Inside, the morning light streamed through the window lattice, casting a few warm yet somewhat languid rays of light.
Xie Yan frowned slightly, his expression serious. He looked directly at Yu Yuehui and asked earnestly, "Are you the doctor, or am I the doctor?"
Yu Yue replied: "..."
She was wrong; she shouldn't have exaggerated to reassure Xie Yan.
Now, when Xie Yan asked him this, he seemed very guilty, his eyes darting away, not daring to meet Xie Yan's gaze. Like a tiger that had done something wrong, he hung his head and replied in a low and timid voice, "You are."
After saying that, she obediently took the cup Xie Yan handed her, took a sip of hot water, and felt the warm liquid slide down her throat. Her dry throat felt much better instantly, and she couldn't help but let out a soft sigh of relief.
Then she secretly glanced at Xie Yan, her cautious manner making Xie Yan chuckle. "I'm not going to hit you, what are you afraid of!"
Yu Yuehui: Ugh! I might as well just hit her!
Xie Yan gently but professionally removed the gauze from her body. When the wound was exposed to the air, a hint of surprise flashed in his eyes, followed by admiration.
He knew all too well how serious the wound was, but after disinfection and medication last night, it was actually showing signs of healing today, which was truly astonishing.
Xie Yan sighed inwardly, another day of envying other people's physical fitness!
He picked up the alcohol in front of him, his eyes focused, and carefully disinfected the only slightly red and swollen spot, making every movement cautiously, afraid of hurting her.
He reapplied the medicine and skillfully bandaged the wound again. "Your injury is serious this time. You should rest at home for the next couple of days and not move around too much, okay?"
Yu Yuehui is not someone who can stay idle. It's really hard to get her to rest. She was about to open her mouth to argue when Xie Yan gave her a sharp look, and Yu Yuehui obediently shut her mouth.
Okay, she's in the wrong, so she can't make any demands.
After helping Yu Yuehui get dressed, Xie Yan turned and walked into his pharmacy.
The pharmacy was filled with a faint fragrance of herbs, and rows of medicine cabinets were neatly arranged, filled with herbs that he had carefully collected over the past six months.
At that moment, he secretly rejoiced at the medical books he had brought back.
Not long ago, he had done in-depth research on the symptoms and treatment methods after being bitten by wolves and other dogs. At that time, he never imagined that the first person he would practice on would be his own wife.
He skillfully prepared the medicine, took out his own small earthenware pot from the corner, placed it on the stove, and began to brew the medicine.
The red flames licked the bottom of the pot, and a rich aroma of medicine gradually filled the room.
Looking at Xie Yan bustling about below, Yu Yue couldn't stay still any longer! There were still many things she needed to do, and she wanted to sneak out.
But as soon as she moved, she met Xie Yan's sharp gaze, which carried an undeniable air of authority: "Where are you going?"
Yu Yue opened her mouth, but was speechless for a moment. She forced a fawning smile and stammered, "I, um, I'm going to the restroom."
Upon hearing this, Xie Yan immediately put down the book in his hand, stood up, and quickly walked over, saying, "I'll help you over there."
"I can go by myself."
Xie Yan didn't say anything, he just walked over, helped her up, and headed out.
Yu Yuehui inwardly groaned, feeling like she had shot herself in the foot. In truth, she didn't want to go to the toilet at all, but since she had already said it, she had no choice but to bite the bullet and go.
Upon reaching the door, she quickly pressed Xie Yan down, insisting, "Alright, I can manage the rest myself."
Xie Yan nodded, found a spot outside, and waited in the sun.
He didn't necessarily want to go in with her; his main concern was that Yu Yuehui might not know her place and would run off to do something pointless if he didn't keep an eye on her.
After Yu Yuehui came out, Xie Yan helped her wash up without saying a word, and then got her onto the kang (a heated brick bed). He kept an eye on her the whole time, not giving Yu Yuehui any chance to secretly do any work.
Upon entering the room, I found that the medicine had already been boiled.
Xie Yan poured out the medicine after the first boil, then boiled it twice more, mixing the three batches of liquid together before pouring a large bowlful for Yu Yuehui.
As soon as the medicine was brought close, a strong, bitter smell wafted up, and just by smelling it, one could imagine how bitter it was.
Xie Yan had used an extremely strong dose of the drug this time, and he was terrified.
Being bitten by a wolf could very likely lead to infection with infectious diseases such as rabies. Just thinking about those terrible consequences made his hands tremble slightly.
But there's no serum available here, so getting a serum injection is impossible.
At this point, Xie Yan had to be grateful for those medical skills, which contained prescriptions for the prevention and treatment of these diseases.
However, Chinese medicine, especially this type of Chinese medicine, uses rare and unusual medicinal materials, and the taste of the decoction is also quite unique.
The medicine was ready, and the whole room was filled with the aroma of Chinese herbs. Xie Yan had no choice but to open the windows and curtains.
Even someone as sensitive to the cold as him started opening the windows and lifting the curtains, which shows how terrible the smell was.
The aroma filled the air the moment it was served.
This medicine doesn't smell like ordinary bitter medicine; it's a mixture of all sorts of strange smells. Most people would feel nauseous and want to vomit just from smelling it.
He carried the medicine toward Yu Yuehui, his pace quickening unconsciously, a hint of mischief on his face, thinking to himself, "This medicine is so bitter, I'll let you drink your fill this time. I'll show you how careless you are, and see if you dare to do it again next time."
Xie Yan brought over the medicine, and an even stronger smell entered Yu Yuehui's nose. She immediately understood that Xie Yan was still angry about what had happened.
The unpleasant smell of medicine was obvious; it was definitely something he had specially "tailor-made" for himself.
She sighed, thinking of her previous victim, Mao Dan. He was truly a miracle cure for Lin Dan. After that one time, Mao Dan has never dared to catch a cold again.
Looking at Xie Yan's serious expression, she swallowed the words that were on the tip of her tongue. She felt a little wronged, but dared not utter a sound.
Under Xie Yan's watchful gaze, she took a deep breath, gritted her teeth, closed her eyes, picked up the bowl, and gulped down the medicine in one go.
The moment the medicine was swallowed, the bitterness exploded in my mouth, spreading from the back of my tongue to my entire oral cavity, and I even felt the bitterness in my throat and stomach.
Her brows were furrowed tightly, her features almost squeezed together, her face full of pain, and her hands unconsciously gripped the hem of her clothes, trying to alleviate the discomfort.
Seeing her like this, my heart ached instantly.
Xie Yan quickly took out a handful of candy from the cabinet and handed it to her, his voice unconsciously softening: "Sweeten your lips."
