Chapter 364: Lost in the East, Gained in the West
It was already evening when Lin Mo came back.
She didn't bother to rest, but returned to the tent, poured herself a cup of tea, and drank it in one gulp.
After relieving the heat in her throat, she slowly exhaled and sat down on a stool beside her!
I’m tired after running all day!
But the harvest was gratifying, and she couldn't help but smile.
Lose in one place, gain in another!
That’s roughly what I mean.
Although I didn’t buy the land in Beijia Village, I got a better method, which is good!
Liu Ying came in and saw her like this, she couldn't help but feel distressed:
"If you're too tired, just let the servants do it. Don't do everything yourself. Look how tired you are."
The child in her arms was so excited that he danced with joy when he saw Lin Mo, as if he wanted Lin Mo to hold him.
Lin Mo smiled.
He didn't reach out to hold the child.
Instead, she stretched out her hand and teased him, then shook her head, "Mom, there are some things I have to do myself. I know my limits, don't worry."
Liu Ying knew that she couldn't persuade her, so she didn't try to persuade her any further. She just told her to get enough rest and not to overwork herself.
The mother and daughter were talking when Xu Xianyu walked in.
Knowing that they had something to talk about, Liu Ying didn't delay any longer and walked out with the child in her arms.
She was going to get them food.
It's been so hard. If I don't eat something good, how can my body endure it?
Xu Xianyu glanced at the direction Liu Ying left and chuckled:
"Aunt Ying has a lot of things to worry about every day now. She should be going to prepare food for us now."
Lin Mo smiled and said, "If I have something to do, my life won't be so boring."
Xu Xianyu agreed with this.
Lin Mo put away her smile and looked at Xu Xianyu, "Are you used to this?"
Knowing that she wanted to do something, Lin Mo did not stop her, but instead gave her some simple tasks to do.
For example, bookkeeping and paying wages!
"Not bad." Xu Xianyu nodded, and she frowned:
“However, there is a problem.
Sister-in-law, more and more people come here to work. If the wages are paid daily, it will be troublesome to exchange them for copper coins every day.
Besides, the banks in Mo City don’t have this many copper coins to exchange for us every day.”
At this point, she hesitated:
"Sister-in-law, this is what I think.
I want to change the daily wage payment to one every tenth or fifteenth day.
Of course, if they have an urgent need, they can also advance their wages in advance.
This way, we don't have to worry about exchanging coins every day, what do you think? "
Going back and forth every day to exchange so many copper coins is not only troublesome, but also makes it easy to be targeted by bandits.
Xu Qing also said this today when he came back from exchanging silver. Someone followed him all the way back.
It is very likely that they went to exchange coins every day in the past few days, which attracted the attention of someone with ulterior motives.
So, we have to be on guard against this.
Lin Mo nodded, "You can handle this matter as you wish, but you have to explain it clearly to them to prevent them from making a fuss.
If they don't want to, just pay them daily. There's no need to get into arguments over these little things."
Xu Xianyu breathed a sigh of relief.
“By the way, sister-in-law, Doctor Murong is looking for you.
He said he wants to treat Qi Zhengfei's foot tonight and asked you to come over."
Lin Mo nodded, and when she saw that she was fine, she stood up and walked outside.
When she arrived at Qi Zhengfei's tent, the lights were on, as bright as day.
At this time, Qi Zhengfei was talking in a low voice with his wife, while Murong was fiddling with medicine.
Glancing at the candles around him, Lin Mo looked at Murong in confusion:
“Why do you light so many candles?
Because there isn't enough light?
There's not enough light, so why don't you do it during the day?"
Murong gave her a look of disdain, "Because he wants to wait for you to come before he lets me do it.
It's because you're so busy that I can't find you during the day, so I can only do it at night."
Lin Mo, “…”
Her eyes fell on Qi Zhengfei and she shook her head:
"Actually, you don't need to wait for me. I've already given the medicine to Murong, and Murong has also prepared the other things. You just need to leave yourself to Murong without worry."
Qi Zhengfei shook his head awkwardly and coughed lightly:
“Well, I’m not waiting for you to come.
I'm just afraid that there will be too many people during the day and too many people talking.
It would be bad if I accidentally made any noise while treating the leg and caused unnecessary misunderstanding.
That’s why I told Dr. Murong to change it to the evening.”
Qi Zhengfei naturally had no doubts about Doctor Murong's medical skills.
After all, she came from the Valley of Divine Doctors.
In addition, Dr. Murong has been busy these days helping the injured brothers treat their injuries, and her medical skills are obvious to all.
Murong saw Lin Mo looking at him, without a trace of guilt on his face:
"Look how much they think about you."
Lin Mo rolled her eyes and ignored Murong. Instead, she looked directly at the nervous Qi Zhengfei and his wife and shook her head.
"It's actually not that complicated. So what if others misunderstand me? Just make these things clear.
But after this incident, someone will definitely be in trouble, but it won’t be us.”
As he said this, Lin Mo glanced at Murong and raised his eyebrows.
hehe!
