The Rough Hunter’s Little Lucky Wife Novel - Chapter 199

199 Sore Eyes

From Doctor Sun’s behavior and words, it was clear that Doctor Sun and Jiaojiao had known each other since they were young.

Zhao Zhan instinctively felt a sense of danger.

There were so many precious things in the luggage that he felt would be stolen if Doctor Sun’s apprentice took a second look at them.

“That’s fine. If you’re not tired, you can go and pack. Jiyan is a weak and gentle boy after all. Don’t fall when you’re carrying your luggage. Or else the both of you would be on this bed, haha!”

!!
At this moment, Yue Jiaojiao’s head was already like a porcupine. She blinked her eyes, not daring to move, and only pinched Zhao Zhan’s hand in return.

Zhao Zhan immediately knelt down on one knee in front of her and looked at her with a pained expression. “Don’t be afraid. This is supposed to help you.”

Yue Jiaojiao’s eyes were slightly red, entirely due to the physical pain.

She was highly sensitive to pain. She was not afraid at all, but her eyes were still red from the sting of the needle, it was as if she was about to cry.

Zhao Zhan wished he could bear it for her. He turned to look at Doctor Sun nervously. “Doctor Sun, how many more times do you need to perform acupuncture like this? Is there any other way that I can make my wife feel better?”

“I know that she can’t take the pain, so I’ve been as careful as I can.” Doctor Sun looked helpless. “She’s been like this ever since she was born. If someone were to hold her a little harder, she would immediately start wailing.”

Seeing that there was no other way, Zhao Zhan maintained his crouching position in front of Yue Jiaojiao and did not move at all. He kept looking at her with a focused expression.

After a while, Doctor Sun took out the needles.

When he took out the needle, Zhao Zhan held Yue Jiaojiao’s hand tightly and carefully brought his other hand to her lips. “If it hurts, you can bite me. When I was young, I often heard people say that this way, the pain can be transferred.”

“Alright, alright. It doesn’t take that long to remove the needles. I’m done.”

Doctor Sun glared at Zhao Zhan. “My eyes are hurting just from looking at you.”

Yue Jiaojiao’s eyes were red, and she couldn’t help but burst out laughing at Doctor Sun’s comment.

Doctor Sun put his silver needles into the medicine box and took out a porcelain bottle.

“There are pills in here, take one in the morning and one in the evening. Remember to take them consistently.

“I’ll take you to the rooms and back door. It would be best if you rested first. As for your husband, tell him to hurry back to the inn to pack his things while it’s still early.”

Although Doctor Sun was old, he was swift and decisive in his work. After he had settled the two people, he hurriedly returned to the backyard to pack his medicinal herbs.

“Zhao Zhan, I can go back with you.” Yue Jiaojiao called out to Zhao Zhan, who was about to head out. “We can take a stroll around the river mouth. It wasn’t easy for us to get to this place. We can’t just stay in our room and not go out just because the weather is cold. Besides, there’s no point in me staying here alone.”

“Your head though!”

“It doesn’t hurt anymore.”

Zhao Zhandidn’t want to leave her here either.

Although Doctor Sun’s apprentice seemed to be an upright person, Zhao Zhan’s hidden worry was that he was afraid that Doctor Sun’s apprentice would run over to find the person she used to love to rekindle her past.

What if her past lover was an admirable doctor in Hekou County? Whereas he was just an unremarkable, rough hunter in Wangshan Town. All the money-making methods he knew were learned from his lover too.

“Alright.” Zhao Zhan nodded his head vigorously. “Let’s go for a walk.”
