After two days, after taking the medicinal soup prepared by Gu Yun, Xiao Niu's condition improved rapidly.
Xiao Niu can even get out of bed and walk, he no longer coughs, and his face is as rosy as that of a normal person.
After seeing this, Gu Yuer couldn't help but sigh: "Brother and Sister Rong are indeed the best partners. With you here, there is no disease that you can't cure!"
Da Niu now treated Rong Su and Gu Yun as miracle doctors. He nodded repeatedly when he heard Gu Yuer's words.
"That's right, you two are simply a miraculous doctor couple!"
Gu Yun suddenly felt a little uncomfortable after hearing this compliment, and he looked at Rong Su embarrassedly from time to time.
Rong Su was calm, after all, she didn't care much about the name.
But when Shen Peiqing heard it, he just felt it was harsh and uncomfortable, and he clicked his tongue coldly.
"Not necessarily, that's a title only people in the martial arts world would use. You're just doctors, not martial artists. Calling you that is inappropriate."
These words were not pleasant to hear. Rong Su didn't care about the title at first, but now that Shen Peiqing mocked her like this, she suddenly felt a little dissatisfied.
She sneered at him and said, "Whether it's suitable or not is none of your business. Just drink your medicine. If you have time, go back to picking your beans!"
Shen Peiqing was so angry that his eyes widened after being confronted by Rong Su, but he couldn't think of anything to say in response for the time being. He could only choose to angrily gulp down the medicine soup, then threw the empty bowl away and got up and left.
With a clang, the bowl was turned over by him. Gu Yuer and Yulan were both frightened by the sound and their shoulders trembled.
Yulan whispered to Gu Yuer, "Why is Mr. Shen so angry so early in the morning?"
Gu Yuer looked at Shen Peiqing who disappeared at the door, feeling inexplicably proud. She raised the corners of her mouth and showed an expression of confusion.
"Who knows? Maybe today's medicine is too bitter."
Yulan couldn't understand and murmured softly, "The medicine is bitter? A grown man shouldn't lose his temper, right?"
Two days later, the calf's illness was almost cured, except that his face was still a little haggard due to lack of diet.
Big Cow even sold some things for this purpose, and then bought a lot of meat and eggs at the market to feed the calf.
While cooking, Da Niu would also cook a portion and send it to Rong Su and others as a thank you gift.
Seeing Da Niu like this, Rong Su took a little as a token of appreciation, and then expressed her gratitude.
"Doctor Rong, please help me and Xiao Niu. These are just small things and may not appeal to you, but I hope you can take them all." Da Niu looked worried, as if he was worried that she would look down on the meat and eggs he brought.
Rong Su noticed Da Niu's worry and caution, and shook her head, saying, "No. I know you're not well off right now, and these are the things you can afford. I didn't save you for these things. I'm taking a little as a token of my gratitude for your kindness. Take it back, and you can thank me later when you're able to."
In the first part of the sentence, Daniu was still worried that Rong Su would look down on him, but the second part of the sentence reminded him.
Just because you can’t repay me now doesn’t mean you won’t have the chance to do so in the future.
After understanding Rong Su's intention, Daniu no longer forced Rong Su to accept his gift. He carried the gift and said to her with a smile, "Okay, I will definitely be able to repay Doctor Rong in the future."
She just smiled and watched Daniu leave.
After Danniu left, the smile on his face gradually disappeared.
He looked down at the two eggs in his hands and fell into deep thought.
I never thought that one day, she would be able to say what she just said.
Unable to help but laugh at herself, Rong Su turned around and went back to her guest room, putting the two eggs into the secret compartment of the medicine box.
Just as I put it down, I heard Gu Yuer's surprised voice coming from outside.
"Sister Rong, Sister Rong! Hehe... Sister Rong, are you there?"
With a click, Gu Yuer grabbed the door frame, panting and covered in sweat. It seemed that she had been running for a long time.
Seeing her in such a hurry, Rong Su frowned and looked at her and asked, "What's the matter? Why are you so flustered?"
Gu Yuer breathed a sigh of relief, raised her hand and waved, then said, "Sister Rong, there are a large number of guards from the City Lord's Mansion checking all the inns for outsiders. Let's go quickly!"
After hearing this, Rong Su thought for a moment, then immediately picked up her medicine box and other things and said to her, "Let's go. Let's go to Daniu's place first."
"Okay! Brother said the same thing." Gu Yuer nodded, reached out and grabbed Rong Su, and the two walked out together.
