Upon hearing Shen Wangxin's words, a weak and delicate girl's eyes were filled with stubbornness. Although his body was so weak that a strong wind could blow him away, his back was very straight and his eyes were filled with tears. He forced himself not to fall down.
The women who were watching the scene felt their hearts ache for no reason. He immediately walked up to her and wiped his tears away and patted her back. He almost hugged her to comfort her.
"Ah Lian, this thing is too wrong. I have to say that Shen Family is too ruthless. Xin has been saved for so many days, but the mother didn't even show her face."
"Xin is right, why would you want to casually grind her after saving her life? "Forget about cats and dogs. She is a good girl after all. Does she really think that she is inhumane?
Shen Wangxin's encounter reminded them of when they had just married into their husband's family. In this era, how many grandmothers were good? It had been difficult for him to have a wife for so many years, but now he was finally able to catch a young girl.
Aunt Lian was a widow to begin with. If she hadn't been a high-spirited person, she would have been bullied to death by now.
Thus, it was more important to put his pride on the line.
In the past, when the villagers mentioned her, which one of them didn't give a thumbs up in praise? But now, looking at how everyone was looking at her, she still pointed at her, ashamed to the point that she couldn't say a word. She pulled Hei Zi into the house with a calm face.
The door was locked with a bang. It was obvious that Shen Wangxin was not welcome to enter. Fortunately, Shen Wangxin had nothing, only her clothes, and nothing else.
When it was almost lunch time and the women found her pitiful, they pulled her over to their house for lunch. Finally, she had a hearty meal.
"Xin, it's not that the aunts are blabbering. The five taels of silver that A-Lian asked for was not a small sum. Where did a little girl like you get the money to pay her back? Why don't we go back to Shen Family and ask for it? "
The others also nodded in agreement. Although they sympathized with Shen Wangxin, they couldn't possibly come up with the means to help her.
Shen Wangxin shook her head and said, "If they really had me in their hearts, they would have come to see me a long time ago. Not to mention that I'm in debt to them for five taels of silver."
What she said was also the truth. The women looked at each other for a moment, unable to think of how to comfort her.
Shen Wangxin also did not plan to stay in their home for long. Seeing that she had been left to eat, some people started to make faces at her. Shen Wangxin didn't say anything more and headed out of the village under the sun, all by herself.
There were three sides of the mountain surrounded by Xitou Village and there should be quite a few good things on top of the mountain.
Other people might think that the things on this mountain were ordinary and nothing special, but she studied Chinese medicine and knew which things could be sold for a good price. If he wanted to earn five taels of silver as soon as possible, he would have to go up the mountain and see if he could gather some medicinal herbs to sell in the county city.
There was only one road in the Xitou Village Center, and it was the perfect time to eat. All the workers had returned, and many people were looking at her along the way.
Everyone in the village knew Shen Wangxin, even some of them didn't. Not long ago, when she was thrown out in a mat wrapped in grass by Shen Family, she heard about her name. The villagers all thought that she was definitely going to die, but after a few days, they saw her safely appear in the village, and they all looked at her from afar.
But she only watched, and no one came forward to talk to her.
Shen Wangxin sighed. Was the original owner's relationship in the village that bad? Even when she had managed to escape death, no one had come close to ask her how she was?
However, after some thought, no one came up to ask. She didn't have much of an impression of the original owner's past. Talking to others would expose her. At that time, if someone suspected him of being possessed and invited a Daoist to help him dispel the evil, then he would no longer be a fun person.
Shen Wangxin walked for a while and saw a few idle men gathered under a big banyan tree at the village entrance, chatting. Perhaps they were too engrossed in their conversation, and didn't really care about Shen Wangxin's appearance.
She walked closer and faintly heard county magistrate's youngest son suffering from an emergency. He had invited many doctors who were unable to cure him, causing Sir county magistrate to rush to and fro. The magistrate court even specially posted a list outside saying that whoever could cure his youngest son would be heavily rewarded.
Hearing these words, Shen Wangxin couldn't help but stop her steps and ask, "Do you know what symptoms young master of the Wu family has?"
While they were happily chatting, they didn't notice that a crisp voice had suddenly appeared.
"I don't know what the reason is, but young master will always cry at night. A child that was not even a year old asked him where he felt uncomfortable and was unable to speak. All the doctors in the county had already asked him to do so. Some say it's a child's abdominal pain, some say it's a fire in the heart, and there's no way to explain it. Even after taking a few sets of medicine, it's still not good. "
As the man finished speaking, he suddenly regained his senses and saw a girl standing beside him. He could not help but laugh: "Oh, isn't this the second girl from Shen Family? A few days ago, I heard that you were going to die from illness.
Shen Wangxin thought back to what she had just heard. A child under the age of one cried for no reason. Usually, it was to relieve pain or to relieve the fire and calm the mind. If these two methods were ineffective, the child would probably be shocked.
But this was only her deduction. The real conclusion needed to be reached before the patient could confirm it by looking, hearing, asking, and cutting.
Shen Wangxin was confident in her ability to treat children's illnesses.
Before she had even worn it, her uncle had been an expert in this field. He had also acquired a lot of essence from his daily life. It was a pity that he had just graduated, and before he had the time to determine the direction of his specialization, he was already in this godforsaken place.
After a short while, Shen Wangxin made up her mind to show it to young master of the Wu family.
However, he was just a little girl. If he didn't show some ability, he might not even be able to get through the door of county magistrate's house.
"It's almost done." Without time to think, Shen Wangxin already had an idea. She raised her head and asked the others, "I just heard some noises from the village. Did they say that Lei Yi went to the tree on the other side of the mountain last night?"
When the few of them saw that not only did she not reply, but instead asked them another question, they couldn't help but feel somewhat surprised. In the past, this little girl was like a stuffy calabash, knocking on the door for a long time before finally being able to speak. But today, she actually took the initiative to talk to them. It was truly a rare occurrence!
But as surprised as they were, they still answered truthfully.
This morning, when they went up the mountain, they did indeed see a big tree on the other side of the mountain. The bigger trees had all been dragged by the villagers back home to make wood.
This was simply like drinking water when one was thirsty, or handing out pillows when one was sleepy!
A smile appeared on Shen Wangxin's face. She immediately bade farewell to the few of them and headed to the opposite mountain.
As soon as Shen Wangxin heard the word 'thunderbolt', she immediately felt reassured. In the past, she had heard her say that lightning strikes were extremely potent and had a miraculous effect when used to treat people who suffered from shock. Back then, she was a firm defender of atheism, so she naturally disdained such claims. However, now that the matter of soul piercing had already happened to her, she would be a fool if she didn't believe it now.
Since that was the case, he might as well use this lightning bolt to knock on the door!
It would be nice if it would be useful, but it would also be helpful for young master's illness. If she didn't use her medical skills, she was confident that she would be able to cure young master's illness.
