However, Zhao Chuchu didn’t feel any ill intentions from the person watching her. She decided to ignore it and continued her journey to the town.
It wasn’t until she was in the town that the feeling of her being watched went away.
After walking for a little longer, she finally turned back but couldn’t find anything suspicious.
Zhao Chuchu decided to ignore that for the time being and headed to the herbal medicine shop.
As the plague had just gotten under control, few shops had yet opened their doors. The street looked quiet.
The medicine shop owner was falling asleep when he was interrupted by a knock on the counter.
He opened his eyes and quickly got up when he noticed it was Zhao Chuchu. With a huge smile on his face, he asked, “Doctor Zhao, what do you need?”
Zhao Chuchu handed the owner a list of herbs she needed and said, “Do you have these herbs?”
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtThe owner glanced through the list and replied, “I’ve never heard of these three herbs. Are they known by other names?”
Zhao Chuchu explained what the herbs were and asked, “Can we find these in the city?”
The owner shook his head. “I’ve been selling herbs for a long time, and I’ve never heard of such herbs.”
The lady frowned a little. If she could not purchase the herbs, then she would have no choice but to head into the mountain and look there.
“Then, can you get me the rest on the list?” Zhao Chuchu said as she crossed the three herbs out with a pen on the counter. “I’ll come and get them later.”
“Alrighty!’ The owner quickly nodded. There was no way he would slack off when he had a genius doctor like Zhao Chuchu as his customer.
What people didn’t know was that Zhao Chuchu was very strong. She could easily carry 150 kilograms around with her.
Since she didn’t want to scare other people with her strength, she only bought 8 kilograms worth of bleached flour from the rice vendor.
She also thought of buying some pork on her way back, but because she was still pretending to be poor and did not know how to cook, she held herself back.
When she returned to the herb shop, the owner had already grabbed all the herbs she had asked for and had laid them out on the counter.
“How much?”
“2 silvers.”
In the end, being healthy was the biggest wealth one could ever ask for.
Half a kilogram of rice was worth 15 cents, and half a kilogram of bleached flour was 20 cents, but the herbs that were around 1 kilogram in weight had cost her two silvers.
Zhao Chuchu took out Xie Heng’s wallet and paid the owner. She was about to leave after that when the owner stopped her.
“Doctor Zhao! Please wait a moment.”
Zhao Chuchu turned to look at the owner.
“Umm… I have a proposal. Are you willing to work here as a doctor? I’m willing to pay you six silvers a month.”
“I’m sorry, but I’m sure your doctor can already treat most illnesses. Also, I have to cure my husband’s eyes. I don’t have the time to come into town every day.”
The owner was disappointed by the reply.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmAfter a moment of hesitation, Zhao Chuchu said, “But, if you ever encounter something hard for your doctor to deal with, you can always ask for my help. But, I’ll be the one who’ll decide the price.”
“Of course!” The owner quickly took out the desserts he had prepared beforehand. “Here. It’s a small gift. I got it from that famous shop in town.”
Zhao Chuchu took a sniff and smiled. “They smell good. Thank you.”
“It’s good that you like it.”
“Oh, by the way. I’ll leave some Golden Soreness Cure with you in a few days. Can you help me sell them?”
“Of course!”
“Alright. Then, I’ll take my leave first.” Zhao Chuchu left the shop after that while the owner let out a sigh of relief.
The moment Zhao Chuchu got out of town, she felt that someone was watching her again.
“What the heck is wrong with this person?” She scolded in her head. “Does he have a weird kink or something?”
She continued to pretend that she did not notice she was being watched and headed back to the village alone.
However, this time, on her way back, she was stopped by someone.
