Chapter 26 Er Gou is Dead (Seeking Monthly Tickets)

"Bullshit! My precious grandson is still breathing, how could he be dead? If you talk nonsense again, I'll tear your mouth apart!" Grandma Wang roared angrily.

Xu Guangcai refused to remain timid any longer.

He'd been a coward his whole life, and he'd had enough.

In the past, after getting married and having children, and then having grandchildren, life became more and more promising.

Because of this spendthrift woman, his son and grandson are about to lose their lives.

"You're the kind of person who always fails to save where you should and saves where you shouldn't. Now look what's happened, you've ruined this family, you can be king now, aren't you very proud?" Xu Guangcai said sarcastically.

“Shut your stinking mouth! They are my children, how could I not care about them? When we were at the county hospital, you also wanted to save money, otherwise why didn’t you stop me?” Grandma Wang retorted.

“You’ve always been a bully, and you’ve been going after Wang Xiuzhi for years. Now that Wang Xiuzhi has run away, you’re quite famous in Xujia Village.”

"I bet you're still thinking about Wang Xiuzhi. What a pity. You're so eager to please her, but she never gives you a chance."

"I told you long ago that there's nothing between me and Wang Xiuzhi, why don't you believe me?"

Grandma Wang felt her grandson in her arms gradually stop breathing. She stopped arguing with Xu Guangcai and kept shaking her grandson's body.

"My dear grandson, my dear grandson, don't leave Grandma. Wake up! You can tell Grandma anything you want, and Grandma will grant it to you." No matter how much Grandma Wang called out, the person in her arms did not respond.

Xu Guangcai squatted to the side, took out a welding fumes, lit one, and smoked in silence.

Grandma Wang was unwilling to accept this fact and hurriedly placed her hopes on the barefoot doctor.

"Please save my precious grandson! He seems to have stopped breathing."

"Why aren't you moving? Are you dead?"

"You don't deserve to be a barefoot doctor! You're a murderer! You can't even save a life, how dare you live in this world? Why don't you just die?"

Grandma Wang kept cursing the barefoot doctor, blaming him for everything.

The barefoot doctor felt a tightness in his chest; the death of Grandma Wang's grandson also troubled him.

He could never bear to see anyone die.

The barefoot doctor couldn't help but shed two streams of tears.

He muttered, "Why didn't you listen to me? Why didn't you let them stay in the county hospital? I've already given Xu Guangcai money; you should have the money to be hospitalized."

Grandma Wang was taken aback, and Xu Guangcai turned his face away guiltily, pretending to run away.

Grandma Wang put her grandson on the ground and got up to chase after Xu Guangcai.

Xu Guangcai didn't dare to linger and immediately turned and ran.

The barefoot doctor couldn't catch his breath, closed his eyes, and collapsed to the ground unconscious.

Xu Qingmo passed by the barefoot doctor's house. The door was half open, and the barefoot doctor was lying across the doorway.

She originally intended to leave, but after taking only two steps, she turned back.

He grabbed the barefoot doctor's arm and dragged him into the back room, easily throwing him onto the bed.

Xu Qingmo took out the spiritual spring water from a porcelain jar and fed it to the barefoot doctor.

Once she was certain that most of the toxins in his body had dissipated and that his life was no longer in danger, Xu Qingmo turned and walked out.

Er Gou sat in the corner, staring longingly at Xu Qingmo, and asked curiously, "What did you just feed the barefoot doctor?"

"Poison." The childish voice was full of detachment. Xu Qingmo shook the porcelain bottle in her hand and asked, "Want to drink some too?"

Er Gou hid behind her, "I don't want to, you're such a bad kid."

"I'm bad?" Xu Qingmo walked towards Er Gou without saying a word and kicked his broken leg.

"Ouch...it hurts, it hurts, do you want me to die?" Er Gou was trembling with fear.

He personally witnessed Xu Qingmo slay the wolf king with just a stick.

Even when he was perfectly healthy, he wasn't as strong as the Wolf King, let alone now that he's covered in injuries.

At this moment, five-year-old Xu Qingmo was more frightening than the wolf king in Er Gou's eyes.

He curled up, trying to make himself as inconspicuous as possible.

"Someone like you would be better off dead. You're just a waste of food." Xu Qingmo was too lazy to waste any more words with Er Gou. If his wounds weren't bandaged in time, he'd be half-crippled even if he didn't die.

I almost forgot, he's already half-crippled.

That means death is not far off.

Not long after Xu Qingmo left, the door to the barefoot doctor's house was pushed open, and a figure crept into the house in the dark.

Looking around to make sure no one was around, he tiptoed into the back room and rummaged through the things inside.

The other party sneaked into the barefoot doctor's bedroom and ransacked the place.

Finally, ten large bills were found.

The shadowy figure took the large bill directly. Just as he left the inner room and entered the side room, a winnowing basket came crashing down on his head.

The shadowy figure let out a mournful howl, and Er Gou recognized the sound.

He tentatively asked, "Is it Wang Erdan?"

The figure in the shadows was taken aback, then immediately retorted, "I am not Wang Erdan."

It was Wang Erdan's voice. Ergou instantly recognized him. Despite the pain, he asked, "You came here to steal from the barefoot doctor? Aren't you afraid the village chief will find out?"

"Who said I stole anything?" Wang Erdan grabbed a stool next to him and walked towards Er Gou, threatening, "If you dare to tell anyone else about this, I'll smash you to death with this stool."

Er Gou hated Wang Er Dan. The two of them went to the back mountain together, but Wang Er Dan pushed him next to the wolf king, and he almost lost his life in the wolf king's mouth.

Wang Erdan, however, was perfectly fine and could still come in and rummage through drawers and cabinets to steal things.

Er Gou knew very well that even if he recovered his health in the future, it would not change the fact that he was disabled.

Why is Wang Erdan completely unharmed?

Er Gou yelled at the top of his lungs, "Help! Wang Erdan is stealing things and money! Everyone come and catch the thief!"

In a moment of desperation, Wang Erdan smashed the stool he was holding onto Er Gou's head.

Duang! Er Gou fell to the ground with a thud.

Wang Erdan didn't dare linger. He still had ten ten-yuan bills hidden in his pocket. If they were discovered, those ten-yuan bills would no longer belong to him.

He turned and ran away without hesitation.

...

As the rooster crowed, a new day began, and people started to move around in Xujia Village.

A family rushed to the barefoot doctor's house in a panic, carrying their six-year-old son, muttering, "Uncle Zhang, please save my son! He suddenly fell into a deep sleep and is talking in his sleep. We can't wake him up no matter what we do!"

The woman's eyes reddened with anxiety, while the man beside her grumbled that she, a grown woman, couldn't even take care of a child properly, and even threatened that if anything happened to the brat, she wouldn't want him as her wife anymore.

The man pushed open the door to the barefoot doctor's house and found it unlocked and empty.

Their hearts tightened. They had heard yesterday that Grandma Wang had come here to cause trouble. Could the barefoot doctor still be so angry that he hadn't gotten out of bed yet?

"Uncle Zhang, are you home?" the woman called out several times into the house.

Her husband rushed into the house first and suddenly found Er Gou lying in a pool of blood in the corner, his head drooping and his face ashen. He had been dead for a long time.

"Someone's dead..."
