I went to the temple after traveling through time, and he turned out to be a monk!

The autumn rain was pouring down, and it was still a bit cool.

It hadn't rained yet when Bai Zhi came, so she didn't bring an umbrella, but now it was raining lightly, so she didn't care at all.

Meng Wenjing didn't care. He would get sick if he got caught in the rain. Looking at the sugar-like raindrops on her head, he still put the umbrella over Bai Zhi's head.

But, he didn't want the brothel girl to think that he was holding an umbrella for her, and he didn't want to get close to the brothel girl.

So his arms tried their best to get closer to Bai Zhi's body, and his feet had to get closer in order to hold an umbrella for her, but his waist still stubbornly turned out, forming a C shape.

Along the way, Meng Wenjing's waist was about to break.

Although Bai Zhi didn't take a second look at the person next to her, she could feel his stiffness and the atmosphere seemed a bit awkward. In order to ease the embarrassment, she said, "Doctor Meng, come closer, you haven't blocked the rain."

When his embarrassment was revealed, Meng Wenjing couldn't bear to lose face and retorted, "No need! Take the umbrella."

"...Well, that's not necessary. It won't rain much. We'll be here soon." Bai Zhi smiled awkwardly, fearing that the other party would think she was hinting and seducing.

If I move the umbrella now, won't it emphasize my guilty conscience even more? Meng Wenjing did not move, just in this posture, until he walked to the medicine shop.

Until he closed the umbrella, he didn't understand. Why should he feel guilty?

And why should I hold an umbrella for her?

Ayu's fever subsided, and when he saw Bai Zhi coming, he weakly wanted to get up. Bai Zhi pressed the child on the bed, "Doctor Meng is not open today, Ayu, just have a good rest."

Ayu then fell asleep with peace of mind.

The room was very damp, Bai Zhi asked Meng Wenjing, "Doctor Meng, can you light a charcoal stove for Ayu?"

Meng Wenjing was changing clothes in the room, and her voice came from outside the door. Her tone was gentle, with a hint of pleading. He unknowingly softened his movements and suppressed his breathing, for fear that the fragmentary voice would cover her up. The words, "Yeah."

Bai Zhi is still complaining in her heart that the leaking roof will not be repaired by her children! It's really humble to live under someone else's roof, and you have to ask for permission to light a charcoal fire.

It seems that she has to work harder to change this situation as soon as possible.

She was at the peak of her thirst for knowledge. She dreamed every day and wondered why the gunpowder couldn't explode. So while Meng Wenjing was changing clothes and trimming her hair, she secretly grabbed two handfuls of sulfur and saltpeter and wrapped them in a handkerchief. inside.

After doing this, as soon as he turned out the door, he was bumped into by Meng Wenjing.

Meng Wenjing's nose was more sensitive than ordinary people, and he instantly smelled the strong smell of sulfur on her body. He frowned slightly, "What are you doing?"

Being caught red-handed, Bai Zhi hurriedly explained, "I'll see if there's any medicine I can give A Yu to take..."

Meng Wenjing wanted to ask more, but suppressed his curiosity and said, "Well, I have given her medicine. You just stay and take care of her."

Bai Zhi was shocked. She could stay now. That was great!

So she prepared gunpowder in the courtyard, which was called concentration, but she didn't dare to light it, for fear that if she succeeded, it would blow up the house.

On the surface, Meng Wenjing was busy with the patient's affairs, but in fact, he quietly observed her for a long time. When he saw her mixing the two things with charcoal, he understood her purpose. She was making black powder!

Meng Wenjing didn't understand why she did this. He only remembered that his master was obsessed with Taoism in his later years, and he would make this thing all day long to make elixirs.

She also wants to make elixirs?

make sense! It all made sense.

There are rumors in the world that taking a certain elixir can prolong life and stay young forever. Some brothels also use elixirs to maintain some kind of business, making men invincible and addicted to them, unable to extricate themselves.

Meng Wenjing figured it out, but felt even more uncomfortable. Seeing her like this made him feel heart-wrenching and uncomfortable.

Suddenly, there was a rapid knock on the door, interrupting Meng Wenjing's thoughts.

Although pharmacies are not open, patients will never give up seeking medical advice.

Meng Wenjing could only open the door to do business. He was a man whose face turned purple due to vomiting. It was an emergency.

Meng Wenjing moved the patient into the room and was about to give the patient an acupuncture. As soon as the patient managed to climb onto the bed, he vomited and vomited all over the bed.

Bai Zhi heard the sound and rushed to see what happened. As soon as she entered the room, she smelled a strong sour smell, which was the smell of vomit.

She saw Meng Wenjing frowning, covering his nose, holding a spread of vomit and not knowing what to do.

She remembered that Meng Wenjing had a mysophobia, so she immediately found a pile of rags, covered the vomit, wrapped the vomit, threw it to the ground, and then wiped the bed board with a clean cloth.

The movements were so decisive and skillful that all Meng Wenjing's doubts disappeared in an instant, and then the patient was given the injection.

During the process, Bai Zhi watched from the sidelines, cleaned, listened carefully to his needs, and ensured that the items he needed were delivered in time.

All the processes became silky smooth. After experiencing the torture of several helpers, Meng Wenjing deeply understood the calmness and intelligence of this brothel woman.

Should he say it or not, Meng Wenjing could clearly feel that his heart was impressed by this woman.

Simply because she can really solve problems and is really capable.

After the patient was treated, he took several doses of medicine but had no money to pay for it. He knelt and kowtowed and begged Meng Wenjing to make an IOU.

Meng Wenjing agreed without saying much, and said that he only had to pay for the medicine and the cost of the acupuncture would be taken care of.

Bai Zhi was dumbfounded by this operation.

This guy must be a fool! If he does business the way he does, he will destroy any business!

Well! But it’s none of her business, and it’s not her who’s losing money! As long as Ayu doesn't learn from him, he will starve to death.

After sending away the patient, Bai Zhi began to clean up the mess. She knew that if she didn't do these tasks, it would most likely be Ayu's turn. She was sick now, so she should have a good rest.

While she was working, she opened the drawer containing sulfur and saltpeter and took a look, showing a strange smile.

She liked this thing just looking at it!

"That..." Meng Wenjing suddenly said a voice from behind her, scaring Bai Zhi to push the drawer back with a bang.

"What...is it? Doctor Meng?" Bai Zhi was sweating for a while.

"Well, Ayu is sick and may have to recuperate for several days. I am too busy. You stay and take care of her. By the way... lend a hand and I will pay you!" Meng Wenjing spoke softly, but still did not open his mouth too wide. .

Bai Zhi was still a little surprised. When he spoke and cursed to others, he had such clear speech and loud voice. Why did he become like this when talking to her? She had to work hard to hear what he said clearly.

However, this good news still makes people happy. The sulfur is almost running out and will be restocked soon. At this critical point, she feels at ease staying here.

"Okay! But the wages are paid every day, so I may only be able to work for a while." After all, after getting the source of the raw materials, she was about to run away, no longer suffering from this cowardice.

Meng Wenjing was startled, and his breath gathered in his chest, "Why don't you keep doing this for a long time? The business here is always cleaner than the business in the brothel!"

This time his mouth was open and his voice was a little loud.

Bai Zhi didn't know how to answer him for a moment, but after thinking for a moment, she decided to let out a small breath of anger, "Don't you think I'm unclean? I'm not going to shame you, lest you think I'm trying to take advantage of your noble status. !”

This is quite right!

Meng Wenjing was really angry, and his temples bulged, "Haha, that's fine, it's up to you!"
