During the famine, my ancient well connected to modern times

Chapter 21 Relieving Pain
"Doctor Lu, if my eldest brother's leg is nursed back to normal from now on, will it be able to return to normal?" Jiang Miao nervously looked at Doctor Lu who was taking the medicine, hoping to hear the answer she wanted to hear from his mouth.

Doctor Lu raised his eyes and glanced at her. They all said that the scholar from the Jiang family had a stupid sister, but he had seen her a few times. Every time, she had beautiful eyes and organized speech. How could she look like a fool?
He pretended to be profound and said: "Your eldest brother's leg is disabled. No one in the entire Huachang County can cure it. Unless you go to the county seat, it is too far. It takes a day's journey to come back. You guys Can the family afford this money?"

Dr. Lu knew about the situation at Jiang Qian's home. Seeing Jiang Miao lower her head and break her fingers, he chuckled and said, "If you ask me, just treat it at home. Although there is no guarantee that your brother's leg will be cured, it can at least relieve the pain. "

Doctor Lu kept talking about how complicated the treatment process was and how much it cost. However, Jiang Miao didn't respond at all, and she was even a little disappointed.

But soon she perked up.

Although it cannot be completely cured, it is good to relieve some pain. Whenever it is cloudy and rainy, she feels very uncomfortable when she sees her eldest brother in pain.

Jiang Miao told herself that she could no longer waste time like this and must save money quickly so that she could send her eldest brother to the county town for medical treatment as early as possible.

Doctor Lu gave her the medicine and told her how to take it.

Jiang Miao gave the money and said, "Doctor Lu, can you please write a prescription for my brother's leg?"

Dr. Lu was just waiting for her to ask?
After writing the prescription, he gave her a few more medicines and asked her to finish them and come back to him.

Jiang Miao nodded, thinking of Luo Tingye's injury and then said, "Write another prescription for treating trauma for me."

Doctor Lu frowned, "Why do you want a prescription for treating trauma?"

Jiang Miao almost blurted out, but thought of her brother's protection of Luo Tingye, so she changed her words, "Farmers will inevitably encounter bumps and bruises, and injuries are common. I want to be prepared."

It is inevitable for villagers to get injured, but who would prepare medicine if nothing happens?

This little girl won't get along if she looks at it.

No matter what, as long as you make money.

Doctor Lu wrote the prescription with a smile and grabbed a few more medicines. The total cost of the ordinary medicinal materials was two hundred coins.

The price was within Jiang Miao's acceptable range, so she happily gave him two slings of money.

This surprised Dr. Lu who was waiting for her to bargain. It had only been one day, where did this girl get so much money?

Maybe it was stolen or robbed.

"Where did you get the money from?"

Jiang Miao saw the doubt in his eyes, felt insulted, and said angrily: "My eldest brother earns money from copying books."

Dr. Lu suddenly realized that he could indeed make money by copying books, but there were a few scholars in Shiliba Village who could write well. Jiang Qian could make money by copying books, which shows that his calligraphy must be good. In this way, their family's life was also good. It's not as hard as I imagined.

Doctor Lu regretted that the price he had just quoted was a bit low, so he strongly recommended the best healing herbs at home.

When Jiang Miao heard that the medicine could cure all diseases, she was excited, but she backed down after hearing the price.

My eldest brother's leg can only be treated in the county town. It's too far away from the county town. The family has to rent a car. Moreover, when we get to the county town, we have to live and see a doctor. How much money does it cost?Jiang Miao declined Doctor Lu's strong recommendation and walked home with a basket of medicinal materials on her back.

When she went home, she deliberately took a long detour to avoid the villagers. She thought she could hide the fact that she was rich, but she didn't expect that Doctor Lu had no control over his words. In less than two days, everyone in the village knew about it. Jiang Qian made a lot of money by copying books.

Many people were skeptical, but for several days they smelled the smell of medicine coming from the yard. Gradually, everyone came to believe that Jiang Qian had really made money. Otherwise, how could he have the money to take medicine?

A family with a scholar at home felt extremely envious when they saw that Jiang Qian was making money, but when they saw that their own children only wanted money to study.

There are also people who come to ask for help, hoping that Jiang Qian can make money with his children.

In a small place like theirs, when people let their children go to school, they don't always want them to get ahead. Most of them hope that their children can make money for the family as soon as possible after learning skills.

Jiang Qian made money and gave them hope.

When Jiang Qian learned of their purpose, he was not stingy and happily gave them Boss Wang's address and asked them to try it out.

The people in the village went there with the intention of giving it a try, but without exception they were all rejected.

There is no other reason than that their handwriting is too ugly and far from meeting the standards of copying books.

But the parents did not give up. In a blink of an eye, they took their children to the Jiang family's yard, hoping that Jiang Qian could give guidance to their children in writing. They did not ask for anything else but that one day they could make money by copying books like him.

Jiang Qian agreed to build a good relationship with the people in the village.

For several days, the Jiang family's yard was crowded with children of all sizes. While Jiang Qian was teaching them how to write, he would occasionally teach them some principles of reading.

From time to time, the sound of reading could be heard in the yard, and many villagers passing by stopped and re-examined the position of the Jiang brothers and sisters in their hearts.

Every day after buying food, Jiang Miao would write with them. Although her writing was ugly, she was making progress day by day.

During the day, she practiced calligraphy with her brother, and at night, she and Luo Tingye learned some knowledge that was not available here. In less than half a month, Jiang Miao made rapid progress.

Days passed day by day, and on this day, Jiang Miao came back from Baimaguan Town, her mood was not very high.

"What should we do now? The shopkeeper won't let us send phlome there every day. Then when can we collect the travel expenses?"

Because the rice shipped from the mysterious town was white and fat, the restaurant owner came up with such a nice name in order to do business. At first, wealthy businessmen in the city came one after another and wanted to taste the taste of phlome, but time passed. As time went by, everyone found that the taste of Phlomi was almost the same as ordinary grain, and they gradually lost interest. This also led to a decrease in the demand for Phlomi, and the shopkeeper had no choice but to let them deliver it every five days.

According to Jiang Miao's plan, if she delivers Phulumi for another three months, she will be able to raise the travel expenses to take her eldest brother to the county town to see his legs, but this will delay the time.

Jiang Miao lowered her head, like a wild cat that hadn't eaten any fish, or like an angry hedgehog, full of hostility.

"Baimaguan Town is just a small town. Although Phulumi is fresh, it has been around for a long time, and people are no longer interested. If you want to make money, you have to take a longer-term view. We can buy the rice elsewhere."
