Country Maiden: Fields and Fortune

Chapter 607: Chapter 607, Ruthless Rejection (2 More)

"..." Xie Zhinuan glanced at Lu Yuyu, pursed her lips slightly, and then said, "There’s no need to rush for now; focus on recuperating your health first. Besides, the things the children are learning aren’t suitable for you!"

The more than ten children were ones Xie Zhinuan wanted to educate seriously, whether they could be of use to her or not. At the very least, she didn’t regret making the personal trip to lead them out of the mountain stronghold, even if it left them fatherless.

Not that they necessarily knew who their fathers were.

As such, the first lesson they would learn was about what one should and shouldn’t do as a gentleman, what distinguishes a gentleman from a petty man, what is good and what is evil.

Establishing a correct and positive outlook on life was essential.

Lu Yuyu was stunned.

She had thought that these children, being without parents, would deeply appreciate her care and become a great asset to her in the future. She hadn’t expected Xie Zhinuan to give no opportunity at all.

Could it be that her intentions had been seen through?

Madame He and Madame Zhang were no longer needed by Shitou and the others, so they remained to look after the women.

Xie Zhinuan began to take the pulses of the women.

She knew quite a bit about gynecological diseases, but it was her first time encountering such pulse conditions.

It wasn’t just about taking pulses; she needed to look at...

Upon hearing that they had to disrobe, the women’s faces reddened, and they stammered without being able to say a word.

"Actually, we are all women here, so there’s no need to be afraid. Whatever it is, aside from you and me, only the old master will know, and we won’t let anyone else find out a thing. Even the medicines I will have bought from outside in large quantities to avoid letting anyone know what diseases you have!"

Even though she planned to diagnose them, it wouldn’t happen instantly.

She still had to sew a few masks, and it would be good if she could make some gloves as well.

No matter how clean she washed her hands, they would still carry bacteria.

Xie Zhinuan thought carefully about whether there were gloves in the mysterious space.

As it turned out, her luck was exceptionally good; there was a rack filled with many gloves of an unknown material. She took and examined them closely but couldn’t determine the material. There were also many sets of surgical knives made from various materials.

"..."

She didn’t know what the owner of this space had been through to accumulate so many useful things.

However, she still took out two pairs. Chunyu had already made several masks according to her instructions, and made cover gowns from cloth.

"Miss, when do you plan to examine them?" Chunyu asked.

"I’ll start tomorrow, but this is my first time dealing with gynecological diseases, and also my first time coming into contact..."

It was just like dealing with dirty diseases, all for the first time.

After pondering for a while, Xie Zhinuan asked Chunyu to go on with her work, while she went back into the space to look for medical books on gynecology.

Standing in the space, Xie Zhinuan held her breath and stayed calm, while many things flashed through her mind. Once she knew the medical books on gynecology had appeared, she located them, took the books, and left the space.

The books detailed many gynecological diseases of various kinds, which were often related to internal diseases.

"..."

Xie Zhinuan flipped through them once, and with her exceptional memory, she had nearly memorized everything.

"Miss, it’s getting dark. Shall I prepare hot water for your bath now, or would you like to have dinner first?" Chunyu softly inquired.

Xie Zhinuan raised her eyes, twisting her somewhat stiff and swollen neck.

Considering she had not stopped working since her return that day, and felt somewhat sticky and grimy, she said, "Prepare the hot water for the bath first, have Ayi and the others gone to the dining hall yet?"

"Not yet!"

Xie Zhinuan hummed in acknowledgment.

After her bath, she felt much cleaner and refreshed. Looking at the two medical books on venereal and gynecological diseases, Xie Zhinuan thought it over and decided to consult with the old master after dinner, hoping he would give her some guidance in these areas.

"How’s the woman we rescued doing?"
