"Come on, that dish is delicious. You should try it. It will definitely be worth the trip."
He continued talking to himself, acting on his own initiative, and directly pulled Lin Xueyin towards a somewhat quaintly decorated restaurant not far away. Lin Xueyin was already making whimpering sounds; she couldn't eat that kind of food...
Volume 1 The Transmigrated Wet Nurse: Chapter Twelve Interception
"Yes, the treatment is complete, and the injuries are almost healed."
He patted the bare back of the patient in front of him, which was covered with knife scars. Although he had offered to heal all the scars, the patient refused outright.
"Scars are a man's medals."
Emmm, I know what that means, but you're saying it to my face, especially in a tone that makes me really uncomfortable. Did you even consider how I feel?
Lin Xueyin pouted, and before the other party could react, she secretly used a recovery skill again. Then, hehe, we've erased all your medals.
"Xueyin, how's business today? How's it going?"
Leaning against the door frame with her arms crossed, Aria looked at Lin Xueyin, who had just finished her work. Her once neatly styled bangs were now disheveled and stuck to her forehead, and Aria felt an urge to tidy up her hair again.
"Hey, Aria, you're back. How was it? Did you have any success on this trip?"
Thinking back to a couple of days ago, she took her shopping. After buying clothes and eating something else, when they came back, she saw that her shop had already hung up its signboard, and many townspeople and mercenaries were waiting for her return.
It started off harmoniously, and business is going smoothly. Now, I can receive many mercenaries and townspeople every day, so my skills have also improved a lot. At least some important skills have all been upgraded to the highest level, especially in single-target healing.
"It's alright, but there hasn't been much progress. I wonder how Ilga is doing. I hope they'll be safe on their way back to the capital."
“Ilga?” Tilting her head, she remembered the man who always followed behind Aria and looked at her with concern. He had short brown hair and was quite masculine-looking, but he was always very gentle with Aria.
"Don't worry, there are so many of them, there won't be any problems." Lin Xueyin waved her hand and prepared to treat the next mercenary, but after waiting for a while, no one came in.
Looking at the door with a puzzled expression, Aria couldn't help but smile. Looking at her confused little face, she continued, "You silly girl, those mercenaries have all left. They said they'd come back this afternoon so you can get some rest."
"Huh? Didn't I say yesterday that we didn't need to do that?" I can earn a lot of money during my rest time. We're actually quite short of money right now, you know.
Thinking about the seasonings in her portable shop, although they were very cheap, they didn't have a change function, so she had to spend a lot of money every time she bought them. However, she couldn't get used to the seasonings in this world, so Lin Xueyin had no choice but to spend extra money on them every day.
"Alright, hurry up and get ready. I'm taking you to eat lizard cuisine. Um... hey, Yukine, what's wrong with you?"
Seeing the girl, who was already pale and clutching her stomach, sneaking out, Aria was a little confused. What was going on?
"What's wrong? Aria, you should share your lizard dish with someone else." Thinking about the lizard dish she had last time, it was practically inedible.
Boil the small lizard, chopped into pieces, in water, then add some strange ingredients. With the lizard's eyes rolling back and staring at you, who could possibly eat that?
"It's not that delicious..." Suddenly, she remembered that the last time they ate together, this girl only secretly ate some other vegetables and didn't eat any at all. At the time, she thought it was because she had a small appetite, but she didn't expect that she just couldn't get used to the taste.
"Okay, go ahead and eat. I have plenty of food at home, I can just cook something myself."
Lin Xueyin bought some seasonings at her personal shop and then went to the kitchen behind her shop. She took out a piece of ordinary pork that the mercenary had given her and cut it into chunks.
"Yukine, you can cook? What are you planning to make?"
"Just sit there and wait. And next time, you absolutely cannot mention lizard meat to me again. I absolutely, absolutely, absolutely will not eat that kind of thing."
"No way, I think it tastes pretty good." Seeing Lin Xueyin's determined look and hearing her unquestionable tone, Ailiya was a little unsettled. Was it really that big of a deal? It was just a little lizard meat, why was it so exaggerated?
"Huh? I'd rather jump off here and starve to death than eat that wicked lizard meat you're talking about."
"Yes, yes, I won't eat it, okay? Then I'll try your cooking today."
