Chapter 33: All Acquaintances

Xiao Nanxing contacted Director Liao again to explain the matter. Director Liao was very supportive and told her, "Doctor Liu will also be there this time. You can talk to him if you have any questions."

"Okay, thank you."

In the evening, Li Xiaoxiao knew that she was going to the free clinic and thought that she had signed up for it herself. Xiao Nanxing did not explain.

"I would have signed up if I had known," Li Xiaoxiao instructed her. "Be careful, don't trust people easily, and don't be too aggressive."

Xiao Nanxing nodded, "Don't worry, no one knows that place better than me."

She and her grandfather traveled to remote villages and towns in the province. After her grandfather passed away, she would go there every year. Later, when she grew up, she went out of the province to practice medicine and continued to practice her grandfather's teachings.

She had seen both good and evil along the way, and thought that the innocent campus would allow people to let down their guard, but in the end, she fell into the place she thought was safe.

At seven o'clock in the morning, she arrived at the hospital on time, and sure enough, there were only doctors she didn't know.

She signed in with Dr. Qu, boarded the unified bus, and sat quietly at the back.

Everyone closed their eyes and rested when they got on the bus, because they knew that the next step would be very tiring and busy. The whole journey took two and a half hours, and we arrived safely in Wanli County.

Some important equipment is placed in the county’s First People’s Hospital. It is impossible for all equipment and all people to go to the countryside. Some important patients discovered during the free clinic will be transferred to the First Hospital for treatment.

Xiao Nanxing followed the group's arrangements and went to the hotel to rest. While waiting in line to check in, she felt a gentle pat on the back. She turned around and asked, "Squad Leader?"

Gu Yizhi still looked gentle and refined, "It really is you, Xiao Nanxing, I thought I was seeing things."

Xiao Nanxing smiled. "Squad leader, you're still as charming as ever. Are you in the First Hospital now?"

These were all the news that Li Xiaoxiao told her.

"Yeah, you're in the Fourth Hospital? I ran into Xiaoxiao the last time I went there, but I didn't see you."

"I'm in the Department of Traditional Chinese Medicine."

Well, it was not a good time to talk today. Gu Yizhi was afraid that she would recall those unhappy things. "I will go to Baishui Town for this free clinic. What about you?"

"That's a coincidence. I was also assigned to Baishui Town."

Gu Yizhi's eyes lit up, "Great, we can do this together. Come on, give me your phone number so we can look after each other."

After Xiao Nanxing changed his cell phone number, only Li Xiaoxiao knew about it, and his former classmates had long lost contact.

Xiao Nanxing exchanged numbers with him, and another familiar person came running over. "Squad Leader, what a coincidence! I heard you're going to Baishui Town too? Can I team up with you?"

Xiao Nanxing turned his head and really didn't want to see these so-called old people.

It’s not that I’m embarrassed, but I’m annoyed.

Gong Fangfang's eyes were full of Gu Yizhi, and she didn't notice Xiao Nanxing standing in front of her at all.

It was Wang Jin who came to look for Xiao Nanxing. He waved and called her, "Xiao Nanxing, this way."

Gong Fangfang turned around suddenly, her face pale and then dark, then she pretended nothing had happened, "Ah, Xiao Nanxing? You're here too? Which hospital are you in now?"

Xiao Nanxing glanced at her indifferently, as if she were a stranger, "Fourth Hospital."

Gong Fangfang curled her lips, unable to conceal her pride, "I'm in the first hospital."

As soon as he walked out of the hospital, it seemed like he ran into all the familiar faces, and Xiao Nanxing felt helpless.

Wang Jin walked over and nodded to the two of them. "Xiao Nanxing, I looked at the group list and you're on it. I thought we had the same name. We're both going to Baishui Town. It's perfect. You can come with me and we can be partners."

Xiao Nanxing smiled and said, "Okay, thank you, Doctor Wang."

Wang Jin laughed and waved his hand, "Okay, see you later."

Xiao Nanxing said goodbye to Gu Yizhi, who was being entangled by Gong Fangfang, and went to handle the formalities.

