Transmigration: The Farm Life of a “Fool”

After getting everything done in the kitchen, Xu Ran and Liu Tong came to Wu Mei’s yard. After all, the owner of the house was not at home, and they felt too embarrassed to stay indoors. It happened that the children were all playing in the yard, so they could also watch the children and not let them misbehave.

Soon, Wu Mei and Liu Qing came back, followed by a person, who was an itinerant physician in the village surnamed Liu. He was an outsider. People in the village called him Doctor Liu.

Seeing Xu Ran and Liu Tong standing in the yard, Wu Mei frowned, “Liu Tong, why don’t you let Xu Ran sit in the room? Wasn’t his leg bitten? How careless you are!”

Liu Tong smiled, “Don’t worry. It’s just a bite. It will be fine after seeing the doctor.”

Liu Qing had invited Doctor Liu into the room and asked Liu Tong and Xu Ran to go over there.

Liu Tong supported Xu Ran into the room, and then he said to Doctor Liu, “Doctor Liu, please take a look for Ran. He was slapped in the face and then his mouth bled. His leg was bitten, too.”

Doctor Liu asked Xu Ran to lie down on the bed, and then asked him to open his mouth to show him the wound there. The wound in his mouth was difficult to get healed, so he could only let it recover itself slowly. As long as he was healthy with no internal heat, he would recover soon.

As for the injury on his leg, Doctor Liu disinfected it with liquor, then applied medicine and put a bandage on it.

It was so hot these days that if the wound was not handled properly, it would easily deteriorate.

Although Xu Ran was bleeding, his injuries were not very serious, and all he needed was to recuperate.

Liu Tong also took the opportunity to consult Dr. Liu, “Dr. Liu, Ran seems to be quite conscious these days. Please help him to see if the injury on his head is healed. And please prescribe some medicine.”

Hearing Liu Tong’s words, all the people present were overjoyed. If Xu Ran was really well again, it would be an event of great rejoicing!

So Docotr Liu took Xu Ran’s pulse, gave a few of acupuncture treatments, and then prescribed some medicine for Xu Ran to take first. He told them, “It is really getting better, and whether he will totally recover or not depends on this medicine. Let’s see if the medicine is effective.”

Liu Tong nodded, his face full of pleasure and expectation.

After treating Xu Ran, Doctor Liu planned to leave, but he was stopped by Xu Ran.

He looked at Xu Ran, who was lying on bed, and asked, “Yes, Mr. Xu, what’s the matter?”

Xu Ran pointed at Liu Tong, “Doctor, please, Tongtong… he hurts.”

Hearing Xu Ran’s words, Liu Tong was stunned for a moment. He then remembered the injury on his own shoulder. If Xu Ran didn’t mention it, he wouldn’t have thought of its treament.

Liu Qing also came to understand it, “Liu Tong, were you injured, too? Then be quick. Let Doctor Liu see it. Otherwise, what can your family do if you fall down!”

Liu Tong also thought of this and didn’t refuse.

“Doctor Liu, I was injured on my shoulder. I was hit by a wooden rod. Please give me some medicine to activate blood circulation and dissipate blood stasis.”

As Liu Tong was a daddy, it was not convenient for Doctor Liu to ask him to take off his clothes to show him his wounds. The doctor could only give him some ointment for him to apply on his wound.

“Don’t do hard work during this period of time. Apply the medicine to the wound regularly. If you use up the medicine, come and get it from me until it doesn’t hurt,”

Doctor Liu advised. Then he took the medical kit and prepared to leave. It was a small village and he had heard the story about Xu Ran and Liu Tong, so he even didn’t ask for the medical fees.

“Doctor Liu, can we owe you the diagnosis fee and give it to you later?” Liu Tong said apologetically.

Doctor Liu waved his hand, “All right. Just forget it. I know you are in trouble. I won’t take the money this time.”

“Oh, no. We appreciate your kind offer but we cannot accept it. We have brought you a lot of trouble in coming here. How can I let you get free of the fee?” Liu Tong said disapprovingly.

Doctor Liu didn’t want to argue much. He picked up his medical kit and left.

Wu Mei chased after Doctor Liu, saying that he was sending him off.

At the door, Wu Mei took out some money and gave it to Doctor Liu, “Doctor Liu, this is the fee for Liu Tong’s family. Thank you so much. I know you are kind, but you bought this medicine with money. Anyway, I can’t let you spend money. Take it, please.”

Looking at the money in Wu Mei’s hand, Doctor Liu hesitated for a while and then accepted it. Liu Tong had been in Xu Village for seven years, and he had never submitted to any hardship confronting him. Doctor Liu knew his character well, so he accepted the money as well.
