Chapter 19: Quietly Follow

Yao Lan sat up slowly, looked at Xia Wanqing with distressed eyes and shook her head and said, "I'm fine, your father ...... him"

Xia Wanqing saw that Yao Lan was slowly moving freely, so she calmly spoke, "Mother, you follow Uncle Wang to rent a donkey cart first, the sooner the better, I'll take care of Daddy." ”

Yao Lan's eyes were red, and her hands trembled slightly. She looked at Xia Wanqing in front of her and suddenly felt sad.

When encountering this kind of thing, parents should have been at the forefront, but in the end, she and her husband still have to rely on their daughter.

However, the daughter has grown up.

It's the backbone that you can rely on.

"Okay." She nodded and agreed, said goodbye to Xia Wanqing, walked out of the yard as quickly as possible and went to rent a donkey cart with Uncle Wang.

Watching the two walk away, Xia Wanqing rolled up her cuffs.

Although she is not a medical student, she does not have excellent medical skills.

But in the army, she often struggled, and she still knew the most basic skills of saving people, so she squatted down and began to press Xia Mingzhong's heart, and after a long time, there was almost a layer of fine beads of sweat on her forehead, and Xia Mingzhong coughed violently and began to gasp.

"Dad, you hold on for a while."

Xia Wanqing wiped the beads of sweat on her forehead: "I'll send you to the hospital in a while!" ”

"I ......" Xia Mingzhong wanted to say something, but in the end he didn't say a word.

He felt guilty and said nothing to his daughter.

About a quarter of an hour later, my mother and Uncle Liu drove the donkey cart to the door of the house, and with the help of Uncle Wang and Uncle Liu, Xia Mingzhong was quickly lifted to the donkey cart.

Bumpy all the way, Xia Mingzhong coughed from time to time, his whole face was flushed, Xia Wanqing took out the prepared water hyacinth and fed Xia Mingzhong two sips of water, and the situation eased a little.

Her heart hung in the air, and Yao Lan was even more anxious to cry.

"She, Uncle Liu, can you hurry up? I'm afraid that time will delay my illness. ”

"I know you're worried about Mingzhong's body, but right now, the speed of our donkey cart is already very fast, and if you speed it up, it will overturn, and then Mingzhong will only aggravate his condition when he falls to the ground, and the gains outweigh the losses."

When Yao Lan heard this, she was anxious, but she didn't speak anymore, but she just prayed silently to God in her heart.

Xia Wanqing stretched out her hand to stop Yao Lan in her arms and silently comforted her.

Seeing that their family of three was like this, Uncle Liu sighed lightly, and silently sped up a little after speaking.

It had been half an hour since I arrived in the town, and the donkey cart had stopped in front of the Wu Family Medical Center last time.

"Miss Xia?" The junior apprentice came out and saw that it was Xia Wanqing, and greeted her happily.

"Please help my dad carry it in together."

Xia Wanqing smiled tiredly, and then pointed behind her. When the junior apprentice saw that the person on the donkey cart was in serious condition, he also became serious, and helped Xia Wanqing carry Xia Mingzhong to the bed in the medical hall.

"Miss Xia?"

As soon as Wu Jinyu finished grabbing medicine for a patient, she caught a glimpse of a familiar figure, and when she came over, she confirmed that it was Xia Wanqing.

"Is Miss Xia here to sell Cordyceps again?"

Xia Wanqing was stunned for a moment, quickly turned around, looked at Wu Jinyu vigilantly, and made a gesture of "shh", Wu Jinyu looked at Xia Wanqing's appearance, and only felt cute.

He lowered his head slightly and approached Xia Wanqing and asked, "It's not selling herbs, that's it?" ”

"My dad was injured, he was just bitten by a wild boar some time ago, and he was accidentally pushed down today, so I came, since you are here, help my dad diagnose and treat."

Wu Jinyu followed her gaze and felt clear. Nodding, without any delay, he went to the bed to check Xia Mingzhong's injuries.

After checking the pulse, Wu Jinyu's expression was solemn, he walked out and walked to the side with Xia Wanqing, and his voice was a little heavier.

"Miss Xia, your father's old injuries have not healed, his qi and blood are insufficient, and he has been stimulated recently, if he wants to recover, he may spend a lot of precious medicinal materials to nourish his body, and he will spend a lot of silver."

