Chapter 24 Xiao Zhuo’s smile

After the wound was treated, Dr. Hua asked, "Young man, how does the wound feel now?"

Xiao Zhuo raised his right arm and moved it a little, nodded and said: "Thank you, Doctor Hua, the wound is no longer serious."

Doctor Hua quickly raised his hand and gently pressed down his arm, his face serious.

"Young man, don't move. Although your wound is okay for the time being, remember not to touch it with water, and don't wield a sword for seven days. When the wound heals, I will come over to remove the stitches for you."

Shen Yuexi interrupted: "It will take seven days to dismantle it?"

"Exactly." Doctor Hua said.

After Doctor Hua finished giving instructions, he took out a piece of paper with Chinese ink from the medicine box, scrawled a prescription, blew on the ink on it, handed it to Shen Yuexi, and said, "Take one dose in the morning and evening until the wound heals."

"Thank you, doctor," Shen Yuexi happily took the prescription and said to Doctor Hua, "Doctor, I haven't paid you the medical fee yet."

Doctor Hua stood up, put the utensils back into the box, and said: "Two liang."

Shen Yuexi felt very sorry that Dr. Hua came all the way and only wanted a medical fee. She took out five taels of silver from her arms and handed it to Dr. Hua with both hands.

"Not so many," Doctor Hua waved his hand, "Just two taels will do."

When Shen Yuexi saw his refusal, she probably was being polite. She took back one tael and handed the remaining four taels to Doctor Hua: "The weather is so hot, and you traveled such a long way to cure my husband. How about paying for the medical treatment?"

Doctor Hua had excellent medical skills, and Xiao Zhuo was wearing a mask, so he was sensible enough not to ask any more questions. Based on these alone, giving him a few more taels was not an exaggeration.

To her surprise, Doctor Hua still refused to accept it and waved his hands repeatedly: "I am not short of money, I just have an unkind request."

"Just tell me, doctor," Shen Yuexi responded cheerfully.

"I wonder if there is any powder left on Mr. Pei's wound. I want to take a look."

Shen Yuexi immediately shut her mouth.

Just tell me, if you tell a lie, you need to tell countless lies to cover it up. She had just told Xiao Zhuo before that there were many medicinal powder shops, and it seemed that this kind of medicinal powder could be found everywhere.

The old doctor exposed her as soon as he came.

Just when she didn't know how to answer, she caught a glimpse of Xiao Zhuo's narrow eyes and glanced at her, and said slowly: "I was injured because I was saved by someone. When I woke up, the person had left. As for the source of this medicinal powder, I have no way of knowing. "

Shen Yuexi glanced at Xiao Zhuo guiltily, but she didn't expect that this man would help her lie.

I just don’t know how to find reasons to deal with Xiao Zhuo later.

When Doctor Hua heard this, he sighed in disappointment: "It's a pity, it's a pity that we have no chance to see him."

He sighed, picked up the medicine box, and walked out the door, forgetting to take the medical fee.

Shen Yuexi chased out and happened to meet Doctor Hua's grandson, so she gave him the four taels of silver in her hand. Together with Feng Zhang, she sent her grandfather and grandson to the entrance of the village.

When she got back to the house, she immediately went into the kitchen. She wanted to make something delicious by herself.

There are two types of singles. One is those who cannot cook by themselves and only eat ready-made food. The other is those who know how to cook and are very particular about what they do. She is the latter type.

It was almost noon when she came back, and she only ate a steamed bun. She bought so many delicious things, and it would be a pity for her stomach if she didn't make a good meal.

The kitchen was steaming with steam and the spatulas were noisy. Mrs. Feng was cooking. When she saw her coming in, she quickly stopped her with a smile: "Ms. Pei, the kitchen is small, so I'll do it. I've already stewed the meat on the stove and heated the rice. I'm hungry. Just eat first."

Shen Yuexi raised her head to look at the sky. The sun was already heading to the west. She touched her flat belly and was not polite. She went to fill up the food and brought it to Xiao Zhuo.

As soon as he entered the room, he saw Xiao Zhuo leaning on the bed, closing his eyes and concentrating.

Shen Yuexi called softly: "Husband, it's time to eat."

She bought a lot of things today, and the food was no longer clear and watery. There was a large bowl of stewed meat, and a plate of roasted tofu with scallions and two fried eggs.

She and Xiao Zhuo had suffered a lot of physical damage during this period, so they needed to make up for it more.

Xiao Zhuo hummed lightly, got out of bed and sat at the peeled paint table: "Thank you for your hard work these days."

They all thanked them so solemnly, and Shen Yuexi was too embarrassed to eat by herself, so she quickly put down her chopsticks.

"It's not hard. My husband has taken me along all this way to escape. Without my husband, I wouldn't have survived until now."

What she said was all the truth, and there really was no situation between the two of them in which one would save the other.

The pursuers would not let them go, and now she could only hold tightly to the person who could protect her.

She told Xiao Zhuo what she saw when she entered the city today.

"Now the streets and alleys in the city are full of wanted posters for you, so you'd better not go out on weekdays."

Sea fishing notices are only posted in important places like county towns, and remote villages like Daliang Village will not be affected for the time being. You can seize the time to let Xiao Zhuo heal.

Xiao Zhuofeng's eyes were dark, the corners of his eyes were red, and the hand holding the chopsticks was trembling slightly. It was obvious that he was aroused again.

Shen Yuexi advised: "Eat enough and have a good rest, so that we can kill the enemy. Since the other party won't let us go, then we have to make them live a restless life."

Who told her to go into exile, flee, and be hunted down as soon as she came in? This evil aura included not only the emperor, but also the people in the Duke's Mansion.

She suffered here and those people lived happily.

The two sides are hurting each other, who is afraid of whom?

She decided to confront the emperor and took a bite of the meat, as if to vent her anger.

Xiao Zhuo looked at Shen Yuexi, who was angrily grabbing the food across from him, and a low laugh suddenly escaped from his throat, his handsome features shining brightly.

Shen Yuexi raised her head in confusion, with several question marks appearing on her head.

What she said made Xiao Zhuo laugh.

This was the first time she had seen Xiao Zhuo smile since she was demoted and exiled, with a cheerful smile on his face and eyes. It was like seeing the blue sky after clearing the clouds, and she suddenly became enlightened.

Xiao Zhuo smiled while picking up the rice bowl on the table and started eating.

Shen Yuexi bit her chopsticks in embarrassment. Xiao Zhuo was very gentle even when eating. Looking at herself, the bowls and chopsticks hit each other, and the vegetable soup dripped on the table... It was simply too miserable to watch.

The prince who has received a strict etiquette education is different.

She slowed down her meal and tried not to make any noise.

Xiao Zhuo's wound will take at least a week to heal, and she can use this time to earn some money to meet the expenses along the way.

This is no small amount.

Today she spent more than ten taels of silver in one breath, and only had more than thirty taels in hand.

Since the frontier is a poor place, life must be even more difficult, and it must be even more difficult to make money there. Although it is also a remote and remote countryside, it is better than the frontier place where chickens cannot lay eggs.

After finishing the meal, she cleared the table and gave the clothes she bought today to Mrs. Feng.

Xiao Zhuo needs to rest at Feng's house during the day. She can wander around the village when she has nothing to do. See if she can use the universal manufacturing machine to make something to earn money.

After Xiao Zhuo recovered from his injury, they had to set off for the borderland. Without enough money along the way, they might not be able to make it.
