Painting Doctor Jinhua

"It's very simple. Since your idiot has robbed other people's fertile land, occupied their daughter, and captured some refugees as his own soldiers, you just need to return all these things." The boy said seriously with a relaxed look on his face.

"Give it back? Give it back to whom?" Li became nervous and asked first.

"Of course I'll give it back to my brother Qing." the boy replied.

He kept calling her Brother Qing, and those who didn't know him would think he was a man! But then again, is this legendary miracle doctor a lady or a man?

"Hehe..." Li covered her mouth and laughed, "Boy, don't blame me for not reminding you. Let's not talk about whether my Shishilang really seized other people's fertile land, daughters and refugees as private soldiers. Even if he did, it would be a blessing for these lowly people. In this world, if you want to live a good life, you must either be a noble or sell yourself as a slave to a wealthy family. Without status and the protection of the nobles, you can only wait to be beaten, robbed, or even killed like grass. There is a saying that 'punishments are not imposed on doctors, and laws are not imposed on common people'. In this day and age, the death of a commoner is no big deal."

The boy fell silent. He understood why Li could say this so arrogantly: It is true. In today's world, wars are so frequent. People die every day from wars or diseases. The corpses are piled up on the hills like hills. The government officials can't care about the lives of these common people, nor do they want to.

Seeing the boy lowering his eyes and pondering, Li was very proud again, and then she acted sympathetically: "Young Master, it's not that we are reluctant to use these things as a reward, but your master can't afford them at all. Not only can she not afford them, but she might even be killed!" After a pause, she continued, "How about this, if your master can really cure my Shishilang's illness, my Zheng family will reward you with a hundred pieces of silk and a thousand taels of gold?"

Li smiled brightly, and was even a little dazzled by the boy's handsome face. But the boy narrowed his eyes and smiled, then suddenly frowned and said, "No, my master just regards money as dirt. If you also think that your Zheng Shishilang is a pile of shit, then forget it!"

What do you mean? What does a pile of shit mean? Li's mouth twitched, and he glanced at the old lady's expression, but saw that her face was as gloomy as water, and he secretly sighed that this old woman really had a very good upbringing and demeanor.

Seeing that the boy was about to step into the house, the women behind him rushed forward in panic. The old lady paused for a long time before she put aside her pride and apologized with a smile: "Young Master, don't listen to what this woman says. Your master is a man of high moral integrity and a kind and pleasant person. How can we ordinary people compare to him? Please, young master, have mercy on him and don't bother with this woman." After that, she glared at Li, making her look aggrieved and trembling with fear, and she dared not say anything more.

"It's all according to your master's wishes. I will give you the indentures of all the fertile lands, refugees and women that Shi Silang has seized." The old lady promised sincerely, and hurriedly called a confidant beside her to come over and whispered some things to her.

"Ajia..." Li was still a little unwilling. She was just a second-rate country doctor, and no one knew how good her medical skills were. The family respected her by inviting her to treat the son of a noble family. How could they offer such generous conditions before the patient was even treated? This was clearly not treatment, but taking this opportunity to rob.

Madam Zheng had no idea of ​​what Li was thinking and didn't want to pay attention to it. Following her instructions, the group rushed into the night.

……

The boy ignored the women, stepped over the threshold, and slammed the door shut. His disdainful and arrogant look seemed like he was trying to prevent thieves.

The women who were thought to be thieves all trembled and became bloated with anger.

"Ajia, look..." Li was so angry that she spoke again. She thought that the ladies of the Zheng family were always held high and praised wherever they went, and the common people wanted to lick their toes. How could they have ever suffered such humiliation?

"If you don't speak, no one will think you're dumb!" Madam Zheng stood up straight with her cane and said unhappily, "How come you still don't learn your lesson after being slapped!"

Li choked and her face turned red with shame.

Unlike the women outside who dared not move in the cold wind, the house was as warm as mid-spring. The boy bought some charcoal and lit a fire to keep the "boy" warm. Seeing that he was holding a pen and looking at a spot on the screen with his eyes staring blankly, he came over curiously to take a look.

"Brother Qing, are you painting? What do you want to paint?" the boy asked.

"I don't know what I want to draw. Some things seem to burst out of my mind, but I don't know what they are." The boy replied.

