The wind and snow were blowing all over the sky, and the whole market was silent, except for the faint light of the pharmacy.
The shopkeeper's face was solemn, with a hint of panic in his eyes. Although the swelling on his right face had dissipated a lot and his eyes could be opened, they were still higher than the left face, as if he had something in his cheek.
His expression looked a little ferocious.
In front of him, two tables were put together, with Meier curled up on them, holding one hand tightly to her chest, while the other hand was held by the shopkeeper, pressing her pulse.
On the left side of the table, Jiang Xingchen's anxious mood was palpable. While stroking Mei'er's head and whispering comfort, he looked at the shopkeeper expectantly, waiting for his results.
On the other side, there were two aggressive gangsters, staring at the shopkeeper.
After a long time, the shopkeeper took a deep breath, raised his head, and stammered: "Jiang...Master Jiang, my lady's illness...I'm sorry...there's nothing you can do about it!"
"What!" Jiang Xingchen's eyes widened in an instant, and he stretched out his hand to grab the shopkeeper's collar.
"There are too many hidden diseases in the young lady's body, especially the severe wind-cold disease. She is obviously terminally ill..." With these words, the shopkeeper seemed to have made a bold move, and his tone was a little higher, with the idea of stretching out his head and retracting his head would also be the same.
, continued: "If the disease had broken out a few days earlier, I could still have treated it and then slowly adjusted it... But now, Miss's disease has brought out all the hidden diseases. With my medical skills... Master Jiang, I'm sorry!"
"
"What about the symptoms of wind and cold? You can just use hot medicine. How can you become terminally ill?" The gangster on the side yelled loudly.
The shopkeeper paused for a moment and said in a deep voice: "Wind-cold is not difficult to treat in the first place. Generally, it is not squeezed in the body for so long. Symptoms should have already appeared..."
The shopkeeper's words were like a knife piercing Jiang Xingchen's heart. He instantly recalled the night he had just traveled through time, the scene of Meier huddled in the corner, thought of those open-toed shoes, and thought of her.
Regardless of the low temperature, I went out to fetch water in the early morning. I thought of those little hands covered with bloodstains and Meier's rusty eyes this morning...
"She had symptoms for a long time, but she never said anything. At that time, Meier only wanted to make money to take care of me, and suppressed all the illnesses with her strength... She didn't let go until I earned money and activated the Yuanquan.
The burden caused the hidden illness and typhoid to break out together without the pressure..." After thinking about it, Jiang Xingchen's love for Mei'er was simply indescribable.
"Brother! Mei'er has earned money and bought a black flour pancake. I can support you in the future!" This sentence came out involuntarily, and Jiang Xingchen's nose felt sore.
"No! The little girl is my only relative in this world, and I will never let her leave me!" Jiang Xingchen suddenly raised his head, his eyes were red and bloodshot, and he stared at the shopkeeper and said:
"If you can't save it, then others can't save it either!"
As soon as he finished speaking, Jiang Xingchen turned to the two gangsters and said, "Bring me all the doctors from the pharmacy in the market!"
The two gangsters were shocked. This was the first time they heard Jiang Xingchen speak to them in a commanding tone. They felt that he was even scarier than Sun Sanqiang.
"Yes!" the two gangsters responded, turned around and ran out the door.
Although the shopkeeper was frightened by Jiang Xingchen's eyes, he gritted his teeth and bravely said: "Master Jiang, it's useless. All the doctors in this market are tied together and they are also helpless. You just called them here.
It's just a waste of time... For this disease, you should go to the doctors at the big pharmacies in the aristocratic area!"
"Oh!" Jiang Xingchen's eyes lit up and he quickly asked: "Can they do anything?"
When the two gangsters heard this, they also stopped at the same time.
"I dare not say whether there is a way, but the doctors at Lingcao Hall, Huanghe Hall, Yaoxianju...these big pharmacies are much better than me...and they also have a lot of precious medicinal materials there!"
"Thank you! Let's go! Go to Lingcao Hall!" As soon as the shopkeeper finished speaking, Jiang Xingchen wrapped Meier in a quilt and picked her up, calling the two gangsters to leave quickly.
"Huh~" The shopkeeper let out a breath that he had been holding in his heart, and his body suddenly collapsed on the chair. When Jiang Xingchen thanked him, he knew that he had made the right bet...
A month later, the carriage stopped at the door of Lingcao Hall in the Noble District. Jiang Xingchen handed his new identity card to a gangster and asked him to call the door first. After wrapping Meier in a quilt, he got off the car.
Follow behind.
"Bang bang bang..." The gangster slammed the door hard, and an impatient voice came from inside: "Why are you urging me? Didn't you see it's closed?"
"We are here to see a doctor!" the gangster shouted outside.
"Squeak!" The door opened a crack, and a head poked out. He looked like a boy in his late teens.
"Please call the doctor out quickly, our lady is very ill!" the gangster said and handed over Jiang Xingchen's identity card.
The boy took the iron plate and glanced at the word "Shi" on it, with a look of disdain in his eyes.
"Dr. Cui is very busy and doesn't have time to treat you. You should go elsewhere!" The boy waved his hand like he was shooing away flies and returned the ID badge to the gangster.
At this time, Jiang Xingchen had already walked up with Mei'er in his arms, and heard the other person's words softly and tenderly.
