Chapter 67 Father has recovered very well and can even say two words now.
However, on the fourth day, it wasn't the legendary physician Que who arrived, but Magistrate Feng with his daughter. Old Master Lü and his son followed behind.
In early summer, the warm sun rises over the northern frontier, and the grass sprouts a tender green. Amidst the smoke rising from the rural chimneys, a few people entered the courtyard.
Magistrate Feng had never been here before, and when he saw the flag stuck at her door and the large characters written on it, he was taken aback.
"Dr. Jiang is indeed very talented."
Hearing the noise, Dahei barked twice. When everyone looked over, they saw that Dahei had an ugly bow tie around its neck and a scar on its head. Yet, when it barked, it looked as if it was laughing, which was inexplicably comical.
Magistrate Feng: "...Even Doctor Jiang's dog is so unique?"
Further inside, I saw a large black horse lying neatly asleep at the entrance.
Hearing the sound, it opened its eyes, glanced at the object, and then lay its head back down. Anyone who didn't know better would think it was dead.
Magistrate Feng was completely stunned.
Old Master Lü ignored it, having already seen it before, and was no longer shocked. He then kicked Young Master Lü in the buttocks.
Lu Shizhu rolled his eyes, walked past Xiaoli, and went inside.
"Dr. Jiang, Dr. Jiang, are you home?"
"Brother Lü, you're here!"
The waiter came out carrying an axe, and his eyes lit up when he saw Lü Shizhu.
When Lü Shizhu saw the axe in his hand and the pile of unchopped firewood in the distance, her lips twitched.
Xiao Er happily grabbed Lü Shizhu's hand and greeted Grandpa Lü, who was standing not far away, with a smile: "Hello, Grandpa Lü."
Then, out of curiosity, he looked over at Magistrate Feng and his daughter.
Wan'er was a little shy and hid behind Magistrate Feng, feeling embarrassed.
Old Master Lü smiled and said, "Waiter, this is your Uncle Feng and your little sister Wan'er. They've come to see your mother today. Where is your mother?"
Xiao Er greeted them obediently, and then said, "Mother and brother went to fetch water together, they'll be back in a little while."
"Shall we go inside and sit down? Wait for them?"
The waiter had barely finished speaking when Little Treasure Pearl appeared.
As soon as Baozhu saw Wan'er, she ran over happily: "Sister Wan'er! You really came!"
When Wan'er saw Xiao Baozhu, she immediately stopped hiding behind Feng Yunzhou and ran over to hug her.
“Baozhu, I promised I would come to play with you. I cried for two whole days before my father brought me here.”
Wan'er proudly patted her little chest as she spoke.
Baozhu stared wide-eyed in surprise: "Sister Wan'er is amazing!"
Magistrate Feng: "."
Upon hearing this, Elder Lü looked at Magistrate Feng for confirmation.
Magistrate Feng nodded with a helpless expression.
"Grandpa Lü, Uncle Feng, please come inside quickly. Although Anuan isn't home, Daddy is. My daddy is amazing now; he can say two words now."
Magistrate Feng: "???"
He even thought he had misheard and rubbed his ears.
The next second, Old Master Lü's cloudy eyes lit up: "Are you serious?"
Xiao Er nodded: "Yes, yes, it's true. Anuan said that Father has recovered very well."
When Li Rong's illness was mentioned, Old Master Lü immediately perked up and for a moment forgot about Magistrate Feng, and went into the house on his own.
Li Rong remained lying in bed, motionless.
However, he seemed to be in good spirits today, and even nodded slightly as a greeting.
"He's recovered so well in just a few days!"
"Do you remember me? I'm the doctor who treated you before. How are you now? Can you speak?" Old Lu stepped forward and asked.
This time, Li Rong uttered two words in no time: "Hello."
"Excellent! Excellent! Doctor Jiang's acupuncture technique is truly superb!"
Old Master Lü couldn't help but admire it.
Magistrate Feng couldn't tell whether the recovery was good or bad. All he knew was that the way the man was lying down was exactly the same as the horse that had been lying outside.
Thinking this, he realized he had been slightly impolite, so he coughed lightly and turned his attention to their home's decor.
Upon closer inspection, it suddenly dawned on me that this seemingly dilapidated little mud house actually contained a small world inside.
Ordinary earthen beds inevitably have some mud on them, but her earthen bed was very clean, covered with a fine mat, and on top of the mat was a soft cushion.
Two large chests were neatly placed on the heated kang (a traditional Chinese bed-stove). The chests were wiped clean and contained some of the daughter's daily necessities, such as mirrors, combs, hairbands, and handkerchiefs.
There were two bunches of fresh wildflowers on top. The flowers weren't in a vase, but tied together with dry grass. The bouquets were facing this side, which looked quite cozy.
A long table was set up on the ground, covered with various packets of medicinal herbs. A faint medicinal fragrance permeated the air, which did not make people feel uncomfortable, but rather had a calming effect on their minds.
Upon closer inspection, despite the presence of a bedridden patient in the house, there was no unpleasant odor whatsoever.
The man had neat hair, clean clothes, and good looks.
Although the two children's clothes were worn, they were clean and tidy. Each one was more beautiful than the other.
For a moment, he felt at ease letting Wan'er go play with Xiao Baozhu.
To be honest, I was a little worried when Magistrate Feng came.
My daughter is usually quite spoiled, and I'm worried that she won't be used to living in the countryside. I'm also afraid that she might say something she shouldn't, which could offend the friends she's made.
After all, none of her friends could play with her for more than two days; they either got angry with her or cried because she beat them.
Seeing my daughter and Xiao Baozhu sitting together playing cat's cradle, getting along very well, I couldn't help but feel relieved. My daughter didn't seem uncomfortable in the room at all.
Outside, Jiang Nuanzhi and Li Junping also returned at this moment.
Upon entering the courtyard, one could see Young Master Lü chopping wood, and the waiter beside him clapping his hands enthusiastically.
Jiang Nuanzhi glanced at him and chuckled, "Young Master Lü is here? You're here so early today."
Young Master Lü rolled his eyes: "Hey, you used to praise me when I was chopping wood here, but now that it's been so long, you're too lazy to even bother with a perfunctory reply, huh?"
"Look at what you're saying. I was afraid that if I said too much, it would diminish your charm. I really think you look especially handsome every time you chop wood. You know, the kind of handsome that catches the eye, right? If there were any girls around, they would definitely be head over heels for you."
Jiang Nuanzhi smiled and praised Young Master Lü so much that he blushed.
"You have no tact!"
As Young Master Lü spoke, he suddenly coughed shyly and lowered his voice, saying, "Even if it's true, you shouldn't say it out loud."
Jiang Nuanzhi: "."
Li Junping, who was pouring water, twitched at the corner of his mouth.
One dares to speak, and the other dares to believe.
Jiang Nuanzhi couldn't stand it either, so she came over to help Ping'er fill the water tank with all the water.
"Hurry inside when you're done. My father has been waiting for you for a while. Didn't you ask about that Doctor Magpie? He got the news and came right away," Young Master Lü instructed while chopping wood.
"knew."
Jiang Nuanzhi responded and poured the last bucket of water into the water vat. She casually wiped the sweat from her forehead and went inside.
Upon entering, he was surprised to see Magistrate Feng walking towards the door.
"Magistrate Feng, you've arrived!"
Magistrate Feng nodded with a smile: "I came here without being asked, please don't be offended, Physician Jiang."
"What are you talking about!"
"Actually, Mr. Feng and Mr. Lü came together today to deliver a message to Dr. Jiang."
As he said this, he took a scroll from his pocket and handed it over.
