Chapter 168: Why Is It Him?
Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios
Old Zhao stammered, “Are… are these all for me? Are you sure?”
He really did not expect Su Li to be so generous. Since she had even given him the fare for the round trip, most importantly, there was also money to award his hard work.
Therefore, the fact that he had to travel at night was no longer important. As long as someone paid him enough money, he was willing to go to the graveyard in the middle of the night.
Su Li nodded slightly and said, “That’s right. After this is done, the silver will be yours. Now, I can pay the travel fees to you first. When you come back, I’ll give you the rest of the silver.”
“Just give me a definite answer. Are you going to do this or not?”
Anything that could be solved with money was not a problem.
However, Su Li silently added the sum to the account book. She thought to herself that when the man woke up, she would definitely ask him for a sum of money. It was impossible for her to pay for it!
If the man was unwilling to give it to her, she would directly sell the sword that she had kept in her space. With the gems on the scabbard, she should be able to sell it for a lot of money.
Old Zhao hurriedly nodded and said, “Of course I’ll go. I’ll set off now.” A pie had fallen from the sky. Could he still be so stupid and not know how to eat it?
Su Li handed the written letter to Old Zhao and instructed, “Give the letter to him. Tell him that I have something urgent to discuss with him.”
Old Zhao said, “What if he ignores me?”
The doctor of Huiren Hall was so powerful. Why would he care about an old man like him?
Su Li said confidently, “Just say my name.”
Old Zhao was speechless. She make it sound like it’s true.
Forget it. Anyway, he was tasked to go and tell that doctor about this, it would have nothing to do with him whether the doctor came or not!
Old Zhao and informed his family before getting on the ox cart and preparing
to set off.
Su Li stuffed some items that could help Old Zhao defend himself into his hands and taught him how to use them.
Old Zhao was a little unconcerned. “What’s the use of that? If I’m unlucky and encounter a thief, there’s nothing we can do. We can just admit defeat. Don’t tell me we can defeat the thief?”
Su Li didn’t argue with him and said, “In any case, take this thing first. You can return it to me if you don’t need it.”
This road was not peaceful. She did not want anything to happen to Old Zhao.
Old Zhao nodded reluctantly. “Alright!”
Since Su Li had already said so, it would be ungrateful of him not to take it.
Old Master Zhao drove the ox cart away. Su Li watched as he disappeared and walked home.
When they returned home, He Yufeng had already brewed the medicine. He carried the medicine to the room. Because it was still a little hot, he could only put it aside to cool it.
He saw that the man’s face was dirty, so he fetched a basin of water to help him wipe it off.
After wiping it clean, the person’s original appearance was revealed.
He saw that this person was covered in blood and planned to help him take off his clothes and change. He was not afraid of the man’s injuries. He had seen more terrifying things on the battlefield in the past.
Because there was an arrow on the man’s back, He Yufeng did not put on his shirt after taking it off. Instead, he chose to cover him with a shirt.
When He Yufeng heard Su Li’s footsteps, he hurriedly stopped her. “Don’t come in!”
Su Li stopped pushing the door open and asked curiously, “What’s wrong?”
He Yufeng explained, “I’m changing his clothes.”
This person had yet to put on his pants. If Su Li saw him, she would grow a sty!
Su Li: “…” He was really fussy. She had seen all kinds of patients. She had seen many of such situations in her previous life.
However, in order not to agitate He Yufeng, Su Li still stood obediently outside the door and waited.
After a while.
He Yufeng said, “You can come in now.”
Only then did Su Li push open the door and enter. She glanced at the man. He Yufeng had changed him out of his dirty clothes and wiped the dirt off his body. She really didn’t expect He Yufeng to help him do this.
He Yufeng sensed Su Li’s gaze and explained, “When I saw him, I remembered my brothers on the battlefield, so I helped him wipe his body clean.”
Although this person was saved by Su Li, seeing this man covered in blood reminded him of his time on the battlefield. They often became like this. He remembered that one time when he was about to die, his companions insisted on carrying him back and even asked the doctors in the military camp to treat him. Only then did he survive.
He knew that the man in front of him might be trouble, but when he saw this situation, his heart could not help but soften. Su Li nodded and praised, “You’re very meticulous.”
Meticulous?
Perhaps it was empathy. He did not want others to experience the helplessness he had once felt.
The corners of He Yufeng’s mouth twitched as he changed the topic. “I saw that you were walking towards Old Zhao’s house just now. Are you asking him to help get a doctor?”
Other than this possibility, he could not think of anything else for Su Li to look for Old Zhao for.
He Yufeng said, “We do have to invite a doctor, but it shouldn’t be easy to invite a doctor from Huiren Hall! I’m just afraid that Old Zhao will have made a wasted trip.”
The doctors of Huiren Hall usually did not go out for consultations. He did not know why the doctor came to help him perform surgery last time. Could it really be because Su Li looked like that doctor’s old friend?
He Yufeng couldn’t help but take a few more glances at Su Li. In the past, when she was fat, he didn’t think she was good-looking. Although there was still some meat on her face now, she had indeed lost a lot of weight compared to before. The meat on her face looked very cute.
Moreover, he felt that she had changed, especially those big, expressive eyes. Every time he looked into her eyes, he could not help but fall for her.
Could it be that the doctor liked Su Li?
Otherwise, why would he make an exception for Su Li? He wouldn’t even go out for consultation for others when they invited him, but once Su Li asked, he came. He carefully thought about Cheng Yu and Su Li’s expressions when they interacted.
Cheng Yu looked at Su Li with a glint in his eyes. At the thought of this possibility, He Yufeng felt like he was about to explode.
Su Li had no idea. She did not expect He Yufeng to have imagined so many things in just two sentences. However, even if she knew, she did not care.
No matter whether she and He Yufeng had the kind of relationship between a husband and wife, it was better for everyone to respect each other!
He Yufeng felt suffocated, but there was nothing he could do. He knew that his relationship with Su Li had not reached the point where he could interrogate her.
Su Li took a few steps forward. That person was lying on the bed with his face turned to the other side. She walked over curiously. When she saw the man’s face on the bed, she was stunned.
Why was it him?
Su Li thought of the token that had fallen from his body previously and held back her thoughts. Could this person be related to Zeng Qing?
He Yufeng saw Su Li’s surprised expression and asked, “Do you know this person?”
Su Li nodded and said, “I don’t really know him.. I just met him once!”
