Chapter 488 Buying Medicine
Xu said sadly:
"My Miaomiao has finally grown up. However, don't go into the mountains alone in the future. At least go with the villagers, or let your mother go with you."
Horizontal said:
"Mom, my sister is back. I'll go tell Dad. Don't let him worry anymore."
"Okay, your father keeps talking about it, you should go quickly." said Xu.
Gu Xi thought that Shui Miaomiao's father Shui Youcheng had his legs broken in prison, and he must be bedridden, so she had to go and see him.
"Mom, I'm going to see Dad too."
“Can you walk?”
Gu Xi grinned:
"I'm fine. I'll come back to rest after seeing dad."
Gu Xi followed Shui Pingfang and Xu to the main room and saw Shui Youcheng leaning on the bed, looking outside.
I was relieved to see my daughter come back.
"Dad! I'm back!" Gu Xi shouted crisply, then rushed to the bed and grabbed Shui Youcheng's wrist.
Although this body has no special powers, Gu Xi has cured countless patients before, and the medical skills he has accumulated will not disappear.
Shui Youcheng just felt that his daughter was more enthusiastic and filial than before, and he didn't think there was anything wrong with it.
"Hey, it'll be good to come back, it'll be good to come back."
The simple and honest country man felt very pleased when he looked at his daughter.
"Dad, I want to take a look at your legs." Gu Xi said again.
Even if there was no mission, she would be saved just because of the kindness of this family.
Shui Youcheng said somewhat awkwardly:
"What's so good about that? Don't scare you."
Gu Xi lifted the quilt:
"I'm not afraid."
Then he touched Shui Youcheng's leg, tried to squeeze out the tears, and said:
"It's all the daughter's fault. She harmed her father."
Aqua City waved his hand:
"What are you talking about? If you want to blame someone, blame that bastard Chen Fengzhi. Girl, let's not think about him anymore. Live a good life and everything will be fine."
Gu Xi nodded:
"Don't worry, Dad. That kind of bastard is not worth your daughter's attention!"
Shui Youcheng, Shui Pingfang, and Xu all looked at Gu Xi in confusion.
What happened to my daughter?
A few days ago, he was making a fuss about going to find Chen Fengzhi, why did he suddenly change his mind today?
"Miao Miao, have you... really let it go?" Shuipingfang asked in surprise.
After asking, he looked at his parents awkwardly. He felt that he was too talkative and was afraid of making his sister sad.
Gu Xi kneaded Shui Youcheng's legs and said coldly:
"That scumbag, he's kneeling in front of me now, I can't even look at him again!"
He will only be rewarded with a hundred sticks!
The whole family breathed a sigh of relief.
It seems that Miaomiao really doesn't like Chen Fengzhi anymore.
Shui Youcheng watched his daughter pinching his legs, and for some reason, he felt like a doctor examining his injuries.
Then he shook his head again. His daughter didn't know any medical skills. She might just feel sorry for him and wanted to massage him, thinking that the pain would go away.
After the examination, Gu Xi had a clear understanding of the injuries.
The wound was a little inflamed and the bone was not properly healed.
She must find a way to reconnect Shui Youcheng's broken bones before he grows stronger, but she has no medicine at the moment.
Gu Xi asked:
"Mom, how much money is left at home?"
Shuiyoucheng, Shuipingfang, and Xu's expressions tensed.
Could it be that the silly girl wants money again to support that bastard?
Gu Xi hurriedly explained:
"I want to buy some medicine for Dad."
The three of them breathed a sigh of relief.
Xu said:
"It's hard to hunt in the mountains right now, and we're out of money at home. But if your brother takes the game he hunted today to the market tomorrow, he should be able to sell it for a few dozen copper coins."
Water City Road:
"We've already consulted a doctor. There's no need to waste money. Dad is fine."
Gu Xi said:
"The barefoot doctor in the village is not very good. I have to go to the town to buy medicine for my father. Brother, when you go to sell the game tomorrow, take me with you."
She must heal Aquaman's leg as soon as possible.
According to Shui Miaomiao, when she came through, the weather was already dry and it hadn't rained for a long time. In a while, there will be a locust plague, many crops will be destroyed, and food prices will soar.
At that time, the whole village will have to flee from famine and find a place with water to survive.
Shui Youcheng was dragging his sick leg, so it was naturally difficult for him to walk.
The horizontal party hesitated.
In the past, Shui Miaomiao had never been willing to go to town with him to sell prey because she disliked the smell of blood on the prey.
He also felt that it was not good for a girl to be contaminated with blood.
But looking at his sister's determined eyes, he nodded unconsciously:
"it is good!"
The next morning.
As soon as the rooster crowed, Gu Xi followed Shui Fang out.
Shuipingfang was also quite surprised. His sister usually slept in the mornings, but he didn't expect her to get up so quickly and be so energetic.
It's true that a broken heart makes people grow, and my sister's growth rate is amazing!
Shuipingfang carried a few pheasants and rabbits that he had shot yesterday, and Gu Xi carried an empty backpack, and the brother and sister set off.
On the way, Gu Xi asked:
"Brother, are you eighteen?"
According to Shui Miaomiao's story, the Shui family has three children. The eldest brother is Shui Fang, who is eighteen years old this year.
Shui Miaomiao is fifteen years old.
She also has a ten-year-old younger brother, Shui Lifang. Because Xu's mother's hometown is a big village with a private school, Shui Lifang studies there and stays at his grandmother's house.
Horizontal nod:
"Yes."
Gu Xi asked:
"Then do you have a sweetheart?"
Shui Pingfang smiled innocently, with a barely perceptible blush on his face:
"No, matchmaker Wang did introduce me to a marriage partner a while ago, but I haven't had time to propose yet, so my family--"
Shui Pingfang immediately shut up.
Why is he saying this? Isn't this poking my sister's lungs?
Gu Xi didn't think there was anything wrong with it. He just wanted to chat for a while and find out about the situation at home.
After walking for half an hour, the brother and sister arrived in the town and it was already dawn.
People came over one after another to ask about the price.
The prey from the horizontal plane was fresh and cheap, so it was quickly sold out, for a total of eighty copper coins.
The brother and sister went to the town's clinic.
It is called a clinic, but in fact it is just a small drug store with only one doctor who is also the manager and one apprentice.
Gu Xi told the doctor about the situation in Shuiyou City and asked him to prescribe some medicine.
After the doctor prescribed the medicine, he asked for a hundred copper coins.
Gu Xi looked at the prescription. Most of the medicine was fine, but there were still a few ingredients that were not written down, which showed that the doctor's medical skills were mediocre.
Gu Xi said:
"Doctor, we don't have that much money to buy so many medicines. Just buy one dose first."
The doctor paused for a moment:
"One dose of medicine cannot cure the patient."
Gu Xi said:
"We'll buy it when we have enough money."
The doctor didn't know what to say, so he just collected twenty copper coins for the medicine.
If you buy medicine, the prescription is free, Gu Xi put the prescription away.
Shuipingfang originally wanted to say, why not buy all the eighty copper coins, but when he saw his sister quickly pay the money, take the medicine and leave, he didn't say much. Anyway, she could come to town again tomorrow.
