Chapter 62: A Strange Woman
When the chicken soup in Xiaoyue's bowl bottomed out, Dr. Chen helped his patient to the quiet courtyard.
At this time, Wen Youyou had already instructed Mu Shi to clean up the room where the sundries were originally placed, and he saw Dr. Chen come in, and went to greet them again, and took them to the temporary room where the patient lived.
Satsuki was a little curious about this patient, and she stood at the door of the study, looking at them. The patient looked a little weak, with frivolous steps, a weak appearance, a peasant woman dressed in coarse cloth clothes, with her head bowed all the time.
Wen Youyou turned around and saw Xiao Yue standing by and watching, angry and funny, and gave her a look and asked her to help.
Xiao Yuexin reluctantly went over to help settle the patient.
However, when Satsuki approached and saw the patient's face, she was frightened.
This patient is dressed very ordinarily, but he has an extremely beautiful face, especially the pair of red phoenix eyes, which is very charming and seductive.
Xiao Yue looked at these eyes, faintly feeling a little familiar, she couldn't tell where she had seen them, and she didn't remember them after thinking about it for a long time.
Her staring at the patient like this made Dr. Chen very dissatisfied, and he pretended to cough a few times.
Seeing this, Wen Youyou pushed her arm against Xiaoyue, and she put away her inquiring gaze.
Dr. Chen handed over the patient to Wen Youyou, left the prescription and precautions, and then left very worried.
After settling the patient, Wen Youyou pulled Xiaoyue back to the study.
"This patient is a woman, so I will trouble you to take care of her more in the future. Wen said solemnly.
Xiao Yue pointed to her nose and said, "I? What about Dr. Chen's defense against me like a thief?"
"Hahaha, isn't that because you look good-looking, I'm afraid that you will rob your sweetheart!" Wen Youyou immediately changed to a smile.
"Hmph, don't you worry that this patient is really an epidemic, I'll take care of it and infect me when the time comes?" Xiao Yue flattened her mouth, although she felt that it was most appropriate for her to take care of her, she still had to vent her dissatisfaction.
Wen Youyou patted her on the shoulder and comforted, "Don't worry. He handed over the precautions written by Dr. Chen to Xiao Yue, "If you take care of it according to the method here, there should be nothing wrong." ”
Satsuki took the thin paper full of pages and nodded. It's not that she doesn't want to take care of this patient, but she is very curious about her, and Xiao Yue always feels that she has seen her somewhere, but she can't remember.
After Wen Youyou arranged to take care of the patient to Xiao Yue, she went to write a song back to the imperial city to restore her life, while Xiao Yue took the medicinal soup that Mu Shi had just boiled and sent it to this strange woman. She held the medicine bowl in one hand and gently pushed open the door with the other, and she couldn't see anything in the darkness of the room, but she remembered that when she came in just now, she saw a bed, a table, and a bench in the room.
At this time, Mu Shi rushed to deliver a candlestick with a burning candle to her, and she took the candle before entering the house.
By the light of the candles, Satsuki saw a person lying on the side of the bed at the end of the room. The man didn't seem to notice that Satsuki had entered the house, and continued to fall asleep.
Satsuki placed the candlestick and medicine bowl on the table, and she gently approached the bed, about to wake her up. Coldly, she suddenly turned around and faced Xiao Yue, which scared Xiao Yue's heart like a beat.
"Who are you?" the strange woman's voice was delicate.
Xiao Yue tried to calm herself and said in a low voice, "I am Master Wen, and I will take care of you while you are recuperating here. ”
"That's really a young man. Seeing this, the strange woman struggled to get up, and Xiao Yue did not hesitate to help each other when she saw this, perhaps she did it extremely naturally, and this woman didn't even feel the difference between men and women.
Xiao Yue helped her up, let her rest against the bed, and turned around to get the medicine bowl on the table, "This is your medicine today, drink it while it's hot." ”
"Hmm. The strange woman snorted weakly.
Xiao Yue walked up to her and saw that she was rubbing her temples with her slender index finger, looking like a beautiful woman lying on the couch, and suddenly noticed that something was wrong.
The woman saw Xiao Yue staring at her, and her face instantly became red, "Childe, let me do it myself." She reached out and took the medicine bowl from Satsuki's hand.
Xiao Yue realized that she had overstepped herself, after all, she was still dressed as a man, "The girl is getting better." ”
Xiao Yue saw her pursing her lips and gently blowing on the decoction in the bowl, knowing why Dr. Chen fell in love with this petite and lovely patient.
"Well, it's much better. She looked up and smiled and said to Xiao Yue, "Actually, I want to leave, but Dr. Chen said that he wanted to keep me for a few more days." ”
"Oh," Satsuki said thoughtfully, "is the girl in a hurry to leave?"
The strange woman pretended not to hear and did not answer, and lowered her head and began to take small sips of the decoction.
The more this person is like this, the more curious Xiao Yue becomes, seeing that she is dressed like an ordinary rural woman, but her words and deeds are as beautiful as everyone's ladies, and when she saw her fingers just now, Xiao Yue found that her fingers were slender and her skin was white, and she looked like she had done farm work.
Seeing that she didn't respond, Xiao Yue was suspicious but didn't break it, "Is this medicine bitter?" Do you want me to ask the kitchen if there is any candied fruit for you to get a little pressure taste?"
The strange woman smiled slightly and said, "It's a bit bitter, but you shouldn't be able to find the candied fruit now, right?" Childe doesn't have to bother, Dr. Chen added some licorice to the medicinal soup. ”
How could an ordinary peasant woman be so squeamish and eat candied fruit, Xiaoyue became more and more suspicious, "It's still Dr. Chen's thoughtfulness." She sighed and complimented, "Then do you want to eat something after drinking the medicine?"
The woman didn't want to talk to her and continued to drink the medicine, but her stomach growled uncontrollably.
Xiao Yue laughed secretly, turned around and called Mu Shi, "Do you go to the kitchen to see if there is anything else to eat?" Mu Shi immediately went to the kitchen after hearing this.
Satsuki turned around and didn't continue to talk to the strange woman, but sat at the table, secretly observing her every move.
The woman's posture of drinking the medicine was elegant, unhurried, looking intently at the medicine in the bowl, occasionally frowning because it was too bitter, and after a while, she slowly drank the medicine.
Seeing this, Xiao Yue got up and took the medicine bowl in her hand, "You rest for the time being, I'll ask the adult's little servant to find you something to eat." ”
"Thank you, Childe. She nodded slightly tiredly, then leaned back on the head of the bed.
"I heard Dr. Chen say that if you continue to take medicine, your illness should be cured in a few days," Xiao Yue continued to probe, "Do you have any relatives and friends?
The strange woman continued to close her eyes and recuperate, not answering Satsuki's questioning. Xiaoyue was a little annoyed, this person didn't get a drop of water, she thought about it, and if she wasn't in a hurry, she wouldn't continue to ask questions at this time.
After a while, someone knocked lightly on the door outside the house, Xiao Yue knew that it was Mu Shi who sent food, she looked back, but it was not Mu Shi, but Xu Chengchang.
