Chapter 391 I'm Actually Ready
Fortunately, thanks to the medicine brought by Xu Qingye, Song Yuntang's treatment went smoothly.
After taking the medicine, the patient who had a high fever gradually had his body temperature drop and his condition was much better than before.
She was busy until the evening before returning home.
Before entering the house, he burned a bunch of mugwort outside. After taking off his coat, he carefully fumigated his body from front to back before entering.
When I opened the door, I saw Xu Qingye sleeping on a recliner by the window, covered with a thin blanket.
Her sleeping face is as peaceful as a porcelain doll.
"You won't catch a cold if you sleep this way."
Song Yuntang took a thicker quilt from the bed and walked over quietly to cover him with it.
The man, who had always been a light sleeper, did not react at all.
Song Yuntang raised his eyebrows and leaned over to take his pulse.
After a moment, his brows relaxed.
That’s not a problem. Could it be that he is too tired from collecting medicinal materials these days?
Well, he had just recovered from his illness not long ago, so it was normal for him to feel tired after such hard work.
Just as he was about to get up to get him something to eat, his hand was wrapped by a big palm as soon as he stood up, and then Song Yuntang fell into the man's arms.
She lay on the man's firm chest and swallowed nervously, feeling that their current posture was somewhat ambiguous.
This man, who usually looked serious and calm, became a different person every time he had physical contact with her, as if he could eat her up.
"Did I just wake you up?"
Xu Qingye shook his head with a lazy look in his eyes, "I woke up when you were fumigating moxa outside the house."
Song Yuntang's cheeks felt hot when the man looked at her, and she avoided Xu Qingye's gaze.
"Are you hungry? Do you want to go get something to eat?"
The man hummed softly.
"I'm a little hungry."
As he spoke, his hand on Song Yuntang's waist slowly tightened.
Noticing the man's eyes and body changes, Song Yuntang's heart was so nervous that it seemed like it was about to jump out, but he also felt inexplicably excited.
Xu Qingye noticed her nervousness, leaned forward and kissed her, then raised his hand to stroke her hair and said in a low voice, "In another three months, Tang'er will be seventeen, right?"
Song Yuntang knew what he was thinking. After being married for so long, it was hard for him to keep enduring for the sake of his health.
"Yes." She turned to look at him, "Xu Qingye, I'm actually ready."
The man raised his lips.
"I see. Are you hungry? Let's go eat first."
Song Yuntang was stunned. Did this man understand what she meant or not?
In the moment she was stunned, the man had already helped her sit up.
Just then, Xia Ning's voice came from outside the house.
"Master, I saw that you hadn't come out of the house for a long time, so I brought the food to you and placed it at the door. Eat it as soon as you are done with your work, otherwise it will get cold."
Immediately afterwards, Song Yuntang heard the sound of something being put down and the sound of footsteps fading away.
She was a little confused. Xia Ning was a skilled kung fu master, and his footsteps were usually so light that they were almost inaudible. Why were his footsteps so heavy now?
Then he thought that Xia Ning had been with a man before, and he might have misunderstood what he and Xu Qingye did in the room.
Just as he was thinking about it, Xu Qingye had already brought in the food from outside.
The porridge was so thin that only a few grains of brown rice could be seen, as well as pickled radish and stir-fried cabbage with almost no oil visible.
There is nothing else.
Xu Qingye looked at her.
"Is this all you eat these days?"
Song Yuntang nodded. She only realized that there was a shortage of medicine and food here when she arrived here in a hurry.
"Qingshi Town is short of supplies. During this period, Master Zhu has been eating the same food as us, so I can only follow the local customs."
The government has already used up all its money to buy medicine, so there is naturally no extra money left to purchase food. The food they are eating now is donated by nearby residents and merchants.
I don’t know when the relief food from the government will arrive.
Xu Qingye handed her a pair of chopsticks.
"Let's just make do with what we have today. I'll go to the mountains tomorrow and see if I can hunt something."
Song Yuntang took the chopsticks.
"You'd better not go. Less trouble is worse than more. These things are not inedible."
Xu Qingye nodded and said nothing more.
When they finished their meal, it was already dark outside.
After being busy all day, Song Yuntang felt a little tired. He washed up and went to bed.
Xu Qingye had slept for the whole afternoon and now he was not sleepy. He took a book, turned on the only dim light in the room and read at the desk.
…
The next morning we had a steamed bread as hard as a rock, a bowl of porridge and some pickles.
Although the food is much worse than usual, it is still slightly better than what Song Yuntang ate when he first came here to the Song family.
Although the steamed bread is hard and hurts the teeth and gets stuck in the throat, at least it can fill the stomach.
But the taste was just like chewing tree bark, it was really disgusting.
It was dry and yellow, as if it were made of rice bran.
Song Yuntang couldn't swallow it anymore, so he only ate half of it. He gave the remaining half to Xu Qingye and took Xia Ning to continue treating the victims.
Xu Qingye bit the steamed bread in his mouth, a thoughtful look flashing in his eyes.
It seems that I still need to get something to eat for the little girl.
The plague will definitely not be resolved in a day or two. If it continues for a long time, her body, which she has worked so hard to restore, will probably be dragged down again.
Thinking of this, he cleaned the table, put on his face towel, found a stick from the yard, and went into the mountains.
When Song Yuntang arrived at the place where the refugees were resettled, Doctor Zhou and Shunzi were already there.
The two had experience in providing free medical treatment to disaster victims in the county clinic. With Shunzi and Xia Ning helping them, they were able to treat patients much faster than the other three doctors.
After working for about half an hour, someone suddenly rushed in from the door.
"Doctor Song, there is a tiger in the mountain today. Two people who went up the mountain to collect herbs were injured by the tiger. The situation is quite serious. Doctor Song, please come with me to take a look."
Human life was at stake, Song Yuntang stood up quickly.
"Xianing, pack up your medicine box and follow me."
Having said that, she lifted her skirt and trotted out of the house.
Although Shunzi wanted to go and take a look, he had to help Doctor Zhou now, so he had to stay.
Song Yuntang followed the villager into the mountain. The two injured people had been carried out of the mountain by nearby officers, soldiers and civilians.
One man's leg was scratched by the tiger's sharp claws. The wound was very deep, and the bright red blood almost dyed the entire trouser leg red. The other man's injury was relatively minor, but he was also holding his arm and grimacing.
Blood was oozing from between fingers from time to time.
Song Yuntang hurried forward and used silver needles and hemostatic drugs to help stop the bleeding. He then cleaned the wound, sprinkled wound medicine that would help the wound heal, and bandaged it. He also prescribed oral medicine to prevent wound infection.
Suddenly I thought of something.
"The tiger was not subdued?"
The person who had just gone to notify Song Yuntang to come over shook his head and said, "When our group arrived, the tiger was scared away and didn't dare to chase it."
Song Yuntang's heart tightened.
"Xia Ning, go back and see if my husband is in the room."
Xia Ning nodded and was about to go back. Someone said, "Is Doctor Song's husband the tall scholar who came yesterday? He seems to have gone into the mountains early in the morning."
