Chapter 894 Doctor Zhao

Time flies, and Shi Jia has lived in Hejia Village for two months.

The sun was rising that day, and the sky was full of rays of light. On the hillside at the end of Hejia Village, there was a thatched house shaded by tall trees. In front of the thatched house, there was a fenced yard full of flowers and plants.

At this time, a woman in blue coarse cloth was watering the flowers with a bamboo sprinkler. The morning glow reflected on her body as if she was wearing a golden gauze dress, beautiful as a dream.

The chirping of insects and birds in the trees, accompanied by the breeze in the forest, composed a cheerful piece of music.

Suddenly, the birds in the forest seemed to be frightened by something and scattered in all directions.

Shi Jia looked over in surprise and saw two brothers holding a basket and supporting each other. She put down the bamboo shower, walked to the gate of the yard, opened the bamboo fence, and asked in confusion, "Second Brother He, Master He, why are you here? Is Second Brother He ill?"

He Zhensheng quickly waved his hands, "No, my body has recovered very well, and now I don't limp when I walk anymore, thanks to Doctor Zhao." After he said that, he bowed to Shi Jia.

Shi Jia quickly helped He Zhensheng up, "You're welcome, Brother He. Since I came to Hejia Village, I have received a lot of help from you. If I have to thank you, it should be me who should thank you."

He Zhensheng was at a loss.

"Doctor Zhao, you don't have to be so modest. We will always remember your kindness in saving my brother's life." He Zhenyuan handed the basket to Shi Jia with both hands. "It's just that our family is not well-off, so we can only prepare some small gifts as best we can. I hope Doctor Zhao won't despise it."

Shi Jia looked over and saw that the red cloth covering the basket had bulged up a corner, revealing a silver-white object. This gift was not small for He Lizheng's family.

Shi Jia hesitated for a moment, but still reached out to take it, "Thank you very much."

Seeing Shi Jia accept the gift, He Zhensheng breathed a sigh of relief and smiled, while He Zhenyuan's expression remained unchanged.

Shi Jia examined He Zhensheng's body again and gave him acupuncture on his left leg. "For the next ten days, come for acupuncture every three days. After ten days, you should be able to walk normally again."

"Thank you very much, Doctor Zhao, the great doctor." He Zhensheng was pleasantly surprised. He thought he would need to recuperate for another month or two!

"I don't deserve the title of miracle doctor." Shi Jia said casually.

But Zhao Zhenyuan saw her confidence and arrogance. She had the ability of a miracle doctor.

"Oh, Zhensheng and Zhenyuan are here too." A slightly sharp female voice came, and Shi Jia frowned and looked back.

Two familiar people appeared in the yard. They were Shi Jia's savior He Tiesheng and his mother Liu.

Well, there were many intermarriages between Hejiacun and Liujiacun, so there are many Lius in Hejiacun.

"Auntie and brother Tiesheng are here." Although he and Tiesheng look tall, strong and mature, they are actually younger than Zhao Wenwen and are not even twenty years old.

"Since Doctor Zhao has something to do, we'll go back first." He Zhenyuan knew that there were some unpleasant things between the two parties, so when he saw the two of them coming, he was about to say goodbye.

He Zhensheng also stood up upon hearing this, and said a little embarrassedly, "Um... my wife is not feeling well and feels a little uncomfortable today. I wonder if we can ask Doctor Zhao to come down the mountain..."

Shi Jia nodded, "No problem, I'll go down the mountain after I'm done."

"Thank you very much." He Zhensheng bowed repeatedly to express his gratitude, and then left reluctantly while being pulled by his third brother.

Shi Jia looked at Liu and He Tiesheng. "Auntie, do you need me for something? Are you feeling unwell?"

"Puh, puh, puh!" Liu spat on the ground, which made Shi Jia frown.

"I'm in good health, please don't curse me." Liu said dissatisfiedly.

"Then you guys..." Shi Jia looked at He Tiesheng.

Liu said hurriedly, "Tie Sheng is in great shape."

