Chapter 064
"Sister Mei, is the surgery at the Yaken clinic finished? If it is, please ask him to come over and prescribe some medicine for him."
After the operation was over, Qingxi let out a long sigh and said to the people around him.
As a half-baked doctor, she never took on tasks like prescribing medicine for patients.
Although she knew a lot of medicinal herbs because of brewing wine, she knew more about the herbs from the food world. In other words, after staying in the food world for too long, she was not familiar with the medicinal herbs from a normal world without magic.
So, everyone has their own expertise. If she doesn't understand something, she will step back. If others do understand something, then let them do it.
"Leave it to me, General."
Without waiting for Mei to speak, Yagen Toushirou, who was walking towards them, pulled the black leather gloves on his hands and said.
"Then I'll leave this to you, Yaoyan." Qingxi said as he jumped off the small stool.
"Be careful, General," Yagen Toushirou supported the man who had his feet on the ground and was still able to rush forward.
Qingxi waved her hand and said, "I'm fine. My feet are just numb from standing for so long. I'll be fine after a while."
"General." Yagen Toushirou spoke.
"Hmm?" Qingxi made a nasal sound.
"It's almost noon, shouldn't you go cook?" he reminded.
Qingxi: “…”
Qingxi looked down at his bloody hands, then looked up at Yagen Toushirou who had already started examining the postoperative patient and preparing medicine. Finally, he turned and left without saying anything.
Where is Tsurumaru? Where is Tsurumaru Kuninaga?
Send some handymen to help her.
Uzui Tengen looked at the girl running out in a hurry and labeled her as "taking the backdoor" but crossed it out himself. Then he labeled her as "really useful" again.
She can save people and cook. If you judge her by the standards of a wife, she is already pretty good.
Qingxi, who had no idea that she was being criticized from head to toe, left the ward, but turned back because she met an acquaintance.
"Sister Kanae, have you become a ghost hunter? When did this happen? You didn't even send me a letter." Qingxi complained as she watched Kanae Kocho having her wound treated by the doctor.
To be honest, if possible, she hopes to replace the letter from Zenitsu Agatsuma with one from the Butterfly Sisters.
Rather than imagining how she would get married and what her married life would be like, she would rather chat with the Butterfly Sisters.
Even if there is nothing to talk about...
"I'm sorry, I'm sorry. I didn't write to Aki because I wanted to learn the breathing technique quickly and participate in the Demon Slayer Corps selection. I'm really sorry." Kanae Kocho apologized with a smile on her face, and it seemed that she was not sincere at all.
Qingxi snorted inwardly, "I haven't received a single letter from Sister Shinobu either."
"Perhaps Shinobu has the same idea as me."
Qingxi: "...You two really are a pair of good (emphasis) sisters."
"What about Sister Shinobu? Did she also pass the selection for the Demon Slayer Corps?" Letting go of Kanae Kocho, she changed the subject and asked.
"No, Shinobu wasn't selected this year. She'll probably need to be trained for a while longer by her trainer," said Kocho Kanae. "After all, Shinobu is still very young, and her strength is limited. If she can't even chop off a demon's head, how could her trainer allow her to participate in the Demon Slayer Corps selection?"
Kanae Kocho had no pressure in doing things like teasing her own sister, and Kiyoki, who had known about her habit for a long time, just listened to it. As for Shinobu Kocho who was being teased, she would definitely be furious if she were here, but, isn't she not here now?
The two of them just talked about it.
Qingxi looked around and bared her teeth. Seeing that Butterfly Kanae had some injuries on her body and it was not suitable for her to take off her clothes here, she said, "How about, Sister Kanae, you go to my dormitory. The beds here are full of men, and it may not be suitable for you to be here."
Butterfly Chanehui also looked around, and she didn't refuse, "Then I'm sorry to bother you."
With the help of Koharu Aya and Xiaohui, Kocho Kanae got off the bed. Qingxi pointed at herself and said, "I have something to do here, so I won't go up for now. Take the mattress, quilt and other things from the box here. I'll bring you lunch later."
After a brief explanation, Qingxi accompanied the three of them out of the ward again, and only separated from them when they reached the stairs.
Qingxi did not go directly to the crow house, but went to the well to clean herself up first. Finally, she took off her bloodstained uniform skirt and threw it into the wooden basin, poured some soap pod powder into it, and let it soak first.
