Xiao Zhengxun nodded repeatedly. He had already given up hope, thinking that he would never be able to stand up again in his life and could only lie paralyzed in bed and wait to die.

But now, even if there is a glimmer of hope, he is willing to give it a try.

"Doctor Lin, just go ahead." Xiao Zhengxun held the edge of the bed with a determined look.

Lin Zhuwei nodded, holding his knee with one hand and his calf with the other, then twisted it hard——

"Ah..." Xiao Zhengxun gritted his teeth and screamed.

"Zhengxun, how is it?" Aunt Xiao asked anxiously, her heart in her throat.

"Mom, I'm fine." Xiao Zhengxun gritted his teeth, "Doctor Lin, please continue."

Lin Zhuwei nodded appreciatively and used the same method to correct the bone structure on his left leg.

"Okay," Lin Zhuwei wiped the sweat off his forehead, "You can't move around freely for the next two months. But you should go out and get some sun more often, which will help your recovery."

As she spoke, she took out a blueprint, which showed a simple bed stepper and a wheelchair.

Aunt Xiao couldn't carry Xiao Zhengxun by herself, so a wheelchair was necessary.

"Do you know the carpenter?"

Aunt Xiao nodded quickly: "Let's get to know each other."

"Take it to the carpenter and have it made."

Seeing that she looked troubled, Lin Zhuwei took out two taels of silver and handed it to her: "Take this silver first, and return it to me when Brother Xiao is well and can make money."

Aunt Xiao and Xiao Zhengxun were so surprised and delighted that they almost knelt down to thank her.

"Doctor Lin, please try the clothes to see if they fit." Aunt Xiao quickly took out the tailored clothes.

Her needlework is really good, and the stitches are neat and tidy.

Lin Zhuwei tried it on and found it really fit her. The light green coarse cloth looked much more classy after she embroidered it, making her look much more energetic.

Aunt Xiao was reluctant to throw away the remaining scraps, so she embroidered a pair of shoes for her.

Lin Zhuwei was very satisfied. He counted out forty coins and handed them to her: "This is your wages."

Mrs. Xiao was unwilling to accept it and waved her hands repeatedly: "Doctor Lin, please don't embarrass me. I hope you don't think my cooking skills are bad. The two taels of silver just now haven't even warmed up yet, how can I still accept your money?"

Lin Zhuwei didn't force him, and just said, "The wages will be deducted from the two taels of silver. It's still early, I'll go to the town."

Aunt Xiao quickly took out two pancakes and stuffed them into her hands. She then sent her straight onto the path and repeatedly told her to come back before dark. Only then did she turn back.

Lin Zhuwei nodded, quickened his pace, and headed straight for Miaorentang.

Shopkeeper Xu was very happy to see her coming, and hurried to greet her, quite surprised: "Miss, the scars on your face were very clear when I saw you last time. It's only been a few days since I last saw you, but you've healed a lot. What good things did you use?"

Lin Zhuwei smiled, didn't answer, and directly took out the herbs from the bamboo basket.

Shopkeeper Xu estimated the price and gave two taels of silver.

Lin Zhuwei was satisfied. She had only picked some herbs outside the mountain last time, so she naturally didn't expect too much from the price.

"Girl, what's in your little bamboo basket? Do you want to sell it?" Shopkeeper Xu asked expectantly when he saw her carefully protecting the bamboo jar hanging on her waist.

Lin Zhuwei nodded, placed the small hollow bamboo jar on the counter and opened it.

Shopkeeper Xu stretched his head to take a look and was extremely surprised!

It turned out to be crape myrtle planted in a soil bag with its roots and leaves!

"Miss, did you grow this?" Shopkeeper Xu couldn't hide his excitement.

It was the first time he saw a living crape myrtle.

The crape myrtle grass purchased by the pharmacy is mostly dried and its moisture is removed, so its medicinal effect is greatly reduced.

If Miaorentang could obtain this herb, cultivate it, and let it bloom and spread leaves, it would be the treasure of the store.

However, this herb is difficult to grow, and I don’t know if this girl can tell him how to grow it.

Lin Zhuwei shook his head and told the truth: "My master planted it. I don't have the ability to keep it alive."

Shopkeeper Xu was a little disappointed and asked quickly, "Would your master be willing to work in my shop? He will pay the wages."

Lin Zhuwei thought of the taciturn, aloof and cold character of old man Jia, so he shook his head and said, "Manager Xu, my master doesn't like to socialize with people, there is no hope for this."

