Chapter 24 – Crazy for meat
Yan Xiaosi said the same as before.
“Didn’t Dad leave a few medical books? I read them all when I had time. I learned from them. Not only can I bandage wounds, but also cure headaches and fever.”
Yan Shuyun grew a bit excited when she heard it.
“Xiaosi, why haven’t you said before that you can treat people?”
Yan Xiaosi stood up with the water basin and said, “I’m too embarrassed to tell you what I learned in the book.”
“Third sister, your wound is still bleeding. Don’t put down the trouser leg for the time being. It might stick to the wound again.”
Yan Shuyun nodded and watched as Yan Xiaosi poured the water outside. Yan Xiaosi then prepared to leave.
“Xiaosi, it’s getting dark. Where are you going?”
Yan Xiaosi waved back at her and said, “Third sister, I’m going to find some medicine for your wounds.”
After taking a turn and no longer in sight of their home, she entered the portable space. She took a bottle of powdered Chinese medicine from the fifth row of shelves on the first floor of the small foreign building. It is primarily used to treat wounds.
There were also many Western medicines for treating wounds in the pharmacy, which could take effect quickly. But because Zhong Shi, Yan Shuqin, Yan Shuxue, and Yan Shuyun were all cautious, Yan Xiaosi didn’t want to use the Western medicine that they were unfamiliar with, lest Zhong Shi and Yan Shuqin question her again.
After getting the medicine for Yan Shuyun, she inspected the pharmacy on the first floor. She found the third shelf that she had taken a bottle of snake venom antidote from last time. The place should have been empty, but now there is a new, identical bottle of snake venom antidote in that place.
As she studied the new bottle of snake venom antidote, her eyes sparkled.
Is it possible that the things in the pharmacy can be regenerated, and if she takes them away, they will be refilled automatically?
If so, that would be great. Just selling these herbs would be enough for their family to have food and clothes for a while.
In the kitchen of the dilapidated temple, Ms. Zhong, Yan Shuqin, Yan Shuxue and Yan Shuyun sat behind closed doors. The mother and daughters were worried about the dead dog in the basket.
Ms. Zhong looked around a few times and found that Yan Xiaosi was not there.
“Qin’er, where is your fourth brother?”
Yan Shuyun knew where Yan Xiaosi had disappeared. She quickly answered Ms. Zhong: “Mom, the fourth brother has gone to collect medicine for me.”
Ms. Zhong was relieved about Yan Xiaosi, but she was still at a loss about what to do with the dead dog in the basket.
When Yan Bowen was alive, it was Yan Bowen’s business to kill chickens and ducks. After Yan Bowen’s death, his orphans and widows had no chance to eat ducks and chickens at all, so Ms. Zhong had never cleaned any meat.
“What are you all doing?”
Their mother and daughter were in a dilemma when a deep and powerful voice sounded in the kitchen.
Yan Shuqin turned to the voice and saw that Long Hao was slowly walking toward them as he supported himself on the mud wall.
“Brother Long, you woke up. Are you feeling better?”
“Yes.”
Long Hao nodded coldly to Yan Shuqin, and then saw the dead dog curled up in the basket.
Yan Shuqin looked back at Long Hao, frowned and looked at the dead dog in the basket. “Today on the mountain, Xiaosi killed a wild dog, but we don’t know how to clean it.”
It looks like the kid must be crazy about meat. He even killed some family’s dog…
