Chapter 24 Shi An felt sorry for him
Song He's eyes gleamed, "I want to be a doctor and treat people's illnesses!"
Shi An was a little surprised. "That's really amazing. However, being a doctor is not easy. You need to keep learning and working hard."
“I know that in another year I will go to the town’s clinic as an apprentice, and I will become a good doctor,” Song He said firmly.
"I believe you."
Song He was a little incredulous, "You really believe me?"
Shi An nodded firmly, "Of course."
Song He was very touched. "You are so kind. My father doesn't support me. He wants me to find a good man to marry, be a good wife and mother. I even had to beg him for three years before he agreed to let me go to the clinic."
Shi An thought for a while and came up with a solution that satisfied both sides: "Then you can marry a doctor and have your wife teach you medicine."
"That's right!!" Song He clapped her hands excitedly, "How come I didn't think of that? That way my dad won't object."
"Brother Shi'an, you're so kind!!"
The two smiled at each other, as if they could see a bright future for each other.
In the quiet night, their laughter mingled together, accompanied by the moonlight, and drifted throughout the small house.
The next morning, before dawn, Chu Ci got out of the tent and went to the nearby stream to wash his face.
The campfire that was lit last night has long since gone out, and a cold atmosphere permeates the surroundings.
Chu Ci stood up, stretched, and felt the fresh air.
She looked around, her gaze finally settling on the mountaintop.
It's a good opportunity to go hiking and get some exercise.
So she quickly packed up the tent and set off towards the top of the mountain without hesitation.
After a strenuous climb, Chu Ci reached the summit an hour later.
As she approached the edge of the mountaintop and looked down, the sight before her astonished her. Due to the cloud cover, it seemed as if the view stretched endlessly into the distance.
"Huh? What's that?" Chu Ci's eyes, which had been somewhat dazed, suddenly lit up as she saw a bright red amidst the grayness ahead.
She squinted and observed carefully, discovering that the red color seemed to be a flower.
Chu Ci found this flower very peculiar, because she had never seen such a variety in her previous world.
Moreover, it must be very precious to grow on such steep cliffs!
Chu Ci's heart stirred, and she decided to pluck it.
She took a long rope out of her backpack, tied one end firmly to a huge tree on the mountaintop, and the other end tightly around her waist.
Then, she carefully and slowly slid down the cliff.
As she drew closer to the red flower, Chu Ci became even more cautious. However, just as she was about to reach her destination, she discovered that the rope was not long enough.
"......Fine."
Looking at the red flower so close to her, Chu Ci hesitated for a moment before gritting her teeth and making a bold decision—she untied the rope around her waist, grabbed it with one hand, and leaned forward to grab the red flower.
Just as she was pulling the red flower off the cliff, an accident occurred.
The stone beneath her feet suddenly loosened, and she began to fall rapidly!
Fortunately, Chu Ci reacted quickly and grabbed the rope tightly, but because she used too much force, her previous wound reopened, and she winced in pain.
At the same time, the toes quickly found a new position and moved to another fixed point.
At that moment, a fierce wind howled across the mountaintop, making her sway precariously.
But after some effort, Chu Ci finally regained his balance.
She took a deep breath, drained the last bit of internal energy from her body, and used her lightness skill to climb to the top of the mountain as lightly as a bird.
Standing atop the mountain, Chu Ci sighed softly. Her inner strength had only recovered to one-tenth, and she feared she would be unable to cope if she encountered danger again.
If she hadn't reacted quickly, she would probably have fallen off the cliff and died by now.
Chu Ci found a large rock to sit on and carefully examined the vibrant flower in her hand.
The petals were still covered with glistening dewdrops and emitted a captivating fragrance.
She carefully placed the flowers into her backpack and got up to go home. On her way down the mountain, Chu Ci encountered a kind-looking old man.
A hint of surprise flashed in her eyes when she saw the red flower in Chu Ci's hand.
Chu Ci asked curiously why, and the old man explained that this safflower was an extremely rare medicinal herb with very high medicinal value and was very precious.
Upon hearing this, Chu Ci was secretly delighted.
High risk, high reward.
She thanked the old man gratefully and quickened her pace home.
The descent was swift, and Chu Ci returned home before nightfall.
She gently pushed open the courtyard gate and saw Shi An sitting inside, engrossed in embroidery, unaware of her arrival.
So she carefully put down the basket on her back, tiptoed to the window, and then suddenly shouted, "Hey!"
"Ah!!" Shi An was startled by the sudden sound, and the needle in her hand accidentally pricked her finger, and blood flowed out instantly.
Chu Ci's heart tightened suddenly. Without hesitation, she quickly climbed through the window and jumped into the room, asking with concern, "Are you alright?"
She hurriedly took out a handkerchief and carefully bandaged Shi'an's wound, her face full of regret and self-blame.
"I shouldn't have scared you just now, it's all my fault."
Shi An gently shook her head and said with a smile, "It's not your fault, it was my own carelessness."
He gazed at Chu Ci, a hint of surprise in his eyes, and said softly, "You're finally back."
Chu Ci nodded and happily told him, "Today I went up the mountain and picked a very precious flower, which will definitely sell for a lot of money. I also hunted a nice pelt. This trip was worthwhile."
Shi An smiled gently and then asked, "Is my wife injured?"
Chu Ci hesitated for a moment, and Shi An keenly sensed that something was wrong, so he frowned slightly.
"Are you injured?!" Shi An asked anxiously.
Chu Ci felt a little guilty, "It's...just a minor injury..."
"No, let me see."
Chu Ci shook her head, not intending to tell Shi An the truth, "It's really just a minor injury, no need to look at it."
However, Shi An insisted, "No, I have to watch it. If I don't, I'll keep worrying."
Seeing that her husband would not compromise, Chu Ci felt somewhat helpless.
Her injury proved her inadequacy, and she didn't want to expose it to Shi An.
However, Shi An didn't give her time to think. She immediately took action, quickly tearing off Chu Ci's clothes and eagerly searching for the location of the wound.
"Where exactly is it?" Shi An was clearly getting anxious.
Seeing his nervousness and worry, Chu Ci had no choice but to answer truthfully, honestly showing the wound, "It's on my arm, but I've already applied medicine."
Upon seeing the wound, Shi An was immediately heartbroken and her eyes welled up with tears.
He carefully examined the wound, as if he could feel the pain Chu Ci was enduring.
