Views:

Yingbao received the yellow talisman paper, cinnabar and a brush from the shopkeeper.

Grind cinnabar with dripping water, then dip a brush and draw a talisman to ward off evil spirits.

The talisman isn't very well drawn, and the lines are a bit crooked, but it finally looks like what it is.

It’s a pity that I forgot to buy the peach wood sword, the priest robe, and the priest hat, otherwise I would be a proper forbidden spellcaster.

The shopkeeper stood next to the little girl, watching her tinkering with it, feeling confused.

He didn't dare to comment on the quality of the talisman, but the little baby seemed to be a real witch doctor.

When she chanted incantations and drew talismans, her mother and her sister were not surprised, which meant that she often treated people in this way.

The shopkeeper couldn't help but look forward to it.

Several people came to the scholar's room. Yingbao recited the spell silently several times. Now she just had to recite it by finger gestures.

Then he walked through the Yu Steps that he had practiced in the past few days twice, muttered something, took out a small porcelain bottle of medicine from his bag, and fed it to the scholar.

The scholar looked to be in his twenties, with an unshaven beard, unkempt hair, and a strange smell all over his body.

Yingbao stepped back a few steps and said to the shopkeeper, "Have someone boil some water to clean him up later."

This smell is enough to make people feel nauseous.

Fortunately, the toilet in the house is cleaned every day, otherwise the whole house would stink.

The shopkeeper nodded and said, "I have to have him cleaned every now and then, otherwise he won't look like a human being."

After drinking the medicine, the scholar fell asleep, and several people in the room also left.

That night, while Chunniang and Chen Zhao were fast asleep, Yingbao concentrated and entered the cave and began to sort out the seeds.

Some seeds of each vegetable were scattered on the land around Pupil Spring, including sesame.

He also cut open ripe watermelons and honeydew melons, took out the seeds, and planted a patch of land.

As for lychees and longans, the cores were removed and buried in black soil to grow seedlings, with twenty to thirty trees of each type buried.

Afterwards, I went to check the ginseng buried in the black soil and found that one of them had sprouted.

Oh my god! The ginseng finally sprouted!

Yingbao was so happy that she lay in front of Xiaoya and watched her for a long time.

When they bear fruit, I will plant a lot of ginseng myself.

We also need to find a way to grow Panax notoginseng and Astragalus.

It would be best if you can find fresh Panax notoginseng and Astragalus membranaceus, and then plant them directly in the cave.

the next day.

The shopkeeper knocked on the door early: "Little doctor! Little doctor!"

Chunniang went to open the door: "What's the matter, shopkeeper?"

"Li Xiucai can get up now."

The shopkeeper said with a happy face: "Please go and see if he is better."

Yingbao ran over immediately after hearing this and said, "I'll go take a look."

She gave him a bottle of Wudingzhi liquid diluted with Pupil Spring. It didn't make sense for it to work so quickly. Could it be the result of her chanting of spells and drawing of talismans

Several people came to the next room and saw the scholar sitting on the edge of the bed. His hair was combed neatly, his clothes were changed, and he looked much more energetic.

It's just that his thin cheeks and stubble make him look a little haggard.

Seeing Yingbao, the scholar stood up and bowed deeply to her: "Thank you for saving my life, Li Xu will never forget it."

Ying Bao nodded in a pretentious manner, "It is our duty to save lives, so Mr. Li, please don't mind."

She looked at Li Xu and asked, "Are you feeling unwell?"

Li Xu said honestly, "I feel a dull pain in my chest and my limbs are weak."

"Sit here, I'll take your pulse." Yingbao took the lead and sat down at the small table.

Li Xu followed his instructions, sat down on one side, and stretched out his thin wrist.

Yingbao felt his pulse and listened to his back.

This person has a lung disease, which is a bit similar to my second uncle's lung disease.

It is estimated that because he caught a cold and did not receive timely treatment, his body was gradually worn down.

Yingbao thought about it and asked the shopkeeper to bring paper and pen. She wrote the prescription and handed it to him, asking him to get the medicine.

She also took out a small bottle of medicine from her bag and handed it to Li Xu, asking him to drink it.

Li Xu drank the potion without hesitation, not a drop left.

The shopkeeper handed the prescription to the waiter and asked him to go to the pharmacy to get the medicine. Then he looked at Ying Bao with burning eyes. "Well, little doctor, are you going to see patients?"

Yingbao shook her head: "No."

She was planning to go back to the ship in the afternoon, so how could she still see patients

The shopkeeper sighed and said, "To be honest, my daughter is married in the west of the city and has been pregnant for almost three years. I would like to ask the young doctor to take a look at her."

Yingbao: "I'm sorry, it's not convenient for me to see the patient. We will return to the ship in the afternoon."

When the shopkeeper heard that she was leaving in the afternoon, he was a little anxious and asked quickly: "Well, how about I bring my daughter here and ask the young doctor to take a look at her?"

Yingbao had no choice but to nod: "Okay, but I'm only responsible for seeing patients, not providing medicine, because my medicine is very precious."

She picked up the small porcelain bottle that Li Shusheng had drunk from and said, "A bottle of special medicine like this will cost ten taels of silver."

"Ah?" Li Shusheng and the shopkeeper were both stunned.

"Ten, ten taels?" Li Shusheng's hands and feet were trembling.

He has actually consumed twenty taels of silver from yesterday till now. What should I do

Li Xu bowed to Ying Bao again and said, "I'm really sorry, I don't have 20 taels of silver. How about you please leave your address, and I will personally deliver it to your door when I have the money."

Yingbao didn't hesitate to write her address on a piece of paper and handed it to Li Shusheng.

Li Xu took the paper, blew the ink dry, folded it carefully, and put it in his bookcase.

Seeing how cautious he was, Yingbao began to feel a bit more favorable towards him.

Regardless of whether this person will send the silver or not, his attitude makes people feel at ease.

The shopkeeper gritted his teeth and said, "I will go and fetch my daughter now. Please stay for a while, young doctor."

Yingbao: "Well, please come back soon. I have to go out with my mother to buy some things."

She hasn't bought the local grain and vegetable seeds yet, so she plans to go around the area during the morning market, it would be great if she could collect one or two.

"I'll be back soon!" The shopkeeper hurried out and asked his ten-year-old son to look after the store while he went to his in-laws' house to pick up his daughter.

After the shopkeeper left, Yingbao took out a packet of pills from her bag.

"There are thirty pills in total. Take one pill every day. If you still don't feel better after taking them, you can come to my hometown to find me."

Li Xu took the pill tremblingly and asked, "How much money does this medicine cost?"

"One tael of silver per piece, thirty pieces make thirty taels in total." Ying Bao said.

Li Xu almost couldn't hold the medicine bag in his hand, and hurriedly shook his head and said, "Thank you for your kindness, young doctor, but my family is in financial difficulty, and I'm afraid I can't afford to pay so much money."

He wanted to return the medicine bag, but Yingbao stopped him, "It's okay, it won't be too late to return it after you get better and pass the imperial examination."

Li Xu was confused: "What if that young man fails the exam?"

The imperial examination is difficult, who can guarantee that they will pass

"If you fail the exam, you can go to my hometown and open a school there to teach children to read and pay off your debts."

What Yingbao admires most is scholars, and that is why she saved him.

"Okay." Li Xu bowed deeply, "I will accept this with humility."
