Chapter 317: Someone Comes to the Old House



Jian Ning glared at Ding Youtian angrily, took a blood sample, and headed straight for the Baicaojian for testing, ignoring the people outside. Ding Youtian bent his arm to hold the cotton swab and shouted at Xiong Er and the others angrily, "Stay still! If you knock on the door again, we won't help you."

What the hell is going on? Xiong Er and the others don't know what's going on inside, and they don't dare ask. They exchange glances, understanding each other's thoughts.

Please wait patiently for a while. If the person is killed or disabled, we can deal with it later.

Jian Ning came out of Baicaojian and pushed out another operating bed. Ding Youtian's blood type did not match, and she could not let people outside see the operating bed that appeared out of thin air. She could only save the man and make a selfless contribution.

No, she can't donate blood for free, the consultation fee has to be increased.

Never do business that loses money!

Ding Youtian knew it was useless to say anything after seeing her appear with her bed. He watched helplessly as the bright red blood flowed continuously from the plastic tube into Pei Xiyuan's body. His face became increasingly stinky, and he paced back and forth in the room anxiously.

When he saw Jian Ning's face getting paler and paler, he impulsively tried to pull out the needle from Pei Xiyuan's arm several times, but was restrained by Jian Ning's eyes.

Time passed minute by minute, and after about half a minute, Pei Xiyuan opened his eyes. He glanced around and found a tube connecting him and Jian Ning, and when he found the blood in the tube dripping into his body, he moved his mouth.

He seemed to want to say something, but ultimately remained silent.

After a moment, he closed his eyes again, and no one knew what he was thinking.

Finally, Jian Ning removed the needle and tilted her head back to drink a bottle of oral glucose solution. After a brief rest, she and Ding Youtian carried Pei Xiyuan back to the door panel. Turning their backs to him, they tossed the two operating tables back into the Baicao Room before opening the door.

Xiong Er and others rushed in and saw that Pei Xiyuan had woken up with gauze wrapped around his abdomen. Without saying a word, they immediately knelt down in front of Jian Ning and kowtowed several times.

"Alright, get him out. The consultation fee is three hundred taels, in banknotes only. Not a penny less. Otherwise, I won't be taking out the stitches in a few days. If you don't remove the stitches, they'll get tangled in his intestines and he'll suffocate. Don't blame me for not warning you in advance."

Jian Ning didn't think that her price was too high at all. Overtime work during the Spring Festival was double pay, so the consultation fee had to be doubled.

Pei Xiyuan stretched out a finger.

"What, one hundred taels?" Jian Ning finished speaking, and Xiong Er had already taken out the banknotes, "My master wants one thousand taels."

He counted out ten silver notes to Jian Ning, all with a face value of one hundred taels each. "These are exchanged at your Yan Guo Ding brand. My dear lady, please check them and see if they are correct."

"What young lady? This is the wife of me, Ding. You can call her Madam Ding or Madam Jian." Ding Youtian was secretly unhappy. What a joke. He called her "female Bodhisattva" before rescuing her and "young lady" after rescuing her. Barbarians are indeed barbarians.

"Alright, here's the medicine for you. Take it three times a day, two tablets each time. Also, go get him some tonics from the pharmacy. This medicine is extremely expensive, and it takes a lot of effort to make. Actually, I didn't make a penny out of this thousand taels, just a little reward for your hard work."

Although the other party was quite sensible and had contributed a lot of money, she had to make it clear that it was New Year's Day and they had brought a bloody man to the Qin Mansion. She would have to hire someone to dress up the Qin Mansion to get rid of the bad luck so that Uncle Qin and Aunt Feng would feel at ease.

The elderly all believe this, and she understands this.

When Pei Xiyuan was carried out by them, he turned his head to look at the corner. Perhaps he was wondering where the two beds were put in the small room.

How could Ding Youtian let him see it? He took a step forward to block his view, and waved his hand to let Xiong Er and others carry the person out quickly.

"Mom, you don't look well, but are you tired?"

"Master, please go back to your room and rest. I'll get you a basin of hot water. You can soak your feet in it and rest."

Dabao and Qiaofeng saw that Jian Ning looked very tired, and there was some worry in their eyes. Da Niu also said, "Mom, you should go and have a rest. Sister Qiaofeng and I will take good care of the sisters."

After that, she took the hands of Erniu and Sanniu, one each, and said to them, "Tell mother quickly that you will listen to your sister and don't let mother worry."

The two little ones nodded obediently, "Mom, we will be obedient and not fight."

"Okay, then mom will go lie down for a while. You two shouldn't eat sweets at night, or you will damage your teeth." Jane Ning gave Qiaofeng and Da Niu a few more instructions before going upstairs to her room to rest.

Not long after Jian Ning went upstairs, Qiao Feng brought up hot water. She added some medicinal herbs to the water, soaked her feet, and then lay down. When she woke up, she looked at the clepsydra. It was almost three o'clock in the morning, and Ding Youtian was not in the room.

She was dressed, carrying the energy-saving lamp, and just as she reached the door, the white-browed cat flew down and landed on her shoulder. This was the first time the little creature had taken the initiative to approach her. She didn't know if it had been bored for the past two days or if it had finally accepted her as its master.

She reached out and stroked its back, then tiptoed downstairs with the lantern.

Ding Youtian and Qin Yifan were still playing chess in the flower hall. Tea was boiling in the small stove on the rosewood high-legged stool beside the table, and wisps of tea smoke were rising.

Seeing Jian Ning coming over the small wooden bridge with a lantern in hand, Ding Youtian put down the chess piece between his fingers, straightened his back, gathered the black cloak around his shoulders, stood up and said with a smile: "Awake, did you rest well?"

"I feel much better." Jane Ning glanced at the chessboard. "You guys aren't planning to stay up all night, are you?"

"No." Qin Yifan also put down the chess piece. "There's chicken soup heating up on the stove in the kitchen. I'll bring it to you."

"No need." Jian Ning stopped him, "I'll go by myself. After you finish this game, go and rest. It's getting late."

After Ding Youtian agreed, she turned and left.

Qin Yifan glanced at Ding Youtian, a smile spreading across his lips. Ding Youtian said with dissatisfaction, "Your smile is a bit meaningful. I'm not henpecked. It's just that I promised to get up early tomorrow to teach her how to write."

"Did I say you're henpecked? Does that mean I can't even laugh?"

"You didn't say it, but you knew it in your heart. You looked at me and I didn't know what was going on."

"I'm not going to argue with you, but we agreed beforehand that you win by winning two out of three games. This is only the second game, you have no chance of winning. If you lose, we'll see who wins in the third game, and you're not allowed to run away."

"In that case, I will convince you."

While the two of them were playing chess, Jian Ning was in the kitchen drinking chicken soup and reading Ma Fuquan's message. Judging from the time, it was sent shortly after she went to bed. Ma Fuquan told her that several people had gone to the old house to look for her, and it was Guoguo who went to his house to report the news.

Ma Fuquan said that the man who came claimed to be General Geng, but he didn't say whose subordinate he was or what he wanted from Jian Ning. So he didn't tell him that his family had come to Zhuling County, but only said that they were out and would be back in a few days.

Before leaving, General Geng left a message saying that he would come again. Ma Fuquan asked Jian Ning if she knew General Geng and if she knew what he wanted to see her about.
