Weng Xingban nodded, "Alright, Uncle, I'll go ask Ah-Xia tonight! This guy is indeed quite heavy, you and Ruan Yu can't take care of him. Rember you said that a person who's injured all over needs to be turned regularly so the wounds can breathe and won't fester more, haha..."
Grandpa Lou smiled and nodded, "Mm, Xingban, you're very smart. Actually, you can still learn dicine with in the future, making a living won't be a problem. You and Ah-Yu, both of you can do it."
Weng Xingban smiled bitterly, "Forget it, Uncle, I don't have that much patience and ti, I need to earn money to pay off debts. Learning dicine takes a long ti to beco proficient before you can earn an inco! And... you haven't seed to make much money from practicing dicine over the years either, haha..."
Grandpa Lou laughed, "It's because I don't need that much money, so there's no need to earn a lot. And, sigh... the poor people here don't have much money to begin with, finding when they're sick is already generous."
Weng Xingban felt a bit more bitter, shaking his head, "Uncle, are we destined to be poor for a lifeti?"
"Not necessarily, it depends on how you think and act! Maybe..."
As he spoke, Grandpa Lou pointed towards the unconscious Liu Zhizhong, continuing, "This person might change your fate, who knows. Look at him, though injured and with so burns on his face, he's strong and robust, quite imposing, certainly not an ordinary person, more than just a simple pilot."
Weng Xingban looked at Liu Zhizhong and shook his head, "I don't have Uncle's knack for judging people, your social experience is rich! Hopefully, a valuable pilot knows how to repay kindness!"
"What if he doesn't repay?"
Grandpa Lou asked with great interest.
Weng Xingban hesitated for a mont, then could only grin wryly, "It's okay if he doesn't repay, I'm destined to be poor. But turning a blind eye is not right either, is it?"
"Mm, good child, being honest and sincere will eventually be rewarded."
"Sigh... Uncle, how can poor people be rewarded? I've never seen any rewards all these years. In our hotown, everyone is like this, sigh..."
"..."
Once Ruan Yu had finished cooking the porridge and grilled two river fish, the three of them sat down at the simple table to eat.
Liu Zhizhong also had a bowl of porridge, but according to Grandpa Lou's instructions, it contained so fish sauce and so nourishing herbal powder, and needed to be continually simred, ready for him to eat when he wakes up.
Grandpa Lou's dical practice emphasized external treatnt and internal nourishnt, quite an effective thod.
After lunch, as Grandpa Lou was changing a bottle of anti-inflammatory dicine for Liu Zhizhong, Ah-Xia from the sa village arrived at Dishui Rock.
Ah-Xia was dark, short, very sturdy, a clear sign of soone good at manual labor.
However, he had a skill in masonry work, working in nearby villages and towns on construction jobs, earning a decent inco.
Ah-Xia didn't even co up to the cave, instead waving his cellphone below, saying to Weng Xingban, "Let's go! They're rushing , my contractor's also rushing , saying the work starts this afternoon! Xingban, they're paying quite generously, rarely do you find soone so generous! Are you coming? If you are, let's head out now, you can ride on my motorcycle, I'll help carry your luggage and all."
