I asked the people at Yaxing to help me find craftsmen, roughly clean up the shop, and decorate it according to the style of a medical hospital in this era. The backyard is no longer needed. The previous owner maintained the room very well.

After filing a record with the government office, my Zhao's Medical Center will be officially opened.

Since I didn’t have any other relatives or friends, I only invited Ning Xiucai to my home and ordered food from a restaurant for delivery. Ning Xiucai and I had a housewarming and opening banquet at home.

Although it was opened, because it was a newly opened medical clinic with little reputation and little business, I still lived at home. When I was bored, I read more books. Because I copied other people’s abilities, I found that my memory became very bad. Well, basically you can remember the content after reading the book once. If it weren't for the fact that I couldn't change history, I would have thought of taking the provincial examination.

Speaking of the Provincial Examination, I remembered that the Provincial Examination is tomorrow. Do you want to go and see Ning Xiucai? I have nothing to do. It is getting late now and no one will come, so I decided to go and see Ning Xiucai. Scholar, cheer him up.

As soon as I locked the door and walked out of the street, I saw a group of police officers passing by. I heard them saying as they walked down that a few children had been lost in the city recently. You said that stealing children could be stolen and sold by traffickers, but the ones that were lost were all young men around the age of thirteen or fourteen. No one would buy such an old child if they were stolen.

I stood on the roadside watching them go away, and asked in my mind, Maoqiu, I heard there are no human traffickers. Boys of thirteen or fourteen in this era are considered adults. How could they be stolen? Will they be able to resist? Maoqiu said, the case looks not simple. Maoqiu, can I take care of my business? Will my participation affect the historical line? Maoqiu said, no, it’s just a small matter for the historical line. If things don’t get more serious, it won’t be a big deal. If you want to participate, you have to let nature take its course, and you can’t join forcefully.

Okay, let it take its course, and with my mind on my mind, I came to the door of Ning Xiucai's room in the inn. When I heard Ning Xiucai was reading alone in the room, I knocked on the door.

Ning Xiucai opened the door and saw me. He smiled and said to me,"Why does Dr. Xiaobei come to my place sometimes?" As I walked in, I told him that the provincial examination is not tomorrow. I came to see Brother Ning and hoped that Brother Ning would do well in the exam.

Ning Xiucai said, everyone should work hard, and the rest depends on God's arrangements. Brother Ning must be able to do it. He has a calm mind and is not nervous. Based on his knowledge, Brother Ning will definitely be on the gold list. After sitting down for a cup of tea and chatting for a while, I took my leave. Ning Da, please rest early so as not to affect your performance tomorrow. I will go back first. When you finish the exam, come to my house and let's have a drink.

When I got home, I was still thinking about losing my child. There are many human traffickers nowadays. Most of them abduct children of this age to sell their organs. But this is ancient times, and there can be no organ trade....

The family who lost their child must be so worried. The detectives searched all over the city but couldn't find any clues. It seemed that it would be difficult to catch him.

Three days later, the provincial examination was over and the street was very lively. Many well-dressed scholars came out to gather and participate in poetry and cultural gatherings before their results came out.

In the past two days, I have started to have customers in my shop. Most of them are suffering from headaches and fever. I have prescribed a few medicines and sold a few bottles of wind-cold pills that I made myself. I have started to have business and feel less bored. A middle-aged woman came here this morning, complaining of pain in her heart and head. My pulse was taken because I was worried too much. I had not been able to sleep well or eat well during this period, which caused insufficient blood and energy. I prescribed a prescription for replenishing qi and blood, and then said to her, Auntie, is there something difficult at home? You are always so worried and over-thinking. No matter how much medicine you take, it will be useless. You still have to take it. Just relieve your anxiety.

The woman sighed deeply and said,"There is only one child in the family. He has been smart since he was a child. He went to a government school and got good grades. It was his father's birthday ten days ago. He took a leave of absence and came back to celebrate his father's birthday." Originally, he was asked to stay one night and return to the academy early the next morning, but he said he was afraid that he would not be able to study early in the morning, so he walked back to the academy at night before it was too late. Who knows, one day later the academy sent someone to ask why he hadn't returned to the academy yet, and then the family realized that he was missing. After reporting the matter to the police, everyone in the family went out to look for her. It has been ten days and there is no news at all. I haven't slept at all in the past ten days. Whenever I close my eyes, I can hear him calling me mother. I really can't stand it anymore. I want to grab some medicine and take it. I can't fall down. I have to wait. The son is back. The woman shed tears as she spoke, which was painful to watch.

I said to the woman, Auntie, don't be too anxious. He will be found. I saw many police officers working on the street. With so many people looking for him, he will be found.

The woman didn't know whether she heard it or not. She just sighed, paid the consultation fee, took the medicine I brought and left. Watching her leave, I couldn't help but feel sad too.

While I was still wondering where these children had gone, a police officer came to the door of the hospital. I raised my head and looked at him. He looked familiar. Have I seen it somewhere? I stood up and asked,"What do you want, sir?" The policeman said,"Zhao Xiaobei, Master Song Tong, please come over." Oh, let's go. I closed the shop and walked to the government office with the big detective behind me. As I walked, I asked,"Have I seen you before, sir?" The big brother of the policeman smiled and said, Last time at the gate of the government office, I took a jar of poisonous snakes from my carriage. I'm telling you, it's someone I've seen.
