Yunyi didn’t ask how he got the injury but still reminded him, "With your current condition, it would be best to take a few days off to rest. If it gets infected, the consequences would be unimaginable."
Liu Chenglin naturally took her advice. "I understand."
Looking at the leg dangling over the edge of the kang, the blood that had been drawn out was now back to its normal color. Yunyi said, "Try lifting your leg. See if the feeling has returned?"
Liu Chenglin obediently lifted his leg. "I can feel it. I can lift it."
She stopped his bleeding and then left him a paper packet, saying, "This is a medicinal powder I made myself. It reduces inflammation and relieves pain. You can change the dressing yourself tomorrow."
Liu Chenglin watched Yunyi pack her things. "Thank you, Chu Zhiqing."
Yunyi didn’t say ’you’re welcome.’ After all, if she hadn’t intervened, though the snake venom wouldn’t have been fatal, he would have suffered considerably more.
Liu Chenglin reached into his shirt pocket and pulled out a Big Unity bill. "For the consultation and medicine."
They were neither relatives nor friends, so Yunyi naturally wouldn’t be so charitable as to work for free.
Ordinary detoxification pills and wound medicine wouldn’t cost ten yuan, but hers was different. After all, the water used in the medicine had been diluted with Spatial Well Water, so ten yuan for it was definitely a bargain for him.
Taking the money, she said indifferently, "My medicine will definitely give you more than your money’s worth."
After speaking, she left the room. She didn’t exit through the courtyard door; being cautious was always best, and she didn’t want to attract trouble.
With a running start, she easily climbed onto the wall and quickly returned to her own courtyard.
The next day at work, Yunyi noticed a gaze lingering on her.
Without changing her expression, she glanced over and spotted an unfamiliar young man. Judging by his flippant demeanor, he was clearly no good.
Recognizing who it might be, Yunyi withdrew her gaze. She believed that in the face of absolute strength, all schemes and tricks were futile. If they dared to target her, she would make them regret it to their very core.
The educated youths who had moved out of the Zhiqing Point had previously taken leave and missed work, but today they had all arrived. Newest update provided by N0v3l.Fiɾe.net
Wang Jianhui hurriedly introduced them, "These are the ones I mentioned before—the educated youths who built their own houses and moved out: Lun Huaijing, Tao Yuran, and Guo Aibing."
Wang Jianhui then introduced the new educated youths to these three. Bai Suli and Zhang Kuiwei enthusiastically stepped forward to greet them, but the three remained impassive.
Tao Yuran, however, kept staring at Chuyunyi, who was currently listening to Geng Erhong share village gossip.
She whispered to Lun Huaijing beside her, "I heard the villagers say that the new Chu Zhiqing knows medicine."
Lun Huaijing didn’t speak, but his gaze occasionally swept towards Yunyi. Guo Aibing, however, interjected, "She looks younger than us. I suspect she only knows the basics. Don’t believe the villagers’ idle gossip."
Lun Huaijing glared at Guo Aibing. "Watch your mouth."
The trio’s conversation was crystal clear to Yunyi, but she didn’t take it to heart. Whether she could practice medicine or not wasn’t something she needed to prove to anyone. Over many lifetimes, what others thought of her had never mattered to her.
Starting today, the village began to focus on weeding. This was to prevent the grass from absorbing the nutrients intended for the crops and to stop the weeds from seeding the fields during the autumn harvest.
Previously, tasks were a team effort, and completing the daily quota earned seven work points. Now, however, assignments were individual. The number of work points earned depended on how much land one weeded, and the work had to meet a certain standard to qualify for points. It was quite fair.
