"It's a saying that goes, 'No fight, no friendship.' Miss Li is a straightforward person, so I won't be fussy. Today, I, Zhou Ping, lead all the brothers to toast you. As long as Miss Li doesn't mind and can use us in the future, we brothers will do whatever she wants. Let's drink up the bowls, Miss Li, please feel free to do as you please."
Zhou Ping stood up with a wine bowl in hand, and his brothers followed him, holding wine in their hands and toasting Li Xia one after another.
"Then..." Li Xia looked at everyone's actions, she swallowed, and paused with her lips parted, "Then I will use tea instead of wine to return the favor to all the elder brothers."
They were so generous and polite to her, it would be unreasonable for her not to respond at all.
But I have to keep my word and not drink any alcohol.
It's just a form anyway, as long as the meaning is conveyed.
Li Xia picked up the teacup in front of him and toasted everyone with tea instead of wine.
"Although we are rough people, we like to deal with straightforward people."
The fat man touched the back of his head with his backhand and laughed foolishly.
"Brother Zhou, there is something I need to tell you in advance."
Li Xia was worried that Zhou Ping and the others might get drunk, so she didn't want to tell him about their leaving.
So she thought about it and decided to tell him in advance.
"Huh? What's the matter?" Zhou Ping heard Li Xia's voice. He blinked, put down the wine bowl in his hand, stopped, and waited for her next words.
"I plan to take my brother down the mountain after this meal. As for the medicinal herbs..."
Li Xia licked her lower lip and spoke hesitantly.
After all, she didn't know whether Zhou Ping had discussed the matter of the medicinal herbs with his brothers.
To be honest, although he is the organizer, he is also their boss.
But the action is taken by everyone together.
If some people are not convinced, it is understandable.
Li Xia didn't want to affect the relationship between Zhou Ping and his brothers because of his own affairs.
"So soon?" Zhou Ping frowned slightly when he heard that, and said, "Miss Li, you didn't sleep last night, so you should stay here and rest up on your day off before going down the mountain. Don't worry about the herbs. I promised you, and I will definitely do what I say. But when you go down the mountain, I will ask Lin Zi to arrange two brothers to accompany you down the mountain, and they will definitely send you and the herbs you need down the mountain safely."
He was afraid that Li Xia was worried that he would go back on his word, so he made a promise to her to reassure her.
Li Xia shook his head. "No, no, no, Brother Zhou, I don't mean that I don't believe you at all. You know the situation in Yicheng right now. I want to solve this matter as soon as possible. If I keep delaying it, the situation will only get worse."
She started to explain to Zhou Ping.
The current situation is that racing against time is a race against death.
When she first arrived in the city, she learned that some of the people in the city were so ill that they had to stay in bed.
For her, it was just a delay of one day.
But for those people, this precious day may very well be their hope of survival.
"Miss, you are right. Even so, I will not say any more. Miss Li, please finish your meal first. I will make arrangements right after the meal." Zhou Ping nodded when he heard this and spoke with his mouth open.
Since it involves human life, it is understandable that Miss Li is anxious.
It would be inconvenient for me to keep her any longer.
"Thank you, Brother Zhou, but Ying Niang hasn't woken up yet. You trust me so much, so you haven't worried that I'm lying to you. You let us go, but Ying Niang can't wake up." Li Xia blinked and asked with open lips.
After all, they are not familiar with each other, and they may not even know each other's personality.
Zhou Ping shook his head when he heard this. "Don't doubt people when you employ them. Don't employ people if you don't trust them." He licked his lips and then said, "I trust you, young lady. I won't doubt you."
Tell me why you trust her so much.
Zhou Ping couldn't explain it either.
I can only say it's based on my feeling.
He has been in the land of fireworks for many years and has met all kinds of people.
Miss Li gave him the impression that she was not the kind of person who would speak nonsense.
What's more, she cares about the people and has great love in her heart.
Such a person would never joke about human life.
"Boss, sister-in-law is awake!"
Zhou Ping had just answered Li Xia's question when his younger brother who was guarding Ying Niang's room ran up to him and said excitedly.
"Really?" Zhou Ping stood up from his chair quickly after hearing what his subordinate said. He widened his eyes and asked for confirmation.
Although he recognized Li Xia's character in his heart, he also believed in her medical skills.
He knew that Yingniang would get better.
But Zhou Ping couldn't help but get excited when he heard the news that Ying Niang had woken up.
"Miss Li, Yingniang has woken up. I have to go over to see her. Sorry I can't accompany you. Just finish your meal in peace. I will take care of the rest."
Zhou Ping was worried about Ying Niang and he couldn't sit still at this moment.
Li Xia nodded, showing her understanding. "It's okay, Brother Zhou, go ahead. I don't need your help. Remember, Yingniang has to drink the medicine for two days before she can recover."
She licked her lower lip and gave instructions.
"Okay, I won't say much to thank you. I'm sorry for not hosting you well today. Yingniang and I will make it up to Miss Li next time."
Zhou Ping blinked his eyes, opened his lips and said with assurance.
"Brother Zhou, you don't have to be so polite."
Li Xia said, blinking her eyes.
"Yes, yes. This is a life-saving favor, how can I be negligent? Miss Li, let's just leave it at that for now. I'll leave first and I'll treat you well next time." After Zhou Ping finished speaking, he turned around and left.
