Chapter 291: Help Her
Doctor Liu snorted coldly and said unhappily, "I'm annoyed just by seeing that brat. If you don't kick him out, I'm afraid I won't be able to resist beating him up later."
Song Yanxi pondered for a moment and asked, "How many years have you known Doctor Xi?"
Understanding her hidden meaning, Doctor Liu's eyes suddenly widened. Instead of answering, he asked, "Do you think I don't want to?"
He gritted his teeth in anger and shouted, "This little bastard's ears are better than those of a cat or a dog. As soon as I got the stick, he heard the noise and ran away."
Turning his head to take a look, he said with a look of disdain, "If it's my opinion, then don't let him do any work as a doctor. It would be a shame if he doesn't send his ears to the front line to gather information."
Hearing this, Song Yanxi's heart was also deeply moved.
She had to admit, it was a really good idea.
But maybe he forgot one thing.
Judging from Xi Lin's two moves, they are not even fancy moves. If he were to go to the battlefield, he would only be chased and cry for his parents.
Let him find out the news, aren't you afraid that he will never come back?
Understanding the indescribable meaning in Song Yanxi's eyes, Doctor Liu snorted and said, "This useless guy, I reminded him a few years ago that if he is unwilling to restrain his words, he should practice martial arts diligently so that he can at least have some strength to resist when he is chased and beaten in the future.
But he has made no progress in the past few years, and has only learned one trick: slicking the soles of his feet."
After he finished speaking, he was so angry that he laughed.
Song Yanxi suppressed her laughter and advised him to think more positively.
At least, when he encountered danger, he knew to turn around and run away instead of staying there and trying to persuade others to talk.
Isn’t it an advantage to be so self-aware?
Doctor Liu frowned and asked tentatively, "You are protecting this kid so much, could it be..."
Song Yanxi said without hesitation: "No."
Doctor Liu nodded thoughtfully. "He wouldn't be so shameless as to threaten a girl like you. If he really dared to do that, I would have to rip his skin off and make a kite out of it for you."
After expressing his disdain for Xi Lin, the old man finally remembered the serious matter. He turned his head to look at the woman in labor who was still in a coma, and his expression suddenly became serious.
He lowered his voice and said, "Girl, the big thing you want has been made. An Yi took some people to test it out early in the morning when there was wind. When the wind is strong enough, it can indeed lift a person several meters off the ground."
Song Yanxi murmured, "It is indeed so."
Doctor Liu frowned and asked, "Do you think those Liang spies used this method to sneak into Da'an with the help of the wind?"
Song Yanxi raised her eyes to look at him, her gaze firm, "It's not a feeling, it's a certainty."
Apart from this, she couldn't think of a second possibility.
According to the rules set by His Royal Highness Prince Jin, the next batch of replacements are decided by drawing lots. Even if he himself wants to do something, he cannot be sure who will be drawn in the next batch.
We can’t even identify our own people, let alone the people of Liang?
Unless... they can predict the future.
Or he bribed all the soldiers who might participate in the draw in advance.
But if they could just do one of these things, they could easily open the gate of the border town and march straight in. Why go through so much trouble?
Thinking of the situation Cheng Duan had described when he reported the incident, Doctor Liu couldn't help but feel worried. "I don't know how many people they have sneaked in. If there are still unexposed spies hiding in the city, wouldn't the people be in great danger?
No, I must go find General Xu immediately so he can prepare in advance."
"Don't worry, Mr. Liu." Song Yanxi hurriedly explained, "I've asked General Cheng to go back to the General's Mansion and tell General Xu everything that happened in the mountains."
Her eyes darkened, unable to conceal the sorrow in them, "Someone has to go and bring home those soldiers who sacrificed their lives for their country."
Doctor Liu sighed heavily and comforted her, "Girl, you've done very well. There's no need to blame yourself."
Song Yanxi nodded and quickly finished the remaining porridge in the bowl. Just as she was about to ask Doctor Liu to help look after the woman in labor, he spoke first.
"Chunhua and her son are being taken care of by Changjiu, you don't need to worry."
"Chang Jiu, he..."
"Don't worry, Chang Yongnian's grandson is not a coward."
As he spoke, Doctor Liu couldn't help but smile. "That brat, worthy of being a descendant of the Chang family, does his job properly, and has quite a bit of his grandfather's style back then."
Hearing his relaxed tone, Song Yanxi couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.
It seems that the person is not seriously injured.
Song Yanxi's nerves, which had been tense all the way, finally relaxed. She felt her eyelids were so heavy that she could hardly open them. Without saying a word to Doctor Liu, she walked to another bed with weak steps, kicked off her shoes, and fell asleep.
Doctor Liu was watching from the side with great fear, fearing that if she was a step slower, she would collapse and fall to the ground.
Seeing that Song Yanxi fell into a deep sleep, he quickly took out the quilt that had been prepared long ago and covered her with it. He made sure that all the corners of the quilt were tucked in before walking out.
In the yard, Doctor Li and Xi Lin were sorting the medicinal herbs brought back by Song Yanxi, looking unusually relaxed.
Letters requesting help from all parties have been sent out. Although the current amount of medicine is not much, it is enough to wait for the arrival of replenishment.
There is no chaos in the city, and with Mo Jinchuan outside the city, the border town is temporarily saved.
Although the two of them were busy with their hands, their eyes were always on the direction of the door.
Seeing the door curtain shaking, the two of them dropped the medicine in their hands almost at the same time and hurried forward.
When Doctor Liu lifted the curtain, he was met with two pairs of eyes. He was startled and suppressed his anger, saying, "She just went to bed. Don't disturb her."
Doctor Li murmured, "It's better to sleep. It's better to sleep. If you keep going like this, even a body of iron won't be able to bear it."
As he spoke, something occurred to him and he hurriedly asked, "Did you feel her pulse?"
The journey was full of dangers. I rode the horse for so long without food or sleep, and was exposed to wind and rain on the way there. I hope I don't get frozen to death.
Doctor Liu nodded and said, "It's nothing serious. She's just very tired from being so stressed out. Let her rest."
He turned to look at Xi Lin, his face darkening, "Come with me, boy."
Xi Lin decisively hid behind Doctor Li and said confidently, "I'm not going."
The old man was clearly going to hit him, so he couldn't just rush in and offer his face to him.
Doctor Li didn't know what was going on, so he subconsciously protected him and said, "Brother, calm down. If you have anything to say, talk to the child properly."
"Talk nicely?" Doctor Liu's eyes were about to spit fire.
He pointed at Xi Lin and lowered his voice, "You little brat, if you have the guts to hide behind Old Li, why don't you tell him what you just did."
Doctor Li turned to look at him, frowning and asking, "What did you do to make Brother Liu so angry?"
Xi Lin said with an embarrassed look on his face, "What can I do? I just saw that she was having such a hard time, so I just went along with it and gave her a hand."
Realizing something, Doctor Li's eyes suddenly widened. "Did you put drugs in the porridge?"