That's not something that can be solved with one or two hundred pieces of cordyceps.

Xia Wanqing cleared her throat and asked without thinking, "How much silver do you need?" ”

"One hundred taels."

One hundred taels ......

She had just received a hundred taels of silver from Wu Jinyu before, but she bought a lot of things and gave Yao Lan some silver, which is currently about fifty taels of silver.

If the money is gone, you can earn it again, but if your life is gone, it is really gone.

"Okay."

Xia Wanqing didn't hesitate, pulled Wu Jinyu aside, and said in a low voice: "I'll give you fifty taels first, you help my father heal, and the rest will be given to you in a few days." ”

Yao Lan didn't know when she walked to Wu Jinyu and Xia Wanqing's side, listened to Wu Jinyu's words that she needed a hundred taels of silver for healing, and immediately covered her mouth and cried in a low voice.

It's her and her husband who are useless!

Let the girl worry about making money at a young age.

Wu Jinyu's mouth opened slightly, wanting to say that he could help her for free. But Xia Wanqing had already turned around and pulled Yao Lan to say with relief.

"Mother, don't cry. You and the young owner take care of your father here, and I will go home and go up the mountain to pick some herbs, and then exchange them for silver to heal my father." ”

She glanced at Wu Jinyu, and there was a hint of supplication in her clear eyes.

"yes. Mrs. Xia doesn't have to worry too much about the consultation fee, with Miss Xia here, everything is easy to say. Wu Jinyu was not stupid, she got Xia Wanqing's hint, and hurriedly followed the conversation.

"Thank you, doctor." Yao Lan was grateful to kneel on the ground to thank her, but she was stopped by Xia Wanqing and Wu Jinyu.

Leaving from the medical hall, Xia Wanqing followed Uncle Liu's donkey cart back to the village with her steps, keeping her head down and thinking about things, but she didn't notice that the place around the corner passed by Ji Baishan.

When Ji Baishan heard the news of Xia Mingzhong's injury, he also hurriedly went from house to house to find the medical hall where Xia Mingzhong was, and only after asking a few did he go to the Wu family medical hall.

When he entered the door, he saw Yao Lan, he hesitated for a moment and walked to the bed where Xia Mingzhong was, and asked in a low voice, "Auntie, is there still some money for Uncle Xia's healing?" ”

Yao Lan looked at the man in front of her against the light, her skin was darker, but her eyes were full of sincerity, she nodded movingly, "There are still dozens of taels left." ”

"Don't worry, I still have some broken silver here, you need to hurry first. The rest, I will go back to the village to hunt now, and I will be able to raise it soon, so you can take care of your uncle here with peace of mind. ”

"White Mountain...... You're such a good boy. Yao Lan looked at her husband who was already unconscious, and then looked at the worry on Ji Baishan's face and the broken silver he sent, and felt that her husband really didn't look at the wrong person.

It's a pity that Wanqing's child doesn't seem to have feelings for Baishan......

"What about Wanqing?"

Ji Baishan looked around, and when he didn't see Xia Wanqing, he couldn't help but wonder.

"She, she went back to the village, saying that she was going to pick herbs and sell them for money."

Vegetables and herbs sell for money?

Ji Baishan's mind instantly appeared with the piece of cordyceps on the side of the cliff arm, and his heart instantly lifted.

"That aunt, I'll go back to the village to hunt first, and I'll come back after changing the silver!" As the words fell, he glanced at Xia Mingzhong guiltily.

*

It had been half an hour since Xia Wanqing returned to Sanxi Village, and the mess she had seen before leaving had improved, and as soon as she entered the house, she saw some fresh game on the dilapidated wooden table.

A trace of warmth flashed in her eyebrows, and she knew in her heart that Ji Baishan had already come.

This man is careful.

Thinking about her father's condition, she neatly turned around and went to find a basket to go up the mountain to pick some cordyceps.

After walking the way up the mountain once or twice, she became familiar with it, and her steps were a little faster.

When passing a road in the backyard of the eldest uncle's house, a family eating in the yard, Wang Guihua watched Xia Wanqing go up the mountain with a basket on her back.

put down the chopsticks and said to Xia Mingqing: "The young girl of the second family's family has gone up the mountain again." ”
