Chapter 13 Little Medical Fairy
The Little Medical Fairy moved behind her, picked up the edge of the fabric, and cut it along the edge of the wound.
Hearing this, he did not stop moving, "I don't complain anymore."
Du Huaizhi, who had just had enough fun, was in a good mood and had more patience. In addition, it was rare for a woman who studied medicine to open a clinic on her own, so she couldn't help but wonder, "Why?"
Little Medical Fairy removed the cloth stuck to the wound bit by bit, "Because you called me Little Medical Fairy."
No one has ever called her that. Others would think that it is self-destruction for a woman to study medicine. Women are yin and will absorb disease, so medical sages from ancient times to the present have always passed on their skills to men and not women.
It came to her because she was the only daughter in the family and she was determined to learn. Her father didn't want the inheritance to end in her hands, so he passed it on to her.
Du Huaizhi didn't expect that a nice name could coax people.
"What about you?" The room was silent for a while, and then the little doctor asked.
Du Huaizhi tilted his head.
"Aren't you afraid that I might take the opportunity to harm you?"
"No."
"Why?"
"I never trust anyone, and you can't kill me." Du Huaizhi said.
The room fell silent again. The Little Medical Fairy carefully wiped the blood from the wound with a hot towel, revealing a large area of fine wounds. "Your medicinal bath will heal faster."
"Yeah." Du Huaizhi responded.
"Ten taels a pair."
Du Huaizhi: "??? What kind of medicine costs ten taels?"
"Women shouldn't just take medicinal baths casually," the Little Medical Fairy explained. "Every aspect must be considered. It can't be too mild, otherwise the effect won't be achieved, and it can't be too stimulating, otherwise it might affect fertility."
"I..." Du Huaizhi wanted to refute, but was suppressed by her.
"Shh—I'm a doctor. This isn't just a whip wound. If you want it to heal quickly, you have to listen to me."
Du Huaizhi: “…”
The next day, Du Huaizhi returned to her village and found many carriage and wheel marks on the muddy road. The villagers could not afford carriages, so it was easy to imagine who left these marks.
These traces extended all the way to her residence. Before entering the yard, she saw a person sitting under the eaves through the wall. Who else could it be but Du Ruozhi?
Du Huaizhi didn't expect her to come so early, and alone, without the maid who liked to yell at people.
Du Ruozhi sat on the stone slab, supporting her head with her hands. Perhaps she had gotten up too early or waited too long, but her head was nodding and it looked like she was about to fall asleep.
"Hey." Du Huaizhi walked closer and called out.
Du Ruozhi suddenly opened her eyes and was a little excited when she saw that it was Du Huaizhi. "Sister!" She stood up and wanted to jump over for a hug, but Du Huaizhi took a few steps back to avoid her, so she could only give up awkwardly.
"Sister, you're finally back. I heard from Granny Zhao that you might have gone into the mountains to look for herbs. It takes you several days to come back each time you go. I was afraid of missing you, so I came every day. On the fifth day, you still hadn't returned, so I specially asked someone to go look for you in the mountains, but unfortunately, they couldn't find you..."
Du Ruozhi stopped her and chattered on and on about a lot of random things. Du Huaizhi was annoyed and went around her to open the door.
"Sister, why do you smell like medicine? Are you hurt?" Du Ruozhi leaned close to Du Huaizhi and sniffed her. She had smelled it when Du Huaizhi passed by her just now.
Du Huaizhi ignored her and went into the house to look for something.
Du Ruozhi had become accustomed to her indifferent nature, and instead of being discouraged, she became even more motivated.
"Sister, come back with me. We'll live in a big house in the capital. There's a big teahouse that's just opened on Xifang Street. There's even a stage there, and it's updated almost every day."
"Okay, but we have to wait a few days." Du Huaizhi replied.
Du Ruozhi was stunned, thinking she had misheard, "Sister, what did you just say?"
Du Huaizhi looked at her and didn't want to repeat the same words a second time.
"Sister! You finally agreed to go back with me!" Du Ruozhi cheered excitedly, "Sister, where are you going?" Du Ruozhi asked curiously when she saw her picking up a hammer.
"Grandma Zhao's house is leaking." Du Huaizhi said.
Unexpectedly, Du Ruozhi said something shocking: "Grandma Zhao's house? I've already asked someone to do it."
This time it was Du Huaizhi's turn to be stunned. He didn't know whether to hold the hammer or put it down. He remembered that there was another house, "The wall of Old Li's house."
"That's done too." Du Ruozhi said again.
Du Huaizhi: "Auntie Wang's chicken coop."
“It’s been repaired.”
“…”
"Not only that, but all the residents in the village have been taken care of. These past few days, I've talked a lot with Grandma Zhao about Sister. She said she's a very good person. Although she's usually quiet, she has a warm heart. Many families in the village have been taken care of by her."
"So I thought that this might be the reason why my sister didn't want to go back with me. After all, they are so old. What would they do if they left my sister?"
Du Huaizhi: Actually, it’s not that great.
"So I sent people to renovate their houses these past few days. Those that were no longer habitable were demolished and rebuilt. I also bought them rice and flour to eat, and piled firewood all over the yard..."
It sounds easy, but in fact, everything costs money. Du Huaizhi has thought about asking for help over the years, but most of the money she earned was stained with blood, and she didn't use it much herself. She just found a tree she liked, dug a hole underneath and bury it.
Du Ruozhi didn't know what Du Huaizhi was thinking. She only knew that her elder sister was a very good person, so she had to do something, otherwise her elder sister would not feel at ease to leave with her.
"That will have to wait a few more days." She still had several courses of medicinal bath treatments left, and besides, she had started to think about seducing that little medical fairy.
"Oh." Du Ruozhi tilted her head.
It's night again.
The little medical fairy put the ground and prepared medicinal powder into the medicine bottle and placed the bottle on the shelf behind her.
When he turned around again, he found that there was suddenly another person in the room. He was so startled that he took a step back and almost bumped into the medicine shelf behind him.
Du Huaizhi did not disguise herself this time and came with the identity of Du Huaizhi. "Little Medical Fairy." She spoke, and the Little Medical Fairy recognized her.
"When did you come in?" There was no sound at all. Are all martial artists like this?
Du Huaizhi did not answer.
The Little Medical Fairy took out a small packet of medicinal powder and gave it to her. "The medicinal soup is already cooked and is drying where it was yesterday. Just add this packet of medicinal powder into it."
"Thank you." Du Huaizhi took the medicine bag and looked at her again. "I wonder if the little medical fairy has any ideas for finding another way out?"
The Little Medical Fairy's face froze as she met Du Huaizhi's gaze.
Surrounded by steam, Du Huaizhi soaked in the medicinal soup, one hand resting on the wall of the bathtub, closing his eyes, and tilting his head back slightly.
If Little Medical Fairy didn't know how painful and itchy it was to soak the wound in this medicinal soup, she would have thought that Du Huaizhi was enjoying the bath very comfortably.
