Fang Zhihong stood up and extended his hand towards Su Jinyue. “Hello, Jinyue! Please teach me more in the future.”
Su Jinyue shook Fang Zhihong’s hand. “Hello, Dr. Fang! I wouldn’t dare to teach you.”
“Don’t be so formal, just call me Zhihong from now on.” Fang Zhihong smiled and retracted his hand. Su Jinyue’s aura was very special, and she exuded elegance from within. He had seen many girls, but there were very few like her.
Su Jinyue didn’t stand on ceremony. “In that case, I won’t be so formal with you. You can chat with Teacher, I’ll go in and rest for a while.”
“Okay!” Fang Zhihong nodded and continued the conversation with Xu Tiansheng.
After returning to her room, Su Jinyue lay on the bed and fell into a deep sleep.
When she woke up again, she realized that it was already dark outside. She lazily stroked her messy hair. “I slept for quite a long time.” It was probably because she had used too much inner Qi last night.
She got up and walked out of the room. Then, she went to the well and fetched a pail of water. After washing up briefly, she saw that the light in the main room was on. There were sounds of people talking and laughing inside, so she walked in.
Xu Tiansheng was drinking and chatting with Fang Zhihong, when he saw Su Jinyue come in. “Let’s have dinner.” He planned to let her sleep a little longer and call her later.
“Okay!” Su Jinyue responded and walked towards the kitchen.
When Su Jinyue came out with the rice and sat down, Xu Tiansheng said, “I’m going to the mountain with Zhihong to pick herbs tomorrow.”
“Teacher, why don’t I go with Zhihong?” Su Jinyue suggested. Her Teacher had been in a bad mood because of Song Yiren and hadn’t had a good night’s sleep. Given his condition, it really wasn’t suitable for him to go up the mountain to pick herbs.
Xu Tiansheng took a sip of wine, picked up the wine bottle, and poured himself another cup. “You don’t need to worry. My body isn’t that weak.” Needless to say, he knew that Jinyue was worried about him.
“I’ll take good care of Uncle Xu. Don’t worry,” Fang Zhihong said.
Su Jinyue nodded. “Teacher, don’t drink so much. You still have to go up the mountain tomorrow.” She knew her Teacher’s temper. It was difficult for others to change his mind.
Xu Tiansheng picked up a peanut and put it into his mouth. He smiled and said, “I won’t drink anymore after I finish this cup. Oh right, I heard that you were the one who operated on San Ni last night.” He was very clear about Jin Yue’s medical skills. Ordinary minor surgeries wouldn’t be a problem, but a major surgery like a cesarean section wasn’t something she could handle.
“When we were there, the two doctors on duty at the Obstetrics and Gynecology department were performing surgeries. Sister San Ni’s condition was very dangerous, so I had no choice but to do it myself,” Su Jinyue explained in embarrassment. If not for the fact that she had inner Qi and could see San Ni’s child using her X-ray vision, she would not have dared to operate on San Ni.
Xu Tiansheng rolled his eyes at Su Jinyue and shook his head helplessly. “You’re lucky this time. You can’t do this again in the future. If someone dies, you won’t be able to bear the responsibility.” He knew that Jin Yue had good intentions, but if something happened, no one would care if she had good intentions.
“I understand, Teacher,” Su Jinyue replied. If she did not have full confidence, she would not have gotten involved in such a messy situation.
Time flew by, and in the blink of an eye, it was already late autumn. The leaves on the trees had turned golden yellow. A gust of autumn wind blew past, and the leaves drifted down.
Su Jinyue was explaining the medicine to the patient when a shout came from outside. “Is Su Jinyue home? There’s a letter for you.”
A look of surprise flashed across Su Jinyue’s eyes when she heard the shout. “Wait a moment.” After she said that to the patient, she quickly walked out of the house. Yihan must have sent her another letter. For the past month, she would receive Yihan’s letter every five to six days.
When the mailman saw Su Jinyue come out, he took out a receipt and handed it to her. “Sign this.”
Su Jinyue took the receipt and quickly signed her name before handing it back to the mailman.
The postman put down the receipt and took out a small package and a letter from his mail bag. He handed it to Su Jinyue. “This is your package and letter. Please confirm it.”
Su Jinyue took the small package and the letter from him. When she saw the name of the sender on the post, sweetness filled her heart. “It’s mine, thank you!”
She took out a letter from her pocket and handed it to the mailman. “Help me post this letter.” Every time Yihan sent a letter, she would send a letter back.
“Dr Su, it’s another letter from the Zhan family’s son, right? It’s good to be young!” Sister Li teased when she saw Su Jinyue entering the house with a small package and letter.
Su Jinyue nodded shyly and placed the package and letter into the drawer. She continued to explain the order of taking the medicine and the things to take note of.
After Sister Li left, Su Jinyue immediately took out the letter from the drawer and opened it.
When she opened the letter and saw the crooked handwriting on it, Su Jinyue frowned. She knew very well what Yihan’s handwriting was like. This handwriting was so ugly. His hand must have been injured.
Looking at the contents of the letter, Su Jinyue’s brows slowly relaxed.
Jin Yue:
It has been a month and three days since we parted ways. During this period of time, I deeply understood the essence of the phrase ‘one day apart seems like three years’. Every day, other than missing you, I still miss you…
“I miss you too.” A sweet smile appeared on Su Jinyue’s face. If she had a pair of wings, she really wanted to fly to his side right now.
“Who are you thinking about?” Fang Zhihong said in a teasing voice. “I understand now. You must be thinking of Zhan Yihan, right?” He had gotten used to life in the new village during this month. The mountains here were nice, the water was nice, and the scenery was beautiful. He really liked this place. Moreover, Xu Tiansheng and Su Jinyue treated him very well, just like family.
With a red face, Su Jinyue rolled her eyes at Fang Zhihong. She folded the letter and placed it back into the envelope. “Where’s Teacher?” She would read it slowly after she returned to her room.
“We met Uncle Liu on our way back. His old arthritic legs are acting up again. Uncle Xu is performing acupuncture on him.” Fang Zhihong removed the basket on his back and placed it on the table.
Su Jinyue felt a trace of spiritual energy in the basket and looked at it in surprise.
“Uncle Xu and I dug up a ginseng in the mountain today. Uncle Xu said that this ginseng is at least a hundred years old. Look.” As he spoke, Fang Zhihong took out a ginseng as thick as a carrot from the basket on his back. The ginseng had thick roots and its main root was short and thick. It looked like a human body.
“Let me take a look.” The moment Su Jinyue saw the ginseng, she knew that the spiritual energy she felt was coming from this ginseng. These days, she has not stopped cultivating. She had also gone up the mountain several times to search, but she had never found anything that contained spiritual energy.. Although her strength had improved a little, her speed was still very slow.
