Shen Yuexi and Xiao Zhuo were having dinner with Mrs. Feng, when Feng Zhang's loud voice sounded outside the door.

"Mom, Doctor You is here."

Mrs. Feng put down her chopsticks and said to Shen Yuexi, "You two eat first, and I'll go talk to Doctor You."

Xiao Zhuo stood up and said, "No problem, let's go together."

Seeing Xiao Zhuo stand up, Shen Yuexi quickly swallowed the rice in her mouth, put down the bowl, stood up and said to Xiao Zhuo, "I'll help you over."

Although I was only half full, Xiao Zhuo's matters were more important.

The three of them came to the outhouse together and found Feng Zhang walking into the house with an old man carrying a medicine box. The old man looked about sixty years old, had a beard under his chin, and was wearing a double-breasted short coat.

"Doctor You, this is Mr. Pei." Feng Zhang introduced Xiao Zhuo to Dr. You.

Shen Yuexi and Xiao Zhuo had already decided not to use their real names in order not to be discovered by those who were chasing them. Xiao Zhuo used the queen's surname, and the queen's surname was Pei. Today, Xiao Zhuo is Pei Zhuo, while Shen Yuexi changed his name. Bright moon.

Doctor You glanced at the two of them with a hint of surprise in his eyes.

Xiao Zhuo and Shen Yuexi were outstanding in appearance, and they were not ordinary villagers at first glance. However, Feng Zhang had already told him about their situation on the road. He was not polite at the time and invited Xiao Zhuo to an unoccupied room for treatment. Mrs. Feng and Feng Zhang went to eat by himself.

Shen Yuexi followed and took off the clothes on Xiao Zhuo's right shoulder to expose the wound. Then he took a lamp and illuminated it for Doctor You.

Doctor You stroked his beard, stepped forward to take a look, turned to Shen Yuexi and said, "Is this an arrow wound?"

Shen Yuexi was well prepared and said with a sad face: "Exactly, when our husband and wife were robbed by bandits, my husband fought with them and was hit by an arrow."

Doctor You frowned and said nothing, took out a cotton swab from the medicine box and probed into the depth of the wound.

Xiao Zhuo's body trembled slightly.

Shen Yuexi knew that he must be feeling pain, so she gently held his hand, and Xiao Zhuo closed his eyes and remained silent.

Doctor You took out the cotton swab and put it under the lamp to look at it. Shen Yuexi also tilted her head to look and found that the white cotton swab was covered with pus and blood. She felt nervous, it was because the wound was suppurating.

"Master Pei's arrow wound has been injured for many days and has worsened." Doctor You opened the medicine box. "It will be more difficult to treat."

At this time, Feng Zhang had finished his meal and walked in. He happened to hear Doctor You being evasive.

He was a straightforward person and could not tolerate beating around the bush. He pulled Dr. You's sleeve and said in a rough voice: "Doctor, please give me an accurate answer as to whether it can be cured or not."

"I can't cure it. You'd better go to the county town and ask for a doctor as soon as possible. This young man's injury cannot be delayed any longer. Otherwise, his life will be in danger." Doctor You told the truth, stood up and left.

Just as Mrs. Feng entered the room with a bowl of chicken soup, she saw Doctor You leaving in a hurry. The three people in the room looked heavy and asked quickly: "Zhang Zi, why is Doctor You gone?"

"Mother," Feng Zhang grabbed his hair with a sad look on his face, "Doctor You said that he can't cure Mr. Pei's injury. If he doesn't cure it, I'm afraid..."

"If you are confused, then go to the city and find a doctor quickly," Old Mrs. Feng urged, "Why are you still here in a daze?"

Shen Yuexi saw Feng Zhang's expression of embarrassment and knew that he had something to hide.

Looking around the Feng family, there are three adobe houses with several holes in the paper windows, which make a roaring sound when the summer night wind blows.

The green vegetables and tofu on the table just now had little oil and water, and the chicken soup that was just brought in had only a few chicken bones in it...

"Brother Feng," she asked, thinking of the two tiger skins, "can doctors in the county take credit?"

