Chapter 15 Inseparable
Shen Yuexi and Xiao Zhuo were having dinner with Mrs. Feng when Feng Zhang's loud voice rang out from outside the door.

"Mother, Dr. You is here."

Old Madam Feng put down her chopsticks and said to Shen Yuexi, "You two eat first, and I'll go talk to Dr. You."

Xiao Zhuo stood up and said, "It's okay, let's go together."

Shen Yuexi saw Xiao Zhuo standing up, quickly swallowed the food in his mouth, put down the bowl, stood up and said to Xiao Zhuo: "I will help you to go there."

Although he only ate half full, Xiao Zhuo's matter was more important.

The three of them came to the outer room together and found that Feng Zhang was entering the room with an old man carrying a medicine box.The old man looked about sixty, had a beard under his chin, and was wearing a double-breasted jacket.

"Doctor You, this is Mr. Pei." Feng Zhang introduced Xiao Zhuo to Doctor You.

Shen Yuexi and Xiao Zhuo had already decided not to use their real names in order not to be discovered by those who were chasing them. Xiao Zhuo used the queen's surname, and the queen's surname was Pei. Today's Xiao Zhuo is Pei Zhuo, while Shen Yuexi changed his name to Ming Yuexi.

Dr. You glanced at the two of them with a trace of surprise in his eyes.

Xiao Zhuo and Shen Yuexi have outstanding looks, they are not ordinary villagers at first glance.However, Feng Zhang had already told him about the situation of the two of them on the road.He was not polite at the moment, and invited Xiao Zhuo to an empty room for treatment, while Mrs. Feng and Feng Zhang went to eat by themselves.

Shen Yuexi followed and took off Xiao Zhuo's right shoulder, exposing the wound.Then he brought a lamp over to illuminate Dr. You.

Dr. You stroked his beard, stepped forward to take a look, then turned to Shen Yuexi and asked, "Is this an arrow wound?"

Shen Yuexi had been prepared for a long time, and said with a sad face: "Exactly, when our husband and wife were robbed by bandits, my husband fought with them and was shot by an arrow."

Dr. You frowned and said nothing, took out a cotton swab from the medicine box, and probed deep into the wound.

Xiao Zhuo trembled slightly.

Shen Yuexi knew that he must be in pain, so she gently held his hand, Xiao Zhuo closed her eyes and remained silent.

Dr. You took out the cotton swab and put it under the lamp to watch.Shen Yuexi also tilted her head to look over, and found that the white cotton swab was covered with pus and blood.Her heart tightened, the wound was festering.

"Young Master Pei's arrow wound has been worsening for several days." Dr. You opened the medicine box, "It will be more difficult to treat."

At this time Feng Zhang had finished his meal and walked in, just in time to hear Dr. You evasive.

He is straightforward and doesn't listen to oblique words.Pulling Dr. You's sleeve, he said in a rough voice: "Doctor, give me an answer as to whether it can be cured or not."

"I can't cure it. You'd better go to the county seat to invite a doctor. The young master's injury can't be delayed any longer. Otherwise, his life will be in danger." Doctor You told the truth, got up and left.

It happened that Mrs. Feng entered the room with a bowl of chicken soup. Seeing Doctor You leaving in a hurry, the three people in the room looked serious, and asked quickly, "Zhang Zi, why did Doctor You leave?"

"Mother," Feng Zhang scratched his hair, showing a sad face, "Doctor You said that Mr. Pei's injury can't be healed, if he doesn't heal, I'm afraid..."

"Confused, then hurry up and find a doctor in the city," Mrs. Feng urged, "Why are you still here in a daze."

Seeing Feng Zhang's embarrassment, Shen Yuexi knew that he had something to hide.

Looking around Feng's house, there are three adobe houses, the paper windows have been torn open a few times, and the summer night wind blows, rattling.

The vegetables and tofu on the dinner table just now were not oily, and the chicken soup that was brought in just now contained only a few chicken bones...

"Brother Feng," she asked thinking of the two tiger skins, "can the doctors in the county pay me on credit?"

