Chapter 95
Struggle in Ancient Times
âItâs finally over. Look at those old guys; their faces are getting uglier than the last.â Huang Zilan moved his stiff arms. After standing for so long, his whole body was almost stiff.
âThis scholar is really not something ordinary people can be.â
Liao Tingyu came over to massage the stiff muscles on Huang Zilan body.
âHowâs it going? Is this more comfortable?â
âYes, a little further to the left, thatâs where it is,â Huang Zilan directed. âToday is so boring.â
âAre you bored? I see that you are having a good time. Especially when you see me showing off my power, your eyes light up! Seriously, why donât we swap positions next time? How about you be me and I be your book boy,â Liao Tingyu said with interest.
âNo, how can you change your identity? If we meet in the examination room and someone says you donât look like this, then the two of us will go to the government to have dinner,â Huang Zilan thought it was very unrealistic.
âSince thatâs the case, letâs forget it. Letâs go shopping tomorrow and take a look at the paintings and calligraphy of our seniors. Then weâll go to the next place,â Liao Tingyu thought for a while.
âThatâs fine. If those scholars canât breathe when they go back, they will come to trouble you while weâre lying-in bed. Itâs better to leave as soon as possible,â Huang Zilan also agreed with this matter.
âWhy didnât you restrain yourself a little bit when you tried your best today? I remember you were very low-key before!â Huang Zilan felt that Liao Tingyuâs performance today was a bit uncharacteristic.
âHow do I put this? I just hate people who rely on their old age and sell themselves off. They are like ratâs poo, harming generations of people,â Liao Tingyu said.
âAlthough it is a bit excessive, you have intervened in this matter. No matter how well those students learning, a few will always succeed. I donât know if the successful ones will also become like that,â Huang Zilan said worriedly.
âNo one can say this. Anyway, we just have to do our own things well, do our best, and calm our hearts. One personâs power can never change the world and peopleâs hearts,â Liao Tingyu said.
âThen I was still worried that you would be disappointed. Since you can think so, thatâs great,â Huang Zilan looked at his tall and handsome husband.
The most fearful thing was people who didnât know their own abilities. The best thing was to act within your abilities.
âIâm not that stupid. Overestimating our own capabilities will only lead to self-destruction. We just cut off a way for them to make money. They wonât go crazy; they will only hate us in their hearts. Other methods are not worth it. If we make a big fuss, it will only be us who suffer,â Liao Tingyu said.
âYes, everything should be done in moderation, and I hope those young people will not forget their current ideas,â Huang Zilan said in an old voice.
âHaha, if other people heard what you said, they would think you were already eighty years old! Young babies will grow taller if they go to bed early. Look, you just hit me on the shoulder now, little dwarf.â Liao Tingyu held the person in one hand and walked towards the bed.
âNonsense, Iâm not that short. Iâm tall among the ger.â Huang Zilan was unconvinced, âDonât hold me too much. Itâs uncomfortable. Youâre strangling me.â
âOh, thatâs it.â Liao Tingyu hugged him, throwing him a bit and moved his hand a little, âIt wonât strangle you, right?â
âWell, thatâs okay. Your recent arms seem to be a lot bigger.â
âThatâs right, Iâm working hard every day.â Liao Tingyu was very proud. No matter how tired he was from eating so much and exercising every day, his muscle lines were now showing.
It was a pity that the person who should appreciate it had no guts at all, alas!
.
On the second day, they unexpectedly met an acquaintance.
âLuo-xiucai, it turns out you love studying so much, and you came to read so early.â Luo-xiucai hates this face the most now. It was this person who caused him to lose two monthsâ worth of earnings.
However, it was impossible for him to ignore others who say hello with a smile. It would appear that he was too ungraceful.
âI didnât expect Liao-xiucai to come so early. He really loves learning!â Luo-xiucai said complimentarily.
In an instant, the two people started complimenting each other.
âLiao-xiucai is really young and promising. He is able to do things at such a young age and does so well. His future is limitless.â
âLuo-xiucai is so polite. I will be proud if you say this. And to be honest, your knowledge is really good, especially your poems. Many people canât compare to you,â Liao Tingyu smiled so hard that his eyes narrowed. He said he was polite, but in fact, he accepted the compliment without humility.
âNo way, the poems you wrote are really good. I should learn more from you.â
âThese are all the contributions I am responsible for. If Luo-xiucai hadnât made a good start in the front, I wouldnât have continued that one. Otherwise, if I were the first to compose a poem, I would definitely be less than one-tenth as good as you,â Liao Tingyu said politely.
The two of them talked nonsense about each otherâs business all afternoon. On the surface, they didnât know anything about each other and thought they were close friends. It was such a late meeting!
Liao Tingyu complained while packing his things, âThis guy really canât see his head in the right place. After all he said, he still dragged me into talking about things. Does he have so much to say?â
âYou and I think he did it on purpose. Itâs a pity that I originally planned to eat wontons one last time. I wonder if we will have time to have a bowl before we leave,â Huang Zilan felt it was a pity.
