After seeing off the last patient of the day, the door of Lin's Clinic was closed.
After Lin Qiming washed his hands with alcohol, he sat on the armchair with a strange look on his face.
He received 12 patients that day, more than the number of patients in the previous week. It was as if the people around him suddenly recognized that Chinese medicine, which was once regarded as oriental witchcraft, was a little incredible.
"Unfortunately, most of them are poor and don't make much money. The total amount is not even as much as the tips given by the Howlett family!"
I counted the change in the cabinet, and it was only 5 pounds and 12 shillings in total. The 5 pounds was contributed by Ars Macready, the deputy stationmaster of the North West Company at the trading station.
"Young Master, uh, brother, you shouldn't prescribe medicine for that bastard, he is an inhuman scumbag!"
Lin Xianyin habitually blurted out"Young Master". After thinking of Lin Qiming's dislike for Tianli Sect, she changed her words to"brother" somewhat unnaturally, and the tips of her ears turned red with shame.
"Several widows whose husbands had died in the residential area were forced to submit to him. Not only did this bastard force those women to serve him, he also often brought company executives who came to inspect with him.……"
She was a little embarrassed to say the latter part, because it was too embarrassing for an unmarried girl to say these words.
With Lin Xianyin's temper, if she hadn't been concerned about the identity of the deputy stationmaster of the Yars Macready Trading Station and the impact on the reputation of the clinic in the residential area, she would have chased him away with a broom.
"Xiaoxianer, both sides are willing to fight and be beaten, so let's not meddle in other people's business!"
"This is not Daxia, there is no such thing as propriety, righteousness, and shame. If you don't like him charging more medical fees in the future, just do it. We won't get involved in their affairs!"
Lin Qiming locked the change into the iron box and responded nonchalantly.
Lin Xianyin sighed, she knew it would be like this.
Forget it, if my brother really listened to me, I'm afraid the clinic would be ordered to be closed by the trading station in a few days. People have to bow their heads under the eaves!
""Brother, I heard that there will be a circus tomorrow, and it's the world-famous Royal British Circus. How about we go and see it together tomorrow?"
She blinked her big eyes after she finished speaking, her eyes full of expectation.
To be honest, even if most people in the residential area still don't believe in oriental medicine, there are a few nouveau riche who are willing to be the scapegoats. They are really not short of money, and they spend a lot of money on food, drink and entertainment every month.
Lin Xianyin is very interested in circus performances, and the Royal British Circus is the most famous circus in the world. Knowing that they are coming to Ghana for a big performance, she naturally wants to go and see it.
Lin Qiming stretched out his hand and rubbed her head, looking at the little girl lovingly and chuckled.
""Okay, okay, I'll listen to Xiao Xian'er. We'll close the shop tomorrow and go watch the circus!"
His mischievous hands were gently slapped away by Lin Xianyin, and he stamped his feet with a red face and said coquettishly
"Brother, you messed up my hair. It takes a lot of time to put it in a bun!"
She combed her messy hair with her hands, and then she put the straightened hair into a double-ring Wangxian bun. She used a black hairband to tie the long hair into two rings. A peacock hairpin was inserted in front of the bun, and a few pearl and jade hairpins were embellished on the bun like stars.
"I'm going to make dinner. Brother, please wait for a moment. Don't touch my head next time!"
After saying that, Lin Xianyin walked into the courtyard gracefully and started to work in the kitchen.
Lin Qiming watched her leave quietly, and suddenly he was a little curious about what the little girl would say.
"System, view Lin Xianyin's entry and attributes"
【Name: Lin Xianyin】
【Status: Child bride】
【Race: Human】
【Intelligence: 2】
【Strength: 3】
【Speed: 3】
【Stamina: 3】
【Energy emission: 1】
【Combat Skills: 4】
【[Own entries: Acupuncture proficiency (white), medicine proficiency (white), beauty (white), cooking proficiency (white), Emei boxing proficiency (green), hidden weapon proficiency (green), deathly infatuation (blue), Jade pot of spring water (blue)]
When Lin Qiming first saw this panel, his attention was still on the four-dimensional attributes.
She looked like a cute girl, but her strength, speed and endurance were actually higher than his initial attributes, which was really too outrageous.
But soon his eyes were attracted by the content of the entry. Ignoring the few white entries, the little girl actually had 2 green entries and 2 blue entries, which were even more amazing than the four-dimensional attributes.
You know, Lin Qiming took the opportunity to observe the patients who came for treatment today. Most of their attributes and entries were far less strong than Lin Xianyin's, and her number was not as exaggerated as hers.
"And what the hell is this Yu Hu Chun Shui? Why does it appear as a blue entry?"
Lin Qiming couldn't help but complain in his heart, and looked carefully at the entry details.
【Jade Pot Spring Water: One of the ten famous instruments. Practicing with it can strengthen both the body and the soul. If you encounter the Wheel King, they will become stronger and stronger. It is rare to encounter it.
Lin Qiming's heart moved. It is one of the ten legendary instruments.