Once Qi Zhengfei's foot is healed and restored to its original state, Murong will become famous, and naturally many people will come to him for treatment.
So isn't he the one in trouble?
He who fears trouble the most is surrounded by endless troubles...
Lin Mo was happy in her heart!
Murong, "..."
He glared at Lin Mo angrily, "I feel like I've been tricked by you!"
Lin Mo said confidently, "I didn't!"
Murong snorted coldly. It would be strange if he believed her words!
He turned to look at Qi Zhengfei beside him, his expression becoming serious:
"Qi Zhengfei, I told you before how to treat your leg.
I'll tell you again, we need to break your bones again at the place where your wound has healed, then reconnect the bones and apply medicine.
What you need to pay attention to during this process is that there can't be any mistakes in the positioning, and you can't interrupt it multiple times. It must be done in one go. Do you understand?"
Qi Zhengfei nodded, "I know, don't worry, I can bear this little pain."
He pulled out a piece of smoothly shaved wood from his pocket and said with a serious expression, "I'm ready."
After saying that, he put the wood in his mouth and bit it.
When he saw his wife looking at him with a worried look on her face, he took the wood again and reached out to hold her hand tightly.
"Don't worry, I'll be fine.
I'm just sorry for the hardship you'll have to endure in the next few months."
After breaking my leg again, I will definitely need a long time to recuperate.
During this period, all the housework and livelihood had to fall on her, a woman, which made Qi Zhengfei feel very guilty.
Qi Zhengfei's wife, Chen, shook her head and said, "Don't worry about it. I'll take care of everything at home. It's just that you..."
Chen's voice trembled slightly. She couldn't help but squeeze Qi Zhengfei's hand tightly, "You have to be well."
"Yes, I will!" Qi Zhengfei nodded seriously at her, then looked at Murong:
"Doctor Murong, come on!"
Just as he was about to bite the wood, Murong rolled his eyes:
"Wait a moment?"
At this moment, Doctor Mu walked in with a bowl of steaming medicine.
Murong gestured, "Drink it."
"Painkillers?" Lin Mo frowned. Isn't it said that drinking painkillers will affect the effect?
"No." Murong shook his head:
"This decoction is for strengthening the body and replenishing the vital energy. After drinking it, his injuries will recover faster."
After explaining and letting Qi Zhengfei drink the medicine, Murong began to check the things he would need later.
Medicine, wooden boards, bandages...
After confirming that everything was correct, he nodded.
As soon as he turned around, Qi Zhengfei urged him to hurry up, and he bit the piece of wood very consciously.
Murong rolled his eyes, really anxious.
He was so anxious that it felt like his leg was about to be broken, as if it wasn't his.
He shook his head and said, “I don’t have the ability to break your legs with one punch.
She's going to do it!"
After saying that, he pointed in the direction of Lin Mo.
Seeing Lin Mo looking at him in surprise, Murong grinned:
"What? Do you really think I waited until night to do it because I was afraid of being misunderstood?
Don't be silly, am I the kind of person who cares about what others think?
I was waiting for you to come back and take action. You are very strong and you can easily break his leg with one punch."
Lin Mo frowned.
She could use her fists to hit the enemy, but she was afraid she couldn't bring herself to hit her own people.
Without waiting for her to protest, Murong picked up a pen and started drawing a mark on Qi Zhengfei's leg.
After finishing the drawing, he threw down his pen and said, "Okay, you can do it."
Lin Mu’s eyes widened, “Tell me the truth, are you seeking revenge?
Do you think I can do this kind of work?
What if I don’t control the force well?
Lin Mo is a coward!
"What serious consequences could there be if you can't control your strength? Isn't it just a bone breaking into several pieces?" Murong raised his eyebrows.
"Don't worry, I'm here. Even if he's broken into pieces, I can still heal him."
At this, everyone "..."
Why does it feel like such a joke?
Qi Zhengfei suddenly wanted to run away.
His eyes fell on Chen, who was standing aside with a pale face due to fear. He reached out and grabbed her hand, telling her to relax.
Seeing everyone staring at him, Murong curled his lips:
"Why are you so serious? Can't you even take a joke?"
He pointed seriously at the spot on Qi Zhengfei's leg where he had drawn it:
"Look carefully, hit here, this is the center point, there can be no deviation.
The strength is under your control, one chance.
And you yourself have broken so many people's limbs, don't tell me how much force is needed to break a person's bones, don't you have any idea in your mind?"
Murong didn't believe it.
Lin Mo thought for a moment, glared at him, and then looked at Qi Zhengfei who was biting a wooden stick.
"Well, Murong is right. I have broken many people's hands and feet, so do you believe me?"
Qi Zhengfei knew that she was extremely strong, so he naturally believed what she said. So he nodded and signaled her to start.
Lin Mo smiled and took a few steps forward calmly.
"Do you know how badly the person I beat the worst suffered?"
She gestured excitedly as she spoke, "Three ribs were broken, and I flew three meters away. When I hit the ground, my hand was broken too."
The moment Qi Zhengfei's attention was attracted by his words, Lin Mo's face darkened, and his hand turned into a fist and swung out directly!
