Chapter 55 - 055 He Xuewen
"No, I’m not from Wangjiazhen. I’m heading to Luoling Village to pick some herbs on Daqing Mountain," the man explained with a smile, taking out a Xin’anjiang Cigarette from his shirt pocket and offering it to Zhong Fugao.
"Oh, so you’re a doctor! No wonder you look so refined!" Zhong Fugao accepted the cigarette, tucking it behind his ear and immediately becoming enthusiastic. Doctors are always respected.
"I’m not really a doctor; I just know a bit about medicine." The man modestly said. A gust of cold wind blew by, and he started coughing again, more severely this time, for quite a while without stopping. The boy kept patting the man’s back and took a water flask from the backpack he was carrying to give the man a drink.
Tian Sisi couldn’t help but feel pained; she really felt it strange, what was going on with her today, why did she care so much about a stranger she didn’t know?
"Comrade, what’s wrong? You seem unwell?" Zhong Fugao asked with concern.
It took a while for the man to stop coughing. After drinking some water and wiping his lips with a handkerchief, he answered lightly, "It’s nothing; I injured my lungs when I was younger, and it’s never fully healed. I’m going to Daqing Mountain this time to find some medicinal herbs to concoct a remedy for the injury."
"Injuring your lungs is no small matter, you should take advantage of your youth to heal it properly, otherwise, it will be troublesome when you’re older."
"Yes, I’ve been regularly taking medicine, but it only serves to prevent it from getting worse. It’s not very likely to fully cure it."
