Ye Jinsu looked anxious as she looked pleadingly at Lady Qi.
Lady Qi glanced at Ye Jinsu and finally let go of her hand helplessly. She opened the door and asked Ye Jinsu to come over. However, her brows were still furrowed as she said, "It's not that we don't want to save them, but that there are wolves in the mountains. It's very dangerous."
"My husband is just a doctor, and he is the sole successor of his family. If something were to happen to him, how would I explain this to my parents?"
"Furthermore, we have just fought a war, and the battlefield is littered with corpses. How do we even get to that place?"
Every word that Lady Qi said made her heart sink even more.
She lowered her head slightly. "I know what you're worried about, Lady Qi. If there's any patient who can bear the slight bumps, I'll bring him here. It's just that …"
"Lady Qi, please be at ease. I will protect Doctor Qi well. "If Lady Qi is truly worried, we can set off tomorrow morning, and the danger will naturally be reduced."
Lady Qi looked at Ye Jinsu with a helpless and slightly annoyed expression before turning around to pack her things. "You also said that the danger was reduced, so there's still danger."
"It's not wrong that we're doctors that treat patients, but we can't throw our lives away either."
Xiao Rong'er pouted as she listened, and she couldn't help but mutter under her breath, "But if you guys are like this, aren't you just going to stand there and watch us die?"
Ye Jinxiu hurriedly reached out her hand to pull her up.
Xiao Rong chirped.
Doctor Qi turned his head around beside the medicine cabinet and looked at Ye Jinsu impatiently. "Young lady, we have our own difficulties too. If I were to go with you, who knows how many patients in this town would be delayed by the two days' journey. "
"What if someone dies because of the delay of these two days?"
Qi Long's voice reverberated throughout the land, making Ye Jinsu unable to speak. She stood blankly on the spot, but could only watch as the two of them made up their minds, at a loss of what to do.
Ye Jinxiu clenched her fist tightly by her side as a light flashed in her eyes.
"How can Doctor Qi change his mind?"
Qi Long sighed, shook his head and walked out of the hall.
Lady Qi also looked at Ye Jinsu helplessly, pushing him away and saying, "Lady, we're not targeting you, it's just that this is too far."
Ye Jinxiu didn't want to let go of her sleeve, so she looked at her imploringly, "I beg of you, please reconsider. He's really important to me. I can't just watch him die."
"The patient's family will think that the patient is very important, but we are not gods. We can't help everyone." Lady Qi pushed Ye Jinsu aside and shut the door.
The brown door completely cut off Ye Jinsu's hope.
Xiao Rong'er looked at the soulless expression on Ye Jinsu's face and cautiously pulled her back. She then looked at the sky and asked, "Should we go back first?"
"Who knows, maybe Brother Ning will make his own fortune. Maybe he will recover on his own?"
Ye Jinxiu suddenly squatted down, buried her head in her elbow and took two deep breaths before shaking her head. She would not place her hopes on that suspended sky, which was not to be believed.
After a long while, Ye Jinsu raised her head. Xiao Rong'er thought that Ye Jinsu was crying, but in reality, her voice was a bit hoarse and her eyes weren't even red.
"It's too late, you should go to the inn to stay for the night." Ye Jinsu took out the silver from her pocket and gave it to her.
Xiao Rong'er stared blankly at the money that Ye Jinsu handed over, and only reacted after a while, "What about you?"
Ye Jinsu turned her head to look at the sign in the Qi family clinic. She patted her skirt and sat down on the stairs, "I'll wait here."
Xiao Rong opened her eyes wide, staring at Ye Jinsu in a daze, unable to say a word.
After a long while, Xiao Rong'er looked at Ye Jinsu with a complicated expression and couldn't help but mutter under her breath, "Is there really a need for that?" Is it worth it? "
Ye Jinsu lowered her head and smiled to herself.
"If your Brother Qiang was seriously ill, would you go to a doctor to have a look?" Ye Jinsu asked her.
Xiao Rong'er was stunned.
Blinking her eyes, she also sat down with Ye Jinsu and held her chin as she pondered.
"If he's sick, I'll scold him." Little Rong'er said with her cheeks puffed up.
Ye Jinxiu turned to look at her.
"He told me he was going to buy me a sweet cake from the Book of Phoebe, but he hasn't saved up enough money."
"If he was this sick, I would have cursed him to death."
Ye Jinsu couldn't help but laugh.
"Is the sweet cake of Fu Lu Ji tasty?" Ye Jinsu asked.
Xiao Rong'er shook her head, using her fingers to play around on the ground, "Delicious."
"Then I'll take you to eat tomorrow."
"No!" Xiao Rong'er suddenly shook her head, strongly objecting.
Ye Jinsu smiled again and said, "I know. I need you to let Brother Qiang take you to eat."
Ye Jinsu's tone was a bit dubious, causing Xiao Rong'er to blush. She looked at Ye Jinsu in distress, and stammered nervously, "You …" What nonsense are you spouting! "
"I don't want him to buy it for me." Xiao Rong'er lowered her head and muttered in an inaudible voice.
Ye Jinsu inwardly smiled, no longer teasing her.
It was completely dark outside. The closed door was still closed, cold and merciless.
Ye Jinsu watched as the door was gradually drowned in the darkness of the night, then watched as Lady Qi walked out from inside to hang up the lanterns, and frowned even more deeply at Lady Qi. She tried to say something more, but Madame Qi turned and slammed the door again.
Once again, Ye Jinsu was utterly defeated.
She dejectedly sat back down on the side of the stairs, looking at the sky full of stars in boredom. The silence flowed around her.
"Why don't you tell me about you and Brother Qiang?" Ye Jinxiu suddenly said.
The night was too long, the waiting too lonely.
Xiao Rong'er rolled her eyes and pondered for a moment. She stretched out her hand and began to count on her fingers as she spoke, "My mother and his mother used to know each other. When my father went hunting, my mother would bring me to play with him."
"Our two families aren't that close, sometimes my mother and his mother chat too late, so we just sleep at his house."
"We used to love fighting back then, but he couldn't beat me every time, and he always ran ahead of me."
"I fought with other kids once..."
Xiao Rong'er continued to talk, and it was just a small matter, Xiao Rong'er actually remembered it very clearly. At the end of her speech, Xiao Rong'er seemed to be in high spirits, and the more she spoke, the more spirited she became.
Her list of things almost ran out of fingers, until she was eight years old.
"My mother died when I was eight." Little Rong'er suddenly said depressingly, hugging her knees as she shrank into a tiny ball.
"My father called many doctors and even brought my mother to the town, but the doctor said it was too late to save her."
"When my mother left, my father still didn't tell me. My father left me at his house, wanting to hide it from me. But then I found out, I had a big fight with him, and I bit his arm until it was full of teeth marks. "
"He still has a scar on his arm."