Shopkeeper Xu sighed and said, "Miss, how much do you want to sell this crape myrtle grass for?"

Lin Zhuwei stretched out his five fingers.

Shopkeeper Xu pondered for a moment and counted out fifty taels of silver to her.

When he sent her out, he reminded her earnestly: "Girl, next time you need herbs, be sure to come to me!"

Lin Zhuwei nodded lightly and went out.

After leaving Miaorentang, Lin Zhuwei went to the wine shop first and bought two pots of the best Jiannanchun for Old Man Jia.

Then he found a blacksmith shop and picked out a sharp little knife.

When I asked the price, it turned out to be three taels of silver.

"Girl, you have good taste." The blacksmith shop owner smiled, "Don't be fooled by the lightness of this knife. It is made of the finest iron. It is very sharp and can cut iron like mud."

As the boss spoke, he pulled out a knife and chopped at a large block of iron. A corner of the block was actually cut off, and the cut edge was extremely neat.

When I looked at the knife again, it was completely intact and was becoming even sharper and flashing a cold light.

"Then let's take this one." Lin Zhuwei decided to buy it. It is always good to have a small knife for self-defense.

After paying the silver and on the way back, she saw a vendor hawking his wares on the street. For some reason, she had an idea and bought a small bag of pepper powder.

After finishing all this, Lin Zhuwei decided to go back.

The path was sparsely populated and the sky was dark, so she couldn't help but quicken her pace.

"Little girl, stop!"

With a loud shout, two men, one fat and one thin, suddenly jumped out from the side of the road. They looked like refugees.

Lin Zhuwei's heart sank, he stopped and looked at them warily.

The tall and thin man stepped forward and said, "Little girl, take out all the silver you have and we will spare your life."

Lin Zhuwei frowned and took out the remaining silver from his sleeve pocket and threw it over.

The bearded fat man picked it up, weighed it, gave a lewd smile, and stuffed it into his sleeve pocket.

"What else is in the bamboo basket?" The tall and thin man raised the big knife in his hand towards Lin Zhuwei.

In the bamboo basket were newly cut clothes and fifty taels of silver from helping Old Man Jia sell medicine.

Being entrusted with something, she was naturally unwilling to hand it over.

Although Lin Zhuwei knew some martial arts, she was not sure about fighting two against one, so she took off the bamboo basket with a cold face and put it on the ground.

"Go check her bamboo basket." The tall and thin man directed the fat man to go over and check.

The fat man laughed and walked up to Lin Zhuwei with a big knife in his hand. He stuck the knife into the ground and then started to check her bamboo basket.

He threw the clothes he had found on the ground and stomped on them twice. Lin Zhuwei looked at his rough actions and pursed her lips.

He searched out the money bag, weighed it, and shouted: "Brother, there is still a bag of silver here!"

The thin man snorted fiercely: "Little girl, you are not honest!"

"Girl, you are so brave that you even dare to cheat us." The fat man put the silver into his sleeve pocket as usual and looked Lin Zhuwei up and down with a lewd look on his face.

The thin man carried the big knife on his shoulder and walked towards them in what he thought was a very handsome manner.

He said in a dirty way: "I think this girl is pretty. We can sell her to a brothel and get a lot of money."

The fat man nodded with a lecherous look in his eyes: "Brother, before you sell her to the brothel, let me have some fun first. I haven't touched such a beautiful girl in a long time."

Lin Zhuwei felt nauseous and reached his hands into his sleeve pockets, clenching them tightly.

"Come on, little beauty, let me kiss you first."

As the fat man spoke, he actually touched Lin Zhuwei's face——

"what!"

A shrill scream echoed through the woods.

Lin Zhuwei's eyes were filled with a bottomless cold pond. Looking at the five neatly cut-off fingers on the ground and the fat man's twisted and hideous face, she felt a sense of relief.

The newly bought knife is indeed worth three taels of silver.

Cutting bones and removing meat is really a piece of cake!

"Ah! It hurts so much!" The fat man covered his bloody palm and knelt on the ground crying in pain.

"You damn bitch! How dare you touch my brother? Go to hell!" said the tall and thin man, and rushed over with a big knife.

"Brother! Kill her! Kill her for me!" the fat man roared ferociously.

The big knife came slashing at her, and Lin Zhuwei dodged it narrowly. The blade passed by her ear, which made her heart shudder. She became nervous and stared at him intently.

Is he going to die here today?!
