"I think your sister-in-law must be very beautiful, right? Otherwise, why are you not interested at all when a beautiful woman throws herself at you?" Shen Ming asked.
"You will know this later, go back." Xu Minghao thought of Qi Xinlan, his eyes softened, and the corners of his mouth unconsciously curled up.
"She must be very beautiful. Look at you, you're smiling so lewdly." Shen Ming said a little sourly when he saw Xu Minghao smiling.
Xu Minghao didn't even look at him and left first.
On this side, Qi Xinlan had no idea that her man was almost tricked.
At this time, she had just arrived in the town and parted ways with her elder brother and sister-in-law, and came to the Chinese medicine shop to study medicine.
Today Mr. Su Ye gave her an atlas of Chinese medicine, which contained a lot of detailed introductions to medicinal materials with both pictures and texts.
"If you want to learn Chinese medicine, start by identifying medicinal herbs. You must memorize them within two days, and I will conduct random checks!" Su Ye said seriously.
"Okay, I promise to complete the task. By the way, this freshly baked braised meat is a small gift from your disciple. Please accept it." Qi Xinlan smiled, took out the braised meat from the basket, and placed it in front of Su Ye.
"Ahem... well, if you can't finish memorizing it in two days, then three days will do. After all, there are more than 500 kinds of herbs in the book. Just memorize them slowly." The moment Qi Xinlan took out the braised meat, Su Ye's serious face broke down and he became amiable.
"It's okay. Master said two days is enough. I will definitely be able to memorize it." Qi Xinlan said indifferently. She has had a good memory since she was a child. Usually, she can memorize it after reading it once or twice.
Next, Qi Xinlan immersed herself in the sea of books, looking for medicinal herbs for comparison while reading.
Seeing Qi Xinlan being so serious, Su Ye couldn't help but nodded.
"Doctor Su, Doctor Su, please help me take a look. What's wrong with my grandson?" A hurried voice suddenly came from outside the door. Qi Xinlan felt a little familiar. She looked up and saw that it was the old woman who had given her 10 yuan to repay her for saving her life. She was holding a little boy in her arms. She remembered that his name seemed to be Ruirui.
"What's the problem? Don't be anxious, sit down and talk first." Su Ye greeted.
"I don't know what to say. He was fine before, but I don't know what happened recently. He started to stop talking and became shy. He also makes a fuss whenever I mend his clothes. I took him to the hospital, and they gave him a bunch of checkups. They all said there was nothing wrong, but I still feel like he's not normal. I heard from my neighbor Aunt Zhang that you have great medical skills. Can you please help my grandson see what's wrong?" The old woman was a little emotionally broken, and her voice was choked with sobs.
"Okay, okay, don't get excited, let me take a look." Mr. Su Ye reached out to touch the little boy's hand, but the little boy felt like he was electrocuted. He was very scared and his whole body began to tremble. Finally, he started to make a big fuss.
"Ruirui... wuwu... Ruirui, don't be afraid, be good, the doctor is just checking you out, be good!" The old woman comforted him while she shed tears, her voice filled with pain, misery, desolate and helpless...
Qi Xinlan had been paying attention to the little boy's expression. Although he looked frightened and his hands and feet were trembling, his face was rosy and he looked healthy. He did not look sick. Instead, he seemed to be wary of strangers after being intimidated and abused for a long time.
In fact, Qi Xinlan knew so clearly because of her previous life. Her neighbor was a reconstituted family, and the woman often abused the man’s daughter from his ex-wife, which made the little girl very timid, especially afraid of being touched by strangers. Once, she accidentally touched the little girl and broke down emotionally, making a big fuss, which scared her and she quickly apologized.
Finally, the child abuse was discovered, the man and the woman divorced, and their daughter was taken to a big city for treatment. I heard that it was a mental illness called anxiety disorder.
But the old woman felt sorry for the little boy, and it wasn't fake! Could it be her family?
"Ruirui, do you still recognize your sister? She is the sister who helped you take the photo of Tangtang last time." Qi Xinlan smiled gently.
When the little boy heard a familiar voice, he saw that it was his sister who saved his life last time, and his emotions slowly calmed down.
"Little girl, it's you. It seems Ruirui still recognizes you and has calmed down." The old woman looked at her quiet grandson, staring at Qi Xinlan with her big eyes, feeling a little sad for a moment.
"Ruirui, can I touch your little hands? If you let me touch them, I'll give you some braised meat, okay?" Qi Xinlan picked up a piece of braised meat and said gently.
Although the little boy didn't say anything, his eyes were fixed on the braised meat and he swallowed his saliva.
Seeing the little boy like this, Qi Xinlan put the braised meat into the little boy's mouth. After eating it, the little boy's eyes lit up and he stared at Qi Xinlan. The meaning was obvious: he wanted more.
Qi Xinlan picked up another piece for the little boy to eat, but the little boy couldn't stop eating it.
Mr. Su Ye felt a pang of pain in his heart as he saw the amount of braised meat on the plate getting smaller and smaller.
"Master, please take his pulse quickly." Seeing that the little boy was obsessed with food, Qi Xinlan whispered to Su Ye.
Su Ye finally came back to his senses from the magic of losing the braised meat. He carefully took the patient's pulse, feeling puzzled and frowning.
"How is it?" the old woman asked nervously when she saw this.
"It's just a bit of liver depression and qi stagnation, not a big problem. I can prescribe some medicine for him to relieve it." Su Ye replied.
Qi Xinlan noticed some tiny needle holes on the child's arm, as if he had been pricked by a needle, and she had some vague guesses in her heart.
"Grandma, Ruirui, are you the one who usually takes care of him?" Qi Xinlan asked while secretly observing the old lady's expression.
"No, I take care of him during the day, and my mother takes care of him at night. What's wrong?" the old woman asked puzzledly.
