Chapter 42: Wedding in the 1960s



In the 1960s,

In the middle of the night, Tao Yuan suddenly woke up. With the moonlight shining in, he saw the person sitting next to him.

Tao Yuan sat up, turned on the desk lamp on his side, then turned to look at He Liyuan and said, "Can't sleep because of the pain?"

He Liyuan remained silent and did not answer him. The pain was only one of the reasons. When he thought about his future life, he could not sleep peacefully.

Tao Yuan lifted the quilt and got out of bed. He took out his own medicine box, opened it, took out a small porcelain bottle, poured thick medicine into the cup, and then poured some warm water from the thermos into it.

Tao Yuan sat down beside the bed with the cup in his hand, handed it to He Liyuan and said, "Drink it, and you'll have a good sleep after you finish it."

He Liyuan still didn't say anything, nor did he reach out to take the cup.

Tao Yuan put the cup on the bedside, then stood up and walked towards the door.

"Where are you going?" He Liyuan finally asked.

"I'm going to see if Mom is asleep." Tao Yuan had already opened the door and was ready to go out.

"Come back!" He Liyuan immediately picked up the cup, drank it all, put it down and said, "I'm done."

Tao Yuan closed the door, went around to the other side of the bed, and sat with him on the headboard.

He Liyuan turned to look at him and said, "We are all adults, and married people. Don't complain to mom every time something happens."

"What you said makes sense." Tao Yuan agreed. "Then, as a married adult, shouldn't you also be so willful and irritable as to vent your anger by hurting yourself?"

He Liyuan was speechless in rebuttal. He had not expected that his little wife was such a powerful person who could have him completely under her control. If he really did not intend to divorce, he could not help but worry about his future life.

"Go to sleep. After drinking the medicine, you will fall asleep soon." Tao Yuan looked at him and said.

After the two of them lay down, He Liyuan closed his eyes and immediately felt sleepy.

Tao Yuan added some sleeping-inducing herbs to the medicine. Taking too many painkillers is bad for the body, and it takes some time for the body to recover, so the pain now is something he has to endure.

After making sure He Liyuan was asleep, Tao Yuan turned on the light and sat up. He held He Liyuan's face and kissed him on the forehead. He thought to himself, "Don't be sad, don't be upset. I'm here, and you'll get better soon."

The next day, Tao Yuan helped He Liyuan wipe his face and said to him, "Give me your hand."

He Liyuan was already used to being treated like this, so he raised his hand and let him wipe it.

Tao Yuan held his broad palm, looked at the back of his hand and said, "You're recovering well."

He Liyuan also glanced at the back of his hand, and then froze. He thought, could it be that he remembered it wrongly, and the injury was on the other hand? Then he raised his other hand and took a look, and there was no scar at all.

He Liyuan was puzzled. He had punched the mirror several times yesterday before shattering it completely. There was not only a deep scratch on the back of his hand, but also numerous smaller cuts. Even if it healed quickly, it should have formed a scar first. Why was there no trace at all? It was as if he had never been injured.

"Is my medicine effective?" Tao Yuan looked at him proudly and said, "What do you think if I use it on your face?"

He Liyuan stared at him with wide eyes. "Can this medicine be used on my face?"

"Of course you can. Although this medicine will be more effective if used before the wound heals, it's a little late to use it now. But if you use it for a while, it will still be effective."

He Liyuan was shocked for a long time before he came back to his senses. In other words, his face could still recover a little. He didn't ask for a complete recovery, as long as he could see people.

"Is this medicine really that effective? Where did you buy it?" He Liyuan thought, if it really works, he could buy more.

"This is a recipe left by my grandfather, and I made it myself. You can't buy it outside. Some of the medicine is hard to get, so I asked my father to help me find it. It took some time. I just made the medicine two days ago and was going to give it to you yesterday. Who knew you would run to the bathroom and cut your hand, so I had to waste some on you."

"Why didn't you tell me earlier? This little wound on your hand is nothing. It doesn't require any medicine."

