Chapter 141 Spy
After Xiao An's explanation, Rong Su finally understood why he was surprised when he heard her name.
It turns out that the Five Copper Coins Clinic is now under the management of Yuan Shen and his team, and has attracted many patients from various towns and cities in various continents to come for treatment.
Because no medical clinic can treat everyone equally regardless of their identity or status, and even charge only five copper coins for the consultation fee.
Not to mention that some people's illnesses require very expensive medicinal materials, but at the Five Copper Coin Clinic, it still only costs five copper coins.
Such a non-profit medical clinic is unheard of and unseen in any continent or country. It is normal that it can rise in just half a year and become famous in three continents and one city.
Rong Su never thought that Yuan Shen would still use her name as the attending doctor to promote the Five Copper Coins Clinic. This move surprised her. She had been taking care of her own affairs during this period and had not exchanged letters with Yuan Shen and others.
It seems I need to find some time to exchange letters with them and understand the situation.
"Rong girl, are you free? Come and tell me how you practiced the suturing technique?" Xiao An looked at her excitedly, his beard almost standing up with excitement, if he hadn't held it down with his hands.
I glanced sideways at Shen Peiqing who was leaning against the head of the bed. I saw that he lowered his eyes, and the loose hair on his forehead covered his eyes. I couldn't see his expression at the moment, and I didn't know what he was thinking.
But why did she want to know what he was thinking? Rong Su just felt a little strange. Maybe Shen Peiqing did not take advantage of her last night, or she actually wanted to thank him for saving her from the beast last night and wanted to say something.
It was too quiet. Xiao An clearly noticed that Rong Su seemed to be worried about Shen Peiqing. He gently stroked his beard a few times, then understood everything and said with a smile: "Rong girl. I think you should have something to say to Brother Shen. In that case, I won't disturb you. When you are free, remember to communicate with me!"
After saying that, Xiao An did not forget to close the door when he went out. Rong Su twitched her lips. In fact, it was okay not to close the door, but if she reminded him specifically, it would look a bit strange, so she simply didn't say anything.
He turned around and looked at Shen Peiqing. He was very quiet, but there was no sign of him resting. He just leaned against the head of the bed with his head lowered, not knowing what he was thinking.
The room was so quiet that she could even hear her own heartbeat and breathing clearly. She had been looking at him for so long, couldn't this guy just speak first on his own initiative?
Or is he so slow? Isn't he usually very sensitive?
All kinds of thoughts popped up in her mind, and just when she was about to speak out, Shen Peiqing finally opened his mouth. His voice was a little hoarse, as low as if it came from a valley.
"I had no choice but to take off your clothes last night. If you want to blame me, you can do whatever you want to me."
There was no emotion in these words. Rong Su's cheeks suddenly felt hot when she heard this. She quickly turned sideways to hide her awkwardness and said coldly, "Am I the kind of person who would care about these things? In an emergency, these things can be ignored."
When Shen Peiqing heard this, his long, jet-black eyelashes fluttered slightly, and a faint light flashed across his eyes that no one could see, but he didn't know what he was thinking about, and his tone was a little gloomy.
"Don't let yourself get into this situation again. If I'm not by your side, you can't let any man get close to you."
Why did this man suddenly get angry? Rong Su couldn't understand what he was thinking, but there were some things he still had to ask clearly.
"Why did you suddenly get so badly injured? Were you attacked by a killer sent by someone? Shen Fengyu?"
When Shen Peiqing mentioned this, a dark and murderous aura instantly filled his eyes, and his voice was as cold as ice: "Perhaps the information about Bai Ku Shen was also his purpose in leading me out of Xuancheng. He just wanted to use Bai Ku Shen to ambush me."
Is it really Shen Fengyu’s work?
Something flashed through her mind, and she suddenly remembered something. Rong Su frowned and looked at Shen Peiqing seriously, "No. Even if Shen Fengyu found out that we were looking for herbs, he couldn't have known so accurately that we were looking for Bai Ku Shen. We never clearly stated what we wanted. Only a few of us knew we were looking for Bai Ku Shen."
Rong Su was shocked as if she suddenly knew something. Could it be that? She looked at Shen Peiqing in surprise. Shen Peiqing was much calmer than her and met her gaze. It seemed that they both thought of the same thing at the same time.