"So what on earth did Brother Qing remember or see in his mind?" the boy tried to ask.

The young man concentrated on remembering, but it seemed that even recalling was an extremely strenuous and painful thing. Soon he frowned, and beads of sweat the size of beans fell on his forehead. Under the candlelight, veins were visible on his forehead, which was so white that it was almost transparent.

The boy quickly stopped him, and said nervously and distressedly: "Brother Qing, don't think about it. If you can't remember it, don't think about it at all. I will tell you everything you want to know. If I don't know something, I will find out and tell you."

The young man's expression slowly regained its composure, his eyes as black as ink gradually calmed down, he sat there upright, his black hair flowing down, his body straight, his white clothes as white as snow, his complexion as white as jade, he looked like a piece of fine jade.

"Fenghuang, you said, my name is Xiao Jinyu, and my nickname is Changqing. This is the name my mother gave me. A month ago, we rushed here from Yecheng, the capital of Qi, right?" he suddenly asked.

"Yes, yes." The boy said repeatedly.

"I'm not quite sure what happened recently. Can you tell me more about it?" the young man said again.

The boy's mood became heavy. He really didn't want to repeat such facts and add to the pain in the heart of the "boy" or "girl". He originally came to repay his gratitude. He finally found his benefactor half a year ago and became one of her subordinates. He also became nominally a brother with the benefactor's daughter, that is, the girl. But just three months ago, the benefactor passed away for no reason, leaving only the two of them to depend on each other. In order to conceal her identity and not attract attention, and to follow the benefactor's last words before her death, the girl has been dressing as a man since then, and relying on the little medical skills she learned from her mother to practice medicine and support herself.

However, just two months ago, the two of them were chased by a group of wolf-like soldiers. While he was escaping with the girl, they accidentally fell down the hillside. The back of the girl's head hit a rock. After waking up, she could not remember anything and became a little stupid.

She didn't know who she was, where she came from, or where she was going, but she only remembered the medical skills that her benefactor taught her before he died, and she even surpassed him better than before.

In order to avoid being hunted down by "those people", they fled from the capital of Qi, Yecheng, to Xingyang County, where they found a paradise and lived incognito. Unexpectedly, a plague broke out in the village. She stayed to treat the villagers, and it took only ten days to cure all the villagers of the plague. It was a month ago that the two of them met Zheng Shishilang, the dandy son of the Zheng family, while enjoying the scenery in Taohuayu.

Zheng Shisilang relied on the fact that he was a son of a prominent family in Xingyang County and bullied the common people here on a daily basis. Somehow he happened to see the girl's appearance that day. Perhaps because he had seen countless men and had been exposed to the beauty of women for a long time, he saw through the girl's body at a glance and wanted to force her to be his concubine.

Of course, what happened next was that he beat Zheng Shisilang severely. It was because of this beating that Zheng Shisilang, in revenge, sent people to find out their residence and stole all their belongings while they were away, including some property left by their benefactor and the indentures of their servants.

Zheng Shisilang's harsh words were that they would not be able to survive in Xingyang County unless the two of them were willing to fall into his trap and willingly become his concubines and slaves. How could he tolerate such bullying? So he thought about finding an opportunity to settle accounts with Zheng Shisilang and take back what belonged to them. But the girl said that the Zheng family of Xingyang was a noble and powerful family, and the entire Xingyang County was under the control of their Zheng family. Confrontation was not a good idea, and the best way was to let him hand it over himself, or let someone in the Zheng family who could make the decision hand it over for him.

So they devised this plan and waited for Zheng Shisilang to come to them on his own initiative, which led to what happened today.

At this point, the boy said indignantly: "Brother Qing, that Zheng Shishilang is really abominable. When Madam Zheng sends him here later, we must take revenge on him."

The boy's expression did not change, he was still confused and calm.

"You said that my mother passed away three months ago. How did she die?" Suddenly, she asked again.

The boy fell silent, and when he didn't know how to answer, he heard a commotion outside the door.

The boy stood up vigilantly and said, "It should be someone who has been sent here. Brother Qing, I will go get him in, and then we will think about how to avenge him. After we have avenged him, I will tell you the rest."

After saying that, he ran out with a bright smile on his face.
