Chapter 9: Medical Center

Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios

On the way down the mountain, it was the same as yesterday. She did not even see a snake. She only noticed it when she released her mental strength.

Li Fu’er had never walked the road to the county city before, but she had seen people walk it and asked how to get there.

In the past, although she was too weak to do anything, she would find a way to memorize everything she needed to escape.

On the way, she was afraid of meeting someone she knew and chose not to take the ox cart.

Of course she didn’t have any coppers to ride in one either. She didn’t have a penny on her now.

If she had some, she would consider it.

However, most people in the village walked to town. As the journey to the county was much longer, most of the time they took an ox cart.

Those who could not bear to spend their copper coins would walk.

She wasn’t much different from these people.

It was similar to when she was in the mountains. Along the way, she would release her mental powers in advance to look around to see if there was anyone she knew, just in case.

If her mental strength was enough, she might keep releasing it!

After an hour of walking, she saw someone familiar. It was a middle-aged woman talking to a short, middle-aged man beside her. She was walking toward them.

She wasn’t sure if the man was from the village or if she was mistaken.

Just as she was about to look again, the middle-aged woman seemed to sense something and spoke to the short, middle-aged man beside her. She looked over.

In order not to attract attention, Li Fu’er looked away and pretended that nothing had happened.

She also remembered that she had deliberately dirtied her face with carbon dust before she came. If the other party didn’t look closely, she shouldn’t be able to recognize her immediately.

After that, she walked faster. The middle-aged woman didn’t call her. Not long after, she vaguely heard the woman behind her say, “I think I know the little girl who went past me just now. Who is she? I can’t remember.”

Li Fu’er was relieved to hear that and quickened her pace.

Not long after, she arrived at the county town.

She didn’t go in right away. Instead, she found a secluded spot and took some of the items in the space she had for sale and wrapped them in sheets.

Yes, sheets.

Besides, she couldn’t find anything else to store the wild vegetables in other than the bedsheets.

When she was done, she walked forward.

As she approached, she realized that the city gate tower in front of her was completely different from what she had imagined. She had thought that even if the county gate at this time was not comparable to a modern small county town, it should be not bad.

She hadn’t expected this. The low walls, the soldiers guarding the gates and the civilians entering the city. It was obvious that they were poor. Like the county, it was run-down and small.

As this thought flashed through her mind, she lowered her head and did not show it. She quickly approached the city gate. The soldiers guarding the city gate did not make things difficult for her when she entered the city. It was as if she could enter whenever she wanted!

She expected to have to pay a copper to enter the city or something, but she had heard some of it from her family and didn’t know much.

It was probably because she arrived too late in the morning and therefore didn’t need to pay.

On the way here, she had also thought that if she could not enter the city casually after coming here, she would think of another way!

Now that she didn’t have to go through so much trouble, she let it go. She walked through the city gates and into the city.

There was a noise that came from far away at once. Looking around, she realized that the inside of the county town that she had visited for the first time was a little better than the outside. It was just a little dirty. It made her think involuntarily of ancient Europe, which she had known in her previous life.

This was the case in ancient Europe. The streets were dirty and messy, and some people even urinated and defecated on the streets. Today, this county city was similar to ancient Europe. Once again, it shattered her impression of ancient county cities!

On closer inspection, dirty didn’t even begin to describe it. She could smell a strange odor. Did that smell like shit and urine?

But what hadn’t she smelled it in this life? The first thing she saw when she opened her eyes every day was chicken shit and pig shit.

After walking for a while, she saw people. She followed the direction of the crowd and asked around. After a while, she found a place she had to go: the vegetable market.

The market was dirtier and messier than she thought. The smell was worse!

People everywhere shouted!

She looked around and found a stall selling bamboo baskets.

She took out a pheasant wrapped in a sheet and initiated an exchange.

Although the pheasant she caught today was not fat, it was very fresh.

The stall owner was a man, big and burly. He glanced at her, then at the pheasant in her hand. His eyes lit up. He wanted to hesitate—

“You don’t want it?” Li Fu’er asked.

“Little girl, you’re quite bold to ask me this! A pheasant for a basket?”

“Yes, if you don’t want to exchange it, I’ll find someone else.” Li Fu’er nodded. She felt a number of people looking at her and asked if he could hurry. She didn’t want to wait.

The burly man thought for a moment and nodded. “You’re at a loss!”

Li Fu’er didn’t say anything. After the exchange, she glanced at the people at the side.

These people saidm “Do you have any more pheasants, young lady?” All of them stared at her and at the wrapped sheet in her hand, as if they wanted to see something and exchange goods for it.

Of course, Li Fu’er would not agree.

She knew a truth. She was too young to be safe in ancient times.

After shaking her head, she left. She walked past all the places that sold vegetables and took a look. She knew that not many people would want her wild vegetables even if she took them out.

There were too many people selling wild vegetables!

It was mainly because there were many wild vegetables in summer. It would be different in winter.

After thinking for a while, she found a place and took out the wild ginseng and herbs from the space and wrapped them in the bedsheets. She put them in the basket and went around the medical center in the county city.

The entire county city was neither big nor small. It was impossible for it to not have a medical center. As expected, after asking around, she found out that there were a total of two medical centers in the county city. The Zhou Corporation’s medical center was better, but the Zhao family’s medical center was worse!

To her, either of the two clinics was fine!

She went to the Zhao Clinic, which was located in a corner of the county city.

It was not big, but it had very noisy surroundings. There was a restaurant which was a little spacious.

She approached the clinic and saw that there were few people inside. She stepped forward and entered.

The server in the medical center was greeting the people at the side. When he heard a voice and saw her, he looked up and down at the basket in her hand. He wanted to say something but didn’t. “Little girl, why did you come to our medical center?”

“I have something to discuss with the owner of your clinic. I want to see the person who can make the decisions in your clinic.”

Li Fu’er opened her mouth and said nothing unnecessary.

She knew that based on her appearance, he might not take her seriously. Perhaps he was wondering what she was here for? She might as well tell him what she had in mind.

“You said you wanted to see our boss?” The server was surprised that she would say that.

“I dug up some herbs. There are good herbs. I wonder if your clinic will accept them?” Li Fu’er said, raising the basket.

“Herbs? What herbs did you dig out? They’re top-notch!”

The server was really surprised when he heard this, but why didn’t he believe her? The little girl in front of him had presented herbs in a basket.

It was a scam, right?

Looking at her dirty appearance and short and thin appearance, it was obvious that she was from the countryside. What kind of medicinal herbs did a country girl from the countryside know? Even if she did know any, she wouldn’t know how to prepare them! It was better to chase her away!

After thinking about it, he said, “Go away. Don’t disturb our business here. We don’t let just anyone come here! No one will believe you just because you say so! Who are you? Get out!”

He drove her away.

Li Fu’er had expected this. She had imagined this scene. She didn’t care. She knew no one would believe her if she didn’t put out something. She didn’t leave. She remained standing, holding the basket. “How do you know if there isn’t anything if you don’t take a look?”

She had to take something out.

“You.” You still want to lie to me? The server was even angrier that she wasn’t leaving. He was about to say more things.

“You’re really not going to look at it?” Li Fu’er asked.

“No, no, no. How dare you!”
