After rebirth, I kidnapped the sickly Dugong

Wen Baizhi knew that she couldn't be so straightforward with Si Jiu right now.

She just stopped Si Jiu from getting up.

"No one gets used to pain," she straightened the blanket on Si Jiu's body, "I have seen many injured people. They are the ones who should get used to pain and wounds, but every time they get injured, they will still actively seek treatment, work hard to recover, and prepare for the future."

Si Jiu knew in his heart that the person in front of him was the same Wen Bai from the past.

Although this was unbelievable, he knew that Wen Bai was back.

So the people Wen Bai is talking about now should be the ones who once fought side by side with her.

Si Jiu was stunned for a moment and then asked, "So what happened to those people later?"

Wen Baizhi thought for a moment and replied, "Some people persisted, and some people just left."

Wen Baizhi was not used to her current identity. If she was the previous Wen Baizhi, she would never talk about such a topic with Si Jiu so late at night.

Si Jiu looked at her: "So you have been injured too?"

Wen Baizhi finally reacted at this time: "Me? I'm not, how could I be injured."

Si Jiu didn't say anything, just looked at her.

Wen Baizhi hurriedly tried to make up for it: "I just wanted to find some stories to comfort you. It definitely doesn't mean anything I've experienced myself."

Si Jiu naturally expressed his belief: "I know, thank you for your comfort."

Wen Baizhi immediately stood up and looked out the window casually: "It's too late, I have to go back, you should get some rest early, I still need to find a doctor to check your injury tomorrow."

Although Si Jiu was extremely reluctant, he still said, "I will. I will go to you for dinner after applying the medicine tomorrow."

Wen Baizhi thought to herself, how could a governor always be thinking about having dinner with her, but she couldn't lose face for him.

"It's up to you."

After that, he went back without any excuse to stay any longer.

When she reached the door, Ping An was still looking forward to it. When he saw her come out, he hurried forward to ask about Si Jiu's situation.

Wen Baizhi just said that Si Jiu agreed to let a doctor come to treat him tomorrow. She didn't say anything else and left with Cuizhi.

It was not until Wen Baizhi finished washing up and lay down in bed that she secretly cursed herself for saying so many things that she shouldn't have said in front of Si Jiu today.

But she also gave an explanation, so Si Jiu shouldn't notice anything.

After all, in this era, people's thinking is still very conservative.

After consoling herself, she fell asleep.

On the other side, Si Jiu was also holding the ointment brought by Wen Baizhi, feeling the long-lost sleepiness.

The next morning, Ping'an brought Doctor Rong to the house.

Si Jiu originally wanted to just treat the wound perfunctorily as he did before, but thinking of what he had promised Wen Baizhi last night, he frowned and let Ping An take the person to his room.

Si Jiu sat upright on the chair. Doctor Rong, also known as Rong Heng, was a young man who looked no more than thirty years old.

He placed the medicine box on the table and said to Si Jiu, "Please show me where you were injured, sir."

Si Jiu looked around, confirmed that there was no one around, then bent down and lifted his trouser legs to his knees.

Rong Heng squatted down to check.

I saw that Si Jiu's knees were abnormally red and swollen, and at first glance they were black and purple. I guess it was caused by kneeling for a long time.

The calves were also covered with whip marks.

Rong Heng took out the powder from the medicine box and said, "Master Du, I need to sprinkle the powder on your wound now. It may be a little unbearable. Please forgive me, Master Du."

Si Jiu nodded.

Rong Heng sprinkled the powder on his knees.

Si Jiu was shocked by the powder and held the armrest tightly with both hands.

Rong Heng quickly took out the gauze and carefully wrapped the knee that had been sprinkled with medicine.

As Rong Heng walked around, he gave instructions: "The injury to the governor's knee is quite serious. Edema has already occurred. The powder can only temporarily relieve the pain. The most important thing is to rest more, walk less, and get injured less. If the condition gets worse, you may need acupuncture to drain the fluid in your knee."

Si Jiu's face turned pale with pain: "I've remembered it all."

The next step was to deal with the whip marks on his calves. This time, Rong Heng used a different ointment.

But before his hand touched Si Jiu's leg, he was stopped by him.

Rong Heng knew that Si Jiu didn't like being touched by outsiders, and he would only apply medicine when there was really no other way.

He originally thought that Si Jiu called him just like before.

Unexpectedly, Si Jiu took out a bottle of ointment from his arms.

"Apply this ointment."

Rong Heng took the ointment in his hand and examined it carefully: "Master Du, this ointment is just an ordinary external ointment. It won't have much effect on your injury."

Si Jiu insisted: "I know, but I still want to use this."

Rong Heng had no choice but to apply the ointment.

The strange pain brought by the ointment applied to the wound made Si Jiu feel an indescribable ambiguity in his heart.

After all the medicines were taken, Rong Heng stood up and said, "I know that you are in great trouble, but you still have to take care of yourself. Medicine can only cure you temporarily, not forever. I hope you take good care of yourself."

Si Jiu first took the ointment in Rong Heng's hand and put it in his arms.

Then he put down his lifted trouser legs and carefully smoothed out the wrinkles: "I have been going through this for the past three years. You know how much I have been hurt. I thought I would be used to it. After all, who can refuse a reward from that person?"

He looked out the window. It was late autumn and leaves were falling.

"But it seems that people shouldn't get used to pain."

He didn't say anything else, and Rong Heng quietly put away the medicine box and left.

After Rong Heng left, Ping An came in at the right time.

"Master, it's almost noon. The kitchen has prepared the food according to your instructions. Master, are you going to have dinner with Miss Wen?"

Ping An is the person Si Jiu has kept by his side since the beginning. Having followed him for almost three years, he naturally knows his preferences.

Si Jiu stood up and said, "From now on, you should call her Madam."

Ping An slapped himself in the face and said, "You are right, Governor. I will remember what you said. I said something wrong, please forgive me."

Si Jiu was not a person who would treat his servants harshly, so he naturally would not bother with Ping An. He took him to Wen Baizhi's yard.

Wen Baizhi still ate light food in the morning, and the light food in her mouth was enough to feed fish.

She had completely forgotten the agreement she had made with Si Jiu yesterday, mainly because she felt that Si Jiu was so seriously injured that he couldn't even walk, and he was also a very busy man, so he might not remember the agreement with a small character like her.

Just when she was about to go out of the house with Cuizhi to find some food, that is, just when she stepped out of the yard, she met Si Jiu who came here with Ping'an.

Cuizhi bowed hurriedly: "May the governor be well."

When Wen Baizhi wanted to follow suit and salute, Si Jiu raised his hand to stop her.

"Where are we going?"

Wen Baizhi knew at a glance that Si Jiu was here to fulfill his promise, and hurriedly said, "Come out for a walk so you can eat more at noon."

Si Jiu smiled.

Wen Baizhi also laughed awkwardly.
