Two black figures came outside the Earth Temple.

"Hey! Where's the mule?"

"Did you see it wrong? The two scholars didn't stop here and continued on their way?"

"That's right, my mother said that the two of them went from house to house to stay overnight. It was Aunt Zhang next door who asked them to come to Tutu Temple to spend the night."

Jiang Shuyue was awakened by the mutterings of the two people outside the door.

She slowly opened her eyes and listened to the conversation between the two people outside.

It turns out that some evil-minded villagers came to steal their mules.

Jiang Shuyue secretly murmured in her heart that it was true that the poor and the poor brought out the unruly people.

She decided to deal with the two of them.

He stood up and went to the window, looking out through the dilapidated window lattice. He saw two men holding lanterns, standing about ten feet apart and whispering.

The cold wind made both of them shrink their necks.

One of them said: "They must not have left. You see the door is closed. They must have hidden the mules."

"Let's go and take a look behind the Earth Temple."

The two of them walked back as they spoke.

At this time, Jiang Shuyue in the room had a thought and poured water from the sky, pouring it right on the heads of the two of them.

"ah!"

Two exclamations sounded.

The falling water made the two of them tremble, and the lamp was extinguished. The two dropped the lanterns in their hands and ran away holding their heads.

Through the window, Jiang Shuyue heard the sound of rolling and crawling going away outside. She turned around and got into bed to continue sleeping.

Qiu Ju was very sleepy and slept deeply. She was not awakened by the noise outside.

The next day, Qiu Ju woke up and saw that the lady had prepared hot eggs and steamed buns.

"Miss, I overslept. I dreamed that I was sleeping in a warm bed." Qiu Ju rubbed her eyes and crossed her arms, as if the remaining warmth of the quilt was still there.

Jiang Shuyue stuffed the steamed bun into her hand: "Eat quickly, as long as it's not cold. We can get to Zhuxi County today and wait until we find a place to stay."

Jiang Shuyue was sure that the Jiang family would not send anyone to chase them. The house was evacuated. For such an unbelievable thing, the cheap father couldn't think of a reason even if he tried hard. He could only blame it on someone taking care of it.

Jiang Shuyue's reasoning was very accurate. When the Shangshu Mansion got the news, Jiang Zhengming's jaw dropped.

Jiang Jiaojiao was certain that an adulterer had taken Jiang Shuyue away, and he was a poor man who didn't even let go of things in the kitchen.

After a night's rest, the mule was full of energy and energy early in the morning.

Arriving in Zhuxi County at noon, Jiang Shuyue found a pawn shop and pawned several gorgeous and exquisite dresses.

Then I took Qiu Ju to buy some sets of ordinary fine cotton dresses.

"Qiu Ju, you go to the mule cart and wait for me. I'll be right back." Jiang Shuyue pushed the package in her hand into Qiu Ju's arms, turned around and walked towards the crowd.

Jiang Shuyue walked to a deserted place, and with a thought, she ducked into the space.

She found two pieces of cloth, opened the drawer, and took out some medicinal materials.

When she opened the medicine drawer she had used, she found that it was full of medicines.

She was wildly surprised. It turned out that these things had an automatic replenishing function, which was great. She opened the drawer containing red ginseng and put a pack of red ginseng in it.

After leaving the space, Jiang Shuyue went straight to the drug store.

I asked three medical clinics in a row and the prices they gave were all different.

Jiang Shuyue didn't know the prices of medicinal materials in this era, so she had to ask passers-by if there were any larger medical clinics nearby.

I learned that there is a medical center not far away called Jimin Hall. Passers-by said that Jimin Hall has a good reputation.

When I turned around the corner, I saw a large plaque with the three characters "Jimin Hall" written on it.

There are three large gilded characters on the black background plaque with regular fonts.

The person who received Jiang Shuyue was an apprentice from Jimin Hall. The apprentice showed the medicinal materials to the old doctor who was prescribing a prescription for a patient.

The old doctor raised his head and glanced at Jiang Shuyue, and then said a few words to his apprentice.

"Master said that your medicine is of good quality and I will give you the highest price. What do you think, Master?" The apprentice set the price on the abacus.

Seeing that the price given by Jiang Shuyue was higher than the previous ones, she clicked: "Deal, I want some bits and pieces of cash."

A package of red ginseng and a package of astragalus were sold for a total of two hundred and thirty taels of silver.

With money in hand and no panic in her heart, Jiang Shuyue felt extremely happy with the heavy amount of silver in her hands.

Find a place with beautiful mountains and clear waters, spend a year of life with Qiu Ju, and quietly wait for the arrival of the little one.

She was thinking happily in her heart. At this moment, there was an exclamation outside the door of the medical center.

"The person has fainted. Take him to the hospital quickly!"

"Don't move her! Call the doctor to come and take a look."

While everyone's attention was outside the door, Jiang Shuyue covered it with her sleeves and quickly put the money into the space.

"Hey! Mom! Wake up!"

Jiang Shuyue squeezed into the crowd and saw a middle-aged woman lying on the ground, and a little boy about eight or nine years old crying and patting the woman's face.

"Everyone, please spread out. If you are too crowded together, the patient will have difficulty breathing." Jiang Shuyue waved her hand to the people surrounding her.

She knelt down and grabbed the woman's wrist.

The little boy saw that her movements were deft and neat, exuding indescribable perseverance, and he quickly stopped crying.

In the dead of winter, beads of sweat as big as soybeans on the woman's forehead slid down her temples.

"Quick! If any of you have candy, give her a piece of candy." Jiang Shuyue helped the woman up and sat up.

The old man who came out after hearing the sound said to the onlookers: "I have brown sugar water here. You can lend a hand and carry the person in."

After drinking a bowl of brown sugar water, the woman slowly woke up.

She looked at everyone with a confused face, and then looked at the child: "Nan'er, did mother faint again?"

"It was this little brother and the doctor who saved mother." The little boy had a pretty face, and he pointed at Jiang Shuyue and the old doctor.

"Thank you for your help." The woman stood up and took the little boy to salute the doctor and Jiang Shuyue.

"Madam, you don't have to be polite. It's just a small effort. You are not seriously ill. You are hungry. It was this old gentleman who saved you."

The doctor waved his hand: "It's just a bowl of brown sugar water, not worth mentioning."

The woman thanked the two again.

Just when Jiang Shuyue was about to turn around and leave.

The old doctor suddenly called her: "Excuse me, young master, where do you live? I see that you know medical skills. Can you come to Jimin Hall to see patients in the future?"

Jiang Shuyue bowed her hands: "Thank you for your appreciation, old man. I just passed by here and haven't found a place to stay yet."

Jiang Shuyue declined the old doctor's retention and strode out.

"Young lady, please stay."

"Madam, you..."

Jiang Shuyue turned around and saw the woman following with the child.

The woman looked at Jiang Shuyue and smiled gently: "Young lady, you are dressed as a man, I think there must be a reason. I just heard that you are looking for a place to stay. Are you willing to follow me to live in our village?"

Seeing Jiang Shuyue hesitate, she said again: "There is an old house in my family that is empty. If you don't mind, you can rent it to me."

"Little brother, oh no! Sister, live in our village! The scenery in our village is so beautiful. In spring, there are birds singing and flowers blooming, in summer, there are red flowers and green willows, in autumn, you can see wild geese flying south, and in winter, you can enjoy the white snow."

Jiang Shuyue was shocked by the boy's eloquence. How could he look like a country child?

This is obviously a child who has read books.

Looking at the woman again, she is dignified and quiet, and every frown and smile reveals dignity.
