Chapter 1230: Chapter 1052 Xiao’ai, Dabao, Xiaobei

Peach Blossom Village.

Inside "Xiaobei Medicine Shop", when Tian Xiaobei saw Xia Dabao coming over, she couldn’t help but smile and ask, "Dabao, what’s troubling you this time? A headache? Or a stomachache? Come, let me take your pulse."

Ever since "Xiaobei Medicine Shop" opened, Xia Dabao had been coming here quite a few times.

It was all Nan Feng’s fault; during that period, Xia Dabao had Nan Feng tell some stories about love, but Nan Feng knew not many stories of love, only tales like Liang Shanbo and Zhu Yingtai, Meng Jiangnu weeping over the Great Wall, and so on.

Latterly, in pursuit of more novel stories, Nan Feng related some Korean dramas she had seen back in the modern times to Xia Dabao. Unfortunately, she wasn’t well-acquainted with many Korean dramas. She often went online and knew some typical Korean drama formulas. In those dramas, many of the heroines ended up with terminal illnesses. Each time when the tale reached the part where the heroine was stricken with a terminal illness, and the hero felt life was not worth living, regretting not doing things differently and almost tearing his guts out in sorrow, Xia Dabao would feel heartbreak too.

"That’s really sad," sighed Xia Dabao, wiping away her tears with her sleeve.

While Nan Feng was narrating, Axian was also there beside them. Axian focused on different aspects of the story than Xia Dabao. After hearing the story, he would ask, "Mom, what is a terminal illness?"

"A terminal illness," explained Nan Feng, "is an incurable disease."

"Then what diseases are incurable?" Axian seemed a bit anxious.

"Well, there are many, such as liver cancer, stomach cancer, colon cancer, throat cancer... and so on."

"Mom, how do you get these diseases?" Axian was determined to get to the bottom of it.

"These diseases? They usually start as minor ailments, like frequent headaches, foot pain, throat pain. You must be attentive and not let the disease progress. If it keeps progressing, it can turn into an incurable disease. So, Axian and Dabao, you both must remember, if you feel unwell, you must mention it right away and not wait until it turns into a terminal illness."

"..."

Thus, during that time, Xia Dabao would think that she too often had some discomforts—should she go see a doctor?

When she learned that the occasional stomach pain was due to excessive dampness and that her occasional headaches were caused by poor sleep, Xia Dabao felt she had been making a big deal out of nothing. Thus, she refused to listen to the stories about the Korean dramas from Nan Feng anymore.

"I don’t have any problems with my health today," smiled Xia Dabao, "I’m just a bit bored and wanted to chat with you. Are you busy today?"

"It’s manageable. The villagers aren’t used to coming to the doctor for every little thing. Besides, there aren’t many people in Peach Blossom Village to begin with, so it’s relatively quiet," said Tian Xiaobei. "However, it’s getting busier day by day. I don’t know what it will be like after a while."

"Right, that’s because you can cure all those minor ailments of our villagers, correct?" laughed Xia Dabao. She had been keeping an eye on Tian Xiaobei’s medicine shop. Initially, not many people believed in it, but since he had miraculously revived the village chief, many started to come with a mindset of giving it a try.

Tian Xiaobei sounded very confident: "Indeed, that’s true."

For example, Uncle Li from the east end of the village who had long suffered from asthma, Uncle Wang who was helpless with his chronic nasal problems, and even Granny Li who had been deaf for years. Of course, deafness was not curable, but Granny Li’s hearing impairment had developed only over the past few years. After diagnosing her, Tian Xiaobei discovered a large piece of earwax inside her ears. After he removed the earwax, her ears healed just fine.

"Do you have enough medicine in your shop?" Xia Dabao asked again.
