Chapter 236 Great pleasure
The two were talking happily until Zou Ping walked into the room with a bowl of boiled medicine and interrupted their conversation.
After Mayor Yang took the medicine, his complexion became more rosy and his mental state improved significantly. Mrs. Yuan and Yang Shang beside him finally showed a long-lost smile on their faces.
At this moment, the sky of Lotus Town seemed to become brighter because of this glimmer of hope.
For Xiao Zhixue, this unexpected encounter is not only a proof of her medical skills, but also an opportunity for her to restart her life in a foreign land.
The group of people in Longfei Village have always been notorious. They have done all kinds of evil and have blood on their hands. However, the emperor is far away and the majesty of the law seems to never reach this remote mountain area, allowing them to do whatever they want and the people are suffering.
Recently, there was news that this group of rampant bandits were finally sanctioned and got the punishment they deserved.
Mayor Yang felt extremely complicated about the news. In addition to shock, he felt a long-suppressed joy surging like a tide.
"Well done, it's really gratifying and justice is served!"
He was extremely excited. He clenched his fists and banged them hard on the bed. The sound was particularly crisp and loud in the quiet night.
His body could hardly bear the violent emotional fluctuations, and he burst into coughing fits, interspersed with hearty laughter, as if all the depression and helplessness he had felt for so many years were completely released at that moment.
When the servants and family members outside the door heard the laughter mixed with coughing, the stones in their hearts that had just been put down weighed down again. They became extremely worried, fearing that Mayor Yang's condition would worsen.
Madam Yuan looked worried. She was about to push the door to ask, but was gently stopped by Yang Shang who was standing beside her. "Mom, wait a little longer. Don't rush in to disturb Dad."
Mrs. Yuan had no choice but to stand at the door, feeling uneasy and anxiously waiting for movement in the room.
After Mayor Yang had laughed enough and calmed down a little, Xiao Zhixue spoke up, saying earnestly, "Mayor Yang, I'm telling you this because I have something to ask of you."
"Please tell me, young lady. I will do my best to help you as long as I can."
Although Mayor Yang was still very weak, he struggled to sit up because of the excitement in his heart.
Although his body was still weak, his spirit was obviously much better than before, and there was a determination in his eyes.
Xiao Zhixue looked solemn and revealed her concerns to Mayor Yang. She was worried that she would bring disaster to the family in the future because of her harsh actions.
After all, life is of great value. Even if the other party is a guilty bandit, he should be judged fairly by the law.
If the bodies of those bandits were discovered, it would only be a matter of time before they were reported to the authorities. By then, she, her family, and the villagers of Shangqiao Village would be in danger of being held accountable.
At first, she considered using corpse powder, but that was too extravagant.
Not only is corpse powder rare, but it's also expensive to make, and she really doesn't want to waste it so easily.
Upon hearing this, Mayor Yang's face became extremely solemn, knowing that this matter was of great importance.
He was deeply moved by Xiao Zhixue's trust, but he also felt the heavy responsibility on his shoulders.
He is a grateful person, so how could he stay out of it, especially when those bandits deserved to be killed. He should act cautiously and resolve this matter in a low-key manner.
"Don't worry, young lady. I will never reveal a word about this matter. As for the bodies of those bandits, I will send someone to bury them secretly tomorrow."
Seeing that her request was granted, Xiao Zhixue felt relieved. She stood up with satisfaction and said with a gentle smile, "It's getting late. Mayor, please have a good rest. I'll go ahead."
After saying this, she turned and left with decisive movements.
Mayor Yang watched Xiao Zhixue's back gradually disappearing into the distance, his heart filled with indescribable gratitude and excitement.
Originally, he planned to use the little savings left in his family as a thank you, but he didn't expect that Xiao Zhixue not only refused to accept a penny, but also brought him an exciting piece of good news.
It can be said that it was Xiao Zhixue who helped him solve the biggest worry in his heart, so he naturally could not go back on his word.
So, as soon as Xiao Zhixue left the house, he prepared to personally see her off from the mayor's mansion.
Everyone outside the door looked at Xiao Zhixue, full of curiosity and anticipation.
Madam Yuan couldn't hold back her anxiety and asked hurriedly, "Miss, has my master's condition improved?"
She had heard Mayor Yang laughing and coughing earlier, but the sudden silence made her feel uneasy and very uneasy.
Xiao Zhixue smiled at Madam Yuan and said softly, "Madam, don't worry. The mayor's condition has improved significantly. He only needs to rest for three days and he will be fully recovered."
Mrs. Yuan nodded yes repeatedly, her heart filled with joy, and she even forgot to say goodbye to Xiao Zhixue formally, and hurriedly turned around and went into the house.
Seeing this, the others also breathed a sigh of relief and smiled with satisfaction on their faces.
In order to thank Xiao Zhixue for saving his father's life, Yang Shang personally sent her out of the mansion.
Xiao Zhixue left the mayor's mansion and headed towards the inn.
Jiuer, who was lying on her shoulder, woke up slowly at this time. She was very sleepy as soon as she entered the room and took a nap.
The cool breeze on its face instantly made it feel much more awake.
"Benefactor, is the mayor's illness really cured?"
Jiuer looked back at the tightly closed door of the mayor's mansion.
Xiao Zhixue nodded gently and relaxed her body slightly.
Jiuer chirped and praised: "I knew that your medical skills were so superb, there is no disease that you can't cure."
Xiao Zhixue raised a faint smile and looked at Jiuer with a teasing look in her eyes: "Didn't you just doubt my ability? How come you changed your tone and started flattering me in the blink of an eye?"
Jiuer said with a playful smile: "Oh, benefactor, I was just joking with you, how could I really doubt your medical skills."
Xiao Zhixue no longer bothered with Jiuer and quickened her pace back to the inn.
There was a knock on the door and the waiter came quickly to greet us.
He still remembered the scene when Xiao Zhixue went out late at night. He wanted to ask her the reason, but found that she was no longer in his sight.
Seeing her coming back again, he couldn't help but ask curiously, "Sir, where did you go just now, and why did you take so long?"
Fortunately, Xiao Zhixue came back alone, without any remnants of Longfei Village following her.
The waiter felt a little relieved.
Xiao Zhixue yawned and replied lazily, "I went to see the mayor. I'm very sleepy now. Don't disturb me."
As soon as she finished speaking, Xiao Zhixue went upstairs, opened the door, and walked into the room to rest.
The waiter stood there in a daze, watching her disappear behind the door.
Everyone in Lianhua Town knew that Mayor Yang had been ill for more than a year. He was surprised that Xiao Zhixue was actually a skilled female doctor who cured the mayor.
I must inquire in detail tomorrow morning to confirm whether the mayor's condition has really improved.
If anything goes wrong because of Xiao Zhixue, they will never be allowed to leave Lianhua Town easily.
Jiuer was still leaning on Xiao Zhixue's shoulder, with no intention of leaving.
It was in no hurry to fly away until she entered the room.
Seeing Jiu'er flying to the table, Xiao Zhixue was worried that it would disturb Zhou Shuqiong who was sleeping, so she asked softly, "Why don't you go back to your master? Why are you running to me?"