"Maybe you think the same as I do, right?" Rong Su asked him uncertainly.
Shen Peiqing's dark eyes moved slightly, and his pale lips opened slightly: "We have an enemy spy among us."
Yes, this is the only possibility, then who is it?
Rong Su frowned, lowered his head in thought, stroking his chin with his hand, and paced back and forth.
Shen Peiqing, who was leaning against the head of the bed, glanced at her sideways and saw that she was thinking with her head down, her beautiful brows tightly furrowed, and her hair was casually tied up behind her with a hairpin, seeming a little messy. But in his eyes, she seemed to be more beautiful than the fairies in the paintings.
She had just experienced something so bad last night, and he didn't want her to bother thinking about it now, so he said softly, "Some people or things will eventually surface. As long as you pay more attention and vigilance from now on, you will always find clues. You've been soaking in cold water for so long, go and rest first."
After listening to what he said, Rong Su felt that this made sense. Just as she was about to say something, she saw him actually supporting himself on the bed and trying to get up. She hurried over and held his hand. He seemed to understand what she was thinking and began to explain.
"Doctor Xiao probably doesn't have that many vacant rooms. I want to give up my bed for you to rest."
How could Rong Su not be moved by these words? She didn't even look at who said these words. They came from the guy who was always cold and vicious.
Rong Su glanced at the wound he had bandaged and stitched up with great difficulty, her lips twitching slightly, speechless. She began to blame him rudely, "Shen Peiqing, do you know that I spent a lot of effort to stitch your wound up? If you move, it will open again. Then I will make you die of pain! Stop pretending to be a good person. It doesn't suit you."
Seeing the subtle concern in her complaining eyes, Shen Peiqing didn't find her words harsh at all. Instead, he felt very warm. The corners of his mouth raised slightly unconsciously, and then a cunning look passed through his dark eyes: "In that case, let's lie down together."
"What?" Rong Su was surprised.
Before she had a chance to react, he reached out his big hand, grabbed her wrist, and with an effort, pulled her in front of him. She opened her eyes wide and stared blankly at his beautifully curved eyes. Those eyes were filled with a sly smile, blooming in front of her.
He grasped her wrist and applied a little force, turning her over. She then faced away from him and slept on her side beside him. She could still hear his slightly low and slow voice in her ear.
"Okay. Close your eyes and get some sleep."
How could she sleep in this situation?
His big, warm hand gently held her wrist, his rough palm pressed lightly against her skin, and his gentle, strong arm pressed against her arm. She could clearly feel the warmth from him.
Somehow, her breathing started to become a little disordered. She had no idea what was going on. Shen Peiqing was sleeping behind her, and there was only a very small gap between her body and Shen Peiqing. She was so close that she could vaguely hear his breathing.
Didn't he notice his breathing quickening?
Rong Su lowered her head slightly, hoping that her heartbeat would not be too agitated, otherwise it would be strange if Shen Peiqing found out.
No, now that she is lying next to Shen Peiqing like this, this situation is very strange, okay!
No matter how he thought about it, it didn't seem right. Rong Su lowered his voice and tried to break free from the shackles of the warm hand: "I'd better just sit aside and rest for a while."
But the other party seemed to have no intention of letting go of her wrist. He even moved closer to her because she heard his breathing become heavier.
His voice was hoarse. "Don't move. It's fine like this. Isn't it good to stay like this?"
This obviously shouldn't have happened. Rong Su wanted to get up and stay away from this guy, but for some reason, when she heard his slightly fragile and low, almost coquettish tone, she really listened to him and didn't move.
Maybe this guy's embrace was a little warm, or maybe she was really chilled by the cold water last night. Now leaning against him, she felt very comfortable. After her body relaxed, she began to feel drowsy.
After a while, she really fell asleep.
Shen Peiqing's eyes, which were originally slightly closed, slowly opened after hearing the even and steady breathing of the person in his arms.
Smelling the faint fragrance on her body and feeling her body temperature, his heart seemed to be satisfied, as if no matter how serious the injuries to his body were, it didn't seem so uncomfortable.
He lowered his eyes to look at her snow-white and delicate profile, and could not help but reach out his hand and gently scratch her soft face with his fingertips. The touch made his fingertips tremble.