"If I don't let you see the effect, will you believe it?" Tao Yuan looked at him and said.

He Liyuan remained silent. He really didn't believe it. After all, the injury on his face was quite serious.

Tao Yuanzhan said, "The sun is shining brightly today. I'll push you out to the yard to bask in the sun, replenish calcium, and disinfect at the same time."

Tao Yuan pushed him into the yard, sat down opposite him, looked at him and said, "Just be patient for a while, your face will definitely recover, and your legs will be able to stand up soon."

"Why are you so confident that I can get better?" He Liyuan didn't know why he was so sure that he could get better.

"Anyway, if I say you can get better, then you can get better. My grandfather is a miracle doctor. I'll ask him to bless you, and you will definitely get better." Tao Yuan said nonsense seriously.

"...You and grandma must have something in common. She was the only one in our family who believed in these superstitious things, and now there is one more." He Liyuan said.

"It doesn't matter if you don't believe it now. The facts will prove everything soon." Tao Yuan turned his head and asked him, "Do you think my skin is good?"

"...very good." He Liyuan didn't know why he suddenly asked this.

"Is it just good? Touch it and feel it carefully." Tao Yuan took his hand and put it on his face.

The sudden touch of the smooth touch made He Liyuan lose his mind and feel inexplicably nervous, because he actually liked the feeling of touching his skin.

"Now, describe to me how my skin feels."

"Very smooth, very tender, very comfortable..." He Liyuan expressed his inner feelings completely instinctively.

"This is all because of my grandfather's blessing. Although your face can't become as smooth as mine, it's still possible to recover to the same level as before."

He Liyuan didn't listen to what he was saying at all, but stared at him in a daze. He could only hear his own heartbeat because his heart was beating.

……………………

A few days later, He Liyuan went to the hospital for a follow-up checkup. Tao Yuan handed him a black mask and asked him to "try it on."

He Liyuan looked at it over and over again before he realized it was a mask. It was a black mask he saw for the first time. It was very different from the thick white cotton masks in the hospital. This black mask was very thin and had a three-dimensional feel because it had a bulge in the middle.

"Put it on quickly." Tao Yuan urged him.

"Where did you come from?" He Liyuan asked, then put on the mask.

"I made it myself." Tao Yuan said.

He Liyuan was not surprised at all, because his little wife had surprised him too many times.

The damaged skin on his face was healing at a visible rate every day. He could sleep soundly every night, and the pain during the day was not as severe. Eating the delicious food he cooked every day, he felt that he had grown a lot of weight.

Tao Yuan looked at him with satisfaction, then took out a round mirror and let him look at himself. "How is it? Pretty handsome, right?"

He Liyuan looked at himself in the mirror and was stunned for a moment. This mask was not only comfortable to wear, but also looked good.

"Let's go, our parents are waiting for us outside." Tao Yuan pushed him out.

After Tao Yuan pushed He Liyuan out, He Huaimin and Su Lan were stunned when they saw the mask on He Liyuan's face.

Su Lan stepped forward, looked He Liyuan around and asked, "Is this a mask? Why does it look so, so..."

Su Lan wanted to say, how come he looks so good, but she was worried that the word "good-looking" would hurt He Liyuan. They all knew that Tao Yuan was using medicine on He Liyuan's face, and his face had indeed recovered a little in the past few days, but they didn't have high hopes for his full recovery.

"Made by Ruqing." He Liyuan likes this mask very much. Even if his face can be healed, he hopes to have the opportunity to wear this mask when going out in the future.

Su Lan could guess without him saying anything that it must have been Tao Yuan who did it for him.

It was almost time, and the three of them got in the car. He Huaimin had taken a special leave today to accompany He Liyuan to the hospital for a follow-up examination.

Seeing that he kept touching the mask and seemed to like it very much, Tao Yuan said to him, "I'll make you a camouflage one next time."

As soon as He Liyuan heard the word camouflage, he immediately turned to look at him and nodded.

