Chapter 945 Medical Girl
When Tian Yun woke up again, he found himself lying on a straw mat.
The room is not big and the furniture is a bit simple, but everything is neatly arranged and most of them are handmade.
There are also several flower baskets hanging on the wall, filled with fragrant flowers, which add a warm feeling to the small room.
It can be seen that the owner of the house is not rich, but he is full of passion for life.
Tianyun felt dry in his mouth and subconsciously propped himself up, only to find that the mat under him was stuffed with rice stalks, which was very soft.
The burning sensation in my head seemed to have dissipated a lot. When I smelled carefully, there was still a bitter smell of medicine in the room.
"Who saved me..."
Tianyun didn’t know what emotion he was feeling right now, regret, helplessness, happiness, or gratitude?
He didn't know it himself.
I originally wanted to end this dark period of my life, but I didn't expect that I would be rescued by someone.
No matter what, Tianyun didn't want to die for the time being, at least he had to repay the other party's kindness first. Otherwise, even if he died, he would still feel that he owed others a favor.
Squeak——
The wooden door was pushed open by a slender white hand, and a woman as gentle and lovely as jade walked in.
"Are you awake? The weather is turning cold. Drink this hot soup quickly to warm your body, otherwise you will get sick." The woman smiled faintly. She was wearing a simple patterned silk dress, like an ordinary country girl. She placed a bowl of hot mushroom soup beside the bed.
Tianyun quickly climbed down from the bed, stood up straight, and then bowed.
"Thank you for saving my life, my name is Tianyun, I will definitely repay you for this kindness!"
The woman glanced at him and nodded without comment: "I am a female doctor. Saving the dying and healing the wounded is my job. You don't have to be too grateful. Just take good care of yourself first."
As for repaying the favor, the woman didn't seem to care. She just saved a poor guy, not for the so-called repayment.
Tianyun looked grateful, not daring to lose his manners, and responded with a fist: "Thank you, young lady, I'm really sorry to bother you..."
The woman smiled gently, gave a few instructions, and then walked out of the room.
The small room fell into silence again.
Tianyun was thinking about how to repay the other party with a slightly complicated expression. He felt weak in his body and decided to lie down first.
When I lay flat on my back, I felt a slight itchy pain coming from my back.
He had been whipped by the foreman before, leaving scars on his back. Only now did he realize that the woman had also applied a layer of ointment on his back. No wonder he felt a little itchy.
"We just met by chance, and he has done so much for me. I can't leave before I repay him for saving my life, otherwise I would be a ungrateful person."
Tianyun originally wanted to leave secretly, but looking at the bowl of steaming soup beside the bed, he felt that he owed the other person too much, and it would be unreasonable to just leave.
Anyway, I have nowhere to go, so there is no rush to commit suicide.
In this way, Tianyun temporarily stayed in the doctor's house to recuperate and repay his gratitude.
When I walked out of the room, I found that it was a quaint little courtyard with flowers and herbs planted along the wall, two thatched houses, and a small medicine room.
Tianyun was given a thatched hut to live in, and the female doctor lived in an adjacent hut, which was filled with many dried medicinal herbs.
Through daily conversations, Tianyun learned the doctor's name and past.
The female doctor's name is Yang Qingqing. Her parents died early and she was adopted by her master since she was a child. She is now in her early twenties.
After the death of the master who taught her skills, Yang Qingqing moved around and finally chose to live here alone. The female doctor is independent and strong. Every brick, every blade of grass and every tree in this yard were built by her own hands.
After a few days, when the cold had subsided and Tianyun had regained some strength, he began to help the female doctor Yang Qingqing with her work very considerately.
When Yang Qingqing went up the mountain to collect herbs, he would clean the yard thoroughly; when Yang Qingqing prepared and ground the herbs, he would simply classify and pick the herbs collected from the mountain according to the medical books in the house.