Standing in front of the kitchen door, watching the busy girl inside, Aria's gentle gaze fell on the petite figure.
"Okay, then you can try my grass-fed pork."
"Hmm? Grass-fed pork?" Hearing about the main dish, Aria raised her eyebrows. Even though her family was a minor noble family, this kind of meat would never appear on the table. She rarely tasted such commoner food.
"What, can't we eat grass-fed pork?" Hearing Ailiya's somewhat surprised tone, Lin Xueyin merely glanced at her. Of course, the concept of class distinctions between nobles and commoners simply didn't exist in her mind.
"It's nothing, I'm just a little looking forward to it."
Considering that Lin Xueyin had always lived in the mountains and had never been in contact with the outside world, it was normal for some of her behaviors to be a little strange.
With a chopping sound, the pork on the cutting board had been cut into many small pieces. Then, Lin Xueyin took out some ingredients that she didn't recognize one by one.
"Just you wait and see."
Meanwhile, far from Yorktown, dozens of Imperial warriors were galloping on horseback along the main road.
"Quickly, we need to come back as soon as we finish reporting. The captain's situation in Yorktown is very unsafe."
They were the Imperial Guards who had explored the Lone Wolf Cave with Lin Xueyin in Yorktown, and were also Aria's subordinates. After the exploration, Aria had them return to the capital ahead of schedule to report some clues to her teacher.
"Ilja, after this mission is over, you should confess to the captain. She's already 17, the age to get married. If you don't take the initiative, she might run off with someone else."
"Go away, why are you running? Don't you know what kind of person our captain is? It's not that simple." The man called Ilga was one of the warriors riding at the very front.
"Haha, then you should also make sure you're in a relationship soon, otherwise how will the captain know what you're thinking?"
"Honestly, you all, why do you care so much?" He gently placed his hand under his neck, where the captain had once given these comrades as a talisman.
"When I get back, I'll confess to the captain. Whether he agrees or not, I'll make it clear."
"Exactly... Who is this person..."
The neighing of horses caused dozens of soldiers to rein in their horses and stop in the middle of the road. A person completely covered in a black cloak walked step by step towards them.
"You think you can just kill my pet and walk away like that? Isn't that a bit too naive?"
Volume 1: The Transmigrated Wet Nurse - Chapter Thirteen: The Delinquent
The people of Yorktown were unaware of what was happening on the official road; they continued with their lives as usual. Meanwhile, Aria and Lin Xueyin were enjoying the delicious food that Lin Xueyin had personally prepared in the shop's restaurant.
"Hmm, Yukine, I didn't expect you to be so amazing not only in healing but also in cooking. How could I bear to leave you? Why don't you cook for me from now on? You could do it for the rest of your life without any problem."
"To do it for a lifetime?" That's what that woman said back then, holding the lamb leg that I had specially roasted for her, eating it with her mouth full of oil, and saying that she wanted me to cook delicious food for her for the rest of her life.
However, after promising her that she would disappear without a trace, even though she had left the mountains, she had no idea where to look for her.
"Yukine, Yukine."
"Huh? Aria, what's wrong?"
"What happened to you just now? I called you for ages and you didn't answer. I thought something had happened to you." Ailiya breathed a sigh of relief when she saw Lin Xueyin finally come to her senses.
"It's nothing, I was just thinking about some things from the past." With a slight wry smile, Lin Xueyin used a fork to pick up a piece of braised pork and put it on Ailiya's plate.
"If you like, you can come eat here. The mercenaries who come here for treatment sometimes bring me some cut meat, which I can't finish. If you come, you can help me digest it."
"That's more like it." He knew that Lin Xueyin couldn't possibly cook for him for the rest of his life, but it was still nice to have something to look forward to. At least while they were in Yorktown, there was still delicious food to enjoy.
"Hmm, it tastes really good, Yukine. Actually, if you weren't a priest, you would be a great chef too."
She rolled her eyes at him and said, "Hurry up and eat, even meat can't shut you up."
"Haha, Yukine, are you shy?"
"Are you stupid? Am I just shy? Does that count?" He picked up a piece of red and white braised pork with his fork and stuffed it into his mouth.
"Okay, no..."
Bang! A loud bang, clearly the sound of a door being kicked open, choked Aria's words, leaving her speechless.
