Chapter 9: The Unknown Origin

As a sister, Xuan'er has always taken care of Yifei like this, always thinking about her brother first, and then thinking about herself. Because in her eyes, Ah Di is always a child who needs to be taken care of, he is very timid, cowardly, and needs to be taken care of.

However, now Yifei has made her at a loss, and until now, she has never heard the cheerful and playful 'sister' voice in the past. Not only that, Yifei seems to have grown up overnight, and matured to the point where he was a little caught off guard.

He called his girlfriend by his name, and his feelings were straightforward and bold, which made Xuan'er, who has always been introverted and traditional, feel a little palpitating.

Breaking away from Xuan'er's warm embrace, Yifei stretched out his hand to wipe the dust from Xuan'er's hair. The person in front of him is now all his motivation, and he must protect it.

"Xuan'er, where is the ground medicine?" Yifei called Xuan'er by her name again, and she didn't shy away from it at all, nor did she feel any embarrassment. It feels very natural.

But this made Xuan'er a little uncomfortable, but she didn't feel anything wrong. just looked at Yifei with a little shyness, and replied, "I've divided the medicine, now I'm going to get it." ”

Xuan'er took the opportunity to take off Yifei's hand, got up with blushing cheeks, and took the herbs that had been ground a long time ago.

Xuan'er's actions made Yifei react, she seemed to be too much, women in this era, especially girls who have not left the cabinet, have more traditional thoughts. The keen Xuan'er must have felt her feelings that were different from the emotions of ordinary sisters and brothers.

However, Yifei didn't want to shy away from it.

Taking the medicine sent by Xuan'er, Yifei checked it and grinded the situation of these herbs. Then he nodded in satisfaction.

Xuan'er is worthy of being a doctor, although she has not learned any knowledge about medical skills, but the medicinal powder she grinds out is extremely suitable.

"Xuan'er, stick your tongue out and let me see." Yifei said, standing up.

But Xuan'er was shocked: "Huh? ”

She didn't know what Yifei was going to do, but how shameful it was for a woman to do this.

"Don't worry, I need to check your condition first and dispense the most appropriate amount of medicine according to the severity."

As soon as she heard that it was a disease, Xuan'er calmed down, but she was still not used to Yifei's name for herself, and she always felt a little ambiguous.

A little ashamed stretched out his pink little tongue, but it was only for a moment, and he immediately took it back. Looks too shy. This made Yifei depressed for a while, but he couldn't cry or laugh, "What are you doing, I don't eat your little tongue, look at the way of illness, look at it, I need to observe your tongue coating, and look at your condition." Don't do this. ”

Xuan'er's shyness can be understood, after all, in this era, women have a lot of self-discipline, not to mention the behavior of sticking out their tongues, even showing their faces in front of strangers is a bit taboo.

But Xuan'er promised Yifei to be obedient, so the second time she was much bolder, opened her cherry mouth slightly, stuck out her tongue, and showed it in front of Yifei without shame.

This mouth doesn't matter, but Yifei was scared instead.

Yifei found that there were white dot ulcers on the tip of Xuan'er's tongue and the inner side of the lower lip, the center of the tongue was dry, and there was yellow moss on the side of the tongue.

"Alright." After Yifei finished reading it, he looked at Xuan'er again, and found that the quiet Xuan'er was biting something from time to time when she was nervous, if he guessed correctly, Xuan'er should be biting the flesh on the inside of her lower lip.

It's not really a disease, it's just a habit, and many people do it when they're nervous or upset. But Xuan'er's situation is different.

Now she has a serious respiratory disease, and some respiratory bacteria can infect her mouth, causing oral mucosal ulcers.

But to be honest, Xuan'er's habit is actually very cute. When gritting her teeth, you can see her obvious nervousness, as well as worry.

But now, it must be corrected.

"Xuan'er, don't bite your teeth in the future. I promise you, I will never let you live a stressful and anxious life again. "Maybe to change Xuan'er's habit, the only way to make her happy every day is to don't think nonsense.

"Sister knows." Xuan'er pouted and relaxed her cheeks.

