The old Chinese doctor was also amazed by Wu Luoluo's life - saving medical skills. He quickly nodded in agreement and said, "Yes, Miss Wu. You can definitely stay. Just based on your medical skills! You can really bring benefits to the common people! It's such a waste of talent to be hidden away in the mountains!"
Hearing this, Shangguan Yun was so angry that his nose almost turned crooked.
Wu Luoluo was a bit stunned. She just came to buy some medicine, but unexpectedly, Boss Li had warmly invited her to stay and practice medicine to save people. This didn't seem right, did it? The young master's cold illness wasn't cured yet, and she didn't have the time for this for the moment.
Seeing that these rascals really had ill intentions and wanted to keep his Luoluo! Shangguan Yun was so angry that he even wanted to punch them. But Boss Li was an old acquaintance of Wu's master, so he couldn't afford to offend him! After thinking for a while, he couldn't help but step forward, looking at Wu Luoluo pitifully, and coughed softly, "Luoluo, my feet are so cold... When can we finish buying the medicine and go back?"
Everyone was startled by his deliberately aggrieved voice and all turned to look at them.
Wu Luoluo quickly stood up and asked with concern, "Wait a moment. I'll go buy the medicine right away! Why are you coughing? Did you catch a cold when we went out for dinner just now?"
Everyone: …
Shangguan Yun ignored everyone's constipated expressions and pretended to cough even more violently. He deliberately put on a pitiful look and said obsequiously, "Did I interrupt your communication with the senior about medical skills? How about you continue chatting first, and I'll endure it for a while longer?"
Wu Luoluo quickly replied, "No interruption at all. I'll go buy the medicine right away."
Boss Li, who had seen a lot of people, saw through Shangguan Yun's little thoughts at a glance. He forced a smile and said, "Luoluo, is this your husband? He really looks very handsome! May I be so bold as to ask where your husband works?" This man looked decent, but unfortunately, he was a complete schemer. He wasn't as honest as Wang Jiu!
Wu Luoluo blushed and quickly replied, "Boss Li, don't misunderstand. He's not my husband! He's a distant relative of mine. He's caught a cold illness these days, and I'm helping him recuperate his body. Regarding what you said about me coming here to practice medicine, I don't have the time for the moment. How about we discuss it later when I'm free?"
Distant relative? Hearing this, Shangguan Yun felt as if he had fallen into an ice cave. So in Wu Luoluo's heart, he was just a relative who needed her careful care!
No wonder every time he mentioned that he wanted her to go with him in the future, she avoided answering! It turned out that in her heart, he was just a patient who needed care!
Shangguan Yun suddenly felt the cold all around. The sudden chill made his whole body tremble, and he could hardly stand steadily. He propped himself up on the table and slowly sat down, huddling in the chair and shivering.
Boss Li: Oh! This schemer can really act!
Wu Luoluo quickly wrote down the herbs and their quantities that she needed on a piece of white paper. Boss Li leaned over to take a look and was surprised, "You need such a large amount of these medicines? I don't have that much here!"
Wu Luoluo put down the pen and asked anxiously, "I really need this much medicine to save people. How much can you give me?"
Boss Li sighed, "I only have at most half of this amount in stock. And you can't take it all. I still need some for daily use here."
Wu Luoluo nodded. It was better to have some of these herbs than none at all. Even a quarter of them could last for several days!
Boss Li stood up and went to get the medicine himself. He said to Wu Luoluo, "You can take these medicines back first. I'll ask the medicine merchant to send some more in the next few days. If it's still not enough, I'll send someone to buy some from other colleagues for you."
Wu Luoluo was extremely grateful and kept bowing in thanks.
When she was about to go out after getting the medicine and paying for it, Shangguan Yun was almost unconscious in the chair. Wu Luoluo was greatly shocked and quickly reached out to feel his pulse.
His pulse was chaotic, and his qi and blood were surging. Wu Luoluo was extremely anxious. He was fine just now. Why did this happen? "Young master, how are you?" Wu Luoluo reached out to touch Shangguan Yun's forehead.
Shangguan Yun was breathing rapidly. He leaned back to avoid Wu Luoluo's hand and said coldly, "It's okay. Let's go back." Shangguan Yun tried his best to support himself on the chair and stood up, staggering out of the door.
If you have no feelings for me, why do you always do such things that make me misunderstand and stir my heart?
Wu Luoluo didn't expect Shangguan Yun to avoid her hand. She stood there stunned on the spot. Seeing that he could hardly stand steadily, Wu Luoluo quickly picked up the medicine, said goodbye to Boss Li, and got up to chase after Shangguan Yun.
He stumbled at the door and almost fell. Wu Luoluo was quick - eyed and quick - handed. She grabbed his waist. Shangguan Yun only felt a severe headache. Memories of the past rushed into his mind like a mountain collapsing, squeezing so hard that his head seemed about to explode at any moment.
Wu Luoluo was extremely anxious. She couldn't use acupuncture to knock the young master unconscious in the street. She could only take out the needles and gently twist them behind his ears to relieve his pain a little.
Shangguan Yun waved his hand to interrupt her acupuncture action. His eyes were bloodshot, and he gasped heavily, "I can hold on. Let's go back." At this moment, he just wanted to go back to the inn and lie down to sleep. He didn't want to ask or think about anything.
Wu Luoluo had no choice but to carry the medicine on her back and quickly follow his steps.
They hadn't walked far when a figure suddenly appeared in front of them, blocking their way.
It was Wang Jiu again! This guy was really a ghost that just wouldn't leave!
Shangguan Yun looked up and saw him. He clenched his fists tightly and forcibly resisted the impulse to step forward and punch him. His silver teeth gritted so hard that they made a creaking sound.
Wu Luoluo stepped in front of Shangguan Yun and asked Wang Jiu unhappily, "Why is it you again! What else do you want?"
Wang Jiu glanced at Shangguan Yun and said in a gruff voice to Wu Luoluo, "Luoluo, Mistress still has a high fever. She wants to see you."
Wu Luoluo was anxious, "But I don't have the time for the moment. I really can't spare the time!" The young master's condition was extremely poor. She had to go back and stabilize him first!
Wang Jiu squinted his dead - fish eyes and coldly snorted, "Anyway, Mistress has the kindness of raising you. She's now sick in bed and can't move around easily. Whether it's out of emotion or reason, you should go and take care of her to repay her kindness."
Wu Luoluo looked back at Shangguan Yun's extremely pale face and gritted her teeth, "Where is Mistress now? I'll come to find her after I'm done!"
"Go to the Dongfeng Inn and mention my name." Wang Jiu frowned his slanting eyebrows and snorted, "It's inappropriate for me to help her change her underwear. You have to hurry up! You won't not come until it gets dark, will you?"
Wu Luoluo thought to herself: Haven't you taken off Mistress's clothes enough on weekdays? Why can't you change them now?
Thinking that Mistress had actually treated her not too badly, Wu Luoluo had no choice but to grit her teeth and sigh, "Got it. I'll come before it gets dark."
Only then did Wang Jiu answer and back off.
Shangguan Yun walked back in a daze, gasping for breath and saying coldly, "Wang Jiu has evil intentions. You can't go!"
Wu Luoluo didn't answer. The young master's body was in such a state. How could she have the heart to take care of Mistress? But her senior brother was right. Although Mistress hadn't treated her very well since childhood, she had never treated her harshly either. Whether it was out of emotion or reason, she should go and take care of her!
Seeing Wu Luoluo's indecisive look, Shangguan Yun was really annoyed. He simply didn't look at her and walked back with his head down.
