After Ethan arrived in town, he was immediately dragged to the clinic by his classmate.
There was a long line outside the clinic, all of them looking for that godly doctor.
The two of them stood at the end of the line.
His classmate stood on his tiptoes to look: "It's not too late, we should be able to get in line."
"I'll give you the fees later." Ethan said.
His classmate patted his chest: "You and I are from the same school and town, why are you being so polite? Oh right, are you hungry? "
He went out in a hurry and didn't eat anything, Ethan didn't eat either.
He took out a clean little bag from his wide sleeve and opened it to reveal three beautiful cornmeal steamed buns.
"Where did these steamed buns come from?" Ethan felt that these steamed buns were a bit familiar.
His classmate said: "I took them from your stove, they were just steamed when I went!"
Ethan frowned: "How many did you leave?"
His classmate said strangely: "Isn't there a total of three? You made the steamed buns yourself, don't you remember? "
Ethan pursed his lips and didn't say anything.
After a while, he said: "Why didn't you leave one for her?"
His classmate was startled: "You mean that evil woman? Why leave one for her? Hasn't she harmed you enough? Moreover, she doesn't eat the food you make! "
His classmate picked up a steamed bun and took a bite, his eyes instantly widening: "Brother Ethan, why are the steamed buns you made today so delicious?"
Ethan walked out of the line.
His classmate was stunned: "Brother Ethan, where are you going? It's almost your turn! "
Ethan didn't say anything and just walked forward with his head lowered.
His classmate looked at the long line that almost reached the alley and anxiously stamped his feet. He said to the woman behind him: "Auntie, we're going to the toilet, we'll be right back!"
He caught up to Ethan: "What are you doing?"
" Cake," Ethan said as he walked through the alley and came to baker's shop.
Baker was a century-old shop. The number of people lining up here was no less than that of the medical hall.
His classmate became anxious. "Are you crazy? He really want to bought cake for that evil woman! Do you know that Doctor Jin only sees patients for half a day? By the time you buy the cake, it will be too late! "
Ethan was a stubborn person. Once he decided on something, no one could change his mind.
Two hours later, Ethan bought baker's Cake.
"I hope Doctor Jin hasn't left yet!" His classmate pulled Ethan to the clinic.
However, when they arrived at the entrance of the clinic, they found that the long queue had disappeared. There was only a group of people who were watching the fun, as well as a group of dignified soldiers.
His classmate looked at the middle-aged man and asked, "Uncle, did something happen here? Why are all the patients gone? "
The middle-aged man said, "Just now, a lunatic rushed into the clinic and said that the doctor in the clinic had killed his wife. He took a knife and slashed randomly. The people inside were all injured! Did you see the auntie at the entrance? She was the last one to go in. Just as she entered, that lunatic came! She was lucky and ran out, but she also fell and broke her head! "
Wasn't that auntie the one who was behind them in the queue?
If they hadn't left, then the last one to go in would have been Ethan.
With Ethan's legs, there was no way he could have run out. Then, he was most likely one of the people who had been slashed.
On the way back, the two of them didn't say a word.
The sky gradually darkened, and the carriage moved along the quiet path, the wheels creaking.
At this time, the carriages in town were unwilling to go to the countryside. They spent twenty copper coins to rent a mule cart. It didn't have a carriage, only a simple black canopy that leaked air from the front and back.
The two of them were so cold that their hands and feet were stiff.
Suddenly, a thin and weak figure entered Ethan's line of sight.
Ethan's gaze froze.
This was a fork in the road.
In front was the road back to the village. In the west was the road to the market.
On the small path from the market, Scarlett was carrying a heavy basket and was panting as she walked.
The afterglow of the setting sun had already scattered. She was covered in the last bit of twilight, her bones were thin.
She raised her hand to wipe her sweat, revealing the bandage on her wrist. There were traces of blood on the bandage.
"Stop the carriage." Scarlett said.
The carriage driver stopped the carriage.
"Why do we have to stop the carriage?" His classmate asked in confusion. Then, he saw Scarlett walking over on foot.
Scarlett didn't notice them and treated it as an ordinary mule cart. She didn't look up. She turned around and walked past the carriage.
"Come up." Ethan opened his mouth to say.
Scarlett turned her head and looked at Ethan in astonishment. Sitting next to Ethan was the classmate from the day before.
His classmate still had a face of disgust, but he didn't say anything like not allowing Ethan to talk to him.
"Come up." Ethan said again in a cold voice.
He was clearly a sixteen or seventeen year old youth, but he had a calmness and aura that didn't belong to his age.
Scarlett hesitated for a moment before going up.
She sat across from Ethan and put the basket on her back on the ground.
Ethan looked at the basket and said, "You went to the market?"
Scarlett nodded. "Yes, I went to sell two chickens and bought some rice and flour." She also did some other things.
Ethan looked at her deeply as if he saw something, but he didn't say a word.
His classmate looked at Scarlett with a strange expression. This stupid woman also knew how to do business?
Scarlett didn't seem to notice his gaze and asked Ethan, "What about you? Did you see the doctor in town today? "
"You still want to talk about it! It's all your fault! If you didn't want to eat cake, how could we miss Doctor Jin's consultation? "His classmate wouldn't tell her that because he went to buy cake for her, Brother Ethan avoided a disaster.
"That … … is really regretful." Scarlett lowered her eyes and muttered.
She said regretful words, but it made people feel that she didn't regret it at all. Could it be that she already knew about the medical center?
Impossible. With her personality, how could she be so calm after knowing that she accidentally saved Brother Ethan? Last time, she saved Brother Ethan and forced him to marry her. If she saved him again, wouldn't she go to heaven?
His classmate sneered, "I ate the cake! I won't let you off so easily! "
Scarlett calmly said, "Oh."
His classmate's punch landed on cotton.
After that, they didn't say anything else.
A very majestic carriage came towards them.
His classmate's mind shook and he sat up straight, "Quickly look! That's the principal's carriage! "
"What principal?" Scarlett asked.
His classmate said, " Heaven Academy's principal! Brother Ethan is going to take the exam in three days! The principal is from the capital and was once the head of the capital's four great scholars. He's very knowledgeable and knowledgeable. His results from twenty years ago have never been surpassed by anyone! Getting a word of advice from him is better than studying for ten years! If I could become his disciple, how good would that be! But I heard that the principal hasn't accepted any disciples for many years. I've been in the academy for half a year and haven't even seen the principal's face … … "
His classmate chattered on. He was so excited that he forgot that he was talking to the person he hated the most.
In the carriage.
The principal, who was dressed in a white uniform, sat respectfully at the side. In the main seat was an old man dressed in cotton clothes.
The old man's left arm was wrapped in bandages and he held a small broken umbrella in his arms. His face was faintly visible with a large footprint from who knows where.
This appearance made the principal speechless. He also didn't know and he didn't dare to ask.
He respectfully bowed, "Why did you suddenly leave the mountain? Why didn't you tell me so that I could send someone to pick you up?"
