Xia Chu followed the memories of his previous life and searched for a medicine shop in the West Market of the capital.
He was alone now, and he didn't want to tell his father that he had used the power of the Marquis Mansion to make the Marquis worried.
then what should we do
Then poach people!
He recruited the people around Xiao Yanjun in his previous life to be his confidants in advance. Using his power to suppress him is a pleasure to think about.
The first person he thought of poaching was the Su brothers and sisters.
In the previous life, Xiao Yanjun brought the sister of the Su family to her for diagnosis and treatment. After checking her pulse, she found that she had tuberculosis. The illness is serious and cannot be cured. He could only hang his life with various precious medicinal materials so that his brother could continue to work for Xiao Yanjun.
Xiao Yanjun mentioned in his memory that he met his brother at the entrance of Ji'an Medicine Hall in Xishi. Seeing that he had no money to buy medicine and was being bullied, and seeing that he was tall and handsome, and that he looked like a man who had practiced martial arts, he took action to relieve the situation.
Later, I accidentally discovered that he had excellent swordsmanship and extraordinary skills, so he started to win over him. After learning that his sister was seriously ill, she was given to Xia Chu for diagnosis and treatment.
At this time, Xia Chu walked through the streets and alleys, looking around, and finally found the Ji'an drug store.
After entering the store, I looked around. The shop is not big, but it has everything you need. The waiter saw that he was dressed in an extraordinary way, but he didn't want to buy anything, so he came up to talk to him: "What do you want, Master?"
"You have a man here who often comes here to buy medicine for tuberculosis. He is about eight feet tall, with a good appearance and a strong build."
"There is such a very tall and burly man who came to buy medicine." Halfway through his words, he stared at Xia Chu and said nothing.
Xia Chu smiled knowingly and took out a piece of silver.
The man stretched out his hand and Xia Chu motioned for him to continue.
"He comes here every day to buy medicine at around midnight. The doctors we consulted all said that tuberculosis cannot be cured and that taking it is useless, but he ignored it."
"Don't say you've seen me later." Xia Chu put the silver into his hand.
The boy nodded happily: "I understand, I understand. Master, please walk slowly."
After leaving the medicine shop, Xia Chu saw a teahouse diagonally opposite, so he went over to rest and wait.
After only two cups of tea, he saw the brother of the Su family enter the medicine shop. Xia Chu put some broken silver on the table and got up and went downstairs. He estimated the opportunity. When he grabbed the medicine and turned around to go out, he happened to meet him. Hit it.
Human beings, of course everything will be fine.
It was just medicine, scattered all over the floor.
Xia Chu said sorry while helping him pick up medicine.
"Hey, this is consumption."
The Su family brother didn't say anything and silently picked up the medicine.
"This tuberculosis is an incurable disease..."
The Su family brother raised his head and glared at Xia Chu fiercely, his eyes filled with anger.
"But I can cure it."
The Su family brother's face suddenly fell, and his wide-open eyes turned from anger to ecstasy, then from ecstasy to surprise, and then from surprise to exploration.
Xia Chu waved his hand in front of him: "Are you stupid? In this world, only I can treat tuberculosis..."
With a 'plop', the Su family brother knelt in front of him.
Xia Chu originally looked up to talk to him, but before she finished speaking, she now looked down at him.
"As long as you can save my sister, my life will be yours." After saying this, the Su family brother kowtowed loudly.
"My life is mine now?" Xia Chu asked with raised eyebrows.
"Yes." Brother Su's answer was loud and firm.
"Okay." Xia Chu didn't waste any words and gave him a virtual support: "Lead the way."
After hearing this, the Su family brother hurriedly stood up and nodded to lead the way. He hesitated to speak along the way. Xia Chu looked amused: "Are you thinking that I am young and suspect that I have deceived you?"
The Su family brother nodded, then quickly shook his head with guilt.
"Don't worry, it's not just me. In this world, I am the only one who can save your sister." Xia Chu said confidently.
Unless he was exaggerating, the disease would have been terminal.
Perhaps, if Bai Ruofei came, she would have a chance to be cured, but she would not be as skilled as him.
After all, in his last life, he had treated the Su family sister for a long time.
It's a pity that Xiao Yanjun was sent too late, otherwise he could have been cured.
This time, it was two years earlier than the last time I met the sister of the Su family.
Therefore, he is very sure.
Brother Su's brother felt relieved when he saw how confident he looked.
"We're here." The Su family brother pointed to the ruined temple ahead.
"We can't stay in an inn." He saw that Xia Chu was dressed luxuriously, but he was also afraid that Xia Chu would dislike the messy temple. The dignified eight-foot-tall man was submissive and carefully explained to Xia Chu.
Xia Chu nodded, understanding in his heart.
Tuberculosis is a contagious disease, and people are afraid of it and even call it the white plague. Naturally, they can't stay in inns, and B&Bs will probably crowd them out.
Seeing his frightened expression, Xia Chu walked into the ruined temple first.
The temple was empty except for a woman lying in the innermost corner, sleeping lightly.
Xia Chu walked to her side and the woman woke up.
In this deep winter season, my face is covered with sweat.
"Girl, do you often have night sweats?"
The woman nodded.
"Shall I take your pulse?"
The woman glanced at her brother, and when he nodded, she meekly extended her hand.
After Xia Chu examined the patient for a while, he asked, "Does the girl have chest tightness, chest pain, loss of appetite, is she coughing up blood?"
"Yes, I have all the symptoms you mentioned, but I haven't coughed up blood yet, and occasionally there is some blood in the sputum."
Xia Chu nodded. He had not yet coughed up blood, and the disease was still in its early stages. With the three herbs taken from Bai Ruofei's pharmacy, it shouldn't hurt to spend some time preparing them.
Brother Su's brother saw him meditating and thought it was the same as what doctors had done in the past. He asked in a depressed tone: "It can't be cured, right?"
"Brother, I'm fine. I've been... used to it for a long time." The sister of the Su family said with relief.
"Huh?" Xia Chu realized that his silence had caused them to misunderstand, and quickly added: "It can be cured."
"Really?!" the brother and sister said in unison, a strange light bursting out of their eyes. It was a kind of surprise that suddenly saw a glimmer of light after being in darkness for a long time.
"Of course, you brothers and sisters are poor and useless. What do I want to do to you?"
The brother of the Su family looked embarrassed, and pulled his sister to kneel down with another 'plop'.
"I'm Su Qian'an."
"I'm Su Qianle."
"I would like to be a cow or a horse, and make a ring of grass. I will repay the grace of saving my life." After saying this, he kowtowed three times.
"Get up quickly. You need to change your habit of kneeling all the time."
"Yes, yes." Su Qian'an quickly helped Su Qianle get up.
"You guys clean up, uh... there's nothing to clean up. You two can go back home with me, Qianle needs to rest for her illness."
"Huh? House? Which house should I go to?"
"My surname is Xia and my given name is Chu. I am the only legitimate son of the Xiahou Mansion. Which mansion do you want to return to?" Xia Chu put on airs and acted like a child of a dandy family.
When Su Qian'an heard this, she was about to kneel down again, but Xia Chu helped her up in mid-air, and she stood silently with a shy look on her face. He didn't know how lucky he was to meet such a noble person.
"Little Marquis?"
"Just call me Master, let's go."
"Yes, Master." Su Qian'an bowed, helped her sister and left with Xia Chu.
