Chapter 333: More Than I Imagined
I came back to my senses for a moment, looked at his bright and smiling eyes, and suddenly reached out and took off the scarf that had been covering his face.
A streamer-like face caught my eye.
No matter how many times I watch it again, I will never get tired of it.
Raising his hand to touch his face, he looked at it stupidly, and suddenly remembered what he had just said.
His conversation with the little girl.
I said half-negatively, half-questioningly: "You still say that I teach bad children, what about you?" "The lie is as true as it is."
I reached out and stroked his beautiful eyebrows, stopped on his cheek, and whispered, "Where did the scar come from?" β
Xiao Chu looked at me with a playful look in his eyes, leaned close to my ear and said a word.
Suddenly, I remembered the night in the secret room of Emperor Ying, and my face turned uncontrollably red.
In embarrassment, I couldn't help but hit him on the shoulder, Xiao Chu avoided it several times, grabbed my hand, and said in a hoarse voice: "If it goes on like this, I can't guarantee it"
I glanced at him quickly, my heart beating like a drum, but my hand didn't dare to move anymore
Xiao Chu imprinted a kiss on my forehead and said, "Let's get down to business." β
His tone changed, and I lowered my head and raised my hand to tuck the hem of my shirt.
Xiao Chu straightened my body, faced him, gently raised his hand to pick up my chin, and said in a soft tone, "Xiao Ling'er, this time I came to Xishan, I am here to help you heal the patients here." "But before the people of the court arrive, I will leave."
He said in a light tone: "Xiao Ling'er, so, I can't stay too long." β
My heart jumped, thinking of the relationship between him and Xiao Ning, and I immediately understood what he meant.
Indeed, in such an embarrassing scene, it is better to see each other than not to see each other.
I was silent and listened to him tell me some secrets I didn't understand
Unconsciously. It's the middle of the night.
I felt sleepy, leaned against him and closed my eyes.
Before falling asleep, Xiao Chu's sigh could be heard
The morning light is slightly dew, and I have woken up. Smell the aroma of food.
The moment I opened my eyes, I was sleeping on the wooden bed in the hut, but Xiao Chu didn't see the Shadow Sect.
When I got out of bed, he walked into the room with a bowl in his hand, and I could smell the aroma of rice porridge.
"The conditions here are simple, only this, Xiao Ling'er, will finish eating, I'm afraid I won't have much time to accompany you today."
I looked at him and smiled slightly, "There is porridge to drink." I don't need to cook it, am I so picky, I'm not Xiao"
The voice stopped, and I lowered my head with some regret, why did I almost say Xiao Ning's name at this time. I complained in my heart, I blamed him for being picky and left too deep an impression on me, serving his diet and daily life, I really admired the large group of people in Zihuan Palace.
Especially the dumb palace maid who helped me get through a few times.
It's not easy, dealing with people like Xiao Ning
I'm in the house preparing the utensils I'll use later.
When I crossed the river yesterday, I brought a set of fine silver needles that Master Chen gave me.
This was the best set of items that his old man had brought from Yingtian Renshan Hall.
But with my three-legged cat's acupuncture, it's a bit wasteful.
Fortunately. With Xiao Chu here, this set of silver needles is a sharp weapon in his hands.
The speed of his stitching and the accuracy of his shots amazed me.
I almost forgot that the task that I had originally discussed today was to help Xiao Chu, and for a while I actually stayed by his side and watched him treat the patient.
It's really pleasing to watch him move like a cloud.
Until the door is pushed open. Ah Man walked in with the boatman from yesterday, and I came back to my senses.
I instructed the boatman to tell him to cross the river and return to the original mountain today, and inform Master Chen and the other two doctors of the situation here, and I specially took care that they did not need to transfer people over.
Count the people of this mountain combined. After all, there is still a gap with the numbers over there, and I think it is better for Master Chen and the other two doctors to stay in the same place.
What I didn't say was that I felt that Xiao Chu was here, and I was his assistant, even if he stayed for three or four days, it would be enough to deal with the situation here.
This is the gap, the gap that has to be admitted, medical skills, in addition to time grinding, there is also talent, when you meet a genius like him, there is only one in tens of millions.
I patiently explain the affairs of the ship, and there is another layer of selfishness, and I don't want to spend such a short time together, and ask other people to disturb me!
To sum up, the task I entrusted to the shipwreck today is to pass on the news, and there is no need to send people, we will stay behind.
I think Master Chen should be relieved when he hears that there is a doctor here, and with one of me, he can deal with it
I squatted in the courtyard and continued to boil the medicine, and the little girl who came yesterday came to our temporary medical center again today.
"Dr. Lin," she said as she ran over to look at me, "don't you have to heal the sick today?" β
I turned my head to look at her, tilted my head and thought about what to say, and then smiled at her, "I can't help much, because the doctor in the room is much more skilled than me." β
In addition to being stronger than my skills, Xiao Chu's speed is extremely fast!
According to him, he was trained in Shikun Mountain.
