Still wanting more
Feeling the even breath falling on her fingertips, Bai Miaoke slowly exhaled, walked to the table to light the candle, and glanced at the old man who was still standing at the door.
The old doctor immediately stepped forward, looked at the man with blood on his chest, and frowned.
"Hurry up and check on my husband. His wound needs to be dressed in a new way to stop the bleeding." Bai Miaoke said.
The old doctor was just about to take the patient's pulse when the man on the bed suddenly opened his eyes and stared at him warily with his sharp eyes, making him feel inexplicably flustered and he unconsciously wanted to escape from the man's sight.
"Who are you?" came the man's slightly hoarse voice.
Before the trembling old doctor could answer, Bai Miaoke pulled his hand with surprise and said, "You're awake. This is the doctor I invited. Let him check your wound."
Seeing Bai Miaoke, the man lying on the bed's expression suddenly relaxed, and he returned to his sickly look, nodding obediently.
The old doctor who was "invited" to the side twitched his lips, and took Bai Miaoke's pulse with trembling hands under Bai Miaoke's urging gaze.
His medical skills were only mediocre. He was usually good at treating minor ailments like headaches and fevers, but this was the first time he had seen such an injury.
I saw him taking the patient's pulse tremblingly for a long time before he stopped. I don't know if he could figure out what was going on. His wrinkled face showed a bit of uneasiness.
"Uh... this gentleman may have a high fever due to excessive blood loss. Uh, he is also a little weak... um... he needs to rest well." He said stutteringly.
The patient himself did not react, but Bai Miaoke frowned: "Are you kidding me? Isn't everything you said nonsense!"
The old doctor waved his hands repeatedly, his back bent even lower, and he stammered, "I didn't mean to do that. It's just that I'm not very skilled, and I can't see much more."
"Why don't you two go to the big clinic in town and have a look?"
"How can he go to town when he's bleeding profusely? Please prescribe two antipyretic medicines first, and then bandage him to stop the bleeding." Bai Miaoke took a deep breath, suppressed her anxiety and said.
"Hey, hey, okay, I'll try some hemostatic medicine first." The old doctor lifted the blood-stained cloth on Lu Yu's chest to reveal the wound inside, and couldn't help but gasp.
The hideous wound was forcibly stitched together with thread, but blood still continued to flow out of the wound, and the large amount of blood was shocking.
He took out some rough medicine powder from the worn-out medicine box and carefully sprinkled it on the bloody wound under the burning gaze of the heroine beside him.
Immediately, the man's body was seen shaking uncontrollably, beads of sweat the size of beans dripped down his forehead, passed through his bulging neck, flowed across his smooth chest, and disappeared into the darkness.
Bai Miaoke couldn't imagine how painful it would be to sprinkle such low-quality medicine powder on the wound, but Lu Yu clenched his teeth and didn't make a sound.
Bai Miaoke couldn't help but hold his hand tightly, gently stroking the protruding blue veins on the back of his hand with some comfort.
After a cup of tea, the old doctor finally finished applying medicine and bandaging. He wiped the sweat from his forehead nervously and looked a little hesitant.
Bai Miaoke took out a piece of silver from her bosom and gave it to him, then said, "Give me some more medicine to reduce the fever."
The old doctor's eyes lit up as he looked at the silver coins in his hand. This was enough for him to see patients for countless times. He did not expect these two nobles with bad tempers to be so generous. He took the silver coins with gratitude and promised: "I will go back and get the medicine for you."
Bai Miaoke nodded and motioned for him to go quickly.
She touched Lu Yu's hot forehead, "It's so hot, how do you feel now?"
"Are you worried about me?" Lu Yu didn't care much about his injury, but was more concerned about Bai Miaoke's attitude towards him.
"Yes, let's go to the town tomorrow. Your injury cannot be delayed." Bai Miaoke didn't notice the slightly raised corners of the man's lips, and was still planning how to treat his injury.
"Okay, I'll listen to you." Lu Yu stared at the woman's opening and closing lips, remembered the soft feeling, and agreed absentmindedly.
Bai Miaoke went to the kitchen again and brought the boiled hot water into the house.
"Do you want to wash yourself or do you want me to help you?" Bai Miaoke asked while holding a towel prepared by Sister Zhang. Her tone was sincere and concerned, and it was hard to tell that she had already stripped the man naked and had her hands on him in her mind.
"I, I can do it myself." Lu Yu spoke a little unsteadily.
Alas, how could the Prime Minister be so innocent! Bai Miaoke sighed in her heart, but still handed the towel over.
Then he stood there waiting for Lu Yu to take action himself.
The man slowly got down from the kang, trying not to notice the burning gaze beside him. He took off his shirt to reveal his upper body, but then his hand was placed on his belt and he hesitated.
"How about you..." He said hesitantly. They hadn't gotten married yet, and he didn't want to offend Bai Miaoke.
"Hahahaha, okay, I'll go to the yard and wait for the doctor to bring the medicine." Bai Miaoke was amused by his appearance, and her laughter echoed in the small room like a silver bell.
Only after she had laughed enough did she push the door open and go out, blocking out the spring light and the sound of water in the house.
She was sitting in the yard listening to the croaking of frogs in the distance. Just as she was feeling bored, she saw the door of the main house creak open and a little head popped out.
It was Erya who came out. She opened her round eyes and looked at Bai Miaoke in the yard.
Bai Miaoke smiled at her gently, then waved for her to come over and play.
