The unlucky guy was reborn as a lucky girl from a farm

Chapter 534: Lard Blinded

Therefore, Zhao Jincheng could not help but praise him, "You are worthy of being my good disciple. Although you are still young, you have such a calm and composed mind. You are really calm in the face of adversity. I am very satisfied with you. Not bad, not bad!"

Hearing the master's praise, Ni'er's big eyes, which were already curved like crescent moons, narrowed into slits.

With a half-smile, he asked back: "Master, are you praising me, your disciple, or are you using this praise to show off your own good teaching?"

After saying that, he winked at Zhao Jincheng mischievously.

Zhao Jincheng was stunned at first, then he burst into laughter, stretched out his hand and gently touched Ni'er's forehead, and said: "You are such a clever girl! Since you are as clear as a mirror in your heart, I will not waste any more words with you."

Ni'er stuck out her tongue mischievously and said coquettishly, "Humph, who made me your favorite disciple? I got all my cleverness from you."

Her lively big eyes flickered, flashing a cunning light.

Zhao Jincheng shook his head helplessly, waved his hands with a wry smile, and said in a conceding manner: "Oh my, fine, fine, my little ancestor, your teacher can't argue with you!"

He looked at the quirky disciple in front of him, his heart filled with love and doting.

After resting for a while, Nier had to go back to work because she still had a task to complete - to boil medicine for several patients.

Several clay pots sat steadily on the stove. As the fire grew stronger, the water in the pots began to boil and white steam rose continuously, floating in the air.

Nier stared quietly at the rising steam, and her thoughts involuntarily returned to this morning.

At that time, when those patients saw her, their expressions looked a little strange, as if they wanted to say something, but in the end they stopped themselves.

What was even more strange was that Nier clearly caught a hint of disgust and fear in their eyes.

But since they were unwilling to explain the reason, Nier felt that there was no need for her to ask more questions.

After all, as long as these patients can drink the medicine and recover, that is enough to avoid complications and unnecessary trouble.

After some patient waiting, the medicine was finally ready.

Nier carefully poured the boiling hot medicine into a bowl, waited for it to cool down a little, and then neatly packed it into a food box.

After everything was packed up, he picked up the food box without hesitation and walked briskly towards where the patients were.

"Uncle Li, it's time to take your medicine!" Ni'er called softly.

"Hey~" Hearing Ni'er's voice, Uncle Li quickly responded.

However, when his eyes fell on the medicine bowl in Nier's hand, his movements suddenly became hesitant, and the hand that was originally stretched out to take the medicine stopped in mid-air.

Uncle Li's eyes moved back and forth between Ni'er and the medicine bowl several times.

After hesitating for a long time, he finally couldn't help but ask, "You...you shouldn't have put anything else in this medicine, right?"

The moment he said this, Uncle Li realized that his question was inappropriate.

I couldn't help but feel annoyed inwardly: Oh, it's all my fault. I'm so confused at my age. Even if someone really released something, how could they tell me so easily?

Nier put the medicine bowl aside, then lowered her head, looked straight at Uncle Li who was lying there, and asked softly, "Uncle Li, did you hear those people outside say that I was murdering people for money?"

Uncle Li was stunned when he heard Ni'er ask this question so bluntly. He never expected that such words would come out of the mouth of this little girl so calmly.

For a moment, he seemed a little flustered and overwhelmed, and stammered in response: "This... I..."

However, Ni'er was already certain in her heart that the reason why Uncle Li had been unwilling to drink the medicine was definitely because he was influenced by those rumors.

So she immediately asked, "Uncle Li, is your family rich?"

Uncle Li just shook his head slowly, with a look of helplessness and sadness on his face.

He sighed and said, "Alas, my family doesn't have much money! My old wife got sick and took a lot of medicine but she didn't get better. In the end, she passed away."

"I spent a lot of money to build a house for my son and to marry him off. I'm in debt now!"

"I really don't know if I will ever have the chance to pay off these debts in my lifetime."

Having said that, Uncle Li sighed deeply, his eyes full of fatigue and confusion.

"Fortunately, I have the government to take care of me. I not only have food to eat here, but also medicine to take when I'm sick. Otherwise..."

Uncle Li wiped away his tears excitedly as he spoke.

After listening to what Uncle Li said, Ni'er nodded slightly and sighed in her heart: It turns out that every family has its own problems!

"You must be very familiar with the plague. Once you are infected, it is very dangerous. Only a few people can survive by chance."

"If I really wanted to kill for money, why would I go to such great lengths?"

“It takes a lot of time and energy to make the medicine so many times every day.”

"If I really wanted to harm you, I could just reduce the dosage, or even cut corners when boiling the medicine!"

"But look at you now. Your complexion is much rosier than when you first arrived here, and you are obviously more energetic."

Nier looked at the other person sincerely and said, "There are rumors outside that I am murderous for money. Do you think so too?"

Uncle Li suddenly felt dazed, thinking to himself: "Oh! Am I really getting old and confused? Why do I foolishly believe everything people say? Now I don't have a penny, how can she make money?"

Thinking of this, he couldn't help but shook his head and smiled bitterly.

Thinking back on the changes that occurred to me after I took those medicines these days, my originally weak body has gradually regained strength, and I even feel more energetic than before.

Not only that, I used to be always drowsy and listless all day, but now I am awake more often.

My physical condition is getting better day by day.

This situation doesn't look like what it should be like to be murdered!

Uncle Li slapped his thigh suddenly and realized that those were all groundless rumors!

It only takes a little thought to figure it out.

He was filled with guilt and regret. He clasped his hands together, blushing as he said, "Doctor Niu, I'm so sorry! I was blinded by my own greed and misunderstood you. Please don't take it to heart!"
