Chapter 116: Born to be My Natural Enemy?
She could not do anything about him. She walked up to him and slapped the paper containing the prescription on his chest.
Qian Jiyun did not tease her anymore either. He took the prescription and studied it.
“A prescription for treating the epidemic disease?” He raised his eyebrows and looked at her.
An Jiuyue shrugged and replied, “Something like that.”
“This is a prescription I happened to obtain in the past. It was said that it’s specifically used to treat epidemic diseases. However, its exact use varies for different persons and diseases.
“The prescription still needs revision. I’ve never met anyone with epidemic disease, so I don’t know how to do that.”
In truth, she had studied Western medicine. It would be easy for her to perform surgery on someone now. However, she was quite unfamiliar with Chinese medicine.
“Do you know any imperial physicians? Give this prescription to them and let them handle it. However, don’t implicate me. I won’t admit it if you tell others that this prescription is mine.”
She made it clear first so that her prescription could not be traced back to her to save herself a lot of trouble.
It did not matter if she denied that the prescription was hers. She would be happy as long as the Points Mall recognized her actions and her points increased.
“Did you also put medicine based on this prescription inside the mountain spring?” Qian Jiyun guessed, looking at her earnestly.
He had smelt a faint medicinal scent when he went to fetch water at the mountain spring. He thought she prepared in advance and scattered medicinal powder.
An Jiuyue was silent.
What’s this guy’s zodiac? He’s so sharp. Is he born to be my natural enemy?
“Not really. I only used a few medicinal herbs. It’s not easy to find herbs on the mountain. Some of the herbs in the prescription can’t be found during this season,” she replied honestly.
There had just been a flood, and now, there was this commotion. With five children at home, it was naturally impossible for her to get these medicines.
Besides, she had limited money. She could not possibly starve herself to death for the sake of others. She was not that generous.
“Understood.”
Qian Jiyun nodded and folded the prescription carefully before putting it away.
“Good. You should do what you need to do. I’ll go cook.”
With that, An Jiuyue closed the door and went to the kitchen. She had to lock the door every day and could not afford to relax for a moment anymore.
She was meant to work hard all her life. It was rather exhausting thinking, monitoring, and managing everything.
“Oh, right, one more thing.”
She turned around by the kitchen door suddenly and looked at Qian Jiyun.
“The excuse I gave Aunt Ju and Aunt Miao just now is not a lie. I do hope that you can use this free time to teach your sons some self-defense moves. This is a good time for them to learn martial arts.
“Their bones will fuse after some time. It’ll be harder to learn martial arts then.”
“Alright, I will,” Qian Jiyun replied.
…
The quiet days on the mountain passed quickly. Three days passed in the blink of an eye.
Not many climbed up the mountain over the past few days, so they did not receive any news from the village.
However, the village was far from peaceful.
“Another one! Why don’t they care about the lives of our villagers?”
