Chapter 266: Provoking Trouble
"When I came out just now, my little sister said she was a little sleepy. She must be sleeping now."
After listening to Su Wenxuan's description of Su Yunruo's condition, Su Yujin nodded repeatedly, "Overall, she is in good condition. Miss Su is usually in good health. It should be because she practices martial arts on weekdays. This time, she was poisoned because of this. Wait a moment, I will carefully check Miss Su's pulse again and adjust the prescription. You still have to take another medicinal bath today, and I will make a new prescription."
"Thank you, Doctor Su." Su Wenxuan bowed to express his gratitude.
When the two arrived at Penglai Inn, Su Yunruo was awake.
When Su Yujin arrived at the bedside, Su Yunruo leaned on the soft pillow and thanked her, "Thank you, Doctor Su."
"It's a doctor's duty. Miss Su, you don't have to be polite."
These people all knew that she was a woman at this time, so Su Yujin did not deliberately pretend to speak in a man's tone and just spoke in her original voice.
The voice is melodious, like the chirping of a yellow oriole in a valley.
Su Yunruo couldn't help but look at Su Yujin twice more.
Although she learned from Xiang Qiao that the doctor in front of her, named Su Yu, was a woman dressed as a man, her makeup was so delicate that it was hard to imagine that she was a beautiful young woman just by looking at her face.
Especially now that Doctor Su has this expression but a pleasant voice, it makes people feel even more out of place.
but……
Very interesting.
When Su Yunruo was escorting grain, she also disguised herself as a man, but she was recognized countless times along the way. She didn't understand why at first, but now after seeing Doctor Su, she immediately understood the reason.
It turned out that she had taken things for granted, and she was still too embarrassed to make a fool of herself.
In this regard, she is indeed not as good as Dr. Su.
Although he had only been in contact with Doctor Su for a short time and they did not know each other well, the other party's outstanding medical skills alone and the way he dressed as a woman were enough to make Su Yunruo respect him.
Su Yujin didn't know what Su Yunruo was thinking at the moment. She just took her pulse carefully and looked at the condition of her wound. She wrote a new prescription and told Su Wenxuan and Xiangqiao the dosage and time to use the medicine.
Then he used medicine to clean Su Yunruo's wound, applied medicine powder, and re-bandaged it.
"You can eat as usual today, but avoid spicy, greasy, and cold food. It is best to eat easily digestible meat porridge, soft noodles, etc., and some meat as appropriate. Avoid eating mutton, shrimp, etc. for meat, but you can eat some chicken and fish as appropriate." Su Yujin added.
"I've made a note of it." Su Wenxuan nodded and told Congfu to tell the inn's kitchen to get the medicine according to the prescription.
Su Yujin stayed at the Penglai Inn for a while, and only said goodbye and left at noon.
Su Wenxuan stood up to see him off. When they reached the door of the inn, Su Yujin stopped him and said, "Mr. Su, please stay. I also need to go to the pharmacy and look around."
Seeing Su Yujin say this, and since it was broad daylight and there were many yamen runners and soldiers patrolling the streets to check on the flood, he had no choice but to agree, "Doctor Su, take care."
After Su Yujin and Qingkui walked away, Su Wenxuan turned around and walked back, going up the stairs of the inn.
When he saw Su Yunruo still half-sitting on the bed, he reached out to grab the soft pillow behind her and said, "You should lie down for a while, so as not to get tired."
"It's uncomfortable to lie down all day, but it's comfortable to sit like this for a while." Su Yunruo said, "Don't worry too much, brother. I'm not a porcelain doll. I can still bear it."
Seeing Su Yunruo say this, Su Wenxuan did not force her and just brought her some water to drink.
Su Yunruo held the cup in her hand, thoughtful.
"What are you thinking about?" Su Wenxuan asked.
"I was thinking about Doctor Su just now." Su Yunruo smiled slyly, "I feel that the way big brother looks at Doctor Su is different from the way he looks at other girls. Does big brother have any ideas?"
Su Wenxuan had already reached the age for marriage, but Su Yunruo saw that not only did he not mention a word about marriage, but he also repeatedly postponed the arrangements made by his parents, and even avoided those young ladies who were interested in him.
But Su Yunruo saw today that her elder brother was not only very gentle towards Doctor Su, but also did not show the awkwardness he usually showed when interacting with other women. He even seemed to be very attentive and wanted to get closer to Doctor Su.
Relying on a woman's perception, Su Yunruo guessed that her elder brother, who was as strong as an iron tree, was about to bloom.
"How dare you make fun of your elder brother?" Su Wenxuan reached out and tapped Su Yunruo's forehead, saying with a smile, "Let's not talk about the special relationship between Doctor Su and Lord He. Even if Lord He didn't exist, I don't have any romantic feelings for Doctor Su."
"It's just that Doctor Su is about your age, and because of the death of a family member a few years ago, I feel a little sympathy for Doctor Su. Moreover, Doctor Su is kind and gentle, which makes people feel close to him."
It was as if we were close friends who had known each other for a long time, and there was no sense of strangeness or estrangement.
Su Yunruo nodded.
She also felt that Dr. Su was very kind.
She is like a sister next door, giving people a warm feeling. ——There is still a long queue in front of the porridge stand.
As the flood subsided and relief work was completed, people who had originally planned to flee returned one after another. They relied on porridge to survive, cleaned up their houses and fields, and planned for their future lives.
Everything is going for the best. The faces of those waiting to get the porridge no longer have the despair and helplessness they had at the beginning. Instead, there is more hope, and there is gradually more light in their eyes.
Porridge was served bowl by bowl, and the person in charge of distributing the porridge also scooped out bowl by bowl. After the pot of porridge was scooped clean, he carried the empty pot away and brought over another pot of cooked porridge.
The new porridge was still steaming and exuding the aroma of cornmeal, making those waiting in line look forward to it.
Bowls of porridge were scooped out one after another and distributed to everyone. When one third of the porridge in the pot was gone, there was a sudden commotion among the crowd.
"This porridge is so irritating, it feels like there's sand in it!"
"Now that I mention it, it does make me feel a little cen (third tone, dialect, not sure which word it is...) when I drink it."
"Could it be that the relief grain was embezzled and mixed with sand to make up the number?"
"These bastards really don't take the lives of ordinary people seriously!"
Several people were filled with righteous indignation and started to criticize. One of them, a short, dark-skinned, fat young man, even threw the bowl of porridge in his hand to the ground with a "bang" and shouted angrily, "Is this food for human consumption?"
Seeing this, the people who had been discussing this earlier also shouted loudly, "That's right, they put sand in the porridge, and I can't even eat it. Black-hearted bastards, they really treat the people as animals!"
"Other places distribute refined grains for disaster relief, and we eat rice porridge, but here we eat cornmeal. It must be that the officials have embezzled the refined grains and made us eat coarse grains!"
"That's right, is there still any law?"
Several people were cheering and waving their arms at the refugees who were also receiving porridge, their faces filled with indignation.