At the door of the inn, Rong Su saw Gu Yun and Shen Peiqing.
"Why don't you leave yet?" Rong Su was a little surprised. At this time, they should run away separately.
Gu Yun spoke before Shen Peiqing did. He looked at her and said, "I'm worried about you, so I'm waiting here. The guards won't be able to find us for a while."
Rong Su wondered what she was worried about.
"You can't be caught. If you are caught, who will heal my meridians? I'm not concerned about you." Shen Peiqing glanced at Rong Su, his tone was dull, but his words were very awkward.
These are not things that should be asked now. The most important thing now is to leave this place as soon as possible.
Rong Su urged them without delay: "Let's go, don't say anything more."
Upon hearing this, Shen Peiqing and Gu Yun didn't say anything else, but nodded at the same time as if they understood.
Then they looked around and left the inn through the alley behind it.
When they arrived at Daniu's house, they could already see Shitou and Yulan waiting for them there.
Shitou stepped forward and respectfully called out to Shen Peiqing, "Master."
Shen Peiqing nodded calmly and asked, "Daniu's cabin can't accommodate us. Are the things I asked you to arrange ready?"
Shitou nodded and said, "It's all ready. I bought two carriages and have parked them in Daniu's yard."
"Okay." Shen Peiqing looked at Rong Su and the others again and said softly, "Two carriages. Gu Yun and I will sleep in one, and Rong Su, Gu Yu'er, and Miss Yulan will sleep in the other. I'm sorry to bother you girls. Shitou can rest in the tree, so you don't have to worry about that."
Unexpectedly, Shen Peiqing had already prepared everything. Rong Su looked at him with some admiration. After all, this guy rarely paid attention to these things before.
Danniu said a little embarrassedly, "It's all my fault that this place is so small. Otherwise, you wouldn't have to sleep in the carriage."
"Brother Da Niu, this happened suddenly, it's not your fault. And as long as you have a place to rest, it's enough." Gu Yun has always been so understanding. Seeing Da Niu's guilt, he began to comfort him.
The sleeping place was solved, and Rong Su was now concerned about why the city lord suddenly sent guards to check on people.
"By the way, has anyone found out why the city lord sent people to search all the inns?"
When this matter was mentioned, Gu Yuer seemed to have the right to speak, and quickly said, "I've already inquired about this!"
Everyone looked at Gu Yuer, and upon seeing this, Gu Yuer began to tell them everything she had heard.
"I asked a lot of people before I finally understood the whole story. It's said that the city lord had only closed the city gates before, and didn't completely seal off the city. Now, many people in the city have gradually contracted lung disease, and the infection is spreading very quickly, so the city lord ordered a complete lockdown."
"Then what does this have to do with the city lord sending people to search the inn?" Rong Su asked, not understanding the mining city lord's actions. If the lung disease was contagious, shouldn't the attention be focused on the common people?
Gu Yuer seemed very surprised after hearing this: "I was also very curious about this point, and I also asked about it, but I didn't find out the reason."
At this time, it seemed that Daniu knew something and said, "I think the city lord is afraid that someone will break into the mining city and bring the lung disease out of the mining city."
Rong Su was a little surprised that the city lord actually had such thoughts: "Could it be that something happened before?"
After hearing this, Da Niu nodded and sighed, "Yes, there was once an infectious disease in the mining city. Someone sneaked into the city to do business and then left the city with the disease. As a result, the city lord was pressured by the rulers of the three continents, and the mining city was almost involved in a war."
"In the end, the city lord and the rulers of the three continents signed a contract to pay 5,000 dan of copper ore to each continent for free every year for five years before the contract was finalized."
After hearing this, Gu Yuer couldn't help but sigh: "It turns out that something similar happened before."
As if she had thought of something, Gu Yu'er asked Da Niu again, "Who cured your illness before? Perhaps that person still has a solution?"
Daniu didn't seem to understand this and was also confused: "It was the city lord who found people and prescriptions at that time. As for who gave the prescription and cured the disease, we have no way of knowing."
There was a moment of silence.
"Forget it, it's getting late now. Let's talk about it tomorrow." Rong Su looked at the sky. It seemed that night was about to fall again.
It is true that I can't think of a way to solve the current dilemma at the moment, so I can only give up for now. Maybe there will be a turning point after one night.
Afterwards, Yulan and Shitou went out to buy some ingredients for cooking.
After a simple meal, it was getting dark, and there seemed to be a damp and cold wind blowing around.
