Chapter 845: Chapter 847: Before Departure
"Alright, we’ll do as you say."
Xiaoxiao felt Yang Ming’s idea was excellent. Directly giving Silver to them, the mother and child would definitely refuse it, so they could only secretly give a little aid. Nothing much, just to slightly support them, so they wouldn’t be this miserable, unable to afford medicine when sick.
No matter what, it was this mother and child who took in their family of three, and hearing about their tragic experiences, anyone would feel a sense of compassion.
"Let’s get some sleep early; we’ll be on the road tomorrow," Yang Ming advised.
"Alright."
After they discussed, they went to bed early. After all, the journey was exhausting, and they had to take care of children, which was truly tiring. Apart from waking in the middle of the night to care for Little Liufu, the two slept very deeply, as if they fell asleep as soon as their heads hit the pillow.
The next day, when Xiaoxiao and Yang Ming woke up, Little Liufu was still asleep. They took advantage of this time to wash up, make breakfast, and prepare medicine for Shitou’s mother. After all, she was sick, and it couldn’t be cured with just one dose.
The two were busy in the kitchen when they heard Shitou’s mother’s voice, "Sister."
Xiaoxiao looked up and saw Little Shitou helping his mother standing at the door. She quickly stood up and asked, "Sister-in-law, why are you out of bed? Are you feeling better?"
Shitou’s mother looked in good spirits today and replied, "Yes, I feel better, like strength has returned to my body."
Seeing Shitou’s mother recovering, Xiaoxiao was truly happy for her. Although they just met, they were still worried for the mother and child as they were leaving today. "That’s great, it means the medicine is effective. Sister-in-law, the medicine is ready; you should drink a few more times to fully recover."
Xiaoxiao handed over the herbal medicine that was cooling aside to Shitou’s mother. "Sister-in-law, quickly drink it."
Taking the medicine bowl, Shitou’s mother was deeply moved. Ever since that incident, the villagers deemed her and Little Shitou as bad luck and avoided them. It had been years since anyone showed such care. "Sister, thank you."
"No need to thank, just drink it."
While Shitou’s mother drank her medicine, Xiaoxiao prepared breakfast, "Sister-in-law, let’s have breakfast."
"Alright." This time, the mother and child did not refuse and ate breakfast with Xiaoxiao and Yang Ming.
After breakfast, Xiaoxiao and Yang Ming began to tidy up Little Liufu, nursing him, bathing him, and making him neat and clean.
They then organized what they brought, putting dry food and other items onto the cart.
Shitou’s mother also asked Little Shitou to pick many vegetables from the garden for their journey. Xiaoxiao did not refuse and accepted them.
Once everything was ready, Xiaoxiao held the child and went with Yang Ming to the gate, ready to set off on their journey.
Little Shitou also helped his mother to the gate to see them off, "Uncle, Auntie, please come to our house again if you ever pass by."
"Alright, Little Shitou, Uncle and Auntie are from Yang Family Village in Shanshi County. If you get the chance to go there, you can come find us," Xiaoxiao invited.
"Alright, if I get the chance, I will surely come to find you."
After talking with Little Shitou, Xiaoxiao turned to Shitou’s mother, "Sister-in-law, we’re leaving."
Shitou’s mother nodded, "Alright, be careful on the road. Where are you headed?"
Xiaoxiao smiled and said, "We don’t really know where yet; we are on our way to find the Divine Doctor."