âIt should be okay. After all, they seem to get up very early. When we leave, we have to wait for the city gate to open. People will have opened stalls when the city gate opens,â Liao Tingyu also felt that it was a pity. If he could still eat it, it would be good.
âI hope so. Weâve been wandering around these days and didnât pay attention to when that person opened his stall.â
âWho knew that something like this would happen? By the way, should I pack this thing in? It feels a little bit⦠There are so many!â Liao Tingyu said, holding about eight kilograms of fruit.
âPut it on. It wonât be much if you eat it. Itâs better than not eating it when you suddenly want to eat it.â
âOur cows are really working hard these days.â Liao Tingyu said.
âItâs normal for a cow to pull a cart and carry seven or eight people. How hard is it?â Huang Zilan said.
âThatâs what people are trying to say to us.â
âNo matter how many nice things you say, he still wonât understand. You might as well feed him more. Whatâs going on with you today? I always feel like you have something to say to me.â Huang Zilan keenly discovered that Liao Tingyu was not normal.
Liao Tingyu was guessed through, so he stopped being coy and went straight to the point.
âUm, Zilan, do you think the fruits you bought today are all sour?â Liao Tingyu said.
âI know, so what?â Huang Zilan didnât know.
Did he still need to hide something like this?
âNo, I mean you donât usually like sour food. Why did you buy sour food today? I ate a few, and they were sour and astringent. I didnât feel they were ripe at all. Why did you buy them back? Has your taste changed recently?â Liao Tingyu said.
Huang Zilan put down the things in his hands: âI havenât changed. Itâs just that besides the sour ones, there are no sweet ones here. I just buy some in case I got bored on the road.â
âIs that so?â Liao Tingyu was confused, âBut you ate three today. Hey. I only ate one.â
Huang Zilan was surprised, âDo you mean I ate too much? No, you ate so little because it didnât suit your appetite, and I ate three, it was relatively small. Not as much as usual.â
Liao Tingyu felt that Huang Zilan didnât understand what he meant at all.
How should I say this? If the happiness was really in vain, the disappointment left behind wouldnât be comfortable.
Forget it, let observed it first.
Liao Tingyu thought for a while and wanted to go to the hospital to see if everything was alright before leaving. He also grabbed a few sets of medicinal materials to keep ready in case there was any accident.
Huang Zilan followed Liao Tingyu to the medical clinic and said, âThe doctor wonât give you medicine without a prescription.â
âItâs okay. Iâll take a look at what they have and write a prescription myself. Let them get us medicine,â Liao Tingyu said.
âThen you can go in alone, why are you taking me?â Huang Zilan said strangely.
âNo matter what, we have to stay in there for an hour or two. After all, it is rare to meet someone with a fever and cold. I walked around alone for an hour or two. What do people think I do? Since the business at Renji Medical Center is booming, there is a higher chance of being caught. You go and line up first to help me block my sight, and I will go to the place where the doctor prescribes medicine and take a look.â Liao Tingyu explained.@@novelbin@@
âWhy do I feel like a thief? You are a thief and I am a thief.â Huang Zilan said jokingly.
âNonsense, Iâm here to learn from the master. You just go and line up, and the rest depends on what I do.â Liao Tingyu saw more and more people in front of him and quickly lowered his voice.
âOkay, Iâll listen to your orders. Itâs really a wonderful experience.â Huang Zilan couldnât laugh or cry. He never thought that the two of them would one day work together.
Sure enough, starting from playing the role of a book boy, I couldnât stop playing other roles.
Huang Zilan obediently was helped into the medical center by Liao Tingyu. The people inside were pretty good. Liao Tingyu found a seat and ran over to take a look at the prescription at Huang Zilanâs signal.
Looking at Huang Zilan out of the corner of his eye, he was having a great conversation with the couple dressed by a wealthy family next to him. As expected, he didnât need to worry about his wife.
Liao Tingyu took care of both sides. When the doctor looked at him several times, he immediately stepped forward and asked, âDoctor, how long will you take? My wife has been waiting here for a long time.â
âWhatâs the rush? Can this medical treatment be rushed?â After saying that, he lowered his head to write again.
Liao Tingyu relied on his photographic memory to memorize several prescriptions and diseases to treat.
Seeing that the team was really slow, he simply used an excuse to go to the latrine and write down the recipe silently.
After all, it was not bad to do a complete show and kill two birds with one stone.
When he came out, it wasnât Huang Zilanâs turn yet, so slow!
Several times, Huang Zilan wanted to leave, but Liao Tingyu stopped him.
âYouâre here, take a few more looks!â
Huang Zilan thought it was the scholarâs desire to learn that had awakened, so he followed him.
It was almost noon, and the doctor finally finished taking care the front and felt his pulseâ¦
