Quick Wear: Explosive Change! The cannon fodder female supporting role is done with it

Chapter 251: Exiled Man's Sister-in-Law 4 (Two in One)

After the bandaging was completed, it was getting dark and a little boy knocked on the door. Linzhi walked over, opened the door, gave him the calculated silver money, and went back to give it to her mother as a reward for helping with cooking tonight.

The little boy said "thank you sister" and ran away happily with the money.

She carried the lunch box into the room, put it on the table, and opened it. Inside was just simple rice porridge with a faint rice aroma. Liu Zong was surprised that she had thought so carefully. He swallowed it involuntarily. He hadn't had a normal meal of rice porridge for a long time.

"Let's eat." Lin Zhi filled two bowls and sat down.

Liu Zong nodded, picked up the chopsticks, and ate the most satisfying meal with graceful but not slow movements.

After dinner, he wanted to help wash the dishes. Lin Zhi asked him to sit down, so he could only watch her busying on the side. The elegant and noble young lady put on coarse clothes, rolled up her sleeves, washed her hands and cooked soup. Her eyes gradually became dim. If nothing had happened to the Liu family...

Until Lin Zhi washed her hands and closed the door, leaving only the window open, the clear night breeze blew in.

He realized later, is she going to stay here tonight?

His face gradually felt hot, but soon he saw that she had tied a rope outside the bed curtain, covered it with a long cloth, and built a simple bed outside with wooden boards. Only then did he realize that she did not want to sleep in the same bed with him.

Suddenly he remembered the topic of "divorce" that he had discussed so briefly, but his identity could not be discovered now, so he could not divorce her and had to continue dragging her along.

I felt a pang of guilt.

"You go to the bed, I'll sleep here," he said.

Lin Zhi glanced at him, lowered her head and said, "Your injury is not healed yet, let's talk after it heals." She opened the curtain, covering both sides, and said to him, "It's late, go to bed."

Liu Zong had no choice but to go behind the curtain and lie on the bed.

The candle was blown out and the house fell into darkness. The sound of a nightingale came from the forest behind the house, and there were one or two dogs barking in the village. Occasionally, there was the sound of a woman shouting at her children to go to bed quickly, and the sound of her shallow breathing.

Liu Zong's mind was filled with his mother and siblings who had come to the border, his father and brother who had died tragically, and Lin who had suddenly appeared. He did not fall asleep until midnight.

The next day, when the sky was bright, the two had a simple breakfast.

Not long after, the peddler came into the village again, bringing an old doctor carrying a medicine box and knocking on the door of the wooden house. When he saw Lin Zhi, he smiled and said, "Miss Lin, I have brought the doctor you asked for."

The doctor, who was exhausted and panting, smiled and introduced, "This man is Zhang He. He had just arrived at the border. When I saw him, he was wandering on the street and fainted from hunger. I brought him home and found out that he was actually a doctor!"

"He is unfamiliar with the place and is tight-lipped, which meets your requirements."

Lin Zhi raised her eyebrows slightly.

Zhang He also opened his mouth wide, unable to believe it.

Liu Zong stood behind Lin Zhi, looking at Zhang He and not noticing anything unusual, but still warily asked about this man's origins, where he was from, and why he came to the border. His eyes were sharp, and Zhang He didn't dare to look at him. He quietly turned his eyes away and looked into Lin Zhi's eyes again.

Before the peddler could speak, Lin Zhi smiled and said, "Don't worry, I know this person, no problem."

What a coincidence, I actually met Zhang He in such a place. When they encountered the bandits that day, the prince of Anyang asked his men to escort him away, and didn't care about the officers and soldiers and prisoners at all. Later, when Liu Jing helped the officers and soldiers defeat the bandits, the group set off and didn't see them along the way.

Unexpectedly, we met here.

The doctor's scalp was numb, and he didn't dare to look at Liu Zong. He only looked at Lin Zhi and smiled flatteringly: "Mrs. Lin, long time no see."

The peddler was surprised. He looked at Zhang He and then at Lin Zhi, wondering: "Do you know each other?"

Liu Zong was also puzzled. Lin Zhi said to the peddler, "This man is staying here. I feel relieved to have him seeing patients." He handed him a few pieces of silver and said, "Thank you for making this trip for me."

The peddler was very happy to get the silver, but he still looked at Zhang He and asked for his opinion.

Zhang He...can he say no? He showed a smile that was uglier than crying: "Yes, thank you for helping me find an acquaintance. I am willing to stay here with Mrs. Lin Er. Brother, you can go with peace of mind." He shouted in his heart, if you want to go, take me with you, but unfortunately he didn't dare.

Seeing that both parties were satisfied, the peddler said goodbye and happily left with his load.

After everyone left, there were only three people left. Lin Zhi looked at Zhang He with a smile. Zhang He had already sensed that something was wrong and took the initiative to explain without her asking. He had followed the prince that day and fled in panic, but unexpectedly encountered a small group of bandits on the way.

