Chapter 229 "What did you just say?"
Wen Yu saw that Yu Chang's eyes were indifferent, staring at her without saying a word. She thought that he also agreed with her statement in his heart, so she stopped worrying about it and changed the subject.
"But then again, we're busy with the autumn harvest right now, so who would want to come and see a doctor?"
She leaned casually against the porch pillar, looking up at the golden rays of light filtering through the gaps in the thatch.
The warm orange color is just like ripe rice ears.
In fact, Yu Chang is not the only one who has changed.
Since she came down to the mortal world, from the time she first entered the mortal world to now, several months have passed, hasn't she already changed a lot?
Otherwise, she wouldn't know why no one came to see the doctor at this moment.
"Why?" Yu Chang turned away, gazing at the paddy fields on both sides of the Yuan River. "Are mortals less likely to get sick at this time of year?"
"How could that be? People eat grains, so how can we expect illness to be seasonal?" Wen Yu shook his head, sighing through his drawn-out tone. "I guess they're all busy in the fields. Even if they're sick or in pain, they'll just endure it."
"Hmm." Yu Chang gazed at the kite still soaring high in the sky. "Perhaps it's to support the elderly, to raise children, to allow the kite to fly freely and higher..."
"That's right." Wen Yu tilted her head, the top of her hair sticking to the porch pillar. "But Yu Chang, you recognize kites now, don't you?"
When he first arrived at Guanwuyuan, Yu Chang always held the book in his arms, reading it while eating and sleeping. She guessed that he was studying the civilization of human society.
Just like she did at the beginning.
Now it seems that not only have we achieved some results, but we have also gained a lot.
"Xiyan told me about it," Yu Chang replied calmly, completely ignoring the teasing in Wen Yu's words, "so I wrote it down."
With a "puff" sound, Wen Yu immediately sat up straight, no longer leaning against the pillar as lazily as before, as if he had suddenly come to life.
But in a moment, as if he felt that he was laughing too wildly, Wen Yu immediately covered his mouth and nose with his hands and spoke in a muffled voice.
"Now all you talk about is washing the inkstone."
Wen Yu shrank her neck, and it was obvious that she was afraid of angering Yu Chang, but she was unwilling to miss this good opportunity to tease him.
"It's worth it that I went out to wash the inkstone this morning and insisted on waiting for you."
Seeing that Yu Chang frowned and said nothing, but turned his head to stare at her from a distance without any anger on his face, Wen Yu's courage grew.
"But sister, I think Xiyan's warmth towards you is more than just ordinary."
Wen Yu hugged her knees tightly to prevent her shoulders from shaking from laughing.
"If you really owe a debt of love to a mortal, sister, I wonder how you'll repay it."
Having said that, Wen Yu was mostly joking and was not entirely sure.
After all, Xiyan didn't do anything out of the ordinary. He was just being considerate and caring towards Yu Chang. Given Xiyan's thoughtful nature, it's not surprising.
But she would never say this to Yu Changming. She just wanted to tease him. Wouldn't it be boring if she told him the truth?
Yu Chang didn't even raise his eyebrows, his face was as frosty as an iceberg that had been there for thousands of years and refused to melt at all, only when Wen Yu finished speaking did his expression relax slightly.
"If that's the case, then it's all thanks to you."
He glanced at the herbs on the shelf, and after confirming that they were all in order, he turned to face Wen Yu in the corridor.
The gloating expression on the latter's face turned into panic and confusion almost the moment he opened his mouth.
"What does it have to do with me?" Wen Yu sat up straight, changing his casual attitude from kneeling just now. "Stop slandering me here."
Yu Chang flicked his fingers, brushed his sleeves lightly, shook off the dust and residue from the medicine on his clothes, and then walked towards Wen Yu.
Until Yu Chang stopped and stood still, Wen Yu straightened his back, with a sense of confusion mixed with a hint of urgency and awkwardness, and his previous arrogance was gone.
After all... a husband who can bend and stretch is a husband. Wen Yu shrank her neck, "You, what are you doing..."
Yu Chang did not answer, but just looked down silently at Wen Yu who was looking up at him, as if he was admiring the prey he had forced into a corner.
I was determined to get it, so I was not in a hurry to eat it.
After a moment, Yu Chang raised his sleeve, turned his wrist, and tapped the corridor column twice with his knuckles.
The aura around him changed in response, and his plain white clothes turned into dark gold in the blink of an eye. His soft and beautiful eyebrows and eyes immediately became sharp, no longer having the delicate and bright beauty of a woman.
Instead, there was the aggression unique to men and the overwhelmingly strong pressure.
“Yu Chang——” Wen Yu’s heart skipped a beat, as if she was suffocating for a moment, “You!”
Seeing Yu Chang turning back into a man, Wen Yu was really caught off guard. For a moment, she didn't know how to react except to exclaim in surprise.
"Then when you return home tonight, explain to everyone at the dinner table how your sister became your brother."
Yu Chang's voice was light and cold, but the rising ending tone made it easy to hear that he was in a good mood with a hint of playfulness at the moment.
He originally wanted to prevent the people in Guanwuyuan from knowing his true identity and did not want to put Wen Yu in a difficult position.
But now that some people say it has nothing to do with her, he naturally doesn't need to hide it anymore.
Yu Chang lowered his eyelashes and turned his eyes, hiding a slight smile behind the overlapping dim light, and still looked at Wen Yu indifferently.
The latter couldn't help but touch the tip of his nose, looking guilty.
Although Wen Yu was made of wood, she did not have a wooden head, so she could clearly hear Yu Chang's teasing.
