He glanced at the side again, "There are good things in there."

Hearing his brother's words, he was so scared that the medicine choked on his throat and almost let go of the bowl. He coughed several times before he could barely stop. He had no strength to begin with and his eyes were almost closed, but now they were wide open.

His body was a little stiff. He wanted to see if anyone noticed this. He turned his eyes to both sides as far as he could. It was painful. He stretched his neck towards the other person and lowered his voice, "Where did you get this good thing? What is it?"

When the man saw his brother like this, he thought that it was a good idea to steal the medicine. He knew that his brother was a person who valued his life and was unwilling to stay here and wanted to leave early, so he gave him a helping hand.

"It's a herbal medicine that can help you recover faster. I just saw that little girl put this thing into the medicine of one of the patients."

I looked at my brother, who was completely absorbed in what I said, without even blinking, and I felt extremely proud.

“I asked someone what it was, and guess what?”

"What's wrong?"

"Don't underestimate this medicine, it looks like a weed, it has a powerful effect," he whispered, "a man picked it specially to save his heart, it can save his life."

"Hanging for life?"

The man looked at the other's somewhat confused eyes, but he didn't seem angry. After all, they were good brothers who had grown up together. Even if the other person's reaction was slow due to illness, he would never laugh at him or get angry.

After thinking for a while, he explained seriously: "It's just that the person is about to die, but he is still holding on to his last breath and won't let go. Do you think this medicine is magical?"

I couldn't help but nodded, the corners of my mouth curled up happily, but suddenly I thought of something, my brows furrowed, and a worried look appeared on my face.

"God, it's amazing, but no one has discovered it, right?"

When the man heard his brother's question, he felt warm in his heart. The medicine was not stolen in vain. It was him who stole the medicine. Even his mother had never cared about him so much, otherwise she would not have come here to serve him. He must be allowed to live well and must not end up like those people who were crushed to dust.

"No, if I were discovered, would I still be able to feed you medicine here?"

He stretched out his hand to pat the man's shoulder, but forgot that he had no strength, and his hand, which he raised with all his strength, patted the man's thigh.

The man knew what he wanted to do, but if it were someone else, it would be a misunderstanding.

"That's true. You're really kind enough to do this for me. But I don't know if it will work, even if you try so hard."

The man had thought about this problem before and felt that it would definitely be useful, otherwise he would not have taken such a big risk to do this.

Patted his hands and told him not to worry.

"It's effective even for dying people. Your symptoms are much milder. I think you'll be well soon after taking it."

Hearing the man say this, the bowl in her hand seemed to become heavier, as if it was some kind of panacea that would make her better after taking it.

After taking a look, he was reluctant to drink it, so he glanced at the man again and saw his expectant expression, "Thanks to your good words, I will drink it.

The man nodded and said, "Drink it. Don't let it get cold. It won't work if it gets cold."

I drank the Chinese medicine in one breath. Since I couldn't taste anything due to the high fever, it didn't taste very bitter.

The man looked at the bowl and saw that it was completely clean, so he knew that all the medicine he put in there had gone into his stomach.

There shouldn't be any problem once it enters his stomach. I had thought of asking him to chew the herbs so that they would be more effective, but he has already finished drinking them, so forget it.

The man helped his brother lie down, and saw that his face seemed to be a little rosier. He didn't know if it was his illusion or reality, so he would wait and see tomorrow. However, it was not good to add more medicine every time. There was not much to begin with, and it was easy to see that something was missing.

I'll ask him tomorrow. If he really feels better, it's not a problem to go get some more. At worst, if I'm discovered, I can just go get some more and compensate him.

"You take a rest, I still have to go to work."

I closed my eyes directly. The conversation just now was already exhausting. After all, I was still a patient.

The man picked up the bowl and walked back. Thinking of the twenty taels of silver, his steps became faster.

As soon as Nier put down the medicine bowl, someone took it away to wash it. It felt so good to have someone helping her.

Although it is impossible for me to just stand there and watch without doing any work, it is indeed much easier than before.

My aunt has taught these people how to boil medicine. Gradually they have mastered it, and it is not difficult to learn. Finally, they can take a breath.

As long as we get the yellow mud and a few more stoves, we can take care of it within a period of time and there is no need to worry about not having enough manpower.

Ni'er was not idle after she came back. She had to get medicinal materials for the epidemic prevention soup. Although she didn't have to make the balls by hand and was not so tired, she had to make the epidemic prevention soup several times a day, which was not easy. Now this work can be shared with everyone, and it is not bad for everyone to do a little.

While working, Nier was thinking about the man she had just met. The more she thought about it, the more confused she became.

Then he turned around to see what his aunt was doing.

Seeing that Ni'er seemed to have something to say, the aunt walked over and said, "What's wrong? You look like you're worried about something."

Ni'er nodded. She didn't expect that her aunt knew what she was thinking after just a few days of getting along.

"I just ran into the man who made the bet with me on the road. He seemed very happy. I felt a little strange. What happened when I was not here just now?"

The aunt felt that Ni'er was really meticulous and observant, which was something most people couldn't do.

He told her everything that had just happened.

Nier became suspicious, but she didn't understand what he had done.

He showed everyone someone else's medicine. Could it be just out of curiosity? Besides, his brother can't use it either.

Since I can't figure it out, I might as well go and take a look at the package of medicine. Maybe I can find some clues.

After picking up the herbs for the anti-epidemic soup, I gave them to my aunt and asked her to watch over the people while they worked.

I went to where the small paper bag was placed and opened it to check.

I checked them one by one, and the quantity was correct, and there seemed to be no problem. Could it be that I was overthinking it?

Just when she was about to check it carefully again, she heard the man humming a little tune. Not wanting him to see it and alert the enemy, she put the small paper bag away.

He looked around and asked, "Why hasn't Doctor Zhao come back yet?"

Someone said, "No, I didn't see anyone."

The man looked at Ni'er twice and saw that she was no different from usual. He knew that his deeds had not been exposed. He could do the same thing next time and his brother's illness would definitely get better.

When the aunt saw the person coming back, she thought it was a good opportunity to have an extra helper, so she waved her hand and asked the person to come over.

Although the man was reluctant, he couldn't show it.
