nShe could not do anything about him. She walked up to him and slapped the paper containing the prescription on his chest.

n

nQian Jiyun did not tease her anymore either. He took the prescription and studied it.

n

n“A prescription for treating the epidemic disease?” He raised his eyebrows and looked at her.

n

nAn Jiuyue shrugged and replied, “Something like that.”

n

n“This is a prescription I happened to obtain in the past. It was said that it’s specifically used to treat epidemic diseases. However, its exact use varies for different persons and diseases.

n

n“The prescription still needs revision. I’ve never met anyone with epidemic disease, so I don’t know how to do that.”

n

nIn truth, she had studied Western medicine. It would be easy for her to perform surgery on someone now. However, she was quite unfamiliar with Chinese medicine.

n

n“Do you know any imperial physicians? Give this prescription to them and let them handle it. However, don’t implicate me. I won’t admit it if you tell others that this prescription is mine.”

n

nShe made it clear first so that her prescription could not be traced back to her to save herself a lot of trouble.

n

nIt did not matter if she denied that the prescription was hers. She would be happy as long as the Points Mall recognized her actions and her points increased.

n

n“Did you also put medicine based on this prescription inside the mountain spring?” Qian Jiyun guessed, looking at her earnestly.

n

nHe had smelt a faint medicinal scent when he went to fetch water at the mountain spring. He thought she prepared in advance and scattered medicinal powder.

n

nAn Jiuyue was silent.

n

nWhat’s this guy’s zodiac? He’s so sharp. Is he born to be my natural enemy?

n

n“Not really. I only used a few medicinal herbs. It’s not easy to find herbs on the mountain. Some of the herbs in the prescription can’t be found during this season,” she replied honestly.

n

nThere had just been a flood, and now, there was this commotion. With five children at home, it was naturally impossible for her to get these medicines.

n

nBesides, she had limited money. She could not possibly starve herself to death for the sake of others. She was not that generous.

n

n“Understood.”

n

nQian Jiyun nodded and folded the prescription carefully before putting it away.

n

n“Good. You should do what you need to do. I’ll go cook.”

n

nWith that, An Jiuyue closed the door and went to the kitchen. She had to lock the door every day and could not afford to relax for a moment anymore.

n

nShe was meant to work hard all her life. It was rather exhausting thinking, monitoring, and managing everything.

n

n“Oh, right, one more thing.”

n

nShe turned around by the kitchen door suddenly and looked at Qian Jiyun.

n

n“The excuse I gave Aunt Ju and Aunt Miao just now is not a lie. I do hope that you can use this free time to teach your sons some self-defense moves. This is a good time for them to learn martial arts.

n

n“Their bones will fuse after some time. It’ll be harder to learn martial arts then.”

n

n“Alright, I will,” Qian Jiyun replied.

n

n…

n

nThe quiet days on the mountain passed quickly. Three days passed in the blink of an eye.

n

nNot many climbed up the mountain over the past few days, so they did not receive any news from the village.

n

nHowever, the village was far from peaceful.

n

n“Another one! Why don’t they care about the lives of our villagers?”
