140 Lu Jiao would for sure Stay

Because of that 5,000 taels of silver, Lu Jiao was in a great mood. She took out more antibiotics and gave them to Qi Lei.

“This is left by my Master. Give it to the patient three times a day and his wound won’t rot.”

As a doctor, Qi Lei knew right away how this worked. Normally, they would brew detoxifying medicine to help with inflammation. Sadly, those medicines usually work very slowly while the pill his Master had worked quickly and effectively.

Qi Lei was a little too excited, “Master, if we can produce these pills, the entire dynasty would benefit from it.”

Lu Jiao raised an eyebrow, “It’s not too complicated to make this medicine. However, I’m missing one ingredient that I don’t know where to get it from.”

“What is it?”

Qi Lei asked worriedly. If their pharmacy could stock up on this, the entire Zhou Dynasty would explode.

“Potash mine.”

There were many uses for pota.s.sium salt. She was looking to get pota.s.sium ions out of the pota.s.sium salt and combine it with penicillin to make penicillin V pota.s.sium tablets. Though those tablets would be weaker than penicillin itself, the anti-inflammatory effect was strong.

That was the one antibiotic she could think of making right now. She could also turn penicillin into a liquid, but that would require her to inject the liquid. How would she produce syringes and needles?

Qi Lei was in shock. He’s never heard of a potash mine.

“Master?”

Qi Lei wanted to ask more but Cla.s.smate Han had come back with Dr. s.h.i.+.

“Yunjin’s wife, it’s almost morning. Let’s head back.”

Lu Jiao nodded and said farewell to Qi Lei. She got onto Cla.s.smate Han’s carriage and they headed back to the village.

By the time they arrived, the Sun was already up. Many households had gotten up and heard about Dr. Qi coming in the middle of the night to ask Lu Jiao for help. They heard there was a critical patient and the doctor had no choice but to invite Yunjin’s wife.

The story meant Yunjin’s wife was a better doctor than Dr. Qi. If someone from the village got sick, they no longer needed to go into town. They could just go to Yunjin’s wife.

By the time Lu Jiao got home, the four little ones had already woken up and were talking to Xie Yunjin.

“Daddy, when’s mommy coming back?”

“She’ll be back when the morning comes.”

“What if she doesn’t come back when it’s morning?”

The four little ones were worried. Xie Yunjin saw how anxious they were and became sure of one thing: he was going to make Lu Jiao stay. If she left, the children would be so unhappy. Children needed their mother’s company.

He felt that if he told Lu Jiao to stay, she would happily stay. After all, he could tell how much she liked the four little ones.

Just then, they heard a horse gallop. At once, the four little ones rolled out of bed like eels and ran outside.

Lu Jiao came into the yard and the children crowded her immediately, “Mommy, you’re back.”

“Ah, why are you up so early? Why not sleep more?”

The Fourth Born pouted, “I was worried and couldn’t sleep.”

Lu Jiao giggled at how adult he was acting and patted his head, “In the end, my son loves me the most.”

The Second and Third Born instantly added, “Mommy, I was worried about you too! I couldn’t sleep!”

Lu Jiao was now even happier as she grinned at them, “I didn’t raise you for nothing! Are you tired? Do you want to sleep more?”

The four little ones shook their heads, “No, it’s okay.”

As they chatted, they walked towards the east bedroom. Inside, Xie Yunjin was sitting up straight already. By now, he could move around freely as long as he didn’t put weight on his legs.

“Are you tired? Do you want to go to sleep?” Xie Yunjin asked caringly.

Lu Jiao shook her head, “It’s okay. I’m ok not sleeping for one night.”

She’s been conditioning her body with the spiritual stream water and she’s been feeling pretty good.

Xie Yunjin didn’t persist and asked about the patient.

“What happened to the sick?”

Lu Jiao answered, “He’s not sick, he was. .h.i.t by an arrow. They invited me over to see if I can remove the arrowhead.”

Her words resulted in Xie Yunjin’s face darkening. He turned to Cla.s.smate Han, who quickly chimed in, “The wounded is likely some character. His people didn’t let me in so I don’t know what happened inside the room.”

Xie Yunjin couldn’t help but frown. He asked Lu Jiao suspiciously, “Someone as amazing as Dr. Qi couldn’t handle an arrow wound?”

Lu Jiao saw how skeptical Xie Yunjin was. She didn’t want him to dwell on it so she explained quickly, “He needed someone there to coordinate with him. When you pull out an arrow, you have to stop the bleeding immediately so you can close the wound. He’s new to Qili and didn’t trust others for the job.”

Lu Jiao didn’t want to stay on this topic in case she let something slip.

“It’s late. I will go make breakfast.”

She then decisively went out with the children. Soon after, Lin Chunyan walked in.

“Third aunt, I’m here to help you cook.”

Lu Jiao knew declining her was useless so she simply smiled, “Okay, you can help me with the porridge. I’m going to get some sheep milk.”

She promised the four little ones they’d get milk today.

The sheep was very sweet and didn’t even get mad when she milked it.

Sheep milk is very gamey. Lu Jiao added some vinegar in there to soften the taste. It would be best if she could add almonds. Sadly, she didn’t have that and could only use vinegar.

Despite adding vinegar to balance out the taste, the four little ones still didn’t like the taste. They didn’t really want to keep drinking after a few sips.

Lu Jiao lectured them, “Milk is great for people. Right now, you are weak and short. You need this to grow taller and stronger. That way, you won’t have to be scared if others bully you.”

After her speech, the Second Born straight up chugged the milk. The First, Third, and Fourth Born also drank it.

Despite finis.h.i.+ng it, the little guys still frowned and complained, “It’s disgusting.”

Lu Jiao pinched their cheeks, “You’ll get used to it once you drink it daily. Imagine yourselves all grown up, tall, and even more handsome than your daddy.”

The Third Born’s eyes lit up. Taller and more handsome than daddy? He liked that.

He promised Lu Jiao, “Mommy, I will drink milk every day.”

The Fourth Born also nodded, “I will too. I want to be taller than daddy and protect mommy in the future.”

“Then I will count on you.”

The First Born added, “Me too, me too! I will protect you.”

Lu Jiao smiled at the four little guys. The thought of leaving them soon made her so sad.

Inside the east bedroom, Xie Yunjin heard the conversation outside and raised an eyebrow. He was getting more and more certain that as long as he asked, Lu Jiao would stay.