The little girl ran over, sat on the stone bench next to Bai Miaoke, and asked in a low voice: "Sister, what are you doing?"
"I'm waiting for the doctor to bring back the medicine."
"Sister, is that big brother hurt?" asked the little girl.
"Yes, he was badly injured."
"Why is he hurt?" Children always have many questions.
Bai Miaoke recalled the scene in the water when Lu Yu held her in his arms and blocked the knife for her, and whispered, "It's for me."
The little girl nodded as if she understood, stretched out her chubby little hand and patted Bai Miaoke on the back: "Don't feel guilty, sister, take the medicine and you will be fine."
Bai Miaoke felt that she was not actually feeling guilty, but a more wonderful feeling was the emotion and surprise of knowing that someone was willing to sacrifice his life for her.
Does he really love her so much? Why does he love her so much? This is the question Bai Miaoke asked herself for the nth time.
The little girl next to her looked at her thinking and whispered, "Sister, you are so beautiful. You are the most beautiful person I have ever seen."
"So do you like my sister?" Bai Miaoke touched her head with a smile, and suddenly thought of a possibility. She was very good-looking, and maybe Lu Yu also liked her face.
"I like it. Sister, can you stay a few more days?" Erya said in a soft voice.
Bai Miaoke came back to her senses, hesitated for a moment and said, "That depends on my husband's health."
Just at this moment, there was a knock on the door, "I'm here to deliver the medicine."
Before Bai Miaoke stood up, Erya trotted over, opened the door, took the medicine, and said thank you crisply.
Erya ran to the kitchen, took out a pottery jar from the corner, and said, "Sister, let me help you boil the medicine."
Bai Miaoke was very surprised. She had never known how to make medicine in her life. "You can make medicine? That's great!"
The little girl deftly put the medicine into the clay pot and gently fanned the fire in the stove with a palm-leaf fan that was bigger than her face.
Bai Miaoke sat down next to her and was amused by her serious look. He picked up the Analects she had read before and asked with a smile: "How about you help me boil the medicine and I read for you?"
"Okay, okay!" Erya said with a smile.
So the sound of Lang Lang reading and the crackling of firewood created a harmonious atmosphere beside the small stove.
The medicine was ready, and Sister Zhang came out to coax Erya to go back to bed. Bai Miaoke took the bowl of black medicine back to her room by herself.
Lu Yu seemed to have finished washing and was lying on the kang with his eyes closed. He was about to sit up when he heard the door open.
Bai Miaoke held the medicine bowl in one hand and supported him with the other, then sat down next to him and naturally touched his still hot forehead.
"Drink the medicine." Bai Miaoke raised the bowl of medicine that smelled very bitter to his lips.
Lu Yu felt delighted by her intimate and natural actions. When he saw the medicine being handed to his mouth, he was moved again and drank a sip of the medicine from her hand.
Cough, cough, cough. He couldn't help coughing for a long time after taking this one sip. The medicine was really bitter and hot.
Bai Miaowei patted his back and said, "This medicine smells bitter. It would be better if you drink it in big gulps."
Lu Yu felt that what she said made some sense. "Let me do it myself." He took the bowl and drank it all in one gulp. He immediately felt his tongue numb. It was too bitter.
Bai Miaoke looked at his frowning brows with amusement, and thought of the time when he insisted on drinking the medicine himself. She felt relieved for some reason, but still took a glass of water for him to rinse his mouth: "I used to eat something sweet after taking medicine, but there is none here, so just drink some water and make do with it."
Seeing her bad intentions, Lu Yu felt helpless and doting, and suddenly had a bold idea.
“Who said there’s nothing sweet here?”
After saying that, he pulled the person into his arms while Bai Miaoke looked puzzled.
When their eyes met, he inquired with his eyes and when he didn't receive a negative answer, he leaned over and kissed the lips he had been thinking about for a long time. He held Bai Miaoke's head with one hand to prevent her from retreating, and the other hand was around her waist, burning hot.
After the initial quick taste, he gradually launched an offensive, aggressively prying open her pearly teeth and conquering her. When their lips and tongues were entangled, Bai Miaoke shuddered at the bitterness in his mouth, and her confused mind gradually returned.
Only then did she realize that he still had such evil intentions and deliberately didn't drink water after taking the medicine to kiss her.
So she turned from passive to active, and her clever tongue made Lu Yu chase her continuously. When he thought he was about to get her, Bai Miaoke bit her.
There was a hint of bright red at the corners of Lu Yu's lips, and he licked his lips with satisfaction. His pale face made the blood beads on his lips more obvious. He was obviously a cold and aloof official, but at this moment he looked a little more evil and charming.
"Are you crazy? Aren't you afraid of tearing the wound again?" After taking revenge, Bai Miaoke pushed the man away. Looking at his unrepentant look, she felt a little annoyed, as if the bite she had made on him was not a punishment or revenge, but a reward for him.
"It's too bitter." Lu Yu lowered his eyes, hiding the turbulent waves in his deep eyes, making himself look pitiful instead.
After a moment's pause, Bai Miaoke realized that he was talking about the bowl of medicine. She tasted it belatedly and found that her mouth was also tainted with bitterness.
She frowned and wanted to say something, but swallowed it back when she saw Lu Yu's broken beauty.
She picked up the glass of lukewarm water, took a sip, and handed it to the man next to her who was thinking about something. She said silently in her heart: He is a wounded soldier, he is a patient, he must put aside all distractions and keep his mind clear!
