Chapter 31 Heart to Heart
On this day, Pei Ning visited nine wealthy households in succession.
Except for someone from the Li family who was injured, there were no other casualties, and they were too kind to be polite.
Since then, no one in Huaxi County is reluctant to sell, food prices have stabilized, and victims outside the city have enough food to satisfy their hunger.
Lin Bai rode on a donkey and followed the whole process, watching everyone.
A person's character can be roughly seen from the way and style he behaves.
In Lin Bai's opinion, Pei Ning should have given good advice to the nine wealthy families in the past two days, but they were local snakes and had no intention of giving Pei Ning face.
Then Pei Ning brought someone to the door today, without even talking to the Li family, and just took action.
This time, she was polite before fighting, which showed that she was not a cruel person, but changed her mind after the negotiation failed.
It can be seen that Pei Ning is methodical in her work, but if she encounters a stubborn person, she does not care about blood.
And he is completely reckless, or extremely confident, and not afraid of being a child at all.
Lin Bai saw her take action twice. She was much faster than Jiang Rong with her sword, and her light skills were even more impressive. She was like a ghost, and her movements were as light as a ghost. When she landed on the horse's back, the horse did not move at all.
"You are so young, you have already reached the first-class level, right? What kind of genius is this?" Lin Bai thought silently, feeling that he couldn't afford to offend him.
But what does she mean by doing this? Leave me, an outlaw, alone, and come here to draw the blood of rich people? For the sake of the people?
If that's the case, it's worthy of respect.
Lin Bai couldn't figure it out and just wanted to wait and see.
After finishing the work, Peining led the people back to the county government office.
Lin Bai did not dare to follow him anymore, nor did he ask Peining to resign in person. After getting off the donkey, he handed it over to a quickie beside him and headed back to the hospital.
He hadn't gone very far with the medicine box when the policeman caught up with him again.
"The noble man said that you should go to the county office after work. Remember to bring the medicine box." The policeman said nothing and left in a hurry.
Why are you still going? Bring a medicine kit? Want to be a human pig again?
Lin Bai was very helpless. She was a doctor who had just entered the profession. It was not an exaggeration to call her a quack, but she was reused... Or maybe, what she needed was a quack, and she had no intention of giving people a good look at their injuries?
Thinking about it carefully, Lin Bai felt that Pei Ning was probably preparing for the night.
Although those nine families all paid the grain honestly, they must be unconvinced.
Rich people from aristocratic families in places like this are used to being domineering and have a very narrow vision. How could you not come back with revenge after being angry for a moment?
"So, Sister Pei will continue to cause trouble, not me. If you go over tonight, you should still treat the injury..."
"In charge of both killing and burying, Sister Pei can be considered a noble person."
Lin Bai was impressed in his heart.
On the way back, Lin Bai remembered that he still owed Xiuxiu two candied haws, so he bought five from a street vendor.
The other three are one for me and two for Sister Zhen.
Not far away, I smelled the braised aroma and thought of what I had seen and heard today, so I bought two pig trotters.
Wrap them in oil paper and put them in the medicine box.
Instead of going back to the hospital directly, Lin Bai went to Sister Zhen's house first.
When she opened the door, her hair was disheveled and her eyes were blank, as if she had been thinking about something important.
"Why are you back now?" Sister Zhen blocked the door, not letting Lin Bai in.
"For you." Lin Bai said, opened the medicine box and took out two candied haws wrapped in oil paper and a pig's trotter.
"You little heartless boy, this is the first time you have bought something for me!" Mu Zhen suddenly smiled.
Lin Bai's old face turned red. He really had never thought about these gadgets before. He only thought about getting stronger and whether he was safe around him.
"Who are the rest for?" Mu Zhen took the candied haws and pig's trotters and looked at the oil paper bag in the medicine box.
"This is for Xiu Xiu. She is very greedy and is not willing to spend money." Lin Bai smiled.
"Don't you have a crush on her?" Mu Zhen frowned.
"How old is she?" Lin Bai also frowned.
