Chapter 892: Chapter 892: Ah Zhu's Background

Editor: Henyee Translations

This candidate was definitely voluntary, but who would be willing to try such a matter that concerned their lives?

Shao Qingyuan had smallpox when he was young, so even if he wanted to do it himself, it was impossible.

Ah Zhu seemed to have seen through his dilemma and immediately recommended himself. “Young Master, let me do it.”

Shao Qingyuan looked at him. “What did you say?”

“I said I’ll do it.” He had no hesitation at all. He smiled and said, “I believe in Young Master. Young Master can even make his own medicine. Cowpox is definitely not a problem for you. Besides, didn’t we ask just now? A person infected with cowpox won’t be in danger. It doesn’t matter if I’m infected.”

Shao Qingyuan looked at him with a serious gaze. “Then you know that it’s not enough to infected with cowpox. If I want to know the results, you have to be infected with smallpox to see if it’s really useful. Cowpox is fine, but what about smallpox? You might lose your life.”

Ah Zhu smiled nonchalantly. “It’s not that serious. Even if it’s smallpox, we can still treat it if we prepare in advance.”

Shao Qingyuan frowned slightly. Clearly, he still didn’t agree.

He turned around and walked out of the cow farm. Then, he went to other houses with cows and continued to learn about the situation of people who had cowpox.

Along the way, Shao Qingyuan didn’t say anything else.

Ah Zhu was afraid that he would be angry, so he didn’t dare to speak. He just followed behind him, looking like he wanted to say something but hesitated.

The two of them got into the carriage and entered the city again.

Ah Zhu sat on the shaft of the carriage and rode. As his back was facing Shao Qingyuan, he finally took a deep breath and said, “Young Master, actually, I’m also afraid of smallpox. I’m especially afraid. You don’t know, but I used to have a younger brother who was just a few years younger than me. He just… had smallpox when he was young and he died.”

His voice lowered by two degrees, but it also sounded like a laugh.

Shao Qingyuan couldn’t see his expression, but he knew that he definitely wasn’t feeling well.

He continued, “Smallpox is really too scary. Not only did my younger brother die, but even my parents… contracted it while taking care of him. They both died. At that time, I happened to be in my grandfather’s place and escaped a calamity. When I received the news and returned, the villagers scolded me. Because not only my parents and younger brother, but even two neighbors were in trouble.”

“Master, don’t you think smallpox is scary? Smallpox took my family away. I couldn’t stay in the village anymore. I couldn’t go to my grandfather’s family either. I was completely alone. If I hadn’t met Brother Mao and the others, I might have died now. I didn’t even think about living such a good life now.”

Shao Qingyuan was silent.

“Young Master, if you had such a method back then, my parents wouldn’t have left. I just want to do something so that I would feel better. In the future, no one will be like me. Besides, didn’t you say that doctors taste hundreds of herbs? Physicians with brilliant medical skills all eat poison themselves. I learned medicine from them. Why can’t I grow cow acne?”

Shao Qingyuan now knew why Ah Zhu was interested in studying medicine. Moreover, between the guard and the shop assistant, he had chosen to be a shop assistant.

“Young Master, just agree.”

Shao Qingyuan was expressionless. “We’ll talk about this later. Let’s make sure that everyone who has cowpox hasn’t contracted smallpox again.”

Ah Zhu thought that it was fine. He would have a way to convince Young Master.
