Fully Leveled Bigshot Becomes A Farmgirl

Chapter 612: Chapter 612 Zhao Xi is Not Here

Fang Xiyue didn’t act like the Shu family, who wouldn’t even bother inquiring before calling on a quack to treat someone’s illness.

They knew the physician who had been exiled to Righteous Dao Village wasn’t very skilled, so how could they dare to let him carelessly treat Father Fang’s illness?

Fang Xiyue and Mother Fang had discussed it, and they decided to save a little more on their daily food. Once Master Lan stopped keeping such a watchful eye on their family, they would try to seek a doctor from elsewhere to look at Father Fang’s condition.

But before they had the chance to take action, Shu Yu now told her that his family had a doctor with commendable medical skills — Fang Xiyue was so overjoyed that she didn’t know what to do.

She opened her mouth, feeling a bit embarrassed yet urgent as she said, “Then, could he come and see my father now?”

“Now?” Shu Yu was taken aback for a moment, “I have no problem with that, but I don’t know if he’s at home. I’ll need to go back and see before I can give you an answer.”

“Alright, I’ll accompany you back.”

Shu Yu had no objections, so both of them headed towards the Lu family first, passing by Fang Xiyue’s house on the way, but she didn’t turn back.

Unfortunately, Zhao Xi was not at home.

He had gone to the county town, having left not too long ago. That morning, he had gone up the mountain to forage for herbs and left with a mule carriage in the afternoon. Just yesterday, Dahu had sent a letter home, so Zhao Xi took the opportunity to both mail the letter and purchase some items in the county town.

After hearing this, Fang Xiyue was somewhat disappointed, but there was nothing she could do as the person wasn’t there — all she could do was wait.

After learning of her situation, the old lady consoled her, “Don’t be anxious. Daniu will surely return by evening. Once he’s back, I’ll speak to him and then visit your house to take a look.”

Fang Xiyue nodded her head, “Thank you, Grandma Lu.”

Since Zhao Xi was not present, Shu Yu planned to go down to the foothills for a walk and pick some mushrooms and wild greens.

She handed the wild chickens to the old lady, “Grandmother, stew both of these wild chickens. Since they’re already dead, they won’t last long anyway.”

Grandma Lu looked at the wild chickens from both sides, quite plump they were.

“Alright, let’s have this tonight then. You can have the big chicken leg.”

Shu Yu laughed, took two baskets, put one on her back, and handed one to Fang Xiyue, “Grandma, we’re off.”

“Be careful,” the old lady watched them leave, muttering a few words to herself, “Honestly, since you finished your chores so early, it would be fine to rest at home, but you insist on going out to do more. Don’t wear yourselves out.”

Listening to the sounds behind her, Shu Yu smiled and walked with Fang Xiyue towards the foothills.

As they entered the woods, they had previously noticed where the wild vegetables and mushrooms grew lush and plump, so as soon as they reached the foothills, they headed straight for their destination.

They worked efficiently, and in no time, they had filled a basket to the brim.

Having plenty of time left, Shu Yu decided to deliver this basket home first. This area had an abundance of wild shiitake and wood ear mushrooms, which were quite heavy.

Since both could be dried and eaten slowly, there was no worry about picking too many and wasting them.

Fang Xiyue agreed, so the two of them decided to make a trip back home first.

The wild chicken Fang Xiyue had brought earlier was still at Shu Yu’s place; now they took it along with them to deliver to her own home.

Currently, only her father was in the house, as Mother Fang had gone to work in the barren fields.

Having returned, Fang Xiyue thought of checking on her father and giving him some water to drink.

But as she entered the room, to her shock, she saw her father on the floor, struggling to crawl out.

Fang Xiyue gasped, dropped the basket and the wild chicken from her shoulders, and hurriedly ran forward, “Father, did you fall off the bed? Are you hurt? Have you injured yourself?”
