Chapter 905: Concerns, equivalent exchange

This chapter is updated by NovelFree.ml

The man was very sick, at least a little worse than it looks. If the medical system can be used, she was somewhat confident, but now the medical system can’t be used, she dare not say anything.

Children don’t understand anything and think that it was enough to see a doctor when they were sick, but adults were not so simple. Seeing that Lin Chujiu didn’t answer right away, the man knew that his illness was incurable, and he might even die soon.

The man gave the little boy a longing look and said with a blank face: “Miss, you just said that although Rongrong is a child, I only have him as a child. No matter what happens, he can bear it.”

As if to verify the man’s words, the little boy nodded desperately: “Sister, Rongrong is a man, and Rongrong is not afraid.”

To make Lin Chujiu believe him, the little boy puffed out his small chest, looking like a grown-up. Lin Chujiu couldn’t help but pat the little boy’s head, and said: “Your illness wasn’t serious at first, it just dragged on for too long, and you’ve been running a low-grade fever for at least half a month. Your illness must be treated as soon as possible, but in this stone town, I can’t find the medicine I need.”

“If you find the medicine, can you be saved? Girl, what medicine do you want, just tell me, and I will try my best to find it.” The man’s dark and cloudy eyes burst into light in an instant, and hope was ignited in an instant.

“The medicine I made myself can’t be found outside. If you can, you go out of the city with me tonight. I am sure that I can cure your illness.” Lin Chujiu couldn’t ignore the father and son’s professional ethics.

She was a doctor, and she cannot forget her duty as a doctor just because the medical system doesn’t force her to save lives. Although she has forgotten it for a long time, it was not too late to remember it now.

“Leave? We…” There was hesitation in the man’s eyes, and the little boy hurriedly said before he finished speaking: “Father, didn’t you keep saying that we are going to leave the town? Let’s go with my sister, okay?” He didn’t want anything to happen to his father.

“Rongrong, don’t talk nonsense.” The man glanced at the little boy, and then said apologetically to Lin Chujiu, “Miss, we father and son can’t leave the town right now.” It was not that he didn’t want to leave, but because of his illness, how he will make a living out of town?

He believed that this girl will try her best to help them and take care of their father and son because Rongrong helped her once, but… …

He didn’t want to take advantage of the party because of this matter. He doesn’t want to be mean.

“I know what you mean. If you think it’s causing me trouble, can you please do me a favor?” The child was straightforward, but the adult always likes to calculate the gains and losses. Now that the other party mentions it, she will act in an adult’s way to manage.

“Do you have a companion?”

Undoubtedly, the man was extremely smart, Lin Chujiu didn’t say anything, but he guessed it.

Talking to smart people, naturally, there was no need to hide it. Lin Chujiu said bluntly: “The man who came with me is at the Stone Temple at the moment. I want to ask you to help me to send a letter to the Stone Temple for me. Let him come here, and we will go altogether.”

She was worried about how to ask a man for help, and the opportunity came to her door.

The man didn’t respond immediately, but asked, “What if he gets caught?”

“He won’t be caught.” Lin Chujiu said firmly.

The man stared at her for a moment, then nodded lightly, and said weakly: “You let Rongrong deliver the letter for you, no one will pay attention to him when he goes out.”

“Thank you.” Lin Chujiu bowed solemnly, implying guilt.

She knew very well how dangerous it would be for a child to deliver a letter, but there was no suitable person in this family other than that child.

To reassure the man, Lin Chujiu squatted in front of the little boy and said: “Rongrong, don’t worry, my sister will protect you and your father.”

This was her promise to the father and son. In Stone Town, even if she sacrifices herself, she will not let anything happen to Rongrong.

“Sister, don’t worry, Rongrong will be fine. Rongrong always goes to the Stone Temple every day.” The child was young and didn’t know the danger. He simply patted his small chest and assured him.

Lin Chujiu smiled, feeling much relieved after all.

The little boy went to help Lin Chujiu deliver the letter, and the heavy responsibility of making medicine for the man naturally fell on Lin Chujiu. Lin Chujiu has learned a lot of pharmacology knowledge during this time, and she still knows the basic medicines.

Looking at the herbs the man drank, Lin Chujiu picked out the ones she knew were useful, and handed them to the man: “You can use these herbs, but it’s best not to use other medicines first.”

There were several kinds of medicine that she doesn’t know, and some of them were not suitable medicines at all. The mayor gave them blindly.

“I trouble you.” The man didn’t understand medical principles, but he chose to believe in Lin Chujiu. Because apart from this, he had no other choice but to wait for death.

He was not afraid of death, but he was afraid that after he died, no one will take care of his son.

“We are just helping each other, you don’t have to be polite.” Lin Chujiu nodded lightly, completely no longer being kind and friendly to the little boy.

However, the man was not surprised.

Children were always easy to win the favor of others, especially for women.

Lin Chujiu was not a person who didn’t touch the spring water with her fingers. Although she was not used to using an earthen stove, after two failed attempts, she successfully lit the fire and finished the small stove for boiling medicine.

With the fire, it was natural to prepare food. Lin Chujiu searched around the kitchen and found that the man’s family was really poor. There were only thick noodles and millet in the rice jar, and it was about to bottom out. If she used them all, it was probably enough for them to eat a meal.

Considering that they were weak and needed to replenish their strength and that they were leaving at night, Lin Chujiu emptied the rice tank, picked a handful of vegetables from the vegetable garden, washed them, chopped them, and prepared to add them later to make a pot of vegetable lump soup.

Lin Chujiu’s movements were not fast, but every step is done very carefully, and soon all the ingredients were put into the pot, and they can be eaten when they were cooked.

After finishing the work in hand, Lin Chujiu inevitably worried about Xiao Tianyao. She said it confidently in front of the man, but she was more worried than anyone else.

She knew that Xiao Tianyao’s abilities were extraordinary, but this Stone Town was too mysterious. Xiao Tianyao, who had lost his power, was worse than ordinary people. If he was discovered by the people of Stone Town, he could only die.

“It’s annoying.” Lin Chujiu sighed worriedly, sitting by the stove, fiddled with the fire in the stove, and looked out the door with blank eyes.

After adding a few more dry woods, the porridge was almost cooked. Lin Chujiu sighed lightly, stood up vigorously, and put the chopped vegetables into the pot.

At this moment, the door suddenly rang.

Lin Chujiu was stunned, turned her head to look outside the door, and completely forgot what she was doing, and the heat surged up, instantly turning her hands red.

“Ah…” Lin Chujiu cried out in pain, and the lid of the pot in her hand fell to the ground.

Lin Chujiu was startled and was about to bend down to pick it up, but she didn’t expect her hand to be held… …