When Yang Qingqing was invited to go out and treat patients, he would guard the yard and take good care of the medicinal herbs; when Yang Qingqing was reading medical books at home, he would go to the nearby mountains to collect herbs on her behalf.
This kind of life lasted for more than half a year.
During this period, the female doctor Yang Qingqing advised Tianyun that it was just a simple favor and there was no need to repay it so much, he could just leave at any time.
Tianyun was conscientious in fulfilling his duty, was grateful and insisted on repaying the life-saving grace.
At the same time, he was also confused and didn't know where to go. Sometimes when he looked at the flowers and plants in the yard, he even felt that human life was too complicated and it was not as easy as living like plants.
In response to Tianyun's insistence, Yang Qingqing followed him, treating him as a simple and honest poor patient, and did not urge him to leave.
Behind this, there is also the intention of temporary shelter.
Tianyun was even more grateful for this. It took a lot of courage for a weak woman living alone to take in a strange man to live in her home, and she might also have to face rumors from the outside world.
Moreover, one more person means one more mouth to feed. Yang Qingqing's family did not have much surplus food. In order to take care of Tianyun when he was seriously ill, the female doctor had to sell medicinal herbs in exchange for food several times, and she also bore a lot of pressure in the early days.
However, Yang Qingqing was simple-minded. She only considered the pitiful situation of the patients and did not care too much about her own difficulties. Such a pure and kind heart moved Tianyun deeply.
Gradually, in life, the relationship between the two became more familiar, and they began to talk and laugh, and go out together to collect and grind herbs.
Yang Qingqing was a gentle, jade-like woman. She had lived alone for a long time and was used to quietness.
But Tianyun's arrival seemed to bring a different meaning to this secluded courtyard, as if a stone was thrown into the lake.
This honest and simple man, sometimes very straightforward and clumsy in speech, made Yang Qingqing's lonely life more interesting, making her feel like she had found a figure who could resonate with her in this world.
This is not love between men and women, but it is like two hearts with different loneliness approaching each other and staying in the warmth for a short time. Although it is a chance encounter, it has formed a bond of mutual dependence and companionship like relatives.
Tianyun looks to be in his early forties. To Yang Qingqing, he is like a reliable uncle. Her elegance, quietness, and warm and kind heart also allow Tianyun to find a rare peace in this vast world.
But the peaceful days did not last long.
I don’t know whether Tianyun herself is plagued by bad luck, or her sensitive identity as a female doctor will sooner or later bring trouble to Yang Qingqing.
One day, a group of people broke into the courtyard violently.
"Where's Yang Qingqing? Get out here! The medicine you prescribed killed my brother!"
A man with red eyes kicked open the door of the courtyard with a hoe and rushed in to start smashing things.
"You're a quack. You killed my brother!"
"Get out, get out!"
The group of people were filled with anger, all holding hoes or axes high in the air, the anger in their eyes was like a raging fire.
Hearing the noise, Yang Qingqing walked out of the room immediately, but failed to stop them from smashing things.
Tianyun also rushed out from another room and quickly stood in front of Yang Qingqing, looking at the group of people with vigilance and suspicion.
"Liu Laosan, please don't mess with me!"
Yang Qingqing put her hands on her hips and walked out slightly from behind Tianyun. She was not afraid at all when facing the angry shouts of a group of people.
"I told you when I was seeing the doctor that your brother is seriously ill and in critical condition. I have made it clear to your family that I, Yang Qingqing, am only a small village doctor with limited abilities. I have less than a 20% chance of curing him. At most, I can keep him alive for a while!"
"Your brother was about to die, and it was your family who decided to take a gamble and try to save the situation."
"Although your brother is still dead now, let's count the days... The medicine I prescribed made him live for more than half a month longer. During this period, you didn't find other skilled doctors in time, but how dare you come to my hospital to make trouble!"
Yang Qingqing had practiced medicine in an upright manner throughout her life and had never done anything wrong. Now she explained the situation quickly so that the villagers would not think that she was practicing medicine recklessly!
