"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.
