Chapter 67 Dark Clouds



It seems that the water bandit issue has indeed been resolved, and there are more people coming and going in the town today.

Meiberry followed her father to buy related items. Passing by Jishi Hall, Meiberry first discovered that there was no one in the medical center today except for a little medicine boy who was taking medicine.

After buying the ingredients for making some kimchi, Meiberry and her father rented a shop next door that sold earthen pots and utensils to buy jars for kimchi.

"Doctor Xue, I heard that many vicious people came yesterday and took Dr. Xue away. The medicine boy at the medical center said that there were patients who urgently needed medical treatment."

While picking out jars, Mayberry happened to hear the store owner mention what happened next door.

"Ah, this old doctor Xue went to a distant clinic for medical treatment?"

"Yes, a group of people came over on fast horses and took old doctor Xue away in less than a breath. It seemed that they were really anxious."

"Doesn't it mean that there are no doctors in the medical clinic these days?"

As Meiberry said, the shop owner nodded and said, "Isn't that right? The most I can do is get some medicine these days. If you want to see a doctor or something, you can only wait two days~ I don't know exactly how many days I can come back."

The boss shook his head and sighed a few words, then started sharing gossip as if he had remembered something, and said, "I heard them say that those people are very similar to Lian Jiazi, maybe they are all gangsters."

…”

I saw the other party doing an action movie of wiping his neck.

Mei Mei and Mei Youqian still didn't say anything when they saw this. This thing was too far away from them, so they just had to listen.

Seeing that they were so silent, the boss had no desire to chat anymore. After saying a few more words, he settled the money in the two jars they picked, one large and one small, and left without caring about them.

Later, when they walked out of an uninhabited alley, the father and daughter only left a small earthen jar held by Mayberry.

"It seems that Dr. Xue's medical skills are really good, and some people come here because of his reputation."

Mei Youqian sighed with emotion, but Mei Bei was even more confused. She looked at her father and asked: "Dr. Xie earlier, dad, the one you invited, how come I don't seem to understand what the boss said today?"

What about the second doctor in the hospital?"

"Forehead……"

Mei Youqian paused, then remembered that he hadn't mentioned this to his daughter yet, but it was his daughter who was the first to sense that something was wrong.

"That Doctor Xie..."

Mei Youqian touched his nose, laughed twice, and then confessed: "Actually, I am just an apprentice..."

Mayberry:??

In Jinbai County,

"Cough cough cough!"

In a house that was three doors down, Xie Changxu was wearing a warm fox fur and coughing non-stop.

The room was filled with charcoal fire, and his pale face contrasted sharply with his blood-red lips, making him look as breathtaking as a lustful ghost crawling out of hell.

"Knowing that my body is in such bad shape! If I had known that you were so capable, you would still have ended up working as an apprentice in a medical clinic!"

Mr. Xue, who was wearing a long gown next to him, had a layer of sweat on his forehead in the room, but the high temperature in the room was simply torture for him at his age.

But even so, Mr. Xue conscientiously took out his needle bag. After a set of acupuncture was completed, the two of them seemed to be fished out of the water.

"Next time, don't expect me to save you again!"

"Ahem, cough, cough, how is Gu Pinglu's health?"

Without responding to Mr. Xue's warning, Xie Changxu lay on the couch with a tired look and asked about the other person.

"better than you!"

Mr. Xue glared at Xie Changxu angrily, and then said, "That boy is blessed with great fortune, and the old injuries on his body are no longer serious. The bruise on his head is not serious now when he wakes up."

Speaking of this, Mr. Xue became even more angry. It was obviously Gu Pinglu who was suffering, so why did Xie Changxu, who was the helper, almost lose half of his life?

Thinking that he had not slept a wink from yesterday to today, Mr. Xue dreamed back to the days when he was working as an errand in Tai Hospital and was so busy every day that his feet never touched the ground.

"Um."

