Chapter 290 You may not be able to go back tonight

"So what you're saying is that the woman called you into her room under the pretext of seeing a doctor, and then you sat down and started taking off your clothes?"

Listening to Song Yanxi's retelling, Xi Lin's face turned red with shame, and he wished he could find a hole in the ground to crawl into immediately.

This is the shame of his life!

Seeing him nod, Song Yanxi asked again: "When you saw her taking off her clothes, why didn't you turn around and run away, but instead let someone catch you in an adulterous relationship?"

Xi Lin's eyes widened, and he said hurriedly, "Pah, pah, pah, what do you mean by catching an adulterer? I was clearly tricked by that woman."

Thinking of Song Yanxi's question about why she didn't run, he covered his face with his hands and said sullenly, "I was young then and hadn't seen much of the world. When I saw that scene, my legs were weak and I couldn't even walk."

"I see."

Hearing her smiling voice, Xi Lin couldn't help but put down his hand, and saw Song Yanxi with a smile on her face that said, "You don't need to explain, I understand everything."

Understanding something, Xi Lin suddenly became anxious and blurted out, "What are you looking at me with? I've always been very self-disciplined."

He snorted coldly and continued, "If I were really that kind of questionable person, Mo Jinchuan wouldn't have been able to be friends with me for so many years."

Song Yanxi could not refute this point.

Noticing the red bloodshot under her eyes, Xi Lin frowned and asked, "Have you not slept a wink in the past two days and one night?"

Song Yanxi: "I took a break in the middle."

Seeing his expression that said, "Don't try to fool me," she said helplessly, "Even if I can hold on, the horses can't, not to mention we have the injured with us."

Her words were half true and half false, but they were enough to fool people.

Xi Lin responded and said, "Old Li is going to make you some food. If you're not sleepy, wait a little longer. At least you can eat something to warm yourself up."

As he spoke, he glanced at the woman who was still in a coma and frowned, saying, "I'm afraid you won't be able to go back tonight."

*

Song Yanxi was awakened by a severe pain in her stomach. When she opened her eyes, she found that Doctor Liu and Doctor Li were standing beside her.

She sat up straight, feeling pain and numbness in her shoulders and neck, as if she had been beaten not long ago.

When she touched the wall behind her, she realized that she had fallen asleep while sitting.

"Awake?" The worry in Doctor Liu's eyes disappeared instantly, and his voice was so cold that it seemed to freeze people to death.

Song Yanxi responded, stretched her neck, and asked, "Why is Mr. Liu here? What time is it?"

A cold male voice sounded at the door, "You've been asleep for two hours."

Song Yanxi murmured: "Why did I sleep for so long?"

Doctor Liu snorted coldly, and said angrily, "You haven't slept a wink for two days and two nights. You didn't sleep for two hours, you were clearly unconscious for two hours."

"I……"

"Doctor Song is really capable. If it were someone else, they would have died of nosebleeds long ago, but she can still stand." Xi Lin's beautiful peach blossom eyes were full of sarcasm.

Doctor Liu followed up with, "With such a weak physique, why would you still be a doctor? You might as well find a Taoist temple nearby and practice fasting and cultivating immortality."

Xi Lin placed the bowl of hot porridge heavily on the table and said coldly, "You only brought some dry food with you when you went out of the city to rescue people. How come you didn't starve to death?"

Song Yanxi choked and couldn't answer.

What they said was true, and she had no choice but to admit it.

Judging from Xi Lin's attitude of coming to question her, she must have already asked the soldiers who came back with her and knew the details. It would be pointless to find excuses.

Seeing that she remained silent, Xi Lin stood behind Military Doctor Liu and fanned the flames, saying, "Look at her eyes. She's full of dissatisfaction."

Song Yanxi's eyebrows twitched, and she was about to remind him not to talk nonsense when she heard Doctor Liu say, "My eyes are still good."

Xi Lin was a little confused when he was suddenly confronted.

What's wrong with this old man?

He was cooperating well just now, but now he starts to protect me without saying a word.

Which side is he on?

Seeing that he wanted to say something, Doctor Li quickly said, "Just be quiet. Doctor Song doesn't want to tell you the truth because he's afraid we'll worry."

"She's afraid?" Xi Lin sneered, "If she was really afraid of us worrying, she wouldn't have led people out of the city in the rain at night without saying a word."

Doctor Liu glared at him and said, "What are you yelling about? You'll wake the child up again."

Knowing what Song Yanxi was worried about, he continued, "I've seen the wounds on the mother's body. They've been treated very well. As long as she doesn't have a fever tonight, there's nothing serious."

"That's good. Has Mr. Liu seen the child?"

"It's okay, just a little weak. If he can eat and drink, he's easy to keep."

Doctor Liu's gaze fell on Song Yanxi's hand covering her lower abdomen, and he frowned and asked, "Does your stomach hurt?"

Xi Lin said quietly, "I drank a lot of water along the way, it's not a stomachache."

Just when Doctor Liu was about to curse, he heard him continue, "There's pain-relieving powder in the porridge. Drink it while it's hot."

Doctor Li couldn't help but laugh. He glanced at Doctor Liu, who had a sullen look on his face, and teased, "You know what? This kid, with his tough exterior and soft heart, really does resemble you back then."

Upon hearing this, Doctor Liu's face turned even darker.

He said angrily, "When this girl gets naughty and reckless, she's just as reckless as you were when you were younger."

"You old fellow, you really can't stand a loss."

"Suffer a loss? If this thing is really so good, why don't you eat it?"

As Doctor Liu spoke, he glared at Doctor Li and said, "Stop talking and let this girl drink her porridge first."

After taking a mouthful of the hot porridge that smelled of medicine, Song Yanxi felt like she had come back to life and even had the strength to speak.

Knowing what she was most worried about, Doctor Liu spoke without waiting for her to ask, "That unknown wild vegetable is indeed having a miraculous effect. The Tian family's uncle and nephew are in much better spirits than when they first arrived. Liu Qingshan and Tian Shitou are the most obvious, perhaps because of their young age."

The person who was most excited when he heard him say this was not Song Yanxi, but Doctor Li.

He grabbed Doctor Liu's shoulders and shook him, "Brother, have you really found a cure for the epidemic?"

Xi Lin hurriedly stopped his movements and said, "Mr. Li, calm down. Mr. Liu is so old, don't let him get shaken off his feet again."

With just one sentence, the two elders were successfully calmed down.

Not only did the person calm down, but his heart also turned cold, and he even wanted to hit someone.

Doctor Liu glanced at him and said quietly, "You should be thankful that you have good medical skills."

Otherwise, with his mouth, he would be beaten to death countless times if he went out into the world.

Xi Lin chuckled and said shamelessly, "I thank Mr. Liu for the compliment."

Doctor Liu felt a lump in his stomach, and suppressing the urge to curse, he said, "Go to the kitchen and see how the chicken soup is cooking. Bring me a bowl."

Knowing that he wanted to get rid of him, Xi Lin was about to refuse when Doctor Li grabbed his arm and pulled him away.

The force was so great that he had no chance to resist.

After the people left, Doctor Liu looked at Song Yanxi, who was holding the bowl of porridge and waiting for him to speak, and said lightly: "It's not a big deal, drink the porridge first."

Song Yanxi asked in confusion, "If it's not a big deal, then why did you send them away?"
