Han Su kindly came to the rescue, "It's right for the two girls to be cautious. Doctor Wu is too bold in using the medicine. Those who don't know the inside story will inevitably worry."
Then he warned Wu Zhi, "Taking Shadan Pills and Guizhi Pills together is too strong. Doctor Wu may be in good health, but he is still a mortal. You should be careful with them in the future."
He could identify the medicine she used and treat her symptoms, so he wasn't a show-off. But the way he called her "Doctor Wu" was awkward, and that smile looked like it was painted on, with some inconsistencies that made people want to peel it off.
They were just traveling together in the same business, and although it was embarrassing, it was not appropriate to lose one's composure, so he said indifferently, "Thank you for your concern, I know what I'm doing," and asked Liu Mei to see the guest off.
Han Su looked at Doctor Wu, who had the word "unhappy" written on his forehead, and his smile deepened.
He was in no hurry to leave, but instead asked Wu Zhi, "I just looked at Doctor Wu's medicine and smelled a spicy aroma in the magic pill, but I couldn't tell what it was. Could Doctor Wu enlighten me?"
Are you using her to cleanse yourself?
Wu Zhi stared at him with her distinct black and white eyes and said bluntly, "If you really don't know, I'm willing to tell you. But if you're deliberately trying to tease me, don't blame me for not being nice."
Han Su's smile faltered slightly, and then he apologized, "I didn't mean to tease you. I just wanted to verify something. If I've offended you, it was an unintentional mistake. I hope you, Doctor Wu, will forgive me."
Wu Zhi didn't fall for his empty talk, "How could Wu Xin not know that the spicy aroma was just ordinary ginger?"
"It's precisely because it's so ordinary that I feel surprised." Han Su smiled with a look of inquiry on his face.
"Is your medicine made from dragon liver and phoenix marrow?" Wu Zhi said sarcastically, then stopped talking. She burrowed into the quilt, wrapped herself up like a cocoon, and said in a muffled voice, "Sister Mei, I need to rest. Please see you off."
This person was testing her, so she didn't fall for it.
Liu Mei looked at Han Su awkwardly, but Han Su didn't get angry. Instead, he gave her a soothing smile, then stood up and saluted the bump on the bed, saying, "Doctor Wu, I hope you recover soon. Han takes his leave."
Then he went out with the medicine box.
When he walked outside, he saw Xu Jiang and Lou Yunchun leaning against the wall. He asked with a smile, "You two haven't left yet?"
Lou Yunchun stepped forward and bowed, "Thank you, doctor. How much is the consultation fee?"
Han Su replied, "I haven't even opened the medicine box, so I won't charge you for the consultation."
"How can that be? It would be bad to let you make a trip in vain." As he said that, Xu Jiang took out his purse from his pocket and took out a piece of silver.
Han Su raised his hand to decline, "Even if I don't come down, Doctor Wu will wake up tomorrow. Also, I was careless in my words just now and made Doctor Wu unhappy. So I'll treat you to a cup of tea as an apology."
Xu Jiang vaguely heard the conversation between the two and understood what Wu Zhi was angry about, so she should give the money. Otherwise, she would be the one who suffered when Wu Zhi found out.
"Doctor Wu is a straightforward person. He was just a little angry during his illness. It wasn't directed at you. Doctor Han, please don't take it personally." After saying this, Xu Jiang handed over the silver again. "Please accept it this time. Next time we meet, we will be friends. We will treat you to tea then."
This statement was so perfect that it was impossible to refuse, so Han Su had no choice but to accept the medical fee and then said goodbye.
After the man had gone away, Xu Jiang said, "This Doctor Han looks kind, but his words are like they are covered by a layer of mist, floating and vague."
Lou Yunchun said: "It was just a chance encounter, no need to take it to heart."
Xu Jiang nodded, "That's right." Then she peeked into the room again and saw Wu Zhi beating the quilt. She quickly retracted her gaze and said to Lou Yunchun, "Let's go make some porridge."
She is so soft-hearted that Wu Zhi won’t be able to scold her later.
"Okay." Lou Yunchun pursed his lips, "I want to eat the porridge you made."
As soon as he said that, Xu Jiang also wanted to eat, "Let's go, let's go!"
The next day, Wu Zhi regained her spirits. She took the medicine, and although it was strong, it was effective. After sweating and resting for a night, she felt her stagnation disappear and her body was as light as a swallow.
Everyone didn't delay any longer. After breakfast, they packed their luggage and set off.
They were already in the capital's territory. If it weren't for Wu Zhi's ox cart, they would have returned to the capital long ago.
However, it was precisely because of their slow pace that Xu Jiang and Lou Yunchun's injuries did not recur and they recovered so quickly. They also enjoyed the sightseeing along the way.
Xu Jiang and Lou Yunchun were as close as honey to each other. They went together to enjoy the mountains and rivers, visit ancient sites, and lived as carefree as a couple of gods.
The beauty of mountains and rivers is pleasant, but the longing for family is urgent.
Once they entered the capital, Xu Jiang no longer had the heart to appreciate the scenery. Apart from staying overnight, the group did not rest on the road. Finally, they arrived in the capital before sunset on the second day.
Xu Jiang lifted the curtain of the carriage and looked at the towering city walls, majestic city gates, and brightly lit buildings in the distance, and was shocked again.
A foreign land, a hometown.
Hometown, foreign land.
Chang'an is still Chang'an, but Xu Jiang is no longer the Xu Jiang who had just arrived.
Now she is a passer-by and also a returnee.
The closing drum sounded from the city wall, and the guards quickened their pace on their horses.
As they passed through the city gate, Lou Yunchun lowered the curtains, hugged Xu Jiang in his arms, and whispered in her ear, "A Jiang, we're going home."
Xu Jiang hugged him back tightly, and in the mottled light that seeped in, her hot tears wet his face.
Wu Zhi, driving an ox cart, followed at the end of the procession. She looked around in shock, her gaze finally settling on the giant plaque above the city gate: "Anhua Gate."
She engraved the three words on the plaque in her heart. This was the beginning of her medical practice, and she would remember it forever.
