After a period of rest, it's time to weed and fertilize again.
Now Bai Yajing doesn't need to do anything; she can just stay in the clinic and see patients.
Li Xingyue came over when we finished work that day.
However, she was limping and had to be helped over.
As soon as Aunt Wang arrived at the door, she started calling out, "Jing, come quick! Li, the educated youth, has hurt his leg!"
"Oh dear, this injury is quite serious, Li Zhiqing. You shouldn't go to work for a while. You should rest and recover."
Aunt Liu, who was helping Li Xingyue along with Aunt Wang, was silently complaining to herself, "These city kids are so unreliable when it comes to work; they can even trip over their own legs while hoeing weeds! Tsk tsk..."
Bai Yajing came out upon hearing the sound.
"Aunties, please help him in quickly."
At first glance, it's quite frightening; there's blood gushing all over that leg.
However, judging from her eyesight, the injury wasn't serious, so she must have been careful in her actions.
Given her composed nature and having witnessed her work before, she shouldn't have been so reckless as to suffer such an injury.
So it's very likely that this person did it on purpose.
Li Xingyue, her face pale, leaned on Aunt Wang's shoulder.
He looked weak and said to her, "Thank you for your help, Comrade Bai."
Her frail and helpless appearance, coupled with her gentle and obedient looks, truly evokes pity.
Unfortunately, she encountered the unromantic Bai Yajing.
"You're welcome, it's just my duty."
Once the person was lying on the hospital bed, Bai Yajing took out the first-aid kit and began to treat her injuries.
Looking at her subordinate's wounds, Bai Yajing clicked her tongue in amazement. This woman is ruthless to herself! What's she after?!
However, the fact that she could be so ruthless towards herself clearly indicates a larger scheme, so she really needs to be on guard.
So she didn't let the two aunties leave, and the entire process of cleaning and dressing was done right under their noses.
"Luckily, the injury isn't too serious. Don't get it wet when you get back, and remember to change the dressing every day. By the way, the medicine will cost 50 cents in total."
After packing up her things, I handed her the medicine bag and gave her a few words of advice.
Li Xingyue took it and quickly thanked her. She then took out 50 cents from her pocket and handed it to her.
"Thank you very much, Comrade Bai. You've really gone to a lot of trouble today. It's getting late, so I won't keep you from going home any longer."
She tried to get out of bed, but almost fell as soon as she did, and was helped up by the two aunties who had been by her side.
"Be careful, Li Zhiqing. Let us help you back."
“Yes, you definitely can’t walk by yourself. We’re going home anyway, it’s on our way.”
Upon hearing this, Li Xingyue's eyes flickered slightly, and she quickly waved her hand, "No need, I've already troubled you two aunties too much, I'm really sorry. Besides, I'm afraid the wound might reopen halfway, and then I'll have to trouble Comrade Bai again... or perhaps..."
Then, turning to Bai Yajing, he suggested, "How about I stay at the clinic tonight and go back tomorrow when I feel better? Is that alright, Comrade Bai?"
The two women looked at each other, a hint of confusion in their eyes. Everything had been taken care of, and the wound wasn't too big. They should be fine to help her back home, right?
Aunt Wang hesitated for a moment, "Um... but outsiders can't stay in the clinic at night. That's always been the rule, after all, there are quite a few precious medicinal herbs here."
This rule was established starting with Sister-in-law Xiang, and they all abide by it.
Bai Yajing raised an eyebrow. Oh, so you're waiting for her here.
Both women offered to take her home, but she refused and insisted on staying at the clinic. Who would believe there wasn't something fishy going on?
I knew it! How could someone be so stupid as to accidentally cut their leg while hoeing weeds? They've been in the countryside for months now.
