Chapter 661: Chapter 660: Different Treatment
She first cleaned Li Hengyi’s wounds, used a small knife to remove the dead flesh, and then applied the top-quality hemostatic medicine and golden sore medicine, before finally wrapping a thin layer of gauze around the wound.
She then poured out a medicine pill and handed it to Li Hengyi.
“This…” Li Hengyi hesitated.
“Take it if I give it to you. I’ve already saved up quite a few medicinal herbs in my hands. The most valuable ones have been found, and after some time, I’ll try with the old master to see if we can develop it!”
Xie Zhinuan said no more about the excess.
Previously, she feared the predicament where an innocent man would be punished for possessing a treasure he could not protect, but now that she gradually had the means, even if someone knew about it, they would need the ability to snatch it from her.
Her only weakness was Ayi, and she tried to make everyone else around her strong, so that when the time came, even if they couldn’t help her, they could at least protect themselves.
She poured a cup of warm water, “Take it, you seem fine, but your injury is still quite severe. How long are you going to endure like this? Moreover, there are matters in Gaocheng County waiting for you to handle!”
Upon hearing this, Li Hengyi could no longer refuse.
He took the medicine pill and warm water and sat down to meditate and circulate his inner strength. After breaking out in another sweat and catching his breath, he felt much more at ease.
The pain from the wound subsided, and he could feel his inner strength surging once again.
But only Yuanbao was in the small hall, Xie Zhinuan was nowhere to be seen.
“Young Master Ayi came over, Miss Xie is outside playing with him!” Yuanbao promptly informed him.
Li Hengyi nodded and stood up, walking towards the outside.
He then saw Xie Zhinuan and Xie Yi sitting together, the mother and son apparently chatting about something, looking very warm and cozy.
He had watched Xie Zhinuan pick up Xie Yi, a child of quite a few months. Had the child turned over, he would have fallen into the river and drowned. It was the child’s good fortune to be found by Xie Zhinuan and bee her son, whom she cherished dearly.
The most important thing was the affection Xie Zhinuan provided, which though not by blood, surpassed that of a mother and son.
Xie Zhinuan turned back and smiled at Li Hengyi, then said to Xie Yi, “This is Uncle Li!”
Xie Yi remembered Li Hengyi.
Yet he still got up and obediently called out, “Uncle Li!”
“Good boy!” Li Hengyi stretched out his hand to ruffle Xie Yi’s hair.
The child had been raised well.
Very polite and clever, his tender white and rosy cheeks were adorable and endearing to all.
Holding Xie Yi in her arms and seeing that Li Hengyi’s plexion was much rosier, Xie Zhinuan knew he must be almost pletely healed, and began to discuss the affairs of Gaocheng County with him.
The epidemic in Gaocheng County had been basically brought under control, and many people from other places came seeking medical treatment. Every day, there were quite a few gifts delivered to her door. No matter how valuable, they were all handed off to the gatekeeper or simply left at the door and people would leave, as if by doing so, she would not refuse to treat them.
However, in reality, it was the poorer, those who valued silver more, who contracted the disease the least.
For example, those mon folks who came for a pulse check in the early days, almost none were infected. Instead, those who had a few spare coins and harbored ill intentions were more likely to be sick.
The severity varied, but both men and women were affected.
Most cases involved men contracting diseases from unclean practices outside their homes and bringing them back to their wives.
Fortunately, these diseases could be pletely cured.
But as for the county magistrate’s side…
Xie Zhinuan looked at Li Hengyi.
Li Hengyi then said, “I have already called up troops to surround Gaocheng County, preventing any murderer from escaping. Anyone with blood on their hands will be executed by beheading!”
“That’s a matter for you officials to handle, I won’t interfere!”
She still preferred focusing on healing and saving people, and advancing her medical skills.
With Li Hengyi having returned, Xie Zhinuan thought of cooking personally to prepare a delicious feast for him as a wele and to cleanse the dust from his travels.
She also hadn’t entered the kitchen to cook for a long time and took the opportunity to make something she herself wanted to eat.
She took the chance to also take out a large watermelon from her magical storage space, offering it to Li Hengyi to quench his thirst.
