Doctor Li immediately became alert!

He frowned and looked at her seriously: "What the hell are you doing? If you have something to say, just say it directly! Stop playing these little tricks!"

"Dad, you misunderstood me. I just feel bad for you and worry that you're overworked. What could I possibly be thinking of?"

As Li Banxia spoke, she reached out to take the book from Doctor Li's hand: "Dad, why did you bring back so many books?"

Doctor Li warned him angrily, "Be careful! This is a book that Mr. Xie gave to your brother. It has his annotations on it. It's very precious. Don't tear it!"

"Thank you, my dear, for being so thoughtful!"

Li Banxia smiled with surprise, "My brother will definitely like it! I'll personally deliver it to him later!"

Doctor Li snorted lightly: "Do I need you to deliver it? I'll send it to him later."

As a father, how could he let his daughter snatch such a good thing away?

Li Banxia glanced at him speechlessly, put the book on the table next to him, and reached out to take his medicine box.

This time, Doctor Li handed her the medicine box very straightforwardly, then sighed deeply and sat down lazily on the chair.

Li Banxia handed him tea and massaged his shoulders, serving him with special attentiveness.

Doctor Li looked at her suspiciously, and felt more and more that something was wrong with her.

He asked with a dark face: "Tell me, what do you want to ask me this time?"

Li Banxia laughed dryly. "It's not a big deal, actually. I've never been to the capital before, and I want to take a look. Dad, you won't refuse this little request, will you?"

"You—" Doctor Li almost made her so angry that she couldn't breathe. "How dare you! You are a young lady! How can you go to the capital?"

"Then... aren't Mr. Xie and his companions going to the capital? They've even hired some young and strong men from the village to escort them.

I heard that Mr. Xie is very generous. Not only does he cover the food and accommodation for the trip, he also covers the return trip expenses, and gives each person an extra five taels of silver!

If there is danger on the road and casualties occur, he will compensate for the medical expenses and provide a pension.

But he also said that he would hire another escort team, so the trip wouldn't be too dangerous. He just wanted everyone to help boost their morale. With them around, the escort team wouldn't dare to have any bad intentions.

Doctor Li was surprised when he heard this. He had just come out of the Xie family and had no idea that such a thing existed.

"He's quite generous," he sighed, then glared at his daughter warningly. "He's looking for help, what's it to you? He's looking for a young man, why are you, a little girl, joining in the fun?"

"How could my daughter just join in the fun?"

Li Banxia was very unconvinced, "Although Mr. Xie said the road wouldn't be dangerous, isn't it still possible to encounter danger?

If I follow them and someone gets injured or sick on the road, I can help save them.

Mr. Xie also has a pair of children who are just one month old. They are young and will inevitably suffer if they travel a long distance. What if they have an emergency and there is no doctor on the road? How dangerous would that be?

I can help take care of it when I go there. Thank you, my dear, for being so kind to me. Shouldn't we return the favor?"

"I see you clearly just want to go out and play!"

Doctor Li glared at his daughter in dissatisfaction, then said, "I'm a doctor too, I can go with you."

"Dad, you're wrong. You're a famous doctor in our village. What if someone nearby gets sick while you're gone?"

You can't let me, a young woman, go to other people's homes to see patients, right? So you have to stay at home and let your daughter go with you to see.

Anyway, Mr. Xie has invited the young men from the village. I will follow them back when the time comes. We are all from the same village. Are you still worried that they won't bring me back safely?"

Although Doctor Li felt that what she said made some sense, he was unwilling to give in so easily.

Otherwise, what if this girl becomes too independent and runs away every now and then?

"You also said that Xie Langjun also hired people from the escort agency. If those people saw you saving someone, your medical skills would be hidden!"