Seeing Yu Chang's lips moving slightly, it seemed as if he wanted to say something——
"Yu Chang!" Wen Yu stood up and covered Yu Chang's mouth and nose with her hands in panic, "Shut up! Change back to me! Give me back my sister!!"
A warm breath passed through Wen Yu's fingers, and she seemed to hear Yu Chang chuckle.
"Didn't you say it has nothing to do with you?" Yu Chang said coldly.
Wen Yu's face was unhappy, and she felt the strength in her back teeth. She bit each word and said, "Yu, Chang!"
Yu Chang stood up straight and leaned back, completely ignoring Wen Yu who was making a fuss in front of him.
He was tall, and Wen Yu couldn't really cover him or do anything to him.
Putting Wen Yu's muttering behind him, Yu Chang turned around and walked back to the courtyard.
He transformed into a woman's body originally just for convenience, but later when he met Wen Yu, he wanted to stay with Wen Yu in this identity, perhaps it was a good opportunity.
But the woman had been dressing up for so long that he could hardly remember her original features and appearance.
Strands of golden light shone on his face, but his high nose blocked the light, leaving a small shadow on the other side.
"Yu Chang? Yu Chang?" Wen Yu hurriedly got up and chased after Yu Chang, calling his name while walking into the yard.
Yu Chang said nothing, but turned around thoughtfully and looked at the fields in the distance.
The lush green mountains and the golden rice fields complement each other, clouds pass through the peaks, dragonflies flutter their wings among the rice paddies, and people hunch over as they cut rice, looking bustling with activity but unable to conceal their joy.
Song Linsheng looked at the endless rice fields in front of him, and his chest was filled with infinite hope.
He turned around and continued walking on the embankment, with the newly opened factory and the yamen runners doing their jobs on his side. Xiyan followed behind Song Linsheng, holding a thick account book and counting the consumables on site.
The rich fragrance of mud mixed with the sweet smell after the rain broke out of the ground under the evaporation of the sun and filled everyone's nose.
Song Linsheng lifted up his clothes and walked slowly on the slippery river bank. He did not forget Mu Tong's instructions, so he was too careful that a thin layer of sweat seeped out of his forehead.
"Sir." Xiyan's brows relaxed, and he seemed very relaxed. He nodded repeatedly and called out, "There's nothing serious wrong here. Sir, don't worry."
When Xiyan was outside, he always called his master "Sir", and Song Linsheng had long been accustomed to it.
So when he heard the sound of washing the inkstone, Song Linsheng didn't turn around, but only replied affirmatively: "Yes, hand over the account book to me for re-checking."
"Okay, sir." Xi Yan closed the account book with one hand, picked up the hem of his clothes and hurried to his master's side. "Here you go."
Song Linsheng naturally lowered his head to take it. The two of them had just exchanged the account book. Before he could look up, he heard Xiyan exclaim—
"Sir! Look!"
"Hmm?" Song Linsheng looked in the direction Xi Yan pointed and replied with a faint smile, "It's a kite."
"Yes!" Xi Yan's eyes lit up instantly, and then he moved closer to Song Linsheng's side, "Today is a cool autumn day, it is indeed the best time to fly kites——"
Song Linsheng held the account book in one hand and turned the pages with the other. When he heard Xiyan's words, he laughed.
"Okay, after we're done with this." Song Linsheng shook his head, seemingly helpless, yet also looking forward to even greater joy. "Let's go back and find Xiaoyu to fly kites together."
"Ah?" Xi Yan's originally curved eyebrows drooped for a moment, and he didn't care about the address. "Sir... is there only Madam Wen?"
Upon hearing this, Song Linsheng turned to look at Xi Yan, the smile in his eyes almost overflowing, "Of course... and Miss Ying Ying."
He imitated Xiyan and dragged out his words, making the sentence take several turns, which made Xiyan feel very nervous.
"Okay, sir!" Xi Yan immediately agreed with a smile, as if afraid that Song Linsheng would regret it. "Then later I..."
As he spoke, Xiyan turned his gaze towards the kite soaring into the sky. Just as he was about to continue, his expression changed drastically.
"Young Master! Young Master!"
The sky is vast and the autumn wind is bleak. Occasionally, when a flock of geese flies by, the rhythmic sound of their wings flapping in unison can be heard.
Wen Yu held her arms across her chest and lay on her back in the corridor in a relaxed position.
The sunlight shone down obliquely from the edge of the eaves, casting a golden halo over half of her body, while the other half was huddled in shadow.
She occupies the murky in-between, separating light from shadow.
Yu Chang stood in front of the medicine shelf with his hands behind his back, examining the moldy residue mixed in with extremely focused eyebrows. He looked more like the owner of this medical clinic than Wen Yu.
Wen Yu raised her sleeve to cover her forehead to block the bright light that was blinding her eyes.
After playing around with Yu Chang for a while, Wen Yu felt exhausted and wanted to just take a nap in the corridor with the sky as a blanket and the ground as a bed.
When she opened her eyes again, it was Song Linsheng who had finished his official business and called her home for dinner.
Thinking of this, Wen Yu closed his eyes with satisfaction. If only it were true.
There was no one to see patients in the clinic today, so she was happy to have some free time.
The wind is silent and the birds are singing sparsely.
In my ears, I could hear the rustling sound of Yu Chang turning over the medicinal herbs, mixed with the rustling sound of leaves. The thatched roof was warmed by the sunlight, and a faint fragrance emanated from it.
In the silence, Yu Chang suddenly asked in a deep voice.
"What did you say?"