When Xie Changxu heard that Gu Pinglu was still fine, he stopped talking. He raised his hand and pulled the fox fur that he had just untied onto his body. He closed his eyes and seemed to want to continue sleeping.

He didn't have the energy to freshen up and rest again. He should have a good sleep now.

It's just that he wants to sleep, but Mr. Xue doesn't agree.

"Get up first. I'll ask your men to prepare a medicated bath for you. The water will be kept hot. I'll take a bath and absorb the medicinal power before going to sleep!"

Xie Changxu: "..."

"Hurry up, if you get up and wash up, I'll tell you a secret I discovered on Gu Pinglu."

Xie Changxu: "..."

"You brat, get up!"

Seeing that Xie Changxu was as stubborn as a stubborn stone, Mr. Xue rushed forward and tried to pull him up, but Xie Changxu immediately opened his eyes and turned over to avoid it. The clear gaze in his eyes showed no trace of the confusion just now.

"What secret?"

"Go take a bath. I'll tell you when I take a bath."

Xie Changxu: "..."

Xie Changxu, who couldn't resist Mr. Xue, finally took a medicated bath to strengthen his body. When he was wiping his hair, Mr. Xue finally spoke.

"The wound on that kid's shoulder was treated with my medicine."

When Mr. Xue spoke, Xie Changxun paused slightly while stepping on his hair. He looked at Mr. Xue opposite and asked, "When will the medicine be given?"

"Hey~ I just said you are smart~" Mr. Xue chuckled and said, "That's because I developed an improved wound medicine after I left the palace and returned to my hometown, which reduced the cost."

"Recently, there are only a handful of people buying your medicine in your clinic."

After Xie Changzhen said this, Mr. Xue also smiled: "Yes, that boy said that he was hiding from his enemies in the middle... Humph, there is something hidden."

"Forget it, we'll talk about this later, but those people who were caught... cough, cough, cough! I will personally torture them later."

On days without Lao Mei's exquisite pretentiousness, Mei Berry just feels comfortable.

Mei Youqian started to show off towards the paddy field. No matter what others said, he was not going to grow rice anyway.

Not only did he not cultivate, he also did not cultivate plums and horses. This operation of the two brothers made many people in the village criticize.

It just so happened that, taking this opportunity, Wei Meili didn't go out much to give those women a chance to talk. Instead, Mei Li called Miao and others to try delicious food at home every day.

Tea, bean snacks.

Even Mei You seemed to have nothing to do every day and followed Miao here to eat and drink every day.

"Sister-in-law makes this Yinzi very well. Even if it is sold in the town, it will still be very popular!"

In the past few days, Mrs. Miao drank the mulberry and chrysanthemum drinks, Luohan tea, and gold and silver refreshing drinks prepared by Wei Meili. They were paired with the adzuki bean paste buns and mung bean cakes made by Wei Meili. She could not say anything else but marvel.

"Second Auntie, are you really planning to make tea and snacks?"

If Mei You didn't see Wei Meimei's plan on the first day, then it would be strange if she couldn't see it after asking them about their tastes for several days in a row.

"Um."

"Didn't you say before that it's not easy to make money by making food? It's easy to be imitated."

"I know, so this tea will be sold in the summer. After the season, we will close the stall and sell it in other places. We can always be one step ahead of others and make quick money."

Wei Meili answered her plan frankly and unabashedly, "I just want to adapt to the four seasons. Every season, except when the farming is busy, I can take the time to sell some seasonal food, so it is not a waste of my skills."

As she said this, Wei Meili sneered in her heart at what she said.

She is either farming or setting up stalls all year round, so she shouldn't be so tired!

Next year, in the year of great disaster, they will have to prepare a lot of supplies, money, medicine, food in advance... they cannot just rely on the system.

Thinking about it, Wei Meili looked out the window at the cloudy sky, and a bad premonition came to her mind...

Give Meiberry a two-day buffer first, and have a happy birthday in a few days hahahaha~
Chapter completed!
