Chapter 103: Lure the snake out of its hole
The middle-aged man in the jacket spoke up, "Indeed, someone instructed Ma Xiaojun to come here to check the situation."
He looked at Lu Ye and continued, "Our initial assessment is that the remnants of the criminal gang are in Nancheng. It just so happens that Ma Xiaojun failed to steal Bai Zhi's bicycle and was detained for a few days. After his release, he was looking for a new target. When he passed by Jishengtang, he saw Dr. Bai Zhi's bicycle and followed her here, intending to find another opportunity to steal the bicycle."
He said that someone had approached him, asking him to come in and check the situation in the yard, promising him two new bicycles in return.
We suspected there were suspicious people loitering around the courtyard, so Ma Xiaojun was used as a target.
The man in black looked at Lu Ye with a serious expression. "They're probably here to get revenge on you."
Lu Yejun's face was gloomy. After a long while, he spoke, "In that case, release Ma Xiaojun."
He had never left the house before, and recently, even when he did go out, he would usually go through the back door so that no one would notice.
There were hidden sentries in the courtyard when they were seriously ill.
After applying to return home, the sentries withdrew in accordance with regulations.
Unexpectedly, those guys were incredibly resourceful and managed to track him down.
They were facing a group of inhuman demons. Although they destroyed one of their hideouts, the demons had already established a sophisticated underground network in various places and were never easy to deal with.
Most importantly, those people are cruel and have no moral bottom line whatsoever.
The man in black looked at Lu Ye. "You mean... to lure the snake out of its hole?"
Lu Ye said with a stern face, "Give him a good talking-to. If he can be used by others, then of course he can be used by us."
"clear."
After the two comrades finished discussing business, they prepared to leave. "It's late, you should get some rest."
Before leaving, he looked at Lu Ye and teased him with a smile, "Your little girlfriend might have been frightened tonight, so make sure to comfort her."
"This is none of your business," Lu Ye waved his hand, dismissing the guests.
"You've finally figured it out?" The man in black leaned closer, smiling as he looked him up and down.
"That kid Ye Qingbai is lucky. He suddenly became your brother-in-law. You have no idea how arrogant he is in the army now. He goes around bragging that his company commander is his brother-in-law. He's as smug as can be."
Upon hearing this, Lu Ye uttered three words without hesitation, "Teach him a lesson."
...
After the two comrades left, Lu Ye went to check the courtyard again. The light in Bai Zhi's room was already off.
He couldn't sleep. He lay in bed, applied the scar-removing medicine that Bai Zhi had given him to the scar, wrapped it with gauze, and sprayed the medicine every two hours as instructed by the doctor.
Until almost dawn.
Around four or five in the morning, he heard a noise outside. He opened the door and saw the girl in her pajamas going to the bathroom.
Bai Zhi yawned groggily, and when she heard the door to the north bedroom creak open, she turned her head and asked, "You're awake so early?"
"Hmm, I can't sleep."
Lu Ye said softly, "It's still early. Go to the bathroom and then continue sleeping for a while."
It was almost dawn, and he figured the girl wouldn't be scared anymore. After returning to his room, he lay down on the bed and took a nap.
When Dr. Li brought breakfast over in the morning, she greeted Lu Ye, "Company Commander Lu, did you sleep well last night?"
"very good."
Dr. Li noticed that Lu Ye didn't look well, but seemed to be in a good mood.
Their eyes were practically glued to Dr. Bai.
After finishing her breakfast, Bai Zhi got up and prepared to go to work.
"Dr. Li, please give Company Commander Lu some moxibustion. I need to get to work early today."
Dr. Li glanced at Lu Ye, and seeing that he had no objection, she replied, "Okay."
"I'll take you to work." Lu Ye got up with Bai Zhi.
"No need, it's broad daylight and there's no need to deliver it. I can go by myself."
"Hurry up and do the moxibustion, then go home as soon as you're done."
If he doesn't come home all night, Grandpa Lu will definitely suspect something.
"Okay, I'll pick you up from get off work this afternoon."
Just as Bai Zhi arrived at the pharmacy, a man dressed in flamboyant attire strolled in.
Dr. Zhou has been in a very low mood lately, and almost everyone who comes into the pharmacy is looking for Angelica dahurica.
It's either for medical treatment or personal matters.
He wondered if, after Bai Zhi left, his pharmacy would be so quiet that not even a fly would fly in.
Melancholy.
When Xie Zheng came in, Doctor Zhou was not enthusiastic and just gave him a brief glance.
Xie Zheng waved to Bai Zhi, "Good morning, Xiao Bai."
"Good morning, Mr. Xie."
Bai Zhi was busy cleaning when she saw Xie Zheng and greeted him.
"Change my dressing." Xie Zheng plopped down in the chair as if he knew the place well, resting his arm on the table.
"Wait a moment." Bai Zhi sorted out all the medicinal herbs, washed her hands, and then brought over iodine and gauze.
She said,
"I've prepared your scar removal medication. When do you want to pick it up?"
“Of course, it would be best to get it now. But…” Xie Zheng rubbed his nose, “I’m a little short on cash lately.”
Because Grandpa lost face at the Lu family's house that day, he didn't bother to give him the 5,000 yuan.
The key point is that although his grandparents liked angelica very much, they didn't believe in his medical skills.
Another reason is that they feel that the tiny scars on their arms don't affect their lives or cause any problems, so there's no need to spend so much money to remove them.
Grandpa always said that boys should be a little rougher.
Being too refined can make you look effeminate.
But he absolutely cannot allow himself to have even the slightest scar or blemish.
Angelica dahurica, "You can buy it on credit."
Xie Zheng, “???”
His eyes lit up. "You can do that?"
Xie Zheng jumped up and grabbed Bai Zhi's arm with his uninjured hand. "Xiao Bai, you're so good to me."
Bai Zhi coldly withdrew her arm and said, "You have to write me an IOU."
Xie Zheng nodded vigorously, "No problem, there's absolutely no problem."
Bai Zhi was very satisfied with Xie Zheng's reaction, and her tone softened a bit, "Come on, change the dressing, let me take a look at the wound."
"Mr. Xie, after the dressing is changed today, you no longer need to keep your arm in a sling. The wound has basically healed. You should try to move your arm. Keeping it curled up for a long time is not good for your muscles and tendons."
Bai Zhi carefully examined Xie Zheng's arm, but she still felt there was something wrong.
"Now that the wound has healed, you can go to the hospital to have your brachial plexus nerve checked."
Xie Zheng had been wearing a sling on his arm recently, and now that it was free, he tried to move it. "I don't feel any problem."
Bai Zhi said, "Let's check it out to put our minds at ease."
"After the stitches are removed, you can try doing some fine handicrafts, or play the guitar or piano to test the dexterity of your arm."
If he does nothing and just keeps his arm in a sling like this, he probably won't feel any problem.
"good."
After changing the dressing, Xie Zheng originally wanted to sit down and chat with Bai Zhi, asking her about her relationship with Lu Ye, but when Bai Zhi mentioned that he should get his arm checked, he instantly lost interest.
He asked Bai Zhi, "Little Bai, how much?"
"Let's skip today's."
Xie Zheng narrowed his phoenix eyes slightly, smiling teasingly, "That good?"
Bai Zhi quickly tidied up the medical tools she had just used and said, "Take the scar removal medicine and just write me an IOU."
