In the winter of 1960, there was heavy snowfall, and the entire Yushu Village was submerged by the blizzard.

"Crunch... Crunch...", a thin figure walked hard in the snow with one foot deep and one shallow. Even though the steps were staggering, the back looked extremely firm.

The north wind was howling, and the pain on my face was like a knife blade. Snowflakes were flying all over the sky, and my eyes were blurred.

Zhao Xueer sniffed her nose, which was already red from the cold, with tears in her eyes, and rushed to the home of Liu Tiandong, a barefoot doctor who lived in the east of the village.

"Hurry up, hurry up..." Zhao Xueer couldn't help but shed tears when she thought of her sister who was still lying at home with a high fever.

In her previous life, it was because of this cold that her sister's life was taken away. Since God gave her a chance to start over again, she must seize it and snatch her sister's life back from the hands of death.

Zhao Xueer's thin body hidden in a worn-out cotton-padded jacket seemed to burst out with endless energy in an instant, and she finally arrived in front of the barefoot doctor's yard.

"Pah, pah, pah", she knocked hard on the door of Liu Tiandong's house, "Doctor Liu - Uncle Liu -, I am Zhao Xue'er, my sister is sick, please go and save her -"

The roaring north wind couldn't stop Zhao Xueer's strenuous shouting. She was afraid that the voice was too low and Dr. Liu's family wouldn't hear it.

"Who is this... shouting, the door is about to be knocked down."

Someone finally came out of Liu Tiandong's house. It was Liu Tiandong's mother-in-law, Aunt Ma, who opened the chained courtyard door. When she saw that the door was covered with snow, Zhao Xueer was shivering from the cold and her eyes were red. She was startled.

"Auntie, is Dr. Liu at home? My sister is sick and has a high fever." Zhao Xueer quickly explained the purpose of her visit.

At this time, a middle-aged man wearing a hat and a long gray cotton-padded jacket walked out of the house carrying a medicine box and said, "Girl Zhao, I heard it all. Treatment is important. Let's go quickly. The weather is so bad."

Life, it’s not easy to deal with children getting sick——”

Zhao Xueer responded quickly and rushed home with Dr. Liu.

In the west of the village, at the end of the village, in the back room of the dilapidated courtyard, a little girl was lying weakly on the bed, her brows furrowed and sweat on her forehead.

There was also a slightly older little boy in the room. He nervously took out the steaming towel from the hot water basin and carefully but awkwardly wiped the sweat from the girl's forehead.

Zhao Tian'er felt extremely worried in her heart. Her sister, who was usually thin, looked even more lifeless lying on the bed.

He raised his hand and wiped his tears. It was okay, his sister would be fine.

My sister has already gone to see Dr. Liu in the village. My sister's illness will definitely be cured.

Well! It will definitely happen!

He wants to listen to his sister's words and guard her untiringly. No matter what he does in the future, he will let her do it as long as she gets better.

The little girl on the bed moved her fingers, squeaked, and gradually opened her grape-like eyes, which met the crying eyes of the little boy.

Yun Xiaotang felt that she had a splitting headache, her head was dizzy, and she was trembling with sweat. When she tried to open her eyes, what she saw was a man sitting obediently in front of her with red eyes.

The little boy looked at her, and she suddenly felt sour in her heart.

"Sister, you're awake!"

"Sister, I'm going to see the doctor. Just lie down and stay still."

Zhao Tian'er was very happy when he saw his sister Zhao Chun'er woke up. He tucked his sister into bed and told her to lie down like a little adult.

Although Yun Xiaotang was confused, she didn't move. Her body was limp and weak, and it looked like she was still sick. She lay on the bed and looked around, taking stock of her current environment.

The house made of big rocks and clay is an old house that Yun Xiaotang only saw in his hometown before.

The room is not big, the bed is placed against the wall, and there is a small table in the middle of the room. It is a small wooden table that has not even been painted. It looks like it is handmade by myself.

There is a red enamel basin on the table. The basin is filled with steaming hot water.

Yun Xiaotang glanced at the room where she was staying, and finally focused on the little boy beside her.

He has big eyes, sallow skin and some chapped skin. He is wearing a worn-out cotton jacket and trousers that are fully patched. Even the cotton shoes on his feet are patched.

It's sad and distressing to see, especially when those big dark eyes are full of light and look over, it makes people feel cute and pitiful.

Did she travel to a poor mountainous area?

She simply couldn't imagine that such a poor place existed now?

While she was thinking wildly, a sound of footsteps and voices came from outside the door——

"My sister is back. She has invited a doctor. My sister, your illness can be cured."

Zhao Tian'er heard the noise and immediately got up to open the door.

"Doctor Liu, my sister is here." At this time, Zhao Xueer and Liu Tiandong happened to arrive at the door.

As soon as she entered the door, Zhao Xueer saw her younger sister who had woken up and was eagerly watching their actions. She couldn't help but smile and invited Liu Tiandong over.

Liu Tiandong walked forward quickly and sat on the stool next to the bed. He asked Zhao Chun'er to stretch out his arm and feel her pulse. Then he looked at her tongue, then opened the medicine box and mixed the medicine.

While preparing the medicine, he said, "Colds and fevers caused by wind and cold are also accompanied by inflammation. These days, especially due to famine, children are undernourished and weak. But fortunately, I sweated all over, otherwise the high fever would not go away at such a young age.

, the most prone to accidents."

"I prescribed six doses of medicine, one per day, to clear away heat and reduce inflammation. You still have to pay attention to it..."

As he talked, he couldn't help but sigh when he thought about the hardships he had endured in the past few years.

It would be nice to be alive these days...

After prescribing the medicine, Liu Tiandong put the medicine on the table, picked up the medicine box and was ready to leave, without any intention of asking for money for the medicine.

After winter, some of these medicinal materials can be picked in the mountains.

On the other hand, Zhao Xueer's family was destitute and faced a lean year. With an older child and two younger children, life was really difficult.

Zhao Xueer, on the other hand, saw Doctor Liu prescribing the medicine and was about to leave. She hurriedly took out the tightly packed silver bracelet that had been prepared and handed it to Liu Tiandong.

"Uncle Liu, life is difficult now. Materials are scarce, and medicines are also in short supply. Our family doesn't have much money, and we have younger brothers and sisters to support. I only have this silver bracelet left by my previous mother. Don't dislike it."

Liu Tiandong refused, the little medicine he had was not worth a silver bracelet.

"Uncle Liu, just take it. I thank you for treating my sister before it's too late. This bracelet would be very beautiful if you take it back and give it to your aunt."

Zhao Xueer was very insistent that the silver bracelet must be given to Liu Tiandong. As a barefoot doctor in the village, it is always good to leave some favors, not to mention that my sister has been in poor health, so I am afraid that she will trouble him again in the future.

Liu Tiandong looked at the stubborn eyes of the girl in front of him, and finally had no choice but to accept the bracelet, "Uncle Liu, I will keep it for you for the time being. When the lean years are over and life gets better, you can come and replace the bracelet."
