Chapter 20 I don't want to eat your tofu
When I heard the voice, it seemed that Xie Youzu was coming.
She asked Sanniang to put the small dumplings in the cabinet temporarily, and then walked out alone and opened the door.
Xie Youzu stood outside the door, as if he had been hunting for a day, his face was red and fluttering, and his forehead was slightly sweaty.
"Brother Xie is here, have you eaten?" Wen Yao hurriedly greeted.
"Not yet, it's okay, I'll go back and eat, my mother cooked. I just came back and heard that you saved Uncle Xu's Ade on the back mountain today, so I stopped by and asked. β
Wen Yao was afraid that the father and son in the family would be seen by Xie Youzu, so she didn't invite him into the house, and nodded:
"yes, that's the thing."
"Everyone said that your medical skills are very powerful, even better than Doctor Ma in our village, and you rescued Ade in three or two clicks, and after a while, you found out the herbs for treating snake venom and brought it back to Aunt Xu...... I couldn't believe it at the time, but it turned out to be true. Xie Youzu was very surprised, "Erniang, when did you become so capable?" Do you really know how to heal? β
Wen Yao also smiled: "Well, I have learned some in the Qiao family in the past two years." Then by the way, he found an errand in Alfalfa Town, and said what was the matter of helping in Jishitang.
When Xie Youzu heard this, he became more and more surprised, he couldn't imagine that Wen Yao had done so many things in the few days since he came.
Although he also knew that Wen Yao went to Jishitang to help take care of the family, he was still a little worried:
"Erniang, have you really decided to go to the pharmacy to do things? You've never worked outside, and the town is no better than our village, it's a mix of dragons and snakes, you're a woman, it's inconvenient, right? β
Wen Yao smiled: "It's okay, Brother Xie." I know you're worried about me, but I can't sit at home and rely on a few mouthfuls of rice leaking out of my fingers in the second room to feed a few mouthfuls in the house. Since I have this ability to use it to help my family, it's good. There are still a lot of women out there who do business and help, and there aren't many of them. I'm just the daughter of a medicine family, and I'm not a noble daughter, it's okay. β
Xie Youzu heard her say this, and didn't say anything more, but just looked at her and sighed a little more:
"You're really not the same as you used to be."
The former Erniang was weak, easy to handle, soft in ear, cowardly in heart, not to mention taking the initiative to support her family and begging for a living, and she was so anxious to cry at the slightest trivial.
Now, there seems to be a layer of light shining all over his body, and people can't take their eyes off it.
"Then you should be careful when you do things outside, and if something happens, you must tell me."
"Okay," Wen Yao agreed, thinking of something again, "By the way, Brother Xie, can you help me inquire if there is a village near our village that has been lost recently?"
"Huh?" Xie Youzu was suspicious. "What are you asking about this?"
"Oh... It was I who met an acquaintance in the town, and she asked me to help me find out. Wen Yao casually made an excuse.
Xie Youzu didn't doubt it: "Oh, that's it, I haven't heard of it." But let me inquire for you. β
"Okay, then thank you, brother."
"It's a small thing." Xie Youzu saw that it was not early, so he said, "Then I'll go back first." You go in first. β
Wen Yao also bowed her head and covered the door and went in first.
Xie Youzu looked at the closed door and couldn't help but settle down.
Erniang didn't let him in tonight, and kept talking at the door.
I always feel weird.
But he didn't think much about it, turned around and went back.

Before going to bed, Wen Yao went to the firewood room to feed the man medicine as usual.
Today, the man's pulse is much better.
It seems that the recovery is quite fast.
After feeding the medicine, Wen Yao was about to leave, but she smelled a smell.
The smell of sweat.
She sniffed, and immediately discovered the source of the scentβ
It came from the man.
She took a breath.
There are no adult men's clothes in the house.
Since the man was rescued, he has not changed his clothes, let alone bathed.
Naturally, it's going to be rancid......
In addition, his wounds had to be cleaned.
Otherwise, it is easy to fester.
She thought about it, went outside to fetch a bucket of water, brought a scarf in, and then helped the man to sit up and let him lean against the wall.
Layer by layer, he took off his clothes.
It wasn't until the last layer that the fingers stagnated.
"Don't blame me, I don't want to eat your tofu, and I don't have any special thoughts about people like you who have a wife and children, but I can only wipe you when I see that you are getting rancid. β¦β¦ Okay, if you don't speak, then I'll take you as a promise. β
She finished silently muttering before she took off the last layer of white shirt for the man with closed eyes.
Then, use a wrung out towel to start wiping him up.
As a doctor, it's not like she hasn't seen the body of the opposite sex.
But it's rarely so deep.
Especially when it comes to the more private parts of the man, he will hesitate a little.
However, it is not ashamed, but there is a sense of guilt.
After all, people are probably people who have wives.
But she also told herself that she was a doctor at the moment, so she was at ease.
After wiping her body, Wen Yao wiped a handful of sweat.
Lay the naked man down and covered him with a quilt.
There are no adult men's clothes in the house.
His clothes were too dirty to wear.
It seems that when I go to town, I have to buy two sets of men's clothes.
"You're a little wronged tonight. I'll wash my clothes first, and I'll change them tomorrow. β
Wen Yao took the man's dirty clothes and carried the bucket and went out first.
After washing the man's clothes, she was afraid that someone would come and see her, so she deliberately hung them in the firewood room before returning to the house.

In the evening of the next day, Xie Youzu came again and replied to Wen Yao's inquiry last night, saying that he had not heard that anyone had disappeared in a nearby village recently.
Wen Yao stood at the door and listened, and couldn't help but lose her mind slightly.
It stands to reason that if someone really loses a father and son, it should be considered a big deal, and they will definitely ask around to find it.
Look at it this way now...... Could it be that the father and son are not from the nearby village at all?
But if it weren't for the people nearby, how could they faint by the river in Panshan Village?
Could it be an outsider passing by?
It's a pity that the man doesn't have any tokens or anything that can prove his identity, and now he is in a coma, so he can't ask anything at all.
She could only pull back her thoughts: "Oh, that's it. I know. There's Brother Raucie. β
"It's okay," Xie Youzu put down the two pheasants again, "This is from today's hunting, and I will make soup for your family Shiro." If you do, make up for it. β
Seeing this, Wen Yao hurriedly excused herself: "Brother Xie, no need, we haven't finished what you gave last time." And as I said, I've found an errand now and can support my family. Also, I brought a lot of food back from my last trip to the town, and I haven't finished it at home. β
"If you don't finish eating, you can eat it slowly, and it won't spoil, what are you afraid of." Xie Youzu smiled innocently.
