"About twenty minutes ago, Lin Zhiqing, does your brother have epilepsy?"

“Yes, it’s a lingering condition from a previous brain injury.” She said to Wang Qiang and Chen Lu, “Wang and Chen, thank you for your help. You can both go back to work. I’ll stay here and watch over him.”

"good."

Wang Qiang and Chen Lu went back to their respective work, leaving Lin Qingyan alone to watch over the unconscious Lin Zhiheng.

She had originally planned to find a place to give him acupuncture after the autumn harvest, but now it seems she can't wait that long.

About half an hour later, Lin Zhiheng finally woke up and saw Lin Qingyan beside him. He quickly sat up.

I just had a seizure. When did my sister arrive? Did she see me having a seizure? Did it scare her?

"Sister, older sister."

Lin Qingyan supported him: "How are you feeling now?"

"I'm much better now, I don't feel anything anymore."

"Sister, when did you arrive?"

“Sister Chen Lu went to call me just now. When I got here, you were already unconscious.”

She glanced at the other educated youths who were working, and seeing that no one was paying attention to them, she said to Lin Zhiheng, "Xiaoheng, let me tell you something. I actually know people in the cowshed. After work, come with me to the cowshed, and I'll give you acupuncture, okay?"

"Okay." The boy nodded.

He stood up and said, "Sister, I'm fine now. Don't worry about me. It's always like this. As long as I can wake up after fainting, I'm not in danger for the time being."

"You shouldn't work anymore; you need to rest now."

"But it's harvest time now. If I ask for leave, will the squad leader agree?"

"I'll go talk to him."

She told Lin Zhiheng, "Sit here for a while, I'll go find someone to ask for leave for you."

She first went to the squad leader of the third squad to ask for leave. The squad leader was very accommodating. Moreover, after learning about Lin Zhiheng's situation, he was afraid that Lin Zhiheng might be in danger again, so he let Lin Zhiheng go home from work.

Lin Qingyan took him back to the educated youth settlement, told him to lie down on the kang (a heated brick bed) and rest well, and then went back to continue cutting pig feed.

In the evening, after Lin Qingyan finished work, dinner was almost ready.

After dinner, Lin Qingyan called Lin Zhiheng over and told Chen Lu that she had been invited by Li Qinqin to go to the brigade leader's house. She was afraid that it would get dark and needed Lin Zhiheng to accompany her. She estimated that she would not be back for more than an hour and asked them to leave the door open for her. Chen Lu agreed.

Because Lu Zhengting had delivered things to Lin Qingyan three times yesterday, and Li Qinqin had also invited Lin Qingyan to her house before, the educated youth who overheard Lin Qingyan's words did not suspect anything.

By this time, it was already getting dark. Lin Qingyan and Lin Zhiheng left the gate of the educated youth settlement and only dared to walk towards the cowshed after seeing that no one was outside.

As they walked, Lin Qingyan suddenly heard a rustling sound coming from the side.

Today is the tenth day of the lunar month, and the waxing crescent moon is already high in the sky, its faint light allowing them to see the road clearly.

She looked around, her gaze finally settling on a dark, backlit corner where the voice was coming from.

Lin Qingyan stopped walking, and Lin Zhiheng also stopped walking.

"Sister, what's wrong?" Lin Zhiheng asked softly.

Lin Qingyan pointed to the corner where the sound had just come from. Lin Zhiheng looked over there and said to Lin Qingyan, "Sister, there seems to be someone over there."

Perhaps because he had been homeless since childhood, he could immediately recognize that it was a person and felt great sympathy for such a homeless person.

Lin Qingyan said, "Let's go take a look together, but we need to be careful." After all, they didn't know whether the person was a bad guy or a good guy.

"good."

So they tiptoed over, and when they got a little closer to the person, the rustling sound suddenly disappeared.

The figure swayed, and Lin Qingyan saw that the person had a head of messy hair, but because the moonlight was blocked by the side, she still couldn't see the person's appearance clearly.

The principle is: if the enemy doesn't move, I move; if the enemy moves, I don't move.

When the other party moved, the siblings remained rooted to the spot, waiting for the other party to make another move.

But after they froze, the figure also stopped moving.

Lin Qingyan took a step forward, and the man actually shook his head again.

Lin Qingyan: "..."

This is not a matter of "if the enemy doesn't move, I move; if the enemy moves, I don't move."

This means that if the enemy doesn't move, I don't move; if the enemy moves, I move.

Lin Qingyan stopped and asked softly, "Who are you?"

No one answered her, but the figure moved again, and Lin Qingyan still saw the other person's messy hair.

Lin Qingyan didn't want to waste any more time. No matter who the other person was, nothing was more important than her giving Lin Zhiheng acupuncture.

"Xiao Heng, we don't know who he is, so let's just leave it at that and go."

Lin Zhiheng hesitated for a moment, then nodded: "Okay."

Just as they were about to leave, they suddenly heard a dog barking behind them. Turning around, they saw a dog's shadow running quickly toward them.

"Whose dog is this? Will it bite?" Lin Qingyan asked instinctively.

In her past life, she had seen many cases of dogs biting people. Could the dogs of this era be even more ferocious than those of today?

Lin Zhiheng quickly grabbed a stick from the side and stood in front of Lin Qingyan, saying, "Sister, don't be afraid. If it bites, I'll chase it away."

Even though he was holding a stick, the dog still ran towards them.

But before the dog could reach them, suddenly, a figure darted out from behind them and pounced on the dog. After a brief struggle between man and dog, the dog ran away, and the man chased after it.

The dog ran very fast, and the people ran very fast too. In no time, they all disappeared from their sight.

Lin Zhiheng asked, puzzled, "Sister, why was that person chasing that dog? Aren't people usually afraid of dogs?"

Lin Qingyan shook her head: "I don't know either. The fact that he can chase after the dog proves that he's not afraid of dogs. The dog is afraid of him, so he definitely won't get hurt by the dog."

Lin Zhiheng was still looking in the direction where the man and dog had chased each other away.

"I think that person runs really fast, he seems really amazing."

Lin Qingyan recalled the figure she had just seen. The person didn't seem very tall, and the light was too dim for her to see clearly whether it was a man or a woman, or how old it was. However, she felt that since the person could run so fast and fight with a dog, it was very likely a man, and a short young man at that.

"Perhaps his skill is his specialty. Okay, let's stop studying him. Let's hurry up and get to where we need to go, or it will be too late when we get back to the educated youth settlement."

"Okay, sure." Lin Zhiheng was still stunned for a moment, and he felt that the person just now looked like an old lady.

He was also puzzled as to why the person looked like an old lady.
