One hundred and thirty-nine
Yu Ying was so focused on sewing that she didn't notice that there were people standing outside the door and windows. The room was a little stuffy due to the lack of ventilation, and a thin layer of sweat broke out on her forehead.
Fu An didn't need to shout, he quickly took out the white handkerchief he carried with him and wiped the sweat off his aunt's face.
Fu An, who had been studying medicine with Yu Ying for more than half a year, had become particularly fond of cleanliness since some time ago. He washed his hands more and more frequently every day, and started to carry a handkerchief with him to wipe his hands.
The wound, which was about six inches long, would take about two quarters of an hour to heal with caution.
Even though he had been given some anesthesia through medication and injections, the pain was probably aggravated by psychological effects. Wu Xiaoyachai's face turned pale with pain, and he clenched his teeth. He held the armrests of the wheelchair tightly with his hands, and his knuckles turned slightly white from the force.
After stitching and bandaging the wound, Yu Ying heaved a sigh of relief. When she stood up to stretch her arms, she realized that there were people outside the house.
When she saw County Magistrate Zhou, Yu Ying quickly withdrew her arm and bowed to him with a dignified manner.
County Magistrate Zhou waved his hand and said, "No need to be so polite."
As he spoke, he walked into the room and continued, "Just now in the study, I heard someone say that Doctor Yu was treating Wu Yacha's leg injury, so I followed him here out of curiosity."
As he spoke, he glanced at Wu Yacha's bandaged legs and feet, then looked away and asked, "When will Wu Yacha's legs and feet be healed?"
Yu Ying thought for a moment and replied, "I'll prescribe an anti-inflammatory prescription and get some medicine. Erlang, please check the wound every day for the next few days to prevent any other problems. After half a month, the wound will heal well and you'll be able to walk normally. In about a month, there will be no major problems."
When Wu Xiaoyacha heard that he would be cured in a month, his eyes suddenly brightened.
The doctor said yesterday that it will take at least three months to heal, and if the wound becomes festered, it will take even longer, and other problems may arise, and I will be lame when I walk in the future.
"Doctor Yu, can it really be restored to its original state?"
Yu Ying pretended to be serious: "It's definitely not going to be the same as before..."
Except for Fu Wei, the person who knew Yu Ying best and looked calm, everyone else's expressions changed slightly. Even Wu Xiaoyacha's face was frozen.
Yu Ying smiled faintly: "It will leave a scar, but it won't have any impact."
Hearing this, everyone breathed a sigh of relief.
After County Magistrate Zhou asked everyone to disperse, he also left.
After Yu Ying instructed Wu Xiaoyacha on the matters he needed to pay attention to, Fu Zhen sent Wu Xiaoyacha back.
Yu Ying washed her hands and went home with Fu Zhen after he came back. She left the chicken soup for Wu Xiaoyacha to nourish his body.
When she returned home, Mrs. Luo was overjoyed to see that both of her sons had returned. She immediately cooked some more rice and took out a piece of bacon to fry.
Yu Ying had been running around for two days and had just reached a state of high concentration, so she was very tired. She finished her meal early and went to wash up.
After returning to the room, he continued to pack his unpacked luggage and took out the money he earned from this trip.
After deducting various expenses, I earned more than fifty taels on this trip.
Sure enough, you still have to go out to earn more money.
If this amount could be earned from every trip, plus the clinic's monthly income of about 25 taels, the 5 taels of consultation fee from the head of Mu Yun Village, the 7 or 8 taels of silver from the facial cream stall in the county government, the medicinal materials business, etc., all added up, it would be nearly 90 taels a month.
If the county government develops better in the future, it will definitely reach over a hundred taels per month.
Although it is a huge difference compared to the heroines in time-travel novels who earn hundreds of taels a day and thousands of taels a month, she doesn't earn much now, but it makes her feel at ease.
Now that she had an idea of the money, Yu Ying felt much more relaxed.
While she was combing her hair, Fu Wei also came into the room.
Back in the room, he took off his disguise of indifference, and his eyes looked a little more tired. He walked behind his wife, took the comb from her hand, and gently combed her soft black hair from her head.
Her voice was gentle and full of concern: "Did your outpatient consultation go well this time?"
Yu Ying hummed softly, looked in the mirror at Fu Wei standing behind her, and replied softly, "Everything is going well, but... I'm worried about your safety."
Fu Wei paused, then leaned down, put his arms around her shoulders, and rested his chin lightly on her shoulders in an intimate manner.
"Ah Ying."
"Yeah, I'm here."
"I received a letter from that man today."
Yu Ying was stunned. She knew who he was talking about without having to think.
"What did he say?" she asked.
Fu Wei: "He said he missed me terribly, and often thought of me running towards him as a toddler, babbling for the first time and calling him daddy. And then there was the proud look on my face when I showed him how to write. He said a lot of what he thought were sentimental things, and in the end he didn't forget to fool me, saying that if I stayed in Lingnan for a while longer, he would take me back to Wuling."
At the end, Fu Wei sneered: "He's just trying to confuse me with these words."
Yu Ying held his hand and patted it twice gently in a soothing manner.
