"Alright, having taken the medicine, it’s not possible for it to work immediately; it’s not an immortal medicine. If you’re truly anxious, then go prepare a warm towel to wipe down Yaya’s body with, at least it could physically help reduce her fever."
Zhang Shanni saw how tense the little boy was and assigned him a task. With something to do, he wouldn’t dwell on negative thoughts.
It must be said that the medicine brought from later times by Zhang Shanni was really effective when used in this era.
One could only say that the bodies of people now are ’pure’ and haven’t been poisoned by ’Medicine Pills and Injection Water,’ and lacking antibodies, the medicinal effects could be fully utilized.
In just about ten minutes, the medicine began to take effect, and a layer of slick sweat appeared on Yaya’s skin. Zhang Shanni measured her temperature every three to five minutes. Seeing the little girl’s temperature gradually drop, everyone breathed a sigh of relief.
The little boy, who had been completely perplexed, under the guidance of Zhang Shanni, learned how to use the thermometer, and afterwards, he took over the process.
Meanwhile, Zhang Shanni took advantage of this time to get a rough understanding of Xiao Lei’s background and the origins of this peculiar combination. Once she knew the two were indeed not child traffickers, she stopped being concerned. In her view, if one is willing to fight and the other to suffer, who are you to manage how others live their lives?!
Sure enough, as she had guessed, Xiao Lei had indeed found out about her medicine by ’smell,’ and she casually nodded, commenting, "Xiao Lei’s nose is really quite impressive."
Seeing the treatment was effective, the boy’s face and eyes showed a genuine smile, no longer sullen. Now that he had relaxed, he felt even hungrier.
This was because his little stomach was clearly protesting with a "gurgle gurgle" coming from within.
"Right, it seems you really are starving. Here, go ahead and eat." Hearing his stomach, Zhang Shanni knew the boy hadn’t been lying to her earlier, which inexplicably improved her mood. Then, seeing his pale face, she sighed to herself, reaching into her small bag to pull out a dry bun.
Damn it, she just had a soft heart, especially for starving children; she couldn’t help it!
This was a specially made milk-flavored bun, perfect for eating on the train.
Of course, this ’milk’ was sheep’s milk. There was a family in the village that raised sheep and had fresh sheep’s milk every day. Once Zhang Shanni learned about it, she specially arranged to get two jin each day, useful for eating, application, and beauty treatments.
Her little aunt’s current beauty was also thanks to this sheep’s milk, which made her fair skin so rapidly. And most importantly, dairy can nourish and moisturize the skin, making the complexion tender and smooth like an eggshell, which is absolutely crucial!
In just half a month, following her little aunt’s changes, Zhang Shanni herself had become noticeably fairer; this was also something she had deliberately shown.
She couldn’t exactly go about with a dark face in the military could she? In order for everyone to gradually accept her transformation, she went outdoors every day, either hunting in the mountains or joining her dad in clearing up wasteland or fields. She never idled, and her skin gradually lightened. The villagers saw her every day and wouldn’t feel that she had become fair overnight.
It’s said to be ’fair,’ but that’s relative to the original host’s dark complexion.
By her current skin tone, viewed through modern eyes, it would at most be considered a healthy wheatish shade, slightly on the fairer side.
After all, she has plenty of these things in her Space. She had robbed several large hospital warehouses back in the day.
After sending them off, the train journey was half over. She had noticed a boy looking and quickly made a trip to the restroom. Coming back and seeing two men standing not far away, Zhang Shan Ni had always locked in on this area with her spiritual power, aware that they had blocked certain criminals and understood why Xiao Lei said these two men were good people.
Whether a person is good or not depends on their attitude toward oneself; it can’t be universally determined.
In her view, the features of these two men don’t exactly compose the word "good," but in the eyes of Xiao Lei and little Ya, these men are the ones who watched over them growing up, so of course, they are good people.
Those who are kind to oneself but are not considered good people, are truly ungrateful.
When Zhang Shan Ni passed by them, she nodded in a friendly manner but did not converse.
Seeing that everything was alright, she promptly sent them off. After all, these two seats weren’t exclusively hers, and occupying them forever would anger even the most amiable people.
On the subsequent journey on the rails, Zhang Shan Ni stopped paying attention to others and closed her eyes, with her spiritual power locking onto several parcels as she half-dozed with her eyes squinted.
The smell in the train compartment wasn’t pleasant, and even though she had taken motion sickness medicine beforehand, she was still uncomfortably stifled.
Now with no entertainment and even fewer books, she could only occupy her time with medical texts. Reading them for too long on the train made her eyes more dizzy, and it was indeed better to squint and rest.
When she sat up straight with a headache and dizziness, there were only three hours left before she would get off the train. With nothing else to do, she remembered her visit to the original host’s Uncle’s house before departure, with a faint smile on her face—
