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 drinks, Meiberry and her father rented a shop selling earthenware pots next door to buy jars for kimchi.
"Dr. 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 choosing 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 looked like 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 for two days~ I don't know exactly how many days I can come back."
The boss shook his head and sighed, then shared gossip as if he 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 making 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 a deserted 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 there are people who come here because of his reputation."
Mei Youqian sighed with emotion, but Mei Berry became even more confused. She looked at her father and asked: "Dr. Xie from before, 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 medical clinic?"
"Forehead……"
Mei Youqian paused and 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 awkwardly twice, and then confessed: "Actually, I am just an apprentice..."
Mayberry:? ?

In Jinbai County,
"Cough cough cough!"
In a house 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 the medical clinic!"
Mr. Xue, who was wearing a long gown next to him, had a large layer of sweat on his forehead in the room at this moment, 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 said, "That boy is blessed with great fortune, and the old injuries on his body are no longer important. The bruise on his head is no big deal now when he wakes up."
Speaking of this, Mr. Xue became even more angry. It was obviously the troubled Gu Pinglu who was suffering. 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."
Xie Changxu stopped talking when he heard that Gu Pinglu was still fine. He raised his hand and pulled the fox fur 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. After washing, I can 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 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 Changxun, 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 the improved wound medicine I developed 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 medical clinic."
After Xie Changzhen said this, Mr. Xue also smiled: "Yes, that boy said that he was avoiding 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 super 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 Mei Sanma. The actions of the two brothers caused much criticism in the village.
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 Mei called Miao and others to try delicious food at home every day.
Tea, beans and snacks.
Even Mei You seems to have nothing to do every day, coming here with Miao to eat and drink every day.
"Sister-in-law Yinzi makes it very well. Even if it is sold in the town, it will be very popular!"
In the past few days, Mrs. Miao drank the mulberry chrysanthemum drink, 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 hadn't figured out Wei Meimei's plan on the first day, then it would be strange if she couldn't figure it out 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 doing food? It's easy to be imitated."
"I know, so we sell this tea in the summer. After the season, we close the stall and sell it elsewhere. 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 Meimei sneered in her heart at what she said.
She is either farming or setting up stalls all year round, so she doesn’t want to be so tired!
Next year, in the year of great disaster, they will have to prepare a lot of supplies in advance, including money, medicine, food... 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~
