As soon as we found a place, I had Xie Yuancheng lie down and didn't do anything for him; I would do everything for him.
Xie Yuancheng was lying in bed, and with me taking care of him the whole time, he still had unnecessary worries.
"Ying'er, if you keep spoiling me like this, I won't be used to it in the future."
"You're the boss now, don't think about anything else."
I'm just waiting for the traveling doctor to come so that Xie Yuancheng's old ailment can be completely cured.
After eagerly awaiting her return for two days, the wandering doctor finally came back. She had changed her clothes and face, and not only was she no longer lame, but she also walked with great energy and looked very kind.
The traveling doctor came in, and I put Xie Yuancheng's hand down, stood up, and greeted him, "My benefactor has arrived."
"Young lady, you seem to be in good spirits. It seems my medical skills are still quite good; you have no aftereffects."
"It's all thanks to my benefactor. I'll have to trouble you again to help Yuancheng with his treatment."
The traveling doctor looked at Xie Yuancheng lying on the hospital bed and said, "Not bad. If he were in a worse mental state, he probably wouldn't be able to bear the pain."
“Yuancheng has been suffering from old ailments and is also suffering from my torment. It’s already very good that he has this much energy and spirit.”
"Ying'er, you still know you're here to torment me."
"Shut up!"
The traveling doctor laughed, "Alright, you go out and wait. I need to prepare to treat the patient. After it's over, you'll need to take care of him by his bedside for three days. Don't be lazy or complain."
"I won't." Xie Yuancheng took care of me diligently back then, so of course I can too.
"Master's wife, please don't make things difficult for Ying'er."
"Sigh, you silly goose, she's your wife, it's only right that she takes care of you."
“That’s right, Yuancheng, don’t be shy, I can take good care of you.”
Xie Yuancheng closed his eyes. He underestimated me. The traveling doctor told me to go out first; she was about to begin the bone transformation.
"Bone transformation?"
The traveling doctor began administering anesthesia: "Of course it needs to be replaced. One of his bones is necrotic. If it's not replaced, he'll be bedridden for the rest of his life after he turns forty."
I calmed myself down: "Luckily, I was incredibly lucky to run into the shopkeeper and you. It's truly a blessing from heaven."
"Get out of here quickly, the scene is too bloody. If you faint, who will take care of him?"
I nodded, and as soon as I stepped outside, I saw the wandering doctor performing surgery on Xie Yuancheng. A chill ran down my spine, and I hurriedly walked out, not daring to look back.
I squatted at the door and prayed that Xie Yuancheng would suffer less. He had suffered too much over the years, and yet he fell in love with me, the one who caused him so much trouble. He never had a single day of peace.
I don't know how much time had passed, but I could still smell the blood inside. I didn't dare go to the window to look, because I was worried that he might really faint and who would take care of him.
I waited at the door for a short while, and then the traveling doctor came out. I quickly stood up and asked, "My benefactor, has Yuancheng's bone replacement been completed?"
"It's already been changed. I'm cleaning the toxins from his blood and some minor injuries. He's having trouble moving around right now and won't wake up for three days. He'll be back to his usual self in half a day after he wakes up, but you'll have to suffer a bit. Take good care of yourself."
I nodded hastily, "It's nothing." I saw she was carrying a tray stained with blood, "Is this his?"
"Yes, I'm going to destroy it. I just drew the toxins up there, so it can't get out."
Thank you.
I rushed inside and went to Xie Yuancheng's side. He was asleep like a good child, and his face still had a little bit of flesh on it, which felt elastic to the touch.
I wipe his body with a damp cloth every day, just like giving him a bath, but every time I wipe off some loose skin. I'm worried that his body can't handle it, so I asked if anything bad would happen.
The traveling doctor laughed and said his resistance was still good, and told me to remember to wipe his body and that everything would be fine. So I continued to wipe him.
Every day when I go out, I see the shopkeeper and the wandering doctor busy at their workbench. Their fingers are like batteries, never getting tired, and they operate on the keyboard and buttons with effortless grace.
On the third night, I had just finished wiping Xie Yuancheng's body when two people in spacesuits came and said they were moving him to another room.
Fortunately, the room we were moved to was similar to the one the innkeeper had arranged for us. I pushed a sofa and sat down next to Xie Yuancheng's bed, and before I knew it, I had fallen asleep leaning against the bed.
When I woke up, Xie Yuancheng was already awake. "Yuancheng, are you feeling unwell anywhere?"
"have."
Are you hungry or feeling dizzy?
"Neither." He stared straight at me, then pulled me up with his hand: "You're not fully recovered yet, you can't do anything reckless."
"No, my master's wife said she wanted Ying'er to help me. Since you're here after I woke up, let's not waste any more words."
I was truly heartbroken. No wonder the wandering doctor said I would suffer a bit and told me to take care. They're definitely in cahoots. Once I wake up, I'll throw Xie Yuancheng out of the room and make him reflect on his actions for a few days.
"Ying'er, this is your favorite game, I'll play with you." He was full of energy, waving the game in front of me ever since I woke up and ignored him.
"Forget it, you might just cancel my account halfway through playing."
"Impossible, would I do that? Obviously not."
I turned away, determined not to waste any more words with him, but Xie Yuancheng came closer again: "Ying'er, I'll show you a projection of Yu'er so you can meet him."
"I'm sleepy, don't disturb my sleep."
I closed my eyes; I was really sleepy. Once I'm fully alert, I'm going to give Xie Yuancheng a good beating.
"Then I'll lie down with you."
He reached out again, and I slapped him down: "Don't move."
"Waaah, I didn't move around at all. I was just worried you would fall."
I can't be bothered with you.
I closed my eyes and decided to take a nap first. It's really a good thing that Xie Yuancheng no longer has to suffer from his old ailment.
After a day of sleep, I finally felt refreshed and hurriedly went out into the yard, only to find that it was the place I used to live.
"Yuancheng, are we back in the neighborhood?"
"Yes, but the location has changed; only the interior hasn't changed."
I did the math: "We've been here for over a year, and we only have eight months left before we have to go back. Think about what else we need to do."
Xie Yuancheng thought carefully: "I know what I should know and what I shouldn't know. There's nothing I particularly want to do right now."
"Alright then, we'll talk about it when you remember."
"Ying'er isn't angry anymore." Xie Yuancheng sat down next to me and looked at the flowers and plants in the yard with me. "Who was it that said they were going to beat me up in their sleep? Now they're not?"
I leaned against the wooden plank behind me: "I was just saying it back then. I already beat you up in my dream. But if you ever cheat on me, it won't be as simple as just beating you up."
"What does Ying'er want to do?"
I'll kill you.
Xie Yuancheng looked at me and smiled, then leaned closer to my shoulder: "Ying'er won't have that chance anymore."
