Su Mian was secretly happy. She had been rewarded with a hypodermic needle. She could give other people injections in the future. Hypodermic needles at that time were not yet reusable. She would have to disinfect hers in boiling water with every use.

After bringing Da Hua and Xiao Hua back to the medicine tower, Su Mian carefully observed them for a while and noticed that they were not the same.

Da Hua’s fur was pure white without any split hairs. Xiao Hua had a small patch of fur on its tail that was grey. It wasn’t easy to notice this without careful observation.

At this time, golden words flashed again.

Da Hua has been injured. You can practice injections on her body!

Is this okay?

Su Mian looked at Da Hua as if she was looking at a lab rat.

After trying to inject Da Hua’s body twice, Da Hua had become scared when it saw Su Mian raise the needle again. It immediately retreated and its red eyes glistened with tears.

Da Hua was to the point of crying. She only needed one injection, but this human had already injected her twice and wanted to do it again.

Seeing Su Mian walk to her again, Da Hua’s legs limped and simply stopped moving, lying on the ground whimpering. What else could she do, she could not even run away from Su Mian now.

“Good child. This is the last needle.” Su Mian did not want to give it three injections. She could not do anything as the mission required her to inject the rabbit three times.

After continuously injecting it three times, Su Mian had gained the injection skill. Her kindness points had increased by 5.

Her current physical points were at 32, kindness points were at 14, and spiritual energy was at 0.

She then gave Da Hua some vegetable leaves, only then did Da Hua become more energetic. After comforting Da Hua and Xiao Hua, Su Mian went to plow the medicine field, catch insects, and remove weeds.

The medicinal ingredients were growing well, making Su Mian delighted.

Baizhu was sweet and warm. It could invigorate the spleen, strengthen the stomach, prevent diarrhea, and simultaneously dispel phlegm. Danggui was also sweet and warm. It could increase blood production, mend the heart, benefit deficiencies of the body, and dispel clotted blood to allow new blood to flow.

They were all commonly used medicinal ingredients. In this era, herbal medicine was scarce in the village. The Su Family’s plot did not have a large area for planting.

After Su Mian left the tower space, she heard a loud noise.

“Mom, he hit me with a slingshot!” Xiao Liu Zi covered his head and wept endlessly while pointing at Su Jin Long.

When Su Mian and He Qin reached the doorway, they were startled. Xiao Liu Zi’s hand was covering his head, and blood was leaking through his fingers.

“He stole elder cousin’s chicken and even shot elder cousin with a slingshot. I only made a move after!” Su Jin Long appeared righteous and did not know where he was wrong.

Su Mian thought that this was not good. She must change Su Jin Long’s attitude.

He had too much righteousness and liked to put his head out for others. Otherwise, how could he be used by others in her previous lifetime?

“Aunt He, tell me what should I do. My family’s Xiao Liu Zi’s head had been injured, and there is so much blood. How could children’s fights use such heavy-handed methods? Doctor Ma also went out. How do you want us widow and orphan live!”

Mrs. Xiao lived behind the Su Family. After she finished speaking, she lamented to heaven and crouched on the ground, “Xiao Liu Zi, if you were to suddenly die, I also don’t want to live anymore.”

Seeing his mother cry, Xiao Liu Zi also cried with her.

Xiao Liu Zi’s father had fallen to his death while mining in the mountains a few years ago. The widow and orphan had originally been shown consideration by the villagers.

However, Mrs. Xiao was a greedy person. Seeing that the villagers were treating them so well, she became greedier.

Any living creature that entered their house’s courtyard would be theirs. She would even enter other people’s vegetable gardens and take some vegetables. She would not even leave an old cucumber that was kept for replanting.

Today, the Li family would lose a chicken, tomorrow the Zhan family would lose a duck. As time passed, no one in the village was willing to give material assistance to both of them anymore.
