The Otherworldly God

Chapter 24 Qi Ling Knows the Truth

"Doctor Bai Baizhi, please take a look at it quickly."

Le Zheng Shuiling's nervous look made Bai Zhi think that something had happened again, so she quickly put down what she was doing.

"what happened?"

Seeing Bai Zhi staring at her, Le Zheng Shui Ling waved her hands hurriedly and said, "It's not me, it's Brother Yu Hua. Isn't he burned? Last time you said that he needs to rest for a long time. After today's tossing and turning, he may not be well. I saw him sweating a lot during the written test."

Bai Zhi heaved a sigh of relief when she heard it was Le Zheng Yuhua. She told Le Zheng Shuiling not to be nervous and brought Le Zheng Yuhua into the house.

"I'm going to check his wound now."

Bai Zhi deliberately glanced at Le Zheng Shui Ling. Le Zheng Shui Ling was totally unaware of the signal she had given to chase them away, and seemed to be looking forward to it.

"It's okay. Just take a look."

Bai Zhi could only say bluntly again: "You guys go out and wait first."

"It's okay, we can still help you."

"It's not appropriate for a girl like you to stay." Seeing that Le Zheng and Qi Ming wanted to say that they could stay because they were boys, Bai Zhi immediately pushed them away and said, "If you keep watching like this, I'm afraid Yu Hua won't treat me well."

"why?"

"I'm afraid you'll get worried after seeing this, so you guys go out and wait first, so that Yuhua won't have to worry about you."

Le Zheng Shuiling looked at Le Zheng Yuhua, and he seemed to really want them to leave.

"Then let's go out first."

Le Zheng Qiming pulled Le Zheng Shuiling outside. They thought they couldn't see anything because of the door curtain, but they didn't expect Bai Zhi to close the door directly.

Such a nervous look made Le Zheng Shuiling even more worried.

"Qi Ming, do you think Brother Yuhua's injury is serious? During the written test today, I saw him sweating profusely. He didn't have much appetite for lunch, so he just ate a few mouthfuls."

"Don't worry, Doctor Baizhi will cure Brother Yuhua."

"Ah."

Bai Zhi heaved a sigh of relief after closing the door.

"Thank you."

"You're welcome. We're just helping each other keep it secret."

"I'm still very grateful. After all, you're trying to be so secretive in order to help me."

Bai Zhi came over and touched his forehead, then took his pulse.

"Do you still feel weak?"

"some."

"Are you sweating?"

"Yes."

"After sweating, you should change your wet clothes immediately. You are still hot and weak, so you are prone to catching cold."

“I didn’t have a chance to change.”

Upon hearing this, Bai Zhi understood what he meant and showed an apologetic expression.

"It's my fault that I am limited in my abilities and couldn't completely heal your body."

"Don't blame yourself, doctor. You have helped me a lot."

"You sit down first."

Bai Zhi got up and went outside, but did not see Le Zheng Shui Ling and Le Zheng Qi Ming. It turned out that Le Zheng Shui Ling was curious about the herbs in the winnowing basket and was looking around. When she saw Bai Zhi coming out, she immediately withdrew her hand and ran over.

"how was it?"

"The clothes are dirty, and a lot of pus has come out. Go get some clean clothes, and ask the female doctor to boil a basin of moxa leaf water... bring it here."

"Qiming, go get your clothes. I'll go find the doctor."

"I'll see if there's anything suitable."

"Ah."

Seeing how worried they were about Le Zheng Yuhua, Bai Zhi smiled with relief.

"It's been a long time since I've seen young people like this in Lezheng. If it were you, maybe you could really change the future of Lezheng."

Not long after Baizhi returned to the room, Le Zheng Shuiling came over with a basin of hot mugwort water, and Baizhi took the medicine from the door.

"This is mugwort. This herb is easy to grow, and Huichuntang has planted a lot of it. It has many benefits and is easy to use. It can even be used for foot baths, baths, and fumigations."

"Hanging mugwort on Dragon Boat Festival can ward off evil spirits."

"Can hanging mugwort on Dragon Boat Festival ward off evil spirits?"

Le Zheng Yuhua finally reacted and said what he was thinking.

"I heard about it, but I don't know what it means."

"Oh."

Knowing that he was lying, Bai Zhi didn't ask any more questions. Since he didn't say anything, there was no need to make herself embarrassed.

Bai Zhi was wiping his body with mugwort water when Le Zheng Shui Ling suddenly rushed in with clothes. They both forgot that the door was open and Le Zheng Qi Ming had no time to stop her.

"Shui Ling..."

"Brother Yuhua's injury..."

Bai Zhi was stunned for a moment and didn't know how to respond. After all, she had seen too many tragedies among her tribesmen. The cloth slipped from her hands and was caught by Le Zheng Yuhua.

"Close the door."

Le Zheng Yuhua and Le Zheng Qiming both reacted quickly. Before closing the door, Le Zheng Qiming even looked to see if there was anyone outside. Le Zheng Qiming also held the door open and did not leave.

"Everything is fine?"

Le Zheng Shui Ling didn't know why she felt angry. It was obviously something worth being happy about that Le Zheng Yuhua's injuries had healed.

"Shui Ling..."

Le Zheng Qiming came over and watched her, afraid that she would do something stupid.

"I'm sorry I couldn't tell you for some reason."

Unexpectedly, Le Zheng Yuhua apologized so straightforwardly and did not have the slightest intention of fooling them. Le Zheng Shuiling also knew that there was a reason for this and her anger subsided a lot.

"We don't accept it. Since we all know it, we should at least know the reason. Otherwise, how can we keep it a secret from you?"

"I agree with what Shui Ling said."

Seeing their sincere expressions, Le Zheng Yuhua still frowned and asked: "If someone risked her life to heal my wounds, do you think I should betray her?"

Le Zheng Shuiling pondered for a moment and shook his head.

"Then we won't ask who it is." She looked at Bai Zhi, and thought she saw through that person and it was Bai Zhi, but she said: "But even if the doctor wants to cooperate with you in acting, you have to let her know. After all, we are good friends, and you should tell us. You don't know, don't know how worried we are... about you."

Le Zheng Qiming originally thought that Le Zheng Shuiling had guessed Bai Zhi, but when the result turned out to be like this, he didn't know how to express his thoughts.

"Then it's best if only a few of us know about this. Shui Ling, you have to be careful. It's not easy to cooperate in acting."

"Don't worry, I'm not you, stupid Qi Ming." She walked closer to Le Zheng Yuhua and handed the clothes to him, saying, "This is Qi Ming's clothes. I don't know if it fits you, so just wear it for now."

"What do you mean by make do? This is the new clothes I prepared for my apprenticeship as a Taoist priest."

"Why do you want these clothes? When we become apprentice Taoists, all our clothes will be made by the clothing workshop and will be exactly the same."

"That's right."

Le Zheng Qiming smiled foolishly and scratched his head.

"I told you you're stupid, you're really stupid."

"I'm smarter than you."

"You're stupid."

"You're stupid."

"You're just stupid."

……

As a result, the two of them started arguing, and in the end, Le Zheng Shuiling started to quarrel, and Le Zheng Qiming admitted defeat. Bai Zhi and Le Zheng Yuhua were both amused by them.
