Under Yin Mengmeng's medical care, after more than twenty days of rest, Xu Nian's injuries quickly recovered.
"Your injuries are completely healed now. The consultation fee is five taels of silver," Yin Mengmeng said, estimating Xu Nian's wealth.
"I have no money." Xu Nian said with a straight face, quietly moving the silver pouch in her arms further inside.
"..." Yin Mengmeng's smile froze when she noticed Xu Nian's little actions.
When she was treating her wounds, she noticed that the woman had a bulging silver bag on her body. She had previously given her money to buy food, but now she was telling her that she had no money.
Is it easy for her, a traveling doctor, to make money?
She's so stingy, she won't even give me this little bit of money.
"Find another way to pay for the medical expenses; I won't give you the money." Xu Nian forced back her hand from the silver pouch, suppressing her embarrassment.
There's no way I'll give you money; there's no way I'll ever give you money in this lifetime.
"How would you like to pay?" Yin Mengmeng smiled gently, thinking to herself whether to drug Xu Nian into unconsciousness, then took the five taels of consultation fee and left.
Upon catching sight of the pig and the fox beside her, she immediately abandoned the idea.
Her medicine can knock out one person, but whether it can knock out two demons is another matter.
“Dr. Yin, it’s not safe for you to travel alone. I happen to be traveling alone as well. Why don’t we travel together? I’ll take care of your safety, and you can treat my injuries,” Xu Nian said seriously.
"No way! You're a Taoist priest who fights demons and monsters every day. If I heal you for free every time, I'll be at a huge disadvantage!"
"I need to eat! Daoist Master, I'll starve to death if I suffer a loss." Yin Mengmeng pouted and complained, her delicate face showing a hint of distress.
While others make a fortune practicing medicine, she struggles to make ends meet.
"Then I'll feed you." Xu Nian seemed conflicted and hesitant.
"You're protecting me and feeding me? That's wonderful! Daoist Master, how long will you feed me? How many meals a day?" Yin Mengmeng's eyes sparkled. Someone was going to feed her? Was she dreaming?
“Three meals a day, except for big meals with meat and fish, at any time.” Xu Nian’s usually stern and serious face broke into a smile; she was amused by Yin Mengmeng’s reaction.
The girl's eyes lit up as if she'd found gold and silver when she heard that meals would be provided; she was truly adorable.
"That's great! Then I'll follow you forever. From now on, I'll take care of your injuries." Yin Mengmeng excitedly hugged Xu Nian, wishing she could give her future benefactor a few big kisses.
Yuanbao and the little white fox, who were watching from the sidelines, were speechless.
This was the first time they had ever seen such a foolish person, who was swindled out of their money with just one meal.
Luckily, Xu Nian is a good person. If she had encountered a malicious human trafficker, she would have been sold and still happily helping the trafficker count the money.
"Okay." Xu Nian let Yin Mengmeng hug her.
After having a good time, Yin Mengmeng carried her medicine kit and bag and followed Xu Nian with a big smile on her face.
"Have you finished dealing with everything in the village?" Xu Nian asked Yin Mengmeng.
"I've met everyone in the village and told them I'll only stay here for a month. Today is the last day." Yin Mengmeng hugged Xu Nian's arm, her overly familiar enthusiasm bordering on excessive.
Xu Nian didn't feel much about it. She didn't have any friends, and Yin Mengmeng was honest and kind-hearted, so she got along well with her.
Thus, a Taoist priest and a traveling doctor began their journey together.
Xu Nian didn't have a specific goal; she went almost wherever Yin Meng wanted to go!
Everything is based on Yin Mengmeng's wishes.
...
Damn mission! Of all the things to protect, why did it have to be personal safety, and for a lifetime at that!
Given this task, she and Yin Mengmeng are inseparable. Who knows if this will cause any misunderstandings in the long run!
Xu Nian sighed inwardly, then looked up and met Yin Mengmeng's silly, grinning face.
She had a steamed bun in her left hand and a chopstick of pickled cabbage in her right, and she ate with great relish.
The little white fox, its eyes vacant, followed Yuanbao, munching on grass beside him. A fox fallen into a trap, it was bullied by pigs.
Once it regains its strength, roast the piglet immediately.
Sigh! The first priority is for my wife.
Thinking this, the little white fox turned its gaze to Xu Nian again, its fox eyes narrowed slightly, and its big tail behind it swayed unconsciously.
However, a moment later, Yin Mengmeng stood in front of Xu Nian, blocking the little white fox's view of people. Instantly, an unfriendly gloom appeared in the little white fox's eyes.
If only we didn't have this burden, she'd be so chattering all the time, completely capturing Niannian's attention.
As a result, Niannian rarely pays attention to it now, let alone hugs it.
She also has a big appetite. Even though the roast chicken was bought for her, she would always eat it when Niannian wasn't looking, leaving a pile of chicken bones for her.
It's infuriating!
The little white fox secretly decided that after dealing with the little piglet, she would deal with this girl named Yin Mengmeng.
Then it will make her eat roasted chicken bones every meal, nothing but roasted chicken bones, so that she can compete with it for food and for Niannian's attention.
Perhaps it was because the little white fox's gaze was too intense, Yin Mengmeng looked over blankly at first, and then saw the little white fox give her a strange smile.
Yin Mengmeng was startled and grabbed Xu Nian's arm, saying, "Xu Nian, the fox you raised is glaring at me. Look, it looks like it wants to eat me alive."
The little white fox gritted her teeth at such a blatant accusation. Not only did it steal her food, but it also slandered her. She'd better watch out.
Upon hearing Yin Mengmeng's words, Xu Nian abandoned her meditative posture and looked at the little white fox with calm eyes.
