A sickly fellow ridiculed by the entire army? I'll be the most beautiful woman in the barracks!

The barefoot doctor first checked the woman's forehead temperature, raised an eyebrow, and then immediately began to take her pulse.

A moment later, the barefoot doctor looked surprised and turned to look at the medicine bottle in Shen Qingci's hand, his eyes shining.

"My lord, may I ask what kind of medicine this is? It is so miraculous that in just a quarter of an hour, the coldness in this woman's body has been completely suppressed."

Zhao Daxuan smiled and took the medicine bottle back from Shen Qingci. Actually, he hadn't looked at it closely, but the barefoot doctor asked him about it, so he looked at it out of curiosity.

The medicine bottle had three large red characters on it: "Antipyretic Pill." On the back, there was a line of smaller print listing the main ingredients, which he couldn't understand. However, one of them was "Ibuprofen," which he recognized!

Zhao Daxuan didn't know how to explain what kind of medicine it was, so he handed the medicine bottle to the barefoot doctor.

"Doctor, you should take a look at it yourself."

The doctor took the medicine bottle and examined it for a long time. He could understand the three characters "antipyretic pill" at the front, but he didn't recognize any of the main ingredients.

After a moment, he reluctantly handed it back to Zhao Daxuan, and said with emotion, "It seems there are quite a few talented people in this world. They can even develop such a miraculous medicine, and the prescription is clearly written on it."

He sighed softly, "Alas, it's a pity that I am too ignorant to recognize what these medicinal herbs are..."

"Perhaps my senior brother, who has traveled the world and exchanged ideas with many famous doctors over the years, knows something about it. I should have him come and take a look when I have the chance."

Zhao Daxuan chuckled inwardly. These medicinal ingredients only appeared in his previous life and modern times. It would be strange if this barefoot doctor could understand them.

As for whether his senior brother could understand a thing or two, Zhao Daxuan didn't believe it either, unless the other party had also transmigrated like him.

"Doctor, is my mother alright?"

Niu Niu asked from the side.

The barefoot doctor smiled. "Don't worry, this pill is incredibly effective. The cold poison in your mother's body has been completely suppressed!"

"Then I will prescribe another dose of medicine for your mother to take for two days to recover her strength."

Upon hearing that her mother was out of danger, Niu Niu couldn't help but grin and thank the barefoot doctor repeatedly.

The barefoot doctor waved his hand, "No need to be so polite, it was mainly Lord Zhao's pills that worked."

"My lord, I will go and find some medicine, but one or two of the ingredients will need to be found again. I don't know if we can find them in this desolate wilderness."

The barefoot doctor turned to look at Zhao Daxuan. The medicinal herbs he wanted to prescribe were not rare, and he had already collected some of them himself during this period.

However, one or two of the medicinal herbs still need to be found. It seems it won't be quick.

Zhao Daxuan recalled that there were many medicinal herbs among the Tartar tribes that had been wiped out a few days ago.

"Doctor, I have quite a few medicinal herbs in my camp. I'll have someone take you there to see if there's anything we can use."

The barefoot doctor nodded repeatedly upon hearing this, "That's excellent!"

Zhao Daxuan then ordered his soldiers to take the barefoot doctor to the place where the medicinal herbs were stored to see if there were any suitable ones.

No sooner had the barefoot doctor left than Zhao Daxuan watched him go, and then he heard Niu Niu's delighted voice behind him.

"Mother, you're finally awake!"

Zhao Daxuan and the others turned their heads and saw the woman on the bed slowly wake up, opening her hazy eyes, not quite coming to her senses for a moment.

"Who are you...?"

Zhao Daxuan smiled gently. "Sister-in-law, we've met before. I'm Zhao Daxuan."

The woman on the straw mat was taken aback upon hearing this. She looked closely and, after recognizing Zhao Daxuan's face, was startled. She tried to get up and bow.

"grown ups…"

Zhao Daxuan quickly reached out and pressed her hand, saying, "Sister-in-law, there's no need for such formalities. Please lie down and rest."

Shen Qingci also stepped forward and gently pressed down on the woman, allowing her to lie down and rest again.

The woman then lay back down comfortably.

Niu Niu stepped forward and took the woman's hand. "Mom, it's lucky that Uncle helped me today, otherwise my porridge would have been stolen by bad people."

"Also, your uncle called a doctor to treat you! Your uncle is very skilled; he made you better with just one pill."

Niu Niu quietly recounted everything that had happened that day, and the woman listened with a moved expression.

"Thank you so much, sir and madam. I have no way to repay you..."

Zhao Daxuan waved his hand, "Sister-in-law, didn't you already receive the fifty taels of compensation? How did you end up in this situation?"

Zhao Daxuan couldn't help but ask the question that had been bothering him. He had to get to the bottom of this; he felt there was definitely something wrong with it.

If there's anything fishy going on, he won't let anyone off the hook.

Upon hearing this, Yunniang's face turned bitter. She remained silent for a long time, opening her mouth briefly before closing it again.

Seeing her like this, Zhao Daxuan became even more certain that there must be something fishy going on.

"Sister-in-law, please speak frankly. I will have someone arrange new accommodations for you today, and I will never let anyone bully you and your child again!"

Zhao Daxuan said coldly, "Anyone who dares to bully the orphans of martyrs in my army will not be spared."

Zhao Daxuan could not allow those who bullied the orphans of martyrs to continue to go unpunished; otherwise, how could he give his soldiers an explanation?

Seeing that Zhao Daxuan was backing her up, Yunniang felt a little bolder and slowly recounted what had happened.

"Sir, your fifty taels of compensation has indeed been delivered to my mother and me. I was overjoyed when I first received it."

"I originally planned to move to the city after my husband's funeral, but the next day, my former fellow villagers somehow found out that I had fifty taels of compensation."

"So they came to our door to borrow money for several days in a row. When I refused, they kept pestering and even threatened my mother and me."

Upon hearing this, Shen Qingci was already furious, gritting her teeth, "This is outrageous! Is there no law anymore?"

Zhao Daxuan's gaze grew even colder. "And then?"

"After being pestered for two days, I had no choice but to lend five taels of silver... But who knew that it would have been better if I hadn't lent it, because after I lent it, even more people came to my door asking for money."

Yunniang's face grew increasingly bitter. "I had no choice. My husband's remains hadn't even been buried yet, so I hurriedly took Niu Niu and tried to get into the city to avoid them."

"But who knew that I had just finished packing my things and walked out of the camp when they surrounded me and robbed me of all my valuables."

"He even threatened me, saying that if I dared to expose this, he would make my daughter and I go to see the child's father together."

"Niu Niu is still young, and I was afraid something might happen to her, so I had no choice but to hold back..."

As she said this, Yunniang's face was full of disappointment. She never expected that the villagers who had watched her grow up would be so vicious and cruel.

Enraged, Zhao Daxuan slammed his fist into the ground. With a loud bang, the smooth sand and gravel ground caved in, leaving a deep fist-sized hole.

The others in the thatched hut were taken aback when they saw this, but when they realized it was Zhao Daxuan, they felt it was only natural.

Zhao Daxuan's voice was filled with murderous intent as he coldly asked, "Who are they? Can you identify them?"
