"Sheng Qian, you're shameless."
Shui Ling was so angry that she started cursing again.
Sheng Qian pursed her lips and ignored her.
The other person, however, was relentless and lunged at her, grabbing the back seat of her bicycle, which had a large wooden box tied to it.
"You must promise me you'll stay far away from Qiu Shen. I'm telling you, you fickle woman, Qiu Shen and I are definitely going to get married, so forget about it."
Sheng Qian raised her foot and kicked.
The kick sent the person sprawling backward.
Gao Xiufang gasped in pain, but the thought that Liang Qiushen still cared about Sheng Qian made her feel very resentful.
Little did she know that Liang Qiushen was remembering Sheng Qian's promise to give him a house.
Liang Qiushen was afraid that Sheng Qian would pester him, but in the middle of the night, he suddenly remembered Sheng Qian's promise to give him a house.
"Sheng Qian, you stop right there!" Gao Xiufang chased after her fiercely.
"Bang!"
Ouch!
While running, Gao Xiufang bumped into an elderly person.
The old man was slowly walking out of the alleyway on the side when Gao Xiufang rushed over and knocked him to the ground. The old man was injured and lay there motionless.
Terrified, Gao Xiufang turned pale and ran away.
Sheng Qian turned around and saw Gao Xiufang had knocked down an old man and run away. The old man couldn't get up for a long time, probably because he had bumped into something.
No one was passing by.
Sheng Qian put on the pedals and rode off for a while.
He cursed under his breath and rode back, saying, "Old man, how are you? Are you still awake? Did you faint? You're such a nuisance."
Sheng Qian turned the old man over. He looked to be around sixty years old. He had taken a solid fall and was lucky not to die on the spot.
Sheng Qian quickly performed first aid on him.
The movements were swift and decisive.
Before long, the old man woke up.
"Grandpa, how are you feeling?"
The old man looked at Sheng Qian with a somewhat dazed expression, and only after a while did he come to his senses, asking, "Where is Gao Xiufang?"
"You mean the girl who hit you?"
"It's her..."
Seeing that the old man recognized the pretty girl, Sheng Qian felt relieved, but she was afraid that the old man would try to extort money from her.
"It's good that you recognize the person who knocked you down. You're lucky this time that you ran into me," Sheng Qian helped the old man up. "How are you? Can you still stand up? You fell pretty hard."
"My lower back hurts a bit, girl, do you know medicine?" The old woman was leaning against the wall, her lips turning blue, probably from the pain.
Seeing that the old man looked pitiful, Sheng Qian comforted him, "Please sit down for a while, I'll be right back, don't move around."
Sheng Qian unloaded the large box and rode away on her bicycle.
He kept cursing himself for meddling while riding.
But since I've already meddled in this, I might as well do it thoroughly.
Just consider it a moment of sudden goodwill on my part.
Sheng Qian went home and found the Chinese herbal ointment she had made. Hou Guifang saw her come and go in a hurry and couldn't even ask her a question. She watched helplessly as Sheng Qian rode away on her bicycle like the wind.
The old man sat there for half an hour and didn't see anyone. He thought Sheng Qian had abandoned him and left. Just as he was about to force himself to get up and leave, he saw Sheng Qian riding her bicycle back.
"Didn't I tell you not to move? Sit down quickly."
The old man glanced at Sheng Qian and said, "I thought you weren't coming back."
"I didn't leave it unattended while I was waiting. Here, this is a poultice. Apply it wherever it hurts. Can you apply it yourself?"
"Behind the waist," the old man said, sounding rather troubled.
In those days, Sheng Qian was a girl, so it wasn't appropriate for the elderly to lift up her clothes at the back for her help.
Sheng Qian thought for a moment and then said, "I'm a doctor, there's no need for such formalities. Besides, you're about my grandfather's age, it's only right for a granddaughter to take care of her grandfather."
Where in later generations has this concept of vigilance been found?
Seeing that no one was around, the old man asked Sheng Qian to apply medicine to his lower back.
As soon as the medicine was applied, I felt a cool sensation, which gradually turned into a warm sensation.
My back, which had been sore from the fall, didn't hurt as much anymore.
"Little girl, this medicine is really good. Which family do you work for?"
Sheng Qian plopped down on one side and pointed in the direction they came from: "The Long family just moved here, you know? They bought their daughter-in-law in Wutong Village."
"It's you, girl," the old man couldn't help but look Sheng Qian up and down.
The little girl's eyes shone like stars, sparkling with intelligence; she was a clever and capable girl.
The technique just now, and the medicine, are enough to prove that this girl is not the brainless girl everyone says she is.
The old man was a little curious. "You're such a capable girl, how did your family manage to sell you? Or did the Long family know you were skilled in medicine and use their power to buy you?"
Sheng Qian shook her head. "There's a bit of a twist here, sir. Can you stand up now?"
"I'll give it a try," the old man immediately said, leaning against the wall and slowly standing up on his own.
"Alright, walk back slowly. Change your dressing every three hours when you get back. Are there people at home?"
"My son has someone looking after you. Little girl, now that you've finished applying this medicine, do you need to apply it again?"
"If you feel pain, go to the Long family and ask me for some medicine patches," since he already knew her background.
If the old man knows Gao Xiufang, then he must know the Long family.
Because the Long family came from the capital, everyone around them was eager to curry favor with them.
Unfortunately, they couldn't persuade Hou Guifang, so they had previously thought of starting with Sheng Qian, but Hou Guifang refused to make the clothes. For a while, they couldn't find a way out and could only helplessly avoid it.
Although everyone secretly talked about Long Yunting's half-dead state, they wished they had someone like Sheng Qian to match with the Long family's daughter, so that their daughter could marry into the family. Even if he was a living dead man, they could still exchange their daughter for some benefits, which was much better than marrying someone else.
