Chapter 879: Your man, you want me to save him?
While Xi Lin was wandering around, Song Yanxi was decocting medicine with the existing herbs.
She was so upset that she didn't even notice the burning wood was about to fall out.
"Get out of the way!" Xi Lin took a few quick steps and pushed the firewood out of the stove just before it fell out.
He folded his arms and squinted his eyes at Song Yanxi, smiling, "Why, you've been so lovesick that you've even forgotten your special skills?"
Hearing his joking tone, Song Yanxi frowned slightly.
It's already this late, and you're still talking nonsense here.
If she had known earlier, she should have replaced his medicine with a knockout drug last night and let him sleep well for three days and three nights at Brother Liu's house.
When she met Xi Lin's smiling eyes, something suddenly flashed through Song Yanxi's mind.
She stood up and asked excitedly, "Did you find him?"
Xi Lin nodded, then shook his head decisively.
He rubbed his chin and said with a distressed look: "Let me think about how to say it."
Song Yanxi threw the palm-leaf fan in her hand into his arms and walked out quickly, "You help me look after the medicine, I'll go find it myself."
Xi Lin took a few quick steps, blocked her path with his palm-leaf fan, raised his eyebrows and asked, "It's the wedding night, what are you doing?"
Hearing this, Song Yanxi's brows furrowed even tighter.
She asked coldly, "Who's with whom?"
Xi Lin waved his fan and smiled like a fox. "Who else could it be? Of course it's our honorable Prince Jin."
After hearing the answer she wanted, Song Yanxi turned around without saying a word and sat back on the small stool next to the casserole.
The hot air with the scent of medicine hit her face, and the corners of her lips lifted slightly. The breath that had been hanging in her heart finally settled down.
Given their relationship, the fact that Doctor Xi is still in the mood to chat and joke with her here only proves that he has confirmed it.
The prince is in a very safe situation now.
As for why he kept it a secret, you have to ask him.
Seeing that Song Yanxi was indifferent, Xi Lin stepped forward and said angrily, "Your man is about to become someone else's son-in-law, and you still have the nerve to laugh.
You heartless woman, I really don't know why he fell for you."
Song Yanxi glanced at him out of the corner of her eye and stretched out her hand towards him.
"What do you want to do?" Xi Lin took a half step back, his eyes full of vigilance as he said, "A gentleman should use words, not fists. If you dare to hit me, I'll put laxatives in your bowl!"
Song Yanxi: “…”
She was too lazy to talk nonsense with him, and silently took the palm-leaf fan from his hand and said, "I still need to boil some medicine. If Doctor Xi is really idle and has nothing to do, you can ask Sister Chunying to find some villagers for you.
If they have any illness or pain, they will go to a nearby barefoot doctor who knows a little about medicine and get some medicine."
Judging from the medicines he prescribed for Aunt Lanhua, he might be able to cure common headaches and fevers, but he would be helpless when it came to a chronic illness like hers that had lasted for many years.
Although Doctor Xi's acupuncture skills were not as good as hers, he was best at gynecology and was even more proficient in pulse diagnosis.
For common illnesses, taking three doses of the prescription he gave would cure the disease.
Even if it is a stubborn disease, there will be obvious improvement after taking a few doses of medicine.
His reputation as a miracle doctor was not earned by others, but was earned through his own real abilities.
Xi Lin sighed softly and said quietly, "You are such a cruel woman. You are in dire straits, yet you still have the leisure to treat illnesses and save lives.
Just for your awareness, His Majesty should give you a plaque with the four big words "Living Buddha in the World" written on it.
No, there's no need to write a plaque, it should be written directly on your face."
It was hard for Song Yanxi to pretend not to hear the sarcasm in those words.
She raised her eyes and asked coldly, "Since it's so urgent, why hasn't Doctor Xi gone over to rescue the prince?"
When Xi Lin heard this, he immediately laughed out of anger.
He pointed at his nose and asked, "You want me to save your man?"
After saying this, he sneered, "It's up to you whether you want to care or not. After tonight, he'll be my son-in-law."
Seeing that Song Yanxi was just looking at him quietly without saying anything, Xi Lin folded his arms and said, "If you ask me, there's nothing wrong with being Muramasa's son-in-law. He has enough to eat and drink, and no one is always thinking about taking his life."
Thinking of something, he smiled in an ambiguous way, "I heard that the daughter of Muramasa's family is as beautiful as a fairy, a rare beauty in this area.
It has to be Mo Jinchuan, who can still cause himself a romantic debt even if he falls into the water. One has to admire him."
"Crack!" Song Yanxi broke the branch in his hand expressionlessly and stuffed it into the burning stove.
Catching a glimpse of Xi Lin who seemed frightened, she said with a half-smile, "Doctor Xi is young and handsome, and his medical skills are superb and he has a long-standing reputation. I think if he just waved his hand, good fortune would come to him.
There's really no need to envy others."
"I envy him?" Xi Lin laughed and blurted out, "A groom who is tied up and locked in the room, unable to even leave the door before the wedding night, this blessing should be left to him."
"Crack!" The fan handle in Song Yanxi's hand broke.
Xi Lin swallowed his saliva, subconsciously reached out and touched his slender neck, and said dryly: "Well, I wasn't the one who tied him up and forced him to get married. Calm down."
Song Yanxi's eyes turned cold in an instant, "What else do you know?"
Sensing the murderous intent, Xi Lin quickly dropped his playful smile and said seriously, "The village head's daughter picked up a man from the river last night. According to the villagers who witnessed it, the man is not only tall but also has a handsome face, so handsome that there is no one else like him in the surrounding area."
Song Yanxi: “…”
Did the villagers really say this?
Meeting her probing gaze, Xi Lin immediately raised his hands to the sky, "If there is even a single lie in what I just said, I will never be recognized by this old man in my lifetime.
From now on, I won’t have chopsticks to eat with, or use the toilet…”
"That's enough." Song Yanxi couldn't stand it any longer and interrupted him, "Let's get down to business."
His good brother was being forced to get married, but he was not in a hurry at all.
Realizing something, Xi Lin chuckled and asked, "Why are you in such a hurry?"
Without waiting for Song Yanxi to speak, he immediately said: "According to the villagers, although Wang Xian'er's name is Xian'er, her appearance is really disappointing.
It’s not her fault that she is not good-looking, but she is too ambitious and has liked handsome men since she was a child.
She had her eye on any good-looking guy in the area, but she was rejected repeatedly, so she didn't get married until she was 21.
Xi Lin turned his head to look outside the door and said in a low voice, "I also heard that she had done this kind of thing before, forcibly robbing men.
It was just that the man was lucky, because she was so happy that she forgot to nail the window shut, which gave him a chance to escape."
Having said that, he rubbed his arms hurriedly and suddenly got goose bumps all over his body.
Unlike Xi Lin who was disgusted, Song Yanxi couldn't help feeling worried when she heard his words.
Would the prince be in danger if he fell into the hands of such a person?
