Chapter 19 Asking a Doctor
At night, Li Zheng was lying in the car, thinking of Gu Chengze's serious eyes. She knew that he was serious, and she also knew that the ancients took marriage very seriously. It was not like in TV novels where they could treat the wife however they wanted. This was impossible, and it was a union of two families.
Although she had thought about getting married and having children here, she wanted to find someone they both liked, and she couldn't tolerate any sand in her eyes. Although Gu Chengze was a good man, and he could remain calm in such a difficult situation, and he was indeed good-looking and capable, she had never thought of developing a relationship with him like this.
When Gu Chengze heard the sound of someone turning over beside him, a smile appeared in his eyes.
…
The next morning, Li Zheng made pancakes with meat filling and a vegetable soup. Nothing seemed out of place, but Gu Chengze knew Li Zheng was avoiding him. He was serious; they had both seen each other, and he didn't want Li Zheng to be with anyone else. It wasn't about love, it was about responsibility.
"Brother-in-law, don't you want to eat it?" Bao Ge'er looked at Gu Chengze holding the pie but not eating it. Is it not delicious?
Baoger didn't notice anything was wrong, but it startled Li Zheng and Gu Chengze.
"Brother Bao, what did you call him?"
"Brother-in-law, didn't my brother say he wanted to marry you yesterday?" Bao Ge'er knew that if a girl in the village saw someone's body, she had to marry him, otherwise no one would want her. My sister was also seen by my brother yesterday, so he had to marry her. Don't think he doesn't understand because he is young.
"Well, Bao Ge'er, although I haven't married your sister yet, it's not wrong to call her that." Gu Chengze looked at Li Zheng. He also understood her personality a little bit. If he didn't say it, she would definitely pretend that this matter didn't exist.
Li Zheng looked at Gu Chengze without saying anything. Forget it, just let it be. It feels good to be chased by someone anyway.
After dinner, Li Zheng and the others started on their journey again. This time, they could clearly see people on the road staring at them. After all, they looked so clean, so they must have good stuff. However, Li Zheng was not a pushover and she directly drew her knife.
However, this gaze did not last long, because they saw the city gate of Taiyuan Prefecture. When they arrived at the city gate, the soldiers guarding the gate did not let the refugees approach the city gate. If they wanted to enter the city to buy things, they had to pay two taels of silver per person, and they had to come out before closing the city gate. If they did not come out, the patrolling soldiers at night would not show mercy.
When they arrived at the city gate, Li Zheng paid six taels of silver. The soldiers tied black ropes on their arms, and they had to hand it over when they came out, which also reminded the people in the city that they were refugees.
Entering the city gate, Li Zheng was stunned. "Is Taiyuan Prefecture so..." dilapidated? Isn't Taiyuan Prefecture said to be quite prosperous? These crooked, low houses are no different from their place.
Seeing Li Zheng's reaction, Gu Chengze explained, "Actually, most prefectures are like this. Only the houses of the royal family or the wealthy look neat and beautiful. Besides, blue bricks are expensive, so not many people can afford them. It's good enough that the prefecture can use bricks for the city walls."
Well, I guess I've been poisoned by TV dramas. Walking forward, Li Zheng saw a restaurant that looked quite neat, so she went in. It was quite eye-catching when Li Zheng carried Gu Chengze in, since it was rare to see someone with both legs broken. Gu Chengze didn't care about the looks. Li Zheng thought if people around her looked at her like that, she wouldn't be able to handle it. It showed how strong his will was. Let's go to the clinic and see a doctor later.
"Why don't you eat?" He watched Baoger and Gu Chengze eat the rice but didn't take a single bite.
"Sister, Baoger can't eat it." Gu Chengze thought that he had become picky about food due to her cooking skills in the past few days. If he couldn't eat it himself, how could Baoger eat it? Alas, it is difficult to go from extravagance to frugality.
Gu Chengze picked up the bowl and put it directly into his mouth and swallowed it. This was better.
Li Zheng looked at the dishes on the table. There was a meat dish, which smelled fishy even though it was boiled. There was also boiled vegetables, which were a little wilted. Uh, well, she couldn't eat them.
After leaving the restaurant, Li Zheng went straight to the clinic. Gu Chengze looked at the clinic with a somewhat moved expression. Although he had known for a long time that he could not stand up, he still had some hope in his heart. He looked at her again, and did not expect that she still wanted to treat his leg.
The clinic was deserted, with only a doctor sitting there. Seeing someone coming, the doctor said, "Do you want to get medicine or a consultation? A consultation will cost three pounds of food." Although he didn't hold out much hope, thinking it was probably a free consultation, he still said it. After all, he had been out of food for two days, and if he didn't have anything to eat, he would have to sell his ancestral home.
Li Zheng directly took out five kilograms of grain and placed it on the table. "Doctor, can you tell me if his leg can be cured?"
When the doctor saw the grain, his eyes lit up. Now he didn’t have to sell his ancestral home.
"How is it, doctor?" The doctor looked and touched for a long time without saying a word.
The doctor pondered for a long time, "To be honest, this leg must have been twisted off. Although it has been reattached, it is still injured. This leg is not easy to treat, and even if it is treated, the chances of standing up are slim. In addition, my medical skills are limited. If I want to treat it, I have to go to the capital, where there are better doctors."
She was thinking that if the doctors here could cure it, she wouldn't have to treat it herself. If she did, she would be bothered by them again. It seemed that she had to treat it herself.
"Okay, I understand. Thank you, doctor." Then she carried Gu Chengze away.
Li Zheng looked at Gu Chengze's disappointed eyes and hesitated to speak. Bao Ge'er also looked at him nervously.
"It's okay, you don't need to comfort me. I knew it a long time ago, and now I'm just more certain. I just hope I won't be a problem for you in the future."
Seeing him still smiling, Li Zheng felt a little uncomfortable. No one who knew they couldn't stand up would be so calm to accept becoming a disabled person. He must have felt very uncomfortable. Who could have done this? How could they have used such a vicious method?
But it doesn't matter. I can heal him. There's a discontinuity ointment in the space that can heal his legs. I made some myself, enough for him to stand up. And there's also the spiritual spring, so he won't have any sequelae. But since he needs to be treated continuously for seven days, he still needs to find a place to stay. I'd better not tell him yet. I'll tell him once I find a place to stay and give him a surprise.
In the end, Li Zheng bought a pot and a kitchen knife, some ready-made clothes and Gu Chengze's shoes and left the city gate. After all, everything needed in the space was prepared, except that the pot was not enough. If she wanted to cook, she couldn't boil water, and if she boiled water, she couldn't cook. It was better to buy one as a backup. She also bought some clothes and shoes for Gu Chengze. He hadn't worn shoes these days, and he didn't have to walk anyway.
