268 Couldn’t Save Himself
Xue Dafu, Liu Guixia, and Li Hehua went as well, but they would be back earlier today. That was because they had to come back to kill the chicken.
In the morning, the family had already asked the person who went to town today to buy meat, but that person had not come back yet. He would probably be back in the afternoon, so there would naturally be more vegetables in the evening than in the afternoon.
Yu Hongyan carried a basket of vegetable stems to the pig pen at the back to feed the pigs. The vegetables were picked by Li Hehua in the wild when she left in the morning. The two sisters-in-law liked this little pig very much and wanted to raise it until it was big and fat so that they could celebrate New Year with it.
Xue Yifu was still working and making something under the shed.
Jiang Yue wanted to take an afternoon nap, but she didn’t feel like sleeping, so she continued to sit on the threshold with Xue Yan.
She then looked at Shen Yuxuan, who was still immersed in the medical book and pointed at him with her chin, signaling Xue Yan to look over too. She whispered to Xue Yan, “What happened to him in his past life? Were his medical skills particularly good?”
In her opinion, Shen Yuxuan seemed hard-working in this area, had good focus, and had some talent, so his medical skills would definitely be pretty good.
In fact, she didn’t even need Xue Yan’s answer.
“Yes, it was very good.” Xue Yan nodded, his voice was also very low. “But he couldn’t save himself.”
“What do you mean?” Jiang Yue looked at him.
“It’s a literal meaning. He died of an illness in the end. He didn’t even know what illness he had.” After a pause, Xue Yan’s voice became lower, “He was only twenty-three years old when he died.”
Jiang Yue fell silent.
Xue Yan didn’t speak anymore.
The day Shen Yuxuan died was also the day he became the regent.
In his previous life, Shen Yuxuan’s medical skills improved tremendously and his fame grew. Later, because of his superb medical skills, he was called a Divine Doctor by many people.
In his past life, Shen Yuxuan had saved many people, but he had not been able to save himself.
Now that he had been reborn, even if he could change the ending of his family, he really didn’t know how to change the ending of his good friend, Shen Yuxuan.
Even Shen Yuxuan himself didn’t know what the illness was. If it couldn’t be cured, how could he know what the illness was and how to cure it?
Jiang Yue opened her mouth and wanted to ask Xue Yan what kind of illness he had. However, he was not a doctor. If she knew what kind of symptoms he had, she might be able to determine what kind of illness he suffered from. After all, the medical technology in her original world was very advanced, but she did not know how to treat it. There was no point in asking, so she closed her mouth and did not ask.
By the time Shen Yuxuan finished reading the medical book, it was already five in the evening.
“I’ve been watching for so long, why didn’t you guys wake me up?” Shen Yuxuan was very surprised. He was very used to the school’s system. He would read medical books after eating, but not long after, he would have to go to class again.
His page boy would call him to class.
His page boy was not with him today, but his good friend Xue Yan knew his habit. He thought Xue Yan would call him, but he didn’t expect that he would just sit there and wait.
“It’s a day off, and you don’t have to go to class. Why would I call you?” Xue Yan smiled.
“That’s true.” Shen Yuxuan happily put away the medical book and put it back in the medicine box. “Shen Qing, didn’t you say that you still have to herd the cow in the evening? Are we going now?”
“Yup.” Xue Yan stood up.
Jiang Yue also stood up.
“Then I’ll go with you. I haven’t seen the cow yet.” Shen Yuxuan also quickly got up.
“Alright,” he said.
However, after taking two steps, Shen Yuxuan suddenly remembered something and hurriedly said, “Oh right, Shen Qing, our teacher told me to tell you that the jade pendant you dropped was picked up by Wei Zizhan.”
