Half an hour later, the shopkeeper hurried back to the inn driving the donkey cart.
A thin young woman got off the donkey cart.
Although she was called a young woman, she was actually only eighteen or nineteen years old, with her hair tied up in a bun.
When the young woman saw the little miracle doctor her father had mentioned, she was still surprised.
How old is this child? Can he treat patients
The shopkeeper whispered, "My girl, don't underestimate her because she is young. She is a very skilled doctor. Mr. Li, who has lived in our house for several months, took a bottle of medicine she gave him yesterday and was able to get up this morning."
Although the young woman was hesitant, she still followed Yingbao into a guest room.
Ying Bao felt the woman's pulse and asked some questions before saying, "Your pulse is stringy and slippery, your qi and blood are insufficient, and you have a cold uterus."
The young woman nodded: "The other doctor said the same thing. Does the young doctor have any way to relieve the symptoms?"
"If you want to get pregnant, you must replenish your qi and blood first. I will prescribe a prescription for you. Use this prescription to make porridge."
Yingbao dipped the ink in the paper and wrote the prescription, then handed it to the woman.
The young woman took it and took a look. She was stunned to see the words jujube, wolfberry, donkey-hide gelatin and lotus seeds written on it.
That's it? It doesn't sound like a prescription.
Ying Bao explained, "You are still young, you only need to replenish your Qi and blood with food, you don't need to take anything else. Medicine is poisonous, you can stop taking all the previous medicines, eat more chicken, fish, vegetables and citrus fruits every day, and when your body is well, you will naturally get pregnant."
This woman often suffers from amenorrhea or has a long menstrual period because she eats too little and too monotonously on a daily basis, and most of the time she spends drinking medicinal juice, which makes her body more and more depleted.
When the woman heard Yingbao say this, she covered her face and cried.
Less than half a year after she married into her husband's family, her mother-in-law kept asking her why she wasn't pregnant.
She was terrified and couldn't eat or sleep well every day.
But after a year she was still not pregnant, so her mother-in-law hired a doctor and a fortune teller to help her, but after a long time of hard work, there was still no improvement.
The young woman suffered every day and had to drink a large bowl of bitter medicine three times a day.
That would have been fine, but her mother-in-law would bring her some talisman water and incense ash water every few days for her to drink, and every time she drank it, her stomach would feel uncomfortable for a long time.
Another year passed like this, and when her mother-in-law saw that she was still not pregnant, she started to make indirect accusations, saying that she would divorce her if she had no child within three years.
Now even her husband doesn't like her very much, which makes her parents very worried.
If she was really divorced and sent back to her parents' home, how could her parents and brothers hold their heads up in front of others
"Slave, will I really get pregnant in the future?" the young woman asked with tears in her eyes.
Yingbao: "As long as you take good care of your body, you will be fine."
This woman has become so skinny that she looks like a bag of bones. Her face is sallow and her hair is dry. If she continues like this, she will die in a few years, let alone have a baby.
The young woman wiped her eyes and said, "I will follow the doctor's advice and take good care of him."
The shopkeeper who was eavesdropping at the door suddenly pushed the door open and said to Ying Bao, "Young doctor, can you sell me some of your potion?"
Since the potion could cure Mr. Li who was about to die of illness, it could naturally cure others. If I didn't buy a few bottles, I would regret it for the rest of my life.
Yingbao: "Okay, how many bottles do you want to buy, uncle?"
The shopkeeper hesitated for a moment and asked, "Can my daughter take that medicine?"
"I guess so." She herself can eat it even if she is not sick, so there is no reason why this young woman can't.
The shopkeeper gritted his teeth and said, "I want to buy five bottles! No! Ten bottles!"
Ten bottles cost one hundred taels of silver, which I could barely afford.
Besides, compared with life, these one hundred taels are nothing.
Yingbao blinked and said, "Give me one hundred taels, and I will use the potion to cast the spell."
As she spoke, she took out ten small porcelain bottles from her bag and placed them in a row on the table.
"Okay! I'll go get the silver right away!" The innkeeper hurried out of the room and ran to get the money.
One hundred taels is not a small sum, so he has to go to the bank to withdraw it.
Half an hour later, the shopkeeper came back with ten silver ingots and handed them to Yingbao one by one.
Yingbao put away the silver ingot, then chanted a spell, pretending to cast a spell on the medicine bottle.
"The sky is clear and the earth is peaceful, the body is covered with armor, the wonderful method of Zijing can penetrate without a door, the great sage is compassionate, the nine transformations can drive away the disease, hurry up and obey the command! All right, these medicines have been given divine power, please keep them, uncle shopkeeper."
Yingbao stood up and said, "It's getting late. We have to leave."
She still had to go to the market with her mother, and they had been delayed for a long time.
The shopkeeper asked quickly, "Young Doctor, are you checking out now?"
"Yeah." After she and her mother finished shopping at the market, they had to rush back to the big ship. She had to go back early to prevent Xiao Chengjun from causing trouble again.
"Then I will do it now."
The shopkeeper took eight small porcelain bottles and put the remaining two into his daughter's hands, whispering, "Drink one bottle every day, and then follow the doctor's instructions, eat more, and stop taking the medicine your mother-in-law asked for. Medicines are three-quarters poison, so don't be careless."
"Yes." The woman nodded.
Afterwards, the shopkeeper happily checked out Yingbao and asked for her home address.
Yingbao did not hide it and told the truth.
After leaving the inn, the three of them strolled around the market and then found a mule cart to rush to the dock.
As a result, after searching around the dock, I couldn't find the boat that Xiao Chengjun hired.
"What's going on?" Chunniang was a little anxious.
It was only the next day, and I arrived a day earlier than Xiao Chengjun said, but the ship had actually left.
Not only did he drive away, he also took away several of her boxes.
Yingbao came to the place where the ship was docked and asked a tea vendor nearby: "Excuse me, uncle, do you know where the ship that was docked here before is?"
The vendor said, "That ship left this morning."
Drive away
Yingbao's heart sank suddenly.
Is Xiao Chengjun crazy
It would be fine if he just left a few of us behind, but why did he take her suitcase away as well
"Excuse me, uncle, is there a lady with two daughters on that ship?"
She wondered if Mrs. Wen and her family had also been abandoned by him.
The vendor thought for a moment and said, "Yes, in the morning a lady brought a pair of twin girls and a maid on board the boat, and the boat left not long after."
Son of a bitch!
Yingbao was so angry that she wanted to punch the ground.
This damn Xiao Chengjun! Did he do it on purpose
"Bao'er, what should we do?" Chun Niang grabbed her daughter's hand and asked anxiously, "Is Xiao Chengjun really gone? But why?"
It was clearly agreed upon and he also asked me to come back before noon the day after tomorrow.
But I came back a day earlier, why did the ship still leave
Yingbao held A Niang's hand tightly and comforted her, "It's okay, let's stay here for one night and talk about it tomorrow."
If Xiao Chengjun's boat doesn't show up tomorrow, it means they really abandoned her and the other two.
"Okay." Chunniang held the frightened Chen Zhao, "Let's find an inn to stay in first."
There is a market town near this pier. It looks much bigger than Chuanhe Town. It not only has inns, but also many shops.
Chunniang first booked a room, then sat not far from the pier and looked out towards the river.
There are few large ships docked here, most of them are small fishing boats.
The fishermen were seen standing at the bow, throwing out their nets, and then slowly dragging back a net full of lively fish.
Yingbao saw that A Niang looked worried and comforted her: "It's okay, at worst we can hire a few escorts to help us get back home."
Chunniang nodded.
She was not worried about not being able to return home, but she was worried about the boxes on the ship.
