Shen Yuzhi frowned as he looked at the medicine held out before him, glancing up at Nan Yu in confusion.
The reason Shen Yuzhi had asked whether Nan Yu's home had any topical medicine was that in this era, rural areas simply did not have the Western topical treatments used in modern hospitals; people mostly relied on medicinal herbs. Only city hospitals carried that kind of powdered Western medicine. Yet, what Nan Yu was holding out was a small bottle of powder, clearly a Western drug. Such an item was not cheap in this day and age.
Shen Yuzhi and his family had been sent down to the countryside, and they had very little money on them. He wasn't even certain if he could afford this bottle of medicine. Besides, how could this person afford Western medicine? And why would he be carrying it around with him?
