Fast Wear: A Different Life

Chapter 204 Lotus Tower (7)

As time flies, the two of them go hand in hand and move forward. Along the way, they tirelessly treat countless patients and constantly update the medical records.

However, the same disease requires different treatment methods and prescriptions due to individual differences. Even so, Ji Xiao always insists on using the simplest and most effective method for treatment, and the herbs used are all common in the local area, which can be found in the mountains or bought in the herbal medicine shop.

Not only that, Li Xiangyi would also teach the village chief to identify simple and easy-to-remember herbs, and personally hand-painted an easy-to-understand and common and practical herb atlas. When he was too busy to spare time, he would ask the village chief to find someone to copy it and return it to him. All these made Ji Xiao and Li Xiangyi famous and almost household names (currently only in nearby villages and towns).

Because of this, the people gave Ji Xiao the beautiful title of "the fairy doctor with bare hands", and Li Xiangyi also got the title of "miracle doctor" by cheating with the "Yangzhou slow" method.

Time flies, and in two months, the herbs they prepared were almost used up, but they didn't have enough time to process fresh herbs. So the two decided to find a nearby town to stop and rest, and purchase a batch of new herbs to replenish the stock.

Today was a beautiful day with clear skies. After entering the city, Li Xiangyi found a wide and open space and parked the carriage steadily. After he had properly settled the two horses, he entered the house, planning to go upstairs to find Ji Xiao. Sure enough, when he went upstairs, he found Ji Xiao lying quietly on the couch on the terrace and soundly sleeping.

Therefore, he tiptoed to Ji Xiao's side, squatted down, lowered his voice and asked softly: "Xiao Xiao, we have entered the city. Do you want to go downstairs and walk on the street together, go shopping and relax?"

Seeing Ji Xiao exhausted from running around and seeing too many patients in recent days, he felt sorry for her because this kind of fatigue did not come from physical fatigue, but more from the weariness and exhaustion deep in her heart.

Although Li Xiangyi felt sorry for her and hoped that she could rest for a while, she had slept for the whole morning after all, so she still needed to get up and move her body properly. Moreover, for girls, the most ideal way to relax was to go shopping, so when they just entered the city, he did not plan to make lunch, but to take her out to eat and then go shopping together.

Ji Xiao, who had just been woken up, was still a little confused, so she half-closed her eyes, stretched out her arms to hug Li Xiangyi's neck and rubbed it gently for a few times, and then said tenderly: "Xiangyi, I'm so tired..."

Li Xiangyi stroked her hair lovingly and suggested softly, "Why don't we not go to see the doctor? There are so many sick people in the world, and you are not the only one who is proficient in medicine. If you really feel bad about it, then we can buy a store here, open a clinic with affordable prices, and recruit a few doctors to see patients. If we really encounter a disease that they can't diagnose and treat, then we can ask you to help. Just like the clinic you arranged for Banxia to open in Sigumen, how about we open a clinic like this here?"

"Yes, okay. Then we will go look for a shop later. It would be best if we choose a place with a convenient location and pleasant environment. Then we will find a few smart and talented female doctors, or women who are interested in medicine and willing to learn. I will teach them personally and pass on my medical skills to them. In this way, not only can I be freed from busy affairs, but it can also provide these women with an opportunity for employment and development." Ji Xiao happily planned for the future.

Li Xiangyi held Ji Xiao tenderly, listening to her words quietly, his eyes full of love. After a while, Ji Xiao finally poked her head out of his arms, her face full of excitement and anticipation. She gently combed her messy hair, and the whole person looked refreshed.

Then, she tightly grasped Li Xiangyi's arm and said impatiently, "Let's go now! Let's quickly find a suitable shop and open it for business as soon as possible. When everything is on track, I can leave it to the students to take care of it without any worries. In this way, the two of us can travel around freely like before!"

Li Xiangyi smiled and nodded, indicating that he agreed with Ji Xiao's idea. He let Ji Xiao hold his hand and followed her out.

When Ji Xiao turned around and looked at him, he responded softly: "Okay, let's go now. I believe we can realize our plan soon." The two walked slowly on the street hand in hand.

Along the way, Li Xiangyi always silently watched Ji Xiao's cheerful figure, his eyes filled with endless love and affection.

Mainly because in the last world, Ji Xiao had to pretend to be cold due to the original owner's personality problems, for fear that people would find out that she was not the original owner. But now, she can finally be herself again. Of course, she can do whatever she wants, but her body is not her own, and her voice is still that cold tone, but there is a different feeling.

After walking for a while, Li Xiangyi saw a restaurant that was doing good business and was relatively clean, so he called Ji Xiao: "Xiaoxiao, there is a store here that looks good. Let's go have lunch first and then look for a store."

"Okay! Let's go in quickly then."

As soon as they entered, a waiter came up to greet them, "Please come in, my dear guests. Would you like to go to the lobby or the private room on the second floor?"

Ji Xiao looked at the busy restaurant and said, "Let's go to the second floor. Are there any seats facing the street?"

"Yes, please come in." The waiter made a gesture of invitation, then led the two people up to the second floor and brought them to a private room facing the street.

After the two of them sat down, Ji Xiao leaned on the windowsill, observing the pedestrians passing by outside the window, and a different feeling surged in her heart. At this moment, she seemed to be comforted by the atmosphere filled with the breath of worldly fireworks, and her tired and anxious mood became particularly calm and peaceful at this moment. The fireworks of the world are the most soothing to the hearts of ordinary people.

Ji Xiao didn't say anything after she came up. All the dishes were ordered by Li Xiangyi. The two have been together for more than ten years, and these ten years have allowed them to better understand each other's tastes and preferences.

After the waiter left, Li Xiangyi picked up the water cup and poured two glasses of water, "Xiaoxiao, drink some water."

"Hmm." Ji Xiao looked out the window absentmindedly, her eyes confused, her thoughts drifting far away. She casually reached out to take the cup he handed her, took a sip, and felt the warm liquid sliding down her throat. Then she came back to her senses and said softly, "Xiangyi, it is really a wonderful thing that we can live healthily and stay together forever!"

Li Xiangyi nodded slightly in agreement. He said with emotion: "Yes, I never thought before that there are so many people in this world who cannot afford medical expenses due to poverty and can only choose to give up treatment helplessly." His tone revealed a hint of heaviness and helplessness.

Ji Xiao turned her head, looked into his eyes, and comforted him: "This is not your fault. The knowledge you learned is different from mine, and your ideal is to venture into the world. And the fact that you can think of establishing Si Gu Men is already very remarkable. Moreover, you have surpassed most people in this world. We should leave some room for those ordinary people."

Li Xiangyi listened to Ji Xiao's words silently, thinking secretly in his heart. He understood that the first Sigumen he established mainly focused on the affairs of the Jianghu, and at the same time had some contact with the court, but he did not have a deep understanding of the situation at the bottom of society.

However, after Ji Xiao's reforms and proposals, the new Four Guardians were established, covering a wider range of areas. If it had not maintained close ties with the court, it would have been attacked and disintegrated countless times.
