You are unlucky and I am tough

Chapter 205: Unveiling the List

The crowing of a rooster woke up the sleeping Chengjia Village. The villagers got up early and started a new day's work. The part of the rice field where the rice seedlings had been planted was green and lush, which made people feel comfortable and at ease just by looking at it.

In the Wei family yard, Cheng Shuang was using the osmanthus hair oil that Qin Suyue had given her before to care for Wei Xinyi's hair.

Wei Xinyi held a smiling bronze mirror in her hand and grinned at herself in the mirror.

The house was very quiet. After breakfast, Cheng Guqiu took his two daughters out to pick snails. Cheng Pan helped count and record the second batch of soap materials sent by the Qin family at the back of the house.

Wei Qinglang was still sleeping in and hadn't even gotten up to eat breakfast. He must have been tired after leading the workers to transplant peppers all day yesterday.

"It smells so good! If I apply this, can I be like my sister-in-law and smell her fragrance just by getting close to her?" Wei Xinyi grabbed a handful of her hair and sniffed it, her face full of joy. Her sister-in-law always smelled sweet, and she loved being close to her.

Cheng Shuang combed her hair with a comb in her hand. "This is a hair oil given to us by Sister Qin, who is doing business with us. It is made with osmanthus flowers. The fragrance is secondary. The most important thing is that it can protect your hair. Your hair is a little yellow, so you need to take good care of it."

As she spoke, Cheng Shuang secretly took out a bottle of hair care oil that she often used from her bosom, dropped a few drops into the palm of her hand, rubbed it evenly, and applied it to the ends of Wei Xinyi's slightly frizzy hair.

Just as she was about to say it was okay, the gate was suddenly pushed open with a bang, which scared her.

"Nanxing!" Cheng Shuang frowned as she looked at the man who ran in with a serious face, feeling that something had happened.

Wei Nanxing relaxed as soon as he saw Cheng Shuang's tense expression, and said in a panic, "Sister-in-law, my master, my master is in trouble, please go and save him."

"Don't worry, calm down first." Cheng Shuang remained calm. "Your brother is still sleeping. I'll go wake him up first and then you can talk."

Wei Nanxing nodded, sat down, poured himself some water, and guzzled several glasses.

Cheng Shuang entered the room and woke up Wei Qinglang. After a while, the door opened and Wei Nanxing was called in. The three of them closed the door and talked.

Wei Nanxing told his brother and sister-in-law everything he had found out about the He family. He was so anxious that his eyes turned red, and he asked them in a panic what to do.

Neither of them expected that things would be so serious. Cheng Shuang pondered for a moment and looked at Wei Qinglang.

Wei Qinglang said, "The most urgent thing is for us to rush over there. Since the He family has posted a notice seeking medical help, let's take this opportunity to go into the He family to see He Zhou's condition first. If he is really in critical condition, you can also treat him immediately."

Cheng Shuang nodded and immediately packed up the medicine box. Wei Nanxing went to feed Black Moonlight some grass and water, letting it rest and eat to replenish its strength.

A quarter of an hour later, Cheng Shuang came out carrying a medicine box.

Wei Qinglang immediately jumped onto his horse and pulled Cheng Shuang up to sit in front of him. He turned his horse and said to Wei Nanxing, "The Black Moonlight is fast, so your sister-in-law and I can go. Besides, we have to face the He family this time. If you are too concerned, they will easily see something. Just stay home and wait for our news."

This was a decision he and Cheng Shuang had discussed. Wei Nanxing couldn't be allowed to follow. If He Zhou was really in danger of his life, it would be inconvenient for him to treat him.

Wei Nanxing was too anxious to think, and felt that what his brother said made sense. He nodded and watched the two men ride away.

East Phoenix City

The streets were bustling with people, and whenever there was any movement, people would gather to see what was going on.

This morning, a piece of news spread in the city that the eldest son of the He family was dying. The He family posted a notice asking for a large sum of money to treat the disease. Many curious people gathered in front of the bulletin board to read the notice.

The content written on the list was that He Zhou, the eldest son of the He family, was in critical condition and was in a coma. If anyone could cure him, the He family would reward him with a thousand taels of gold.

A group of people gathered in front of the list, talking about it.

"Didn't the eldest son of the He family just come back before the New Year? He's only in his twenties, how could he be so seriously ill?"

