Du Zhongheng closed his book, got up, and clapped his hands, indicating for the babies to go out and wash their hands to eat.

Everyone quickly sat at the same table. Although Mo Ruyue wasn’t there, the atmosphere didn’t seem awkward at all.

The taste of the food made by the Liu couple was the typical taste of a farmer’s firewood rice. It was especially fragrant, but it was still far from Mo Ruyue’s cooking.

Although Du Zhongheng had tasted Mo Ruyue’s cooking before and could not forget it, it was his first time tasting the Liu couple’s cooking. his eyes also widened when he ate it.

“Uncle Liu, Aunt Liu, why does this food smell so good? They’re all made from the same rice, vegetables, and meat. Why is it so rare to find such a taste in the city?”

As he spoke, he picked up another piece of stir-fried meat with garlic moss. The fresh and tender garlic moss had a sweet juice to it. It was clearly a dish, but it seemed to melt in his mouth. With the fragrant white rice, he could eat three big bowls of it!

“Mr. Du, you must be joking. We mountain people don’t know how to do the delicate work of the city people. We just cut and stir-fried the food casually and don’t pay much attention to it. If there’s anything different, perhaps it’s because you’ve never tried this kind of food before, so you’re just eating something new.”

Uncle Liu was rarely so clear-headed and did not take Du Zhongheng’s praise to heart.

Mo Ruyue would not deliberately force the babies to follow the rule of not speaking when eating. Du Zhongheng himself was also a person who did not follow the rules, so everyone talked about everything at the table, and it was very lively for a while.

No one noticed that a black shadow had quietly landed on the roof and was looking down at them from above.

She’s actually not here?

The black shadow looked around but did not see Mo Ruyue. His thick black eyebrows could not help but furrow.

Seeing that the black horse in the stable had been replaced with a brown horse, it meant that the person had come back before. Did he miss it?

He touched his chest, where there was a thick stack of silver notes. This was the consultation and medical expenses that he was going to personally hand to her. Of course, there was also the nutrition fee for the tonic medicine and chicken soup.

At that time, she had clearly said that she didn’t need him to repay her kindness, as long as he didn’t appear again. However, to him, he would never owe her any favor, let alone the favor of saving his life.

So, after he had collected enough money, he came back.

His photographic memory allowed him to easily remember the location of her house. In their last short encounter, he had learned that she was also a person who knew martial arts, and her skills were not weak.

He didn’t know why, but he felt that she gave him a familiar feeling. However, she was always on guard against him, so it wasn’t convenient for him to get closer to her to verify that feeling.

Besides, he was in a critical condition at the time and didn’t want to let the danger affect her, so he left quietly after his injuries were slightly better.

That’s right, if she was here, she would have noticed me before I even got close. How could she have let me land safely on her roof?

The black figure shook his head and thought to himself.

Otherwise, leave a note?

He didn’t want to disturb the five babies, and looking at the gentle and handsome young man sitting below, he had such a good relationship with the babies. He should have a close relationship with her, right?

He shook his head again, this time with more force.

Why did he suddenly think of this question? She was a widow, so it was not impossible for her to be close to any man. What did it have to do with him?

Under the cover of the cheers and laughter below, the black shadow stuffed the silver notes into a money bag, which was also filled with anti-snake, rat, insect and ant drugs. This way, even if he put it in a more hidden place, he would be fine, right?

Originally, he had wanted to hand these silver notes to Mo Ruyue personally, but since she wasn’t here, it meant that fate had ended last time.

This was also good. In the future, he no longer owed her anything and could leave in peace to find that person.

The black shadow patiently crouched on the roof, watching the banquet end below, watching the babies clean up the yard by clearing the bowls and chopsticks to digest their food, and watching them return to the “classroom” to study.

After the courtyard quieted down, he landed quietly and jumped into Mo Ruyue’s room through the window. He quickly jumped out and then jumped onto the wall, disappearing into the night without looking back.

At this moment, Mo Ruyue was tidying up Qing Xi’s medical records in the clinic. From the time she went to treat Qing Xi to the entire treatment process today, including the prescriptions and so on, everything had been sorted into a book.

Qing Xi would have to wait until her body had recovered to a certain extent before she could use it to report to the magistrate. Whether he could understand it or not was one thing, and whether she would show it to him was another.

Suddenly, someone knocked on the door a few times, and Imperial Doctor Tian entered.

“Elder Tian, why did you come over? Why aren’t you home yet?”

When Mo Ruyue went back to look for the babies, she had asked Imperial Doctor Tian to help take care of Qing Xi temporarily. Now, she was the one taking care of her at night. Imperial Doctor Tian was already old and almost no longer had night duty.

“Lady Qin, Qing Xi’s operation was very successful this time. I think there will be more similar or more difficult cases to find you in the future. Now that I’m old and not as energetic as before, I don’t know how many more times I can partner with you. Or maybe you’ll take in an apprentice or an assistant?”

Imperial Doctor Tian’s gaze was very far away. He knew that Mo Ruyue would not be trapped in a small Huichun Hall, even this county city could not keep her.

When Mo Ruyue left in the future, it would be great if he could leave something for Huichun Hall.

Mo Ruyue thought for a moment and guessed Imperial Doctor Tian’s meaning. However, she didn’t feel any resentment. After all, from the beginning when he invited her to join Huichun Hall, Imperial Doctor Tian’s purpose was obvious.

He was a person who had seen many things in the palace. Naturally, he knew that a person like her would not be willing to stay in this small county for her entire life. So it was understandable that he had to plan for Huichun Hall from now on.

“Elder Tian, you know that I’m most afraid of trouble. If it wasn’t for your superb medical skills and mild temperament, ordinary people wouldn’t be able to get used to my bad temper. So, I think it’s better to forget about partnering with others.”

From her past life to this life, Mo Ruyue had only had one partner, but now the two were separated by time and space, life and death. No one should be able to replace her position.

“Then, if one day I can’t perform the surgery with you, won’t I have to adapt to different strangers? Or are you confident that you don’t need anyone’s assistance and can complete such a complicated surgery on your own?”

It was not Imperial Doctor Tian’s first time performing surgery with Mo Ruyue. He knew very well that she actually had the ability to do so, but the situation on the operating table changed rapidly. Who could guarantee that she could handle it alone from the beginning to the end without making any mistakes?
