Pharmacy

"Who are you?" the servant asked.

"Shen Chuan asked us to come over," Su Xiaoxiao said.

The servant looked at the two of them suspiciously. One was a fat village girl and the other was a poor boy. No matter how he looked at it, they did not seem to be able to get along with Young Master Shen.

"That's right," Su Ergou said. "He even said that this academy is owned by his family!"

The Wutong Academy was opened by the Shen family. It was no secret that the only son of the Shen family was called Shen Chuan.

The servant still did not believe the two of them.

"Sister," Su Ergou said, "Could that Shen Chuan be lying to us? He asked us to set up a stall here, but we couldn't even see him."

"Can we set up a stall here?" he asked the manservant.

"No," the servant refused.

Su Ergou said to Su Xiaoxiao, "Sister, look!"

Su Xiaoxiao pondered for a moment. "When we see Shen Chuan, we'll ask him what's going on."

"Still want to see him?" Su Ergou curled his lips and muttered, "We can't even enter the door!"

Su Xiaoxiao turned around. "Shall we go through the small door?"

Su Ergou was stunned. "What?"

Fifteen minutes later, the two of them arrived at the back door of the Wutong Academy.

This place was much quieter than the front door. The guard was an old man.

The old man was sitting on a chair and looked like he was about to fall asleep. It was a skill to fall asleep in the cold wind in the middle of winter.

Su Ergou whispered, "Sister, what if this person doesn't let us in?"

"Let's try it first."

Su Xiaoxiao prepared for the worst. If she couldn't go in the back door, she would wait for the students at the academy to finish school.

"Grandpa, I'm looking for Shen Chuan," Su Xiaoxiao said to the old man.

The old man opened one of his eyelids and glanced at her lazily before closing his eyes again.

'What does that mean?'

"Can I go in?"

The old man continued to rest.

"If you don't say anything, I'll go in."

Su Xiaoxiao paused and said to Su Ergou, "Go to the front door and wait. If Shen Chuan comes out from there, tell him that I've gone in to look for him."

Su Ergou said, "Okay, Sister!"

Su Xiaoxiao entered the academy.

The Wutong Academy was very big, and she actually did not know where Shen Chuan was.

A student in a white school uniform brushed past her.

She stopped him. "Young Master, have you seen Shen Chuan?"

The other party looked at her strangely. It was unknown if he was wondering why such a chubby girl existed in this world or why this fat girl came to look for Shen Chuan.

Su Xiaoxiao smiled. "He asked me to sell him something. I'm here to deliver it."

"I see." The other party nodded and pointed southeast. "He should be in class. If you want to send something, send it to that courtyard."

"Thank you very much."

Su Xiaoxiao thanked him and walked towards the courtyard.

Along the way, she did not forget to admire the scenery.

So this was the ancient academy. It was not as exquisite and glamorous as in movies. It was just an ordinary house.

From time to time, the voices of the teachers and the scholars could be heard. Su Xiaoxiao listened and unknowingly arrived at the courtyard.

A servant was sweeping the snow. When he saw a fat village girl, he couldn't help but pause.

Su Xiaoxiao said, "I'm looking for Shen Chuan."

The servant looked at her deeply and did not say anything. He turned around and brought her into the courtyard.

He gestured for Su Xiaoxiao to wait in the room while he went out to do something.

Su Xiaoxiao placed the basket on the table and sat on the chair for a while, thinking about asking the servants when Shen Chuan would come.

When she left the house, it was snowing again. Large patches of snow fell silently like goose feathers.

"Eh? Where's that person? Why did he disappear?"

Su Xiaoxiao could only return to the room to wait.

When he passed by the gate in the second courtyard, a man coughed violently from a room in the back.

"Shen Chuan, is that you?"

She asked.

The coughing became worse, accompanied by dry retching, the kind that almost coughed out the lungs.

Su Xiaoxiao frowned and quickly went to the room.

It was not Shen Chuan.

It was a young man in his early twenties. He was half lying on the edge of the bed, coughing until he was sweating and his blood was surging. His entire face was red.

Su Xiaoxiao hurried to the bed and helped him sit up. Her legs hung under the bed.

The man's temperature was high, and Su Xiaoxiao could feel a burning sensation in her palm. This was much hotter than Wei Ting's.

Su Xiaoxiao didn't bring a first-aid bag out, so she could only use her hand to measure his forehead temperature.

"I'm afraid your fever has reached 40 degrees." Su Xiaoxiao unbuttoned his shirt and leaned over to listen to his heart. "Take a deep breath. Vomit when I ask you to."

The man's reaction was very poor and he couldn't understand what Su Xiaoxiao said.

Su Xiaoxiao frowned and took his pulse again.

Su Xiaoxiao made a diagnosis based on his breathing sounds, symptoms, and pulse. The preliminary diagnosis was acute pneumonia.

In ancient times when even a cold could kill, pneumonia was definitely a serious illness. He had been infected for a few days and had not received timely and effective treatment, causing his condition to worsen.

If this continued, there was no guarantee that it would not cause complications like pleurisy. In serious cases, it might even endanger his life.

However, she did not have any medicine to treat pneumonia.

As she was thinking, she suddenly felt her vision flash.

She subconsciously closed her eyes. When she opened them again, she saw the base's pharmacy.

She was standing in the internal medicine area. The medicine cabinet in front of her was filled with an entire row of antibiotics and anti-viral medicine. Surprisingly, these were just the medicine required to treat acute pneumonia.

Su Xiaoxiao started to get the medicine.

This time, she didn't see an empty first aid kit, but she had brought a small basket.

"Oh right, there's also Father Su's medicine!"

She quickly walked towards the surgical area, but before she could carefully screen, her vision flashed again and she left the pharmacy.

She looked down at the bottle of bone-strengthening pills she had grabbed in a hurry and confirmed that she had really entered.

She checked her little basket again.

The medicine was all there. Therefore, she obtained those pills.

But why couldn't she enter last time? Was there some special trigger condition?

Also, she came out before she finished taking it. Was there a time limit?

Su Xiaoxiao couldn't figure it out, so she stopped thinking about it.

She took out a thermometer and took his temperature. His fever had indeed reached forty degrees.

Su Xiaoxiao injected a dose of antipyretic needles into his muscles and gave him a skin test for antibiotics.

The skin test went well so she quickly fed him the medicine.
