Lotus Hall PT-1

Ever since there was no nightlife, Scarlett woke up earlier than a chicken every day.

Before dawn, she carried a bucket of water out the door.

She went to the ancient well at the entrance of the village to fetch water.

The villagers all woke up early. At this time, there were already a few aunts and young wives fetching water by the ancient well. Everyone was stunned when they saw her.

The news of Scarlett causing a ruckus on the ox cart had spread throughout the village. Everyone knew that she had pulled Thomas off the ox cart. She was a fool after all. When her illness acted up, she even harmed her own cousin.

But …

Why did she come to fetch water so early in the morning?

The little fool never did any work and would only wake up when the sun was high up in the sky.

Scarlett ignored everyone's gazes and calmly went to the ancient well. She put the bucket down to fetch water and carried it home with a shoulder pole.

Everyone only came back to their senses when she walked far away.

Were their eyes playing tricks on them? The little fool just now didn't look foolish at all. She looked very good when she fetched water and walked very well.

After Scarlett finished fetching water, she steamed a basket of meat buns.

She bought a piece of cured meat yesterday and soaked it in water before going to bed. The excess saltiness was soaked out, but the flavor of the cured meat was just right.

The smell of the meat buns wafted out. The dog next door was craving for them.

Scarlett took two buns up the mountain.

Most of the wood ears had been picked by her, but there were still a lot of wild mushrooms.

In fact, the villagers could see these ingredients when they went up the mountain to cut firewood, but most people didn't dare to pick them. First, they couldn't tell the difference between poisonous mushrooms. Second, they didn't know how to remove the poison in fresh wood ears.

After Scarlett finished picking the mushrooms, she went directly to the market.

The eastern part of the town was a relatively wealthy and prosperous area. The best medical centers and restaurants were there. The academy were also there. In contrast, the western part of the town was much more complicated. There were markets, workshops, gambling houses, brothels … all sorts of things.

Scarlett arrived at the market and randomly found an open space to set up a stall.

The woman next to her still remembered her and smiled at her. "You're here. Do you still have the mushrooms you picked last time? My grandson likes it. Can you give me some more? "

The auntie sold sweet potatoes. The price of sweet potatoes was not comparable to the price of the mushrooms on the mountain. However, Scarlett did not care. She nodded and handed the basket to her, letting her take it herself.

The auntie grabbed two handfuls and put in two big and red sweet potatoes for her.

Not long after, the aunt on the other side also came over and said with a smile, "I … can I exchange some radishes with you? I want to stew some for my family too. "

"Mm." Scarlett nodded nonchalantly and signaled her to do it herself with her eyes.

Therefore, the aunt used her two big radishes to exchange for Scarlett's two mushrooms.

After that, a few more hawkers came and one after another used their own side dishes to exchange for Scarlett's mushrooms.

This scene was seen by the two men in the tea stall diagonally across the street.

"Shopkeeper Wang, are you talking about her?" The one who asked was a well-dressed man in his early thirties. He had strong facial features and a tall figure.

A middle aged man in his forties next to him said, "Second Master, it's her."

The second master looked at Scarlett and knit his brows. "Such expensive mountain products, but she exchanged them with such cheap vegetables. Is she stupid? Someone even put rotten food inside, but she didn't say anything. She's really stupid! "

"This … …" Shopkeeper Wang was speechless.

He always felt that she wasn't stupid. She just didn't care.

"Are you sure you didn't make a mistake?" The second master asked.

"When she saved the patient, I was right next to her. I saw with my own eyes that she sewed up that deep and long wound. I won't make a mistake." Shopkeeper Wang gestured as he spoke.

What Shopkeeper Wang didn't say was that he had actually seen her twice. The first time was at this market, so he knew that she would come here to do business.

"How old is she?" The second master knit his brows. No matter what, he couldn't believe that she was the doctor that brought the dead back to life.

She was too young and too poor. She also had that birthmark on her face.

