Chapter 394: Chapter 394: Foreigners
The man in dark clothes snorted, "What do you know? I asked the inn’s shopkeeper, and this Doctor Gu from Renxin Hall is the best doctor in Xiang City."
"They say she can even bring the dead back to life and cure the blind."
Another guard said, "Is she really that miraculous?"
He looked at the man reclining on the bed, "If she’s really that amazing, why don’t we invite her back to treat the lady."
The man on the bed slowly nodded, "Let’s inquire more first. If it’s true, then once I recover tomorrow, I’ll invite her personally."
He glanced at the clothes thrown on the chair by the guard, "We really need to buy some lighter clothes."
Meanwhile, Yun Jiao and Lin Shuo left the inn. After walking a while, Lin Shuo suddenly said, "Those people earlier were from Jin Country."
Yun Jiao raised an eyebrow. No wonder when they spoke, they had a foreign feel to them.
Lin Shuo’s expression was somewhat grave, "Jin Country is located in the bitter cold north, where temperatures are usually very low, and it snows starting from September or October. These people probably haven’t experienced such hot weather before and were unprepared. Their bodies couldn’t adapt, which is why they got heatstroke."
Yun Jiao nodded slightly, then heard Lin Shuo sigh, "Jin Country is ambitious. Now Great Chu and Jin Country have joined forces to attack Liao Country, sworn to destroy it. Little do they know, once Liao Country falls, disturbing the balance of power among the three kingdoms, without Liao restraining Jin, Jin’s iron cavalry would march into Great Chu."
Yun Jiao had no knowledge of this world’s power dynamics.
Upon hearing Lin Shuo’s explanation, she said, "Can’t the people at the top see this?"
Lin Shuo smirked bitterly, "Haha, the court is corrupt and incompetent from top to bottom. The ruler only indulges in fine food and art. Who knows how many are dreaming of reclaiming the Yanyun Sixteen Prefectures after Liao’s downfall."
Yun Jiao thought for a moment, and it indeed seemed somewhat similar to the historical Northern Song scenario.
But she just thought of it casually and then dismissed it. Matters of state affairs had nothing to do with her; saving a few more patients was a great merit.
Lin Shuo also stopped discussing after this. The two returned to the shop.
As soon as they got back to the shop, they saw Mrs. Chen coming in with a watermelon.
Feeling hot, Yun Jiao exclaimed, "Wow, where did you buy the watermelon, Mom?"
Mrs. Chen gestured outside with her mouth, "There are a few carts selling it outside. It’s expensive, but many people are buying."
Yun Jiao quickly took out a piece of silver, "Ah Hu, hurry and buy more watermelons."
"A few aren’t enough. I need watermelons to make medicine as well."
Ah Hu cheerfully took the silver, grabbed a sack from the backyard, and went out.
Not long after, he came back carrying a sack of watermelons.
Yun Jiao giggled, "These will last us a few days."
"Hang two in the well first."
Ah Hu agreed and carried the watermelons to the backyard.
Curious, Shen Qing asked, "Doctor Gu, did you say earlier that you would use watermelon to make medicine? Can watermelon really be made into medicine?"
Yun Jiao smiled, "I’ll make it shortly. It’s very simple; you can learn just by watching."
Shen Qing still felt a bit tense, "This recipe isn’t some secret formula, is it?"
Yun Jiao shook her head, "No, it’s very simple. Other shops should have it too. I read about it in a book."
She pulled out a small piece of broken silver and gave it to Shen Qing, "Go to the grocery store and buy a few jars so we can make the medicine later."
She instructed further, "Get clay jars, and they must be the unglazed kind."