It was getting late now, and the markets in the city must have dispersed. When daylight came, she and Feng Zhang could go to the county town to sell the tiger skins, which would be enough to pay the doctor's fees and buy some food and clothing.

Feng Zhang sighed: "No doctor in the county would accept credit, unless he is a powerful person in the county."

Shen Yuexi also frowned after hearing this.

Doctors' credit also depends on the person. As for the poor, that is something that should not be even thought about.

Everyone fell into silence.

Xiao Zhuo sat upright at the table, with a cold expression on his face, listening to the conversation between the three of them, and said: "Yue Xi, come here."

Shen Yuexi walked up to him and saw him taking out a jade pendant from his waist. The beads were round and jade-like, and the color was of high quality. At first glance, it was a piece of fine white jade.

"Bring this jade pendant to the doctor."

Shen Yuexi was surprised.

On the way to exile, he never expected that Xiao Zhuo would have such a valuable thing hidden in his body.

What can be collected by him must be something he cherishes. It is never good to mortgage such valuable things to others.

Seemingly sensing her concerns, Xiao Zhuo said lightly: "Things outside the body are not important things."

But the more Xiao Zhuo spoke lightly, the more Shen Yuexi felt that this thing was different.

"Go back quickly."

Don't give any chance to refuse at all.

Shen Yuexi: "..."

But without further delay, Xiao Zhuo's injury could not wait any longer. She picked up the jade pendant and was about to walk out the door, but she was grabbed by Xiao Zhuo again.

Xiao Zhuo grabbed her, turned to Mrs. Feng and said, "I wonder if the old lady has clean men's clothes."

Old Mrs. Feng thought that Xiao Zhuo wanted to change into a new set of clothes, so she took out a set of new clothes from the inner room: "This is what I wore when I got married. My boss wore it once and didn't want to wear it again. How about you?" If you don't mind the general, just use it, but Zhang Zi's father is not as tall as you."

Xiao Zhuo took it, thanked Mrs. Feng, and handed it to Shen Yuexi: "Here, wear this men's clothes and go."

Shen Yuexi knew what Xiao Zhuo meant. It was inconvenient for a woman to walk outside at night, and it was even more unsafe for her to look like a beauty.

She took it and said, "Okay, I'll put it on right away."

Only then did Mrs. Feng realize that Mr. Pei was wearing it for his wife.

Thinking about it, it is not very safe to rush to the city at night. In addition, Mrs. Pei is really beautiful, so she is afraid of being noticed by the gangsters.

After changing clothes with Mrs. Feng in the back room, Shen Yuexi rolled up the cuffs and trousers that had grown out, tied up her hair, and walked to the outer room, where she appeared in front of Xiao Zhuo and Feng Zhang like a handsome boy.

When Feng Zhang saw it, he scratched his head and said with a smile: "I didn't expect Mrs. Pei to be very presentable in men's clothes."

Shen Yuexi knew that he was a rough guy, but she didn't take it seriously. She looked at Xiao Zhuo and wanted to know how he would evaluate her.

Xiao Zhuo looked her up and down, nodded, and said nothing.

"If Mrs. Pei were a man, she would also be a handsome young master," Old Mrs. Feng urged the two of them with a smile, "You guys go together, go and come back quickly."

Before leaving, Mrs. Feng stuffed Shen Yuexi with another fifty copper coins.

Xiao Zhuo stood at the door, watching Shen Yuexi and Feng Zhang leave with the tiger skin, and did not return to the house for a long time.

Mrs. Feng came over and said with a smile: "You two have just gotten married, right?"

Xiao Zhuo nodded: "Exactly."

"That's it. When Zhang Zi's father and I just got married, we were inseparable. I would follow him when he went to work in the fields. Your wife is a capable person. You go back to the house and rest first. Don't let your wife worry."

As she spoke, Old Mrs. Feng called to Xiao Zhuo: "Come in quickly and drink the chicken soup first, otherwise it will get cold."

Xiao Zhuo was interrupted by Mrs. Feng, and her face turned slightly hot in the dark night.

He murmured in a low voice: Inseparable? Could this be husband and wife?
