"The price of the new medicine has increased by fifty cents. Now it's two hundred cents per pill. Take it or not."
"Why did the price go up again? Wasn't it only 150 Wen two days ago?"
"Oh, you know how serious this blood disease is. If you don't take medicine, you will die within seven days! If you don't buy it, I'm leaving. It's really unlucky, ugh!"
"Don't...we want it, I'll buy one."
…
In a trance, Xia He saw a man and a woman talking at the door.
The man looked indifferent and impatient, while the woman looked mournful.
“It hurts…”
He just felt his throat was dry as if it had been burned by fire, and the scene that came into view was completely unfamiliar.
"Where is this... didn't I just win a million-dollar lottery ticket?"
"What?"
Suddenly, a memory that did not belong to him at all flooded into his mind and his head started to split.
After several minutes, Xia He finally reacted.
"Traveled through time!?"
The place where he is now is a small border town in Lingnan within the Qin Dynasty.
Most of the residents living in this small town are refugees who migrated here because of the war.
Living on the border, the people are suffering and it is difficult for them to even get food.
But a few months ago, a highly contagious blood disease began to spread in the county. The entire family was infected, and my parents died one after another.
Although the city's medical clinic has launched a pill that can alleviate the symptoms, it costs several hundred coins per pill and cannot cure the disease.
The remaining food in the house was consumed, but the illness became more and more serious.
Li Huilan used her dowry money to give him the opportunity to work as an apprentice in a clinic, but he was kicked out because he got into a fight with others.
Not only was he ungrateful for Li Huilan's care, he also believed that all the misfortunes in the family were caused by her.
So he stayed out of the house every day and hung out with a few ruffians in the east of the city. Eventually, his condition worsened and he fainted.
Xia He therefore traveled through time and space.
"Brother He, are you awake?"
The woman who was talking outside the door was bringing water over after buying medicine, and she looked happy when she saw him wake up.
She brought a bowl of water in a broken bowl and handed it to Xia He, wanting to feed him.
The woman was my uncle’s only daughter, eighteen years old, named Li Huilan.
On his extremely handsome face, there was a red birthmark the size of an egg on the right side of his cheek.
Otherwise, it wouldn't be my previous life's turn to find her to be my wife.
However, because of this birthmark, he was called an unlucky person in this feudal era.
Therefore, my predecessor was very disgusted with this daughter-in-law.
On weekdays, my predecessor not only beat and scolded Li Huilan, but also proposed to divorce her many times.
But Li Huilan only wanted to depend on Xia He for life and didn't have any complaints at all.
"Brother He, this is the new medicine I bought. Your condition has worsened again. Take it quickly."
As she spoke, she personally handed the black pill in her hand to Xia He's mouth.
Xia He just took a glance and shook his head, feeling waves of weakness throughout his body.
"Blood disease?"
This disease will make people extremely weak, afraid of cold, and eventually vomit blood and become covered in ulcers. They will die miserably.
One pill costs two hundred coins and can relieve the symptoms for about seven days. Once the time is up, the symptoms will relapse again. It can only be bought at the official clinic in the town.
Seeing Xia He's refusal, Li Huilan thought he was afraid of hardship, so she immediately persuaded him softly,
"Brother He, take the medicine first. I'll bring you a piece of brown sugar paste in the evening."
Seeing that Li Huilan was coaxing him like a child, Xia He didn't know whether to laugh or cry, but he had never seen such a gentle woman in his previous life.
"I ate it, what will you do?"
"I, I ate it two days ago."
As Li Huilan spoke, she hurried to stand up, but because she was too weak, her vision went dark, her body tilted, and she fell directly into Xia He's arms with a scream.
Soft in his arms, Xia He was shocked by the two dazzling papayas. It took him a while to accept the current situation.
"I didn't spend a penny of the one million dollars, but I'm here. It seems to be God's will."
After being distressed for a while, Xia He didn't worry too much.
After all, in the previous life, the bride price for marrying a wife started at hundreds of thousands. If you had no house or car, you could forget about finding a beautiful one. Five million would not even be enough.
But there is a ready-made daughter-in-law in front of me, who not only has a great figure, but is also so gentle and obedient.
The lovely girl in my arms climbed up with a blushing face, lowered her head and was completely speechless.
Xia He didn't care and picked up the water beside him and drank it all.
He stretched out two fingers, picked up the black pill the size of a fingernail, and held it in front of his eyes to look at it carefully.
It's very soft to the touch, and you can see some herbal residue on it. It's made very roughly.
Just one pill like this can cure a blood disease that will definitely kill you within seven days? You must be kidding!
"Is there any money left at home?"
Li Huilan raised her head after hearing this, looking a little nervous.
"Brother He, I'm out of money... I only have a few dozen coins left, and that's for buying rice."
"Please, Brother He, please don't go gambling, okay? I don't want anything to happen to you."
Li Huilan's voice was tearful, and Xia He finally realized that his predecessor was actually a gambler!
After the death of my predecessor's parents, the family lost its source of income. In addition, my predecessor gambled and completely squandered the family savings. I also suffered from a blood disease and the medicine was expensive, so I was left with no other options.
"Don't worry, I won't gamble again. I just want to ask if I still have enough money to buy a pill."
"not enough……"
"Well, take this medicine first, and I'll think of a way to take the rest."
Li Huilan was stunned.
Ever since she entered this door, Xia He has never shown any concern for her.
The original idea was that if you marry a chicken, you follow the chicken; if you marry a dog, you follow the dog, and Li Huilan accepted it for the rest of her life.
