Xiaosuisui blinked and said to Zhao Fei, "Add some water to help me grind the ink."
The reason Xiaosuisui’s pouch contained these items was all thanks to Huo Xing’Er. Ever since Huo Xing’Er learned that the girl had caused trouble again in Yang City over a rabbit, she worried Xiaosuisui might say something regrettable. If her words were directed at bad people, that would be one thing. But they also feared she might unintentionally harm a good person.
So Huo Xing’Er had a large carriage prepared just for herself and Suisui, with a writing desk installed inside. Throughout the journey, she had Suisui practice calligraphy, recognize characters, and learn skills in the carriage!
Xiaosuisui wrote down the prescription and handed it to Zhao Fei.
"Here you go. This prescription should be taken continuously until she feels better and no longer wants to take it."
At this moment, Zhao Fei was speechless. More accurately, from the moment Xiaosuisui took out her pouch—first a small medicine bottle, then a little booklet, and finally, even after she put a medicine packet and a hairpin inside it, the pouch didn’t seem to change in appearance—he felt completely bewildered. It all felt like a dream, right up until Suisui handed him the prescription.
"Th-thank you! Miss, what’s your name? How can I ever repay you in the future?"
Xiaosuisui giggled. "My second maternal uncle says that practicing medicine is to help the world and save people, not to seek repayment."
These words indeed came from Ji Youran.
However, when Ji Youran later learned that she had given away the Divine Medicine, the Rejuvenation Pill, just like that—not only for no money but also claiming it was to help the world and save people, seeking no reward—he wanted to spit out a mouthful of blood on the spot.
Xie Pan’Er took out all her silver and gave it to Zhao Fei.
Zhao Fei refused. "Miss, you and this young lady have already helped us so much; we cannot accept your silver."
"Take it! Compared to a human life, this silver is nothing. I just hope you won’t hate me in the future."
After saying this, Xie Pan’Er forcefully pressed the silver into Zhao Fei’s hand. She didn’t take the preserved fruit from Zhiwei Restaurant and, holding Xiaosuisui’s hand, walked towards the city.
Zhao Fei’s mind was muddled. Although he was a beggar, he could still figure some things out. What did that beautiful young lady mean by her words?She was their benefactor. They hadn’t even thanked her enough, so how could they possibly hate her?What strange people, saying such odd things.
Zhao Fei returned to the City God Temple and sat beside his sister. He touched her small face; it was surprisingly not as hot anymore. "Her fever is going down!" Zhao Fei was overjoyed. That little girl was truly amazing; a single Medicine Pill from her had saved his sister from the brink of death.
"Fei’Er," his mother said, "a drop of kindness must be repaid with a gushing spring. In the future, if you have the chance, you and your sister must repay the life-saving grace of these two young ladies. Understand?"
"Kindness must be repaid, Mother, please rest assured. In the future, I will definitely find our benefactors and repay their kindness."
Speaking of their benefactors, Zhao Fei suddenly slapped his forehead. I’m such a fool! he thought. I actually forgot to ask for the names of our two benefactors!
"What are we to do?" his mother urged. "Quickly, go out and see if you can still catch up to them and ask."
Zhao Fei got up and chased after them but saw no sign of Suisui and Xie Pan’Er. He could only return dejectedly. "Mother, your son is useless. I didn’t catch up to them."
"Never mind," his mother said. "They showed us great kindness; fate will surely bring us together again in the future."
Zhao Fei thumped his head. Mother is right. As he looked up, he saw a booklet lying beside his sister, Zhao Yu. He picked it up and looked. It was the ’Illustrations of Various Plants’ the little girl had mentioned!
The reason Zhao Fei couldn’t find Suisui and Xie Pan’Er was, naturally, because they weren’t walking at this time, but flying on Feifei.
Xie Pan’Er, her face pale, clung tightly to Xiaosuisui, not daring to move an inch.
"Little darling! Can we please walk normally? This... this flying on Feifei... Your Big Sister is so scared..."