Taking a deep breath, he suppressed the anxiety in his heart, asked the gangster to take out ten topaz coins from his bag and handed them to the other party, saying: "Please make it easier, my sister's illness can't be delayed any longer!"
"Ten yellow crystal coins!" The young man glanced at it, hesitated, and then said decisively: "I told you, Dr. Cui is very busy!"
Seeing this, Jiang Xingchen gritted his teeth and took out ten more topaz coins. It wasn't that he couldn't bear to part with it, he didn't care how much he spent on the little girl. But he had spent two hundred topaz coins before booking a house for appraisal by a noble.
I spent another fifty yellow crystal coins on clothes, groceries, rice, noodles and other things, and now I only have fifty gold coins left in my hand. I gave too much and can't even pay the medical fees.
However, what disappointed him was that although the little boy had greed in his eyes, he was extremely determined: "Let me tell you, Dr. Cui is helping Hengtong Trading Company to research new drugs. Not to mention you, the lowest noble, even if the baron comes
use!"
After saying this, the boy had already retreated and slammed the door.
"Master Jiang, what should I do?" The two gangsters glanced at the door, which looked increasingly cold in the wind and snow, and asked in a low voice.
"Go to Huanghetang!" Jiang Xingchen hugged Meier tightly, said coldly, turned around and left...
The night is getting darker, but the wind and snow have not decreased at all, and the temperature is also dropping rapidly.
In the carriage, Jiang Xingchen hugged Mei'er tightly, his red eyes filled with grief and anger, and his arms were so numb from the cold that he didn't react.
He ran down to three big pharmacies in succession, but none of them admitted him. No matter what he said, it was useless. Every one of them looked disapproving when they saw his ID badge. If you have a good temper, tell him the reason. If you have a bad temper,
Just drive them away!
Seeing Mei'er's breathing getting faster and faster, her body shaking like chaff, Jiang Xingchen's heart was as sharp as a knife.
After activating Yuanquan and becoming friends with Mo Hongxian, he was a little proud before and had a bit of a nouveau riche heart. But the current situation made him realize that apart from the three-acre land in the civilian area,
He, the lowest-ranking aristocrat, was not worthy of his status. He could not even save the seriously ill Mei'er.
"Master Jiang, which one should we go to?" asked a gangster, running continuously in the heavy snow, and the horses were exhausted.
"Go to the Bauhinia Mercenary Group!" Jiang Xingchen said in a low voice. Previously, he was worried about Mei'er and wanted to find a doctor for treatment as soon as possible. But after walking down several large pharmacies, he realized that without Mo Hongxian's help, he couldn't save her on his own.
Little girl.
"Hoo Chi, Hoo Chi, Hoo Chi..." Mei'er's breathing speed suddenly accelerated, and Jiang Xingchen suddenly tightened his heartstrings.
"Little girl! Don't scare brother! If you hold on a little longer, we'll be there soon. Captain Mo is my brother's friend. She will find someone to save you..." Jiang Xingchen hugged Mei'er hard and pressed his face against hers.
Her hot cheeks.
"Brother!" A weak voice sounded, and Mei'er, who had been in a semi-conscious state, suddenly woke up a little and opened her eyes.
"Mei'er, you're awake!" Jiang Xingchen was overjoyed at first, but when he saw the little girl's eyes, his heart suddenly tightened to the extreme.
At this time, Mei'er's eyes actually had a glimmer of light, and she seemed to be in good spirits. This made the words "return to light and return to light" flash in his mind.
"Brother! Good luck with the noble identification. Show me your new identity tag!" Meier's voice became louder and her words were very fluent.
"Mei'er! My brother didn't bring his identity card. Can he give it to you when he gets home after the treatment?" Jiang Xingchen didn't dare to give it to her, for fear that her wish would be fulfilled and she would no longer worry about it after seeing it.
"You don't know, right? This time my brother got the noble status of 'Jun', which is one level higher than before... Haha, we are one step closer to our desire to go home!"
Jiang Xingchen didn't know what to do now. He could only give the little girl hope and concern so that she could continue to persevere.
"Home!" Mei'er's eyes brightened even more, and the corners of her mouth turned up, as if she saw a beautiful picture. There are mountains inside, water behind the mountains, and the majestic and vast mountains can be seen from afar...
"Mei'er! Brother promises you that as long as you are good, he will definitely take our home back... Do you remember what brother said to you? From now on, brother will play with you whatever you want to do. I
There are a lot of fun things here that you haven’t seen yet..."
Jiang Xingchen hugged Mei'er tightly, as if he was afraid that she would leave his arms.
"Yeah!" Mei'er smiled even brighter and nodded her head vigorously: "Brother keeps his word!"
"I swear! I will never lie to Meier!" Jiang Xingchen said seriously.
"Oh~ Brother, I'm a little sleepy!" After Meier smiled, her eyelids slowly drooped.
"Mei'er, don't sleep! Hold on, you are the strongest. When we were in the most difficult times, you persisted and took care of your brother... By the way, your jade pendant has not been redeemed yet... The new house is still waiting for you.
Arrangement... Can my brother tell you a story..."
Jiang Xingchen tried every means to prevent Mei'er from falling asleep. The two gangsters also shook their reins desperately, and the snow flew under their horses' hooves as they rushed towards the headquarters of the Bauhinia Mercenary Group.
