Chapter 238: Stretch Out Your Hand
Half a month later, the number of mosquitoes in Qinghua Country dropped sharply.
It turns out that within the past half month, the seeds of the silverheart clover have sprouted one after another. Although they have not yet bloomed, they have the ability to drive mosquitoes away or even kill them.
President Xu also asked guard teams from various places to harvest a batch of silverheart clover leaves to make a new type of insecticide.
Because silverheart clover is being grown all over the country this time, the raw materials are still sufficient.
After a sufficient amount of the new insecticide was produced, planes sprayed it near Qinghua Country again, which initially alleviated the insect plague.
Due to the drastic reduction in the number of mosquitoes, there are almost no new cases of HZ virus infection in Qinghua Country, so many people now dare to take off the annoying veils on their faces.
But there are still a few people who refuse to take it, and they are those who are disfigured.
However, with the help of scar removal cream, the skin on their faces no longer looks so scary. I believe it won’t take long for them to return to their previous lives.
Moreover, under the guidance of the Qinghe Alliance, the entire Qinghua Country has completed the autumn planting. Although the crops planted by everyone are different, at least there will be a harvest anyway.
Because everything was getting better, Shen Yanming and Bi Qiaoan received a notice in mid-October to go back to work next Monday!
Seeing this message, Bi Qiaoan was dumbfounded, "It was so sudden, so sudden that I forgot that I have a job, it's already..."
Bi Qiaoan counted on his fingers, "I haven't worked for four or five months. I'm not used to work all of a sudden!"
Shen Yanming smiled and said, "It's okay. If you don't adapt, then neither do they. It's the same for everyone."
Bi Qiaoan nodded and said, "Should we go see Mr. Lin before work? It's been a while since we last visited him."
Shen Yanming estimated the time and thought that the old man's skin should have mostly recovered, so he nodded to Bi Qiaoan.
However, Shen Yanming still entered the space and prepared a box of scar removal cream with the medicinal herbs grown in the space. After thinking about it, he finally dropped a drop of spiritual spring water into it.
The two prepared some snacks and went to the hospital the next morning.
"Hey, why are you two here? Come to see me, an old man?" Old Master Lin was very happy when he saw Shen Yanming and Bi Qiaoan. After all, they were the only people who came to see him during his hospitalization besides his family.
"From what you said, it sounds like you don't welcome us." Bi Qiaoan said with a smile.
"Welcome, welcome. How can I not welcome you? Come and sit down, little girl."
Bi Qiaoan saw that Mr. Lin still had a veil on his face, so he asked, "Why are you still wearing a veil? It's so inconvenient."
Old Master Lin subconsciously touched his face and then smiled, "It's not fully healed yet. I'm afraid I'll scare the patient into something bad."
Although Mr. Lin was smiling, Bi Qiaoan could feel that he was forcing a smile. It seemed that the old man still cared a lot about his face.
At this time, Shen Yanming handed the bag he brought to the old man, "These are some snacks I brought for you. They are all made by Qiao An. You can eat them without worry. There is a bottle in it. It is an upgraded version of scar removal cream. You can try it."
Old Master Lin raised his eyebrows in surprise, took out the small bottle from the bag, opened it and saw that it was similar to the one he used.
"How do you upgrade?" asked Mr. Lin.
Shen Yanming said half-truthfully, “The recipe is the same, but this one uses better herbs, and some energy rainwater is added to it, so the effect will be better.”
In fact, Mr. Lin also thought about using energy rain to improve his skin, but he tried it and found that if he wanted to fully recover, the amount required would be very large. The amount stored at home was definitely not enough, and those had to be saved to save his life.
So, the old man thanked Shen Yanming and Bi Qiaoan solemnly, and took off his veil in front of them without any hesitation, and applied the upgraded scar removal cream on his face.
Bi Qiaoan was really scared the moment he saw the old man's face. He didn't expect that this face was not only uneven, but also had different shades of color.
Old Master Lin naturally observed their expressions. Shen Yanming was very calm because he had seen more terrifying things before, but Bi Qiaoan's pupils shrank subconsciously.
But she was still calm and didn't scream. The old man was quite satisfied with their performance.
After applying the scar removal cream, Mr. Lin put on his veil again and said to Bi Qiaoan, "Are you scared?"
Bi Qiaoan shook his head, "No, I was just caught off guard at that moment. I had never seen it before so I was subconsciously a little scared.
But it will be fine after we've met. I won't be afraid of you taking off your veil and walking around in front of me anymore."
Mr. Lin was amused by Bi Qiaoan's words, "Although what you said makes some sense, I still decided not to go out and scare people."
Bi Qiaoan got anxious when he heard this, "No, you're not scary, really not. If it's because of me, I'd feel really guilty."
"It's not because of you. Compared to others, you're still pretty good. You don't know that during this period, there are still people crying and running out to see other doctors. I don't have many people here to begin with, and now it's even quieter."
There was a hint of bitterness and grievance in Mr. Lin's voice. He really liked this job, but if he lost his patients because of this face, he felt that there was no meaning in living.
Bi Qiaoan quickly comforted him, "It's okay. Just treat this period of time as a holiday. After you use up the scar removal cream that Yan Ming gave you, believe me, you will definitely become the most handsome old man in Haishi Hospital. By then, there will be a lot of people lining up to see you for medical treatment."
"Oh, you little girl!" Old Master Lin laughed and shook his head, "Since you are here, stretch out your hand."
Bi Qiaoan knew what Mr. Lin was going to do, so he stretched out his hand obediently, "I should be pretty healthy, hehe!"
Mr. Lin glared and said, "It's up to you to decide whether it's healthy or not? But, eh?"
Shen Yanming listened to the old man's words halfway and became a little anxious, "What's wrong with the old man? Is there anything wrong with Qiao An's health?"
Old Master Lin withdrew his hand, then asked Shen Yanming sternly: “How can you be a husband and not notice that your wife’s period was delayed for more than half a month?”
"Ah?" Shen Yanming was confused by the question. During this period of time when they were not working, the two of them often stayed in the space, and it was common for them to lose track of time.
If he hadn't been reminded, Shen Yanming really wouldn't have noticed that Bi Qiaoan's period hadn't come this month.
Seeing Mr. Lin's stern expression, Shen Yanming didn't dare to think about having a baby. He asked with a trembling voice: "I, what's wrong with my wife?"
