Chapter 108: No Talk Yet



Hearing this voice, Xu Jiaojiao somehow thought of that young man.

Was he knocking on his own window?

After hesitating for a moment, Xu Jiaojiao stood up and walked towards the window at the back of the house.

When I opened the window, I saw the thin boy.

"What can I do for you?"

Seeing his anxious look, Xu Jiaojiao spoke.

"My...grandfather..."

The boy seemed to have not spoken for a while, and his voice was hoarse.

"Don't be impatient. Take your time."

"He has a fever, very hot!"

The boy managed to squeeze out a few words, his face flushed red, but his eyes were full of pleading.

"Okay, I understand. You go back first."

Seeing that she agreed, the boy was so excited that he couldn't speak clearly, "Thank you! Thank you...you!"

Looking at his leaving back, Xu Jiaojiao frowned.

After a pause, she withdrew her gaze and closed the window.

Without hesitation, Xu Jiaojiao picked up some medicine from her medicine box, put it into the bag, and walked towards the door.

But just as she reached the door, she thought of something and stopped.

He turned around and went back to the closet, and changed out of the clothes that Ding Xiujing had made for him.

Then he found a set of gray and inconspicuous clothes and put them on.

When I went out, I also wore a straw hat.

With the memory of last time, she walked smoothly this time.

I didn't meet anyone along the way.

The path is still overgrown with weeds.

With these, her figure was better concealed.

Xu Jiaojiao tiptoed towards the shack.

But before he got there, he heard Zeng Qiu Shui's voice coming from inside.

"I'm here to help you."

Xu Jiaojiao: ...

It's worthy of being reborn.

Helping the old man in the shack or something like that is a must-have plot!

However, her help was obviously not effective, and after a while, Xu Jiaojiao heard the boy's voice again.

"I don't need your help! Get out of here!"

She tiptoed behind the bushes and pricked up her ears to listen.

"I heard that your grandfather has a fever. I have some medicine to reduce the fever. Even if you hate me, you shouldn't joke about the old man's health."

Zeng Qiu Shui looked at the stubborn boy in front of him and almost couldn't help frowning.

Why is this little brat so stubborn?

If she hadn't known that this man would become a powerful person later on, she would have wanted to push him away.

After so many years in the countryside, Cheng Qingzhou has a keen sense of people's emotions.

How could I not see that this woman in front of me had ulterior motives?

"Get out!"

Cheng Qingzhou stubbornly stood in front of her, refusing to give in.

Seeing his thorny appearance, Zeng Qiu Shui became extremely anxious.

She couldn't stay here for too long, if she was caught she would be doomed.

"I put the medicine here."

She had no choice but to put the medicine she had bought from the pharmacy on a broken stool beside her.

Cheng Qingzhou didn't say anything, nor did he look at the medicine on the stool, but he stared at her coldly.

Zeng Qiu Shui looked very unhappy. He gritted his teeth and finally turned around and left.

Looking at her back as she left angrily, Xu Jiaojiao frowned.

It seems that the old man inside is of extraordinary status.

After waiting for a long time and hearing no other footsteps, Xu Jiaojiao walked towards the shack.

As soon as I entered the shack, I saw the boy's eyes light up.

"Doctor Xu!"

Xu Jiaojiao finally understood that he was stuttering only when talking to her.

She's not scary, is she?

Thinking of this, she gave a friendly smile.

She has saved everyone, so if she doesn't try to build good relationships now, when will she do so?

"I'll show him."

"Hey!" The boy's face turned redder and he led her to the wooden board helplessly.

The old man on the wooden board still looked weak.

Xu Jiaojiao felt a little strange. She had prescribed medicine for him last time, so why did he get sick again?

"Grandpa got caught in the rain while working."

Seeing that she looked a little confused, Cheng Qingzhou spoke hesitantly.

It turned out that the old man had gotten much better after taking the medicine she prescribed and was back to cleaning feces.

But it suddenly rained the day before yesterday. I wasn’t in good health to begin with, and after being caught in the rain, I caught a fever yesterday.

Today, seeing that he had a high fever, I had no choice but to go find Xu Jiaojiao.

Xu Jiaojiao took the patient's pulse while listening to him.

After a while, she couldn't help frowning.

"There are three patches of antipyretic medicine in total. I also prescribed some tonic medicine. You can cook it for him after he gets better."

This body is badly damaged. If it is not replenished, it will cause chronic illness in the future.

Cheng Qingzhou took the medicine she gave him and was very grateful.

Then, as if he had made a decision, he handed over the jade that was about to sink into his hand.

"Here's the money for the medicine."

In the young man's hand was a piece of delicate, white jade, which he had brought here and preserved well.

It can be seen how important this thing is to him.

Of course Xu Jiaojiao wouldn't accept this thing from him since she didn't need it herself.

"Keep it. If you feel bad about it, just bring some of this medicine for me."

As she spoke, Xu Jiaojiao took out the herbs she had just picked on the road.

The person in front of him was facing away from the light, so Cheng Qingzhou couldn't see her expression clearly.

But I can feel the kindness in those clear eyes.

"Thank you, Doctor Xu!"

Cheng Qingzhou's voice was very soft, but his tone was extremely solemn.

After the medicine was prescribed, Xu Jiaojiao did not stay any longer and turned around and left the shack.

But before he had walked far, he ran into Zeng Qiu Shui.

"Comrade Xu, how did you get together with them?"

He looked as if he had bumped into her by accident.

Xu Jiaojiao: ...

"I was passing by to pick herbs, but I saw a bag on the bench inside that looked very familiar..."

Hearing this, Zeng Qiu Shui's expression changed, realizing that she had heard what he said just now.

Xu Jiaojiao ignored her, walked around her and left.

But not long after walking, he ran into Gu Qingbai again.

Xu Jiaojiao thought that it would be better for her to check the almanac next time she went out.

"Comrade Xu." Gu Qingbai returned to his gentle and graceful appearance.

It was as if the previous gaffe never happened.

Xu Jiaojiao didn't care. She nodded and turned sideways again, trying to go around him.

But before I could get through, I heard the sound of sharp footsteps in the distance.

Judging from the sound, there is more than one person.

Knowing that he might be heading towards the shack, Xu Jiaojiao's heart tightened.

Just as I was hesitating whether to dodge, I saw Qin Shuo walking in front.

When she saw him, Xu Jiaojiao's eyes lit up.

But she didn't dare to move and just stood sideways on the road.

It turned out that walking not far behind Qin Shuo was a group of young men with flat heads.

Looking at their well-trained steps, Xu Jiaojiao knew that these were military personnel.

As they passed by each other, Qin Shuo said to her, "Go home first."

Hearing this, Xu Jiaojiao nodded, and left without staying.

Zeng Qiu Shui, who was not far away, stared at the team of plainclothes soldiers with wide eyes.

This old man and this young man are leaving today?

But she didn't have time to say anything!