The Prince of Anyang ordered all the guards to protect him as he went to Jincheng. This time, the Prince of Anyang ordered him to come to the border to convey an order to a general in Jincheng, so he left him behind, including the beautiful maid who had been favored by the Prince in the carriage for a few days, to stop the bandits and ran away himself.

They were all powerless and were killed by the bandits, and he barely managed to escape with his life.

He had just arrived in the city a few days ago, but he lost his bag when he was escaping and had no money, so he had to wander on the street and fainted. The peddler saved him. This time, I heard that someone was looking for a doctor and offered to give him silver after the illness was cured.

He thought that he couldn't always rely on the peddler brother, so he agreed to come and have a look...

He smiled and assured: "Second Madam, don't worry, I will definitely help you cure your illness, and I won't charge you a penny."

Lin Zhi smiled: "I'm not sick." She pointed at the man behind her, "Do you know him?"

Zhang He bent his waist, looked up carefully for a long time, shook his head and said in denial: "This young man is very handsome. I will never forget him after seeing him."

Lin Zhi smiled and said, "This man is my husband, the second son of the general's mansion, Liu Zong. Do you recognize him now?"

Zhang He's face froze. He had deliberately said that he didn't know him, so why didn't Madam Lin Er play by the rules and actually told him the identity of Mr. Liu Er.

He laughed dryly: "Yuan, it turned out to be the Second Young Master. I'm glad you're okay."

The smile looks bitter no matter how you look at it.

Lin Zhi was a little amused, but she curled her lips and fiddled with Liu Zong's dagger in her hand, her smile not reaching her eyes: "Although my husband survived, his injuries are serious. You, you have to help him heal, understand?"

Zhang He nodded repeatedly: "Madam, rest assured, I will definitely do it!"

He felt that if he dared to say no, the dagger would be on his neck in the next second.

Lin Zhi smiled and nodded, then turned to look at Liu Zong: "This man has good medical skills. He treated Sanlang's leg on the way. It will be no problem for him to treat your injury."

Liu Zong's eyebrows have been locked since he heard that Zhang He was from Anyang Marquis's Mansion. When he was in the capital, Anyang Marquis's Mansion and the General's Mansion had different political views. Anyang Marquis had always urged His Majesty to let his father hand over the military power, and his son often competed with them and targeted them everywhere. He subconsciously hated his people, but he still listened to Lin's words and nodded.

He believed that Lin Zhi knew the limits.

After Zhang He washed his hands, he examined Liu Zong, took off his clothes, and saw scars of varying sizes all over his body. He took a deep breath and looked at Liu Zong with admiration.

He then untied the cloth strips, revealing knife wounds from the chest to the lower abdomen. The hideous and bloody wounds were shocking.

He leaned in to take a closer look and pressed with his fingers: "The wound was extremely serious, and almost damaged the internal organs. The Second Young Master is lucky to be alive. And this wound... I wonder who treated the young master that day?"

"The technique is not bad, but the doctor probably doesn't understand pharmacology, and the medicine he used is ineffective."

"It has been two and a half months since your accident, but your wounds have not yet shown any signs of healing... I guess the Second Young Master had been running a high fever and was in a coma, and he must have woken up not long ago."

Not getting a response, he looked up in confusion, only to find that the second son of the general's mansion had an extremely ugly expression on his face. He subconsciously shrank his neck. Could it be that he had said something wrong?
Lin Zhi said: "Stop talking nonsense, just treat the injury directly."

Zhang He nodded quickly, without saying anything more, and treated the wound neatly and carefully, applying the wound medicine prepared by Liu's army. He then picked up the brush and wrote a prescription for treatment. Of course, he did not forget to take out the various necessary medicinal materials from the medicine box he brought and gave them to Lin Zhi along with the prescription.

The medicine box and herbs were collected by the peddler's brother, and he kept apologizing to the peddler in his heart.

Now he no longer expects money for medical consultation and medicine, he just hopes that the couple will let him go because he is honest in treating the disease.

Finally, he asked, "Madam Second Young Master, do you need me to boil some medicine?" with a flattering look on his face.

Linzhi didn't understand pharmacology, but she didn't dare to do anything with it, so she handed it back to him and said, "Then you boil it." She had never done it before and didn't understand.

Zhang He... took it honestly and prepared to go out to boil the medicine.

Liu Zong called him, put on his clothes, stood up, took out the medicine residue wrapped in leaves from the basket on the wall and gave it to him: "Take a look, is there any problem?"

Zhang He didn't understand, but he took it anyway, picked up the dregs and looked at them carefully, smelled them, tasted them, and said thoughtfully: "There is nothing wrong with Panax notoginseng, Viola yedoensis, and Honeysuckle. They are all herbs for healing injuries, with the effects of reducing swelling, relieving pain, and stopping bleeding. But for your injury, the efficacy of the medicine must be increased. Wait."

