"It's okay. He should be hunting nearby. He should be waiting for us at the foot of the mountain."
Sure enough, when the two of them went down the mountain, Si Nanzhao was sitting at the foot of the mountain, chewing dogtail grass boredly while waiting for them.
Seeing the two of them coming down the mountain, Si Nanzhao immediately went forward and greeted them with a smile: "Auntie Zhang, Yunbei."
"You're quite fast. Have you been waiting for a long time?" Yunbei asked Si Nanzhao with a smile while looking at the ground next to him.
It’s true that Si Nanzhao is really good. In less than one morning, he caught two pheasants and three rabbits.
"It's okay, I only waited for a while." Si Nanzhao didn't tell the truth. He had actually been waiting here for almost an hour and a half.
If he hadn't been waiting for them, he would have gone home long ago.
"Let's go home." Yunbei said as he reached out to pick up the game on the ground.
When Si Nanzhao saw that she was going to put them in the backpack, he directly took a pheasant and a rabbit and put them into Mrs. Zhang's backpack.
"Aunt Zhang, take these two back and eat them."
"No, no, how can I take your things? You rarely come up the mountain, I can't take advantage of you."
"Auntie Zhang, how can this be called taking advantage? I still have a few left, and there's no way Yunbei and I can finish them all?"
"If you can't finish it, just pickle it and let it air dry. Then, when you want to eat it, just cut a piece and eat it. It's very convenient."
As Mrs. Zhang spoke, she was about to take the game out of the basket.
Yunbei watched and followed Sinanzhao's advice. To be honest, if she wanted to eat meat, she had plenty in her space. However, because everyone's living conditions were not very good now, she didn't dare to eat it every day.
Seeing Yunbei and Sinanzhao's insistence, Old Lady Zhang had no choice but to accept the gift. However, she said to them, "From now on, if you want to eat any vegetables, just come to my house and pick them. I don't have much at home, but I have a lot of greens."
"Okay, then I'll go there every day from now on."
The few of them chatted and laughed, and soon returned to the family compound. They didn't run into anyone along the way, which saved them a lot of trouble.
After returning home, Yunbei began to process the game, keeping what he would eat that day and salting the rest to dry in the sun.
Si Nanzhao was not idle either, helping out along the side. Seeing that Yunbei knew everything, he thought about what he had found out before, and felt uncomfortable for a moment.
Before that, he never knew that Yunbei had such a hard life in Hai City. Although he had a pension and a house, he lived under the care of others.
She had endless work to do every day, but she couldn't even eat enough. In the end, she couldn't even keep the job her mother left for her, so she had to leave her hometown and come to him.
Yunbei was busy, but he didn't know Sinanzhao's mood change. He marinated a chicken and a roe, and went straight to make lunch.
After dinner, Yunbei had nothing to do, so he processed the herbs he had picked in the morning.
While he was busy, someone knocked on the gate. Yunbei looked up and saw that it was Huang Xiaocao. He was a little surprised and asked, "What's wrong?"
"Doctor Yun, my neighbor's wife, Mrs. Deng, has a stomachache. Could you please go and take a look at her?"
"Okay, wait a moment, I'll get the medicine box." After Yun Bei said that, he put down the work at hand, turned around and went back to the house to get the medicine box.
Following Huang Xiaocao to Mrs. Deng's house, Yunbei saw the woman lying on the bed, her face pale with pain. He quickly stepped forward, grabbed her hand and took her pulse.
Yunbei took the pulse and his expression changed instantly. He said, "You have appendicitis. Surgery is best. Of course, conservative treatment is also possible, which means acupuncture and medication, but there is a possibility of recurrence."
Mrs. Deng was shocked when she heard she needed surgery. She was afraid of pain and surgery. Fortunately, Yunbei said there were conservative treatments, so she immediately said, "Then I'll choose the conservative method. Could you please give me acupuncture and prescribe some medicine?"
"Okay!" Yunbei nodded. If the other party didn't want to have surgery, she wouldn't force him. She opened the medicine box and took out the silver needles.
Huang Xiaocao was watching from the side. When she saw Yunbei quickly insert the needle into Mrs. Deng's body, she couldn't help but feel a little scared.
At this moment, she felt that she must have been out of her mind, otherwise why would she think of pushing Yunbei down the mountain?
If she had succeeded at that time, their family compound would have lost a good doctor.
Although Yunbei was not close to these military wives, she never refused whenever they asked her for medical treatment.
Not only that, she was also very accurate in her diagnosis, and her medicines almost always cured the disease, unlike some doctors who would prescribe a lot of medicines but never see any improvement.
As soon as Yunbei inserted the needle, the pain in Mrs. Deng's stomach was relieved a lot. She looked at Yunbei with gratitude and said, "Dr. Yun, thank you."
"You're welcome. I'm a doctor. It's my duty to treat patients."
The needle lasted for fifteen minutes, and she only removed the needle when Mrs. Deng's stomach pain was completely gone.
Afterwards, she wrote a prescription for Mrs. Deng and asked her to go to the hospital to get some medicine.
Holding the prescription, Mrs. Deng thanked Yunbei again and again, and took out two dollars to pay for her consultation.
Yunbei refused to accept it, which made Mrs. Deng feel embarrassed. Then she gave her a can of chili peppers she had chopped at home as a thank you gift.
Yunbei did not refuse and accepted it directly.
After seeing Yunbei off, Mrs. Deng thanked Huang Xiaocao again. If Huang Xiaocao hadn't gone to help her find Yunbei, she didn't know how long she would have been in pain.
"Mrs. Deng, you're so polite. We're neighbors, and it's only natural for us to help each other. I have something to do at home, so I'll be going back first. Just call me if you need anything."
"Wait a moment." Mrs. Deng called Huang Xiaocao, then went into the house, took out some candies, handed them to her, and said, "Sweeten the child's mouth."
Unable to refuse, Huang Xiaocao had to accept the candy.
When she got home and looked at the candy in her hand, Huang Xiaocao suddenly smiled.
In the past, she always wanted to take advantage of others, but never got any advantage. Now, she doesn't think about taking advantage, but others take the initiative to give it to her.
When Yunbei returned home, Si Nanzhao was helping to dry the herbs.
"Why didn't you rest?"
"I'm waiting for you."
"Something?" Yunbei was a little surprised. Usually Si Nanzhao would have returned to his room by this time. But today, not only did he not return, he was also helping her dry the herbs.
"Yes, I have good news for you."
"What news?" Yun Bei looked interested, wondering if Chu Feifei's case had been decided.
Unexpectedly, Si Nanzhao kept the answer in suspense and didn't say it directly, but let Yunbei guess.
Yun Bei looked at him speechlessly and said, "You are really something, deliberately keeping me in suspense."
"Okay, since you asked me to guess, I'll give it a try." Yun Bei said as he looked at Si Nanzhao's expression.
