C28 Different Souls

Zhang Xiaohua's father had just returned from the farmland and did not know that the tragedy had just ended.

He was just thinking, why did Little Flower's mother go for Zhang’s Old Mansion to last so long, and now that it's dusk yet she hasn't returned, he couldn't help but feel worried.

If you don't want to go, then it's more likely that you think the same way.

Zhang Xiaohua and Wang Ergou brought his wife back. Along the way, even though they were travel worn out, Zhang Xiaohua's youthful face still looked worse and worse.

"What's going on?"

"Father, this is a long story. Go and boil some hot water right now."

Even though he was confused, his life was in danger, so Zhang Xiaohua's father did not dare to delay any further, tidied up, and went to boil some water.

He placed his mother properly and took out silver needles from his bag, quickly and fiercely inserting them into the acupoints on his leg.

The astute Wang Ergou looked somewhat surprised.

"You learned acupuncture?"

He only asked softly, but Zhang Xiaohua's mind was filled with thoughts of saving his mother, and had no time to pay attention to him.

"Ergou, there is a ginseng in that bag. Take it out and pass it to your father, tell him to sell it to the family.

Zhang Xiaohua knew that everything she had done today was enough to arouse Wang Ergou's suspicions, so she did her best to remedy the situation.

Miss Zhang was born stupid, they would never do anything reliable, so how could they know acupuncture?

Simply speaking, he had learned this from the Madam Ji Su and the others, and could fool others but not the Wang Ergou in front of them. Right now, he was only doing his best to make up for it.

"You're good at medicine, why are you asking for a doctor?" Wang Ergou did not move.

"Do you still remember that day when you went to the Wang Family Medicine Shop to sell wine? The head storekeeper's wife had taught me a few things, so it was useful today. Alright, let's cut to the chase, my mother is in this kind of situation and you still ask me these random questions.

As expected, Wang Ergou did not question him anymore, and quickly picked up the ginseng and headed out of the room.

Zhang Xiaohua could not help but let out a long sigh.

Ergou's heart sank when he said that he could fool others, but he really couldn't fool the man beside him.

He was well aware that this woman was trying to lie to him, but her life was in danger, so he did not want to pester her with this question. He took the ginseng and went to the outer room to give it to Zhang Xiaohua's father.

"Father, Little Flower wants you to sell this ginseng in the city for some silver taels."

Zhang Xiaohua's father was very tall and sturdy. When she raised her head, she was stunned when she saw Ergou holding the medicinal ingredients, and took the opportunity to size up her son-in-law.

Only after a careful look did he realize that although the young man in front of him had problems with his legs, his face looked very handsome.

Sometimes you sigh that it is rare for such a good-looking boy to come out of this country house, but he does not think of anything as capricious, and the child's feet are lame.

"Alright, I got it. It's really cold outside. Hurry back to the inner room."

Zhang Xiaohua's father began to push Wang Ergou indoors. An idea suddenly flashed through Ergou's mind, she might be able to answer this father-in-law's questions.

He stopped and asked Zhang Xiaohua's father.

"Father, this is the first time I have come to pay my respects to you, but I can't do anything about it …" I just want to ask you something. "

"Child, what are you talking about? If you have anything to ask, just say it. We're family, so why are you acting so formal?"

"Little Flower..." So you were born stupid, but what symptoms do you have? "

"When the old father heard him ask this, he could not help but let out a long sigh as if he felt very regretful." That's right, there's something wrong with that girl's brain since birth, otherwise she wouldn't have been treated with such disdain by the old lady. If Little Flower's life were better, she wouldn't have been born here and wouldn't have to suffer. "

"Then before... Do you know any medical skills? "

"Kid, why are you asking all these weird questions today? This family is so poor that they can barely keep the pot boiling. How could the people around you be so profound …"

Ergou immediately understood that his medical skills were indeed not passed down in his family, and his mother was not some expert in medicine.

Then where did Zhang Xiaohua get her handiwork from?

Even though his stomach was filled with suspicion and puzzlement, at this moment, Ergou actually had an even stranger thought in his heart.

Zhang Xiaohua had always wanted to hide something but he did not have a clue. She had seen all of Little Flower's actions today, so Wang Ergou somewhat understood.

Perhaps … There was another soul in Zhang Xiaohua's body.

This meant that he had the same soul as himself.

The woman he had rescued was not the real owner of this body.

He didn't dare to believe it, but what had happened today, and what had happened after that, made him unable to stop thinking about it.

After waiting for a long time, Zhang Xiaohua's mother's condition finally stabilized, and the temperature that had originally been so high that it would not go back to normal returned.

Wang Ergou brought out a bowl of water and handed it over to her.

"How do you feel? Rest for a while. I'll take care of my mother."

Even if it was hard work, Zhang Xiaohua still didn't want to leave her mother's side. Today's situation was simply too dangerous, and she didn't want to see her mother's situation worsen because of her own negligence.

"No need. I'll be home for the next few days. You should go home and accompany your mother-in-law. When your mother stabilizes, I'll go home."

With Madam Ji Su living alone, Wang Ergou would definitely not be able to relax. After Zhang Xiaohua voiced out his concerns, Wang Ergou also did not nod her head anymore to show that she agreed.

After working day after day, Zhang Xiaohua became very happy when she saw his mother recover, and she accompanied her over to pick some medicinal herbs every day.

One day, while the two of them were resting on the mountain, Wang Ergou brought a flower to Zhang Xiaohua.

"This flower looks pretty good, I'll give it to you as a gift."

This was the first time Zhang Xiaohua had seen him acting this way, and it was quite romantic.

"It's quite rare, but your luck is quite good. You've got hold of such a good herb …"

Wang Ergou was puzzled, "Isn't it just a flower, how did it become an herb?"

"You don't know about this, of course it's from an herb, it's called Stars Blue, but since the flowers are beautiful, it should be good on your head, thank you Ergou."

Zhang Xiaohua put the flower on her head and chuckled.

"How is it? Does it look good? "

Wang Ergou did not speak anymore, and only became more and more curious about Zhang Xiaohua. She could even casually pick some grass to determine if it was a medicinal ingredient, and it was not based off of its foundation.