The place he touched seemed to be getting hot. He concealed the joy in his eyes, lowered his head slightly, and gently placed a very light kiss on her hair.
Then he closed his eyes contentedly.
The sound of chattering woke her up from a long-awaited good sleep.
Rong Su seemed to have not had such a comfortable sleep for a long time. Since her rebirth, she was always restless and had a light sleep every time she slept. A small movement could wake her up.
This was the first time she slept so soundly, but she would never admit that it was because of Shen Peiqing. It must have been because she was cold and his arms were warmer.
Yes, that must be the case!
When she opened her eyes, Rong Su was still nervous, not knowing how to face Shen Peiqing who was sleeping behind her. After hesitating for a long time, she said, "Shen Peiqing. Well, we just slept in the same bed. Don't think too much. Also, don't tell anyone."
When she said it, she could feel how ashamed she was. Her face, ears and body were lying in such a way that she felt very embarrassed.
But the other party didn't reply, which made her even more nervous, so she said again: "Really, as children of the underworld, we can actually ignore this kind of intimacy between men and women."
The person behind her still didn't speak, and Rong Su became angry instantly. What was going on? She spoke so humbly, what else did he want?
Is he supposed to take responsibility? She, a woman, slept next to him and didn't say anything, but he, a grown man, started to act pretentiously!
In anger, she turned around and was about to curse, but when she looked behind her, there was no one. She was surprised for a moment. What was going on?
Then I heard a loud conversation outside the house, which seemed to be Xiao An's voice.
Confused, Rong Su got up from the bed, straightened her clothes, and then pushed the door open and went out.
As soon as she went out, she attracted two gazes, and one of them caught her off guard and met his gaze.
Those ink-black eyes were as calm as the autumn moon over a calm lake. After meeting her gaze, it seemed that tiny starlight could be seen in them. The cold ink color was still bright, as if it had instantly surrounded the silence around them.
When Xiao An saw Rong Su, he immediately began to praise her again. He pointed at the place where Shen Peiqing's wound was sutured and said to her, "What a wonderful hand! This suturing technique is amazing! Girl, you have to teach me. How about I become your disciple?"
As soon as Xiao An said this, Rong Su noticed that Shen Peiqing was now shirtless, with his strong and majestic chest exposed before her eyes. She couldn't help but blush for a while, and then she sternly scolded Xiao An, "Doctor Xiao, his wound hasn't healed yet, what are you doing?"
"What else can I do? I just need to change the cloth for my little brother."
Seeing Rong Su's concern, Xiao An sighed and muttered quietly, "Brother Shen is in good health, and his suture technique is very good, so it should have started to heal a lot in just one night. This girl is just too worried and making a fuss."
Rong Su didn't hear Xiao An's mumbling, but she could tell from his expression that he was definitely scolding her. So she said seriously, "What are you mumbling about? And, Shen Peiqing, now that you've changed the strips of cloth, hurry up and put on your clothes!"
Shen Peiqing glanced at her serious face, the corners of his mouth raised imperceptibly, and he obediently picked up his clothes and dressed immediately.
Looking back and forth between Shen Peiqing and Rong Su, Xiao An understood that this old man was just a tool for the young lovers to play around with. He sighed and suddenly became depressed, like a withered grass.
Rong Su didn't care what Xiao An was thinking. She took out some silver and placed it on the table. She said to him, "Thank you for taking us in. We have to leave now."
Upon hearing Rong Su was planning to leave, Xiao An immediately perked up. "Girl, I don't want your money. Just accept me as your apprentice and teach me the art of suturing. As an internal medicine doctor, I've always wanted to become a surgeon, but I've always been troubled by my lack of talent. All the people I know are internal medicine doctors like me."
He finally found a doctor who knew surgery, and even if she was just a little girl, he had to ask her for advice seriously!
No matter how he listened to it, it sounded like a big trouble. Rong Su didn't want to accept any disciples or teach anyone.
Xiao An was also a person who was very good at reading people's expressions. He observed everything carefully and quickly took out the book he had prepared.
"Girl, this is the experience I've gained from years of practicing medicine. How about I make a deal with you? You stay for two days and teach me. If I can learn it, that's great. If I can't, I won't force you. You won't lose out. Two days in exchange for thirty years of medical experience. How about it?"
