Chapter 227 "It has nothing to do with me."...
The fact that Wen Yu was practicing medicine in the clinic on the banks of Yuanshui River had long been spread among the villagers and common people, and Mu Tong naturally knew it very well.
But he never said he was feeling depressed before, but early this morning he seemed to be feeling depressed.
Song Linsheng's expression remained unchanged, his eyes turned slightly, and he glanced at Mu Tong inconspicuously. His plan was disrupted by Mu Tong's few words, and he didn't know who was really upset at the moment.
"Of course." Wen Yu's brows knitted together, his expression focused. "How about Master Mu, come with me to the infirmary to rest for a while, and I'll take your pulse?"
Song Linsheng closed his eyes, feeling the unconcealable turmoil in his heart.
Xiaoyu is a kind-hearted doctor, so she will naturally not sit idly by. It is normal for her to give such an answer.
But he didn't know when Master Mu...
"Lord Mu, you came to see me, but do you have something to do?" Song Linsheng spoke gently, turning slightly to look at Mu Tong on the side.
"Sir Song, it won't be too late to handle official business after I finish seeing the patient and prescribing medicine." Mu Tong smiled and pushed back Song Linsheng's words with a touch of his upper and lower lips.
Anyway, he had just waited for Lord Song for a long time, so it would not be too much to ask Lord Song to wait for him for a while now.
Wen Yu's eyes moved between the two of them, and she decided to put away the house deeds and land deeds in her hands first. She lowered her eyes, sorted them out, and put them into her sleeve, like a little squirrel storing fruits for the winter.
Song Linsheng and Mu Tong saw Wen Yu's actions and watched intently, no one made a sound to disturb her.
But this moment of peace did not last long, as the arrival of another person broke it.
"Master Song, Master Mu, why are you two wasting time here? It's so hard for me to find you."
Wen Yu rolled up his sleeves and looked up, and the person who came was Chen Mian.
She only knew that the construction work was very busy and most of the staff in the government office had been transferred to the Yuanshui River.
But I didn’t expect Chen Mian to be among them.
"What happened?" Song Linsheng frowned and asked seriously.
Chen Mian had been walking hurriedly, and now he suddenly stopped, slightly out of breath. He brushed his forehead with one hand and quickly replied, "Master Song, it's not a big deal. I just received a new batch of stone today, and I'd like Master Mu to take a look."
As he said this, Chen Mian turned to face Mu Tong, as if waiting for him to make a decision.
"Are you going now?" Mu Tong seemed surprised, as if he hadn't expected it. "Why are you in such a hurry?"
"That's right, otherwise I wouldn't have rushed to find you, sir." Chen Mian explained, the situation seemed to be non-negotiable. "The stone materials need to be inspected urgently, so we can't wait."
Mu Tong understood clearly, and he obviously knew the urgency of what Chen Mian said, but he still did not agree immediately. He turned to look at Song Linsheng with some embarrassment.
"Sir Song, if that's the case, I can't accompany you to patrol the fortifications..."
Song Linsheng nodded and answered affirmatively: "No problem, Master Mu, you can go ahead, I will go on patrol myself."
"But you are not familiar with the newly opened factory. If I am not by your side, I am afraid..." Mu Tong looked hesitant and seemed quite conflicted.
Song Linsheng understood in his heart that Mu Tong meant that he had been on vacation at home these days and probably didn't know much about the newly opened factory.
"I've personally arranged and supervised the previous workshops, so I think this new one shouldn't be difficult to get started with." Song Linsheng shook his head, signaling Mu Tong to relax. "Master Mu, rest assured, just follow Chen Mian."
Mu Tong's brows relaxed, and after some hesitation he finally agreed. "Then be careful, sir. It rained continuously in the past few days, and the embankment is wet and slippery. Please watch your step."
"Yeah." Song Linsheng nodded.
After getting approval, Mu Tong and Chen Mian had a quick conversation and turned to leave.
The situation changed so quickly that Wen Yu was unable to adapt for a while.
"Hey——" Wen Yu couldn't help but open his mouth in panic, "Master Mu..."
She knew that the dam construction schedule was tight and the many complicated matters that came with it were numerous, but she didn't expect that Lord Mu would be so decisive and disregard himself when he got busy.
"Madam Wen, please wait a moment." Mu Tong turned around and smiled easily, shrugging his shoulders helplessly. "Once I finish the things at hand, I will definitely go to Madam Wen's medical room for a consultation."
Her flying hairband brushed across the bridge of his nose, forcing him to use two fingers to pry it aside, which gave her an indescribable elegance and grace.
"It's better not to forget everything once you get busy." Wen Yu watched Mu Tong and Chen Mian walk away, then turned around and clapped his hands at Song Linsheng. "Okay, Master Song, shall we get started?"
"What Doctor Wen said is true." Song Linsheng pinched Wen Yu's hand with two fingers and pressed it down. "The sooner we start work, the sooner we can finish it."
His words were brief but his meaning was profound, which made Wen Yu, who had not thought much about it, frown and think for a moment, but in a moment she suddenly understood.
What to do if you finish work early?
She had not yet forgotten what she had just said to Song Linsheng, that she would finish work early and go home to say what she had not finished.
For some reason, Wen Yu's face felt hot.
Following the direction of the wind, the dryness and stuffiness of autumn all pressed against her cheeks, and she couldn't get rid of them no matter what.
Wen Yu's eyes flickered left and right, and she immediately turned away, facing away from Song Linsheng, and hurriedly replied, "Then I, then I'll go first!"
