Suddenly, the door was pushed open again. Su Huaiyue looked up subconsciously and saw Li Daqiang walking in aggressively.
He was obviously not resigned to the lesson he had just received, but instead came with even greater rage and force.
"Su Huaiyue, do you think you can deceive people by using some medicinal residue?"
The eldest brother accused angrily, his voice mixed with disdain and dissatisfaction.
At this moment, Su Huaiyue's heart tightened, and she realized that her situation was even more dangerous.
Just as she was still thinking about how to deal with the situation, two hurried footsteps were heard outside the door.
Then, a familiar and steady voice sounded at the door: "What are you doing?"
The eldest brother was slightly startled and panicked, but he quickly said, "Who are you? I just wanted to see what she's up to. You know, the situation in the village won't allow her to do anything reckless."
Wei Che strode into the room, and his aura instantly quieted the entire room.
He glanced at his eldest brother, his eyes filled with unquestionable majesty, "Don't meddle in matters that are not your business. If you don't leave, don't blame me for being rude."
Li Daqiang was shocked by Wei Che's momentum and was speechless for a moment.
He looked at Su Huaiyue unwillingly, his face ashen, but turned away helplessly.
The room fell silent again, leaving only Su Huaiyue and Wei Che.
Su Huaiyue was tidying up the table a little awkwardly, not looking directly into Wei Che's eyes.
She whispered, "Thank you."
Wei Che took a step closer, his eyes lingering on her face for a moment, then he spoke, "You don't need to thank me, and you don't have to show off when it comes to making medicine. This method is too risky, do you understand?"
The epidemic came with great force, and he believed that Su Huaiyue's ability was not enough to eliminate all of it.
Su Huaiyue felt the concern hidden in his words, and a warmth welled up in her heart.
"I want to try. I can't just watch them lose hope."
Her tone was firm, yet a little hesitant.
Wei Che frowned and retorted, "Don't be stubborn anymore. I will find a way to get you out of here and don't get involved any more."
Su Huaiyue was stunned, and there was a hint of disbelief in her eyes when she looked at Wei Che.
Wei Che turned and walked towards the window, and the night outside the window gradually swallowed up his back.
Su Huaiyue stared at his back, not knowing how to ask the questions in her mind.
Silence stretched across the room, as if time had stood still.
Finally, Su Huaiyue broke the silence, "Wei Che, do you...care about me?"
Her voice was as light as a fallen leaf passing by my ear, but there was no escape from it.
Wei Che didn't answer immediately, but turned his back to her and stared at the darkness outside the window.
After a few seconds, his voice finally came through, low and cold. "Don't misunderstand me. The current situation doesn't allow you to ask for anything else, and it's simply impossible with your abilities. Don't be so self-righteous."
Su Huaiyue nodded. Even though he didn't turn around, she knew that his expression remained as calm and distant as usual.
"I understand what you mean. However, I cannot accept your help."
She spoke with a firm tone, feeling a little nervous inside.
She knew that she would never leave, as she was waiting to get the reward for saving those people.
Wei Che's shoulders trembled slightly, and he took a deep breath, as if trying to suppress his inner emotions.
"You really are...sometimes so stubborn that it's frustrating."
He turned around and looked at her with a complicated expression.
He wanted to say something else, but in the end he just shook his head and didn't argue anymore.
Su Huaiyue looked at the complicated expression on his face and suddenly felt a little puzzled. This was her own decision and had nothing to do with him.
"I understand your doubts about me, so I will use my actions to prove that I am right."
"Then you're on your own."
Wei Che walked out of the room quickly, looking unhappy.
The sound of his departing footsteps gradually faded away, and the room returned to silence again.
Now that no one disturbed her, Su Huaiyan lay in bed and slept for the whole morning.
She woke up from a heavy dream, raised her hands and stretched lazily.
She rubbed her slightly heavy head, thinking back to the conversation she had just had with Wei Che, and felt a little conflicted.
But soon, her attention shifted to the matter at hand.
"aunt"
Su Huaiyue walked out of the room and shouted to the middle-aged woman who was busy in the yard, "Can you help me call someone over? I have some medicine that needs to be distributed."
The old lady raised her head, responded briefly, and then hurried away.
After a while, several families in the village sent people to Su Huaiyue, and she distributed bottles of potion to them.
"Take these medicines as soon as possible. They will benefit everyone."
Su Huaiyue said with a smile.
Most people took the medicine with expressions of gratitude. They had been suffering from illness in the past few days, and Su Huaiyue was like their savior. They hoped that this herbal medicine could bring miracles.
However, several young people standing aside did not move at all. Not to mention taking the medicine, they didn't even get close.
The leader among them was Li Daqiang's faction, who were the people Wei Che had inadvertently mentioned who had always been skeptical of her.
The young man in the lead had a look of disdain on his face: "We won't drink this stuff. What if it's poisonous?"
Su Huaiyue knew that arguing would only cause more trouble for these people, so she patiently said, "It will take time to verify the efficacy of the medicine. In any case, everyone can come and get a bottle, just in case."
But those people didn't come up for a long time. Su Huaiyue shook her head and ignored them.
The people in the village began to disperse one by one, and gradually, there were fewer people in the yard.
Su Huaiyue was about to walk into the house when she suddenly felt a light touch on her shoulder.
Turning around, she saw a beautiful woman looking at her with a smile.
"Madam Wei, the medicine you prepared is indeed effective. My mother seemed to have less coughing after drinking it last night."
Su Huaiyue responded softly and felt a little relaxed.
She was also very happy that her medicine could save the person's life.
At this time, a man approached. It was Li Zheng from the village.
He frowned slightly, his tone laced with inquiry, "Madam Wei, I wonder if this medicine can really cure the disease? Late last night, some people's conditions seemed to be getting better."
"Don't worry, Village Chief. I'm 80% sure this medicine can cure the disease."
Su Huaiyue said confidently, "These medicines have been tested and can effectively relieve the current symptoms."
Li Zheng nodded, obviously he was more inclined to believe Su Huaiyue's words.
Considering the possible consequences, he decided to keep her one more night.
"Madam Wei has just finished distributing medicine. Can you stay overnight?"
Su Huaiyue nodded and did not refuse.
"At dusk, when the effects of the medicine become apparent to most people who have taken it, I will work with everyone else to convince those who are hesitant."
That night, the village was filled with a faint medicinal fragrance.
