Chapter 598: Gallbladder

Qi Tiandong, who was sitting on the sledge, saw Qiao Ran bending over to pick something up and quickly asked:

"Miss Qiao, have you found it? Is that the gallbladder you are looking for?"

Qiao Ran replied without raising her head:

"Well, it's the gallbladder I'm looking for, thank you! Just wait, I'll find some fruits first, and I'll send you back later."

Upon hearing that it was indeed what Miss Qiao was looking for, Qi Tiandong was very happy and felt that he was finally of some use.

He chuckled and said:

"You're welcome, Miss Qiao. I'm very happy to help you find the medicinal materials you want. I'll go over and help you pick them up too!"

Along the way, although he didn't have to climb the mountain hard while sitting on the sledge, the bumps along the way made his buttocks numb, and he was about to stand up to relieve the numbness!

Qiao Ran ignored him. If he wanted to come to help, he would come. Anyway, the injured person had to pull him back by herself. As long as he was not afraid of foot pain, she was too lazy to care about him.

Qi Tiandong grabbed a nearby tree trunk with his hands and stood up from the sledge with one foot under pressure.

He rubbed his numb butt, then held on to the tree and limped slowly down the slope to the clump of short trees.

He looked at the appearance of the fruits picked up by Qiao Ran, then picked up a branch from the ground, pulled the fallen leaves on the ground, and helped to pick up the small dark brown fruits that were no bigger than a fingernail.

"Miss Qiao, what is the use of this gallbladder? Is it rare? My pharmacy doesn't seem to have this medicinal material."

Qi Tiandong asked carefully while picking up the fruit.

After asking, I felt that I was a little presumptuous. I was afraid that Qiao Ran would think he was nosy, so I quickly said:

"If it's not convenient for the girl to tell you, then forget it. Just pretend I didn't ask!"

He thought that the medicinal materials that Great Doctor Qiao personally went to the mountain to find must be very rare, so he asked too abruptly.

But Qiao Ran replied calmly without raising her head:

"This gallbladder has the effect of clearing away heat and detoxifying, and can treat dysentery, cholera, anthelmintics, and eliminate tumors. The reason why it is not available in drug stores is because not many people know its effects."

When he heard that this small fruit had such a big effect, Qi Tiandong, the young owner of a drug store, his eyes lit up.

"Then, after these gallbladders bear fruit, can I pick some and sell them in the drug store?"

Seeing how carefully he asked, Qiao Ran raised her head and smiled, saying:

"Of course, you discovered it yourself, so you can pick it yourself. However, your Shanrentang is just a pharmacy, not a medical clinic. If no one wants to buy the gallbladder, won't you be able to sell it after you pick it? "

Hearing this, Qi Tiandong looked at Qiao Ran more carefully, lowered his head, and said weakly:

"Ever since my father got this disease and doctors all over the capital couldn't treat it well, I hated myself for not knowing medical skills, otherwise I could have cured my father's disease. I have bought a lot of medical books and am reading them. I hope It can cure my father's disease. Maybe in the future, I will turn Shanrentang into a medical clinic and pharmacy, and I will treat patients in the clinic myself, so as to help more people who have strange diseases that cannot be cured."

Qiao Ran couldn't help but feel a little moved when she heard that the young man had such lofty ambitions and kindness.

She straightened up and looked up at the boy.

I saw that this young man, who was not tall and mighty, seemed to be shining at the moment.

He has a filial piety towards his father, and he can also have empathy for other people who are also unable to see the disease. This filial piety and kindness are enough to prove that he is a kind-hearted young man.

Qiao Ran nodded and gave a rare compliment:

"Yes, you have great ambitions. Your father is proud to have a good son like you."

The young man raised his head suddenly, his eyes full of excitement.

"Miss Qiao, do you agree with my idea? Do you think I can do it?"

Seeing his excited look, Qiao Ran solemnly nodded in affirmation:

"Well, you can definitely do it! You can definitely make your father proud!"

There were tears in the young man's eyes.

Ever since he was a child, his father had high hopes for him, an only child, hoping that he could learn to memorize and identify medicines, inherit the family medicine shop in the future, and carry forward Shanrentang.

But he disappointed his father. He didn't want to just be a drug store keeper like his father and be trapped in this drug store all his life.

He wanted to study and take the imperial examination, become a high official, and bring glory to his family.

Although his father was a little disappointed with his unwillingness to take over the drug store, seeing that his son had greater ambitions, he had no choice but to support him and sent him to school and academies, and he passed the Tongsheng examination.

He originally thought that he would be able to successfully pass the exams as a scholar, a scholar, or even a Jinshi, and at least get an official position.

Unexpectedly, my father suddenly fell ill in bed, and doctors from major medical clinics in the city could not cure him.

However, the aunt who was already married and had children heard the news and returned to her parents' home to take away the family's ancestral pharmacy.

In desperation, he had no choice but to drop out of school and go home to fight with his aunt about taking over the family pharmacy and not to let his father down.

Originally, he thought that he was just a scholar and didn't know much about the operation of a pharmacy, let alone opening a medical clinic to treat diseases and save people.

But now, Miss Qiao, who is the father of a ghost doctor, says that she can succeed and become her father's pride.

Such encouragement made his heart surge, and his heart seemed to be filled with endless fighting spirit and strength.

He must work hard to distribute the medicine well, and work hard to learn medical skills to cure his father's disease, and also help more patients with incurable diseases, so that they can get rid of the pain, have a harmonious family, peace and joy!

Seeing that Qiao Ran had bent down to pick up fruits again, Qi Tiandong quickly wiped the tears on his face with his sleeves and bent down to continue picking up gallbladders.

However, at this moment, Qi Tiandong is no longer the cowardly, unconfident young man who was full of hesitation about the future.

Rather, he is a pillar who is full of confidence and longing for the future, vowing to shoulder the burden of the family and make his father proud of him!

Qiao Ran lowered her head and glanced at the young man from the corner of her eye. Seeing that he had become more confident due to her words, a satisfied smile could not help but flow from the corner of her mouth.

The two of them picked up for a while before picking up two handfuls of clean and intact fruits. Qiao Ran took out a small cloth bag, packed it, and put it into the cloth bag she carried with her.

When she started on her way home again, she didn't need to look for courage anymore. Qiao Ran judged the direction by herself and the speed was faster.

Finally, before the sun set, Qiao Ran pulled Qi Tiandong on the sledge back to Devil's Valley, and then back to her home.

After briefly explaining how she picked up the young man, Qiao Ran hitched her own carriage and drove Qi Tiandong into the city.

In the private room on the second floor of Juxian Building, Mu Er saw the familiar carriage on the street not far away from the window.

He quickly pointed in that direction and motioned to the people in the box to look:

"Master, look, isn't that Miss Qiao's carriage? It's just that she doesn't seem to be here to deliver goods, nor is she going to the General's Mansion. I don't know where she is going in this direction."