"You will be an adult in two years. Doctor Bai wants you to take over the pharmacy. Could it be that Xiuxiu just ignores it? He doesn't mean to give you a child bride, right?" Mu Zhen spoke sharply.
"Stop thinking nonsense." Lin Bai shook his head repeatedly. "You are just thinking nonsense every day." Mu Zhen smiled, as if she had a deep meaning.
"..." Lin Bai sighed and said, "Sister Zhen, I'm very scared."
"I think you are very courageous sometimes." Mu Zhen said again.
"If you can be safe and secure, with no worries about food and clothing, who would be willing to be bold enough to do something?" Lin Bai said helplessly.
"At least you should be relaxed at home and don't think about the mess." Mu Zhen said.
Is this a sign that there is no need to worry about her? Lin Bai looked at Mu Zhen, nodded and said, "I understand."
"Can I leave food for you tonight?" Mu Zhen asked with a smile.
"I got an order from the county government, and I'll probably have to go back very late tonight. You..." Lin Bai hesitated.
"I'll just wait for you." Mu Zhen gently bit down a candied haws, "Go and do your own business."
"Yeah."
Lin Bai turned around and left, walked a few steps, turned around, and saw Mu Zhen still standing at the door, so he asked with a pun: "Sister Zhen, what do you see in me?"
< br>
"You'll know later." Mu Zhen also made a pun.
Lin Bai didn't ask any more questions and went straight to the hospital.
On the way, I was still thinking about the conversation with Mu Zhen, and the two of them almost had a heart-to-heart.
She stated that she had no ill intentions, and Lin Bai also stated that he would not test her again in the future.
What else can be done? Just get by.
As soon as she arrived at the hospital, Xiu Xiu looked at Lin Bai expectantly. When she saw that Lin Bai was only carrying the medicine box, she curled her lips and turned to read the medical book.
"Is it nothing serious?" Doctor Bai asked.
"It's not a big deal to show someone an injury. They asked me to go there again in the evening, saying it was something." Lin Bai didn't lie.
"That Miss Pei is not easy to deal with. Don't mess with her. The sword has no eyes, so you need to be careful." Doctor Bai warned seriously.
"I know."
Lin Bai put down the medicine box, took out the candied haws and pig's trotters, and placed them in front of Xiu Xiu.
Xiuxiu's eyes lit up, she was filled with joy, and she muttered, "What a waste of money."
"If you don't want to eat, then I will." Lin Bai teased her.
Doctor Bai also looked at Xiu Xiu with kindness.
"No, no, no, I'll eat it." Xiu Xiu giggled, picked up a candied haws, peeled off the oil paper wrapped on it, and happily bit off one.
Her little face was bulging, but she was smiling happily, and she didn't know whether it was sweet or sour.
"You are a good person." Xiu Xiu commented and handed another candied haws to Lin Bai, "Grandpa can't eat it, so you can eat it."
"I've eaten, you can just eat." Lin Bai said with a smile.
"Then I'll eat them all?" Xiuxiu glanced at Doctor Bai, and when she saw that Doctor Bai ignored him, she was even more delighted, and said: "We will eat the pig's trotters for dinner, and each of us will take half."
"I don't like to eat, so you can eat it all." Lin Bai refused.
"You're a pretty good person." Xiuxiu became more and more satisfied with Lin Bai.
Before long, news of what Pei Ning did today had reached Beicheng.
Everyone marveled at Peining's cruelty, but also lamented Peining's kind deeds.
A few days ago, the people in Beicheng couldn't afford to buy food. Today, they can buy food at a reasonable price. Everyone is thinking about Pei Ning's kindness.
"Execute acts of mercy with thunderbolts."
When it got dark and he finished work, Lin Bai packed up his medicine box and prepared to go to the county government office.
"Remember, if you go out to treat people in the morning, you won't get paid. Don't forget it if you go tonight, they are not poor."
Xiuxiu gnawed on the pig's trotters, her mouth was full of oil, but she gave instructions with a serious face, fearing that the family would be completely defeated by Lin Bai.