Song Linsheng had an innocent look on his face, his eyes were clear, but as Wen Yu's hands and feet moved in a panic, the corners of his lips curled up slightly, as if he could no longer hide it.
He had looked at Xiaoyu's figure like this many times.
But every time, Xiaoyu's steps seemed to be faster than before. Could this mean that, beyond what people can see, some invisible things or feelings have become clearer?
The smile on Song Linsheng's lips deepened, but it disappeared in a flash after Wen Yu paused. However, in the blink of an eye, he returned to his previous innocent and pure state.
"Xiaoyu?" Song Linsheng called softly.
"Hmm..." Wen Yu stopped but did not turn around, "Um..."
With his hands folded in front of him, Wen Yu's fingertips kept twisting his cuffs. After a lot of struggle, he actually took a few steps back.
"Is it really okay for you to go alone?"
He almost lost his mind just now, and it was not until he walked some distance away that Wen Yu suddenly remembered.
Since Lord Mu said it was a newly opened factory, could Song Linsheng handle it on his own?
But even though she said this, she didn't dare turn around to look into Song Linsheng's eyes. She just stood there with her back stiff, and asked blankly.
"Don't worry, Xiaoyu, I'm just taking a few days off." Song Linsheng comforted her softly, "I'm used to doing these things, so I can still handle them."
After saying this, Song Linsheng's eyes flickered, and he took a step forward closer to Wen Yu. "Or...Xiaoyu doesn't want to be a doctor today, but wants to be...my supervisor?"
The river breeze blew on Wen Yu's cheeks with endless heat and humidity. The sticky feeling became more and more obvious, making her feel at a loss.
"No! No, no, no!" Wen Yu suddenly raised his head, stiffened his neck and shook his head, "I, I'm leaving first! Sister Yingying is still waiting for me!"
For some reason, she felt a slight tingling sensation spreading from the back of her neck throughout her body, causing her to shiver in the lingering heat of summer.
After saying this, Wen Yu actually started walking away. She was afraid that if she was a step slower, she would reveal her flaws.
As she ran as if escaping, she was thinking to herself that if she let Song Linsheng supervise the work by himself, there shouldn't be any problem.
Recently, with the guidance of Sister Shen Chuo, Song Linsheng's swimming skills have improved greatly.
Although the factory is on the bank of the Yuanshui River, it is still some distance away. Although Song Linsheng is traveling alone, there is no danger as long as he does not step into the water.
Thinking of this, Wen Yu put his anxious heart back into his stomach and quickened his pace towards the doctor's room.
Song Linsheng's originally gentle smile became a little stiff. Looking at Wen Yu's hurriedly leaving figure, he was absent-minded for a moment.
It's Ying Ying again... Sister...
It was like a blunt knife rubbing back and forth on his heart, cutting into it and causing him pain.
But in a flash, Song Linsheng seemed to have coaxed herself back, and the tenderness on his lips almost overflowed.
Perhaps, after returning home and talking to Xiaoyu tonight, she will never mention Sister Yingying again?
He was still thinking, almost immersed in it, and turned around and headed towards the workshop, not even noticing the people washing inkstones chasing him and calling out to him.
The night sky is long, and the Yuan River is green.
At the medical clinic, Yu Chang was still busy with medicinal herbs in the yard as usual.
It rained a lot in the past few days, and these medicinal herbs have become damp to some extent. Today is a rare cool day, so he will turn them out and dry them out.
I just don't know when he will stop working for Wen Yu here for free.
Even if there is no end, he only hopes that...she can remember even a little bit...
Yu Chang's thick brows were tightly furrowed, and his calm face was like a pool of dark well water. It seemed tranquil and deep, but it was impossible to see the turbulence and churning underneath.
After a moment's silence, Yu Chang's tense fingertips finally relaxed, and he began to carefully turn over the herbs in the winnowing basket so that every one of them could receive the full sunlight.
He liked this warm day very much, and hoped that the herbs would like it too.
While he was doing this, Yu Chang unknowingly fell into deep thought again, unable to extricate himself.
I don't know what she could say for so long...
Should he use some magical power to find out? But she seemed to dislike him doing so.
When Wen Yu stepped into the courtyard of the medical hut, this was the scene she saw—
Yu Chang fiddled with the herbs with his fingertips slightly numbly, his drooping eyelashes hiding the emotions in his eyes, making it impossible to peek in.
"Sister Yingying——" Wen Yu dragged out the last syllable and called out loudly.
But she knew that a ferocious beast needed to be stroked by the gentle touch of its fur, so when it raised its eyes to look at her, she quickly called out politely, "Yu Chang."
The woman in front of me was wearing a green dress and white skirt, which was a unique bright color in the autumn sky.
At that time, she was also wearing the same color, squatting on the bank of the Yuan River, fiddling with the water plants on the shore, and seemed to be very distressed when she spoke to him who had just learned to emerge from the water.
Yu Chang's eyes flickered, and the moment of distraction disappeared in an instant. When he raised his eyes again, he was as calm and composed as usual.
"You're here."
"Hmm..." Wen Yu walked quickly into the courtyard, nodding as she responded, "Why don't you ask Sister Chen Chuo if they've gone far?"
After all, Lord Mu asked these questions as soon as he arrived, but why did Yu Chang seem to be indifferent and unconcerned?
Wen Yu imitated Yu Chang and spread out another basket of medicinal herbs. His hands kept moving, and his eyes turned to Yu Chang, waiting for his answer.
"It's none of my business."
Yu Chang's answer was straightforward and clear, without any concealment, and his genuine attitude made Wen Yu gasp in amazement.
"That's true..." Wen Yu paused, then continued to select herbs, "But what you said is too..."
