Chapter 249 They Are Different
Tian Shitou hurriedly shook his head and said anxiously: "No, it was the princess who told me to eat enough, it was me who couldn't eat enough..."
He couldn't even reconcile himself with what he said, so he bit the bullet and confessed, "I'm sorry, Doctor Song. I secretly gave the food distributed in the barracks to my neighbors."
He said a little frustratedly, "If the boss knew about this, my butt would be beaten to a pulp."
"Don't worry, he won't know about this."
Hearing Song Yanxi's gentle voice, Tian Shitou's heart finally settled down.
Perhaps she had been holding it in for several days and just couldn't help but tell him the whole story without waiting for him to be asked.
His mother Huaihua and Zhuangzhuang's mother Chunhua were originally from the same hometown. Later, they married to the border town one after another. The two families lived in the same alley and had long been like sisters.
Their husbands joined the army in the same year, but one died and the other retired. Since then, Huaihua and his wife have taken better care of Chunhua and her son.
Even when both husband and wife fell ill, they still asked their son to take care of them.
Tian Shitou wiped away his tears and said, "Aunt Chunhua is very ill and can't get out of bed."
Song Yanxi frowned and asked, "Is there no one to take care of the doctors at Huichun Hall?"
Tian Shitou shook his head. "Zhuangzhuang said Princess Shihan was treating Aunt Chunhua. I was busy on duty this morning, so I put my things in the yard and left."
"Did you see anyone yesterday? How was the situation?"
"I saw it, it's not good..."
Tian Shitou hesitated for a moment and asked tentatively, "Doctor Song, can you go see Aunt Chunhua?"
"Of course I can." Song Yanxi said frankly, "My personal relationship with Princess Shihan is not good, or even very bad. If I mention it to her directly, she will definitely not agree.
Not only will they not agree, they will also have us kicked out.”
Given Zhuang Shihan's temper, it is possible that she would go even further.
Now that the plague is raging in the city and the people in the city need her, it is not appropriate to argue with her again.
"Ah?" Tian Shitou was stunned.
He frowned and thought for a moment, then asked in a low voice, "Can't you just keep it from her?"
"for example?"
Tian Shitou's eyes flickered, and his voice became even quieter, "Let's go secretly at night."
Song Yanxi raised her eyebrows, curled the corners of her lips under his nervous gaze and said, "Good idea."

Outside the tent.
Doctor Liu looked at the relieved Tian Lao Er and asked, "I didn't lie to you, did I?"
Tian Lao Er's expression instantly turned into panic, and he stammered, "I was blind and didn't recognize the real man. I misunderstood the princess and thought she was also..."
"That's enough." Military Doctor Liu interrupted him and reminded him, "Doctor Xiao Song doesn't like this. Just talk normally and don't scare people anymore."
The person next to him asked tentatively, "Mr. Liu, is it true that the county magistrate and Dr. Song are both here?"
Doctor Liu said with absolute certainty, "They are different."
He raised his chin slightly, his eyes full of pride, "If I didn't know that my medical skills were inferior and I had nothing to teach her, I would have accepted her as my apprentice even if it cost me my reputation."
He smacked his lips, ignoring the shocked looks of those around him, and said with regret: "This girl is really something. I don't care about the title or not. It's okay for me to call her Master."
The more Doctor Liu thought about it, the angrier he became. He shook his head and sighed as he left.
The four of them were left standing there, staring at each other with wide eyes.
Tian Lao Er said, "Why don't I understand what Mr. Liu said?"
The young man next to him who called him uncle concluded: "Doctor Song's medical skills are even better than Elder Liu's."
"How is this possible? Brothers, for so many years, have had various illnesses, both major and minor, and who hasn't sought treatment from Elder Liu?"
Someone wanted to refute, but then the young man said, "That's what Mr. Liu said. If you don't believe me, you can go ask Mr. Liu."
Brother Li shrank his neck and stopped talking.
