Daqing looked so angry and had a messy look on his head that Cui Yunzhu fell on the hay and laughed out loud, holding her belly.

Seeing this, Chen Yan curled the corners of his mouth. She must like children.

When the ox cart arrived in the town, Cui Yunzhu and the other got off. Before leaving, she did not forget to pinch Daqing's face. Daqing rolled around on the haystack in frustration, thinking to himself that this couple was really annoying.

The old man looked back at Daqing who was lying on the ground, took out a few coins from his pocket and planned to buy him a candied haws to try and see if he could shut the boy up.

The town is much more lively than the village. It is already lunchtime and there are still people coming and going. The shouts of various merchants and hawkers are heard one after another. The streets are also much wider, with many shops lining the street. The hawkers squat on both sides of the road with their goods in their hands, and some even have their own carts.

The street was filled with the sweet aroma of candied haws, causing many children to roll on the ground and beg their parents to buy them one. The smell of meat buns also reached Cui Yunzhu's nose among the smells of many other foods. She touched her stomach and seemed to be really hungry.

"Are you hungry?" As soon as she opened her mouth, Chen Yan led her to the bun shop. Cui Yunzhu touched her nose embarrassedly. Was it so obvious that she was greedy?

"Boss, give me three meat buns and three vegetable buns! Put them separately."

"Okay, sir! A meat bun is three cents, and a vegetarian bun is one cent. The total charge is twelve cents." The boss warmly entertained the customers when he saw that they had come to his store.

Cui Yunzhu took out twelve coins from her purse and handed them over.

The boss took it with a smile, and did not forget to praise: "You two have a great relationship. It is rare to see a wife taking money when she is away from home. Your husband must trust you very much. I wish you two a sweet and happy life and many children and grandchildren. Dear guests, please come again next time!"

Even though this was not the first time she heard such words, Cui Yunzhu couldn't help but feel happy, "I will definitely come back if it tastes good!"

Chen Yan took the buns and handed her the ones filled with meat. Cui Yunzhu knew she couldn't beat her so she didn't refuse.

In Chen Yan's eyes, she now looked like a sickly girl, and no explanation was of any use.

Cui Yunzhu couldn't help but salivate when she smelled the freshly-baked meat buns. The meat juice flowed into her mouth after she took a bite. The boss's cooking skills were indeed good.

She quickly finished a meat bun, and when she saw Chen Yan was about to eat the last vegetarian bun, she stood on tiptoe, snatched the remaining vegetarian bun from his hand, and stuffed the meat bun in her hand into his hand.

Cui Yunzhu took it and took a bite, revealing a satisfied look. "I have a small appetite and I am still weak. I can't eat so much at once. It's hard to digest. Especially eating too much meat is not good for the body. Let's exchange it with you, hehe."

Chen Yan looked at her lovingly and could only let her go. His mind was full of "my wife is worried about me" and "I am also a person who has a wife who is worried about me"...

"Baicaotang is nearby. It's the best clinic in town. The doctors' skills are much better than those in the village. Let's go there first. If it doesn't work, we'll go to the county. If that doesn't work, we'll go somewhere farther away. There's always a way to cure you." Chen Yan finished the bun in two bites, thinking that the most important thing today was to take Cui Yunzhu to see a doctor.

He never dared to forget what Erzhuzi told him, but he didn't dare to think further. He believed that his wife would be safe and sound!

Cui Yunzhu looked at Chen Yan's worry and silently said, "I'm sorry, old man Zhang," and "You must have heard what old man Zhang said in front of my house that day, right? There's really nothing wrong with my health. If you don't believe me, go to Baicaotang and see a doctor and you'll know."

"But Erzhuzi clearly told me that Old Man Zhang said so."

"Old man Zhang is a barefoot doctor, just like a monk who becomes a monk halfway through his life. He is best at diagnosing minor ailments of children, but not so good at other things. Do you really believe that he could tell that I was about to die just by looking at me? If Old man Zhang had this ability, why didn't he sit in Baicaotang?" Cui Yunzhu interrupted him hastily.

She jumped up and down hard, "Do I look like I'm going to die?"

"Don't talk nonsense, I believe you, but we must go to Baicaotang!" Chen Yan saw that she was alive and well and her condition was indeed not as serious as old man Zhang said, but he still had to wait until she saw a doctor before he could feel at ease.

The two of them headed towards Baicaotang, and Cui Yunzhu found everything interesting along the way.

The first time she came to the town in her previous life was when she was fleeing. The people in the town had already fled to various places. The doors of the shops on the street were closed, and the doors of the grain store were smashed. Standing on the street and looking inside, she could only see the wooden barrels of grain in the store scattered all over the ground, and there was not even a grain of brown rice on the ground.

Everywhere you look, the place is dilapidated and desolate, there is no trace of the bustle of today.

Chen Yan slowed down his pace and walked slowly with her. After walking for a while, they finally arrived at the door of Baicaotang.

As soon as they entered the room, the medicine boy asked, "Are you here to see a doctor or get medicine?"

"To see a doctor." The two answered in unison.

"Master is in the inner room, please follow me." The medicine boy asked another clerk to look after the shop, took them into a small room, and then went out.

The old doctor pointed to the stool in front of him and said, "Who is here to see the doctor? Please sit down."

After Cui Yunzhu sat down, the old doctor began to feel her pulse, then asked her to open her mouth and looked at her carefully. "It's nothing serious. You have weak qi, which makes you easily tired and weak. In addition, you have had a serious illness recently, so it is inevitable that you are not feeling well. You should eat more good food on a regular basis, and don't be reluctant."

The old doctor glanced at Chen Yan with a strange look on his face, and continued, "If conditions permit, eat more meat to replenish your body. If not, you can eat one or two eggs from a hen occasionally. Don't work too often recently. I'll prescribe you some medicine to replenish your body and you'll be fine."

"Is it really just qi deficiency and there's nothing else wrong?" Chen Yan wanted to confirm it clearly.

The old doctor blew his beard and said, "Why are you so weird? Why do you hope for something to go wrong? I have been treating patients for decades. The patients I have cured can line up all the way to the city gate. If you have the time to doubt my medical skills, you might as well be more concerned about your wife. Ha."

"Prescribe some Bu Zhong Yi Qi Tang!" the old doctor shouted to the medicine boy.

"Okay!" The medicine boy outside the door was very skilled. After hearing it, he ran to get the medicine.

"That's great, my wife, you're really okay." Chen Yan didn't care about the old doctor's attitude towards him. His heart was already filled with great surprise. He was so happy that he didn't know where to put his hands.

"Yes, I told you I wouldn't lie to you. You'll be fine after drinking a few tonics." Cui Yunzhu finally felt relieved when she knew that she was in good health.
