Chapter 250 A Stunning "Widow" from a Historical Fiction (40)

It was a simple little cloth bag. Wu Tongxue took it and pulled open the drawstring. Inside was a stack of banknotes.

Huo Tongzhou, his face stiff, said, "Take it."

That cold, indifferent attitude would make you think they were robbing someone.

Wu Tongxue looked at him with the money bag in her hand, and after several seconds nodded, "Okay."

Huo Tongzhou only had a few sets of clothes, and his house was empty, looking extremely poor. Wu Tongxue had been to his house before. After thinking for a moment, she took out a few bills and gave them to him, saying softly:

"Why don't you go to the county to buy a new set of clothes next time?"

Huo Tongzhou's ears turned slightly red. Was she concerned about him?

He reached out and took the banknotes, and all his bad mood vanished, as if the banknotes he was holding now weren't the ones he had just given away.

"I'm leaving." Huo Tongzhou couldn't bear to communicate with such an appearance any longer, so he turned and left quickly.

Wu Tongxue didn't stop her. She packed the small cloth bag and walked towards the health center.

“Wei, a educated youth, came to me before to ask about precautions for planting medicinal herbs. It seems he was planning to set up a medicinal herb planting factory in our brigade.”

"Maybe our brigade will have some good news soon."

Yan Ling talked about recent events, and they sat down together to review their notes on medicinal herbs.

"The brigade leader has been so busy lately, I'll brew him some medicine to help him recover, so he doesn't collapse from exhaustion."

As he spoke, he began to ponder the medicinal herbs to be used, and pulled Wu Tongxue along to study the prescription.

Wu Tongxue hesitated before sitting down. "You've been exhausted all day. Are you sure the captain will want to drink Chinese medicine when he gets home?"

“Before my father passed away, he told me to take good care of the people in the brigade. The brigade leader works so hard, so I must send him some gifts.”

"Don't worry, he'll definitely drink it."

Yan Ling made a firm promise, so Wu Tongxue also began to study the prescription.

Suddenly, he remembered the two injured patients at home, looked at Yan Ling, and asked her for some medicinal herbs.

These were all commonly used medicinal herbs, with little toxicity, and the quantity was small, so Yan Ling gave them away directly.

When do you plan to have children?

Wu Tongxue: "Cough cough cough—"

Yan Ling suddenly asked a question that startled Wu Tongxue so much that she choked on the air.

After drinking the water that Yan Ling hurriedly handed her and calming down, she shook her head with a flushed face, "I don't want a child."

"That's fine, your physical condition isn't suitable for having children anyway."

Regardless of whether it's suitable or not, he simply cannot have children.

Seeing that he was embarrassed, Yan Ling also felt that her question was presumptuous, so she moved away from him to make him feel more comfortable.

Yan Ling had only taken his pulse twice, and both times Wu Tongxue deliberately concealed it, so she didn't know his true gender.

……

Li Lin came to find Huo Tongzhou and saw other people from other teams mocking Huo Tongzhou, who was just passing by.

The same old phrases kept coming up: "bad guy," "don't go near him"... They'd pull their own children away from this person.

Huo Tongzhou ignored it completely and walked past with his eyes fixed on a bruised face.

"Look, he must have been beaten up."

The children cheered, "Well done! Down with the bad guys!"

The parents quickly covered his mouth; they had only whispered a reminder, but the cheer was so loud that even the deaf old man could hear it.

Huo Tongzhou glanced at him casually, his dark eyes sharp and deep, his brow furrowing and then smoothing out.

"Wow wow wow..."

The child's shrill cries were even more piercing.

Li Lin jumped out, glared, and made a move to hit someone.

The family quickly grabbed the child, tucked him under their arms, and ran away, the crying fading into the distance.

Huo Tongzhou stood still, ignoring the man with panda eyes, his icy aura was quite intimidating.

Li Lin leaned closer and asked, "Brother Huo, what happened to you?"

