The Happy Farmer Wanderer-Chapter 119 Stimulation in the Sickroom_1

Thirty-two pounds of Wenguan Leaves had earned Li Qing a neat sum of three thousand eight hundred yuan.

When he stepped out the door, it felt as if his feet barely touched the ground, his steps so light and quick that he seemed to float.

"Qingzi, that money came easy," Gao Li said enviously.

Li Qing shook his head, "You can only earn this much at a time. Wenguan Leaves are extremely slow-growing, and picking these tender leaves is even harder. If you and Yang Xuelan have free time, you can also go into the mountains to gather some. I won’t take a cut from you."

Gao Li’s face lit up with anticipation, "That’s great. With such a high price per pound, if Xue Lan finds out, she’d probably forgo sleep to go pick them in the mountains at night."

"But make sure you and Xue Lan keep it to yourselves. Don’t spread it around, or if the villagers catch wind of the ins and outs, neither of our families will be able to earn anything," Li Qing hastily warned.

He actually handled today’s affair somewhat carelessly; it wasn’t wise to have let Gao Li tag along.

But it was a bit late for regrets now.

He could only hope that Gao Li would truly be discreet and keep a tight lid on things.

"Qingzi, you can trust me completely. Don’t you know what kind of person I am?" Gao Li said, thumping his chest with sworn sincerity.

Gao Li’s conduct was not exemplary, but his character was indeed decent.

Still, getting Li Qing to fully trust him was easier said than done.

But with matters as they were, Li Qing could only trust him for the moment and make amends later.

Seeing that there was still time, Li Qing asked Gao Li to drop him off at the hospital - it was time to change his dressing.

Gao Li dropped Li Qing off at the hospital entrance and left.

He said he wanted to stroll around and asked Li Qing to call him once he was done.

Li Qing agreed with a nod and walked into the hospital alone.

In the outpatient surgery clinic, after examining Li Qing’s wound, the doctor said, "It’s a bit inflamed. We’ll need to apply some medicine. Fortunately, you’re young and recovering quite well, but remember not to do any heavy lifting."

"Alright, thank you, Doctor."

Li Qing responded, took the prescriptions the doctor had written, and went to the infusion room.

As soon as he entered, he saw a familiar figure, giving instructions to a woman receiving an IV.

Even cloaked in a white lab coat, the shapely figure with curves in all the right places was unmistakable.

After giving his payment slip to the duty nurse, Li Qing approached the familiar figure.

Xu Keqing had just finished explaining care instructions to her patient and turned her head to see Li Qing.

A hint of surprise brightened her face, and with a squint of her eyes, she asked, "Are you here for a follow-up visit with me?"

The subtle charm that radiated from the corners of her eyes hooked Li Qing’s heart, making it skip a beat.

The "follow-up visits" Xu Keqing spoke of were surely not just routine checks.

And besides, if his lower body was already healed, what else was there to follow up on?

With that thought, Li Qing lifted his left arm, which he had just redressed, "I’d like to get a check-up on other areas first, but this is more urgent right now. I also have some injuries on my back."

"How did you end up like this again?" Xu Keqing asked in alarm.

Li Qing replied helplessly, "I ran into some troublemakers, and before I knew it, I got slashed a few times."

"You got into another fight?" Xu Keqing’s face immediately displayed a trace of displeasure.

"I couldn’t help it—I don’t provoke others, but they provoke me," Li Qing sighed in resignation.

Xu Keqing huffed, "Everyone who gets beaten claims they’re innocent and the fault lies with the other. But in my eyes, none of you are good. Don’t come to me for a follow-up. I don’t want to get involved with anyone."

Worried that Xu Keqing might misunderstand and truly detest him, Li Qing quickly gave her a rough explanation of the whole situation.

"That Hu guy went too far, didn’t he? But you, how could you be so reckless?" Xu Keqing’s tone softened, "If you weren’t careful and lost your life, what would you do then?"

"I had no choice. I couldn’t outfight them the legitimate way, so I had to resort to this last-ditch effort," Li Qing said with a bitter smile, "I didn’t expect those youngsters to dare to use knives."

"But now, at least, things have settled down for the most part. There shouldn’t be any problems."

"You really don’t make things easy for me," Xu Keqing grumbled as she shoved her hands into the pockets of her white lab coat. "Are you here for an IV drip?"

Li Qing nodded.

"Come find me in gynecology after you finish your drip!" Xu Keqing said with a flirtatious glance.

"Okay," Li Qing replied, his heart stirring.

It was this doctor, a stranger he had just met, who had gotten him infatuated with the thrill he felt in his mouth.

He knew for sure he’d be in for a treat later.

Just the mere thought had Li Qing unwittingly excited.

He hadn’t even started his medication yet, but his heart had already flown to the small bed in the gynecology examination room.

The female nurse came over with Li Qing’s medication in hand.

"Li Qing, right? Which arm should I use, oh, looks like it’s only the right arm."

Li Qing felt somewhat helpless; it was obvious.

After the needle was in place, Li Qing watched the medicine drip slowly from the IV bag, nearly scratching his head in anxiety.

He had already turned it up as high as it would go; to speed it up further would mean drinking the medicine directly.

After nearly two hours, Li Qing removed the needle and headed straight for the gynecology examination room.

By then, the hospital was close to closing time.

Only a few people were queued up outside the gynecology examination room.

Just as Li Qing reached the door, Xu Keqing, who was engrossed in checking a document, looked up and said, "Come in."

Li Qing glanced at the few women in line outside and felt a bit embarrassed.

For a man to appear in the gynecology examination room was rather awkward.

"Come in!" Xu Keqing urged again.

Li Qing had no choice but to go in, though reluctantly.

Xu Keqing pointed to the small bed inside, a bed with which Li Qing was all too familiar.

Li Qing was stunned for a moment.

Were they really going to go straight to it with patients still outside?

"Just wait a moment!"

Xu Keqing got up, called out to those outside, and walked over to draw the curtain.

"Get on, lie down, take it off!" she commanded with a rapid-fire succession that nearly made Li Qing’s head explode.

"There are still patients outside," Li Qing said in shock.

"It doesn’t matter, just get on," Xu Keqing said with a smile playing on her lips.

Li Qing, left with no other options, lay down and pulled down his pants.

Xu Keqing pulled several medical wipes from a nearby cupboard and meticulously wiped Li Qing down below.

"Every time I see this thing of yours, it always gives me a thrilling sense of shock. It’s so big!" she murmured and slowly bent over, parting her cherry lips slightly, and took Li Qing’s member into her mouth.

"Oh my..." Li Qing moaned with pleasure.

With several female patients still standing outside, Xu Keqing couldn’t wait to get started.

This made Li Qing both nervous and exhilarated.