"I heard he has a strange disease and has been in a coma for more than 20 days. The He family has invited many famous doctors, but it's all useless."

"I also heard that the second son of the He family sought medical treatment everywhere and even went to the capital."

"I heard that Master He always looked down on his eldest son and kicked him out when he was just a teenager. I didn't expect that the second son of the He family is so kind-hearted that he's willing to work so hard for his sick eldest brother."

"After all, we are all born of the same father. Even if the bones are broken, the tendons are still connected."

Just as the onlookers were praising He Yun for his kindness, a young woman in plain clothes and a veil on her head stepped forward and took down the medical treatment request list.

The crowd was shocked by her actions.

"Who is this girl? How dare she reveal the list?"

"What do you mean, can she cure the He family's eldest son's illness?"

"Strange! I didn't expect someone would actually dare to take the challenge. She looks like a young girl. Could she know medical skills?"

"Maybe he's a charlatan trying to cheat the He family out of their bounty."

The woman seemed not to hear the discussions around her. She folded the list and held it in her hand. A tall and handsome man in the crowd walked towards her with a medicine box slung over his shoulder. The two of them stood in front of the list waiting for the people from the He family to come.

The two people were Cheng Shuang and Wei Qinglang, who had just arrived in Donghuang City on horseback.

There were people from the He family guarding each announcement. As soon as someone took down the notice, someone would come out quickly to take them to the He Mansion.

The He family members had also received the news and were waiting at the gate. He Yun stood beside Mr. He, rubbing his hands and craning his neck to look forward, muttering softly, "Great! Someone has revealed the list. Big brother can be saved."

Mr. He had a stern face with no expression on his face, while Mrs. He beside him was absent-mindedly touching the jade bracelet on her hand.

The third young master of the He family, He Ming, simply used the excuse that he had to study for the upcoming college entrance examination as an excuse and didn't even bother to show up.

The carriage that was picking people up slowly approached and stopped at the gate of He Mansion. He Yun took a few quick steps to greet it.

The curtain of the car was opened, and the first person to get out was a girl. The He family members were all stunned.

The person who came down later was a man, who didn't look very old, no more than twenty years old.

Can a young man like this, whose hair hasn't even grown fully, cure difficult and complicated diseases?

He Yun looked at the two of them with an awkward smile, "Which of you is the doctor?"

Wei Qinglang pointed at Cheng Shuang and said, "She is. I'm just an attendant carrying a suitcase."

"Miss, are you a doctor?" He Yun asked politely.

Cheng Shuang nodded: "I know a little bit."

Mr. He's expression was already ugly when he saw the two people coming. After hearing what Cheng Shuang said, he turned around and glared at He Yun, saying, "This is simply nonsense." He flicked his sleeves and turned away.

He Yun was secretly delighted. He still had a fake smile on his face as he cupped his hands and said, "Please forgive me, young lady. My father is also worried about my elder brother. You are so young and dare to take the challenge. You must be quite capable. I wonder who your teacher is?"

Cheng Shuang said calmly, "My master is a reclusive master, so I can't reveal his name. Besides, this has nothing to do with healing, right?"

He Yun sneered inwardly, but in order to maintain his image as a "kind brother," he continued with a smile, "I'm sorry for being rude. Since you've revealed the list, please follow me."

Cheng Shuang nodded and followed He Yun into the He Mansion. Wei Qinglang followed silently behind with the medicine box, looking around vigilantly.

He Yun led them all the way to Langyuexuan, pushed open the door and entered the room, pointing at He Zhou who was unconscious on the bed.

"This is my eldest brother. Twenty days ago, he took us to the mountains outside the city to hunt roe deer. We came across an old man trapped in a hunter's trap. My eldest brother jumped into the pit to save him, but unfortunately, a rock rolled down from the side and injured his calf."

"We hired a doctor and tried our best to treat my eldest brother, but his injuries were too severe. The wound kept getting inflamed again and again, and his bones were also bruised. My father asked every doctor in the city to see him, but they all said his leg was useless and couldn't be cured. About seven or eight days ago, my eldest brother fell into a coma and hasn't woken up since."

He Yun sighed after he finished speaking, "Miss, if you can cure big brother, our He family will reward you handsomely."