He didn't even notice last night that Brother Huo had been beaten up! Who had the guts to hit Brother Huo?!

Huo Tongzhou gave him a cold look and didn't say anything.

"Ahem—" Li Lin quickly changed the subject, "Brother Huo, Xiao Hu's younger brother knows a little something about Bai Zhiqing..."

With his older brother backing him up, Little Tiger is like a wild monkey, always eager to explore and see things out of curiosity. And so... he's seen quite a few things.

Huo Tongzhou glanced at them, lowered his brows, and said in an icy tone, "Tell me."

"Cough, it's like this..."

In short, to put it simply, it's about that pretty boy, Bai, shamelessly seducing his sister-in-law.

The cultured people from the city really know how to do things.

Having said that, unable to bear the oppressive atmosphere emanating from Huo Tongzhou, he made his escape.

Huo Tongzhou was left standing there with a cold face. On his way back, he didn't encounter anyone who dared to approach him and say anything pointless.

"White, Mirror, Sail!"

He gritted his teeth and spat out each word.

If they can't deal with Yanliang, can't they at least get rid of one educated youth?

What a coincidence, Yan Liang had the same idea as him.

……

After getting off work in the evening, Wu Tongxue first delivered one dose of medicine to Huo Tongzhou, then carried another dose home.

The addition of Coptis chinensis, a herb that promotes blood circulation, removes blood stasis, reduces swelling, and relieves pain, was somewhat effective, but it was purely bitter.

He couldn't stay at Huo Tongzhou's house for long, but he could keep an eye on Yan Liang's drinking at home.

After the meal, a porcelain bowl containing steaming brown medicinal liquid was placed on the square table.

Wu Tongxue pushed the medicine toward Yan Liang, and moved the spoon to a more convenient position for him to use. "Drink it quickly, or it will get cold."

He then pulled out a handful of dried fruit, saying, "It's a bit bitter, so have something sweet after you finish the drink."

The unpleasant smell kept wafting into his nose, but Yan Liang maintained his calm expression.

Under Wu Tongxue's gaze, he took out a spoon and gulped it down in one go.

Why is she still expressionless?

Wu Tongxue looked at him and stuffed the dried fruit into his hand, "Here you go."

Is it not bitter enough?

Yan Liang pressed his tongue down, picked up a piece of dried fruit and ate it. The sweet sugar coating relieved a lot of the sour and numb sensation on his tongue.

"Be careful in the future, don't get hurt easily." Wu Tongxue raised her eyebrows and looked at him with a mischievous and lively expression. "But it's okay, I can write a simple prescription."

She spoke threatening words in a sweet and soft voice.

Yan Liang remained silent.

A bitter taste rose in his throat, but he could only nod.

"That's good. I would have worried about you if you got hurt."

Yan Liang remained silent, and Wu Tongxue paid no attention, instead going to check on the newly enclosed vegetable garden in the backyard to see how the vegetables were growing.

After everyone left, Yan Liang picked up the water glass on the table, poured himself a full glass of water, and let out a soft sigh of relief.

This feeling is worse than being punched.

The person, who has a very good constitution and has hardly ever been sick since childhood, sighed inwardly.

"Where did you put the watering can?" Wu Tongxue turned around and, unable to find the watering can she used to water the plants, came out and asked Yan Liang.

"At this."

Yan Liang stood up and strode away, taking down a kettle from a shelf.

Wu Tongxue, carrying a watering can, asked, "What are you planting over there?"

"Scallions and garlic sprouts."

"I'm going to water the plants," Wu Tongxue said, stopping to add, "By the way, don't use farmyard manure."

Plants that he touches never fail to grow well; there's no need for fertilizer, and besides, the smell is unpleasant.

"it is good."

A small plot of land was neatly cultivated, lush and verdant, a truly delightful sight.

Yan Liang scooped a ladle of water to fill Wu Tongxue's water bottle. "I'm going out tonight. You should get some rest and don't wait for me."
