Chapter 189: The Peasant Girl’s Splendid Manor
Chapter 189: Almost Caught in a Dilemma (8)
Mo Yan felt warm in her heart as Xin'er helped her apply the ointment. After it was applied, her face felt cool and comfortable, although the smell wasn't very pleasant.
When Xin'er noticed the scars all over Mo Yan's body, she couldn't help but burst into tears.
Mo Yan had to comfort her for a while, teasing her as a 'crybaby', before Xin'er wiped away her tears in embarrassment.
"Sister, please don't go to the mountains anymore. If you accidentally fall again and hurt yourself, Xin'er will really cry to death."
Mo Yan patted her head, smiling without saying a word.
After Xin'er left, Mo Yan quickly picked up pen and paper to sketch the tools needed for gall extraction. Besides the surgical knife for incisions, there were also needles and drainage tubes.
The surgical knife and needles were relatively easy to obtain, given the craftsmanship of this era. However, without plastic, it was challenging to make drainage tubes. They needed to find suitable materials to substitute.
Late at night, a dark shadow drifted into Mo's small courtyard. It took out a white porcelain bottle from its bosom and placed it at the door before swiftly leaving the Mo residence. Apart from the quiet moon overhead, no one knew that someone had been there.
"Hmm, who left this at the door?" Li Zhong, who woke up early, saw the white porcelain bottle on the ground. There were no words on the bottle, but when he opened it and sniffed, a cool and fragrant aroma lingered in his nostrils.
Without needing to try it, Li Zhong knew it was something good.
Thinking of his Mo Yan's injury, Li Zhong's face showed a hint of surprise. He quickly picked up the porcelain bottle and handed it to Mo Yan when she woke up.
Mo Yan took the white porcelain bottle and knew immediately who had sent it. A strange feeling surged in her heart.
Facing Li Zhong's puzzled gaze, she quickly dispelled that strange feeling and pretended to be pleasantly surprised. "Who's so kind to send such a good medicine? Could it be that the Bodhisattva knew I was injured and specially sent down this divine medicine? That would be wonderful!"
Li Zhong's eye twitched, suddenly feeling that "Miss" wasn't so reliable. However, seeing her reaction, she seemed genuinely unaware of who had sent it, so he felt reassured.
Taking the bottle back to her room, Mo Yan let Xin'er apply it to her. Compared to the ointment applied yesterday, this one looked more delicate, and most importantly, it didn't have that pungent smell. Instead, it smelled quite pleasant.
After applying the ointment, Mo Yan clearly felt its effect. The slight pain was significantly reduced. She looked at the bottle, and a strange feeling unexpectedly surged within her heart.
Thinking about the upgrade of the space, Mo Yan hadn't planned to go to the mountains recently. She decided to stroll around the streets. Maybe she could do some good deeds, accumulate some merit, and then go to the blacksmith shop to have the surgical knife and needles made.
Xiao Hua was too conspicuous, so Mo Yan didn't want to bring it along. However, Xiao Hua had never gone shopping with her and insisted on tagging along, acting as if it would cry if she didn't take it.
Mo Yan had no choice but to promise it various benefits before it reluctantly agreed.
Walking out of the house, Mo Yan aimlessly wandered the streets. She didn't know if it was because the public security in the capital was good, or because there were fewer incidents during the day, but she hadn't encountered anyone in need of help even after an hour.
There were some beggars on the street, but it wasn't easy to help them. Either she had to support them for a lifetime or find them a job to make a living, neither of which she could easily solve at the moment.
Just as Mo Yan was planning to stroll around a bit more and then find a shop to eat something, there was a commotion ahead, attracting a crowd of onlookers.
