Rebirth of the leisurely life in ancient times

Chapter 17 Finally, someone useful shows up

After she blow-dried her hair in the space, she left the space. Because she had to go to town tomorrow, it would be better for her to sleep outside. She lay on the bed, covered with the new quilt she took out of the space, and soon fell asleep.

Xia Zixuan had a dreamless night and woke up the next morning. She ate something simple, picked up a backpack and set off for the town.

According to the original owner's memory, it takes about forty minutes to walk to the town.

Xia Zixuan arrived at the town quickly with light steps. She found that many people had come to the town to sell things. Some were selling chickens they raised or vegetables they grew themselves, as well as mushrooms picked from the mountains, fish caught in the river, and so on.

She walked inside and soon arrived at a clinic. She looked up and saw the plaque that read Renhe Clinic. Xia Zixuan found a corner to fill her backpack and then walked into the clinic. Just as she reached the door, she saw a medicine boy walking towards her, looking at her with contempt and disgust.

"Go away, go away, you little beggar, where did you come from? Don't come to my clinic if you don't have money. You will be held responsible if you make our clinic dirty! Go away now."

This made Xia Zixuan angry. Although her clothes were a little old, they were not patched! Moreover, the original owner was a clean person, and her clothes were all washed clean. How could she be called a beggar? If it weren't for the people coming and going in the town, she would really want to strangle him to death with a vine.

There are people who look down on others everywhere.

A few people walked over and asked, "Hey, why are the people in this clinic still chasing people out?"

Someone immediately said, "You have never been to this clinic, have you? They used to have a very good reputation, but now for some reason, they chase away all the patients who come."

She snorted and said, "With your attitude, you are not worthy of being called Renhe Clinic. You are such a dog-eyed person. No wonder there are so few people in the clinic. It turns out that they have all been driven away!"

A person who used to see a doctor here said, "That's right. I used to come to this clinic for treatment and my wife was fine. Until two months ago, I don't know what happened. The doctor went to another clinic... Alas!"

Some people also said angrily: "What else could it be? Just look at the face of this medicine boy and you will know!"

Xia Zixuan interrupted and said, "You are not a spy sent by other clinics to deliberately sabotage this clinic..."

Before Xia Zixuan could finish her words, she was interrupted by the medicine boy in frustration.

"Shut up and stop talking nonsense. I'm just afraid that you will dirty our clinic. I'm not a spy sent by others. If you keep talking nonsense, I will have someone arrest you." He scolded those who were whispering and threatened Xia Zixuan.

"Whether I am talking nonsense or not, you know it yourself. And it is something that everyone knows. How could I be talking nonsense? I don't think you want your boss's clinic to be good at all."

The little medicine boy felt a little guilty, but he still said bluntly: "You are talking nonsense. If you don't leave, I will report you to the police."

Apart from the boss, no one should know the purpose of his coming here. How did this little bitch know it? No matter if she was deceiving him or knew something, he would not let this little bitch ruin his good deeds.

Xia Zixuan didn't know that she was right, and continued, "Oh! Why did I say that? You must be feeling guilty! Otherwise, why would a clinic drive patients away?"

"And how do you know that people who wear shabby clothes are definitely poor? Don't be so mercenary..."

Xia Zixuan watched as people gathered around in a short while, and then she started to scold the medicine boy. The people around her also pointed at him and talked about him.

She also saw a middle-aged man in his thirties or forties coming out of the clinic. He should be the owner or doctor of the clinic.

Then I heard his angry voice, "Xiao Xianzi, is this how you greet guests? I was wondering why there were so few people every time, it turns out it was all your fault, you'd better tell me who sent you here, otherwise don't blame me for sending you to the government."

"Someone, lock up Xiao Xianzi first. I'll settle the score with him when I'm free."

Xia Zixuan pursed her lips and thought to herself, finally someone useful has appeared.

The middle-aged man, who was the owner of the clinic, was counting medicinal materials in the backyard when he heard a noisy noise outside. He walked out and saw Xiao Xuanzi arguing with her.

Xiao Xuanzi struggled and said anxiously: "Boss, don't listen to this little girl's nonsense. I really wasn't sent by anyone! You want to... um." Before he could finish his words, his mouth was covered.

Shopkeeper Liu waved his hands impatiently and said, "Take him away quickly, keep an eye on him, and don't let him run away."

Then, with a kind smile on his face, he bowed to Xia Zixuan and said, "Young lady, I am the owner of Renhe Medical Clinic. My surname is Liu. I am really sorry for what happened just now. It is our fault for not disciplining you properly and causing you to feel wronged. Please come in, young lady. Whether you want to see a doctor or get medicine, we will waive the medicine fee for you today."

Xia Zixuan followed Shopkeeper Liu into the clinic. "Shopkeeper Liu, you are too polite. Don't call me Miss. My father's last name is Xia and my name is Zixuan. This is not your fault. I was a little aggressive just now. Shopkeeper Liu, please don't be offended. I don't treat patients or prescribe medicine. I am here to sell medicinal herbs."

Then he took down the backpack and placed it on the ground for him to see.

Shopkeeper Liu took some out of the basket, looked at it and said, "These are honeysuckle and plantain! I didn't expect you to know about herbs."

"Yes, I picked these on the mountain yesterday. I wonder how much you can give me per pound?" Xia Zixuan smiled lightly as she looked at Shopkeeper Liu.
