Chapter 269: Chapter 269 Sick Leave

Translator: Dragon Boat Translation Editor: Dragon Boat Translation

Gu Chengrui took the x-ray film and glanced at it. “Oh, I really hurt my bones. Fortunately, it’s only a slight fracture. I’ll be fine after a good rest.”

“I think you should rest at home for a few days. You can go to the clinic when you’re almost fully recovered.” Zhou Ying advised after letting out a sigh of relief.

“That’s true. The clinic isn’t busy now, so I’ll rest at home for a few days.”

“Alright, I’ll just give you a simple massage. After I’m done, you can lie down and rest.” After Zhou Ying finished speaking, she went to the bathroom with him.

She filled half a basin with warm water and helped him wipe his back.

After she helped him wipe his body, she cleaned his wound with iodophor, applied some safflower oil, and finally wrapped it twice with gauze to prevent the medicinal oil from getting on the bed.

After she was done, she helped him put on a vest and said, “Alright, you can rest. I’ll be busy for a while.”

Gu Chengrui did not insist this time because he realized that the injury on his back was getting more and more painful; even standing was getting a little tricky.

He had no choice but to drink a spoonful of sleeping-inducing powder to help him sleep.

After Zhou Ying finished her work, she fed the animals in her grassland and then went to the mountains to work.

She also prepared 100 pounds of black flour, 500 shiitake mushrooms stuffed buns with black fungus and chicken, 500 mutton and radish stuffed buns, and approximately 300 beef stuffed buns.

After she was done, she used her mental power to take a black fish out of the river. She boiled a pot of fish soup in a clay pot and stored it in the warehouse. After that, she left her interspace and went to sleep.

The two had black fish soup and chicken stuffed buns for breakfast the following day.

After eating, Zhou Ying drove the carriage to the clinic with Gu Chengxi and informed them that Gu Chengrui was taking sick leave.

After coming out, she went to her restaurant to ensure that her workers were fine, then drove the carriage back.

She didn’t expect to see Gu Chengxi swaying his feet as he sat in the carriage when she walked out of the back door. She was stunned for a moment and went forward to ask, “Why are you here? Isn’t the clinic busy?”

“I’m on leave. Since Chengrui is injured, I want to go back and learn from him. I can also help you out.” Gu Chengxi raised his head and replied.

Zhou Ying paused for a moment. “That’s fine too. It’s not safe on the road now. You’re just a child, so it wouldn’t be safe for you to go back and forth.”

“I’m already twelve, not a child anymore.”

“A half-grown child, okay?” Zhou Ying didn’t allow him to refute and drove the carriage home.

On the way, he found that many people in town were driving or pushing all kinds of carts to Shanghe village to get water.

She also saw a type of cart, but it wasn’t really a cart in the traditional sense. It only had two wheels and a rack holding them together.

On top of the rack, using the principle of balance, there was a wooden pillar as thick as a person’s thigh. In front of the fulcrum were some ropes tied to it, which could be used to tie about ten water buckets. The other end needed to be controlled by someone to move the cart forward.

Except for being slightly slower, it was as efficient as an ox cart.

“Sister-in-law, do you know what kind of cart that is?” Gu Chengxi asked curiously.

“I don’t know, but it looks pretty good. The inventor is quite smart.” Zhou Ying shook her head.

“Can we make one too? That way, we won’t have to water the land manually daily.”

“You’ll have to ask a carpenter.”

“I’ll go back and tell my father. Maybe it’ll work.”

She didn’t expect they would have built the same cart in the village the next day, which was much more exquisite than the one she had seen before. It also made the men in the village who carried water to the crops every day feel more at ease.

Of course, after Gu Chengxi spread the word around, the villagers also knew about Gu Chengrui’s injury..
