nThe next day Yu Dong woke up before anyone else could , even though she was just going to keep up with the pretences , she would rather keep lying rather than be caught and burned . If someone in this world really found out that she was actually a different soul from another world and had something like inner world , who knows how these superstitious villagers might react to it .

nYu Dong who woke even before the village 's rooster thought that she was the only person awake in the village currently but when she walked out of her room , she saw that Shen Li was already awake and bustling around the kitchen , for a second she was surprised .

nShen Li who saw Yu Dong coming out of her room , nodded at her and smiled in a polite yet distant manner

" you are awake ? I have cooked some porridge for you , you can eat before you leave

"

n

" Ah En - thank you

" Yu Dong could not come up with another thing to say , this was the first time that she was being taken care by someone in his life who wasn't her family . Her parents were researchers and they rarely returned home , so it the responsibilities to take care of her brothers fell on her - and with an apocalypse happening no one had the time to experience romance , every one were too busy surviving .

nSo , Yu Dong was pretty much a bachelor until she died , now that someone was taking care of her - she felt both happy yet awkward .

nShen Li paused when he heard Yu Dong say thank you , then without saying anything , he ladled some porridge in her bowl and placed it in front of her

" I have packed some for Little Mai too , if you pass by shopkeepers Zhai shop remember to bring some porridge to him as well

"

nYu Dong who was chewing the rice , suddenly choked and coughed - Startling Shen Li who was packing a portion of porridge for Yu Mai , he hurriedly gave Yu Dong a cup of water that she gratefully gulped .

n

" are you alright ?

" Asked Shen Li looking at Yu Dong who was still coughing and spluttering , Yu Dong waved a hand indicating that she was fine but then immediately slapped her forehead , no wonder she had a feeling like she was forgetting something - she was forgetting Yu Mai , Yu Dong's younger brother who was a mer as well .

nThe previous Yu Dong didn't like this brother of hers , so she sent him away to work in a rundown diner as a dish cleaner . Because Mai was a young boy around ten and was a special child not many were willing to let him work but Yu Dong who didn't want to raise a special mer who could only eat and sleep and help with nothing , was adamant about selling her brother - in the end she sold Yu Mai to an old diner shop for four taels - really when Yu Dong thought that she couldn't hate and despise the original owner anymore , a new memory will pop out from somewhere and make her feel all **ty ! Selling her brother for four taels? Why didn't you just go and sold yourself ? Let's see how much your drug addicted ass was worth !

nLast night Yu Dong had stopped reducing the damage to her brain and once again started on the damage to the body caused by the original owner , Yu Dong couldn't even bring herself to count how many body organs she treated last night , in fact it would be right to say that except her hands and legs every thing seemed to be either dying or deteriorating ! So of course such old memory from six months ago escaped her mind .

nYu Dong sighed really wishing that she could just chuck herself in the river - just when she thought she could repay , Wang shi 's money - she had another thing to deal with , and after contemplating she understood that bringing Yu Mai home was much more important than paying Wang shi right now .

n

" I will be off then

" after such a heavy load on her head , Yu Dong was in no mood to eat anymore , she took some bite of the porridge , took the package from Shen Li and left the house . Leaving a very bewildered and shocked Shen Li who was looking at the bowl of uneaten porridge - he bit his lip and sucked in a breath , did he say something to upset Yu Dong ?

nIf Yu Dong knew that Shen Li was blaming himself for her foul mood she would have returned back and ate the entire porridge ! She was just person who couldn't bear a single grain of dust in her eyes , now that she knew that the original owner sold her special needs Brother to an old diner , she couldn't sit still anymore - she walked hurriedly and swiftly then observed her surroundings once she was certain that there was no one around she took out the tiger pelt , meat and bones including the deer antlers , pelt and meat as well , then with the original owner's memory walked off in the direction of the town .

nYu Dong wasn't used to a bustling town , in her memory , the town 's market was always filled with ire and fear but this town 's market was actually pretty crowded , thus it took Yu Dong a little time to find the medicine hall .

nThe helper in the medicine hall looked at Yu Dong's tattered and patched clothing and arrogantly asked

" what are you doing here ? This shops doesn't sell medicine to beggars

"

nYu Dong had never been treated this way , she immediately flared up. Looking at The helper 's face , she scoffed

" I didn't know that your shop only sells medicines to emperors and princes , then why have you opened a shop in the middle of a town market where rich and poor all come to buy things !

"

n

" You -

" the helper didn't girl didn't think that a poor woman will be able to so affluently respond to her .

n

" what you ? A physician job is to treat patients whether young and old , or rich or poor ! To disdain someone just because of their background , since when physicians started to do such things !

"

nYu Dong voice wasn't soft at all , the physician woman who was sitting in the back room heard , Yu Dong 's loud voice and came out to see what was happening - she saw that her helper was flushed in anger while the woman who was standing outside was glaring at her with fire rising out of her eyes .

n

" Little Lin what's wrong ?

" Physician Zheng was a good natured woman , she took pride in her job, thus when a woman condemned her , she naturally couldn't stay silent .

n

" Teacher this woman -

"

n

" I will tell you what happened who knows how your helper will twist the story around

" said Yu Dong with a confident aura that didn't matched her poor appearance

"I came here to sell something but before I could even say a thing, your helper was already shooing me away like I was a street dog or cat , she even called me a beggar ! That's what happened

"

nPhysician Zheng heard Yu Dong 's explanation and looked at Little Lin whose face was white , as paper . Physician Zheng sighed , this helper of her was sent by her aunt and she was related to her thus she was arrogant to live in the town and help around her medical hall

" Little Lin how many times I have to tell you that we treat people the same way whether they are rich or poor , if you can't understand such a simple thing - then you can pack your bags and leave for your village , the next time I hear a complaint coming regarding you , Don't bother explaining !

" Then without giving Little Lin a good glance , Physician Zheng turned to Yu Dong and said with an apologetic smile

" I'm really sorry about her , she is too young and sometimes makes mistakes but I hope you can forgive her , please show me what you wanted to sell

"

nYu Dong looked at Physician Zheng she had a good feeling about this woman but she was still upset that This woman was still protecting the helper maybe the helper was her relative of something , Yu Dong rolled her eyes and took out the deer antlers velvet and said

" I was going to sell these antlers I hunted a deer just this morning but clearly I'm not welcome here , so I will just -

"

nSeeing the fresh deer antlers , Physician Zheng's eyes lit up and she hurriedly stopped Yu Dong

" wait wait wait , I will buy it and as an apology I will pay eight taels how about it ?

"

nYu Dong did a mental calculation then looked at the little helper

" nine taels and an apology, I will sell if not I will sell it somewhere else , just so you know I'm a fine hunter and might come to sell it again

"

nPhysician Zheng was tempted in the end she could only glare at Little Lin who bowed her head and muttered

"I'm sorry , I won't look down on people again

"

n

" there you go - you want nine taels right ? I am willing to pay but the next time you hunt a deer the antlers should be sold to my medical hall alone

".

nHalf an hour later with nine taels in hand , Yu Dong was standing in front of the diner where Yu Mai was sold .
