Chapter Four, Shyness

The Zhidang in the outer room stood up again and said, "Young master, no, it's late at night. If you are exposed to wind and cold, what should you do if your symptoms change?"

"I'll just put on a few more clothes." He just couldn't wait to see her, but his feelings for her had to be hidden and not allowed to be discovered by others. The world was in turmoil, and she was still a wandering doctor. His feelings for her

If her love is blatant, it will be her death.

Even though Zhang Shiyan wore a lot of clothes and a cloak to keep out the cold, Zhitang still stopped him. Zhang Shiyan had no choice but to say, "Zhitang, don't you want me to get better soon?"

Zhitang was in great panic, and leaned over to explain: "Zhitang's family has been a doctor for generations, and Zhangfutang has been a doctor for generations. I am kind to you, and you, the eldest young master, have been seen by Zhitang since you were young. I think the eldest young master was weak and sick when he was young."

, it was the little doctor who searched all over the medical field and found out various ways to serve the eldest young master to adulthood. It was difficult, and the little doctor never spoke of the hardships. How could he not wish the eldest young master a good health as soon as possible?"

Zhang Shiyan was just joking, and hurriedly helped Zhitang, who was over seventy years old, "I was joking with Zhitang, but Zhitang became serious?" He begged Zhitang to let him go, "Don't tell the master and his wife, I will come back as soon as I go."

"No!"

"Zhitang!" If you knew that I was suffering from lovesickness, would you still stop me? "I will go back after a while. I will go to see if the doctor is doing her best to treat this young master."

Zhitang still refused to let Zhang Shiyan leave the house, "In this case, I will definitely come back within the time it takes to burn half a stick of incense." Zhang Shiyan bargained.

"Please rest assured, young master. As a doctor, a doctor's duty is to treat illnesses and save people. The doctor will definitely not fail to do her best." The old man in Zhitang did not understand why the young master had to go to supervise the work himself. "If you are anxious, I will ask the servant

Run to check."

Zhang Shiyan wished that his acupuncture points could be fixed, but he was worried that Zhitang was old and sealing the acupoints would hurt his blood, so he had to continue to beg, and almost said "I want to see her" directly.

After all, it was Zhang Shiyan, Mr. Zhitang, and Shui Zhi who went to the medicine shop together. Zhang Shiyan complained that he could not escape the worry of other people being present when the two of them met, so he could only suppress his inner feelings.

Desire can only be treated with courtesy.

In the fire room in the backyard of the medicine shop, He Gu was boiling medicine with his head downcast, and his right hand was wrapped in a gauze scarf. "Young Master, come in, just in time for the doctor to see your pulse." Zhitang held Zhang Shiyan's hand.

Said the sleeves.

The three of them stood outside the house. Zhang Shiyan became timid and felt a little uneasy. He had been looking forward to this day for a long time and finally hoped that she would come back. But she no longer looked at him. How could she not notice that he was standing there?

Where is the door?

His shadow has already been reflected on her medicine table. Is she pretending not to see it?

What would she think if she knew he was lying to her?

"Mr. Medical Aunt..." The old man from Zhitang bowed and said with a slight salute, "The eldest young master is concerned about the progress of the medical aunt's research on medicine, so he came to see it in person. Just in time, Mister Medical Aunt, please take a look at the eldest young master's pulse." As he said,

, Zhitang pulled Zhang Shiyan's arm energetically. Zhang Shiyan's legs seemed to be frozen, and he did not dare to lift them up. He was frozen outside the house and did not dare to go in, for fear of her displeasure.

The aunt didn't even raise her head to look at him.

Seeing the way she was indifferent to him, Zhang Shiyan felt extremely uncomfortable. If she was unhappy with him, she might as well hit him a few times and punch him a few times like before. The way she ignored him made her more angry.

The angry look made Zhang Shiyan uncomfortable. If these two people hadn't been following her at the door, he would have gone in and acted rogue in front of her.

As the eldest son and the eldest young master of the Zhang family, how could he cry in front of the servants? If this was spread, his face would be completely lost.

The aunt who had been busy on the medicine table for six or seven hours, relying on the candlelight, twisted the cork and angelica in the medicine box, and just responded lightly: "Yes."

Just hearing this flat voice of agreement, Zhang Shiyan felt as if there was a foreign object in his throat. He felt that she didn't care about his grievances and didn't feel bad about him. He was just worried about her safety and wanted her to be there.

He was by his side to protect her, and he just wanted her to stretch out her gentle arms and hug him like before.

He Gu is not a medical officer of the Zhang family, so there is no need to call him "eldest young master". She is just a careless wandering doctor. Zhang Shiyan did not enter the house for a long time. Although there was no biting cold wind outside the house, it was more revealing. He Gu treated him.

There is still a trace of soft-heartedness.

"Excuse me, Mr. Zhang, please come into the house. The doctor will check Mr. Zhang's pulse."

He Gu crushed the medicine in his hand and put it down, raised his head, and happened to meet Zhang Shiyan's eyes looking at her. If there was a sound of longing, Zhang Shiyan's eyes were filled with "I miss you". The revenge of killing his father should not be forgotten, He Gu secretly reminded her.

You, you cannot be soft-hearted towards him.

In fact, the "father" that He Gu mentioned about killing her father was her medical master. She herself was a refugee fleeing famine, and it was her master who saved her life and taught her medical skills.

Master is more important to her than her own life.

Three years ago, there were bandits in Yiyang, and the people were in fear all day long. Zhang Shiyan led his troops to suppress the bandits, killing more than 10,000 bandits and their relatives. The graves in the mass graves outside the county were all blood red, and innocent people were also killed.

Not counting them all, they were all killed on his order.

But if we really want to distinguish right from wrong, innocent people will die unjustly.

Rumor has it that the master of traditional Chinese medicine died in the suppression of bandits just because of his relationship with the bandits. Some people said that Zhang Shiyan was cruel, but the people of Yiyang loved his cruelty.

When the old man Zhitang saw Zhang Shiyan standing outside the house for a long time without stepping in, he thought that he disliked the simple and crude cooking room of the medicine shop and was worried that the medicine stains would stain his clothes.

The young master is afraid of disturbing the medicine table of the medical aunt. If you can ask the medical aunt..."

Although the aunt is not as tactful as ordinary people, she can still hear the words behind her words. She understood, "Yes." Then she walked out from behind the medicine table and wiped the medicine stains on her hands. Every step she took was like a

It was stepping on Zhang Shiyan's heart that made him feel a little tight and suffocated.

"Master Zhang, please raise your hand, let the doctor diagnose your pulse."

The woman in front of him, whose face was covered by a scarf, had a cold and distant look on her face. "Let's take a step to diagnose the pulse." Zhang Shiyan grabbed He Gu's wrist and said, "You two go to the front hospital and wait for me." He sent Zhitang and Shuizhi to leave.