At that time, he was rescued by the Shikun Mountain tribe, and in return, he treated them, and the number of people who came was no less than the number of people here.
He was recovering from a serious injury, his energy was not good, and his daily time in consultation was limited, so he had to deal with patients as quickly as possible.
Later, Jing Lan gradually improved in his medical skills, and only then did he reach the point where he was able to share a part of the Cheng dΓΉ for him.
I saw that the little girl looked at me a little confused, she looked at me puzzled, and whispered, "In this case, the doctor in the room is very busy and has no time to rest." β
The corners of my mouth moved, and suddenly there was a coughing sound in the room, and Aman's voice, which seemed to be very unhappy.
After a pause, I quickly sealed the fire and walked briskly back to the hut to check.
Xiao Chu raised his hand to cover the corners of his mouth with a handkerchief, he was originally wearing a veil, and his face couldn't be seen really, so it was inevitable that this action would be a little strange at this time.
When Ah Man saw me entering, he stepped forward and said to me: "Quickly persuade Gongzi, Xiaolin, how can you sit idly by like this." β
"Childe rushed over from Shikuo Mountain, originally"
"Aman." Xiao Chu called him in a low voice. Raising his head, he looked at him coldly and said, "Get out!" β
Ah Man's face turned red, and he seemed to be a little unwilling, and he rubbed in the room for a while before he went out angrily. He sat on the bluestone by the courtyard wall.
I frowned and looked at Xiao Chu, and was about to speak, when he said in a deep and extremely formulaic tone: "Doctor Lin, you also go out first, and guard the medicine by the fireside." β
For three whole days, I felt that it was the most relaxing three days after coming to Jianghuai, and I didn't seem to have much to do, however, in stark contrast, Xiao Chu's whole person lost weight.
He has a characteristic stubbornness, and many times he does not allow me to interfere. This is the most stubborn he has ever been since I met him.
It's more stubborn than I imagined!
By the evening of the third day, I saw that there were almost no people waiting outside the hut
On the shore of the water, I sent Xiao Chu to board the boat when he came, and Ah Man always followed with a depressed face. Several times he tried to approach me to talk to me, but was interrupted by Xiao Chu.
Xiao Chu looked at me from the shore, gently raised his hand and pressed my shoulder and said, "Xiao Ling'er, after you go back to Yingtian, I won't come to see you again in the remaining months." β
Xiao Chu stared at me and said with a smile: "Shikun Mountain starts in autumn. I'm going to hunt for the winter, and I'm going to have more patients than usual at my infirmary, and I probably won't be able to get out of the way. β
I felt sad in my heart and nodded: "I know, horizontal and vertical is a matter of a few months, and when the time comes." When the time comes, I will definitely make a decision on where to follow you, return to the Lost Valley or live in seclusion in the Shikun Mountain, where you live. β
Ah Man had already jumped on the board of the boat and looked back at me and Xiao Chuyi said goodbye.
He looked at it for a moment, then suddenly turned around and crouched on the other side of the boat. With their backs to us.
Before Xiao Chu boarded the boat, he hugged me unexpectedly and asked, "If I take you away now, would you like to go to Shikun Mountain with me?" β
I was indulged for a moment, and the sadness in my heart surfaced again, and I forced a smile on my face and said, "Now, I don't want to, don't forget jΓ¬, you promised me, give me time." β
"Yes, I agreed, but I regretted it." He smiled helplessly.
"A gentleman is true to his word."
Xiao Chu lowered his head and stroked my hair hanging down on my sideburns: "Sometimes, I would rather be a villain, simpler, direct, regardless of it, maybe happier." β
After the catastrophe, the river gradually receded.
Master Chen and I boarded the boat to meet us and returned to the mountain city on the north bank of the Jianghuai River.
Prior to that, Xiao Ning had made a big move in Jianghuai, thoroughly investigating the officials who had joined the cabinet who had been in charge of the Jianghuai water control project more than 20 years ago.
Shen Yan of the Qing School was instructed to carry out an unprecedented initiative in an important town in the upper reaches of the Great River, to divert a tributary of the Chengjiang River that flowed through the Jianghuai River.
For this reason, it will cost no less than the silver taels of the water control project of the year.
And the whole project will take a long time.
Judging from the long-term peace and stability of Jianghuai, this project is beneficial and harmless.
I once imagined that Xiao Ning had also thought of the mountain and forest guards at the upstream source, and by the time I knew it, half a month had already passed
When I came back from Xishan, it was Shen Yan who picked us up, but as soon as I arrived at the branch library of Renshantang in the north of Jianghuai, which was beginning to take shape, I fell ill.
This disease is menacing, Xiao Ning immediately sent Shen Yan to come forward and take me to another hospital.
Regularly send people to Master Chen's residence to inform him of my condition
I lingered on the sickbed, often in a daze, and in my dreams a voice whispered in my ear, calling my name repeatedly.
"Xiao Ling'er, Xiao Ling'er"
