Li Han rolled over on the bed. The more she thought about it, the more unbalanced she felt. She suddenly grabbed the iron pole by the bed, stuck her head out, and looked down. She shouted, “Xin Yan, Xin Yan, are you asleep?”
Xin Yan replied, “No, why?”
Li Han’s tone suddenly became agitated, “Xin Yan, why don’t you go find that man and attract his attention!”
Xin Yan was momentarily stunned, then replied angrily, “Li Han, what nonsense are you talking about?”
Seeing Xin Yan’s anger, Li Han changed her tone, “Oh, I was just kidding. I just thought that if that man loses interest in Ye Ling, she will have no one to rely on. Who knows, she might have to move out of the double room. I can’t stand people like her taking advantage. ”
Xin Yan was still a bit down and chose to ignore Li Han’s words. Li Han felt a bit embarrassed, so she asked softly, “But, Xin Yan, didn’t you say you like strong and masculine boys? That man should be your type, right?”

Xin Yan responded with frustration, “Li Han, can you please stop speculating about others based on your thoughts?”
Li Han quickly tried to make amends. “Okay, okay, I won’t say anything more.
Don’t be angry, okay?”
The dormitory returned to silence.
The next day, Ye Ling woke up early. After a simple morning routine, she went to work at the pharmacy.
Yun Jie had already been sorting out herbs in the pharmacy. When she saw Ye Ling arrive, she handed Ye Ling a set of white coarse clothes from a nearby package.
Ye Ling changed into the clothes.
Yun Jie explained, “Actually, there’s no need to dress so formally. But Sister Gao said that it would make us look more professional and gain the trust of the villagers.”
Ye Ling couldn’t help but smile. “That seems to make sense.”
Yun Jie pointed to several bags on a wooden table and continued, “This is a batch of herbs that arrived from elsewhere yesterday. Today, we will organize them and put them into storage. By the way, our pharmacy also purchases herbs from the villagers. The wholesale prices from the town and other places are more expensive, so the purchase price from villagers is much cheaper.”
Ye Ling nodded and listened attentively. At the same time, she was guessing in her mind, “I wonder if the medical shop in the black market has partnered with the pharmacy. If they have…”
There weren’t many people coming in the morning to collect medicines. Midway through, a person who had been bitten by a scorpion on their way home arrived at the pharmacy.
Yun Jie had never dealt with such an emergency before and was feeling a bit panicked and lost. At this moment, Ye Ling had already pressed her hand near the wound and quickly squeezed out the venom.
During the wound treatment, Ye Ling asked Yun Jie to prepare alkaline water. After Yun Jie brought it, Ye Ling rinsed and disinfected the wound using alkaline water. She then applied herbs with pain -relieving properties to the wound.
After completing these tasks, Ye Ling finally let out a sigh of relief. She said to the patient, “It’s nothing serious. The scorpion isn’t venomous. Don’t worry. If you feel uncomfortable later on, you can go to the clinic or the pharmacy.”
Ye Ling’s calm tone helped ease the patient’s nervousness. He thanked her repeatedly and inquired about the charges. Ye Ling replied, “You only need to pay for the medicine and herbs.”
The patient had initially expected a high consultation fee considering Ye Ling’s intervention. When he heard he only needed to pay for the medicine and herbs, he immediately relaxed and expressed his gratitude again.
After the patient left, Yun Jie looked at Ye Ling with admiration and said, “Thanks to you, I wouldn’t have known what to do.”
Ye Ling gave a faint smile and said, “Actually, the treatment method isn’t that difficult. You’ve seen it once. If a similar situation arises next time, you’ll be able to handle it on your own.”
Finishing their discussion, Ye Ling placed a hand on her stomach. The wound treatment had taken up a considerable amount of time, and it was almost 1
p.m. They hadn’t had lunch yet.
Yun Jie informed her, “I forgot to mention, the kitchen doesn’t have very complete utensils and seasonings. So, Ji Mei and I brought our packed meals. At lunchtime, we heat the food in the kitchen before eating. But don’t worry, I brought extra food today. We can share. By the way, a few days ago, villagers who came to sell herbs gave us some sweet potatoes. Let’s roast sweet potatoes for dinner.”
Ye Ling had no objections. They proceeded to the kitchen to reheat the food, enjoying a simple lunch.
In the afternoon, there weren’t many visitors seeking medicines, so Ye Ling and Yun Jie sat behind the counter and engaged in casual conversation..