Soap pod powder, capture level 0, artificially cultivated, the beans themselves cannot be eaten, but they have a strong stain removal effect and are the raw material for making various soaps.
Because it is so cheap that you can pick up a lot of it in the wild, when she goes to the world of food, in order to save money, she doesn't buy the laundry detergent needed for washing clothes.
You can take a walk in the wild where there is no danger and collect three to five kilograms. After drying them, grind them into powder and store them for use.
Last but not least, soap pod powder is very durable. You only need to pinch a little bit and it will produce a lot of soap bubbles when it comes into contact with water.
She estimated that by the time she went to the crow house to prepare lunch for the crows over there, the blood stains on the uniform skirt soaked in water would have been removed, and then she would just need to change to clean water and wash it.
At noon, Qingxi finished her own meal before bringing Kocho Kanae's portion to her dormitory on the second floor. After she finished eating, she took the empty bowl away and washed it.
The temperature was very high at noon, and the hydrangeas that were blooming in the yard were all wilted like dehydrated cabbages. She stood in the shade and watched for a while, but she couldn't stand it anymore and was ready to find a cooler place to escape the heat and take a nap.
But just as she was about to turn around, she was distracted by a figure that suddenly appeared at the door of the clinic and ran inside quickly.
By the time she realized what was happening, he had already run out into the scorching sun. "What's wrong? What's wrong? Were you beaten by Mr. Purgatory again?"
Qingxi took Rengoku Kyojuro's hand and looked towards the door. After making sure that Rengoku Kyojuro did not come to kill her, she quickly took her to the dormitory. Well, she turned and went to the crow house.
"Aki, I bought some ice cream, let's eat it together." Rengoku Kyojuro was in a good mood and handed her an ice cream that had melted a little in his hand.
"Your face has been beaten like a pig's head, why can you still smile?" Qingxi complained as he took the ice cream handed to him and stuffed it into his mouth.
The taste of the ice cream is average, just an ordinary sugar popsicle. And because sugar is very expensive at this time, the people who make this kind of popsicle are reluctant to put too much sugar in it. At most, people can taste that it is sweet, and there is no more flavor.
But Qingxi was not picky, and while eating, she said to him, "It's delicious."
Rengoku Kyojuro, who was also eating a popsicle, gave her a sunny smile in return.
Qingxi: “…”
Qingxi silently withdrew his gaze.
She still said the same thing, her face was swollen like a pig's head, no matter how sunny her smile was, it was still... ugly!!!
"Tell me, why did you cross Mr. Purgatory's limit this time?"
Sitting in the room on Tsurumaru Kuninaga's side of the crow house, Qingxi asked with the small stick of popsicle left in her mouth after she had chewed it into pieces and swallowed it in a few bites.
"Hmm, nothing much. I just repeated to father what you said to me last time, Aki." Because his face was so painful that he couldn't eat ice cream as readily as Kiyoki, Rengoku Kyojuro spoke vaguely while humming.
"What?" Qingxi thought there was something wrong with her ears and she had heard it wrong, but when she heard what the other person said again, she was completely stunned.
After a while, she stammered, "Kyojuro, you're usually very well behaved, why are you so stubborn this time?"
If she were Mr. Purgatory, she would beat him up too.
Which father would want his darkest side to be known to others, and to be secretly talked about and judged behind his back?
That is no longer a matter of shame and personal disgrace, it is a matter that can be elevated to the level of losing face for the family and bringing disgrace to the family. What's more, Mr. Rengoku is currently the highest-level combatant in the Demon Slayer Corps, the Flame Pillar.
If this kind of thing gets out, how can Mr. Purgatory survive?
To be honest, she felt that Mr. Purgatory's beating was not too lenient.
No, wait, shouldn't she be worrying about herself right now?
As the one who heard the "secret" of the current head of the Purgatory family, would she be murdered when no one is around?
Or, should she contact the lord now and ask to move to the headquarters for a while to take shelter?
However, doing so would make it easier for her to run into Mr. Purgatory. On the other hand, the clinic only saw him two or three times a year. If she could avoid him, she could save herself from those two or three times...
Emmmm, Kyojuro, you really hurt me this time!!!
Rengoku Kyojuro, who had no ability to read minds and whose eyes were swollen like walnuts from being punched, didn't see the deep resentment on Qingxi's face. He scratched his head and said a little embarrassedly, "Because I haven't figured out how to persuade my father yet."
