Chapter 194: Chapter 194: Who Did You Learn From? Chapter 194: Chapter 194: Who Did You Learn From? “…”
Su Yunjin glared at Gu Ya.
Gu Ya smiled and headed to the privy by himself.
Su Yunjin fetched a basin of water. As soon as Gu Ya emerged, she said, “Wash your hands!” Gu Ya looked down at the basin of water in his little wife’s hands.
He was momentarily surprised.
But he didn’t say anything,
and simply plunged his hands into the basin for a quick rinse.
After washing his hands, Su Yunjin passed him a clean cloth, “Dry them off!” This time, Gu Ya followed his little wife’s instructions and used the cloth to dry his hands.
Only when Gu Ya’s hands were dry did Su Yunjin continue to help him back into the house. And just like before, Gu Ya carried his little wife back the way he had come.
Finally getting Gu Ya back in bed and lying down was no easy task for Su Yunjin, who felt anything but mildly exhausted. This man certainly required a lot of attention.
She inwardly grumbled about Gu Ya.
Then Su Yunjin started preparing to apply the medicine to Gu Ya’s leg.
Taking a handful of the prepared medicinal mud, Su Yunjin smeared it onto the broken part of Gu Ya’s leg. The coolness of the mud brought relief to Gu Ya’s leg.
Looking down at his little wife, Gu Ya asked, “Yunjin, what herbs did you use to make this medicinal mud?”
“Do you want to know?” Su Yunjin continued to apply the medicine without pausing, spreading the freshly grabbed herb evenly on Gu Ya’s leg, then grabbed another handful to apply.
While applying the medicine, she explained to Gu Ya, “This medicinal mud is a mixture of several herbs, including Angelica Dahurica, Pinellia, and Ligusticum striatum. In a short while, your leg won’t hurt anymore.”
“Really?” Gu Ya was skeptical.
Su Yunjin shot him a glance, “Why would I lie to you?”
Gu Ya didn’t respond.
Yet he wondered to himself where his little wife had learned such skills for treating injuries. Could it possibly be from his father-in-law?
Was this what she used when treating the legs of cattle?
Unaware of Gu Ya’s thoughts,
Su Yunjin knew that the medicinal mud had analgesic, stasis-dispelling, and anti-inflammatory properties. It could not only be applied to the broken area of Gu Ya’s leg but also to the wounds he sustained when he fell down the mountain.
She took the opportunity to smear the medicine on those wounds as well.
Gu Ya had wounds on his leg.
When Su Yunjin first applied the medicine to Gu Ya’s wounds, he winced slightly. She looked up and asked him, “Does it hurt a bit?”
Gu Ya didn’t make a sound when his leg broke,
let alone show signs of such minor pain.
Having finished applying the medicine to the first leg, Su Yunjin moved onto the other, saying, “The medicine might sting a bit when initially applied to the wound, but in less than half an hour it’ll be better. Afterward, not only will the wounds stop hurting, they will also heal faster.”
“Yunjin, did you learn all these skills from your dad?” Finally giving in to curiosity, Gu Ya asked the question that was on his mind, staring at Su Yunjin.
It took Su Yunjin a moment to respond, “Hm?”
“Is it not the case?” Gu Ya probed tentatively.
Su Yunjin realized what Gu Ya was getting at. She had previously told him about learning how to treat cattle’s legs from her father.
That’s why Gu Ya was asking.
With a secret chuckle, Su Yunjin replied, “Correct, I indeed learned these skills from my dad.” Since Gu Ya wanted to believe that, let him think she had cured him as if he were a cow.
