Chapter 23 - Hidden Merits

Qi Mianmian agreed. "Alright, sure. When I'm done knitting for Grandmother tomorrow and the day after, I'll start on yours."

It was an equivalent exchange. She didn't mind.

At midnight, Qi Mianmian lit a scentless sleeping drug in the bedroom, after swallowing the antidote herself. After waiting for about two minutes, she began to perform acupuncture on the unconscious Qi Zhen.

With the medicinal tea Qi Zhen had drunk in the afternoon as a cover, she could now treat Qi Zhen's short-sightedness.

Swiftly, she inserted the nine silver needles into the corresponding acupuncture points and flashed into the Medical Spirit Dimension to hunt for food.

Because she had insisted on taking out three eggs from the drawer to make tomato and egg soup, their family had a slightly better dinner than usual tonight.

However, there were a total of seven people in their family. Apart from Qi Yang, all of them had a large appetite. Although Qi Zhen had given her a bowl of tomato and egg soup just for her, she didn't eat much else and was still not full.

Moreover, her character's body was not much curvier than Qi Tian's flat body.

She had to eat something nutritious to supplement that part of her development while she was still young.

Qi Mianmian didn't eat papayas. Even though the papayas in this dimension were more delicious than usual, she still ignored them.

After shopping around in the dimension, she finally saw the braised pig's trotters in the warehouse of cooked food…

In her Medical Spirit Dimension, there were twenty small warehouses where time stood still. Each warehouse spanned about ten cubic meters.

In her previous life, she had saved and categorized a lot of things in this dimension. Now, she had brought all of them with her.

Three of these warehouses were filled with cooked food.

Two of them contained cold drinks and cold food.

Another contained cosmetics she had made for herself, or purchased from luxury brands.

Five of them held rare ingredients.

The rest of the warehouses were filled with rare medicinal ingredients.

After happily nibbling away at half a piping hot and fragrant pig's trotter, she glanced at the timer and saw that thirty minutes were up. Qi Mianmian stepped in to remove the needles from Qi Zhen's body, and applied some medicine, which could quickly heal her wounds, to the places where the needles had been inserted. Then, she flashed into the dimension to wash up, before she went to bed and slept peacefully.

The next day, Qi Mianmian was woken up by Qi Zhen's scream.

She looked at the gap in the curtains. It was still dark outside, and the sun had not risen.

She looked at the clock in the spirit dimension. It was only half past four in the morning.

Why was Second Sister up so early today?

Oh, she had forgotten that the sleeping drug could help one sleep very deeply.

If one had a good rest, she would naturally wake up early.

Qi Tian was woken up and very irritated. However, before she could grumble, Qi Zhen began to shout joyfully, "Ah, my vision has actually improved so much! It's true! When I was sitting on my bed in the past, I wouldn't be able to see the buttons on my shoes. Now, I can see them clearly.

And the words on Big Sister's notebook! If you bring it a little closer, I'll be able to read the words."

Such a joyous event instantly caused Qi Tian's irritation to vanish.

She sat up immediately and asked in disbelief, "Really?"

"It's true. If you don't believe me, I'll recite a passage from your notebook for you."

As she spoke, she lifted the ledger and held it about a foot from her eyes. She began to read aloud, stumbling.

Of course, she didn't read fluently. However, it wasn't because she couldn't see clearly, but because she hadn't much education and didn't recognize many of the words.

Qi Tian asked Qi Mianmian in disbelief, "My eyes feel much better too. Is it because of the medicinal tea from yesterday? How is this medicinal tea so amazing? It can even treat myopia?"

Didn't this mean that all the short-sighted people in the world no longer could be miraculously cured?

Qi Zhen also looked at Qi Mianmian in anticipation.

Qi Mianmian shook her head heartlessly. "This is the prescription Grandfather taught me. I've given it to many people in the past, but I've never heard that it can treat myopia. My guess is… Second Sister isn't myopic in the ordinary sense. It could be cataracts, or a blood clot. However, it doesn't matter what it is, as long as it can be treated. Second Sister, continue to drink the medicine today. Drink it for five days at least. Then, we'll see."
