Chapter 78: There Was a Result

But he refused, and Jiang Nian wouldn’t give what she shouldn’t.

Besides, it wasn’t coming out of her pocket. The man on the bed didn’t look like a poor man, and she could charge more for the medical expenses. At least she wouldn’t be losing money.

This was just a self-deprecating thought. She wouldn’t actually lose money. After all, only a few people were greedy. Most people were honest and would pay with goods if they didn’t have enough money. She couldn’t refuse.

As for those who clearly wanted to take advantage of her, they could learn from Zhou Shugen.

If they wanted to take advantage of her, they had to be brave enough to face the consequences.

Jiang Nian was still talking to Zhang Er, asking him to stay for another night. With the injured man in the house, no one could watch over him. What if something happened at night and no one knew?

Zhang Er naturally agreed without any hesitation.

Just then, a car stopped outside the courtyard, unable to enter because the gate was too small.

Several people in white coats got out of the car, carrying a stretcher.

Ye Zhiqiu ran in from outside, flustered. “Teacher, they said Director Qi sent them to pick him up. They also paid the medical expenses.”

It was exactly 500 yuan, handed over to her.

The man in the lead said, “You must be the famous Dr. Jiang, the miracle doctor. Director Qi sent us to pick him up. He also said that if you’re willing, the doors of our city hospital are always open to you.”

“I’m not a miracle doctor. It’s just a nickname the villagers gave me. Thank your director for his kindness. I still prefer the simple life in the countryside. I won’t go and take up your resources.” Jiang Nian took the money, which meant she agreed to let them take the man away.

After a moment of thought, she added, “He just got his life back. I’ll put some medicine on him again. It’s better to be safe than sorry. He might not make it to your hospital.” It was hard to save him, and he was so valuable. It would be a pity if he died.

She said she was putting medicine on him, but it wasn’t actually time yet.

She was just using this opportunity to transfer her internal energy into his body to nourish it and help his wounds heal later.

Jiang Nian’s unique internal energy was different from other internal energies. It was a family secret, used to assist in treatment.

The Poison Doctor Valley was originally the Medicine King Valley. But later, a lovesick man, she couldn’t remember which ancestor it was, defied the world and married her ancestor, who was famous for her poison skills. From then on, they lived in seclusion in the mountains, and the Medicine King Valley was known to the world as the Poison Doctor Valley.

Her ancestor thought the name was good, so it continued until her generation, when it was discontinued!

She wondered if she would be beaten up by her ancestors when she met them in the underworld someday.

…

In a daze, Song Yanbai felt a warm force flowing into his body, bringing a touch of comfort to his aching body.

He wanted to get closer to that comfortable heat source, but he found that he couldn’t move at all.

He tried to open his eyelids, but he could only see a blurry figure.

The scent of medicine filled his nostrils again. He seemed to have smelled it somewhere before, but he couldn’t remember.

A moment later, when Jiang Nian stood up, if anyone had been paying close attention, they would have noticed that her lips were slightly pale compared to before.

Ye Zhiqiu knew about this and wanted to help her, but Jiang Nian waved her hand to refuse.

“You can take him away. Besides the chest wound, he also has signs of a blow to the back of his head. You can pay more attention to that later.”

Watching the man being carried onto the ambulance, Jiang Nian lazily sat down on a chair.

“Let’s make some delicious dinner. We’re all tired. We need to replenish our energy.” She needed to replenish her energy even more.

She hadn’t achieved her goal at all, but at least she hadn’t done a good deed in vain this time. That was some consolation.

Ye Zhiqiu didn’t know if she was feeling heavy-hearted or thinking too much, but she sighed repeatedly at such a young age. “Master, I think the person you saved this time is not an ordinary person. Director Qi shouldn’t take credit for it, should he?”

Jiang Nian burst out laughing. “Where do you get these strange ideas at such a young age? Besides, the medical expenses have already been paid. Are you expecting him to know that I saved him and pay for the medicine again?”