But Shopkeeper Wang wouldn't lie to him.

Last time, the medical disturbance had a great impact. Not only did they offend Doctor Jin, they also made the main hall of the capital very dissatisfied. The second master's position was in jeopardy. He urgently needed a doctor to support the situation.

The second master said, "You go and ask her where her master is. I'm willing to hire her master for a large sum of money."

This girl's medical skills couldn't have come from nothing. Hiring her master would be more reliable than hiring her.

Shopkeeper Wang also felt that this method was feasible. He turned around to ask, but unexpectedly, just as he took a step, a young man fell down. He happened to fall in front of a chicken stall, scaring away all the chickens in the cage.

"Aiya! My chicken! My chicken! "The old man selling the chicken hurriedly went to catch the chickens.

The scene was in chaos.

Shopkeeper Wang and the second master's eyes fell on the young man's body. They were both stunned.

The young man had symptoms of chest tightness, cyanosis, and shortness of breath. These symptoms were almost the same as the symptoms of the patient who had died in their medical hall. But it was more aggressive and urgent. That patient had at least made it home, but this young man was about to suffocate to death.

This was an incurable disease. Even if their medical hall's doctor came, they wouldn't be able to cure him.

At this critical moment, a small and thin figure came out of the crowd. She arrived in front of the young man and tore open his clothes. Then she took out something and stabbed it into his chest!

Everyone sucked in a cold breath!

Was she trying to kill him?

The next second, Scarlett pulled out the needle and a small stream of air leaked out.

Everyone saw that the young man who was about to suffocate to death had his chest suffocated and his breathing returned to normal.

Shopkeeper Wang was dumbfounded, "Do ….. Do we still need to ask her master?"

"Ask my ass!" If their medical hall had such a doctor, that person wouldn't have died that day.

The second master decisively pushed Shopkeeper Wang aside and stood up. He personally walked over to Scarlett.

"You're saying that you want me to be your medical hall's doctor?" After hearing the second master's words, Scarlett fell into deep thought, "Which medical hall are you from?"

The second master smiled and said, "In Clear Spring Town, only our Lotus Hall can be called a medical hall!"

"Oh." She rubbed her chin.

The second master thought that the other party wouldn't agree so easily. He was already prepared for the other party to put on airs. Who would have thought that Scarlett would say, "You came just in time. I was just about to go find you. I can cooperate with Lotus hall, but I'll say it first. I'll only see patients once a month. "

"Once, once?" The second master was stunned. No, you're agreeing? You're not going to be pretentious? Raise the price? No, once. She'll only see patients once a month!

"I'm very busy." Scarlett said seriously.

Busy ….. selling vegetables?

The corner of the second master's mouth twitched as he looked at her basket.

To be honest, he really wasn't satisfied this time. However, doing business was all about gradual progress. First, enter his Lotus Hall's door. Later, when they were familiar with each other, they could slowly haggle.

The second master said, "Okay ….. once it's just once!"

Scarlett stared at him as if the next thing was the most important thing, "Also, I have another condition."

After class, David rushed to the medical hall without stopping.

After the medical disturbance incident, the medical hall's business was a bit bleak. The clerks were listlessly arranging medicinal ingredients in the lobby.

"Is Doctor Jin here?" David stopped a clerk and asked.

The clerk said, "Doctor Jin returned to the capital."

"Then when will he come again?" David asked politely.

"I'm not sure." The clerk said.

"Can you help me ask? My friend's leg has been injured for half a year. Only Doctor Jin can cure him. "David persevered.

The shop assistant looked at him impatiently, "To be honest, Doctor Jin won't be coming again. If you really want to find him for treatment, you can go to the Rose Hall in the capital to find him. However, his consultation fee is very expensive."

"How much?" David asked.

"Ten gold coins."

"What? Ten gold coins? "

David was stunned. Even if he and Ethan worked together, they still wouldn't be able to come up with that much money