"Anyone breathing? Get out here right now, you old men."
Frowning, Lin Xueyin wondered if she had encountered some kind of medical dispute. She recalled some incidents she had witnessed in hospitals back on Earth.
After the facts are reported by the media, who knows what the truth is? However, I still understand one thing: no matter what, the final consequences of medical disputes will fall on the patients.
Imagine if doctors are afraid to give their lives and only want to prolong life, then in the end, wouldn't the patients always pay the price? Even if someone kills or insults a doctor, in the end, when people get sick, they still have to go to a doctor.
Just like teachers, there are good and bad ones. Under the media, who can distinguish right from wrong? Uh, I'm getting off-topic. I patted my cheeks, smiled slightly, walked out of the restaurant, glanced at the treatment room across the street, and seeing that there was nothing wrong, I turned and walked towards the lobby, which was also where the injured mercenaries usually waited.
"How can I help you?"
Looking at the few casually dressed young men outside, although they didn't have the typical "emo" style, a strong sense of delinquency still wafted over them.
"Who gave you permission to open a shop here? Did you even ask our boss?"
Stunned by Lin Xueyin's beauty, the men revealed malicious smiles. "Do you know that this street is under our protection? If you open a shop here, you have to pay us at least 10 gold coins as protection money every day."
"Ten gold coins? Is this robbery?"
With her almond-shaped eyes wide open, Lin Xueyin stared in disbelief at the men in front of her. She had been living here for several days and was no longer the naive girl she once was.
Ten gold coins—that's enough for a family of three in a small town to live on for a year! To have to hand over so much in a single day is simply impossible.
"Of course, you don't have to give it to us, as long as... hehe, you understand?"
They made a lewd gesture with their fingers, which made Lin Xueyin so angry that she wanted to beat these bastards to a pulp. She was working hard here to treat and save people, and they came here to extort money from her. They had no humanity at all.
"Yukine, what's wrong?"
Hearing Lin Xueyin's scolding outside from inside the restaurant, Ailiya came out somewhat uneasy. She had initially thought it was a patient in a hurry, but now it sounded like someone was causing trouble.
However, since she was there to have dinner with Lin Xueyin, Ailiya wasn't wearing her armor; instead, she was dressed in casual, practical clothes.
"Hey, there's a beautiful girl inside! Today's our lucky day! Hahaha."
One lewd laugh after another echoed in Lin Xueyin and Ailiya's ears. The hot-tempered Ailiya could hardly contain herself. Even if this was Xueyin's shop, she absolutely could not let them get away with it.
Just as his clenched fists were about to be thrown, he realized with dismay that his fists had lost their target. It wasn't that the opponent could turn invisible; rather, the girl who was breathing on his fists had already taken care of everything.
With one foot stomping on the thugs who were lying on the ground after being beaten, his eyes were full of disdain. "You dare to come here and cause trouble? Who gave you the courage?"
"Waaah." Wasn't the person who ran the shop here supposed to be a delicate female priest? How come she's so violent when she hits people? Could this be the priest's bodyguard? But I've never heard of the priest hiring bodyguards.
"I'm telling you, we're from Greedy Wolf Stronghold. If you don't release us right now, don't blame our boss for being impolite. Unless you can protect that priest indefinitely, we'll make sure she dies a horrible death."
"Pastor, are there any other pastors here?"
Blinking, Lin Xueyin felt a little strange, but that didn't stop her from continuing to punish these delinquents who still dared to spout nonsense at her.
"I'll teach you a lesson for being impolite. I'll make sure you die a horrible death. Tell me, who sent you? If you don't tell me, don't blame me for being impolite."
Although they were just a pair of small fists, they could still land a punch with force. Lin Xueyin looked at the delinquents lying on the ground pretending to be dead with a mocking expression.
"I just owe the casino some money, and that's why I came here..."
"Owe money? I think you owe a beating." Raising her small fist, Lin Xueyin fiercely swung it at the men on the ground whose heads had already been beaten into pig-like shapes.
"I'll talk, I'll talk. It was a man in a black cloak who sent us here to cause trouble. If I had known the people here were this violent... no, this outrageous, I would never have come."
"A black cloak? What does he look like?" Arya frowned, somewhat puzzled. Wouldn't it be better to have a priest here? Why would he come here to cause trouble?