Tao Yuan reached out to help him adjust his mask.

Su Lan couldn't help but smile as she looked at the intimacy between the two. Even if they couldn't be husband and wife in the future, being friends or brothers would be fine too.

After arriving at the hospital, He Liyuan underwent an examination, took some X-rays, and then waited for the results.

The doctor placed the film on the light box and looked at it again and again, his face full of surprise and an expression that seemed out of place.

"Doctor, is there any problem?" Su Lan asked nervously.

The doctor shook his head and said, "There's nothing wrong, but the recovery is so fast, it's a bit abnormal. Even with a special physique, it shouldn't recover so quickly."

Su Lan asked nervously again, "Recovering too quickly, isn't that good?"

"Oh, that's not the case. A quick recovery is certainly a good thing. I just find it strange. I've been a doctor for so many years, and I've never seen someone injured like this recover so quickly."

When Su Lan heard that it was not a bad thing, he patted his chest and breathed a sigh of relief.

"In addition to the medicines prescribed by the hospital, have you given him other medicines, such as new foreign medicines?" The doctor still felt that there must be a reason why he recovered so quickly.

"No." He Liyuan shook his head and said, "Apart from the Western and Chinese medicines prescribed by the hospital, and those pills, I didn't take any medicine I bought at home."

He Liyuan thought, medicine is not something else, can he take it randomly?

"Chinese medicine and pills?" The doctor looked at him puzzledly. "I only prescribed Western medicine for you, not Chinese medicine or pills. Chinese medicine should be prescribed by a Chinese medicine practitioner."

He Liyuan was stunned for a moment, then turned to look at Tao Yuan. He was responsible for all his medicines, and he had already started taking Chinese medicine when he was still in the hospital.

"I prescribed the Chinese medicine and pills for him," said Tao Yuan.

When the doctor heard this, he immediately became angry. "Aren't you kidding me? Can anyone prescribe medicine? What if someone dies?!"

"I understand pharmacology. I know both Chinese and Western medicine. I wouldn't give him any random medicine." Tao Yuan said calmly, "Besides, I made the medicine according to the prescription left by my grandfather. I knew it would be effective, so I gave it to him."

"Who is your grandfather? Is he a Chinese medicine doctor?" asked the doctor.

Su Lan answered for Tao Yuan, "My daughter-in-law's grandfather is the famous doctor Luo Guyang."

"The miraculous doctor Luo Guyang?" The doctor paused and said, "Hasn't he been dead for several years?"

"That's why I said that it was the prescription he left behind, and then I made the medicine myself. If my grandfather were still alive, I wouldn't have to make the medicine," said Tao Yuan.

"Let me see the prescription," said the doctor.

"My grandfather's rule is that he only prescribes medicine, not prescriptions. His prescriptions must never be passed on to others, nor can they be seen by others."

"But if you don't show me, what if the prescription isn't right and something goes wrong later?" He had been a doctor for decades and knew the rules of the miraculous doctor Luo Guyang, having witnessed his skills firsthand. He also had selfish motives: he wanted to see Luo Guyang's prescriptions, which no other doctor had seen.

"Isn't Brother Liyuan's test results and recovery speed the best proof of whether the medicine is suitable for the condition, effective, and likely to cause any problems?" Tao Yuan said. "Like I said earlier, I understand pharmacology and both Chinese and Western medicine. If I weren't absolutely sure, I wouldn't give him any medicine. He's my husband, how could I possibly harm him?"

"This..." The doctor had to admit that He Liyuan's recovery speed was truly astonishing, and he had no adverse reactions. However, he still did not give up and wanted to see the legendary Luo Guyang's prescription. "Please show it to me alone. I will never pass it on to anyone else. Besides, your grandfather's prescription is so effective. If you show it to me, I can save more people. You are doing a good deed."

"Do you know why my grandfather's prescription cannot be passed on to others?" Tao Yuan asked.

The doctor was silent.

"It seems you know it," Tao Yuan said with a smile, "so I won't say much more."
