Bai Zhi smiled and said: “You don’t need to repay us. Just take care of your wife and daughter. If you live a good life, then we will not regret saving you this time.”

Awu nodded and nodded his head. He couldn’t speak, he didn’t dare to speak. If he opens his mouth, his tears might fall. He was a grown-up man. How could he cry in front of a little girl?

Awu’s wife came out of the carriage and said with an anxious face: “Ru’er is getting worse. She starts talking nonsense. What should we do? What will happened to her?”

When Bai Zhi heard those words, she rushed and climbed up the carriage, then checked the little girl’s temperature. According to her experience, her temperature was at least 40 degrees Celsius. Convulsions are common symptoms after reaching this temperature.

“How long has it been since she had a fever?” Bai Zhi asked in a low voice.

Awu’s wife busily replied: “3 days from now, in the last 2 days, it wasn’t this serious. But, because we don’t have money to bring her to the doctor, her fever was dragged and dragged, and now…” Awu’s wife said as her tears kept flowing.

Bai Zhi hurriedly comforted her: “Don’t cry, she’ll be fine. I’m here.” After that, Bai Zhi took out her needle bag from her purse and ordered Awu’s wife to lie flat her daughter and hold her hands.

“Young missy, what are you going to do?” Awu’s wife busily asked.

Bai Zhi answered her: “She is now in a dangerous situation because of her high fever. We need to get rid of her fever as soon as possible. But because I don’t have medicine with me, I can only stabilize her condition with acupuncture.”

“Young missy is a doctor?” Awu’s wife’s face became bright. Her face finally had some color.

Bai Zhi nodded her head and said she has some knowledge of medicine. While talking, her hand started inserting the needle to Ru’er’s body.

Her needle technique made Awu’s wife stupefied. She had seen a doctor performing acupuncture in the hospital before. The doctor was determining the right acupuncture points before inserting the needles. However, she didn’t look for the acupuncture points at all, she just directly inserted the needles.

Is she a fake doctor?

After Bai Zhi finished, she collected the needle and put them away, then she wiped her sweat.

“This, is she alright now?” Awu’s wife asked.

Bai Zhi shook her head: “Not yet, we just temporarily control her temperature, so that her high temperature will not burn her brain.” In a glance, she could tell that the child has severe influenza. The best way to control it is to give her western medicine. She hides those medicines at home. Because she didn’t dare to show them out.

Bai Zhi went down the carriage and looked at Awu: “Awu Dage, you don’t have a place to live at the moment. Your daughter is sick, it’s better for you to go back with us in Huangtou Village. I have medicine at home that can cure Ruer’s disease.”

Awu was actually worried because they have no place to go. If he was all alone, he can survive, but what about his wife? What about his sick daughter?

Bai Zhi was afraid that he would be so embarrassed to accept her help, and so she said: “This is the case. We have acres of fields at home. Now, it’s time for us to harvest, I need people. I think Awu Dage is strong. Why don’t you go to our house and help us? I’ll give you a salary, foods and a place to stay. How about that?” If he agrees, she can let Awu and his family squeezed in their house. It’s far better than letting them live in the streets.

Awu hurriedly waved his hand: “I can work. I have the strength to work. It’s enough that you could give us foods and a place to stay. You don’t need to give me a salary. You don’t need to give me money for working.”
