Chapter 22

The stars filled the sky.

This midsummer day was particularly long.

The green hawthorn fruit on the trees were slowly dyed red by the night breeze.

Babies always get hungry very quickly.

They need to get up several times a night to drink milk.

When Qin Luoxia was feeding milk, she would also go check on the other two children.

Jiang Mianmian was sometimes dazed while drinking milk, and other times wide awake.

It couldn't be helped, babies sleep a lot during the day, so it's normal for them to wake up at night.

It felt like it was almost midnight now, without a watch or clock, she didn't know what time it was, just that it was very quiet outside.

Other than the sound of insects, there were no other noises.

Perhaps because he had drunk meat soup tonight, Jiang Changtian seemed to be sleeping better, without bursts of coughing.

Otherwise, he would lightly cough once or twice.

Jiang Mianmian went with her mother to see her sister.

Jiang Yu didn't sleep very well, sprawled all over, with her head against the corner of the bed, as if she might crawl away at any moment...

Qin Luoxia held Jiang Mianmian in one hand, and with the other pushed Jiang Yu to the middle and covered her with a blanket.

The blankets in the house were quite nice looking, a bit like hemp cloth, made by patching together various old fabrics.

Purely handmade.

She remembered this kind of purely hand-sewn cloth could sell for over 100 yuan for the size of an A4 sheet of paper, a whole blanket would be amazing...

One was to pursue that kind of simple beauty.

He wasn't a doctor, just working under the county magistrate's subordinates.

He was just an odd-job worker, an odd-job worker for the county magistrate's odd-job workers.

Looking after the herbs collected from the surrounding areas, selecting the best, then sending them to the prefecture city, the prefecture city sending them to the capital, the capital sending them into the imperial palace.

Supposedly there was a noble person whose health wasn't good, needing medicine to maintain it.

Of course this was too distant.

Jiang Changtian was just the lowest link in the entire supply chain.

Just making a living here.

He was a very smart person, while others just got by, he didn't give up on learning.

Even if he was just receiving herbs and guarding the door, he earnestly studied the uses of all kinds of herbs, he could discern with them in hand whether the herbs were good or not, their year, he could also estimate it.

But this was still different from an actual doctor, at most he could be considered half an apothecary.

Seeing Feng had already developed a high fever and lost consciousness, his heart sank like a plumb line, endlessly dropping.

Jiang Changtian's hands shook, he strongly suppressed his urge to cough, his face also flushed red.

"It's fine, it's fine, he took medicine last night, that medicine treated the symptoms, last night he was fine, today will definitely also be fine." Jiang Changtian repeatedly consoled.

"Luoxia, go fetch a basin of cold water."

As Jiang Changtian directed, he undid his son's clothes.

Undoing the clothes, he discovered his son's body actually had many large and small scars.

Only the wound on his head that bled was very obvious.

He hadn't made a sound about the other injuries.

Jiang Changtian opened his mouth wide, desperately holding back his tears from falling.

Now was not the time to cry, he could not cry.