Fu Wei could sense her comforting intent, but he also knew she had misunderstood. He sighed and explained, "I don't have anything to be sad about, but I'm always worried that he'll hurt you, Mother, my elder brother and sister-in-law, as well as Fu An and Fu Ning."
People who have too many concerns in their hearts will always worry too much.
Yu Ying thought for a moment and said, "Didn't you say that the man agreed to go to the governor, which means he can do it. At least in Cangwu, we are all safe."
Fu Wei said "hmm" thoughtfully, without explaining that he had realized something else.
——If that person doesn't want to keep him, there are plenty of ways to make him get into danger outside Cangwu County.
The topic stopped there. Yu Ying thought of Wu Xiaoyacha who had suffered an unexpected disaster and asked him, "Wu Xiaoyacha was implicated by us. During the period of recuperation, you and big brother should take good care of him, and ask mother to make some nourishing food for him."
"Okay." Fu Wei agreed, then suddenly remembered what she had mentioned at the yamen, and asked, "You said you were treating the prefect's wife in the county seat?"
It was not convenient for him to ask since they were in the yamen just now.
Yu Ying nodded and continued, "I promised the Governor's wife not to mention the consultation to anyone else, but I can tell you that I'm not 100% sure of her illness, but I'm 70% to 80% sure. You don't have to worry too much."
As he spoke, he remembered something else and added, "By the way, the prefect's wife also gave me a bracelet."
As Yu Ying spoke, she raised her wrist and showed him the bracelet.
Fu Wei could see that the bracelet was of very good quality, which meant that Ah Ying was very valued by the prefect's wife, otherwise she would not have given her such a bracelet.
Fu Wei suddenly tightened his arms and sighed, "My monthly salary is less than one or two taels of silver, but you earn so much money in a month. I feel like a waiter who eats for free."
Yu Ying suddenly heard his sudden change of tone and self-deprecation, and couldn't help but laugh. Looking at the handsome face in the mirror, she jokingly said, "A young prostitute with your looks should be the top prostitute. You can't just keep her for a few taels of silver. Not only can she warm the bed, but she can also comb your hair and say nice things to coax you. After all, I'm making a profit."
In front of Fu Wei, Yu Ying gradually lost her caution and became bolder in her words.
If Fu Wei had heard these words in the past, she would have been shocked, but now she felt that considering the environment she grew up in, these were still very common and not surprising.
Fu Wei had been tense for a long time because of the bounty, and the couple hadn't seen each other for five or six days. A short absence was like a new marriage, so he cooperated with her and asked in a low voice, "Are you satisfied with my daily service?"
Yu Ying: ...
He actually got to act in it?
Do the people in the yamen know that Mr. Fu, who is so serious in front of them, is so frivolous behind others?
Yu Ying couldn't hold it in any longer and lightly pinched his waist, saying teasingly, "Go wash up quickly. I heard from Fu An that you've been staying in the government office for several days. I can smell something."
Upon hearing this, Fu Wei frowned slightly and said, "I bathe and change clothes every day."
Having said that, he still let her go, then raised his sleeve and sniffed lightly, but he didn't smell anything.
Is it because I am used to it that I can't smell it?
Fu Wei didn't know for a moment whether she was joking or serious.
"Is it really delicious?" Fu Wei narrowed his eyes slightly and looked at her uncertainly.
He is a bit too serious.
Yu Ying probably wanted to tease him, so she smiled without saying anything, letting him guess for himself.
Fu Wei saw her expression and understood what she meant. He said with a hint of helplessness, "I teased them at the government office today, and now I'm back home and they're teasing me too."
As he said this, he tapped the tip of her nose, then turned around to get his clothes and wash up.
After getting the clothes and walking to the door, Fu Wei still paused and explained to her, "If there is a smell, it's because there are many rough men in the government office who don't like to take a bath. The smell is contaminated by a bunch of rough men who smell bad."
When Yu Ying heard his serious explanation, her eyes widened.
After Fu Wei walked out of the house and the door closed, Yu Ying burst out laughing in an instant, extremely happy.
She was just joking, but he really took it seriously?
He didn't have any smell at all, but instead had his own unique scent of cedar, which was refreshing and pleasant. Furthermore, his clothes had a faint scent of mugwort, the scent she had used when she fumigated her clothes. When his clothes were placed next to hers, they naturally took on the scent of her clothes as well.
Because of this little joke, the depressing atmosphere dissipated and my mood improved.
When Fu Wei came back, Yu Ying had already gotten on the bed and was a little drowsy, but when he got on the bed, she still snuggled into his arms.
Just as she was about to fall asleep, she smelled a faint medicinal fragrance. She pulled his clothes and sniffed his chest.
Fu Wei coughed twice and said, "I used the medicine bag you prepared when I took a bath just now."
Yu Ying couldn't help but bury her head in his chest, trying to suppress her laughter: "I was just joking, and you actually took it seriously?"
Fu Wei: “…”
Although he knew she was joking, he always wondered what if it really smelled bad and she was disgusted by it?
Fu Wei tightened his arms around her and said, "Laugh, laugh. As long as you are happy, that's all."
There was a hint of doting unconsciously in the gentle tone.