With Mr. Liu's temper, anyone can ask whatever they want, he won't ask anyway.
A patrol soldier happened to pass by and came over after hearing this. He said excitedly, "Brothers, you look strange. You must have just arrived, right?
Let me tell you, Doctor Song is truly amazing at treating illnesses!
A few days ago, a little beggar was on his last legs, but she managed to bring him back to life. He was so skinny that he was just a bag of bones, but last night he was full of energy and was climbing the city wall.
"Is there such a rare thing?"
"That's not true. If I hadn't seen it with my own eyes, I wouldn't believe anything you said."

When Cheng Duan brought his men over, Song Yanxi had just finished acupuncture for Li Cheng and was instructing Li Zhi on the follow-up precautions.
Perhaps it was because he had suffered too much along the way and finally got his reward, or perhaps it was because he saw the hope of revenge, Li Cheng's originally exhausted body actually showed signs of rejuvenation.
Her acupuncture techniques, Xi's resurrection soup, and the ginseng slices in the noodle soup that Old Liu thought he had made secretly but had already been discovered by everyone.
No link is missing.
If he continues like this, not to mention being able to live to the sixty or seventy years of an ordinary person's lifespan, he will definitely be able to live ten or eight years longer.
If he takes good care of himself from now on, he may be able to live past 40.
There were too many other things, but Song Yanxi didn't dare to hope for them.
Seeing the burly Cheng Duan in armor, the two brothers were obviously frightened and subconsciously hid behind Song Yanxi.
In their subconscious, she had already become someone they could trust, someone they could even confide their lives in.
Cheng Duan froze in place, unable to move forward or backward for a moment.
He muttered under his breath, "Do I look that scary?"
He didn't care about being depressed. He took a few quick steps forward and said in a low voice, "Princess, something happened to General Lin."
Song Yanxi's eyebrows jumped violently, and she asked excitedly, "Dead?"
Cheng Duan was also startled by her words and hurriedly said, "Brothers, we found a signal from General Lin sixty miles to the west. He must have been intercepted by Liang army spies. General Xu has already sent someone to meet him."
He blinked hard a few times and emphasized, "General Lin is carrying a distress signal commonly used in the military, which has three colors. He is just trapped and not injured."
Yes, if she were Princess Yong'an, she would definitely look forward to losing her husband day and night if she had to deal with such a bastard.
After all, if divorce fails, remaining a widow is the best option.
But there are so many people here now, and such a rebellious thing must never be shown.
Not even a hint of it!
Song Yanxi didn't know how anxious Cheng Duan was. When she heard him say that Lin Tingfeng was not dead, she suddenly felt relieved.
She murmured, "It's good that he's not dead, otherwise it would be too easy for him..."
The whispering voice was already low, and there happened to be patrolling soldiers walking by outside the tent, so Cheng Duan only heard the first few words.
His eyes suddenly widened, clearly shocked.
Does this princess want Mr. Lin to die or not?
Song Yanxi pinched her palms hard, forcing herself to suppress the hatred surging in her chest. Only after calming down did she look up at Cheng Duan.
She asked, "General Xu, what are your thoughts on the Liang State spies?"
Before Lin Tingfeng, Mo Jinchuan had sent at least eighty people to various places to borrow grain, if not a hundred, but not a single one of them came back alive.
No matter how elite the Liang State spies were, they could not defeat ten enemies alone.
The border town is an important border defense area. It is already a big deal that a spy from Liang State sneaked in. How did these dozens of people come in?
It's impossible that someone can really escape underground!
Cheng Duan straightened his expression and said, "General Xu has personally led people to investigate at each city gate. Even if these people came from the water or fell from the sky, they will definitely be thoroughly investigated."
"They've already marched across the border town to intercept General Lin. What's the point of investigating now?"
Song Yanxi's face turned cold, but suddenly a light bulb went off in her head.
She stood up suddenly and asked excitedly, "What did General Cheng just say?"