Rong Su sat on the edge of the carriage and looked up at the sky. Gu Yuer had spread out bedding in the carriage. Seeing her looking at the sky, she also came over to look up at the sky.
"Sister Rong, what are you thinking about?"
Hearing Gu Yuer's question, she was in a trance for a moment, then came to her senses and returned to the carriage. Seeing this, Gu Yuer followed her in and looked at her in confusion.
Seeing Gu Yuer looking at him, he lowered his eyes, fiddled with the quilt, and spoke softly.
"Maybe it's because people tend to become sentimental at night. Although I'm not that kind of person, looking at the impending rain will more or less affect me."
Understanding Rong Su's meaning, Gu Yuer smiled and nodded in agreement.
"Yes, I always worry about this and that at night. For one thing, I think my hair is starting to grow white!"
As she was talking, Gu Yuer actually started to complain, looking unhappy, and even fiddling with her hair with her hands.
Yulan, who happened to enter the carriage, heard it and asked in confusion, "Who wants to grow white hair?"
Seeing that it was Yulan, Gu Yuer held up a few strands of hair and came over to show them to Yulan, pouting and saying, "Sister Yulan, look, my hair is almost growing white."
Yulan didn't understand, but she still looked down. The hair was jet black and shiny, without a single strand of white. She smiled softly and said, "There are no white hairs, Sister Yu'er."
Gu Yuer hummed, sat back, and put her hair back. She said to Rong Su seriously, "I say, don't think too much. Too much worry can easily make you sick. Sister Rong, you are a doctor, you should know this, right?"
Rong Su naturally realized that Gu Yuer was trying to comfort herself, which was why she did this.
She couldn't help but laugh, covering her lips with a smile and nodding.
"Okay. I know."
Magnolia, who was closer to the carriage door, looked at them with a look of confusion on her face.
But she seemed to be cautiously being humble, with many questions revealed on her face, but she just didn't ask them.
Rong Su saw it all, but she would not take the initiative to help her because she could not trust this person wholeheartedly.
"Okay, let's go to sleep." Rong Su said, then lay down, covered herself with the quilt and went to sleep.
Seeing that Rong Su was asleep and didn't seem to want to pay attention to Yulan, Gu Yuer felt a little helpless. She turned to look at Yulan with an apologetic expression.
Yulan didn't care. Although she felt a little disappointed, she didn't show it on her face. Instead, she smiled at Gu Yuer to show that she didn't care.
Finally they too lay down to rest.
Another carriage.
Shen Peiqing and Gu Yun were lying on the left and right, leaving a wide path in the middle, and there was even enough space for one more person to lie down.
They each had their backs to each other and no one paid any attention to the other. The atmosphere was extremely tense and weird.
After a long while, Gu Yun couldn't bear it any longer and spoke first.
"Brother Stone, is it really okay for you to rest outside? I just saw that it seems like it's going to rain outside."
Shen Peiqing slowly opened his eyes and stared into the darkness in silence for a moment.
"No problem. If it rains, Shitou will find a place to rest. He has been a shadow guard for many years and knows how to survive. Don't worry about it, Brother Gu."
As soon as these words were spoken, the atmosphere between them dropped to zero, and they even felt like it was freezing.
Gu Yun had long noticed that Shen Peiqing seemed to have a lot of opinions about him, but he had never asked. He seemed to understand the reason, but he was also afraid that asking would damage their current relationship, so it was better not to ask.
He sighed softly in his heart, then closed his eyes, intending to spend the night in peace.
The next second, Shen Peiqing's cold voice slowly rose.
"Don't worry, the relationship between Rong Su and me is just that of a patient and a doctor, and that's the only level of our relationship."
Gu Yun suddenly opened his eyes, with a look of surprise in his eyes. He didn't expect that he would say this, but he couldn't help feeling a little happy in his heart.
"Why do you say that, Brother Shen?"
Shen Peiqing was silent for a moment, his black eyes grew colder in the darkness, and that calmness was gradually drowning out the complexity deep within.
"I think Brother Gu is a smart man. Don't you know what I mean? If you like Rong Su, as a friend, I will naturally help you."
Gu Yun never expected Shen Peiqing to say this, which means that he has no interest in Asu at all. In this way, will he have more opportunities?
After thinking about it, Gu Yun couldn't hide his excitement and smiled gently: "Thank you, Brother Shen."
After a long time, Shen Peiqing's voice was heard: "Yeah."
