Chapter 136 So Caring
"How can that be possible? Of course not!" Su Qinghe, who was always elegant and gentle, looked at her and said, "Miss Yu, I want to say that no matter what happens, nothing is more important than life. I remember you said you had faith in your heart, so please take good care of yourself, Miss Yu, and take some time to come to my Pharmacist Valley. My brothers and sisters will definitely find a prescription for treatment. Besides, I also want to say that no matter what you do, you can't do it without a healthy body, so Miss Yu, you shouldn't be so careless about yourself!..."
Yu Huatang raised her head and looked at him. This was the second time someone had said this to her. The first time was Baili. When he found out, he also felt regretful and blamed her for not taking care of her body.
Now she saw heartache and blame in the other pair of eyes, and she felt deep concern in that look...
His words also made her fall into deep thought. It turned out that she had been despising herself and not taking care of herself all these years.
After she came back from the capital, she felt like she was already dead. Learning skills was just the courage that supported her to live. Until now, she has truly found her belief in living during these days.
Only now did Su Qinghe's words make her realize that she was so harsh on herself.
She was not like other women who would joke about what their future husbands would look like, nor would she think about which dresses looked good or which jewelry would suit her best. It seemed that she did not have the time, no... in fact, she did not allow herself to do so.
Just like her own body, she sealed herself in a small world. She defined herself as an inheritor, wanting to let the lanterns of her hometown go beyond this place, so everything she did was for this purpose.
It seems like she doesn't care about herself at all. Su Qinghe is right. How can she care for herself like this?
She shouldn't do this. Her body was a gift from her parents. If they knew about it, they would be so sad.
Seeing her distracted, Su Qinghe asked, "Miss Yu, do you have any other concerns?"
Yu Huatang came back to her senses and said, "I thought I had forgotten it, that it was in the past, but now I realize I just buried it." She chuckled, as if relieved, and said, "Doctor Su, thank you for speaking to me today. When the epidemic is over, don't worry, I will definitely seek treatment."
She spoke sincerely, and Su Qinghe was relieved. "That's good. I'll be waiting for you in Pharmacist Valley. Don't forget."
When Yu Huatang heard this, she felt like a naughty kid who would break an appointment. She smiled silently and nodded for a long time.
For several days, Zhao Yan had been dealing with the corpses of the sick and diseased livestock. Even though he didn't believe in ghosts or gods or any other religious beliefs, he still bowed to the bodies being burned. Then he instructed the yamen runner beside him, "I'll leave this to you."
The man said, "Yes."
He looked at it for a few seconds and then turned and walked towards the government office.
When he arrived at the government office, many officials were still working hard there. Because he came back late, there was no food left, so Wang Zhubu ordered the kitchen to prepare a bowl of noodles.
While waiting for a break, Zhao Yan fell asleep leaning against the table. He was a little tired after staying awake for several days.
When he woke up, it was already late at night and most of the officials in the government office had already gone home.
At this time, Wang Zhubu came over and said, "Sir, please eat something first." He put the noodles on the table and then reminded, "Sir, did you change your clothes, wash your hands, and apply medicine when you came back just now?"
In this critical moment, everyone was required to take protective measures. Zhao Yan was grateful for his reminder, "When I came back, I had already changed, washed my hands, and applied medicine." After saying that, he picked up the chopsticks and started eating.
Although the shadow of the epidemic has been somewhat dispelled, the current prescriptions have not yet shown any results, so they dare not be careless.
After Wang Zhubu had finished most of the medicine, he said, "Sir, Miss Yu just came in and said that the new prescription developed by Doctor Su is mainly used to strengthen the body of healthy people. If you have time, remember to drink a few doses. You fell asleep at the time, and Miss Yu said there was no need to wake you, so..."
Zhao Yan felt disappointed and asked, "Did she say anything else?"
"It's nothing, just asking you to take care of yourself. Doctor Su has also come up with a quick-acting prescription, and it might be ready in a few days. So please get some rest. Oh, by the way, Miss Yu also specifically told you to remember to drink it."
Zhao Yan hummed, and his originally cold face warmed up a little.
After Zhao Yan finished his noodles, Wang Zhubu thought for a moment and finally said, "Well, sir, I have already checked what you asked me to do before."
Zhao Yan didn't react for a moment, "What's the matter?"
"That's right. Su Qinghe is still unmarried, in good health, and only twenty-eight years old. He is the third generation heir of Pharmacist Valley and has a good family background."
After saying this, the space suddenly became silent.
"Really?" Zhao Yan replied coldly.
Wang Zhubu said, "Yes, the news is true. Moreover, Doctor Su often travels abroad to improve his medical skills and has no female confidantes."
Sure enough, the atmosphere became even colder. Wang Zhubu secretly glanced at Zhao Yan and found that he still looked calm.
At this time, Zhao Yan said, "I understand." He said it calmly, but Wang Zhubu still heard the displeasure.
Of course he still pretended not to know.
After an unknown amount of time, Zhao Yan asked, "When did Miss Yu come?"
"About... an hour ago."
The government office was still brightly lit, and the sky outside was already full of stars.
Zhao Yan stood up and walked out of the government office towards the hospital. The road was not long, but it seemed particularly long to him today.
When she arrived at a tent, she could vaguely see two figures inside. She hadn't left yet.
He slowly relaxed his pace and approached gently, as if he was doing something important, and his heart was very nervous.
When we got closer to the door, the people inside started talking, "These ladies seem to be in better health. They had high fever three or four times a few days ago, but only once today. The little girls here stopped vomiting after their fever subsided." This was Yu Huatang's voice. Who was she reporting to?
Doctor Luo?
At this time, another voice sounded, "Well, it seems that this prescription is indeed effective. You should have everyone take it tomorrow, and those who have recovered here can try the new prescription again."
This is Su Qinghe's voice. So what are they doing here alone at this late hour? Even if they want to report this, can't they wait until tomorrow?
Zhao Yan took a few steps closer and looked inside from the window beside him.
Yu Huatang and Su Qinghe were sitting at a square table. When she picked up a record, Su Qinghe happened to turn his head, and their hair inevitably touched each other.
Su Qinghe stood up and pondered what he said. She picked up a pen and wrote down the key points he said.
At this time he said, "Miss Yu's calligraphy is really beautiful."