“No, not really,” Ye Zhiqiu scratched her head and laughed along. “Master, what do you want to eat? I’ve learned a few new dishes recently. I’ll cook them for you.”

“Try anything with ingredients. We’re not short of money today. Don’t be stingy.” It was just an excuse. She never seemed to be stingy.

There was plenty of meat in her space, but she was tired and didn’t want to go out again.

Fortunately, it was cold outside, and everything had already frozen. The meat hanging from the eaves had frozen into ice lumps, so it wouldn’t spoil.

She could control the flow of time in certain areas of her space to prevent items from spoiling and herbs from losing their potency over time.

Jiang Nian had never thought about making money by selling wild game. After all, with her wealth and abilities, she didn’t need to focus on making money.

But a mountain of meat piled up in her space was a bit of an eyesore.

Li Rui, the freeloader, came over at dinnertime. As soon as he entered the courtyard, the aroma of food filled the air, making his mouth water.

“You guys are really living the good life, enjoying life. I’m just barely hanging on.”

Ye Zhiqiu laughed. “No wonder Master says you have a good nose. You come whenever there’s good food.”

“Don’t say that. I always have business when I come. Besides, I brought you some duck eggs. You make so much food, you can’t finish it all. It’s a waste to throw it away. It’s better to throw it in my mouth. I don’t mind.” Li Rui joked.

He wasn’t lying. He had bought all the duck eggs this winter. He even had two jars of salted duck eggs pickled in his jar. Of course, he kept one jar for himself.

“By the way, where’s your teacher? I have something important to talk to her about.”

“She’s in the house. She saved a seriously injured person today. She’s exhausted and just resting.”

Li Rui had heard about what happened today. After all, in this small village, everyone gossips about everything. There are no secrets.

“Then let her rest. I’m not in a hurry. We can talk while we eat later.” Li Rui said as he went into the kitchen to see what they were doing. When he saw the pancakes stuck to the side of the pot, he said without hesitation, “Make a few more. I haven’t tasted Little Zhiqiu’s cooking in a long time. The food I make myself makes my stomach churn. I was thinking about coming to your teacher to get a couple of prescriptions to cure my stomach.”

“It’s not that serious.” Ye Zhiqiu was used to his flippant and exaggerated tone and didn’t believe him at all.

Jiang Nian hadn’t actually been asleep. She was just tired and had nothing to do, so she lay down for a while.

When she heard Li Rui’s voice, she came out.

Although they were about the same age, she was an elder in front of Ye Zhiqiu because of their master-apprentice relationship. She was a doctor in front of Zhang Er. Only Li Rui, who seemed carefree, could be considered a friend.

“What brings the famous writer Li to my humble abode?”

Li Rui had been in the limelight recently. He had become a household name with two articles.

Only in this small mountain village, where no one was literate, did people not pay attention to this. In the big cities, those educated and cultured women admired him greatly.

Of course, his name in the newspaper wasn’t his real name, but a pen name.

But no matter what, it represented his fearless and outspoken thoughts.

When Li Rui heard Jiang Nian’s voice, he walked with a spring in his step.

He held a newspaper in his hand and approached Jiang Nian. “My great Dr. Jiang, take a look at this.”

Jiang Nian took the newspaper and turned to the main room.

The main room was divided into two sections. The right side was the bedroom, with a curtain in the middle. The room facing the door was the living room.

Country houses were all designed this way. It was inconvenient to have separate rooms for ventilation and lighting.

When she sat down and finished reading the content of the newspaper, her cold face softened slightly. She gave Li Rui a thumbs-up. “Li, the writer who champions women, your title is well-deserved. As a woman, I want to thank you on behalf of all the rural women.”

“You’re welcome. Just treat me to good food and drink.” He said jokingly.

Li Rui had published two articles. The second one was commissioned by the Women’s Federation. But the most famous one was the first article, which spoke out for rural women. After months of back-and-forth and meetings, it finally came to a conclusion.