They booked a double room. Fortunately, the person she shared the room with was a female nurse from the Fourth Hospital. The two nodded to each other and knew each other.

They would have to stay here most of the time for the next month, and they didn't know if there was any place to stay in the town. Her only luggage was a backpack, so she just carried it on her back. She was actually not used to sleeping in the same room with strangers.

After lunch, everyone who was going to a town got on the same bus. Xiao Nanxing and Wang Jin sat in one row, with Gu Yizhi and Gong Fangfang in front of them.

Gu Yizhi turned around to talk to her, but Gong Fangfang interrupted him. Xiao Nanxing pretended not to see it and closed her eyes to take a nap.

With these two people around, she suddenly felt unsure whether this free clinic trip would be easy.

She didn't hate Gu Yizhi, she hated Gong Fangfang, especially because she always treated herself as an imaginary rival in love, as if everyone would like Gu Yizhi.

Wang Jin noticed the strange atmosphere between the three people, touched his nose and said nothing, and decided to take better care of Xiao Nanxing.

After shaking for more than an hour, they arrived at Baishui Town Central Hospital. Gu Yizhi was their leader, and he went to negotiate with the hospital.

Xiao Nanxing stretched and followed the reception nurse to the hospital dormitory. Fortunately, it was a single room. Although it was a little small, she was very satisfied.

Nurse Jin, who was leading them, assigned rooms to everyone and looked at her frequently. Xiao Nanxing even thought there was something on her face. "Nurse Jin?"

"Ah, you, you are Sister Xiao Nanxing?"

Xiao Nanxing was confused, "Who are you?" She had no relatives here.

Nurse Jin smiled brightly. "I'm Jin Azhu, the younger sister of Jin Ashui from Xia'ao Village. She's never met me, but I've seen her photos and videos."

Xiao Nanxing suddenly realized that her canine teeth were exactly the same as her brother's. "So it's Ah Zhu. I heard your brother mention you. Have you graduated from medical school?"

Jin Azhu was very happy, "Yes, I just graduated and started working at the Central Hospital."

"Not bad, not bad."

Jin Azhu helped her clean up the room with quick hands and feet. "If my brother, my father, and my mother knew you were here, they would be very happy. Our whole village would be happy too."

Xiao Nanxing patted her head and said, "Go and do your own thing. I'll clean up slowly."

After finally getting her out of the way, Xiao Nanxing was in a good mood as he met many familiar fellow villagers here.

In the afternoon, everyone began to familiarize themselves with the venue, set up their own free clinic tables, and recharge their batteries as the official free clinic would begin tomorrow.

In the evening, Jin Azhu brought her a bag of fruit and said, "My brother and his family will come over tomorrow. Knowing that you are coming, the villagers plan to come and support you together."

Xiao Nanxing didn't know whether to laugh or cry, "Really, no need. If you need a follow-up check, you can come."

Forget about others, she doesn't want to become a giant panda.

"Don't worry, we're just here to see you. We won't interfere with your work. I'm leaving now. See you tomorrow."

Xiao Nanxing just hoped that tomorrow wouldn't be too exaggerated, otherwise some people would be unhappy again.

I had a dreamless night. The quiet air in the countryside was nice. I got up on time at six o'clock, had breakfast, and had a simple morning meeting. Gu Yizhi announced the start of the free clinic and everyone got busy.

She and Wang Jin were the only traditional Chinese medicine practitioners who came to Baishui Town. Their tents and free clinic tables were next to each other so they could take care of each other.

Today happened to be the big market day, and the villagers all got up early. Soon, people heard the news and came.

Of course, the first place they went to was the Western medicine free clinic, where the two young Chinese medicine practitioners were sitting with no one paying attention to them.

Xiao Nanxing himself didn't care, but when he looked up, he saw Gong Fangfang on the opposite side giving him a smug and sarcastic look.

Haha, he has been like this for several years.

Xiao Nanxing couldn't help rolling his eyes at her. Gong Fangfang saw it and took a deep breath.

Around nine o'clock in the morning, their Chinese medicine clinic finally opened, but the fellow villager went to Wang Jin's desk first.
