Chapter 1586 Linjiangxian 7
Everyone in Qichiju was waiting to see Meng Chi's recovery. Meng Chi woke up once that night. Although his eyes could not focus, his head was spinning, and he could not help vomiting after hearing a few more words, the fact that he woke up and called his father and Hua Ruyue "Madam" proved that there was no big problem.
Especially since he can still eat, drink, defecate and urinate, he can just wait for the wounds on his body to heal and then he will fully recover.
The news of Jiang Xinxin's amazing medical skills of bringing the dead back to life has spread. Currently, it is only limited to Songhe County and surrounding areas. But don't forget that there are many merchants coming and going in Songhe County, and the news will sooner or later spread to more distant places.
The county magistrate's wife was the first to come for treatment.
To be honest, even if the upper-class women in this world are not exploited so severely, and even their living environment seems to be quite relaxed, after all, the law stipulates that women can own property and have complete control over their dowries, they still have to make endless compromises for the purpose of reproducing offspring.
The county magistrate's wife originally just wanted to test whether Jiang Xinxin could diagnose some difficult-to-talk-about women's diseases, but she didn't expect that Jiang Xinxin would pick up something she had done before.
Medicinal materials cannot be supplied simply by collecting them in the mountains. Songhe County does have a simple planting industry. The medicinal materials that can be grown are mainly wolfberries, which are easy to care for and have high yields, and can be used as both medicine and food, or coptis chinensis, which is easy to care for and has high yields.
Land is scarce in Songhe County, but if you have money, you can naturally be led to do many things. What's more, the transportation here is well developed, and it is easy to transport products from other places in, and local products are also very easy to transport out. It is easy for Jiang Xinxin to do anything she wants.
What's more, Jiang Xinxin had no intention of grabbing the ready-made cake. Instead, she specialized in treating and prescribing medicine for the women in the inner house, which could be regarded as filling a gap. Even though other doctors were jealous, they could do nothing about it. After all, as men, they also knew the various inconveniences of treating women in the inner house.
In particular, Jiang Xinxin is also willing to train female doctors, teaching them how to take care of women, treat women's illnesses, and protect women's fetuses. Well, for the time being, she will not take on jobs such as assisting pregnancy and childbirth, but this has already benefited the women of Songhe County a lot.
Jiang Xinxin devoted herself to these things, so naturally she paid less attention to the situation between Hua Ruyue and Bai Jiusi. When Hua Ruyue saw that Jiang Xinxin could help mortals in this way, she changed her previous behavior of only giving her silver and pills. She was more willing to think more about mortals and did things more steadily.
Meng Chi survived successfully. Out of guilt, Hua Ruyue couldn't help but use her magic power to make up for the huge physical loss caused by Meng Chi's serious injury. However, she suffered a backlash that night. While Bai Jiusi felt sorry for her, he couldn't help but dislike Meng Chi.
Jiang Xinxin was busy with her own career and didn't know that Hua Ruyue had suffered a backlash. She had no interaction with Bai Jiusi. Later, Bai Jiusi gave up on keeping an eye on her, and she became even more lazy to care about Bai Jiusi. Of course, she never expected that Bai Jiusi would take the initiative to find her one day.
After looking at Bai Jiusi's visiting card for a long time, Jiang Xinxin still couldn't figure out what it meant. The card only said that he, Bai Jiusi, had something important to discuss with her and hoped that she could make time to come tomorrow.
Jiang Xinxin directly asked Chunhua to go to Qichiju and ask Hua Ruyue if she knew what was going on. However, Hua Ruyue didn't know either and only asked Chunhua to reply that she would come with Bai Jiusi.
Jiang Xinxin had to put down what she was doing and prepare to entertain Bai Jiusi and Hua Ruyue.
Bai Jiusi had nothing to offer. The refreshments Jiang Xinxin had prepared were all tailored to Hua Ruyue's preferences. After a few pleasantries, Bai Jiusi got straight to the point: "Master Yuan Xin, are you aware that the people in the city are secretly preparing a temple for you?"
"Huh? What temple?" Jiang Xinxin couldn't believe what she heard. "Mr. Bai, what do you know? Please speak frankly."
Hua Ruyue ate the snacks prepared by Jiang Xinxin and heard Bai Jiusi complaining about Jiang Xinxin. Seeing Bai Jiusi's attitude was too cold, she quickly tried to smooth things over. "Alas, Yuan Xin, you don't have to worry. The people in the city are grateful for your effectiveness in ensuring women get pregnant, so they've quietly set up a longevity tablet for you. The wealthy families think that a longevity tablet isn't enough, so they're planning to build a temple to venerate you."
Jiang Xinxin was speechless, "This is just nonsense!"
She had no interest in taking on any divine duties or receiving any incense in the small world. Of course, she couldn't say she looked down on Bai Jiusi and Hua Ruyue, the two local immortals, in person. She felt it was very troublesome, so she could only be tactful and say, "Everything I do is just what I want to do. They are just roasting me on the fire."
Although Bai Jiusi didn't like Jiang Xinxin's instigation of Hua Ruyue to always hang out with mortals, he also understood that her previous actions were all beneficial to the people's livelihood. He just felt that since Jiang Xinxin hadn't ascended to heaven yet, mortals had built a temple for her, and there would definitely be constant incense in the future. Her claim that she was roasted on a rack was not false.
Therefore, Bai Jiusi suggested: "The best plan now is for you, Master Yuan Xin, to quickly step forward and dispel those people's thoughts. At the same time, you should intensify your cultivation and strive to ascend to heaven as soon as possible. This way, you can legitimately enjoy the incense offerings of the mortal world."
Jiang Xinxin quickly waved her hands: "I can't afford the incense and offerings!"
Hua Ruyue herself didn't even have a temple in the mortal world, as she hadn't yet ascended to the Xuantian realm. So, seeing Jiang Xinxin avoiding incense and offerings, she couldn't help but feel curious: "Yuan Xin, I'm curious, what exactly is the purpose of your cultivation? And why do you seem to avoid the incense and offerings of the mortal world?"
Jiang Xinxin said frankly, "I practice cultivation only to strengthen and enhance my own body. I help mortals because I see some of their suffering, and I happen to have the ability to alleviate or relieve it. It's all just a coincidence."
"If I enjoy the incense of the mortal world, I will have implicitly signed a contract with mortals, and it will become a necessity when the opportunity arises. This will hinder my state of mind."
Bai Jiusi couldn't help but look at Jiang Xinxin with admiration. To be honest, he thought Jiang Xinxin was like Hua Ruyue, who couldn't stand the weak. He didn't expect that the other party's ideas were closer to his.
Hua Ruoyue was a little bit unconvinced. Jiang Xinxin had clearly personally helped to relieve the suffering of mortal women, but she acted as if all beings were equal, but in fact she was just watching coldly.
"But the gods have an obligation to relieve mortals from suffering!"
Jiang Xinxin nodded, agreeing earnestly with Hua Ruyue's words. "Yes, some gods are born to relieve mortals' suffering. But I know I'm not that kind of god, and mortals don't necessarily need gods. Although their lifespans are short, their brains and limbs are very useful. They won't easily raise their heads to pray to the gods unless they have reached a point where they see no other hope."