It's getting late now, and the city's fairs must be gone.At daybreak, she could go to the county town with Feng Zhang to sell the tiger skin, enough to pay the doctor's consultation fee, and buy some food and clothing by the way.

Feng Zhang sighed: "Where are the doctors in the county willing to accept credit, unless they are powerful people in the county."

Shen Yuexi frowned after hearing this.

The doctor's credit also depends on the person. As for the poor, it's something that you don't even think about.

Everyone fell silent.

Xiao Zhuo sat upright at the table with a condensed expression, listening to the conversation between the three, he said, "Yue Xi, come here."

Shen Yuexi walked to his side and saw him take out a jade pendant from his waist.The beads are round and jade-like, with a high-grade color, and at first glance it is a piece of high-quality white jade.

"Bring this jade pendant to the doctor."

Shen Yuexi was surprised.

On this road of exile, he never thought that Xiao Zhuo would hide such a valuable thing on his body.

What can be kept by him must be something he cherishes. It is not good to mortgage such a valuable thing to others.

As if seeing her worries, Xiao Zhuo said lightly: "Things outside the body are not important things."

But the more Xiao Zhuo said lightly, the more Shen Yuexi felt that this thing was different.

"Go back quickly."

No chance of rejection at all.

Shen Yuexi: "..."

But it's not too late, Xiao Zhuo's injury can't wait any longer, she picked up the jade pendant, and was about to go out the door, but was held back by Xiao Zhuo.

Xiao Zhuo held her back, turned to Mrs. Feng and said, "I don't know if the old lady has clean men's clothes."

Mrs. Feng thought it was Xiao Zhuo who wanted to change into a new set of clothes, so she took out a half-new set of clothes from the inner room: "This is what I wore when I got married. I wore it once as the head of the house, and I am not willing to wear it again. How about you?" Don't dislike it and use it first, but Zhang Zi's father is not as tall as you."

Xiao Zhuo took it and thanked Mrs. Feng, and handed it to Shen Yuexi: "Come on, wear this men's clothes and go."

Shen Yuexi knew what Xiao Zhuo meant, it was inconvenient for women to walk outside at night, and it was even more unsafe for her to look like a troublesome woman.

She took it and said, "Okay, I'll change it now."

Only then did Mrs. Feng know that Mr. Pei was wearing it for his wife.

Thinking about it, it's not very safe to go to the city at night, and this lady Pei is really beautiful, so I'm afraid of being missed by the bad guys.

After changing clothes with Mrs. Feng in the inner room, Shen Yuexi rolled up the cuffs and trousers that had grown out, tied up her hair, and walked to the outer room, appearing in front of Xiao Zhuo and Feng Zhang like a handsome young man.

When Feng Zhang saw him, he scratched his head and said with a silly smile, "I didn't expect Mrs. Pei to wear men's clothes, but she looks pretty good."

Shen Yuexi knew that he was a rough guy, so she didn't take it seriously, she looked at Xiao Zhuo, wondering how he would evaluate herself.

Xiao Zhuo looked her up and down, nodded, and didn't say much.

"If Mrs. Pei was a man, she would also be a handsome young master," Old Madam Feng urged the two of them with a smile, "You guys go together, go and come back quickly."

Before leaving, Mrs. Feng gave Shen Yuexi another fifty copper coins.

Xiao Zhuo stood at the door, watching Shen Yuexi and Feng Zhang leave with the tiger skin, and did not return to the house for a long time.

Mrs. Feng came over and said with a smile: "You young couple just got married, right?"

Xiao Zhuo nodded: "Exactly."

"That's it. Back when Zhang Zi and his father just got married, we were inseparable. I would follow him when he went to work in the fields. Your wife is capable. You should go back to the house and rest first. Don't let your wife worry about you."

The old lady Feng greeted Xiao Zhuo while talking: "Come into the house, drink the chicken soup first, or it will be cold."

Xiao Zhuo was interrupted by Mrs. Feng, his complexion was slightly hot in the dark night.

He murmured in a low voice: Inseparable?Is this a couple?
