A genius girl with her own space

Chapter 148 Salesman

"Qiqi, I feel the same way, I don't know what's going on."

"Brother Jingze, did we know each other in our previous life? Oh, don't think about it, let's just live a good life in this life."

Qiqi felt sleepy and fell asleep with her head tilted on Zhou Jingze's body.

Zhou Jingze carried Qiqi back to the room, took off her coat, and covered her with a blanket. Qiqi was too tired these days.

At daybreak, Qiqi and the others boarded a horse-drawn carriage and headed for the peddler's house. They soon arrived at the village where the peddler lived.

As soon as they arrived outside the village, they heard someone crying, "Doctor, please save my mother. She has chest pains and has fainted." A woman's crying was heard.

Qiqi quickly stood up. Zhou Jingze, knowing that Qiqi wanted to go and take a look, got out of the car first and held Qiqi in his arms. Yun Jizi and his mistress also got out of the car.

Qiqi walked towards the source of the crying. A few villagers were watching from the doorway. They also shook their heads and sighed. The heart was not good and the doctor could not cure it. What should they do?

Qiqi heard their conversation and walked over quickly. "Move aside, I'll go in and take a look." The villagers, overwhelmed by Qiqi and her companions' presence, automatically moved aside. Qiqi quickly entered the courtyard. An old man lay on a recliner in the courtyard, stroking his chest with one hand, struggling to breathe. A woman supported the old man, pleading with a doctor.

"Doctor, I've called all the doctors here to see my mother. None of them will treat her. Please prescribe some medicine for my mother, just to make her feel better."

"Girl, it's not that I don't want to prescribe medicine for your mother, it's that your mother's illness is too serious and I can't do anything about it. I prescribed the medicine, but it didn't work for your mother, so you've wasted your money. You should keep the money to buy some delicious food for your mother." The doctor said with a sigh.

The doctor had no choice but to take out some Chinese medicine for the girl. "These are Danshen herbs. I don't want any money for them. You can boil some for your mother and drink it. If you want to feel better, come back to me. This is enough for two doses, so you can drink it for two days."

Qiqi listened to the doctor's words and nodded. He was a doctor with a conscience.

"Little girl, I'm a doctor. I'm here to check on the old man."

The little girl saw Qiqi dressed in luxurious clothes and took the initiative to treat her mother. She was grateful and quickly brought a small stool for Qiqi to sit down.

Qiqi sat down and felt the old man's pulse. He had heart disease, myocardial ischemia. In this era, it's called stasis, cold, dampness, phlegm and blood stasis blocking the heart.

Qiqi took out the silver needles and began to give the old man acupuncture. She used the four acupuncture points of Neiguan, Tanzhong, Baihui, and Shenmen. Soon the old man recovered and no longer had to press hard on the heart area.

Seeing her mother's pain was gone, the little girl bowed to Qiqi gratefully. "Thank you, doctor. Thank you, doctor."

Qiqi took out another pill and gave it to the old man, then took out a bottle of spiritual spring water and asked him to drink it. The old man sat up and took it with both hands. He put the pill into his mouth, washed it down with the spiritual spring water Qiqi had given him, and then drank half of the bottle. Soon, the old man felt lighter, and the pain in his chest and the stuffiness were gone.

"Thank you, doctor, for treating me, an old woman."

"Old man, you and I are destined to meet. It is our duty as medical students to provide medical treatment." Qiqi said.

"Thank you, doctor, for saving my mother."

"You can prepare the Chinese medicine the doctor gave you for your mother, twice a day." Qiqi said.

When the doctor saw that the girl's mother was much better, he admired Qiqi very much.

"Little girl, I'm here to look for a traveling peddler. Do you know where he lives in your village?" Qiqi asked.

"Traveling peddler, are you talking about my uncle Bai? He is the one who goes out to buy things in this village." said the little girl.

"Is your brother Shubai here? I want to ask him some questions. Can you take me there?" Qiqi said.

"Go and call your brother to our house. Your brother has just recovered from his illness and should not have gone out to sell things. I want to talk to my benefactor for a while." The old man said to his daughter.

"Okay, mother, I'll go call my brother right away."

After a while, I heard, "Who's looking for me? What do you want from me?"

"I'm looking for you."

"Ah, it's the Crown Princess who came to see me. May the Crown Princess live long and long, and may the Crown Prince live long and long." The peddler knelt down and kowtowed.

The old woman was surprised to see her nephew kneeling down and calling the doctor the Crown Princess. It was the Crown Princess who saved her. This was truly a blessing from heaven. The Crown Princess was a miracle doctor.

The old man, his daughter and neighbors all knelt down to pay their respects to the Crown Prince and the Crown Princess.

Qiqi quickly asked them to get up and asked the peddler, "Do you know where you contracted the disease?"

"I went to a market in Zhao State to purchase goods. I don't know where I got infected. I just know that there were a lot of people coughing in that market. The last time I went there, I had symptoms of coughing, so you took me there for treatment. After I came back, I haven't been there again. I was afraid that the people there hadn't been cured, and I would get infected again when I went there to purchase goods." The peddler replied.

"You tell me where the market is. We'll go there ourselves."

"Princess, I'll take you there. With you around, I won't be afraid of being infected."

"Well, take us there, old man. We don't have to worry about your illness. You won't feel any worse. We're leaving now. Take care of yourself."

"Farewell to the Crown Prince and the Crown Princess."

They soon reached the border of Zhao State. They arrived at the market. Qiqi asked everyone to wear masks.

They arrived at the market and saw that it was quiet and there was no one inside. There was only a man squatting on the ground at the entrance, looking listless.

Qiqi and the others retreated, came to the gate, and asked the person squatting on the ground.

"Hello, where are the people from your market? Where are they going? Aren't they selling anything anymore?"

"You're not from here, are you? They're all sick, and many have died. The Emperor of Zhao sent imperial doctors, but they were also infected with the disease, and they couldn't cure it at all. The Emperor of Zhao sent people to lock up all the sick people. We don't know what's going on inside now."

Many of my relatives are locked up, and I'm worried. My home is in Dazhou, and my family is all there. I'm afraid I'll get sick and infect them if I go back. So I'm staying here.

Yun Jizi stepped forward, felt the man's pulse, and told Qiqi, "He is not infected."

Qiqi was worried, so she gave him a pill and watched him eat it. "Can you take me to where they are being held?"

"I don't know where they are being held. Only the government knows, because they're afraid we'll cause trouble. No one, the common people, knows."

"Do you know how it was transmitted? Did the imperial physician say anything?" Qiqi asked.

"I heard them say it was an epidemic."

"Can you tell me in detail?" Qiqi asked.