"So you told Mr. Purgatory everything I said to you!!!" Qingxi said angrily. "Mr. Purgatory will definitely think that what I said was a provocation to him."
"I just think what you said is right, Aki..." Rengoku Kyojuro said sheepishly. "I thought father would cheer up after hearing this."
"The result is that your face, which was almost healed from the swelling here at my place, was beaten into a pig's head again." She stretched out a finger in annoyance and poked his bruised forehead.
"It hurts, it hurts."
Rengoku Kyojuro cried out in pain for a while, and two tears came out from the corners of his eyes.
After the pain subsided, he said, "I'm actually fine. I only have some minor injuries. And then my mother came over—" His voice hitched. "After rescuing me, she got really angry at my father."
"...Father, he..." Rengoku Kyojuro said, "Mother was so full of energy at that time that it startled Chijuro and me."
And my father, although he is the Flame Pillar, is afraid... timid towards such a mother, just like how Senjuro would shrink in fear when he scolded me.
However, in order to maintain the image of my father, it would be better not to tell others about this kind of thing.
But Qingxi understood.
She suddenly lunged at Rengoku Kyojuro, who was startled and reached out to catch her with his popsicle in his mouth. Before he could ask, Qingxi preemptively asked, "Kyojuro, Kyojuro, let me ask you, was Mrs. Ruka present when you said what I said to Mr. Rengoku?"
As the girl spoke, her blue eyes grew brighter, like two captivating blue gems that made it impossible to look away. Rengoku Kyojuro shook his head blankly. "Mother was the one Chijuro secretly went to call over later."
Qingxi breathed a sigh of relief and felt at ease.
That’s enough, she finally doesn’t have to worry anymore, because she has found Mr. Purgatory’s weakness - he is afraid of his wife.
This is a good habit, so please keep it up.
Qingxi breathed a sigh of relief, patting Rengoku Kyojuro's hand that was holding her, and asked, "Did you enjoy your popsicle? I'll give you some aloe vera gel."
Rengoku Kyojuro loosened his grip and removed the stick from his mouth. He hesitated and said, "But, is this okay? Also, isn't it a bit inappropriate for us to run into Mr. Tsurumaru's resting room without even saying hello to him?"
Qingxi waved his hands, "It's okay, it's okay, Tsurumaru is easy to talk to.
Besides, we are just borrowing his place and won’t touch his things in the house.”
"Hurry up and lie down. Don't you feel the pain in your face?" Qingxi urged, patting the tatami.
Rengoku Kyojuro, whose face hurt, lay down silently.
Qingxi's hands were very fast, and in a short while, a thick layer of doctor's aloe vera gel that could reduce swelling, dissipate blood stasis and moisturize was applied on Rengoku Kyojuro's face.
It was quite comfortable, but it was applied too thickly, which made him always want to raise his hand to wipe his face.
After treating the wound on his face, Qingxi grabbed one of his arms, rolled up his clothes and checked the wound on his arm. Seeing the bruises, she took out some wine and poured some into her palm. Then she said, "It hurts a little, bear with it," and started rubbing his arm.
The sudden pain made Rengoku Kyojuro grimace for a while. Worried that the doctor's aloe vera gel would get into his eyes, he simply closed his eyes.
After she finished rubbing one arm and the bruises on it were all rubbed away, she switched to the other one and continued rubbing.
"When you get back, Kyojuro, you should tell Mr. Rengoku not to hit you in the face next time. If you go out with a face like that, the neighbors will think something happened to you."
She couldn't say anything about other people, but Mr. Purgatory could definitely not escape the label of a domestic violence man.
"Hmm, I understand." Rengoku Kyojuro said in pain with little energy.
Qingxi felt sorry for him when he looked at his miserable appearance, but——
Patting his shoulder gently, she said, "Sit up and take off your clothes."
Rengoku Kyojuro sat up as the girl asked and opened his eyes in shock. However, before he could look at the girl, the doctor's aloe vera gel got into his eyes, so he quickly closed his eyes again.
"I can take care of the bruises myself when I get back." He stuttered.
What to do if a little boy is shy?
Qingxi stood up and said, "How are you going to treat the injury on your back? Wait here for a moment, I'll go find Tsurumaru to help you push it."
