Traveling through the Republic of China, I married a dead person

Facing Su Bai's sudden question, Wan Qili chuckled: "Miss Su, my eldest young lady, what's wrong with you? Why are you asking such a strange question?"

"Don't interrupt me and answer my questions truthfully, or I'll send someone to send you back to Shanghai!"

"You're not serious, are you?" Wan Qili raised her voice eight degrees: "I didn't do anything wrong?"

"Don't play tricks on me. You were living a good life in Shanghai, but you came to a small mountain town like this to be a servant. Do you dare to say you don't have a purpose?"

"Okay, I'll tell you."

According to Wan Qili, it was her father's idea to let her come to Longxing.

In the eyes of Manager Wan, his daughter is very smart and can learn anything quickly, but there is one thing: she can't concentrate on anything. She has learned sending radio messages, rescuing, shooting, driving, playing the violin, cooking... She has learned a lot of things, but she has not been able to stick with any of them.

Ever since he helped Su Bai inquire about the list of pharmaceutical equipment and raw materials, Manager Wan felt that Su Bai was not an ordinary person. He also knew something about Su Bai's environment in the Kong Mansion. He knew that what Su Bai needed most was someone he could trust, and his daughter was the most suitable one.

He believed that his daughter would help Su Bai a lot after she came to Su Bai's side and become Su Bai's right-hand man.

Of course he had a purpose. His daughter had studied first aid, which was considered an entry into the medical field. He wanted his daughter to learn pharmaceutical manufacturing from Su Bai.

It makes sense to put it this way. The motive is there, and the reasons for the motive are sufficient, but Su Bai still doesn't quite believe what Wan Qili said.

At this time, the second young lady rushed into the room shouting, "My, my mother is awake!"

Su Bai and Wan Qili came to the west wing, and the second wife was still in a coma.

Only then did I realize that it was the Second Wife who had just let out a sigh of relief.

"Don't you think you're awake?" Kong Yun asked.

Su Bai nodded: "She should be waking up soon. After the anesthetic wears off, she will wake up even if it hurts."

"What should I do?" Kong Yun was so anxious that he kept twisting his upper body.

"It's okay, just give yourself an injection of morphine when the time comes." Wan Qili said from the side.

"Are you going to give my mother an injection?" Kong Yun immediately held Wan Qili's hand and asked.

Su Bai has spoken, and they all saw the operation. It was Wan Qili who was performing the operation almost the entire process. Kong Yun should express her gratitude to Wan Qili.

"Thank you," Kong Yun shook Wan Qili's hand: "Zi Yan is very capable, I didn't expect you to be more capable than Zi Yan!"

Su Bai immediately frowned: "Miss Wan is not a maid, but an assistant I hired. She does the maid's work for me on a voluntary basis. You should call her Miss Wan from now on."

"Miss Wan, you came to Longxing from Shanghai to learn medicine from my sister-in-law, right?" Kong Man's words were not very pleasing to the eye, but Wan Qili answered very straightforwardly, "Yes, but I'm too stupid. I don't know if I can learn it."

"Of course you can!" The second young lady's hand had not yet let go of Wan Qili: "My sister-in-law is the best doctor in the world. Even if you can learn 80% of it, it will be enough!"

The second young lady was very affectionate towards Wan Qili. She told Wan Qili that when she arrived at Shili Peak and learned that her mother had been in a coma for two days, her first reaction was to take her mother home. Only her eldest sister-in-law in the world could save her.

Such exaggerated praise made Su Bai's face a little hot. However, everyone likes nice words, and he felt quite happy when the Second Miss said that.

"You don't know how many people my sister-in-law has saved, right? Let me count for you..." Kong Yun let go of Wan Qili with one hand, and was about to count on his fingers for Wan Qili to hear, when Kong Man interrupted him: "Yunyun!"

Kong Yun immediately shut up: "Hehe, it's a lot anyway."

"Okay, it's getting late, it's time to go to bed. Yunyun, you have to work hard today. I'll ask Tianyi to bring you a mat and blanket. Sleep next to your mother. Once she wakes up, call me immediately."

"No need," Wan Qili immediately took over and said, "I'll also move my bedding over and sleep here. If nothing serious happens, I won't disturb Miss Su."

"That's great!" Kong Yun grabbed Wan Qili's hand and shook it again.

"How about...I sleep with you guys too?" Kong Man also came to join in the fun.

In terms of age, Wan Qili is only a few years older than Kong Man and Kong Yun, but she is much more mature.

Anyway, we can barely be considered peers.

Su Bai was too lazy to care about them and went back to his room to sleep.

……

When I arrived at the west wing in the morning, the second wife was already awake.

The high fever also subsided.

"Take a rest and don't talk." Su Bai said to the second wife, who blinked twice in agreement.

Wan Qili told Su Bai that the second wife woke up in the early morning and she had injected her with morphine.

"Tell the kitchen to cook some porridge with some dates, and then ask Guo Deyi to go to the market to buy two chickens. The second wife's body will not recover in two or three days. If she can eat, try to let her eat as much as possible."

Su Bai told Wan Qili to use a larger dose of penicillin, to be injected once in the morning and once in the afternoon today, and then see how the situation is tomorrow.

Su Bai remembered something. Since Kong Li had set up sentries along the mountain and anyone coming out of the mountain would be killed without mercy, how did the second young lady and Xu Tianyi come back carrying the second wife?

"The soldiers guarding the city were about to question us, but Captain Bai waved his hand and let us in." said the second lady.

"Oh, I have to go out for something. You guys take care of the second wife and try not to talk to her."

Su Bai left the backyard and came to the front yard. When he turned around, he found Kong Man following him, so he stopped immediately.

Before I could ask her, she spoke first: "I didn't come out with you. Didn't you ask Butler Guo to buy chicken? I came to find Butler Guo."

"You can follow me if you want. I'm going to the county government to ask County Magistrate Cheng something. Do you want to go?"

"Then walk slower. I'll catch up with you after I finish talking to Butler Guo!" Kong Man looked very happy.

Su Bai also felt that his relationship with Kong Man could not continue to be so tense. No matter how cold she was to him, she always stood on his side at every critical moment.

This was enough. Su Bai didn't want to waste his brain trying to guess what was wrong with Kong Man. His mind was almost in a mess.

It would be good if she could behave normally, not affect her mood and not cause trouble for herself.

When Su Bai arrived at the gate of the county government, Kong Man caught up with him.

"Sister-in-law, have you been waiting for me?"

"No, I just arrived. Let's go in."

This mentally ill young lady actually came up and put her arm around Su Bai.

"What rare guests!" Cheng Zifeng welcomed the aunt and sister-in-law into his office with a smile on his face.

Su Bai told Cheng Zifeng roughly about the second wife's experience and asked him if he had heard any news about Japanese activities in the mountains recently.

Cheng Zifeng nodded: "Yes, it was introduced half a month ago, but the higher-ups didn't allow us to manage it."

Su Bai understood that although Chairman Han rejected the Japanese demand for "autonomy for the five provinces in North China", he had private contacts with the Japanese.

This is probably the reason why Cheng Zifeng said that the higher-ups didn't allow him to intervene.

"I just heard from Mrs. Kong that the second wife was attacked at Shili Peak?" Cheng Zifeng asked Su Bai.

Su Bai nodded.

Cheng Zifeng looked at Su Bai and then at Kong Man.

Su Bai understood what he meant: "County Magistrate Cheng, you can say whatever you want. Kong Man is not an outsider."

"If..." Cheng Zifeng paused and said, "If the people from Shili Peak have any contact with the Kong Mansion, let them leave as soon as possible. It's very dangerous there."