"This is... leech? Turmeric?"

Liu Zong frowned: "What's the difference between these two medicines?"

Zhang He looked at him anxiously: "Although these two medicines can relieve pain, they are more effective in promoting blood circulation. They should not be used by pregnant women. Just like your injury, if you add them, it will cause repeated bleeding and it will be difficult to heal." No wonder he looked at the injury just now. It has been more than two months, but it is still like a new injury.

I don't know who dared to plot against the second young master like this? Could it be an enemy?
Liu Zong's eyes suddenly darkened, and he once again verified Taohua's approach from the doctor, deliberately delaying his recovery from injury. Thinking back to the past two months, he had woken up intermittently each time, only to fall into a coma again because his body could not hold on.

I saw her changing the medicine with my own eyes yesterday, and she accused her of deliberately delaying the treatment of his injury. I no longer trusted her and was worried that there was something else in the medicine, so I collected the residue and asked the doctor to check.

Who would have thought... He thought she was a peasant girl who knew some medical skills but not much.

I didn't expect that she knew much more than he thought, and she could even think of using such a vicious method to make him unconscious until now! I can't go back.

Glancing at the uneasy doctor, he said coldly, "Get out."

Zhang He hurried out.

Lin Zhi looked at him: "Are you okay?"

Liu Zong sat at the table a little tiredly, rubbing his brows: "I just didn't expect that in a small mountain village, someone could plot against me to this extent." The more he thought about it, the more horrified he felt, and even Taohua's simple and honest face became cunning.

Hearing this, Lin Zhi looked at him with pity in her eyes. It was really unexpected that the second son of the general's mansion, a victorious general on the battlefield, was schemed against by a village girl.

"You were seriously injured at the time, and there was nothing you could do even if you found out the truth. Now that Zhang He is here, you can just heal your wounds without worry."

Liu Zong nodded, and suddenly remembered that they encountered bandits on the road. Just as he was about to ask about them in detail, he suddenly saw Taohua running hurriedly outside the door.

Seeing the old doctor boiling medicine outside the house, she immediately asked, "Who are you? Why are you here?"

Liu Zong's eyes darkened: "Miss Taohua!"

Taohua turned around and saw him, her eyes lit up, and she ran over and said, "Liu Lang, I just heard someone say that the peddler brought a doctor into the village. Don't believe him. The doctors outside are not as good as me. You don't need them. I can heal your injuries!"

"I know there is a herb in the mountains that is very effective in treating injuries. I will go get it and your injury will heal soon."

After saying that, she looked at him eagerly.

Liu Zong asked: "Since you knew about this medicine long ago, why did you only tell me now? Moreover, the doctor found turmeric and leeches that can promote blood circulation in the medicine you boiled in the past. How do you explain it?"

Taohua's face went blank, then she reacted: "You picked up the dregs of the medicine I boiled?"

Liu Zong didn't say anything, but his eyes were cold.

Taohua opened her mouth but couldn't say anything for a moment. Her mind was in a mess and she subconsciously cast an angry look at Zhang He who was boiling the medicine. It was all this old doctor's fault for telling her all the medicine she used.

And Liu Lang’s wife, if she hadn’t suddenly appeared, none of this would have happened. She is the one who shouldn’t have appeared!
She bit her lip and cried, begging: "Liu Lang, I, I don't know, Grandpa is just a barefoot doctor, my medical skills are not good, maybe I gave the wrong medicine, Liu Lang, don't be angry, give me another chance, I..."

Liu Zong had seen clearly the resentful look in her eyes when she looked at Lin Zhi. The little gratitude he had felt disappeared, and he said to Lin Zhi, "Give her some silver to thank her for bringing me back, and let the rest be forgiven." Although she did bring him back, he could not forgive her for her subsequent actions.

Lin Zhi glanced at him, walked up to Taohua, and handed her a purse: "Miss Taohua, there is a hundred taels in it, thank you for saving my husband."

If it were the Liu family in the past, five hundred or one thousand would be fine, but now there is too little silver, and one hundred taels is already a lot.

What's more, although he saved someone, based on what Taohua did later, one hundred taels was enough.

Taohua glared at her and opened the purse embroidered with orchids: "I don't want your money!" She looked at Liu Zong, "Liu Lang, don't be angry with me, I really just took the wrong medicine, I, I don't want the money, can you take me with you?"

Lin Zhi picked up the purse on the ground and looked at the girl with an unspeakable expression. Did she have to blame Liu Zong?

Liu Zong frowned and said seriously: "I already have a wife, I will not marry anyone else."

"Then I'll be your concubine!" Taohua said immediately: "In the wealthy families in the city, the masters have concubines in addition to their wives. I don't care about my status and position, and I can be your concubine."
