Chapter 1773 Granny Fang is Gone
With the snow falling so heavily and the weather getting colder, Shuyu was a little worried about Grandma Fang.
Come to think of it, she didn't see her when she went to the clinic this morning.
I've been too busy these past few days, and only today did I have the chance to go to the clinic. As for the matter of Grandma Fang being her great-aunt, I can only put it aside for now.
Meng Pei let Shu Yu and the others get into the carriage first, and then slowly drove the carriage straight to the Mi Family Medical Clinic.
When Shu Yu and the others arrived, Doctor Mi was standing at the door looking at the snowy sky with a worried expression.
Shu Yu jumped out of the car. "Dr. Mi, what are you doing?"
"It's snowing, and the number of patients is likely to increase again in the next few days." The roads are slippery in the snow, so fewer people will go out.
The problem is that bandits appeared in the county town some time ago, which made most people afraid to go out easily.
Now that we can travel freely, everyone is naturally eager to go out and find work. It's just snowing, so we just need to be careful. It can't be worse than encountering bandits, right?
As a result, the number of people suffering from falls and frostbite naturally increases.
Dr. Mi is now worried because he doesn't have many medicinal herbs left in his shop. The county town has been closed for almost twenty days since the night of the chaos caused by the mountain bandits, and he should have gone to buy more herbs half a month ago.
Dr. Mi sighed and shook his head. Hearing that Meng Pei had come to pick up Uncle Meng, he immediately led them inside.
As they walked, he explained some important points, which Meng Pei noted down one by one.
"It's good that you came today. If there are more patients in a few days, it will inevitably disturb his rest. If he accidentally bumps into something, he will suffer even more. It's best to take him home to recover while the road is still relatively clear. He's not in big trouble now. If anything happens, I'll go to the Meng family to check on him."
"Thank you very much." Meng Pei cupped his hands in thanks and led Xia Yan into the house.
Uncle Meng needs to clean up and tidy up some of the personal clothing in the room, so Shu Yu and Ying Xi won't be able to go in.
While Meng Pei and Xia Yan were tidying up inside, Shu Yu went to find Grandma Fang in her room.
After knocking on the door for a while without seeing anyone, just then the apprentice from the clinic came to the backyard to prepare medicine. Seeing Shu Yu knocking on the door, he hurriedly stepped forward and said, "Miss Lu, Granny Fang has left."
Shu Yu was taken aback. "Gone? Where did they go?"
Unable to leave the city or return to the village, where could she go?
The young apprentice replied, "Isn't Brother Gui helping out at the county government office? He came back yesterday morning and took Granny Fang there. From what I heard from him, his injuries have almost healed, and he spends most of his time at the county government office now. He only came back for one night these past few days because Doctor Mi asked him to come back to change his dressing. Since he doesn't need to stay at the clinic anymore, it's not appropriate for Granny Fang to stay here alone. The county government office is short-staffed, so Brother Gui asked the adults and arranged for Granny Fang to help out there."
Shu Yu's eyes widened slightly, and the young apprentice over there said enviously, "Brother A-Gui is really capable."
"Hey, what's wrong? Is working for me a disservice to you?" Doctor Mi suddenly appeared out of nowhere and glared at the apprentice doctor.
The young apprentice shrank back, took a small step back, and muttered a couple of words to Shu Yu, "Dr. Mi said our cooking skills are terrible. These past few days, Granny Fang has been helping out in the kitchen, and he's been eating very well. Now that Granny Fang is gone, he'll have to make do with our pig swill again."