He had read many novels about this before crossing over. How could he not know the meaning of this term? It also happened to match his own"Wheel King" term. He was excited for a while.
"No wonder her mother treated her like her own daughter since she was a child. I was always the first to get beaten when we had conflicts when we were young!"
"Maybe my mother had some secret method to see through the special things between me and the little girl, so she told me to treat her well before she died, even if I didn't marry her as my principal wife, I would take her as my concubine."
Laughing and shaking his head, Lin Qiming bolted the door and entered the courtyard.
A fragrant aroma emanated from the kitchen, and it floated into my nose from more than 10 meters away, which immediately made my mouth water and my stomach growl.
"This girl is really good at cooking. Her cooking skills are not inferior to those of a chef in a five-star hotel!"
Not long after they sat down in the restaurant, Lin Xianyin came over with several dishes with good color, fragrance and taste.
The two of them adhered to the family motto of not talking while eating and not talking while sleeping, and enjoyed the food quietly. Although many ingredients are not produced in Ghana, the little girl used similar ingredients instead, and the taste was not much worse than the original. After
Lin Qiming finished his meal, he wanted to help her clean up to enhance their relationship.
But he was chased out as soon as he entered the kitchen, and he closed the door after saying"A gentleman should stay away from the kitchen". If he hadn't seen the little girl laughing from the window, he would have thought she was angry.
The moon was in the middle of the sky, and the lights in the residential area gradually went out, and it fell silent in the night.
On a small hill in the distance, a group of robbers riding tall horses and wearing black cloths were looking at them. Their eyes were full of greed for money and contempt for the law.
""Boss Allison, how long do we have to wait? The guys are hungry!"
One of the one-eyed men urged impatiently, as if he couldn't wait to rush into the trading post and plunder. He licked his cracked lips with his tongue and rubbed the holster on his belt with his right hand.
"Alvin Callum, are you so eager to die?"
"The guards in the watchtower are not asleep yet. We will act in two hours. When they are most sleepy and unconscious, it will be the best time for us to act!"
The speaker was a strong man with a beard. He had a rough and extremely ferocious appearance. There was a scimitar-shaped burn on the end of his eyebrow, which was left by a bullet sliding against his skin during a robbery.
Under his sharp and intimidating gaze, Alvin, who had complained before, had to lower his head to show his obedience.
Time passed by minute by minute, and a dark cloud covered the moonlight.
The strong man with a beard lit a torch and took out a pocket watch. The hour and minute hands pointed to half past two.
He pinched his fingers and put them in his mouth, and blew a loud whistle, which alerted the sleepy robbers and made them look fierce like hounds rushing towards elk upon hearing the order.
"The watchdog of the trading post should be asleep, guys, let's go and take back the wealth that belongs to us!"
"But I remind you, this time we are only robbing money, don't make any extra trouble. If I know that someone dares to disobey orders and can't control the thing in his crotch, I will chop his thing off in front of everyone!"
After saying that, he waved his hand, and the robbers behind him rushed towards the trading post at the foot of the hill like wild horses.
The guard on the watchtower was sleeping soundly against the half-person-high baffle, and faintly heard a sound like thunder.
He smacked his lips and eyelids moved a few times, but he couldn't resist the heavy sleepiness, and failed to wake up in time to warn the troops stationed in the trading post.
In the dark, several figures climbed up the watchtower silently. Several people held down the guard's limbs, and another person grinned and pulled out a dagger and stabbed it into his throat fiercely.
"Ho, ho, ho,……"
The severe pain finally woke the guard up, but he could not make any sound. A large amount of blood spurted out from the blood hole in his throat, splashing all over the place.���After struggling weakly for a while, the guard was completely silent.
""Pah, you pig-like waste, your blood stinks!"
A burly robber licked the blood on the black cloth covering his face, cursed with disdain, lifted a corner of the black cloth and spat
""Don't talk nonsense, Alexander. The boss said we will meet at the vault when we are done!"
Several robbers came down from the watchtower, mounted their horses and galloped towards the vault of the trading station. The crisp sound of horse hooves broke the silence here.
Lin Qiming, who was lying on the bed and dreaming, heard his ears move, and he turned over and listened attentively.
"A group of people broke into the trading post on horseback. Judging from the sound of horse hooves, there were at least 50 people. There was a smell of blood at the outer sentry post, and it seemed that someone had died!"
"Xiao Xian'er mentioned the robbers yesterday. I didn't expect that there would be robbers tonight. Is she blessed?"
He complained in his heart, and took out the shotgun from under the bed after getting dressed.
Although it sounds like the robbers' target is the trading station, or more precisely, the vault used to store large amounts of trade cash and gold produced by gold mines in various places, who can guarantee that they will not break into the residential area and kidnap a few young girls and wives to enjoy themselves after robbing the vault?
Lin Qiming opened the door and walked towards Xiao Xian'er's room.
He knocked on the door gently with the agreed code. Not long after, Lin Xianyin came out in a nightgown and asked in a low voice with some nervousness.
"What's wrong with you, brother? What happened?"