Shi Jia opened his mouth to speak, but Liu interrupted him, "Girl Zhao, what do you think about what we talked about a few days ago? In my opinion, no matter how powerful a woman is, she needs someone to rely on." "Look, our Tiesheng is the best in terms of appearance and ability, and the most important thing is that he is caring..." Liu spoke eloquently, and He Tiesheng blushed with embarrassment.

Shi Jia remained silent and waited for Liu to finish her words.

"...So, if you want to marry someone, you have to marry someone like Tie Sheng from my family." Liu looked at her and said, "Girl Zhao, if you have no objection, I will ask a matchmaker to come to your house and propose marriage."

"Wait!" Shi Jia was shocked. What did she say? Why didn't she have any objection? She said seriously, "Auntie, I don't agree. I never said I wanted to marry you or Tie Sheng."

Her voice was not loud, but it was firm and decisive, and every word struck the heart of the listeners.

He Tiesheng's eyes immediately turned red. He turned around and tried to leave, but his mother grabbed him and said, "Girl Zhao! You are not the kind of person who would cross a river and then destroy the bridge! If it weren't for my Tiesheng, you would have been washed away and died somewhere."

That won’t happen!

"No one is as ungrateful as you!" After saying that, Liu pulled He Tiesheng and turned away, leaving Shi Jia, whose face was disheveled in the wind.

Is she ungrateful?

Shi Jia couldn't understand Liu's train of thought, so he didn't think about it. He went into the house to pack up his medical box. When he left, he saw the gifts sent by the He brothers, walked over again, and opened the red cloth. Two ingots of 10 taels of silver, a jar of wine, a portion of cakes, and five fruits filled the basket to the brim.

She took out two ingots of silver, wrapped them in red cloth, and put them in her arms. Then she closed the door and went down the mountain.

Fang's intention was good, of course, it was also because Shi Jia often took care of her. After leaving the headman's house, Shi Jia did not go back to the mountain directly, but walked towards the other side of Hejia Village.

"Doctor Zhao, you've come down the mountain again to treat Zhensheng." The villagers passing by greeted Shi Jia very kindly.

"Doctor Zhao, thank you so much. Ever since you gave me the acupuncture, my mother's back pain has almost never come back." A villager expressed his sincere gratitude.

"Doctor Zhao, I was just about to go up the mountain to see you. Look, the old hens at home have laid a lot of eggs in the past two days. I kept them all and prepared to give them to you." An auntie came out with a basket and was overjoyed when she saw Shi Jia.

Shi Jia tried to refuse quickly, but he couldn't resist the enthusiasm of the aunts.

Not long after, Shi Jia had two baskets hanging on his body, which were full of vegetables and eggs, and he was holding two big fat fish in his hands.

Alas, this is why she doesn't like going down the mountain, the villagers are too enthusiastic. Shi Jia looked at He Tiesheng's house not far away, then looked at the pile of things on her body, shook her head, and could only go back to put the things away first.

When she reached the halfway point of the mountain, Shi Jia looked around and saw that there was no one around, so she stuffed everything in her hand into the planting space. Yes, she was able to use the planting space, but because this was just an ordinary ancient world, the crops produced in this world could only be eaten by herself.

She packed up her things and went down the mountain again, but this time she had learned her lesson and walked away avoiding people. Soon she arrived at He Tiesheng's house.

"Dong Dong~"

"Who is it?" Liu's cursing voice came from inside, and it was obvious that she was still angry. She opened the door and her face changed, and she closed the door directly.

But can Shi Jia let her turn it off?

She held the door with one hand and took out two silver ingots with the other. "Auntie, thank you for taking me in before, and thank you He Tiesheng for saving me. This is my thank you gift. Please accept it."

"Hmph! You want to get rid of me with just a little silver..." When Liu found out that there were 20 taels of silver in her hand, she was so shocked that she was speechless.

Shi Jia smiled and said, "Then I won't bother you anymore." She closed the door.

20 taels is not a lot, but it is a huge sum of money for the villagers.

She originally thought of leaving once she had raised enough money. After all, she still had a mission to complete, so she couldn't stay here forever, right?

But after Liu and He Tiesheng caused trouble today, she had no choice but to change her mind.
