"This is a quick-acting heart medicine. If you suddenly experience angina, put this medicine under your tongue."
Yun Duoduo held up a small green bottle in front of Grandma Xue.
[Quick-acting heart medicine?]
Granny Xue had been in the martial arts world for so many years, and this was the first time she had ever heard of such a thing.
"oh?"
The bottle for the quick-acting heart medicine was small, only about half a finger long, green in color, and shaped like a gourd.
She opened the bottle cap, and the stopper was one she had never seen before; it was soft, brownish-yellow, and seemed to be made of a very special material.
"Thank you very much." Granny Xue put the stopper back on the medicine bottle and tucked it into her bosom.
According to this little girl, this is a life-saving medicine for critical moments.
“Mother-in-law, I’ll be returning to the capital in a few days. If you’re also going to the capital, you can come find me. My clinic in the capital is also called Huichuntang!”
Yun Duoduo thought that when she saw the old woman again, her medicine box might have been upgraded to a medical system, and then she would definitely be able to cure the old woman's illness.
"Oh, by the way, Grandma, when you're almost out of this medicine, you can also come to Huichuntang to find me."
Yun Duoduo plans to open more pharmacies, and each pharmacy should be stocked with some life-saving medicines for emergencies.
Grandma Xue nodded, looking at Yun Duoduo with loving eyes, the wrinkles around her eyes and between her brows gradually smoothing out.
"Young physician, you saved my life. This old woman has no way to repay you. If you don't mind, I'll give you this hairpin."
Grandma Xue took the hairpin off her gray hair and handed it to Yun Duoduo.
Yun Duoduo looked at the hairpin. It was a silver hairpin with a very simple design. The top of the hairpin was a neat rectangle with a line in the middle dividing it into two sections. There were already some wear and tear on it.
"Hairpin?"
Yun Duoduo has received many gifts from people in northern Xinjiang these days, such as camellia pollen, potted roses, cornbread with cabbage filling, bamboo baskets, winnowing baskets, straw baskets, and straw hats...
The clinic was filled with many items.
This hairpin is truly unique.
"Come, let me put it on you." Granny Xue approached Yun Duoduo, wanting to insert the hairpin into her hair bun.
Although this hairpin isn't particularly valuable, it looks like the old woman has worn it for a long time; it must be something she cherishes.
"Grandma, this hairpin must be very important to you. Duoduo can't accept it."
Yun Duoduo took a step back and waved her hands repeatedly.
This hairpin seems to be very important to this old woman.
"This hairpin is indeed very important to me, but now it's yours."
"Here, let me put it on you."
Grandma Xue looked at her with a smile, seemingly possessing an irresistible power.
Yun Duoduo neither refused nor resisted, and Granny Xue put the hairpin on her head.
For a fleeting moment, Yun Duoduo wondered if it was just her imagination, but she felt as if a force was flowing from the top of her head into her body as the hairpin was placed on her head.
Yun Duoduo suddenly became very curious about the old woman in front of her.
"Grandma, what's your last name?"
"My surname is Xue, and they all call me Granny Xue."
Yun Duoduo nodded, muttering to herself, "Grandma Xue."
“Grandma Xue, if your home is far away, or you have nowhere to stay, you can stay at the clinic. There is a bed in the inner room.”
It's been raining a lot in northern Xinjiang these days, and Yun Duoduo is worried that after Granny Xue leaves the clinic, there will be no one to take care of her health, and it will be very inconvenient for her to travel back and forth between home and the clinic.
Grandma Xue was somewhat stunned. Her thoughts seemed to return to that rainy night many years ago when she took in her first homeless girl.
Now, it is such a young girl who has reached out a helping hand to her.
"Grandma Xue?" Yun Duoduo asked softly when she saw that Grandma Xue did not respond.
"Um?"
"Oh, and this perilla sachet, you can wear it."
Grandma Xue did not answer Yun Duoduo's question, but instead took a purple sachet from her waist and handed it to Yun Duoduo.
"Mmm, what a refreshing scent!" Yun Duoduo smelled the fragrance from the sachet.
"I'm glad you like it."
"Thank you, Grandma."
Yun Duoduo didn't think much of it. During the recent free clinic, people who came to see her would bring some interesting little gadgets or homemade food as gifts for Yun Duoduo.
She stopped refusing, accepted the gifts, and saw Granny Xue off.
After leaving the clinic, Granny Xue took a few steps and then looked back at the three characters "Huichuntang" above the clinic, and then at the little girl who was busy tidying up the clinic.
[She's truly an extraordinary girl.]
She remembered what happened yesterday.
In order to find Liu Mingyue's whereabouts, Granny Xue used the Plum Blossom Pavilion's resources in the Northern Frontier and finally found the escaped Liu Mingyue in a temple along the way in the Northern Frontier.
Looking at that familiar figure, Granny Xue said coldly, "You knew I was looking for you, didn't you?"
"You should know what happens to those who violate the cabinet rules."
Liu Mingyue, who was holding a steamed bun and eating the offerings on the table, suddenly stiffened upon hearing this sound.
She turned around with difficulty and surprise, staring incredulously at the frail figure before her, "Sect Master..."
"Sect Master, why have you come in person?" The steamed bun in Liu Mingyue's hand fell to the ground. She slumped to the ground, her eyes filled with fear.
Liu Mingyue's hair was disheveled, her face was covered in soot, her clothes were badly torn with withered leaves and broken branches, and her shoes were covered in mud.
They looked like they were living a life of hardship and sleeping outdoors.
"Hmph, you have so many lives on your hands. If I hadn't come, you would probably have harmed even more people."
"And the princess of Nanyang, she's just a child, why do you have to kill her?"
"Master, I was just doing this for money..."
"Everything I've done is for the sake of the Pavilion." Liu Mingyue's shoulders trembled slightly.
“You know perfectly well what it’s all for,” Granny Xue said sharply.
"Out of consideration for our long-standing teacher-student relationship, I was going to spare your life."
"Now it seems that it's no longer possible!"
After Grandma Xue finished speaking, she stretched out her palm and struck Liu Mingyue on the forehead.
"Sect Master!"
"Sect Master, how can you be so heartless? Mingyue, Mingyue was nurtured by you!"
Liu Mingyue suddenly turned to the side, dodging Granny Xue's fatal blow.
"Sect Master, as long as one person dies, as long as one person dies, our Plum Blossom Dark Pavilion will have more money and be able to help more people!"
"The Prince of Jin said that if anything happens to the princess, the emperor of Nanyang will be replaced!"
"By climbing the social ladder to the royal family and getting on the good side of Prince Jin, our Plum Blossom Pavilion will be second only to the emperor in this martial world!"
