Chapter 1137: Chapter 363: Two Wedding Invitations, Being a Bridesmaid_2

During this period, treating patients from several villages, though Mo Yan was exhausted, the rewards were substantial. In addition to becoming increasingly precise in prescribing medicines, she also accumulated a great deal of merit, which delighted Xuetuan so much that it became diligent all of a sudden, ceaselessly harvesting and storing grain in the space. The vast granary that it had carved out was stuffed full to the brim.

On this day, the sky cleared completely, and the long-absent sun finally broke through the layers of clouds, hanging high in the sky. The brilliant sunshine was even more dazzling than in summer, shining on the vast expanse of snow and reflecting blinding light.

However, the gloom that hung over people’s hearts had not dissipated, simply because the rising temperatures melted the snow, causing floods in many places. Many adobe houses, which hadn’t been crushed by the snow, had their foundations soaked and weakened by floodwaters, leading to collapses. Fortunately, there were no crops in the fields this season; otherwise, the losses would have been even more severe.

Liu Yang Village was situated on higher ground, and with the Xiaoqing River diverting some of the floodwater, the impact was minimal. The Mo Family’s land was even higher, and when their house was built, the underground drainage system was constructed well, so the surging snow water from the mountains did not affect them at all.

Outside the house, snowmelt trickled down the eaves, weaving into the sound of a ticking symphony. Mo Yan sat in the clinic, earnestly taking the pulse of the middle-aged man sitting opposite her.

"Little Divine Doctor, how much longer until I can remove the cloth from my head?" Seeing Mo Yan withdraw her hand, the middle-aged man pointed to the cotton strip wrapped around the back of his head and asked cautiously.

Mo Yan didn’t answer directly but asked the middle-aged man a few more questions. After getting precise answers, she said, "Your body is no longer in serious condition, and the cloth can be removed at any time. However, the current damp and cold weather is rather severe, and your wound has not completely healed. You could easily invite evil winds, so you should keep it wrapped after changing the medicine every day. Remove it only after seven more days."

"Yes, yes, thank you, Little Divine Doctor, thank you," the middle-aged man said, overjoyed to hear that his body was fine. He took out twenty wen money for the consultation and medicine fees from his pocket and placed them on the table while thanking Mo Yan.

After the middle-aged man left, Mo Yan picked up the twenty wen and put them in the drawer, then stood up to check the pulses of three seriously injured patients in the next room.

These three had been injured two days earlier: two had been hit on the head by collapsing houses, and one had his legs broken by a rock rolling down the mountain while he was cutting timber to repair his house. Their injuries were so severe that they were at constant risk of infection and potential death. Mo Yan had let them stay so she could treat them more conveniently. Each of them had family members attending to them, and their needs for eating and relieving themselves did not have to be managed by the Mo Family.

As Mo Yan changed the dressing for the man with the broken legs, a young man sitting at the corner of the bed asked in a low voice, "Little Divine Doctor, when can my dad’s injury heal? Can he go home and slowly recuperate?"

The young man was the injured man’s eldest son and was just over twenty. It was his turn to take care of his father today, but he had been acting like a lord all morning, constantly complaining to his father, who was weak and feeble in bed, about the cost of treatment.

"If you wish for your dad to spend the rest of his life lying in bed, you can take him home right now," Mo Yan said indifferently, without even looking at the young man.

The young man gave a sheepish smile and quickly dismissed the idea of taking his father home. His father was skilled at carpentry and earned a substantial income for the family each year. Although his treatment was costing a fair amount of silver now, it was nothing compared to what he could earn.

Thinking this way in his heart, he still complained aloud, "Little Divine Doctor, I really have no choice. My family depends solely on me, with the elderly and young ones to support. Not only can my father not work due to his broken leg, but we also have to spend a considerable amount on his treatment. We truly can’t afford any more silver; it’s really worrying me!"

Finally lifting her head, Mo Yan stared coldly at the young man, who instinctively lowered his head before she spoke, "Are you suggesting that my fees are too high? If that’s the case, you can take your dad to the city’s medical hall and have the doctors there treat him."

The young man was startled, slapped his own mouth and hastily apologized to Mo Yan, "No, no, Little Divine Doctor, I misspoke, please don’t take it to heart. We have complete confidence in the treatment my father is receiving from you. We won’t go to the city, we really won’t."

Just kidding, everything costs money in the city, including food, drink, and even a free room for the old man to stay in. The city doctors charge much more, and if you encounter an unscrupulous one, you could end up being fleeced even more. He’d be a fool to bring his father to the city.