"By the way, Yifei, it's not too early, my sister will go and prepare dinner. Now that you have the fragrant rice you brought home, I can finally eat a good one tonight. Xuan'er then remembered that she and Yifei hadn't eaten anything for several days.

Of course, the main thing is that she wants to avoid Yifei, and for some reason, she finds that her feelings for Yifei have also changed. Of course, she was against it in her heart, and she would not allow such a thing to happen.

After hearing this, Yifei nodded, "Okay, I'll help you, by the way, you can fry the medicine well, you don't have to save rice tonight, you know?" ”

"Huh? Okay, though."

"Don't tell me anything 'gentleman is far away from cooking', that's just lazy people's rhetoric." Yifei seemed to know what Xuan'er was going to say, so he replied first.

In this era, many traditional concepts are deeply ingrained and even become rules. But will he, Meng Yifei, be bound by these rules? He's here to break the rules.

Xuan'er couldn't say anything about Yifei, so she had to agree to Yifei to make a fire. This is also what he requested, because Xuan'er can no longer touch charcoal ash and flying dust.

One of them makes a fire and the other cooks. Although Xuan'er begged Yifei from time to time not to do it, how could she be able to beat this donkey?

And Yifei is not a pampered person, he actually makes a fire to cook at home. And it can also control the fire very well and give Xuan'er the best heat for cooking.

In this way, slowly, Xuan'er no longer blocked, but a little relieved. This is the warmth of home, this is the warmth of home.

Since Yifei's parents died, the two siblings who depend on each other have never felt so happy. At least, Xuan'er didn't.

"By the way, Xuan'er, do you know any antique shops or pharmacies in Yizhou City?" Yifei asked Xuan'er while looking at the fire. He decided to find a job first, so that he could make better use of his abilities, and if he was lucky, he would make a little money, and then rely on his own skills to start a small business, presumably in just two years, and he would be able to change his current life.

Xuan'er didn't know what Yifei was going to do, but since Yifei was asking, she naturally had his reasons, but she actually knew little about things in the city: "The antique shop in the city doesn't know, but there must be no pharmacy in the city, and even if there is, there is no doctor sitting in the hall." ”

"Oh? Why is that? Yifei said depressedly.

Seeing that Yifei frowned a little, Xuan'er put down the soup spoon in her hand, and then said: "That's the case, now that the war is raging, all the doctors who know how to heal have been caught on the front line to save the wounded." And many pharmacies also sell their medicines directly to the front line. Only some of them don't see any doctors in the city now, and some minor illnesses will be caught by their own families. If there is an emergency, the pharmacy will also sell it. ”

"In order to ensure the supply of medicines, various states have issued mountain closure orders, and even in winter, it is necessary to go to the designated mountains and forests to chop firewood."

"Is that so?" After listening to Xuan'er's words, Yifei finally knew why her brother was chased by the officers and soldiers because she went up the mountain to collect medicine without permission. It seems that the war has brought not only pain to the people, but also helplessness.

It seems that it is not possible to find a pharmacy to be a doctor, and if you don't get it, you will be caught on the front line, which is not fun.

"By the way, Xuan'er, do you know that there is a salt merchant named Gao Feiyang in the city?" Suddenly, Meng Yifei thought of Gao Feiyang, the fat man who didn't make a good impression on him.

However, Gao Feiyang is a salt merchant, and Xuan'er must not know much about it.

However, just when Yifei didn't have much thought, suddenly Xuan'er exclaimed: "Ah, Gao Feiyang, is it the Gao Feiyang that grandpa saved?" ”

"Oh?" Yifei was suddenly stunned, he didn't expect that Xuan'er would give him such a surprise when he asked so casually.

"Grandpa saved him?" Yifei asked.

After hearing this, Xuan'er nodded lightly: "Well, grandpa often mentioned before his death that the greatest achievement in his life was to save a child who suffered from smallpox." Smallpox is a very difficult disease, and I heard that even the emperor's imperial physician rarely can treat it. But Grandpa succeeded. And I heard that Gao Feiyang later became a salt merchant, so he must be a good person in his mouth. ”

At that moment, Yifei suddenly had an idea. Unexpectedly, this Gao Feiyang would have such a relationship with his family.
