81 The Last Day of Treatment

“Although it looks like it’s almost healed now, we have to wait until next summer to see if it will relapse. According to my judgment, there’s still the possibility of a relapse. I just want you to be mentally prepared so that you won’t panic when you see a relapse.”

Mo Ruyue explained in detail. She didn’t want to be blamed for not being able to explain clearly once her illness relapsed.

“Don’t tell me you can’t make this illness completely recover and not have a relapse? Didn’t you say that the treatment would be long? Didn’t you shorten it by a lot?”

Liu Wangshi’s words were almost unreasonable. Although Mo Ruyue could understand her eagerness to recover completely, she didn’t have the heart to indulge in her unreasonable requests.

!!

“Madam, if I could make the medicine achieve the effect that the patient needs, I wouldn’t be staying in the mountain village now. I can only say that I’ll try my best, but if you really want me to do it, I’m sorry, I can’t do it.”

Through these few days of treatment, Mo Ruyue had a deep understanding of Liu Wangshi’s character. The speed of this person’s yin yang face was indeed more difficult to predict than the weather in July and August.

One second the sun was shining brightly, the next second lightning and thunder. She was the type that was extremely difficult to please.

However, Mo Ruyue had never spoiled her bad habits. Whenever she acted up for no reason, Mo Ruyue would always educate her with words. Liu Wangshi could not refute her because she had to care about her face. She could only grit her teeth and swallow the bitter fruit that she had brewed herself.

As for whether or not Liu Wangshi would keep a small account in her heart, Mo Ruyue no longer cared. She just wanted to finish this treatment as soon as possible and never cross paths again in the future.

Soon, it was almost noon again, and today’s treatment was over. Liu Wangshi knew that Mo Ruyue would not stay for lunch, so she did not bother to ask her to stay.

As usual, Mo Ruyue chose to leave from the back door of the magistrate’s office to minimize her chances of coming into contact with the magistrate.

It was a coincidence that there were suddenly a lot of small disputes in the past few days, so the county magistrate often had to work until after noon before he could come down from the court in front. At this time, Mo Ruyue was almost home.

It was also because of this that Mo Ruyue didn’t see the missing person notice on the wooden noticeboard at the entrance of the government office.

There were no words written on it. Instead, it was a drawing of a lone figure, as if she was staring at a glacier in a daze. On the glacier, a vague figure could be seen. The outline looked like a graceful woman.

No one could understand such a strange missing-person notice and only thought that it was a prank. The passers-by either stopped to look for a while before leaving, or simply ignored it and walked away in a hurry.

Soon, new missing-person notices covered it, and gradually, it was impossible to see what traces were left.

Another eight or nine days passed, and the hard scabs on Liu Wangshi’s body had all fallen off, revealing new, pink flesh. She was about to fully recover.

“Madam, there’s no need to do acupuncture anymore, but you still have to take the medicine on time for a while to consolidate the current treatment effect. You must also persist in taking the medicinal bath. The moment you stop taking the medicine, you can stop taking the medicinal bath. ”

Mo Ruyue said to Liu Wangshi as she packed up after finishing another round of acupuncture.

“So I don’t need to apply ointment to my pink and tender flesh now? I noticed that after using the ointment, the surrounding skin has become very good. Could it be that the ointment also has a beautifying and tender effect?”

As soon as Liu Wangshi said that, Mo Ruyue knew what she was thinking. She was obviously interested in the other effect of the green ointment and wanted to get more from her.

“Madam, that ointment can only be applied for another three to five days at most. You can’t use it as a beauty care product, or else you’ll get calluses again.”

Mo Ruyue took out a small bottle of ointment from the medicine box and placed it beside Liu Wangshi’s hand. The amount in this small bottle was enough to last her for three days. This was also the last bottle of medicine she had left for the county magistrate’s wife. There were no more bottles.

“Lady Qin, from your words, you don’t plan to come back?”

After Liu Wangshi heard Mo Ruyue’s words and saw her actions, she immediately understood the meaning behind her words.

“Yes, Madam, you’re almost fully recovered. Even if I come again, I’ll just ask you to take your medicine, take a medicinal bath, pay attention to hygiene, and maintain a good mood and work and rest habits. I don’t think you need me to supervise you. You can do this just to cure your illness, right?”

Mo Ruyue couldn’t wait to end this treatment process as soon as possible, not to mention running back and forth every day.

It took a lot of effort, and it was too troublesome to meet with the county magistrate every time.

“Since that’s the case, then I would like to thank you for your care and treatment. I heard that my husband has already given you sixty silver? Then I won’t say anything more on my side. After all, money is just a worldly possession, and it’s not enough to express my gratitude. ”

Liu Wangshi’s words immediately made her seem particularly petty, and her class was immediately pulled down.

Mo Ruyue might not have been coveting her extra expression, but when she heard these words, she still felt extremely uncomfortable in her heart. However, she did not express it. Instead, she smiled faintly and asked to leave.

Liu Wangshi didn’t try to keep her here any longer. She waved her hand, not even bothering to say a word of courtesy, and let her go.

Mo Ruyue had just left when Magistrate Liu entered the main house. He looked left and right as soon as he entered the house, as if he was looking for Mo Ruyue.

“Wife, I heard from Mei Xiang that your body is much better today. The time to leave the hall today was a little early, so I came to see you in a hurry.”

The magistrate’s words were full of emotion, but his actions were not quite in line with his actions. However, the magistrate’s wife’s attention was focused on the new skin and flesh growing from her wound and did not notice the difference in the magistrate’s words and actions.

“Wife, has Lady Qin already left? It seems that she left earlier today than usual. ”

The magistrate hadn’t seen Mo Ruyue for a long time. The more he couldn’t see her, the more he wanted to see her. He couldn’t help but ask Liu Wangshi.

“Lady Qin? Oh right, before she left, she said that today was the last day of the treatment, so there was no need for acupuncture. The following medicine and medicinal bath were all things that I could do on my own, so she wouldn’t be coming from tomorrow onwards. ”

“What? Today is the last day, she won’t come?”

The magistrate was stunned and shouted in surprise.

Liu Wangshi was startled by his loud voice. She patted her chest and said, “Why are you so loud? You scared me to death!”

“Oh, Madam, please don’t blame me. I originally wanted to invite her for a meal before the end of the treatment. After all, she has done her best to treat you and has been traveling between two places all day. We can’t not even invite her to a meal in the end, right?”
