctor.
He looked around and, seeing that it was a clinic, sat down.
The doctor could tell from their attire that they were candidates for the upcoming prefectural examination.
No need to ask, everyone knows what happened.
While he was taking the pulse of the person, Chi Yu took advantage of the gap when he went to the carriage to take out a few rice balls from his storage space.
"Amu, are you hungry? Come on, eat!"
As she spoke, she handed over a small cloth bag.
There were three rice balls in the small cloth bag, one for each of the three of them.
Qin Mu reached out and took it, opening the cloth bag to see a ball of rice wrapped in oil paper.
He picked up a piece and handed it to the scholar surnamed Li: "Brother Li, have some!"
Perhaps because of the life-saving grace he had received earlier, or perhaps because he was hungry, Li Shusheng did not stand on ceremony this time.
As he reached out to take it, Qin Mu took out another one, opened it, and took a big bite, eating a fifth of the rice ball.
Because each rice ball was bigger than an adult's fist, Chiyu couldn't finish them all.
Seeing that they were all eating, he quickly gave half of his own to his sister.
These rice balls were made by Chi Qiao.
It uses glutinous rice, stir-fried bok choy and edamame, then shaped into balls.
Plus, glutinous rice is a good thing, and it's filling.
Chi Qiao was usually used as a supplementary meal for Chi Erxiong and Chi Sanbao during busy farming seasons.
Even Qin Mu could only eat six or seven tenths of a full meal from such a large food.
